🎾 What Happened to American Tennis? | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges
Once upon a time, American tennis ruled the world—McEnroe was yelling, Connors was winning, and Sampras had the smoothest serve this side of Wimbledon. Now? Let’s just say… pickleball might be giving tennis a run for its money.
In this nostalgic and thought-provoking episode of Just Wondering, legendary broadcaster Norm Hitzges dives deep into “The Decline of American Tennis.” From the glory days of packed stadiums and national pride to today’s dwindling spotlight, Norm breaks down how—and why—tennis slipped from the American sports throne.
