Tennis in Malaysia - Still Acing, Despite Various Challenges

Former national tennis player Adam Jaya joins us on the show to talk about what it’s like to be a professional tennis player, and the challenges that he had to go through in order to be competitive in the scene. He also addresses the elephant in the room - the rising popularity of pickleball and padel and whether it’ll affect tennis’ long-standing legacy.

In our Peak Performance segment, he walks us through his training routine back when he was competing, and shares some tips for beginners looking to start playing tennis.
