Kirsten Flipkens Interview at the WTA Finals

Kirsten Flipkens is a former WTA player who retired earlier in 2023 and is now coaching. I spoke with her at the WTA Finals where she was coaching Demi Schuurs & Desirae Krawczyk.

We chatted about:

• Her transition from player to coach.
• Doubles tips for club players.
• How to improve drop shots and slices.
• Her favorite doubles drill.
• Mixed doubles strategy.

There's also a brief interruption/guest appearance by Ons Jabeur... she was walking through the hotel lobby and took the microphone from Kirsten.

At the end, we discussed Kirsten's plans for 2024 and beyond, as well as how to make doubles more popular.
