Episode 4: #NextGen American Ernesto Escobedo

Welcome toooooo…. Hey, Great Shot!! In this week’s episode, Hosts Alex Gruskin and Max Rothman continue their #NextGen American series by taking a deep dive into the life and career of Ernesto Escobedo. The two discuss Ernesto’s unique upbringing, ogle at the power of his groundstrokes, reflect on his best professional results, and offer predictions about his future (hint: think Fernando Gonzalez). As always, the show ends with a Changeover Chat, where the two discuss the challenges of playing friends in tournaments, and continue with their new favorite segment, “Tennis Myths”. As always, the opinions in this podcast are our own, and we are happy to debate them with anyone kind enough to listen to or comment on our podcast.
