Jonas BjörkmanEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

Todd Woodbridge jumps into the hosting chair to chat to doubles-rival-turned-partner — and long-time friend — Jonas Bjorkman. The Swede was a star in both singles and doubles, rising as high as No.4 in singles shortly after reaching the 1997 US Open semifinals, and peaking at No.1 in the tandem game, winning a total of nine Grand Slam doubles titles. Five of those came with Woodbridge in a fruitful period from 2001-2004, during which the pair claimed three consecutive Wimbledon trophies as well as the Australian Open 2001 crown in just their second tournament together. Bjorkman has since transitioned to a successful post-tennis career, something Woodbridge revealed has inspired and shaped his own journey after retiring from playing. iHeart Spotify Apple Podcasts PodLink Host handles: @Viv_Christie @MattyAT See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
