LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Todd Martin still calls the Lansing area home even though he no longer resides in the Mid-Michigan area.

Martin moved to East Lansing at the age of 10, and that’s where his passion and love for tennis flourished. He continued to excel at a young age and became a standout tennis star at East Lansing High School.

Martin would then go on to play a couple of years at Northwestern University before going pro and playing at the peak of tennis in many battles throughout his career.
