Everyone knows Brad Gilbert. The former player and coach, and current ESPN analyst, is one of the most well-known people in the tennis world. But after his appearance on the TopCourt platform, fans learned just a little bit more about the American.

Some of the questions in the Q&A:

“Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings?”

BG: Can I say none?

“Favorite non-tennis athlete?”

BG: My biggest idol as a kid, I thought he was the coolest person in the world: James Bond.

“What’s your favorite adult beverage?”

BG: Without a doubt, I’m a beer dude.

“Who has the best forehand on tour?”

BG: Tough one. You know, I’d go to sleep every single night 24/7 if you gave my Rafa’s forehand or if you gave me Fed’s forehand. I might not even need to sleep, but I’d take either one. It’d be perfect.
