Katerina Siniakova is the #1 doubles player on the WTA tour. She holds 11 Grand Slam titles in women's doubles, one in mixed doubles, and two Olympic Gold Medals. She is also a top 50 singles player.
In this episode, I chat with her as she prepares for the US Open. We discussed US Open prep, mixed doubles, mindset shifts, lessons from her career so far, and partner skills that helped her already become one of the greatest doubles players of all time.
Her practice routines early in the majors
Players who influenced her when she was young
Respect for doubles
How she shifted from a singles-first identity to taking real pride in doubles success
Why she thinks comparing singles and doubles players is unfair
What she would change about the US Open mixed doubles
How she helps new partners feel confident and adjusts tactics to fit their strengths
How she uses frustration without letting it take over
Advice to her younger self
Quick listener Q&A on doubles rules, her superpower, and least favorite Slam
This was an enlightening and fun conversation that I know you'll enjoy. Watch Katerina in the singles and doubles (with Taylor Townsend) at this year's US Open!
