Pam Shriver: Capitalizing on Strengths in a Power Pairing

Pam Shriver was half of an unstoppable team alongside Martina Navratilova during her playing career. In today's episode of the TennisWorthy podcast, Pam talks about that partnership, and how she was uniquely positioned from a young age to capitalize on her natural gifts. Pam lifts the curtain on what made her teamwork with Martina so unique, and candidly talks about the relationship with her coach, Don Candy, that she revealed in 2022. She also reveals some of her favorite memories competing for the United States, how it naturally ties in with her birthday.

Together, Pam and Martina amassed 74 doubles titles, 20 of which were Grand Slams. Their partnership included a 109-match win streak from 1983-85. As a singles player, Pam reached six major semifinals, the final of the 1978 US Open, and a career-high ranking of No. 3 in the world.
