[vc_empty_space height="35px"]On the eve of the 2021 US Open, Racquet brought together four of the biggest names in tennis to discuss the issues of the day. Joining us were reigning US Open Champion Naomi Osaka; tennis legend and activist Billie Jean King; the most entertaining man in tennis, Nick Kyrgios; and Mardy Fish, former US #1 and star of the upcoming Netflix documentary Untold: Breaking Point. The conversation was intimate, engaging and at times emotional, touching on topics ranging from mental health and the demands of the media circuit to the debate around toughest opponents and crowning the greatest player of all time.
