Spain has dominated tennis for more than 2 decades, but is their reign finally coming to an end?
The country has seen a drop in the number of top 100 players in both the mens and women´s game.
In today´s episode we speak to US Coach Chris Lewit who has spent the past 20 years studying Spanish tennis to discuss why this is. We look at the current state and future of tennis in Spain, the impact of more international players training in the country, and why he thinks modernising training methodologies is needed to keep Spain dominant on the world stage.
Topics we look into include:
- Generational shifts in attitudes towards tennis.
- Has training more international players rather than native Spaniards had an affect?
- The serve is often neglected in traditional Spanish training.
- Does this generation of players have the willingness to suffer and sacrifice like Nadal did?
- Does Carlos Alcaraz represent a new generation of Spanish players with a different style?
- The future of Spanish tennis depends on evolving methodologies and focusing on grassroots development.

- Check out Chris Lewit´s book: The Secrets of Spanish Tennis
- Support Dan´s 15K Your Way Challenge to raise money for Alzheimer´s Society UK
