She’s also been featured by Tennis Magazine, ESPN, WTA, and dozens of other outlets.This was a special episode, as I was joined by fellow Tennis Tribe writer Hanlon Walsh who wrote a Tennis Media Roundtable article on Blair in 2020. You’ll gather some insights into what it takes to get into the tennis media business, what’s it’s like to interview top players, and what a day is like for Blair.We talk about the Dallas Open, Blair’s tennis story, and, of course, how to make doubles more popular. In addition to many more ideas, Blair had several interesting thoughts on doubles:She believes that contrary to popular opinion, a lot of people really enjoy watching doubles tennis.It is a lot like women’s sports in that it doesn’t get the platform it needs to prove its worth (great analogy here).And, doubles players should focus on their personal brands more.You can see the show notes for this episode at: https://www.thetennistribe.com/blair-henley-interview/Get free doubles strategies and tips to help you improve your game and become a smarter player at TheTennisTribe.com
