Inside the Life of a Wheelchair Tennis Pro

On this episode, Rob Shaw breaks down his latest US Open experience—from a dramatic three-set first-round win to a tough singles loss and the demands of doubles play with longtime partner Heath Davidson. He discusses the physical toll of a near year-round international schedule, the importance of mental resilience, and how pursuing a PhD helped him stay grounded as a full-time athlete. Rob also offers an inside look at the growing movement to integrate wheelchair tennis with ATP and WTA events, the need for equal access across divisions, and his hopes for the future of the sport. Along the way, he shares lessons in consistency, courage, and finding balance beyond competition.

Plus, The NHL Media Tour recently wrapped up in Las Vegas, where Canadian Blind Hockey’s Luca DeMontis promoted the sport and shared its story. He stops by the show to talk about his experience in Vegas and how NHL players and media responded to blind hockey.
