Coach Craig Veal Interview: Developing Consistent Performance, Same vs Different Partners, & Doubles Strategy
Craig Veal shares his experience coaching three top-40 WTA doubles players: Desirae Krawczyk (#14), Olivia Nicholls (#32), and Teresa Mihalikova (#34). Currently in Paris, preparing his players for the upcoming French Open, Craig and I discussed how he manages multiple players while sharing strategy insights, and more.
- Craig's coaching philosophy centers on "coaching people first, tennis second," which has led to long-term coaching relationships
- He shares one doubles tactic that is more effective on clay vs other surfaces
- His top 3 questions for club doubles players playing with new partners
- How Olivia Nicholls has improved her ranking so consistently, plus insights into her match review process
- Why right-handed players in the ad court should hit more forehands rather than relying solely on backhands
- Where Des Krawczyk's mixed doubles success comes from, including her in-match "dad jokes" 🤣
- Why ATP doubles faces different challenges than WTA doubles
This was a fun conversation that I think everyone will enjoy, whether you're a club player looking to improve or a WTA doubles fan. Watch Craig's players this year and follow him below.
