Sophie Chang is the 82nd ranked doubles player on the WTA Tour. She made the 3rd round of the 2023 US Open with Alycia Parks and has 1 WTA & 21 ITF doubles titles.
I sat down with Sophie at the 2024 ATX Open where she lost a close first round match (7-6 7-6) to the top seeds alongside Angela Kulikov. In this long conversation, we speak about the match, on court attitude, doubles strategy, and more.

We discuss how to make doubles more popular as well.
There are some interviews when I can tell the interviewee is putting effort and thought into their answers. This was one of those. Sophie provides great insights into the life of a WTA player and actionable advice that you can use to improve your own doubles game.
