World #1 and Hall of Famer Ivan Lendl

World #1 and Hall of Famer Ivan Lendl

The Hall of Famer Ivan Lendl joined me for a tremendous chat, where we discussed men's tennis in length including breaking down the Rafa Nadal performance at Roland Garros. We talked about the players that he thinks could win majors moving forward, and how Iga Swiatek's doubles helped her win Roland Garros. We talked in length about Ivan's career, from his time as a junior in Czechoslovakia to the moment his topspin backhand became a reliable shot, to his domination of tennis in the mid 80's. We discussed the specs of his famous Adidas racquet and the origins of the iconic Argyle shirt.


Recorded 10/20, released 10/21.
