Danielle Collins Interview: Singles vs. Doubles & 80+ Leagues

This is a conversation with Danielle Collins from the 2023 Charleston Open where she and Desirae Krawczyk won the doubles title. Danielle was a singles finalist in the 2022 Australian Open, a doubles semifinalist at Wimbledon that same year, and reached a career-high in singles of #7 in the world in 2022. This episode is a little different because it’s the first time I’ve had a “singles player” on the show to discuss doubles. Danielle and I discuss: Why Danielle is playing more doubles alongside her singles schedule, and how it helps her singles game. How playing in an 80+ doubles league as an 8-year-old helped her improve. Her 2022 Australian Open singles run compared to her doubles semifinal run at Wimbledon. Her experiences in college tennis where she played at Florida before transferring to Virginia (she won 2 NCAA singles titles there). You will also learn why she loves the camaraderie in doubles, what she is working on, her favorite tournaments, a book recommendation, and how to make doubles more popular.
