Kamau Murray is joined by the best tennis player in Hollywood, actor & producer Boris Kodjoe. A former tennis prodigy, Kodjoe recalls how he discovered the game growing up in Germany, and how he credits the sport for providing him his life as a TV star in the United States. The "Station 19" TV star discusses what it was like meeting Boris Becker as a youth, the advice he offers to Frances Tiafoe & other athletes, and which current talents he thinks are destined to win major championships.
And Kodjoe also explains why it was important to create the Love All Scholarship Program in conjunction with Tennis Channel, which provides young African American tennis players an opportunity to attend the prestigious Mouratoglou Academy in France.
