She remembered the first time she took a set off her father, Tony, and her own short playing career, of which a Mixed Doubles title alongside John McEnroe at the 1977 French Open was the apogee. She even sprinkled in a short catalog poem, working her way through the professional tennis pantheon in rhyming couplets. “Venus and Serena, in every arena / Rafa and Roger, and Novak, the dislodger…”</p><p>“But here’s the thing,” Carillo continued, striking a more serious note. “Some of their best memories are mine, too.” </p></div></div></div><div class="single_postColumnSidebar__ZZuJF"></div></div></main><div></div></div></div>
