Serving Legend Eric Korita Talks Tennis with Craig Shapiro

Eric Korita grew up in Chicago and found his way to Nick Bolletierri's 1st academy, where he honed his craft and battled with Paul Annacone, Pablo Arraya, and Jimmy Arias, to name a few. He then went to SMU to play for the great Dennis Ralston, and then he made his mark on the pro tour. He is considered to be one of the legendary servers in the history of our sport, having been clocked at 153 in Tokyo, and clocked over 140 many times. He had deals with Prince and Sergio Tacchini, and was considered to be a major blue chip, hyper dangerous threat. We discussed his incredible life in tennis. Class is in session with one of the most interesting people in tennis.
