Jared Jacobs Interview: Coaching WTA Doubles, The Demi Schuurs Return, & Strategy

This is an interview with Jared Jacobs, the coach of WTA doubles team Demi Schuurs and Desirae Krawczyk. We discuss his tennis background, the season so far, making adjustments, and more.

Jared also works with Bethanie Mattek-Sands. I asked him what her future looks like for the next year and when we might see her back on tour. Jared has worked with many of the top doubles players in the world and has lots of knowledge and experience to share.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Demi’s & Desirae’s 2022 season so far.
• Why Demi Schuurs’ return is so good.
• How Desirae is so good at mixed doubles.
• How to make adjustments with your partner.
• The way you should think about serve strategy.
• How to determine a return strategy.

You’ll also hear how Jared got into tennis, how he became a coach, and how he thinks we can make doubles more popular.
