On Episode 347 of The Tennis Files Podcast, I spoke with Vince Van Patten about how he defeated John McEnroe, winning with confidence, and his poker adventures.

Vince is a former #26 ATP singles ranking and #24 doubles ranking. He reached the 3rd round of the US Open and Wimbledon in singles, and the Quarterfinals of the French Open in doubles. He defeated John McEnroe and two other top ten players en route to winning the Seiko World Super Tennis tournament. Vince is also a famous actor and the voice of the World Poker Tour.

On the show, you’ll learn about singles and doubles strategies, advice on how to pick a doubles partner, how Vince transitioned from acting to tennis, his tennis pre match preparations and routines, and much more!
