Mike Cation Interview

Hello and welcome back to the Irish Tennis Updates Podcast. This week I’m delighted to be chatting to Mike Cation. Mike is a legend of pro tennis commentary, working primarily on ATP Challenger level tennis on the USTA Pro Circuit. And he’s also worked at the Australian and US Opens. We talk about where this started for Mike, what he loves about the job and some of his best memories. In the second half of the episode, we talk about Mike’s experiences and memories of some of the best Irish players of recent years, including McGee, O’Hare, Cluskey and Sam Barry. I loved this chance to get a new perspective on these players and hear Mike’s stories. And here’s some links to check out!
