Join CTC Host Dan Kiernan and special guests as they debate one of the hottest topics in tennis right now: Is the new ‘Elite Tour’ good for tennis? The new tour being proposed by the Grand Slams would see only the top 96 players compete in a reduced number of tournaments for an exponential rise in prize money.
