Hi everyone, welcome back to our new episode of Love All.

Very excited today. I feel like I'm excited every time we start, but today I'm super excited because it takes me back through, you know, big part of my tennis life and from a young age when I was

10 or 11 started working with Carl Masse, who we have on our show today. And I'm really excited

to pick his brain more and kind of learn a little bit about, you know, why he did some things,

you know, when I was younger and we're at the stage where we're talking about changing surfaces and going from the hard courts to the clay course and kind of just now it's my turn to dissect his brain a little bit and see why he did, you know, some of the things and what was the top process behind it. So I was super excited to talk to him. Okay. Should we start with some Henley's headlines? Go for it, Blair. All right. Jess Pagula, back-to-back wins in Charleston. It's her 11th career title. She's currently ranked five in the world. She's been as high as three. But gosh, you feel like the way that she is playing this year, we are destined to see that number go up. She was the first player to

repeat in Charleston since Serena, or to go back to back or defend a title since 2012,

2013, Serena Williams. And as an added bonus, we talked about this a few weeks ago, Kim,

the Charleston tournament made their total prize money purse equal with what you would see

at a men's 500 event.

So, yeah, Jess took home $354,000.

So she didn't get the pay bump last year.

She was like, I just got to win again.

And she did.

And she did.

She didn't get it easy, though. She had to work hard for it. I think she was on court I just got to win again. And she did. And she didn't get it. She didn't get it easy, though.

She had to work hard for it. I think she was on court for five matches, but over 11 hours, I think, that she was on the court. And her finals were the easiest match out of all. So she played in the first four rounds, close three setters. but really good for her to, after a long kind of hardcore season,

right, where you have Indian Wells, Miami, and it's intense, and there's a lot going on that she

was able to, you know, physically and mentally, like, stay really committed to playing well there.

And just also really excited to see, although she was the first seat, but, you know, you get to a point in your career where I feel like experience starts making a difference.

And I definitely think she's she's also reached that point where in big moments, even though she's probably maybe not feeling her best on a different surface yet, but knowing when to, you know, hit certain shots,

when to maybe back off a little bit and not go for the winners too early, wait for your opponents

to make the mistakes. Yeah, experience can definitely have a big impact in certain stages of your
