It's a special week as we are extremely happy to speak to our very first umpire on the podcast!

Sultan Gangji is a former umpire that has worked at some of the biggest tennis events in the world. He has umpired Wimbledon finals & has had the best seat in the stadium for many epic matches. 

Sampras, Agassi, Edberg, Graf, Seles, Becker, Courier & Borg are just a few of the players that he has worked alongside 🤩

We talk:

• Working at this years UK Pro League
• How umpiring has changed over the years
• Social gatherings after matches
• Wimbledon Finals
• Most memorable moment of his career

We have wanted to get an umpire on the podcast for quite some time now but have had trouble securing guests as current umpires are not able to do media/interviews - so to speak with Sultan (semi-retired) was a real treat 😃

Let us know what you think!
