This is an interview with WTA doubles player, Demi Schuurs. Demi has a career-high ranking of #7 in the world, including 17 doubles titles on tour.

Demi is also a top returner and net player, making her one of my favorite players to watch. She has a very old-school doubles game, constantly moving forward and taking away time from her opponents.

In this conversation, we discuss her story – she grew up in the Netherlands, how to play with different doubles partners, including her current one, Desirae Krawczyk, and strategy.

You’ll learn:

  • Demi’s approach to the return & volley (she’s one of the best at this tactic).
  • Different tactics for returning against I-formation.
  • How to develop quick reactions & volleys at the net, including several drills she recommends.
  • Why she sometimes stands way out wide, behind the doubles alley, to serve.

Demi also shares some potential plans and goals for after her pro tennis career. This is a fun interview because you get a little bit of everything from Demi including personal stories, life as a pro doubles player, and tactics & strategy.
