Kamau Murray is joined by San Diego ATP & WTA Tournament Director Ryan Redondo on this week's show, with pro tennis returning to southern California this month. Redondo explains how he got involved in the game as a player, and why he decided to make the transition into coaching, culminating in three "Coach of the Year" honors while running men's program at the University of Pacific.
