Pat Rafter is one of Australia’s greatest ever tennis players, but despite his great success on court he reveals his failings still keep him awake at night.
Rafter talks about how his love for tennis and the Australian Open has grown as he went from a boy from the country idolizing Newcombe and Roach, to an icon of not only his country, but his sport.
The Moment:
2001 Australian Open Semi-Final vs Andre Agassi. It was one of the hottest matches Melbourne has put on offer, and unfortunately for Pat, it would be his undoing as he was learning about a chronic health issue that would ultimately lead to his retirement.
While he was visibly suffering on court, Rafter never once thought about quitting the match and that is why this match took him from a star to a legend.
