Getting To Know….Tatiana Golovin
Manage episode 330145567 series 2944162
As we celebrate and watch the 2022 French Open this week, we're truly excited to welcome 2004 French Open Mixed Doubles Champion from France, Tatiana Golovin to discuss her fascinating life & playing career. Tatiana was an instant fan favorite as she burst onto the scene as a 16yo Nick Bollettieri prodigy, and would ultimately be named the 2004 WTA Newcomer of the Year after a highly successful season. As she continued to skyrocket up the WTA rankings (reaching world #12), many considered her a strong contender for future grand slam titles, especially after defeating several former world #1's to win her first career title at the 2007 Amelia Island event. A freak back injury ultimately sidelined our champion, and she'd spend the next 11 long years wondering what could've been. And in a crazy turn of events, she would mount a highly publicized 2019 comeback that was not meant for grand slam glory, but for her own peace-of-mind and the dream of saying goodbye to tennis on her own terms. This is a fascinating interview with a player who seized an opportunity to do things her own way. I hope you'll join us this week in getting to know....the fantastic, Tatiana Golovin.
