The Behind the Racquet with Mike Cation and Noah Rubin

The Behind the Racquet Podcast is the best glimpse you can get in to the ins and outs of professional tennis, told by its players, and voiced by Tennis Star Noah Rubin, and his podcast partner, tennis commentator Mike Cation.

	Life has changed.
	The caveats are important here. Nothing, in terms of discussing the what ifs of tennis, matters as much as the health of humans, and how we move forward as a society. That being said, Mike and Noah talk a bit this week about how they're personally being impacted, and how the decision making processes by the various entities in the sport are drastically underrepresenting its players. Personal note from Mike: Apologies for not properly thanking all of our incredible patreon supporters in this week's episode. I will make sure to make that right next week.

	Noah's 15-All Volume 8: Yeah, we're a bit nervous about the impact of Coronavirus too
	Noah jumps about 25 spots in the rankings after a GREAT week in Indian Wells. Naturally, he's headed to Hawaii. And yes, the coronavirus is weighing heavily on our minds. First, both of us are quite aware that the human toll, in casualties, illnesses, and the like are far more important. But the impact that tennis players outside the top 50 feel, are similar to the impacts that many of our listeners feel. So we riff on it for a bit.

	Thai the Enigma
	Lots to discuss with Thai-Son Kwiatkowski on the eve of the stacked Indian Wells Challenger. He won Newport Beach earlier this year after a difficult 2019 mentally. How did he turn it around. Also, he immediately went to Japan after winning that tile, and not for an individual event. Find out why. Thanks for all the support of the podcast since the launch of our new name and patreon last week. We're extremely appreciative, more than we can express.
