This is our second interview with Vania King, a 2-time Grand Slam champion.

We talk about how and when to cross at the net, practice time, and return strategy.

Also in this conversation:

  • What Vania would do to help a 3.5-4.0 player improve in 3 months at the net.
  • How she ranks her play as a server, returner, server’s partner, and returner’s partner.
  • A specific tactic she used for returning down the line.

You will hear how to improve your net play, specific doubles strategy for club-level players, and how to practice better.
