Katrina Adams's new book is called Own the Arena: Getting Ahead, Making a Difference, and Succeeding as the Only One. As a former player, coach, and commentator, and as the first African American to serve as president of the USTA, she has a unique perspective on the world of professional tennis. She talks about the importance of giving proper credit to Althea Gibson and many other Black tennis pioneers, why tennis is one of the best sports to help youngsters succeed off the court, how players should think about life after retirement, what the USTA can teach other national federations and other sports, the underrated brilliance of Lori McNeil, and what she likes about the Dutch.
