Getting To Know....Ekaterina Alexandrova

What this episode covers

It's not every day I get to have a 1 hour conversation with the 11th best tennis player in the world, and if you factor in that she rarely does interviews, it makes today's episode even more special. We welcome the ferocious and fiery, WTA #11, Ekaterina Alexandrova to the Fantastic Tennis Podcast for our 83rd player spotlight. We're just back from the Miami Open, and even though Ekaterina didn't come home with the title, you're in for an amazing get-to-know-you chat with a player that was able to achieve a career milestone by closing out her 2025 season with her 5th career WTA title, and a historic finish inside the world's top 10. In this hour, we chat about her big wins over world #1's like Iga & Aryna, but also we dig deeper and cover topics like, managing emotions on court, online hate, a win that changed her career trajectory and even her favorite curse word. Join our host, Jon Guerrica for a memorable convo with the fantastic, Ekaterina Alexandrova.
