Advice from Legends

It was Andre Agassi who in the early days of his relationship with Steffi Graf said, "You can always learn from a champion," but what can you learn? We've tended to end our podcast interviews with a question about what advice the legend would give both to tennis playing youngsters and to tennis parents. And there were a few themes that ran through the answers. Hear from the Hall of Famers and legends from Season 1 on what you can take from them onto the court, into your career, and beyond. 1:42 - Lleyton Hewitt2:24 - David Hall4:15 - Pam Shriver5:41 - Stan Smith6:54 - Ivan Lendl8:17 - Mary Pierce11:57 - John Newcombe15:24 - Vijay Amritraj Season 2 of the TennisWorthy Podcast begins on January 11, 2024.

TennisWorthy, a podcast presented by the International Tennis Hall of Fame and hosted by Patrick McEnroe, seeks to answer these questions and uncover what it takes to become the greatest of champions. These wide-reaching conversations go beyond on-court results, and reveal the mindset of the sport’s legends. Hear from Hall of Famers and legends of the sport on what it takes to set yourself apart.
