Episode Notes
In the second part of our interview with Todd Woodbridge, we focus on the Australian legend’s Wimbledon memories and milestones. The storied tournament is where Woodbridge achieved some of his greatest career highlights, from winning the 1993 men’s doubles title – the first of five in a row with Mark Woodforde – to triumphing in nine of 10 men's doubles finals, plus reaching the singles semifinals in 1997. The fact he thrived at the All England Club is a testament to the power of a dream, former as a child when he would watch Wimbledon on the TV at night in front of the heater during the Australian winter. In other nuggets from this chat, we hear how he played his first main-draw singles match on Centre Court in 1988, beat Pete Sampras in the American great’s Wimbledon debut in 1989, and scored a rare triple bagel in qualifying in 2001.
