McEnroe and tennis journalist Chris Bowers will deliver engaging talks focusing on eight core values ​​in sport and discussions reliving key moments in tennis history.

Hall of Famers and other legends of the game will share personal stories surrounding the themes of perseverance, courage, independence, tradition, dedication, leadership, mental toughness and sportsmanship.

Today’s inaugural episode focuses on January’s theme of perseverance, sharing two revealing stories from Hall of Famers Pete Sampras and Hana Mandlíková. Both legends reveal their mindsets during two critical moments in their careers: Mandlíková’s 1985 US Open title, when she defeated top seeds Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, and Sampras’ gutsy quarterfinal victory over Alex Corretja , en route to the 1996 US Open title.

“We’re excited to bring our audience fresh perspectives, straight from the legends themselves, on the values ​​that define tennis,” said McEnroe. “Each episode will not only highlight key moments, but also inspire listeners to appreciate the deeper lessons that sport has to offer.

“Chris and I are excited to bring these stories to tennis fans around the world.”

Later in January, McEnroe will bring insightful conversations to listeners from Melbourne before focusing on the bold and back-to-back careers of Hall of Famers Arthur Ashe and Althea Gibson in February.

Launching in 2022, the TennisWorthy Podcast aims to engage both avid tennis fans and newcomers alike, offering insights that resonate beyond the court. These engaging conversations reveal what sets someone apart on the road to being a champion and reveal the mindset, habits and relationships that led them to the top.
