Vania King Interview: Improving Her Kick Serve, Winning 2 Majors, & Inspiring Motivation

This is an interview with a Former World No. 3 doubles player, 2-time Grand Slam champion, and Top-50 singles player, Vania King. Vania shares key moments and what led to them during her career, the unique way that she made adjustments (especially to her kick serve), and what went right in 2010 for her two majors. She won Wimbledon and the US Open back-to-back in 2010 with doubles partner Yaroslava Shvedova. I also ask Vania about: Her unique approach to improvement that led to her first singles title and her two doubles Grand Slams. What was going through her mind & some behind-the-scenes stories during her Wimbledon title. How to deal with parents/coaches that push kids too hard. You will hear how she got into tennis, a trend she has seen in club-level doubles, a teaser for a possible second episode to discuss strategy and her foundation, and what we can do to make doubles more popular.
