Hi, I’m Peter Bodo, and tennis is my beat. Has been for nearly five decades. I’ve been living inside a tennis “bubble” since long before the word acquired its current, health-related association. Now I’m here at Substack where, once again, I can address you directly and write, as a fellow ink-stained wretch once said, “Without fear or favor.” I will soon be posting analysis and commentary on many aspects of today/s high-octane professional game and its stars. After so many years in the trenches, I’m familiar to many of you. Most recently, I was a tennis columnist/reporter for ESPN.com. In previous incarnations I was a Senior Writer at Tennis Magazine, author of a number of books with, among others, Pete Sampras and Patrick McEnroe, and creator of the late, lamented blog from which this newsletter takes its name, Peter Bodo’s TennisWorld. Yes, TW will soon be back albeit in a different form, so buckle up and get ready for another wild ride!
