    BOT 229 – Craig Boynton – The Coach Behind the Beard

Craig Boynton, current coach of Polish standout Hubert Hurkacz, has been a consistent fixture on the ATP tour for the last 30 years. He is known for his coaching and development of such American players as Jim Courier, Mardy Fish, John Isner, Sam Querrey, Stevie Johnson, Jack Sock and Donald Young, Jr. He may be even better known for the massive beard he sports that makes him so identifiable in courtside player boxes.
