About this episode
Have you ever watched a professional tennis player and just instantly felt like you wanted to cheer them on? You can't exactly explain why, or how....but this person becomes a fabric of your daily routine as you check their scorelines, watch their matches on TV and visit tournaments to cheer them on in-person whenever you can. Today, host Jon Guerrica interviews a player that he called an instant favorite for over a decade on tour. Former NCAA champion, Olympian, WTA world #39 and the 2005 Wimbledon Serena-slayer, Jill Craybas joins Jon for an epic hour of fandom and stories from throughout a career that saw her compete until 39 years old and win 6 WTA titles over her decades-long pro career. They discuss the successful transition from on-court tennis to on-court commentating, beating former #1's like Jelena Jankovic, Kim Clijsters, and Serena Williams and of course, celebrating the art of tennis fandom. It's the 75th episode of Fantastic Tennis and it's a fun hour that puts the emphasis of FAN in FANtastic. Grab an almond milk cappuccino (Jill's favorite), sit down, and enjoy getting to know....the fantastic, Jill Craybas.
