Andy Fitzell is the coach of rising US doubles stars JJ Tracy and Robert Cash. I spoke with Andy at Indian Wells to unpack how a pro team actually prepares, competes, and keeps improving when the margins are almost invisible.

We dig into scouting, training plans, partner psychology, and what tennis needs to change for doubles to get the attention it deserves.

Match-day practice and routines at Indian Wells
The use of film for both scouting and technical improvement
Learning doubles through Vic Braden, Steve Smith, and other coaching mentors
Developing JJ and Robert as individuals and as a team
Using brain typing to tailor coaching, improve communication, and reduce friction
Changing serve technique and improving net play with video, rationale, and practice
Why change feels hard, and how daily reps overwrite old habits
Managing expectations after breakout results and staying with the process
Learning from losses by reviewing video and spotting repeatable patterns
The doubles scoring system and what could make doubles more popular

Andy is a walking encyclopedia of tennis knowledge, so I'm sure I'll have him on again in the future. Be sure to watch JJ Tracy and Robert Cash on Tennis TV and TC Plus this year!
