On the latest episode of Cracked Interviews, American tennis player Noah Rubin joins the podcast to discuss the dynamic between the #NextGenAmerican players, the grind of the ATP season, expectations for 2018, and gives an inside scoop on some of his sponsors.

Rubin was recently featured in our #NextGen🇺🇸.

Bio: Born in Long Island, NY, grew up playing at John McEnroe Tennis Academy, allegedly nicknamed “Noah’s Ark”, 21 years old, a very generous 5’9” 150 lbs, attended Wake Forest for a year, Live ranking of #215

Gamestyle: Dangerously severe western forehand grip, surprisingly flat backhand, Darren Sproles-type quickness, shot selection gets defensive, but that’s more a product of his height than him being passive, have never seen him quit on a ball. Stands on the baseline to try and take balls early rather than play 12 ft behind the baseline. Surprisingly stout serve.

Social Media Presence: Likes people to know he works out, disturbing desire for Asics/Uomo sporting gear/Voss Water/Simply Gum/Head Racquets, always stays on brand.
