Wertheim and Carillo first discuss her upcoming REAL SPORTS interview with Margaret Court in Australia, which will debut on the season premiere of the show on Jan. 30. During their conversation, Carillo addresses the question: when is a legacy safe? Carillo details her four-day visit and interview with Court, including her ministry and the fact that—despite her Hall of Fame career, record Grand Slam singles titles, and namesake arena in Melbourne, the third largest at the Australian Open—there are people who believe her name should be stripped from the arena because of her views as a Pentecostal minister, particularly about gay marriage.
