James Blake was once the #4 tennis player in the world and #1 in America. He beat Federer and Nadal. But what’s most amazing is that he played his best tennis after breaking his neck in a freak injury and contracting shingles and losing his dad—all in one year. He’s tough, smart (Harvard), humble, and cool. And the best Black male player since Arthur Ashe. I interviewed him at the tennis club where I grew up, Sportsmen’s Tennis Club in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in front of a few hundred people. James is an amazing person. It’s really interesting to see how he thinks. This interview took place in 2018.Toure Show Ep 36: James Blake-I Beat FedererOriginal Air Date: July 4, 2018   Learn more about your ad choices.
