Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 20 ratings
  • Terrible host

    The male host is one of the worst interviewers I’ve ever heard. His questions are so shallow and facile. And his constant “I guess” and “like” being repeated over and over are mind numbing.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Todd Woodbridge (Part 2): “I wanted to be better at Wimbledon than Roland Garros”
Q: Can you describe your toughest matchup and what made it so difficult?
Andre Agassi presented a unique challenge with his elite returning and clean ball striking; anything I gave him could be capitalized upon, which required me to adjust tactics and stay mentally sharp.
Todd Woodbridge (Part 2): “I wanted to be better at Wimbledon than Roland Garros”
Q: What was it like winning Wimbledon for the first time, and how did it change your perspective for the rest of your career?
Winning in 1993 validated that we could compete with the era's big names and gave us confidence to pursue repeat success. It also highlighted the need to defend mental energy and adapt to pressure year after year.
Todd Woodbridge (Part 2): “I wanted to be better at Wimbledon than Roland Garros”
Q: Todd, what inspired you to chase a game that could succeed on grass, and how did that influence your development?
I watched Wimbledon at night as a kid, and the dream of playing there on grass drove me to move to Canberra and pursue a serve-and-volley style that suited fast grass courts. It shaped my training and mindset, making grass the priority surface.
Todd Woodbridge (Part 1): records, recollections, and a legacy beyond tennis
Q: Tell us about how it all began and how you got your start in tennis?

Mirra Andreeva: meeting a teen phenom
Q: You've made a big leap in a short time, reaching high levels by age 17. How would you describe the change in your game and your approach to matches?
I've become more aggressive and clear about what I want on court, focusing on building points and finishing them decisively, which marks a natural upgrade in my on-court demeanor as I matured.
