    Max Bauer from HEAD about the new Boom and the HEAD Squared

    Max Bauer is the Senior Global Product Manager for HEAD Tennis Racquets. He sat down with me to talk about the intense release schedule of 2026, of the new HEAD Booms and how AI helped in the design process, and we also get into the new HEAD Squared, which is a completely new racquet outside the other franchises. We also get into how difficult it is to get pro players to switch to a new racquet and much more.

    Rubin Statham, ex ATP Pro and Founder of Pro Stringer

    Rubin Statham’s story reads like a classic tennis hustle: a decade-plus on the road representing New Zealand in the Davis Cup, grinding out Challengers, then channeling all that lived pain (and string bills!) into a product players actually need. He retired in December and is now full-time at the helm of Pro Stringer - portable, pro-grade stringing machines you’ve likely seen popping up in player lounges and, yes, even on trains.

    Petros Tsitsipas, on shifting focus, brotherhood, doubles strategy and gear

    Petros Tsitsipas has spent most of his career carving out a place on the doubles tour, often alongside his brother Stefanos, but in recent months, he has been shifting his focus back to singles. I recently had the chance to sit down with him for a long conversation about life on tour, the unique dynamic of playing with siblings, the changing nature of doubles, and, of course, his gear.

    Alexander Ritschard, ATP Top 100 player on racquets, tour life and more

    I had the pleasure of chatting with Swiss-American ATP pro Alexander Ritschard, who’s working hard to come back from a tricky shoulder injury. You might remember Alexander from his breakout 2024 season, where he captured three Challenger titles and looked set for a steady rise up the rankings. But, as tennis so often reminds us, nothing is guaranteed, and an unlucky muscle tear put him on the sidelines. We went deep in this conversation — not just about his comeback, but about the mindset, routines, and tough realities that come with life on the professional tennis circuit.
