Neal Skupski Interview: Partnership with Joe Salisbury, Clay to Grass Transition, & Roland Garros Run

Neal Skupski, the #11 ranked doubles player on the ATP Tour and three-time Wimbledon champion, discusses his partnership with Joe Salisbury, their recent Roland Garros finals run, and more.

I spoke with Neal during his off day in Eastbourne, where he was preparing for the quarterfinals. He and Joe won that match and are now in the semis.

• Working through the chemistry and tactical adjustments of a new partnership
• The significant adjustments required to transition from clay to grass
• Is grass Neal's best surface?
• Having a positive "performer" mentality - a term used by many of the British players and coaches
• What "take it one point at a time" means to Neal, and how he implements that mentality
• Thoughts on the mixed doubles format changes at the US Open

We didn't have time to get to all your Instagram/Twitter questions, but I'll try to get Neal back later this year for more.
