WTA Insider Podcast: Award Winners
On Episode 10, WTA Insider Senior Writer Courtney Nguyen reviews the winners of the 2015 WTA Awards, which were just announced this week. It’s a top-notch slate of deserving recipients that include Player of the Year Serena Williams, Doubles Team of the Year Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza, and Comeback Player of the Year Venus Williams.
You’ll also hear from 2015’s Most Improved Player, Switzerland’s Timea Bacsinszky, who talks about her breakout season, which saw her make her first Slam semifinal at her beloved French Open and finish the season at No.12. Always philosophical and grounded in her perspective, Bacsinszky talks about her quick yet steady rise, her struggle to deal with the increased attention back home in Switzerland, and why she’s flourishing in what she considers her “third” career.
“The comeback is over,” Bacsinszky says on the podcast. “It was the second career. Now I’m starting my third career, because I would obviously like to last long, to be healthy, and still enjoy playing.”
