The Fretboard Journal Podcast welcomes its first professional athlete, tennis player / coach Murphy Jensen! Murphy and his brother Luke were considered the rock & roll duo of tennis during their heyday, eventually winning the French Open in 1993. Jensen tells us about his childhood growing up in Northern Michigan; his early love for rock & roll; his rise as a professional athlete; and why so many pro tennis players gravitate to the guitar. We also hear about the annual \\u201cWimbledon Jam;\\u201d Serena Williams\\u2019 love for Nirvana; the time Jensen brought Roger Federer to the Bowery Ballroom the night before his US Open match; working with Val McCallum and much more. Trust us, it\\u2019s a great guitar chat even if you don\\u2019t know anything about tennis. Jensen also talks to us about his new Seattle-based healthcare technology company, Weconnect.
