Join us for our First Live Show in London!

Control the Controllables is coming to London! We´re hosting our first LIVE SHOW on Friday 19th April 2024. Join CTC Host Dan Kiernan and special guests as they debate one of the hottest topics in tennis right now: Is the new ‘Elite Tour’ good for tennis? The new tour being proposed by the Grand Slams would see only the top 96 players compete in a reduced number of tournaments for an exponential rise in prize money. Join us at Tileyard in London, as we discuss the biggest potential shake up we've ever seen in tennis, and what it means for those of us working in the sport. Our amazing panel on the night will be:- John Morris - Tennis super-agent at the heart of these discussions Freddie Nielsen - 2012 Wimbledon doubles champion and Danish Davis Cup captain Gaby Dabrowski - 2023 US Open champion and WTA Board Member Calvin Betton - ATP doubles coach If you can’t join us in person, don’t worry, you can still follow online live on the night and ask your questions directly to Dan and the panel.
