This episode includes two post-match interviews from the ATX Open with top seeds, Nadiia Kichenok and Oksana Kalashnikova. I chatted with them after their round one and quarterfinal wins in Austin. Nadiia and Oksana are both inside the top 55 on the WTA doubles tour.
You'll learn:
- Why they used more I-formation in their first match, but less in the quarterfinals.
- How they adjusted to different match conditions - from cold & windy one day to sunny and hot a few days later.
- Details about a crucial call by Nadiia for a down-the-line return from Oksana during the 10-point tiebreaker.
They also share a bit about life on tour as doubles players and why they are right on the cusp of a significant ranking threshold. Nadiia and Oksana ultimately lost in the semifinals in Austin in another close three-set match.
