BOT 241 – The Maurice Hunter Biopic
On January 1st, 2022, we were privileged to cover an annual Pete Brown Jr. Tennis Program event in Los Angeles called "The First." Named after the day of the year the event occurs; several categories of players compete for championships at Harvard Park. On this day, we met and interviewed Black tennis legend Maurice "Mo" Hunter and were enlightened by his tournament and tour experience. Unfortunately, later that year on October 17th, Maurice passed. Fast forward a couple of years and his sister Cherisse Wilson Goedhart is moving full steam ahead with a biopic on Maurice's life called "Paving the Road to Gold." The biopic will chronical Maurice's journey from poverty to prominence on the court. The film is set to begin production in 2025 and will highlight Maurice's determination, perseverance and talent on the tennis court. In this episode we get to chat with Cherisse and another producer on the film Janie Bradford (famed Motown songwriter). They share details on the motivation for and progress on this anticipated film. Listen in as we plan to follow this production closely and help share Maurice's impact and his message. As an update, in 2024 Maurice Hunter has been inducted into the 2024 ITF Hall of Fame, and as the 2024 Regional Legend in the Black Tennis Hall of Fame.

BOT 240 – Special Guest – Will Boucek
A benefit of being onsite at tournaments is the opportunity to meet individuals we wouldn't normally meet. Such is the case with this guest, Will Boucek. He is a doubles strategist that has worked with some of the best players in the world. We met Will a couple of years ago in Indian Wells and have always wanted to have him on the show. Doubles is the form of tennis most of us play recreationally, but why does it get such limited exposure on the professional level. Listen in as Will answers this question and addresses other key doubles topics. Watch More Doubles!
