The price and passion of getting better
Live MintJack Dempsey was too damn good for his own good. After Jannik Sinner won the Australian Open, his coach, Darren Cahill, told the podcast, The Run Home With Andy & Gazey, that “we see a lot of players drop out of the game when you get to 22-23 years of age because you just can’t afford it”. “If you are not in the top 50-60,” Nagal says, “this is in everyone’s mind. It’s a constant fight of telling yourself ‘I need to win’ and yet telling yourself ‘I need to play tennis and not think win, win, win’.” I have never met Nagal, only chatted on the phone and exchanged texts, but I like his breed of athlete. In the podcast, Cahill, almost poetically, said: “If you’re not in the top 100, it’s a brutal sport and it’s tough to make a living out of it.
