Welcome back to Episode 67! Dimitri Steinmann joins us for an in-depth discussion on the ongoing clashes between players and the PSA referee directive. He also shares his thoughts on where he believes his current level stands among the best and what has propelled him to climb the rankings the way he has. It’s rare to see players consistently rise year after year, but Dimitri seems to have done just that. Don't miss out as he ranks where his coach, Simon Rösner, stands among the European greats! Enjoy.
Thanks in advance for all the comments, critiques and conversations!
