Legendary coach Paul Annacone joins us to discuss a number of topics including coaching American player Taylor Fritz, what he learnt from working with Pete Sampras, Tim Henman and Roger Federer, his work on the Tennis Channel and how the life lessons he wrote in his book 'Coaching for Life' are really coming in useful at the moment.

As well as hearing from Paul, we also re-live the moment, almost a year to the day, when Fabio Fognini won the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters title.

First came the Australian giants Lew Hoad, Ken Rosewall, Roy Emerson, Margaret Court and Rod Laver, then the electricity of Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, the athleticism and power of Pete Sampras, Steffi Graf and their countless rivals before the entrance of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams who together took title-winning standards to a whole new level. This year Djokovic has achieved a feat many considered out of reach in equalling Margaret Court’s record 24 singles major titles, but do titles alone define Greatness, or are there other factors at play when we go in search of the Goat – the Greatest of All Time? 
 How should the Greatest be judged? Success? Substance? Style? Celebrity? Presenter Seb Lauzier is joined for a two-part special by esteemed tennis journalist and author of biographies on both Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, Chris Bowers and WTA player turned tennis commentator and reporter, Jill Craybas tpo discuss and debate those very questions.
