Aldila Sutjiadi Interview: Wimbledon Prep, Partner Conversations, Indonesia Tennis, & Her Medical Scare
About this episode
Aldila Sutjiadi is the #36 WTA doubles player coming off a grass court title in Bad Homburg alongside Vera Zvonareva. I spoke with Aldila a few days before Wimbledon, so we discussed her preparation, recent title, and more.
We talk through recovery choices, what actually creates doubles chemistry, and her health scare from a few years ago.
- Managing Wimbledon prep with smart on-site time and planned practice blocks
- Handling recovery day to day, including physio for specific pain
- Unpacking the French Open cramp and the role of heat and hydration
- What clicked with Vera Zvonareva in Bad Homburg
- Zvonareva's communications style (I loved this part)
- Grass-court doubles fundamentals, including staying low, first volleys, and serve-plus-one patterns
- Adjusting quickly across many partners by leaning on a hybrid baseline and net game
- Returning from a wrist injury and a sudden hearing-loss episode with vertigo and hospitalization
- Growing Instagram through wins, highlights, and connecting with Indonesian tennis fans
Aldila reached the second round in women's doubles and the quarterfinals in mixed doubles at Wimbledon. Follow Aldila on Instagram below and watch her throughout the 2026 season!
