Steve SmithHOST
I think that's interesting.
Steve SmithHOST
I don't know the exact details on how much that was changed, but it didn't work out when he was working with Todd Martin.
Steve SmithHOST
But, you know, he, he was exploratory.
Steve SmithHOST
He tried different things, and he def- definitely had problems with his service motion.
Greg RusedskiHOST
So all these scenarios.
Greg RusedskiHOST
Then I've had other times where I've played Todd Martin to get to the quarters, two sets to love, 5-3 serving for the match, dropping my serve and losing in five.
Greg RusedskiHOST
So we've all had that awful experience, and this is where your coaching team, your parents, everybody sits down with you, and you find solutions.
Greg RusedskiHOST
The better coaches will sit down with the player a day afterwards or two days afterwards, reflect and find a way to deal with that situation so it doesn't happen again.
Wade KellerHOST
He joined in and talked about what it was like to be in the building last night.
Wade KellerHOST
And Todd Martin and Rich Van and I did a post-All Out roundtable that lasted nearly two hours.
Wade KellerHOST
We did over a half hour at the beginning just on Brian Danielson and Adam Cole.
Wade KellerHOST
And we got into CM Punk.

U.S. Open night matches in tennis are, I mean, just, it goes back to, like, I remember the early 90s when, like, Pete Sampras would be playing Todd Martin.
Graham CouchHOST
Jimmy Connors, dude.
Graham CouchHOST
Oh, yeah, that run.
Graham CouchHOST
He looked ancient.
Graham CouchHOST
He looked like he'd been through it.
Graham CouchHOST
But, you know, and like Todd Martin was from Lansing, and so that was such a big deal when he started to come onto the scene and he'd have these night matches in the early 90s with Sampras.
Graham CouchHOST
And lose.
Graham CouchHOST
It always is.

Also, you know, I'm meeting... todd martin is an extremely balanced guy he went to college i'm also meeting jim curry or andre agassi you know later in their lives right so they've they've they've leveled out a little bit on this stuff my whole point is man none of them none of them they all have some trauma associated with tennis and their childhood.
Michael KostaHOST
Some more than others.
Michael KostaHOST
I even have a little bit of trauma with my childhood and tennis because there was always a feeling that I wasn't doing enough or if I did a lot, I felt like I missed something.

Michael KostaHOST
By the way, I was also reminded at the induction hall that he had an awful year.
Michael KostaHOST
where he tried to change his serve.
Michael KostaHOST
I think Todd Martin was his coach.
Michael KostaHOST
He tried to change his serve, and it got all fucked up, and he was averaging like one or two double faults a game.

Pete Sampras was in the final in 2000.

But it wasn't just Sampras and Aggies.

And you can see on our screen we have a really super special guest today, Todd Martin, who's the chief executive here at the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

But before Todd was a chief executive, he once was a very good junior tennis player from a town in the Midwest.
Bill MountfordHOST
He was a top college player in the country.

Bill MountfordHOST
Uh, as you know, I worked at the LTA with Brad Gilbert, and Brad Gilbert once told me that he had never seen a top player look, and he said this with absolutely the utmost respect for you, by the way, so don't misinterpret what I'm about to say.
Bill MountfordHOST
He said he'd never seen a top player look so nervous in the warm-up against Agassi.
Bill MountfordHOST
He said, you know, Mar- you know, 'cause Todd Martin hits a clean ball.
Bill MountfordHOST
Todd couldn't even keep the ball in play in warm-up.
