RENNAE STUBBS talks TENNIS with CRAIG SHAPIRO [Ep53]

4-time Grand Slam doubles champion RENNAE STUBBS has been a fixture on the tour for nearly 3 decades.  As a player, she was the #1 doubles player in the world and won more doubles titles than any other Australian woman. She also was the longest serving member of the Australian Fed Cup team, playing for 17 years. And she participated in 4 Olympic Games. After her playing career finished, she found new life as a broadcaster, coach and podcaster. As a broadcaster she's worked for Australia's SEVEN NETWORK, The Tennis Channel and ESPN. As a coach she worked with current world #2 Karolina Pliskova and is currently working with 2011 US Open Champion Sam Stosur. And if that's not enough, she hosts the entertaining and insightful Racquet Magazine Podcast.

On this episode, RENNAE STUBBS offers a behind the scenes look at what's currently happening on the women's tour. She tells us about scrapping around London as a young Australian upstart. She recounts the story of one of her most emotional on court interviews. And she breaks down the plusses and minuses of dating your doubles partner.
