  • Hello and welcome
    back to the Irish Tennis Updates Podcast.
    In this episode I’ve
    been talking to Conor Niland. Conor has been on the show before talking about
    his career, and his role as Davis Cup captain, but now he’s back to talk about
    his best-selling book “The Racket”. The book has been a best-seller in Ireland
    since it was released at the start of June.
    We talk about the
    process of writing the book, the busy two months since it was released, and
    also touch on some of the highlights from the book. Towards the end of the chat
    we also talk about the upcoming Davis Cup tie against Tunisia, and the return
    of the Irish Open this year to Carrickmines.

    back to the Irish Tennis Updates Podcast.
    This episode I’ve
    been chatting to Simon Carr, who recently retired from pro tennis after several
    years as the Irish ATP number one player. Simon was on the show before, during
    the first lockdown in 2020, and it great to catch up with him again and hear
    how his last few years have gone.
    We talk about his
    injury struggles, his highs and lows in tennis since 2020 and the difficult
    decision to retire from tennis. He mentions Davis Cup as a big motivation that
    kept him in the game. We also talk about what’s next for Simon.

    In this episode I’m
    reviewing the recent Davis Cup tie in Limerick. I do this with the help of Sam
    Barry, who was at the event commentating for Premier Sports on live TV within
    Ireland. We both agree it was a fantastic event with a lot of positives for Irish
    tennis.
     
    Over the weekend I
    got the chance to interview some of the players, including Dominic Thiem, Sebastian
    Ofner and Michael Agwi. This episode also features the audio from these
    interviews.
     
    The draw for the
    next round has been done and Ireland has drawn Tunisia away in the next round,
    which will take place in September. There is a lot to build on for the Irish
    team as they look ahead to this tie.

  • Hello and welcome
    back to the Irish Tennis Updates Podcast.
     
    This time I’m
    chatting to Davis Cup captain Conor Niland to look ahead to the upcoming tie
    Ireland vs Austria in Limerick on 3rd and 4th February.
    This is the first home tie in Ireland since 2015 and promises to be a great
    weekend of tennis.
     
    We chat about the
    tie itself, the players likely to play on both sides and some of Ireland’s
    recent ties that have led to this point. This includes recent away wins against
    El Salvador and Barbados. We also talk about some of the tougher Davis Cup years
    spent in group 3 and group 4.
     
    This is a great
    chat to get in the mood for the upcoming tie. If you’re lucky enough to have a
    ticket, make sure to make some noise! And if not, still get involved over the
    weekend with live scores and live streaming. Good luck team Ireland!

    Ever since I started this podcast, I’ve known that I had to have a chat with James McGee. And finally, here is that episode!

He reached the top 150 in the world ATP, won a Challenger event in 2016, and in 2014 he qualified for the main draw of the US Open. He also won many crucial matches for Ireland in the Davis Cup.

    These days James is based in Las Vegas and works for the Inspiring Children Foundation, where he is making a big difference in the lives of so many young people, giving them the chance for a better future.

    This week I’ve been chatting to Wesley O’Brien, an Irish tennis coach. Wesley is the founder of Hit and Hope Tennis and has visited various refugee camps around Europe, running tennis sessions and making the sport available to so many people who would otherwise not have access to it. Back home in Ireland, Wesley is involved with the Enjoy Tennis programme and blind tennis in particular, working with the Irish team at the 2018 blind tennis World Championships.
    We talk about all of this and more. Listen to find out how Wesley got started with these projects and about some of the experiences he’s had. This is a very inspirational episode and it’s brilliant to hear about this work.
