Gigi Fernandez: Determination and the Importance of Mindset: Gigi Fernandez is one of the most successful doubles players in the history of the WTA Tour, but before she became known for her doubles mastery, she was joining her family on court growing up in Puerto Rico. On the island, she carved a path to play through determination, eventually becoming a collegiate champion and turned professional. Following her playing career, she became a sought-after coach in both skills and mental toughness. In today's episode, she reveals insight on positive self-talk, improvements to make to your game, and her greatest achievements. Gigi Fernandez is a 17-time Grand Slam champion in doubles, which she captured alongside three different Hall of Famers. She is a two-time Olympic Gold medalist for the United States in doubles (1992, 1996), and owns 69 career doubles titles.

Pam Shriver: Capitalizing on Strengths in a Power Pairing: Pam Shriver was half of an unstoppable team alongside Martina Navratilova during her playing career. In today's episode of the TennisWorthy podcast, Pam talks about that partnership, and how she was uniquely positioned from a young age to capitalize on her natural gifts.

Gabriela Sabatini: Reflecting on Positives and Passions: Argentina's Gabriela Sabatini was a rising star as a junior, and she lived up to her early expectations. After becoming the youngest player to ever win the Orange Bowl (at age 13), she reached the semifinals of the French Open and the top 10 of the WTA rankings two years later. It wasn't all smooth sailing, though - her well-documented struggles with shyness made duties off the court difficult. Gaby credits working with a sport psychologist and the global exposure tennis gave her as helping her become more outgoing, and take her game to the next level. After reaching five major semifinals and the final of the US Open, she broke through with the 1990 US Open title over No. 1 Steffi Graf. She credits her depth of experience on the major stage, and adjustments she made with her coaches, for her victory. Gaby details her passions outside of tennis, including charity work, and shares her advice to aspiring players to by TennisWorthy
