Diary of a Professional Tennis Coach

Bjorn Fratangelo was a top ATP 100 player - before injury forced to him to hang up his racquet. His loss was his girlfriend's gain as Bjorn started coaching Maddison Keys and in 2025 she won the Australian Open with Bjorn by her side. Bjorn kindly chats for an hour with DOAPTC's Candy Reid about his career; what makes a good coach; what he likes most about Tour life (and what he likes least); if he thinks US College is a good idea; and goes through Key's incredible start to 2025.
