Tamara Zidansek - Balance
Episode description
WTA player Tamara Zidansek jumped onto our screens during the 2021 French Open, when as an unseeded player she made it through to the semi-finals at Roland Garros.
Since then, the Slovenian has reached a career high of 22 WTA and this week lost in a 3 set battle to World Number 2 Ons Jabeur at the Australian Open.
CTC host Dan Kiernan caught up with Tamara just before she started pre-season training last month to chat about her tennis career so far including..
- How she thinks she deals with losses too well.
- Dealing with the emotions of playing in a Grand Slam compared to other tournaments.
- How she didn´t play on a hard court until she was 15-years-old.
- The impact periods have on womens tennis and her thoughts on Wimbledon allowing women to wear dark underwear from 2023.
And so much more. Another episode not to be missed!
