I'm just getting back from my first Australian Open and I have so many feels! It was a dream come true trip that included cheering on all of my Fantastic Tennis Family and I'm really excited to talk about it. Today, we add another Aussie to the list of greats that have shared their stories on the pod. Australian spitfire, Arina Rodionova joins me, Jon Guerrica in a truly hilarious chat that is definitely worth a listen. We take a look back on a career that has seen Arina win 17 ITF singles & 42 ITF doubles titles, including a WTA title with Storm Hunter in Hua Hin. We talk injuries, expectations, coming from a tennis family, and if you can count the F-bombs in this episode, I'll buy you a drink. I loved this chat today and I hope you love getting to know....the fantastic, Arina Rodionova.

WTA world #50 and Colombian #1, Emiliana Arango is here with us this week on the Fantastic Tennis Podcast, to chat about an INCREDIBLE 2025 season that saw her reach a career high ranking, make two WTA 500 finals (in Merida & Guadalajara) and also win the biggest title of her career at the $125K event in Cancun. A coincidence that she plays her best tennis on Mexican hardcourts? Host, Jon Guerrica discusses a promising early career that was compromised by injury and how she's now been able to play the best tennis of her career. It's a fun chat with a young player that continues to reach milestone after milestone, and is about to play her very first Australian Open main draw. It's been a dream come true year for one of the nicest and most resilient players on tour.
