The Voice of the USTA Pro Circuit Mike Cation: Living His Childhood Dream And Being The Signature Sound of the Challengers

Tennis Channel Inside-In

Play-by-play broadcaster Mike Cation joins the podcast to discuss his role as the sole voice of the USTA Pro Circuit, the tour where many young hopefuls get their start in pro tennis. Cation explains why he was drawn to the sport at such a young age, how he became intertwined with the Challenger Tour, and details some of his favorite and funniest memories from his ten years in the booth. The commentator averages 30 matches per week on site, and Cation maps out what a typical day in the office is for the hardest working person in all of tennis.

You won't want to miss this interview where Cation lists the special qualities that Ben Shelton, Jannik Sinner and Nick Kyrgios had during the start of their tennis journeys, or how valuable the respect of his peers like Chris Eubanks is to the announcer. Cation also laments on the excitement he feels for the opportunity to call matches at the Australian Open, and why he's thrilled to continue this role as long as the sport will have him. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
