About this episode
Take a trip back to the "most exciting decade in tennis" - the 1970s - with former player and current commentator John Lloyd. 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. Lloyd shares his unique perspective as both a participant in the sport's open era and a ringside spectator, being married to one of the all-time greats, Chris Evert. 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. John Lloyd is a former British No. 1 player, 1977 Australian Open finalist and three-time major champion in mixed doubles. He captained the British Davis Cup team from 2006 to 2010, and commentates for BBC. He is the author of the best selling autobiography "Dear John".
