Patrick McEnroe continues November's theme of mental toughness with an insightful interview with Hall of Famer and 14-time major champion Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario. Arantxa returned to Newport this summer for the Induction Celebration, and discusses her incredible career, emphasizing her unwavering fighting spirit and strong mental game. A champion in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles, she shares the keys to her success across all three formats, including her exceptional physical condition, tenacity, and discipline. The conversation dives into the moment her life "changed completely": winning her first major - Roland-Garros - at just 17 years old by defeating Stefanie Graf in an epic final. She reveals the pressures she faced as an underdog, and the inner desire and confidence that drove her to become a pioneer for Spanish tennis. Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario is a former world No. 1 in both singles and doubles, winner of 14 major titles across all three disciplines and a five-time Billie Jean King Cup champion for Spain.
