Angela Kulikov is a WTA doubles player with a career-high ranking of 57 in the world. She played college tennis at USC where she was the #1 doubles player in the country.

She shares her path to becoming a professional tennis player and how she's dealt with injuries, using them to reset and propel her game forward. You'll learn: How Angela improved her game during COVID. Why she and her partner, Sophie Chang, play two-back on her 2nd serve. The "contingency" or "sparkle" serve play. How she thinks about using different serve formations. A serve and volley drill that helps with timing the first volley. The Reuleaux Triangle framework to follow at the net. Angela's GAT method for decision-making during points (this is at the very end). Full shownotes here: https://www.thetennistribe.com/angela...

Talk Tennis Podcast: NFL + Tennis love story Angela kulikov (WTA) & alex ward (La rams) Football vs tennis
Today we have the cutest crossover couple from the NFL and the WTA: Angela and Alex! Angela Kulikov is a CA girl who played college tennis at USC and is now a doubles specialist on the WTA Pro Tour, but can also kick some serious butt in singles and knows a thing or two about football having gone viral as the QB Chick right around the pandemic showcasing her absolute athleticism and ability to do it all! She has seen success on the pro tour and currently is dealing with a few minor injury snafus but always has some fun stories along the way. Alex Ward stands at 6 foot 4 and grew up in Florida…a hot bed for tennis as we all know, but currently wears number 47 and is the Long Snapper for the Los Angeles Rams! He played college football for the Knights at Central Florida but if you happen to see him on a tennis court you probably would assume he played tennis at UCF. He might just be the best tennis player currently on the NFL! Listen to their story on how they met, who loves tennis more, and how they have helped each other along the way as they navigate being pro athletes in two very different sports. We also chat about off seasons, financial security as a pro athlete, training, the mental side of it all and more. Oh and don't miss the big question, WHO IS THE GOAT: Tom Brady or Roger Federer?!
