New to tennis or just love the drama? We break down the pro tennis world from the ground up—how it works, what winning Wimbledon or any Grand Slam really means, and how players actually make money. You’ll finally crack the code on tennis scoring, discover how AI is reshaping coaching behind the scenes, and understand why tennis is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports on the planet. Plus, we end with the incredible journey of Coco Gauff—the 21-year-old phenom whose power, humility, and resilience have earned her the nickname “The People’s Player.”
