Murphy Jensen Interview: The 1993 French Open & Knocking on Death’s Door

Murphy Jensen is the 1993 French Open doubles champion, tennis coach, cardiac arrest survivor, mental health advocate, keynote speaker, co-founder of WEconnect, TV host, and the most impactful guest we’ve ever had on the Doubles Only Podcast.

This episode is not about doubles. It’s far more important.

Murphy suffered from depression and addiction while on tour, considered taking his own life, and was saved by a hotel manager. Decades later he fell on the tennis court and didn’t breathe on his own for 18 minutes. Today, he lives in Austin, Texas, still plays tennis, and helps others suffering from mental health problems.

I hope you’ll listen and share this episode so Murphy’s message can reach as many people as possible.
