Another Rafa? Already?? You better believe it, and Mats says Rafa 2.0 may be a pretty tough customer at this year's French!

Mats Wilander doesn't just believe Rafael Khodar is the next Rafa — he's not surprised the 19-year-old could win the French Open. The Swedish legend, watching every clay court match for what he claims is 720 hours, sees in Khodar the same fearless, technically flawless, mentally unshakable profile that defined Rafael Nadal at the same age. Wilander draws direct parallels between Khodar and Yannick Sinner, noting both have evolved their games under elite coaching — particularly Sinner’s transformation under Darren Cahill, whose technical influence is now evident in Sinner’s dominant serve. As Sinner dominates on all surfaces and Alcaraz is sidelined, Wilander argues the path to Roland Garros is clearer than ever. But even with Djokovic’s return and a potential deep run, Wilander insists the real story is the emergence of a new generation — one where the next Nadal isn’t just possible, he’s already here. The episode also unpacks the quiet dominance of Scotty Scheffler in golf, the mental game of TikTok method training, and the looming crisis in college tennis due to international player overrepresentation.
