In this episode of the TennisWorthy podcast, Chris Bowers sits down with Lloyd, a major single, an Australian Open singles finalist, to discuss what separates a "good" player from a "great" one.

He reveals the mindset of a true champion, the desire to win, and the lessons learned from his own career. Hear candid stories about his family's immersion in tennis and his biggest career regret. It's a fascinating conversation about what it truly takes to make it to the top, and lessons worth sharing.
