Getting To Know....Dominique Monami

Fantastic Tennis

Whether you remember our guest as Dominique Van Roost, or today as Dominique Monami, you won't soon forget her decade long career and the long list of accomplishments she was able to achieve after listening to this week's episode. Before Kim Clijsters & Justine Henin put Belgian tennis on the map, Dominique fiercely broke records of her own. First, by becoming the first Belgian player to enter the world's top 10, (climbing all the way to world #9 in 1998) as well as being the first from her country to win an Olympic medal (2000 Sydney). During our interview, Dominique recounts some amazing stories from throughout her years on tour, as well as memorable match wins against former #1 legends like: Serena, Venus, Lindsay Davenport, Martina Hingis and of course, fellow countrywomen, Kim Clijsters. We discuss the state of tennis in Belgium today as well as her thoughts on gamesmanship within the sport….also her locker-room tale from a match against French player, Sandrine Testud that is not to be missed. I hope you’ll join this fun & lively conversation as we remember the career of this 8x WTA tournament champion, the fantastic….Dominique Monami. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jon-guerrica/support
