Jon Wertheim

If you follow tennis, you know Jon Wertheim's voice by heart. He is the guy holding court at the analyst desk on Tennis Channel, filing deep-dive investigative stories for 60 Minutes, and churning out sharp copy for Sports Illustrated. With a law degree in his back pocket and decades of Grand Slam access, he built a rep as one of the sharpest analytical minds in modern sports journalism.

He climbed straight through the ranks from junior reporter to executive editor, turning out bestsellers like Scorecasting along the way. Even when off-air banter accidentally leaked onto live feeds and landed him in hot water, Wertheim owned up fast. He's back in the broadcast booth and press row where he's lived for nearly thirty years.
