The Sit-Down with John Fitzgerald

Who better to sit down with during a Davis Cup week than John Fitzgerald, a member of two winning Australian teams in the 1980s, who later captained Australia to the 2003 title? Fitzy joins Viv and Matt to reflect on those incredible memories, plus his glittering doubles career that saw him rise to world No.1 and win all four Grand Slam titles. He's encouraged by Australia's continued success on the doubles court — most recently Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson's US Open triumph and Matt Ebden and John Peers’ Olympic gold at the Paris 2024 Games. Fitzy also recalls his own Olympic experiences of 1988 and 1992, the friendships he formed out of successful doubles partnerships, and his excitement at the current generation of rising stars.
