The Middle Eastern swing is over for Team Linette and now it's time for a bit of R&R before Indian Wells and Miami. Mark is back at home in Delray Beach and together we listen to a chat I did with Carlos Martinez - the husband and coach of Nicole Melicar-Martinez and her doubles partner Ellen Perez. Carlos also coached Karolina Pliskova for a while and tells us why he couldn't continue with the former world number 1. He also tells us why he studied Geology before becoming a top tennis coach and his coaching philosopy, plus a lot more. It's a great listen!

Please let us know your thoughts and send questions into Mark @DOAPTC.

Also, Mark has organised a wonderful line-up of top professionals for an upcoming Tennis Webinar on March 15/16th at 9am EST (1pm GMT).

If you'd like to listen in to experts who've worked with the likes of Magda Linette, Elina Svitolina, Belinda Bencic, Shelby Rogers, Sloane Stephens, Tommy Paul and Dennis Shapovalov, then you don't want to miss this!
