Matt Futterman is an award-winning sports journalist for The Athletic and New York Times. His new book is The Cruelest Game: Chasing Greatness in Professional Tennis.
This is a fascinating conversation about the book and why professional tennis can feel uniquely brutal, even for the best players in the world.
We talk through the childhood pipeline, the mental load of constant losing, and what separates the era of Serena, Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic from the stars trying to survive now.
- Why tennis players walk away at their peak in a way players in other sports don't
- The hidden costs of junior tennis: money, travel, isolation, and identity
- Conditional love and pressure from family expectations
- Why “winning feels like relief” at the top and why that is dangerous
- Resilience tools: staying present, bouncing back after bad points, learning under stress
- Why legends struggle to retire and how greatness becomes a trap
- What the ATP doubles cuts get wrong about the real problem
- Practical ideas for doubles: format, scheduling, atmosphere, and rules
