After celebrating the Class of 2020 announcement during the Australian Open in Melbourne, Goran Ivanišević and Conchita Martínez sat down to explain what it means to them to become a Hall of Famer. 

GORAN IVANIŠEVIĆ

"I was a little bit speechless. It's probably the biggest and greatest honor for any sportsman. My tennis journey started 41 years ago in Split, and it's going to end in Newport. I cannot say it too many times, but this time I'm really proud of myself for achievements I've made in tennis."

CONCHITA MARTÍNEZ

"It’s a great honor to be a part of the Hall of Fame. To have your name among these amazing other champions and friends for me is just an unbelievable feeling."
