EXCLUSIVE: Ruud, Cerundolo, Goffin and Umbert RATE their season + make their 2026 PREDICTION!

Join Tennis Weekly for a very special Interview episode recorded from London where Kim & Chris are on site and interviewing the players ahead of the UTS Grand FINAL. They got the chance to sit down with French Open and US Open Finalist Casper Ruud, Francisco Cerundolo, Ugo Humbert, Tomáš Macháč, David Goffin and Adrian Mannarino. It's December so that means the UTS Grand Final is once again upon us and the line-up has never been better with top seed Alex de Minaur looking to defend his title and the likes of Andrey Rublev looking to stop him! They asked the players about their 2025 seasons, the highs and lows as well as the energy they are looking to bring to 2026 as well as Casper opening up about becoming a father to a daughter in the new year and the advice Lorenzo Musetti gave him!

Kim asks the players how they spend their time in London as Chris delves deeper into the string tension of Mannarino, Cerundolo having no clue there was a UTS Grand Final and asks Ruud how it felt to play in a Colosseum in front of Emperor Patrick Mouratoglou in Nimes!
