International Tennis Hall of Fame CEO and former player Todd Martin joins Chris Bowers for a chat about the history of tennis, the Hall of Fame's relevance in today's game and how inductee's are awarded a place.

A special version of the podcast coming from the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island and featuring...LLEYTON HEWITT ON HIS INDUCTION INTO THE INTERNATIONAL TENNIS HALL OF FAME - ‘As a kid in Australia I'd wake up in the middle of the night to dream of playing on the courts that these guys would play on and now to be actually sitting alongside them in the Hall of Fame of our famous sport is pretty amazing and it's something that I don't think will sink in right at the moment, but certainly looking ahead and being called a Hall of Famer alongside those greats is something I'm very proud of'.ANDY RODDICK ON LLEYTON HEWITT - ‘He's probably the toughest competitor that I played against. That aside, when you define him just as a guy who hustled and made a lot of balls and was kind of intense about it all, actually does a disservice to what he did well. He was a master of trajectory, meaning he knew you couldn't hurt him crosscourt because he was so fast, so you needed to go line, but he became such an expert of keeping that ball low, most of the time it was below your hips, so you're having to attack to small parts of the court because he was able to shrink it with his speed, but also from places that were uncomfortable'.TODD MARTIN ON THE HALL OF FAME'S ENTRY CRITERIA - ‘As the sport evolves I think we have to consider uniqueness and many more data points than just were you best in those two weeks and were you best among the competition you had. Sometimes the competition might be different because Nadal's not the same player every year, so there's some year's where, if you're ahead of Nadal, that's more impressive than others'. ANDY MURRAY ON EXTENDING THE GRASS COURT SEASON - 'Obviously I like playing grass court tennis and I think the build-up to the grass season is too short. You know I think there should be a Masters Series on the grass ahead of Wimbledon, it'd be fair and my feeling is that the biggest tournaments should have a proper build up to them and I definitely think there should be a Masters Series at least on grass, so if that's only one week, so be it, but I think it should be there'. ALEXANDER BUBLIK ON LEARNING TO ENJOY TENNIS - ‘It's becoming less about the money and more about enjoying the game and I really honestly say I play now for the matches and the results. It's been like that now for a couple of months, so I'm happy with how I approach the game and how I'm enjoying it much more than in the past and it's nothing to do with the results, because the results have been horrible'. JASON KUBLER ON COMING THROUGH INJURY - ‘For me I feel when you do have a situation thrown at you that's not great, you can either hold onto it and feel sour about it, or try to move on and try not to have that sour feeling and hold onto it. Right now I'm trying to improve my mental side, improve my tennis, improve my fitness levels and try to get more comfortable at these bigger tournaments'.-Podcast & Interviews by Chris Bowers

Steve has also done a lot of work for Tennis Channel.  In 2017, Steve was elected to the International Tennis Hall of Fame in the Contributor category. We have had him on a couple times previously, and I think I must have caught him in a lapse of judgement when I asked him to collaborate with me going forward. That said, I am so thrilled Steve agreed to be a co-host with me. It is my privilege again to welcome back to the “Court-Side with Beilinson Tennis” pod, Steve Flink.

Todd Martin knows plenty about tennis having played professionally for more than a decade before coaching both juniors and pros. While the sport is familiar, there has been a lot to learn for Todd in his current role as CEO of the International Tennis Hall of Fame. In addition to the standard fare for a Hall of Fame of induction ceremonies and a museum, Todd is also charged with overseeing many other facets of their operations including a tennis club, an ATP tournament, event rentals and all business related to the Hall such as sponsorships and fundraising.  In this episode, Todd, a former President of the ATP Players Council, also provides his view of the current governance of the Tour and also shares what he considers to be an issue he battled as a player. 

Wick Simmons, former CEO of NASDAQ and Chairman of The Tennis Hall of Fame, Newport, Joins The Podcast Hardwick Simmons has been in the financial world for over 45 years. He's played tennis since the age of 8 and the first job he held was rolling courts at his beloved club in Marion, MA. He still plays tennis there at the club and remains active in finance and the business world. Just how did this Wall Street financier combine his work life with his love of tennis and help to bring the ATP to fruition and the WTA major growth? Find out as he joins the BTB Podcast. Wick Simmons, former CEO of NASDAQ and Prudential and Chairman of the Board at the International Tennis Hall of Fame, Newport, RI Wick, as he's better known in the industry, has run or been a part of executive searches for international firms including Prudential, NASDAQ, Shearson Lehman Brothers and American Express where he served as CEO or President, as well as Lionsgate Films and Groton School. But with tennis his first sport and love, he's also one of the leading search consultants in the tennis world and was in charge of the search for Newport's International Tennis Hall of Fame, where he also served as Chairman of the Board. Wick hired Todd Martin and both he and Todd have never looked back. Wick was there at the birth of the ATP Tour with friend and business associate Butch Buchholz. Wick later brought full sponsorship to the "fifth major" while he served as CEO of NASDAQ. Wick was also instrumental in the growth of the WTA, as personal friend Larry Scott asked for advice and support in 2003 when he ascended to CEO at the WTA. Together they added major sponsorship through the relationship with Sony Ericsson. A CEO's Secrets To Finding The Right Candidate In Tennis and Finance In terms of running a search in the tennis world, "it all starts with the quality of the pool of candidates, which is the hardest part," says Wick. "I think the key to any search is to find someone who culturally matches up with what you're representing. That fit is extremely important to start. That first year and a half or two years is what's critical, and if you've made the right fit, it doesn't always work perfectly, but nonetheless both sides find a way to make it work." Reflecting back on his tenure at the International Tennis Hall of Fame, Wick says there was an ulterior motive in hiring Todd Martin in 2014. "The Hall Of Fame really rests on the laurels of the members who are in it. At that time, what we didn't have was the support needed from the current handful of players. What the Hall needed was someone who could reach out to the younger, more current players. Wick has found a similar issue not only at the Hall of Fame, where he stepped down and said he wouldn't remain on the board after several years, but at clubs and major firms at which he has worked across the nation, either as a board member or consultant. "It's so often that clubs or organizations stick with leadership far longer than they should." He discusses how programming can get old, and that boards must look at themselves and re-evaluate the needs of the club and review often the administrative leadership. Hints For Today's Job Seekers "Find something you're really interested in and pay your dues at the start and see what doors open for you." Wick looks back at his career, proud of his work and the legacy he has left at some of Wall Street's major firms. Commenting on the past year, Wick believes Wall Street firms will return to a new normality with office hours back on the cards. Working from home all the time, he believes, creates issues and many have found it more difficult than we are realizing at this time. Harking back to JFK's "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country," Simmons points to the major difference between when he began his career in the workplace and today's millennials, looking to be hired.

"As an athlete you can't tell us when to stop, you can’t. You can’t because then we’ll always have these regrets and whatnot." Filled with anecdotes and wisdom, Lisa Raymond joins the show to give an update on her coaching and playing career, as well as react to her nomination for the International Tennis Hall of Fame Class of 2021. Raymond has been ranked No. 1 in the world in doubles and as high as No. 15 in singles. Though known mostly for her doubles success, she didn't focus only on a doubles-only career until her 30s. She explains how her life has been a collection of mini-careers from when she left the University of Florida in 1993, with a number of highs and lows, including a battle with her fitness.  The 47-year-old has won four WTA singles titles and a whopping 79 in doubles with a variety of partners including Samantha Stosur, Rennae Stubbs, Liezel Huber, Lindsay Davenport and Martina Navratilova. She has hoisted 11 Grand Slam trophies in women's doubles and mixed, and had a bronze medal placed around her neck in 2012. After playing what she thought was her last match at the 2015 US Open, Raymond made a seamless transition to coaching by joining Madison Keys' team. She prides herself on choosing to stop in her own time, instead of listening to those who felt she should have called it a career much earlier.  In 2019, the American began working with Allie Kiick, and she came out of retirement for an ITF W60 with more on-court appearances looming on the horizon.  Raymond is nominated for the Hall of Fame ballot alongside Lleyton Hewitt, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Sergi Bruguera and Jonas Bjorkman. Fan voting closed with Raymond finishing in second place, and the inductees will be announced in early 2021.  Watch TENNIS.com Podcast episodes on YouTube and Facebook.

#009 - As the former World Number 4, Todd Martin was a proud member of the golden club of American ATP stars in his nation’s tennis heyday: the 1990s. The self-described “Fifth Beatle” was in good company during that glorious era for the sport, as he sparred against compatriots Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Jim Courier and Michael Chang for what became that elusive Grand Slam title. To many, he was the ‘nearly man’, but to himself, the eight ATP tournament titles, the near misses and the two Grand Slam Final losses made him the person he is today. Michigan-born Martin is today CEO of the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Rhode Island, where he also serves as Tournament Director of the post-Wimbledon Dell Technologies Hall of Fame Open.With this, and his own eponymous Youth Leadership Trust helping underprivileged kids through tennis, Martin has, in his own words, led “a charmed life”. With all this already achieved in life, this 50-year-old and true gentleman of the sport has much more to accomplish in the years ahead.If you'd like to get the links and show notes for this episode, head to: http://bennichols.co.uk/the-fifth-beatle-with-todd-martin

On this episode we continue our series on the 50th anniversary of the Original 9, who came together on September 23rd in 1970 to sign a one dollar contract with promoter and World Tennis Magazine founder Gladys Heldman to form the first women's professional tour, a precursor to the WTA which would be formed three years later in 1973. Today, thanks to our friends at the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island, we are excited to share a wonderful radio interview with Gladys Heldman herself, which was done during her induction to the Hall of Fame in 1979. As Billie Jean King has said, “Without Gladys Heldman, there wouldn't be women's professional tennis. She was a passionate advocate for women tennis players and, as the driving force behind the start of the Virginia Slims Tour in 1970, she helped change the face of women's sports."

‘Addicted to Sets’ is a podcast covering the passions of tennis fans and players, co-hosted by avid tennis enthusiast Michelle Nipko and teaching pro Ryan Vega just outside of Austin, Texas. In its most recent episode, the podcast features Cliff Drysdale, International Tennis Hall of Fame legend and the longest serving broadcaster at ESPN. Cliff began by talking about how his broadcasting career started during a Davis Cup match between USA and South Africa. Tony Trabert could not be the commentator for this match as he had been the captain of the USA Davis Cup team. Cliff was thus asked if he could take Trabert’s place as he was also from South Africa and knew the players. This was forty years ago, and Cliff could have never imagined it would be the start of a pivot in his career. He went on to cover the US Open for CBS (“they thought it was awful!”). He was subsequently picked up by ESPN and WCT (“in those days, there was no cable”). Drysdale was on the job just one week after ESPN debuted for their first tennis telecast when Argentina took on USA at the 1979 Davis Cup in Memphis, Tennessee. Drysdale was one of the first players to introduce a two-handed backhand in professional competition. Though there were others, Drysdale counts himself as the first successful tennis player to have used this technique. He shares another unique aspect of the 1960s tennis scene: there were no coaches, masseurs, managers or psychologists. Among other topics, Cliff spoke about his experiences as the first ATP President, the recent bushfires in Australia, winners’ awards and prize moneys, the importance of big serves and muscle power in the game, Nick Kyrgios, the players to watch out for today in men’s and women’s tournaments, and more. Parting advice from Cliff Drysdale: “Be yourself. Go with the flow. Like a tennis player needs to trust his or her swing.”

"My memories are about: conflict and how I resolved those conflicts on the court, off the court, relationships that I built, the fun times in the hotels messing around, and friendships that I didn’t enter into the business thinking that I would leave with." This week's TENNIS.com Podcast episode features Todd Martin, a former world No. 4 and current CEO of the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Martin won eight ATP titles and appeared in two Grand Slam finals, but he cherishes the relationships and off-court memories the most. The American was a late bloomer, turning pro after two years at Northwestern, but he found his place amidst the Top 10 and as president of the ATP Council.  The 49-year-old thought he knew exactly what he wanted to do after retiring in 2006, but coaching was not the right fit despite working with the likes of Mardy Fish and Novak Djokovic. Instead, Martin jumped into business for himself, but couldn't refuse an offer from the Hall of Fame in 2014.  There's a lot in store for the Hall of Fame in 2020 and beyond, and Martin has the inside scoop on what it's like to work at the tennis' most precious museum. Martin explains how the inductees are decided, ahead of the Class of 2020 being announced on Jan. 28 (the candidates are Goran Ivanisevic, Conchita Martinez, Jonas Bjorkman and Sergi Bruguera).

For the past 50 years, the name "Stan Smith" has been seen on nearly every street in the world. Written on nearly 40 million pairs of the iconic Adidas-made sneakers. But perhaps more notable than the shoe is the man himself. Along with Arthur Ashe, Stan Smith is considered the essence of class who ushered in the open era, formed the ATP, and effectively created the tennis world that we know today. He came up under the tutelage of Pancho Segura. Then played for USC. And in 1971 he won the US Open. The following year he won Wimbledon. And the year after that, in an act of solidarity with other players, he boycotted the All England Club. He beat Laver, Nastasi, Connors, Newcomb and Ashe. And Jack Kramer put him in his book as one of the top 21 players of all time. Currently, he leads the tennis academy he cofounded, The Smith Stearns Academy, and is The President of The International Tennis Hall of Fame. Former World #1, STAN SMITH tells us why he thinks Coco Gauff is the real deal. He explains how he helped make the player's union as strong as their country's federations during The Cold War. And he tells the story of how the famous shoe came to be. We met up with Stan in Newport Rhode Island the weekend of the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. (Recorded July 21, 2019.

Welcome to Season 8 Episode 38 of the ParentingAces Podcast! In this week's episode, I sit down with veteran tennis journalist Joel Drucker to talk about this year's US Open Junior players and his thoughts on their future prospects in the college and pro game. According to his profile on the Tennis Channel website, Joel Drucker has been writing about tennis since 1982 for a variety of magazines and broadcast outlets. He has been part of Tennis Channel's team since the network stared airing in 2003, including work as story editor at all of the Grand Slam events, as well with various documentaries and special projects. Most recently, he was story editor-researcher for the network's "Barnstormers" documentary. In 2016, Joel was named a historian-at-large by the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Drucker’s tennis work spans the worlds of professional and recreational tennis – history, news, player profiles, psychology, instruction, travel, humor and participatory experiences. On the court, he has been berated by John McEnroe, hit with a ball by Jimmy Connors and beaten left-handed by Andy Roddick. I met Joel in 2007 during my first visit to the US Open. As we quickly discovered, Joel and my husband grew up together in Los Angeles and even attended the same junior high school! Joel and I have stayed in contact ever since, and he always has valuable insights to share when we see one another in New York each year. You can find Joel online here.

You probably know Tracy Austin is an International Tennis Hall of Famer, and a two time U.S. Open champion. She’s still the youngest person to win the U.S. Open, beating Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert when she was 16. She was winning professional tournaments before she was old enough to drive, and at the age of 17, she was the world’s number one ranked player. This week is the 39th anniversary of Tracy’s rise to that world number one ranking.Maybe what you don’t know is, only a few years after that, her brilliant career was cut short by multiple injuries, and effectively ended by a near-fatal car wreck. One moment her dream was still alive, the next, it was over. Her superstar career ended at an age where some careers were only starting.She thought she had years remaining to play at the top of her sport. It was supposed to be the big three of Austin, Evert, and Navratilova for years to come. For many people, this would have been enough to cause them to spiral out of control. Numerous celebrity child stars, when their careers ended, struggled with drugs, alcohol and the law. Not Tracy Austin. She didn’t give up, she didn’t take the easy way out, and she didn’t quit. She found the inner strength and discipline to carve out a new career path of broadcasting and inspirational speaking. It’s a path that keeps her involved in the sport she loves and allows her to support the people and causes that are important to her.Tracy and I talked for a few minutes, and I had a delightful time. She’s warm, funny, insightful, and very direct. When you listen to my podcast, you’ll ride the roller coaster of emotions with her. She’ll take you back to significant moments in her life; stunning the tennis world at the U.S. Open, becoming the world’s top-ranked player, and when the dream turned into a nightmare. She also has hard-earned advice for parents of young athletes. Tracy Austin, as a young girl, was an inspiration. All these years later, Tracy Austin is still inspiring people. All you have to do is listen.
