MATCH POINT CANADA S6, EPISODE 13 – MARINA STAKUSIC

19-year-old Canadian tennis player Marina Stakusic returns to Match Point Canada this week!
She discusses building upon her pro career, adapting to the top levels of the game, how winning Billie Jean King Cup last fall helped her confidence, and what types of goals she’s setting for 2024.

Meantime, the clay court swing is well underway. Ben and Mike recap another title from red-hot Danielle Collins in Charleston, preview the first Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo and run down their top five clay court players on both the men’s and women’s side.
