About this listen
Before tennis in South Africa became a ghost serve, we had Amanda Coetzer — 1.58m of giant-slaying grit — and Wayne Ferreira, the forever dark horse who outlasted most of his rivals. This episode looks back at the era when South Africans actually showed up on tour… and won.
It’s part memory lane, part state-of-the-union — from Amanda’s wins over Hingis and Graf to Wayne’s marathon career (and hair!). Then we fast forward: what’s going on with Tennis SA today? Are rural kids even getting a shot at the baseline? What happened to Arthur Ashe Stadium in Soweto? Are we rising, or are we double-faulting as a nation?
🎙️ No guests. Just vibes, receipts, and a mic — and, yes, I’ll be watching this drop while sipping espresso at Roland Garros. Kusazoba mnandi! ☺️
🎾 Let’s get into it.
