Israeli Davis Cupper Gilad Bloom Talks Tennis With Craig Shapiro

Israeli Davis Cupper Gilad Bloom Talks Tennis With Craig Shapiro

Gilad Bloom has lived an incredible life in tennis.


He grew up outside of Tel Aviv, Israel, and was an elite junior. He carried the torch for Israel's National Team in both the Davis Cup and The Olympics from 1984-1995, and posted wins over many great players including Jimmy Connors, Marcelo Rios, and Peter Korda.


In 1990 he made a run to the 4th round of The US OPEN, and got to his best ranking, 61. We talked a lot about The US Open, and why its atmosphere is so unique. We talked about how he likes to watch tennis on the side courts and see what is happening on the practice court, as there are a lot of lessons for everyone.


He has resided in New York City since 2000 and has a boutique tennis program and a rock band.
