Host Patrick McEnroe caught up with newly appointed Laver Cup Team World Vice Captain and Hall of Famer Pat Rafter in Melbourne. On site at the Australian Open, the pair wasted no time delving into January's subject of tenacity, and how digging deep played a massive role in some of Rafter's biggest moments on court.McEnroe and Rafter discuss how Rafter's serve-and-volley style of play required incredible work ethic, and how he succeeded at the US Open with back-to-back titles in 1997 and 1998. He discusses competing and reaching the finals at Wimbledon twice, and is candid on the role nerves played in his matches against fellow Hall of Famers Pete Sampras and Goran Ivanisevic. Finally, Rafter and McEnroe reflect on the evolution of the game and its physicality, Rafter's new role with Laver Cup, and the honor of being a Hall of Famer.Pat Rafter is a three-time major champion and former ATP world No. 1. He remains the most recent man to reach the semifinals or better of ever major tournament in both singles and doubles.

The TennisWorthy Podcast revisits Season 2 to close the year, featuring some of our favorite topics and legends.Today we're focusing on the psychology of tennis, which is not solely about psychology, but about dealing with pressure, keeping emotions at the right level, and generally looking after a player's mental health, which is becoming a more high-profile topic given the ultra-competitive nature of the current professional tennis world. The idea of players using psychologists has really only come in over the past 30 to 40 years. Five Hall of Famers, including Jim Courier, Conchita Martinez, Margaret Court, Patrick Rafter and Esther Vergeer, share their methods for mental fortitude and how they adapted to pressure on court.For more information on the TennisWorthy Podcast and full episode transcriptions, visit tennisfame.com/podcast.

Sam Newman, Mike Sheahan and Don Scott - 'You Cannot Be Serious'

Patrick Michael Rafter (born 28 December 1972) is an Australian former world No. 1 tennis player. He reached the top Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) singles ranking on 26 July 1999. His career highlights include consecutive US Open titles in 1997 and 1998, consecutive runner-up appearances at Wimbledon in 200 and 2001, winning the 1999 Australian Open men's doubles tournament alongside Jonas Bjorkman, and winning two singles and two doubles ATP Masters titles. He became the first man in the Open Era to win Canada Masters, Cincinnati Masters and the US Open in the same year, which he achieved in 1998; this achievement has been dubbed the American Summer Slam. To date, only two players have followed this feat: Andy Roddick in 2003, and Rafael Nadal in 2013. Rafter is the third man in the Open Era to reach semifinals or better of every Grand Slam tournament in both singles and doubles, after Rod Laver and Stefan Edberg, and remains the last man to date to accomplish this. Rafter is also the only player to remain undefeated against Roger Federer with at least three meetings, though the meetings took place early in Federer's career. He is also the only player with a winning record over the Swiss on all the three main surfaces: hard clay and grass.

Pat Rafter is one of Australia's greatest ever tennis players, but despite his great success on court he reveals his failings still keep him awake at night. Rafter talks about how his love for tennis and the Australian Open has grown as he went from a boy from the country idolizing Newcombe and Roach, to an icon of not only his country, but his sport. The Moment: 2001 Australian Open Semi-Final vs Andre Agassi. It was one of the hottest matches Melbourne has put on offer, and unfortunately for Pat, it would be his undoing as he was learning about a chronic health issue that would ultimately lead to his retirement. While he was visibly suffering on court, Rafter never once thought about quitting the match and that is why this match took him from a star to a legend.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Imagine this… You're on a business retreat and as part of the “surprise & delight” culture, you're being driven to an undisclosed location for your next activity. You arrive at a local swimming pool where you are taken into a classroom and you begin to learn about the physiology and biology of breathing, the impact that is has on the performance and function of our physical body.  You're shown how different breathing methods influence the amount of oxygen in your blood, how many breaths you can take and how simply changing the way you breath using different techniques can change the way you feel in your body.  The next thing we are in the pool, practicing various breathing techniques as we swim from one side to the other with a single breath, elevating our heart rates and then doing it again experiencing that feeling in your chest, of the pressure building, of so desperately wanting to take a breath but pushing through…. I continue to progressively push myself physically out of my comfort zone over the course of a few hours – to the point that if I was a surfer, I could survive a wipe out. What was happening right there in that pool, was that I was being shown how with the use of my breathe, my mindset and practiced techniques, I could continue to push myself beyond what I would have previously considered my physical limits, and to demonstrate to myself that I am capable of more than I thought, with the right tools.   This whole experience was led by today's guest, Nam Baldwin. I was fascinated by this session and the work that Nam does, and how he has translated his experience of working with elite athletes to working with some our top business executives.   Nam has an impressive client list that includes, Mick Fanning, Steph Gilmore, Pat Rafter, AFL's Richmond Tigers, NRL's Sydney Roosters plus Olympic Athletes and World Champions. And he's also the best kept secret of some of our top 1% business leaders…  Nam has a gift for simplifying the complicated science behind brain and body performance, & delivering it in life-changing, digestible sessions, creating proven successes and powerful outcomes across all scenarios. In today's episode we get into: How the techniques that he taught us in the pool translate into the boardroom The power of the breath and why such a simple thing can be so powerful His definition of performance and why it's not about going harder for longer Why a foundation of personal wellbeing is so important for our own performance Managing good stress and bad stress As well as How our own sense of identity and purpose contributes to our overall wellbeing, resilience, and prioritisation of what's important Nam has a way of explaining things in a way that make sense and you can take away and implement into your daily life.  NAM Baldwin  Website Melissa Marsden Instagram | LinkedIn | Facebook | Website | Work Life Lounge

The only ever meeting between Pete Sampras and Roger Federer came at Wimbledon in 2001, when Sampras was a 7-time champion in the twilight of his career, and Federer was an emerging talent who hadn’t yet fulfilled his potential.Looking back now, it can be seen as a changing of the guard moment, with Federer prevailing in five sets. Is that how it was covered at the time? In what way did Federer grow as a tennis player on that day? And why did it take him another two years to win his first Grand Slam title?We speak to Paul Annacone, who was on Sampras’ team at the time and would go on to coach Federer a decade later, about how aware he and Pete were of the challenge a young Federer might pose on that day, and how they felt during the match.

SPECIAL EPISODE - Lisa Sthalekar on leadership on and off the field

Lisa Sthalekar is a former Australian cricketer and is on the boards of the Chappell Foundation and the Federation of International Cricketers' Assocations. In this special episode to celebrate International Women's Day and the T20 Women's Cricket World Cup, Lisa talks about how leadership in sports translates to the wider world, what she admires in a leader, changing the inherent bias in cricket language and the growing diversity of the sport. [01:02] How did you become a world class cricketer? What’s your story? Born in India, Lisa was adopted by a white English mother and an Indian father. Lisa said that when she was young she followed her Dad around everywhere, and cricket happened to be one of his passions so she was naturally drawn to the sport. Growing up going to cricket games at the SCG, Lisa quickly developed a deep curiosity but soon realised the barriers that existed around girls playing cricket in Australia. It wasn’t until Lisa was around 10 that her dad spoke to the local boys team and asked if she could play with them, and while they were hesitant about a girl playing for an all boys club this is where she did end up playing and this is where her passion for the game was developed. [03:09] Did you believe this was the norm that only boys could play cricket? Unbeknownst to the world of women’s cricketing Lisa learned through motivation by both herself and her parents that there were a number of opportunities for her to progress in Australian cricket, however, she also knew she had to get out of her comfort zone in order to do so.  [04:31] Was the idea of Cricket as a career unthinkable growing up? Even following her retirement in 2013, Lisa was unsure what her next steps would be. Throughout her career, Lisa was juggling both full time work, training commitments and taking leave when she went on tours for cricket Australia. While Lisa was consistently one of the highest paid women Cricketers throughout her career, the economy of women’s cricket didn’t allow for total focus, however, Lisa notes that seven years on from her retirement some women are getting paid triple figures and opportunities are growing.  [05:31] What do you think being a leader of sports team and being a leader in the business world have in common? Lisa believes that a leader, regardless of whether they are in business or on a sporting team, have a clear goal and can communicate with large, varying groups of people on how to achieve this goal. Finding a common goal amongst a group of people and using your passion to extract this from them is difficult, but essential in becoming a good leader. [06:57] Can you give us some examples of how the language used in women’s sport is changing to fit the more inclusive and progressive nature of sports nowadays? Being a commentator Lisa understands that the history of many sports, including cricket, has been dominated by male players, announcers and terminology. However, she’s noticing that with a change in opportunity, people around the game are beginning to understand the importance of using gender-neutral terms. For example, batsman into batter, or man of the match into player of the match. Lisa believes this is important as it teaches the youth watching that there is this opportunity for women to participate and succeed. Lisa also believes it’s the role of the commentator as the first line of reception for these young kids to be the pioneers of this change.  [10:29] Who are some great leaders you’ve admired? Former New South Wales and Australia Cricket Captain, Belinda Clark was deeply influential for Lisa as she was an instrumental leader throughout nearly her entire professional career. Lisa believed that Belinda was passionate and showed time and time again what it took to come back from adversity and get better following defeat. She said that her ability to understand her team and adjust her leadership style gave her the longevity and capability to lead both the veterans and the younger players throughout her career.[13:09] Where do you think this growth around women’s participation in all aspects of sports is coming from? Speaking on the progression of the cricketing world, Lisa understands the traditionalist view of men being the dominant participants and commentators of cricket on the world stage. During the 2010’s Lisa recognises the Indian Premier League as a league that acknowledged the potential audience they could reach if they included more women commentary and participation on the world stage. This quickly transitioned into other markets in England and Australia. Not only does Lisa believe the inclusion of women opens up more of the game to a wider audience but it freshens up a sport that was deeply rooted in old models of equality.  [15:55] What’s happening at the grassroots level of women’s participation in cricket?  Lisa believes that the exposure women’s cricket is getting on TV has contributed to this change in participation for cricket youth. Lisa also recognises that by exposing young girls to this level of professionalism, they’re motivated to press the competitive nature of the game and progress the talent level and commitment based on opportunity. [16:58] With this change, what do you see happening with women and sport in the broader context over the next few years? Lisa understands that further progression of not only women’s cricket but women’s sport in Australia will rely on the level of viewership the game receives. Cricket Australia has given the women’s sport exposure and the next step will be the league positioning itself to increase sponsorship, contracts and investments in development.  [18:31] With the I.C.C Women’s T20 World Cup being held in Australia this year and the final taking place in Melbourne on International Women’s Day, the event is aiming to break the world record for the largest audience at a standalone women’s sporting match. What would it mean globally if this was achieved? Lisa hopes and believes this event will be like many other historic Australian sporting moments, likening it to Kathy Freeman winning gold in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, everybody will stop and recognise this occasion as a landmark. The resources and engagement the I.C.C and organising committee have placed on the event reassures Lisa that the opportunity’s and environment being established for the younger generations of women cricketers is one that will sustain and permeate.  Key Learnings   A leader has clear goals and a clear direction on how to get there and they have the ability to communicate with their team understanding that everybody receives and reacts to motivation differently. A crucial aspect of being a good leader is your ability to adapt your leadership style over time and predicated by the community or person you’re trying to lead.  In exposing young women to the professional and growing opportunity for women cricketers this is creating a more competitive pool of talent in the grassroots competitions.  Women athletes understand their responsibility as public figures and their roles as models for younger women.  One of the key determinants of women’s exposure and growth on the national stage is an increase in viewership.   Quotable Quotes “So there is this passion, this love that is festering underneath everything. You've got to kind of use that to an advantage. Leaders of sport are able to enhance or extract that from everyone else.” - Lisa Sthalekar “They're not in the back pages for the wrong reasons. They're not on the front pages, for the wrong reasons, they're there because of what they've done, their skill, their athleticism. I'd like to think in the next 5 to 10 years that female athletes start to dominate this country because we have been dominating for a long period of time but now it's our time to shine.” – Lisa Sthalekar on women athletes as role models.  “It's going to be one of those moments. Firstly, if we just break it down to Australian sports, where was I when Cathy Freeman won gold? Where was I when Pat Rafter was playing Wimbledon final? Those types of moments in sport that you go, oh, I know exactly what I was doing, where I was.” – Lisa Sthalekar  Resources and Links  If you would like to gain knowledge in governance, and develop as a director in your industry or field, visit https://aicd.companydirectors.com.au/.

LISTEN TO GRAEME AGARS TALK WITH D'ARCY AND GORAN ABOVERoger Federer has been sent spiralling out of the US Open in the fourth round after a stunning charge from Aussie John Millman took their match 3-6 7-5 7-6 7-6.The 29-year-old fought hard to bring the World No. 2 to a tiebreak in the third and fourth sets after a tense tug of war kept locals out of bed late into the night.The victory was Millman's first against a top 10 player. He was also the first Australian to defeat Federer in a grand slam match since Pat Rafter in 1999.The tiebreak went back and forth until Millman found a chink in Federer's armour at 8-7 and forced the Swiss great into an error down the line. Federer was forced to sweat as the humid New York conditions and an unusually inconsistent serve took their toll.The two stars continued to trade games into the third set until Federer broke away and finally sealed a break at 4-2. But Millman was made of tougher stuff than that.After looking to have dropped the set into the 37-year-old's hands, the Aussie blasted back with a break of his own to even the fourth out at 4-4.Federer served his way through a comfortable game to make it 6-5 but a strong ace from Millman in the following game sealed another tiebreaker.The Swiss maestro was caught off guard in the very first game of the match as Australia's last man standing squeezed his way to break point. But a searing ace allowed Federer to survive as he ran away with the first set 6-3.Millman found some gas in the second set, pinning Federer to the wall in a marathon second game. The 20-time grand slam champion missed 19 of 22 first serve attempts and was forced to defend seven break point opportunities in a 14-minute epic.Fans noted the amount of sweat on Federer's shirt after the colossal game, with some labelling it is his worst service display in years.Millman missed the opportunity at an early break and Federer looked to make him pay.But despite leading 5-3 and then 5-4 40-15, he couldn't put the Aussie away and Millman reeled off three consecutive games to pinch the second set 7-5 and square the match.The fighting performance continued early in the third as Millman defended a break point to hold serve in the opening game. He worked his way to a 2-1 lead but a love service game from Federer evened out the equation.Millman hit back and won his seventh of the past nine games to bring it to 3-2. The tug-of-war continued as each player dominated their respective service games to bring the third set to a tense tiebreak.Before the match, Federer had a word of encouragement for Millman, who has practised with him in Switzefland."He's just come to Switzerland to train with me before the grass-court season so we know each other quite well. (He's) a super friendly guy, and I'm very happy for him that he's gotten so far."But now I'll try to stop him, so we'll see how it goes."Millman said the Swiss star was "always someone he looked up to" before their fourth round clash.Federer could have been forgiven for looking ahead to the quarterfinals, where nemesis Novak Djokovic awaits.It would be their earliest meeting in a Grand Slam since 2007, when Federer defeated Djokovic to reach the Australian Open quarters.
