This is an interview with ATP tennis coach, Rob Morgan. Rob has coached tennis for over two decades and currently coaches world #1 doubles player Wesley Koolhof, who just won Wimbledon alongside Neal Skupski.I ask Rob about his role on their team and what it took to win Wimbledon. Wesley and Neal have been the best team in the world for over a year but hadn't won a Grand Slam until last week. You'll find out what they improved this year to get over the hump and win their first major title.We also discuss:The one thing Rob has all his players do when he first starts coaching them (something he says he's never shared)How to beat a team that lobs or pushes for club-level playersThe most neglected shot for club doubles players3 questions you should ask a new doubles partnerRob seems to prioritize communication in doubles, and I didn't realize how deep communication could go on and off the court until this conversation. We discuss the ways doubles partners can better understand and help each other out before, during, and after matches.
