Storm Hunter is one of the best doubles players on the WTA tour over the last several seasons. She's a Wimbledon finalist (2023), world #1, and US Open mixed doubles champion (2022).

Unfortunately, the 2024 season was cut short for Storm as she suffered a torn Achilles in April. I spoke with her from Australia in June as she continues rehab. We discussed her timeline for recovery and her success on the court over the past few seasons.

Here are a few topics we cover.

• When does she expect to return to pro tennis?
• How has she been able to succeed with a variety of doubles partners who have different game styles? Caroline Dolehide, Elise Mertens, Katerina Siniakova...
• Why Storm started playing tennis right-handed.
• What does she do differently in mixed vs women's doubles?
• Strategy advice for lefty's and righty's who are playing with a lefty.
• Which of her Aussie teammates would do best in a fight with their scary wildlife? 🤣

You'll get some great insights into life on the pro tour, Storm's childhood, and tons of doubles strategy in this episode. We hope to see Storm back soon!
