Marcelo Arevalo Interview: The Highs & Lows of Winning a Major
Marcelo Arevalo is a top 10 doubles player on the ATP Tour who recently won Roland Garros for the second time in three years. In this episode, he shares his experience winning the French Open again.
One of the things that makes tennis so difficult is the sustained focus required to win. This can create mental fatigue and stress. Marcelo doesn’t dance around that topic in this episode. Instead of the typical canned responses you hear during post-match interviews, he shares how difficult it was during and after winning the tournament.
He also explains:
- A strategic adjustment he and his partner, Mate Pavic, made to turn around their semifinal match against the top seeds after dropping the first set.
- What he’s learned from his new partner, a 7x major champion himself, this year.
- His thoughts on how to make doubles more popular.
If you’re not a Marcelo fan yet, you will be after. He’s an incredibly positive and generous guy with great energy on the court. Vamos Chelo!
