Ellen Perez Interview: WTA Partnerships, Rennae Stubbs Lesson, US Open Mixed, & 2025 Goals

Will Boucek Episode 231

Ellen Perez is the #17 doubles player on the WTA tour. I spoke with her at Indian Wells on an off day after her 2nd round win with Jelena Ostapenko. We discussed their partnership, working with coach Rennae Stubbs, US Open Mixed changes, and more.

  • Working with Rennae Stubbs and understanding strategic shot placement
  • Ostapenko's funny on-court nature
  • Partnership changes early in the 2025 WTA doubles season
  • Goals for the rest of 2025
  • Adjusting to playing with doubles specialists like Melichar-Martinez vs more baseline-oriented/singles players like Mertens & Ostapenko
  • Her candid reaction of the US Open mixed doubles format changes
  • Finding the right communication style with different partners' on-court personalities

Check out our previous episodes with Ellen below where we dive deeper into her full tennis journey.
