In the latest episode of The Passing Shot, the tennis podcast by fans, Joel and Kim are joined by former professional tennis player Marcus Willis who has recently announced his retirement from the tour.

Marcus talks about his life in tennis so far, from his time spent on the Futures circuit to his career high at Wimbledon 2016 where he qualified for the Main Draw and ended up playing Roger Federer on Centre Court in the second round.

From the emotional high of that moment to the everyday struggles of tour life, Marcus talks through the highs and lows of his career, the challenges and changes on the tour and his plans for the future.
