Will Blumberg is the #93 ranked doubles player on the ATP Tour. He was a 10-time All-American at North Carolina and made the finals of the 2024 Dallas Open where this conversation was recorded.
Will and I sat down on his day off in Dallas to discuss his career, the pro doubles tour, and strategy.
You’ll learn:
- Why Will and his partner, Rinky Hijikata, switched return sides after the 1st set – I almost never see this at the pro level.
- How he picks up his energy for 10-point tiebreakers.
- What adjustments he makes with different doubles partners – he played with nine partners in 2023.
- The difference between the body-forehand vs body-backhand serve.
Will also shares the advice he gives his fiancee and mom to help them in their adult league doubles matches, as well as what he did in practice that day in Dallas. At the end, we discuss the popularity of doubles.
Keep an eye on Will Blumberg throughout this season as I don’t expect him to stay outside the top 50 for much longer.
