The guests to feature in the podcast include the likes of Patrick Mouratoglou, Martina Navratilova, Andy Roddick, and Rennae Stubbs.
In one of the recent episodes, former doubles grand slam winner Rennae Stubbs talks about how difficult it would be for a world-class athlete to step onto the court, every time, with huge expectations.
Also, the Australian criticized people who claim that Serena should retire from the sport as she is no longer winning slams.
Rennae Stubbs came out in support of Serena regarding retirement
“Until you’ve walked in her shoes for two decades as the greatest of all time, that every single time she walks on to the tennis court, she is supposed to win and deal with that pressure for two decades and you don’t think your nerves can be a little sharp, then you come and talk to me.”, said Rennae.

The former World No.1 doubles player made her stance quite clear in her support of Serena Williams as she issued a disclaimer stating that those who never walked in her shoes don’t have the right to decide her future.
“Because, there is no way anybody can ever, ever, say this is what you should be doing until you’ve walked in their shoes,” concluded the former player.
In every way, Serena Williams is the only decider of when she wants to quit the sport, irrespective of her winning another slam. From the effort she puts in all her matches, it’s quite clear that the competitive fire is still burning for the 23-time major champion.
