Getting To Know….Greet Minnen - Fantastic Tennis

What this episode covers

Our guest this week joins us as she celebrates her 25th birthday from a WTA event in Granby, Canada. Having reached a career high ranking of world #69 last year after her impressive run to the 2021 US Open 3rd round, Greet Minnen talks with host Jon Guerrica about the pressures of tour life and having to defend vital ranking points from her milestone season. We discuss her 2022 success as well, as just this summer, she collected her first top 10 singles win by defeating former world #1 Garbine Muguruza, at the Wimbledon Championships. The pair also discuss her decision to share her journey as an open & proud gay woman in pro tennis and her thoughts on WTA & ATP Tour relations. Greet has a wonderful introspective personality and this is a rare in-depth interview, we get-to-know a player that typically shies away from the limelight. I hope you'll join us in getting to know, the fantastic Greet Minnen.
