Rick Leach Interview: 9x Grand Slam Doubles Champion & World Team Tennis Coach

Rick Leach is one of the top doubles players of all time. He won five major titles in men's doubles and four in mixed. Rick just coached the Orange County Breakers to the 2021 World Team Tennis championship.


We discuss what Rick has seen changed in tennis since he played on tour, including how string technology has transformed the type of ball that is hit. I also ask him about coaching, lineup, and substitution strategy for World Team Tennis. After that, Rick shares his favorite doubles strategies and tactics that he used as a player and still coaches today.
