About this episode
This is an interview with WTA doubles player, Demi Schuurs. Demi has a career-high ranking of #7 in the world, including 17 doubles titles on tour. Demi is also a top returner and net player, making her one of my favorite players to watch. She has a very old-school doubles game, constantly moving forward and taking away time from her opponents. In this conversation, we discuss her story – she grew up in the Netherlands, how to play with different doubles partners, including her current one, Desirae Krawczyk, and strategy. You’ll learn: Demi’s approach to the return & volley (she’s one of the best at this tactic). Different tactics for returning against I-formation. How to develop quick reactions & volleys at the net, including several drills she recommends. Why she sometimes stands way out wide, behind the doubles alley, to serve. Demi also shares some potential plans and goals for after her pro tennis career. This is a fun interview because you get a little bit of everything from Demi including personal stories, life as a pro doubles player, and tactics & strategy.
