Summary
In 1983 Yannick Noah became the first French player to win at one of the biggest events on the tennis calendar, Roland-Garros. It wasn't all about sensational drop shots, ferocious serves or legendary backhands, it was about spirit. Noah wasn't only a star on the court but away from the game he maintained a successful music career playing in front of thousands, he stole hearts and above all made his mark on history. In this episode, Mark and Marcus highlight his impact on the sport as well as other standout players and Marcus gives his prediction on who he believes is favourite to win this year's competition. Every week, Mark Pougatch and Marcus Buckland unpack unbelievable stories from the world of sporting history.
