Tristan Schoolkate spent nearly two years away from home chasing the top 100. He played 36 tournaments in one season and finished the year at No. 100 exactly. What did it take to get there—and how did he feel when he finally stopped?
Tristan joins us from the Challenger tour to talk about the constant travel, injuries, tough losses, and the work of finding joy in another week on the road. We also get into his Australian Open match against Jannik Sinner, the decisions behind taking a break, and what he’s learning about his game.
