Quinn Gleason is the WTA’s #107 ranked doubles player. She reached the top 100 for the first time in 2023. Quinn played college tennis at Notre Dame. I chatted with Quinn during the Australian Open while she was wrapping up some off-season training.
In this conversation, we discuss the balance of managing a WTA and ITF schedule since Quinn qualifies for some but not all WTA events. We also discuss Quinn’s off-season preparations and the impact of the ever-changing ITF and WTA landscape on players like her.
Quinn also shares:
- How WTA players choose doubles partners from week to week.
- What her ideal doubles partner’s skill-set would include.
- Her experience playing in front of a packed house on Grandstand at the US Open against Coco Gauff & Jessica Pegula.
- What she thinks she needs to take the next leap into the top 50. I loved her answer to this.
- How she’s improving her forehand return by training with a shorter backswing.
Finally, we discuss Quinn’s favorite tournament, books, and tackle the challenges and potential of doubles, advocating for increased visibility and popularity of the sport.
