Mary Carillo helped crack open a door for generations of women in sports. In this TennisWorthy episode, Mary reflects on the mentors who believed in her, including Hall of Famer Bud Collins, and the opportunities that took her beyond tennis into other sports and around the world. Her career helped show what was possible for women who wanted to tell the stories of the games they love.

In 2026, that career and lasting impact will be honored as Mary is inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in the Contributor category.
