Tennis Talk with Steve Weissman featuring Taylor Townsend: The ever-popular Tennis Talk is back and better than ever! Tennis Channel’s Steve Weissman assumes hosting duties for the daily live talk show that will feature up-and-coming players on both Tours as well as other special guests on the Village Stage each day. On Wednesday come out at 12:30pm and get to know Taylor Townsend, one of the brightest young stars on the WTA Tour. The 22-year-old has had success in the desert in the past, as she claimed the 2018 Oracle Challenger Series Doubles title alongside partner Yanina Wickmayer. This year, she’ll be looking for her finest performance in Tennis Paradise yet!
