Victoria Azarenka debuted the second season of her Think About It podcast on Monday, and kicks things off in the first episode with entrepreneur David Grutman.

Grutman began as a popular restauranteur, owning multiple hot spots that make up Miami’s incredible night life, and talks to the former WTA world No. 1 about his desire to expand—into other regions and other industries.

The two bonded over their shared passion for tennis, a passion that Grutman developed during the 2020 lockdown.

“I took up tennis during COVID. I started hitting the ball with the trainer, and felt the topspin. Once you get passionate about something, it doesn’t seem like a battle because I’m so excited to go play.”

That love has come in handy as he had already partnered with Prince, and expressed a desire to rebuild the iconic tennis brand to its former glory.

“I thought what was cool about it was how it was a country club brand from my childhood: whether it was Agassi, or this one, that one, they all had Princes. I think there’s something about a heritage American brand that’s just iconic, and it’s been such a cool thing to see it come back to life.”
