EPISODE DESCRIPTION

This week on the Lucky Letcord Podcast Tennis Now's editor Richard Pagliaro joins to help us debate the WTA's year-end awards.

1. Player of the Year Halep/Wozniacki/Kerber/Osaka/Kvitova
2. Doubles Team of the Year
3. Most Improved
4. Best Newcomer
5. Comeback Player of the year

Then we dive into a discussion of Novak Djokovic's amazing performance at Shanghai, asking:

1. Is he going to finish the year No.1?
2. How long is this run going to continue?
3. What is it about him that makes him such a force?

We also discuss our picks for coach of the year, making mention of many significant coaching contributions in 2018, and of course, leaving a few out (sorry Jan de Witt!)

And finally -- what should we make of Roger Federer's performance in Shanghai and what can we expect from the Swiss now that Novak Djokovic has returned to dominance? Thanks for listening!
