Author: Podium Media May 15, 2021 Duration: 55:51

The story of Wimbledon 2016 is synonymous with that of Marcus Willis. Coming through qualifiers to play Roger Federer on the Centre Court in the second round.

A spot on John's San Diego Aviators team followed, and the future looked bright.  Until now.

Marcus tells us the story of how he's had to quit tennis, after looking like he was finally breaking through.  Another fab episode.
