Serving Aces with Alexandra Stevenson

Alexandra Stevenson opens Serving Aces with "newsy" topics including Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes win against Arizona State leading them to a 4-2 record and maybe - a chance at a Bowl game.  Alexandra talks about the NFL, the missing Taylor Swift in Minnesota, Travis Kelce injured ankle, San Francisco 49ers and Cowboys Sunday night game, baseball - and the legends leading the baseball telecasts including Derek Jeter, (Big Papi) David Ortiz, and Alex Rodriguez.

Hugues aka "Ougi" introduces a new segment "The Ball is in Ougi's Court."  He talks about mental pressure - and Alexandra gives stories of her playing days and mental toughness - how to be totally ready to play. The checklist for players. A must listen for the different types of junior player personalities on the tennis court. Making a game plan.

The duo ends the podcast with the war in Israel and how political problems in countries affects professional tennis players.  Alexandra talks about a bomb near her hotel in Turkey, Mexico situation with drug cartels.  Moscow after 9-11 and armed guards.  At the US Open, Chris Eubanks said he would play in Israel in the Fall. The Tel Aviv Open is in November - but with the war declared in Israel - the tournament will certainly be cancelled for the safety of everyone.

The quote of the podcast goes to Dick Butkus, RIP..."I worked hard at becoming a professional football player - just like society says you should.  It said you had to be fierce. Tough.  I was tough"
