Bibiane Schoofs & Katarzyna Kawa Interviews: ATX Open Finalists

Bibiane Schoofs (Netherlands) is the 92nd-ranked doubles player on the WTA Tour. Her partner at the ATX Open, Katarzyna Kawa (Poland), is ranked #93 in doubles and top 200 in singles. Schoofs and Kawa made the finals in Austin. This episode includes two interviews with the finalists, after their quarterfinal and semifinal victories. We spoke about each matchup, including the different conditions throughout the week. They partnered together for the first time in Austin and made the deadline by only 7 minutes! You'll learn why Bibiane likes to scout opponents while Katarzyna likes to focus on herself. I also ask Katarzyna why she looks down until right before her opponent is serving, a unique ritual I noticed while watching her play. At the end, you'll hear why both players laughed after Katarzyna missed volleys on consecutive poaches in the 10-point match tiebreak. ----- **Join the #1 Doubles Strategy Newsletter for Club Tennis Players** New doubles strategy lessons weekly straight to your inbox: https://www.thetennistribe.com/join-the-tribe/ **Doubles Strategy Courses** These video courses will help you play smarter doubles and make winning easier.
