Behind the Racquet with Blair Henley
We go Behind the Racquet this week with presenter, commentator, personality, and fantastic human being Blair Henley to talk about the challenges of being a parent in the tennis media business, and finding the happy medium of social media presence versus wanting to have good time when we're away from the sport. It's not flipping easy!
On top of it, those of us in the Gen X/Y age want to know, how the heck does Blair stay on top of every trend!
And Blair and Mike also make their Wimby picks with the draws coming up within days!
