Steve Flink goes in good depth about what he learned from the writing of his newest book, The Immortals of American Tennis, and how the experience of selecting the most impactful legacies in American tennis brought him a new look on the greatest athletes, male and female, of the history of the sport in the United States.
Vansh asks questions that lead to reflection on the legacies of greats such as Serena Williams, Pete Sampras, Billi Jean King, and Jimmy Connors, and how it connects the present to the past for newer generations.
Flink hopes that his new book will make the younger tennis fans connect to the rich history of tennis in America, as well as refresh the older generations' memories of what was once a golden age of tennis for the North American sports giant.
