Tennis legends and Hall of Famers will share their personal narratives reflecting the themes of tenacity, boldness, independence, tradition, dedication, leadership, mental toughness, and sportsmanship.
Today’s debut episode focuses on the theme of tenacity, featuring two compelling tales from Hall of Famers Pete Sampras and Hana Mandlíková. Hear their insights during critical junctures of their careers: Mandlíková’s stunning victory at the 1985 US Open against top seeds Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, and Sampras’ relentless quarterfinal showdown against Alex Corretja on his path to the 1996 US Open crown.
“We can’t wait to present our audience with fresh insights straight from the legends on what embodies tennis,” said McEnroe. “Each episode promises not only to spotlight key moments but also to inspire listeners to unearth the deeper wisdom the sport imparts.”
“Chris and I are eager to share these remarkable stories with tennis enthusiasts everywhere.”
