In this interview, we chat with 2017 Australian Open mixed doubles champion and former top 10 player, Abi Spears. Abi has been playing tennis at a high level for her entire life and is now coaching players of all levels.
She also posts lessons on her website, where you can book time with her.
During her playing career, Abi was a force to be reckoned with, terrorizing players with her aggressive style.
In this conversation, we talk about lots of strategy and technique advice for club-level players.
- What’s wrong with your half-volley and how to fix it.
- A huge mistake club-level doubles players make with their partners.
- How to win more serve and return points without hitting bigger.
- Winning with a weaker partner and being a good teammate.
We also discuss how Abi got into tennis, why she left college for the pros, and, of course, how to make doubles more popular. This episode offers some great tips for any tennis players who want to reach the 4.5+ level.
