From her start playing paddle tennis on the streets of Harlem as a young teenager to her eleven Grand Slam tennis wins to her professional golf career, Althea Gibson became the most famous black sportswoman of the mid-twentieth century. In her unprecedented athletic career, she was the first African American to win titles at the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. In this comprehensive biography, Ashley Brown narrates the public career and private struggles of Althea Gibson (1927-2003). Based on extensive archival work and oral histories, Serving Herself: The Life and Times of Althea Gibson (Oxford UP, 2023) sets Gibson's life and choices against the backdrop of the Great Migration, Jim Crow racism, the integration of American sports, the civil rights movement, the Cold War, and second wave feminism. Throughout her life Gibson continuously negotiated the expectations of her supporters and adversaries, including her patrons in the black-led American Tennis Association, the white-led United States Lawn Tennis Association, and the media, particularly the Black press and community's expectations that she selflessly serve as a representative of her race.  An incredibly talented, ultra-competitive, and not always likeable athlete, Gibson wanted to be treated as an individual first and foremost, not as a member of a specific race or gender. She was reluctant to speak openly about the indignities and prejudices she navigated as an African American woman, though she faced numerous institutional and societal barriers in achieving her goals. She frequently bucked conventional norms of femininity and put her career ahead of romantic relationships, making her personal life the subject of constant scrutiny and rumors. Despite her major wins and international recognition, including a ticker tape parade in New York City and the covers of Sports Illustrated and Time, Gibson endeavored to find commercial sponsorship and permanent economic stability. Committed to self-sufficiency, she pivoted from the elite amateur tennis circuit to State Department-sponsored goodwill tours, attempts to find success as a singer and Hollywood actress, the professional golf circuit, a tour with the Harlem Globetrotters and her own professional tennis tour, coaching, teaching children at tennis clinics, and a stint as New Jersey Athletics Commissioner. As she struggled to support herself in old age, she was left with disappointment, recounting her past achievements decades before female tennis players were able to garner substantial earnings. A compelling life and times portrait, Serving Herself offers a revealing look at the rise and fall of a fiercely independent trailblazer who satisfied her own needs and simultaneously set a pathbreaking course for Black athletes.

Michael Horwitz shares his passion for tennis, especially playing on grass courts at the historic Longwood Cricket Club in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. He talks about how tennis has become a big part of his family's life, with everyone—from his wife and children to in-laws—getting involved in the sport. Michael describes the unique feel and challenges of playing on grass compared to hard or clay courts, and reveals how he hopes to one day participate in Longwood's prestigious 90-and-over tournament. He recounts memorable moments, including playing in a national father-daughter tournament and traveling to famous events like Wimbledon and the French Open.

Marco Trungelliti, born January 31, 1990, in Santiago del Estero, Argentina, grew up in a tennis-loving family and turned pro in 2008, specializing in singles with a career-high ATP ranking of #112 (March 4, 2019) and doubles #174 (April 1, 2013). He has earned over $2.1 million in prize money, competing mainly on the ATP Challenger Tour, securing 6 Challenger singles titles, and making notable Grand Slam appearances, including a stunning upset over top-10 player Marin Čilić at the 2016 French Open. His most famous story came in 2018 at the French Open, where he drove 10 hours from Barcelona with his mother and 89-year-old grandmother to compete as a lucky loser after initially losing in qualifiers—an anecdote that highlights his determination and family bond. In 2015, Marco became a whistleblower, reporting match-fixing attempts that led to bans for three Argentine players, facing death threats but standing firm for integrity in tennis. Now residing in Ordino, Andorra, as a father to a young son, Marco emphasizes work-life balance, cherishing family time—like emotional trips to Rwanda with his mother—and viewing fatherhood as a grounding force that provides perspective on losses and fuels his passion for the sport. His advocacy for fair play and mentoring young players focus on resilience, ethical values, and enjoying the journey beyond wins.ParentShift course 30% off with the code TRIBE.

Our 2025 season wrap-up episode is here. Friend of the pod Tumaini Carayol joins us to go through some of the news that broke since we were last on – Christopher Eubanks announcing his retirement and Jannik Sinner winning in Turin again. We look back at the Grand Slams and share our highlights from each one. There were some memorable matches as well as moments at all of them, but it feels like the French Open topped the lot. Madison Keys, Coco Gauff, Jasmine Paolini, Taylor Townsend, Naomi Osaka, Ben Shelton, Gabriel Diallo and Arthur Fils (before injury) all had great seasons. Victoria Mboko's incredible ascent up the rankings was really something to witness. So was Félix Auger-Aliassime's resurgence. We close with what we're looking forward to next year and some outlandish takes for 2026. (PS: studio time was running short, apologies!) Thanks for tapping in with us this year, we appreciate you all.

A revered name in modern Australian tennis, Casey Dellacqua is universally admired for her on-court achievements, commentary insights and humility through success. The West Australian-turned-Sydneysider played eight Grand Slam finals through her peak, claiming the French Open mixed doubles title in 2011. A famous partnership with Ash Barty delivered finals at all four Slams, but her name first went up in lights after a defeat of Amelie Mauresmo and a fourth-round run at AO 2008. Her singles career is oft underappreciated; Dellacqua progressed to at least the third round at every major. The former world No.26 stepped into Pod Lover Arena to tell Matt and Viv about the moment that flipped her career "on its head", victories she claimed through periods of physical and emotional turmoil and her current life with the "best job in the world".Listen to the full episode here.

Chanda Rubin – From Carencro to World Tennis Stardom This special episode of Discover Lafayette features an archival interview with Lafayette's own Chanda Rubin, one of the greatest athletes to emerge from our community. Originally recorded in 2014 for Upper Lafayette on the Move, this conversation revisits Chanda's remarkable journey—from a young girl learning to hit tennis balls against a chain-link fence in her family's backyard to becoming a top-ten player in the world. Growing up in Carencro, Chanda was inspired by her parents, Judge Ed Rubin and Bernadette Rubin, who built a tennis court behind their home. What began as family recreation soon revealed Chanda's natural talent and determination. By age seven, she was competing in tournaments; by her early teens, she was winning national titles. Her first tournament at Thomas Park may have ended in defeat, but it lit the fire that propelled her forward. Balancing her education at Episcopal School of Acadiana (ESA) with a burgeoning professional tennis career, Chanda turned pro at just fifteen. Despite traveling the world, she remained committed to academics—so much so that she skipped the French Open to graduate from high school with her class. Later, after retiring from professional tennis, Chanda earned her degree from Harvard University, embodying her lifelong belief in perseverance and education. Rubin is a member of the Louisiana Tennis Hall of Fame and USTA's Southern Tennis Hall of Fame, and is a respected spokesperson for her sport locally and globally. Ranked as high as No. 6 in the world in singles in 1996, Chanda competed on the biggest stages, Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open, facing tennis legends such as Serena Williams, Steffi Graf, Monica Seles, and Martina Hingis. She is one of the few Louisiana natives to have made it on the pro tennis circuit. Her career was defined not just by victories, but by the resilience and focus that continue to shape her success today. Chanda Rubin is a member of the Louisiana Tennis Hall of Fame and USTA's Southern Tennis Hall of Fame. She captured a Grand Slam win in doubles at the Australian Open, as well as a Wimbledon Juniors singles crown at the age of 16. Chanda compiled a career singles record of 399-254 and was ranked as high as No. 6 in the world in April 1996. She ended her pro career in 2006, finishing with seven WTA singles titles and 10 doubles crowns. Chanda also served three terms on the USTA Board of Directors as an elite athlete representative and is a familiar face in tennis broadcasting, providing commentary at Grand Slam events. Chanda remains passionate about education, mentorship, and giving back to the community through motivational speaking and youth outreach. Her story reflects discipline, balance, and a deep appreciation for the lessons that sports and education impart.

Patrick McEnroe and Chris Bowers explore the vital quality of mental toughness with three of tennis' toughest competitors: Hall of Famers Jim Courier, Arantxa Sánchez Vicario, and Michael Chang.Former World No. 1 and 4-time major champion Jim Courier defines mental toughness as the ability to handle pressure and the capacity to compartmentalize and ignore the score, citing Rafael Nadal as a prime example. Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario, former world No. 1 in singles and doubles, emphasizes the importance of her strong physical condition and the desire to give my best and never give up.Chris Bowers then looks at Michael Chang's legendary 1989 French Open run, where he overcame extreme cramping and Ivan Lendl by refusing to be a quitter, demonstrating the unwavering mindset needed to win. Learn whether mental toughness is innate or can be developed, and how it separates the top players.The TennisWorthy Podcast is presented by the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

This is another celebratory episode in response to Coco Gauff's incredible run to the Wuhan title. “Big Coco, never the little one” won all of her matches in straight sets at the WTA 1000. It's the American's second crown of the year following her French Open triumph earlier this season. The 21-year-old world No 3 now has 11 singles titles to her name, including two majors and three WTA 1000s (and don't forget the year-end Finals title last year). Jasmine Paolini also did herself proud in Wuhan with a 6-1, 6-2 statement-victory over Iga Swiatek – a player she had never beaten before – in the quarter-finals. Paolini was beaten by eventual champion Gauff in a competitive semi-final. The Italian is now in Ningbo looking to secure a WTA Finals singles spot. To close we share our thoughts on the family affair in Shanghai – shout out to champion Valentin Vacherot and his runner-up cousin Arthur Rinderknech. We also ask why it's proving so difficult for guys to step up in the absence of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.” Don't forget to rate, review and share on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Audioboom.  For daily tennis updates:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackspinglobal Twitter:  https://twitter.com/BlackSpinGlobal TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@blackspinglobal GET OUR MERCH HERE: https://blackspinglobal.com/collections

‘It's very difficult to be private when you're trying to be the best player in the world'Tim Muffett speaks to tennis icon Bjorn Borg about life at the very top of the sport. Born in 1956 in the Swedish capital, Borg's lifelong association with tennis began when his father won a full-size racket at a local table tennis tournament, which he gave to the young Borg.By the age of 14, he had joined the professional tennis circuit, and just a few years later, had won the Italian Open at 17 and the French Open at just 18. Having risen to international prominence in 1975 when he helped Sweden win its first David Cup, Borg became a household name in the years that followed for his distinctive playing style that helped him win Wimbledon five times in a row.At the peak of his playing career, his on-court rivalry with the American John McEnroe became the stuff of legend, with the pair's 1980 Wimbledon final considered by many to be one of the greatest matches ever played. This was later immortalised in a 2017 movie.After unexpectedly retiring in 1983, Borg struggled with life after tennis, battling alcohol and drug abuse. He subsequently returned to the sport in the early 1990s for a couple of years before hanging up his professional tennis racket for good.In this interview, he discusses his journey to the very top of the sport, the challenges of stepping away, and his recent battle with prostate cancer.The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

This episode was recorded before NFL kickoff on Sunday, so Victory Monday for the Bears and Browns will have to wait. Andy is still licking his wounds from an ugly Illini loss to Indiana on Saturday night and wonders if winning out would still clinch a playoff spot. PJ is in high spirits after a Syracuse win in Death Valley and an early scouting trip to Bethpage on Saturday morning - only for the Jets to ruin everything again. We wrap up College Football Corner and discuss some wonderful coffee golf at the French Open (presented by FedEx) on Sunday. Michael Kim secured his first win since the 2018 John Deere Classic, edging out Elvis Smylie, Min Woo Lee, and Brooks Koepka. With Kim, Lee, and Koepka dropping in on the DP World Tour to great success, Brendan tries to draw some conclusions about where these fall fields stand overseas. Andy makes the case for a potential unification between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour that would have one points list and a stronger fall schedule. The LPGA had yet another unique result to uphold the streak - a cancelation of the tournament in Arkansas after 18 holes! Brendan has PJ share some scuttlebutt from the early merch preview at Bethpage, including some reporting about the famous sign - a favorite of Jason Garrett. In an actual bit of news, Rory McIlroy spoke with The Guardian and took his chance to pop Bryson DeChambeau ahead of a potential match this week. Rory also says he's "more confident" in a win for Europe now than he was when he made his guarantee in 2023. Andy and Brendan answer some listener questions about the Ryder Cup to close things out before traveling to the great state of New York for this week's festivities. Find our full Ryder Cup preview episode here on Wednesday night!

1974 was a banner year for Jimmy Connors… He entered three Grand Slams and won all three of them. He was ranked #1 in the world and was engaged to Chris Evert. Life was good. But in 1975, things didn't go quite as smoothly. His engagement to Chrissy was called off… and while he was still the most dominant player in the world, he failed to win a Grand Slam, losing in the finals at the Australian Open to John Newcombe, in the finals at Wimbledon to Arthur Ashe, and now in the finals of the US Open to Manual Orantes. Was this the beginning of the end for Connors? Hardly. He would win 5 of his Grand Slam titles starting in 1976 at the US Open where he would there again in '78, '82 & '83 as well as Wimbledon for a 2nd time in 1982. And who would forget his incredible run at the 1991 US Open at at the age of 39. Curry Kirkpatrick hasn't forgotten it. He was covering a good portion of Connors and Evert's careers back when they were the King & Queen of tennis for Sports Illustrated and gives us an inside look at what happened to Jimmy against Orantes in the finals of '75. A simple reason for the shocking win was the Spaniard was sensational on clay courts, and beginning in 1975, Forest Hills surface was clay for 3 years. Advantage Orantes. Curry also tells us what happened on the women's side of the draw as Chris Evert was beginning her dominance of tennis… Having won the French Open in 1974 & '75 as well as Wimbledon a year earlier, Evert added the US Open to her list of achievements… and it was the first of 6 US Open Titles in her storied career as she would win it again in '76, '77, '78, '80 & '82.  Two of tennis all-time greats were dominating tennis in the 70's and Curry was there for all of it and joins us on POP to tell us how Orantes almost didn't even get to the finals and how that loss by Connors was just a blip as he would continue to be a force in tennis for another 15 years! And he tells us how at age 16 “he invented” Chris Evert writing the first major story about her in SI before penning the final installment of her illustrious career in the late 80's when she retired from the sport. Nobody knows Connors and Evert from the mid 70's like Curry Kirkpatrick and he joins us for a record 5th time on the show to regale us with great stories of two of tennis' all-time greats… Jimmy and Chrissy… on the Past Our Prime podcast Learn more about your ad choices.

On deck: (6:32) It's time to overreact to what took place over the course of NFL Week 1. Are the Bills the class of the AFC? Is Aaron Rodgers turning back the clock? Have the Chiefs plight begun? How bad was the Ravens collapse in Buffalo last night? I'll answer all of that and then some as I'll recap the opening weekend. CORRECTION: I stated that the Falcons got out to a 10-0 lead in their game vs. Tampa Bay. That was not the case. I was wrong on that. My apologies for the blatant error. (31:08) Was there baseball played over the weekend? Of course there was, but you couldn't tell by the AL Wild Card race as it's literally status quo from the last time we saw it late last week. I'll also touch on the death of former Mets manager Davey Johnson who passed away at the age of 82. (42:22) College football had a couple of surprising upsets on Saturday, but it was Oklahoma QB John Mateer stealing the show from the Michigan as they topped the Wolverines in Norman, OK. (45:01) Carlos Alcaraz captures the rubber match of Grand Slam finals from rival, Jannik Sinner in 2025, and claiming the #1 men's player in the world after a convincing four set win. Aryna Sabalenka wins the women's side after coming close at the French Open and Wimbledon. (51:21) Sadly, another passing took place in sports as former Montreal Canadien and all time great goaltender, Ken Dryden dies at 78. And MUCH MORE in between.

The FBI is investigating top union officials tied to the NFLPA and MLBPA — and the fallout could reshape pro sports. In today's deep dive, we break down the OneTeam scandal and what it means for the future of players' rights and league power. But first: is pro tennis the most brutal sport on earth? Why are NBA fans protesting the Finals? Did the Steelers just tank their season by signing Aaron Rodgers? Women are finally rising into real leadership roles in the NFL. And a landmark court ruling could force Congress to act on college sports. Let's get into it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's word of the day is ‘answer' as in response as in Thunder as in NBA Finals as in Pacers as in SGA. Oklahoma City rolled in Game 2 like everyone thought they would. Heartbreak in Game 1, but this team knows how to respond. How about the NBA putting the logo on the court digitally? Were you a fan of that? (11:00) Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner played one of the best tennis matches you'll ever see in the French Open final. Amazing tennis. What a comeback. Couldn't believe my eyes.
