While the tennis world shifted its attention toward Novak Djokovic and his quest for the calendar slam at the 2021 US Open, our guest this week not only achieved this historic feat, but she went one step further as she became the first tennis player since 1988, and the very first in the sport of wheelchair tennis to achieve the "golden slam." Dutch wheelchair great, Diede de Groot is a living legend at 24 years old and is certainly a future Hall of Fame inductee. Come join the discussion as host Jon Guerrica gets to know the woman that has achieved 24 grand slam titles, the #1 ranking and the Tokyo Paralympic gold medal. Listen as we hear Diede's early beginnings in the sport, her thoughts on its evolution. and hear how she was ultimately able to manage and defeat the stress and pressure of the 2021 season and write her name in the history books.

There have been few players in tennis history as consistent and humble as our guest, Amy Frazier proved to be throughout her long career. With longevity comes records, such as the distinction of having spent 18 conservative years in the top 100 (the longest ever continuous span by a female player who wasn’t able to reach the top 10 - she made it to #13) OR having made 71 grand slam appearances - including 20 straight US Open events (a record before Venus Williams made this her latest achievement). Amy’s stellar career included 8 WTA titles, 30 wins against top 10 champions including: Navratilova, Henin, Hingis and Seles as well as being the official WTA trivia answer to the question “who was the last player to ever play legend, Steffi Graf before her sudden retirement?” Join host Jon Guerrica as we spotlight a career of a player that wasn’t fully recognized for what she was able to achieve during her amazing flat groundstroke striking career.

As we enter the 2nd week of the 2021 US Open, I can't help but think back to some of the classic quarterfinal matches in US Open history. One particular run stands out in my memory, as it made the entire tennis world BELIEVE that a spunky teenager from Marietta, Georgia could be the new Cinderella of American tennis.

You'll hear stories that you've never heard before in this honest, and at times vulnerable look at how Melanie climbed all the way to the top #30 in the world.
