This is a short clip for our upcoming 250th episode of Control the Controllables!
A doubles special in collaboration with Will Boucek, the founder of Tennis Tribe and the Doubles Only podcast host.
FULL episode will be out later THIS WEEK.
There has been growing debate about the future of doubles in professional tennis, with concerns over its declining popularity and viability, as seen with changes like the US Open's mixed doubles format shift. Some argue that doubles is an underserved market neglected by tours. In contrast, others claim it simply does not attract enough interest or revenue, with high-profile figures like Andy Roddick and Reilly Opelka questioning the need for doubles specialists. However, others believe the issue is not with doubles itself but how it is marketed, emphasising the importance of personalities and visibility over just the format, as seen in the growing trend of celebrity-driven engagement in sports.
