They revisit their years on the circuit: the intense training, the competitiveness, and the loneliness of tennis. Francesca also shares her 2019 cancer diagnosis, how her discipline as an athlete helped her through chemotherapy, and the role her family, wife, and close friend Flavia Pennetta played in her recovery. Today, Schiavone is fully active in the game, running her Schiavone Team Lab academy near Milan and coaching 18-year-old one-handed backhand talent Lilli Tagger, who she believes has Grand Slam potential. Kim also discusses her Roland Garros favorites for 2026, making a strong case for why Rybakina belongs in the conversation alongside Sabalenka and Coco Gauff. She breaks down Ben Shelton's serve variety and why it's becoming a weapon even on clay, and reacts to a 19-year-old qualifier stunning everyone at her very first WTA tour event. Welcome to Love All!
