This week's guest is Patrick McEnroe, who joined Viv and Matt in the studio during AO 2025 for a wide-ranging chat about his unique tennis career. The Australian Open is his favourite event, the tournament where he broke through for his first Slam singles semifinal in 1991 and also reached that year's doubles final. He also upset Boris Becker en route to the fourth round in 1995, making Melbourne Park the happiest of hunting grounds. Since his playing days McEnroe became the longest-serving US Davis Cup captain, remains a veteran tennis broadcaster and is now president of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, giving him an incredible perspective on the sport. McEnroe also describes his experience of coming up behind older brother John, a legend of the sport with whom Patrick combined to win his first ATP doubles final, and also encountered across the net in his first singles final.
