Vijay Amritraj: Using Sport as a Force for Good

Vijay Amritraj is one of India's most successful tennis players. He's also the only person in history to play a match at Wimbledon in the morning, and end up in James Bond movie in the afternoon.


In this episode, Vijay and Chris discuss how he overcame significant health issues to become a professional player, his experiences as a representative of India on the international stage, and of course, his role in the 1983 James Bond flick Octopussy.


During his extensive career as a top-20 player, Vijay broke barriers and popularized tennis across more than half the world’s population throughout the Asian continent. Following his fruitful tennis career, he became an actor, commentator, and most notably, humanitarian, through his role as United Nations Messenger of Peace (2001-06) and through The Vijay Amritraj Foundation.
