Todd Woodbridge isn’t a doubles tennis player, Todd Woodbridge isn’t a singles tennis player... Todd Woodbridge is a tennis person. Growing up watching Australian icons take the court, he dreamt of one day representing his country and holding up the trophy at Wimbledon. Not only did he go on to hold that trophy up multiple times, he went on to be one of the icons he once idolized.

You can feel the passion and love Todd has for tennis every time he opens his mouth to talk about an issue, whether it be doubles tennis, the growth of the Australian Open, or stars like Nick Kyrgios. 

The Moment:
For most people, losing one half of arguably the greatest doubles team in history would set them back. That wasn’t the case for Todd Woodbridge. After the retirement of his partner Mark Woodforde, Todd looked for a new partner to take on the tennis world and that came in the form of Swedish player, Jonas Bjorkman.

Heading into the 2001 Australian Open, no one knew if Todd could take his new team to the top of the mountain, but he and Jonas soon silenced any doubters.
