  • Following her premature retirement from tennis in 1980 due to knee issues, Mary Carillo never left the sport. Following some spot work as a commentator, the USA Network signed her to call matches, and the rest was history.

    If tennis was called on a significant network, Carillo was calling it. Quick-witted with a booming voice, Carillo is considered by many to be the voice of the sport. She would later call tennis over multiple Olympics and also serve as a studio host on many occasions.

    For her work, she was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2026.

    We are proud to nominate Mary Carillo for the United States Athletic Hall of Fame.
