The Movie Star and the Tennis Star
Description
Alexandra Stevenson and Hugues Laverdière take on the movie star and the tennis star. They discuss how tennis can cross over in a big way globally to bring about a huge tennis star. They agree that the men including Alcaraz, Sinner, Shelton, Tiafoe, Paul - have chances to become tennis' cultural phenomenon - but they say that the women are totally lacking in any one person to have a movie star career. Alexandra says it may be a generational thing - unlike the 1980s and 1990s when big girl power tennis could make a huge star. Ougi and Alexandra discuss the tragic look of the Girls' 12s' serve technique. Alexandra went to the national tournament in Greensboro, North Carolina - and said she was appalled by the lack of serve prowess amongst the girls. Newsy notes has Eminem overtaking Taylor Swift for number one album today. Alexandra gives the podcast quote to Kamala Harris, the potential Democratic candidate for President..."I'm the luckiest person on earth."
