À propos de cet audio

 A narrative tennis podcast about the unfinished rivalry between Steffi Graf and Monica Seles. Using deep, obsessively researched storytelling, we follow their childhoods, parents, early tournaments, Grand Slam successes, the 1993 Hamburg stabbing, media pressure, and GOAT debates. For fans of women’s tennis, WTA history, 80s/90s tennis, Graf and Seles, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, and Serena Williams – and anyone who loves long-form sports stories, psychology, and what-if seasons.Josh Hughes

    Different Worlds
    Dec 16 2025

    In our debut episode, we rewind to the late 1960s and ’70s and drop in on two very different childhoods: Steffi Graf growing up in postwar West Germany and Monica Seles in socialist Yugoslavia. As women’s tennis explodes into the Open Era—with Billie Jean King, the “Original 9,” the Battle of the Sexes, and the Nikola Pilić boycott reshaping the sport—we trace how this new world of money, power, and politics quietly sets the stage for the Graf–Seles rivalry that would change tennis history.
