Glenn Greenwald from Brazil on Rio 2016 Beyond The Baseline: SI's Tennis Podcast with Jon Wertheim

On this week's episode, host Jon Wertheim talks with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald. A former lawyer, leading investigative journalist and tennis fan, Greenwald joins the podcast from his home near Rio de Janiero, Brazil, where he has lived for the past 11 years.

Greenwald discusses the upcoming Rio 2016 Olympics, his interest in tennis, why he enjoys watching the WTA a little bit more than the ATP and more about his fondness of the sport. As a journalist with The Intercept, Greenwald discusses whether he would like to cover and write about tennis, what he thinks about corruption, such as doping and match-fixing, and conflicts of interest in the sport. Wertheim and Greenwald also talk about the role and popularity of tennis in Brazil, as compared to other sports.
