After 40 years as a sports reporter, Garry Richardson says his greatest moment was interviewing Bill Clinton.

It was when rain stopped play during the 2001 ladies’ final at Wimbledon and Richardson had been asked to fill time.

Realising the former US president, was in the royal box, he sent a note asking for a chat and Clinton agreed to give him 15 minutes live on air about matters of international importance, such as whether Tim Henman would ever get past the semi-finals.

There was one question that Richardson now says he considered but dropped: “Mr President, we’ve spoken about Venus and Serena and we’ve spoken about Martina. Can we now talk about Monica?”

Wisely, he decided this would have been game, set and match for his career and so we never heard Clinton’s opinion on the Seles backhand.
