Torben Beltz has had a highly successful career as a top coach on the WTA Tour. He helped fellow German Angie Kerber, to three Major Titles and an Olympic Silver Medal. Kerber's victories included a big one over Serena Williams. Beltz explains how Angie got the win over the WTA great.

More recently. Beltz guided Eva Lys to the 4th round of the Australian Open 2025 as a Lucky Loser. Lys found out 5 minutes before that she was going to take the place of the injured Anna Kalinskaya and faced Kim Birrel in the first round of the main draw. Lys won that match and two more before being taken out by an in-form Iga Swiatek. Beltz tells the story - and it's a great one - so please enjoy this edition of Diary of a Professional Tennis Coach!

One of the best physio's in professional tennis (and plenty of other sports too) joins DOAPTC on this episode. What Graham Anderson doesn't know about the body, probably doesn't need to be known - although he's an extremely humble man - as you'll hear. Graham tells Candy all about the most common injuries in tennis, his life on Tour and how he got to where he is. It's part of professional tennis that probably isn't spoken about enough, but ask any player and they'll tell you that the physiotherapists are arguably the most important part of the team, especially in this day and age, where the speed of the game is just accelerating with every passing moment.

There's so much that goes into running a tournament, so much in particular behind the scenes - and Peter gives us insight into his role; how and why the players decide to play a particular tournament; and whether the big names get more 'perks' than the rest of the field.
