    Taylor Townsend's coach, John Williams, joins us on this week's pod - which comes right before the US Open. Townsend is into the top 50 and has just reached a WTA 1000-level Quarter-final for the first time. John tells us all about the improvements made; how motherhood has helped Taylor understand her body better; and disagrees with Mark about on-court coaching - oh, and they also discuss why there's very little collaboration between coaches on Tour - is it because everyone is trying to hide something...or nothing?
