Summary
Louise Pleming was just six when she started playing tennis. But out in the country with no-one but her siblings to play against, her main opponent was a wall. Louise would go on to play at major opens, win doubles titles, train elite players like Jelena Dokic and become a Grand Slam commentator. But another major point in her life came in a kitchen serving food to people experiencing homelessness. It was an experience that would see her create a new way forward with tennis, using it to connect people from all walks of life, break down barriers and improve mental wellbeing. Guest: Louise Pleming, Grand Slam commentator, tennis coach and former professional player. She is also the co-founder of Rally4Ever.
