About this listen

Neal Skupski is currently ranked #1 in the world in doubles. He won the Australian Open earlier this year, and has made three of the past four major finals. His brother, Ken Skupski, is a former top 50 doubles player who now coaches Neal and his new partner, Christian Harrison.

Neal & Ken joined me at the Dallas Open to unpack the Australian Open Title, the new partnership with Christian Harrison, and the British system that has elevated five British players inside the top ten. We dig into drills, pressure management, and their relationship.

  • Neal's takeaways from reaching 3/4 slam finals and returning to world #1
  • How they've adjusted to the new partnership with Chrstian Harrison
  • Off‑season habits and routines that travel into week one
  • The serve‑plus‑one volley drill: Footwork and technique
  • How Ken develops himself as a coach
  • Ken's method for breaking up majors into two tournaments
  • The brothers’ coach‑player dynamic, conflict avoidance, and trust
  • Thoughts on the Sam Querrey top‑40 doubles claim and respect for the craft
