Tennis player Emilio Nava on being raised by two Olympians - and training with Carlos Alcaraz

The US Open tennis tournament is underway in New York City -
where some of the biggest stars, like defending champions Jannik
Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka are aiming for the year's final Grand
Slam.


But there are plenty of players who are looking for their next
big breakthrough, too. Enter 23-year-old American Emilio Nava,
son of parents who met at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul and enters
the event at a career-high world number 101.


The Southern California native joins host Nick McCarvel to
discuss what it was like to be raised by not one but two
Olympians, then discusses what he took from four years of
training in Spain under the eye of former world No.1 Juan Carlos
Ferrero - and alongside Carlos Alcaraz.


While Nava would like to finally break into the world's top 100,
he doesn't want to stop there: "My goals and my dreams are
definitely a little bit bigger than that," he told us. One of
them? To compete at LA 2028 for Team USA. "That's the absolute
goal," he said of what would be a home Games for him - right
where he grew up.
