Episode Notes

Patrick Kypson joins the podcast to recap his sensational second half of the 2025 season, which included four Challenger Titles after a career-high ranking. Kypson recounts how he was able to lock in and win the USTA's Australian Open Wild Card Challenge, which gives him a spot in the main draw at next year's slam in Melbourne. The American explains how he was able to analyze and improve his game while injured, the reason why he enjoys playing on the clay, and why attacking and moving forward is crucial in the modern game. Kypson also dives into his North Carolina roots, which included a tough choice between tennis and a budding ice hockey career. The pro reveals how he stays calm on the court, his method for measuring success that does not include wins and losses, and what his hobbies are when he gets some down time. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
