About this episode
Happy Thursday and welcome back to Word on the Street!
This week we’re chatting to 2026 Irish Open champion Conor Gannon after an extraordinary summer that’s seen him go from grinding on the road to lifting his first pro title at home in Carrickmines — as an unseeded player, and the first Irish winner since 2018.
Conor explains how hard Futures tennis really is, how a win over Bernard Tomic flipped his belief, and why Dublin events matter so much for Irish players.
Plus: the relief of serving it out in front of family and friends, Davis Cup pride, and the big next goal — Grand Slam qualifying.
Word On The Street is on Off The Ball with Braeburn Coffee.
