The Art of the Post-Match Interview with Blair Henley


Listen Later

What’s actually going through an interviewer’s head during a 7-6 nail-biter in the third set? This week, tennis media powerhouse Blair Henley joins Andrea to break down the high-stakes art of the post-match interview and the "Plan A" philosophy she uses to get players to open up. We dive into the grit of the freelance hustle, the "shelf life" of being a woman on camera, and why she’s never afraid to walk through the door when a player gives an unexpected answer.

Blair also shares the hilarious chaos of her "fake it till you make it" origins, from being her own DJ on Court 17 to convincing the pros to race golf carts dressed as Mario Kart characters. Whether she’s building trust in the player dining room or asking about twerking skills on the ATP’s world feed, Blair’s "worst they can say is no" energy is a masterclass in showcasing the personalities that make us fall in love with the sport.
