Tennis in the Wider World
Listen now
Description
The TennisWorthy Podcast revisits Season 1 ahead of Season 2's debut in January 2024, with 5 themed episodes featuring legends and Hall of Famers. One of the great things about tennis is that you can lose yourself in it, but for that very reason, all involved have to remember that tennis doesn't exist in a vacuum. It can be a force for good, but only if it engages in the bigger world. Sports operate in the context of the wider world, whether that's as a force for good or to take a backseat when more important things happen. In this episode, Hall of Famers Stan Smith, Lleyton Hewitt, Pam Shriver, Vijay Amritraj and Mats Wilander share their experiences with their sport colliding with the wider world.
