The Movie Star and the Tennis Star
from SERVING ACES: Conversations with Alexandra Stevenson · host Bleav Network
Alexandra Stevenson and Hugues Laverdière take on the movie star and the tennis star. They discuss how tennis can cross over in a big way globally to bring about a huge tennis star. They agree that the men including Alcaraz, Sinner, Shelton, Tiafoe, Paul - have chances to become tennis' cultural phenomenon - but they say that the women are totally lacking in any one person to have a movie star career. Alexandra says it may be a generational thing - unlike the 1980s and 1990s when big girl power tennis could make a huge star. Ougi and Alexandra discuss the tragic look of the Girls' 12s' serve technique. Alexandra went to the national tournament in Greensboro, North Carolina - and said she was appalled by the lack of serve prowess amongst the girls. Newsy notes has Eminem overtaking Taylor Swift for number one album today.
