Erin Routliffe Interview: Her Huge Ranking Leap, Practice Routines, & Match Preparation
About this episode
This is an interview with the current World No. 30 WTA Doubles Player, and a rising doubles star, Erin Routliffe.
I spoke with Erin about her improvement (especially in terms of mindset), her practice and match routines, and all things doubles.
In this conversation we talk about:
- The importance of college tennis for her career & her opinion on if players should go pro or to college at 18.
- How she went from being a top-100 doubles player to a top-30 doubles player.
- The special way she starts every practice to improve her touch and feel at the net.
You will also hear how she got into tennis, what she has been doing in the off-season, and of course, what we can do to make doubles more popular.
