Mike Digby has been a hitting partner to some of the biggest names in tennis.
A late-comer to the game, the 23-year-old Brit played tennis to US College level.
He´s since travelled to some of the biggest tournaments in the game, practising with and warming up players like Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Simona Halep and Coco Gauff.
He´s currently a coach at https://www.sototennis.com (SotoTennis Academy), and has recently returned from hitting with ATP and WTA players at the Madrid Masters.
Not an easy job, it´s often role of the hitting partner to emulate the next opponent as much as possible, so having a versatile game, being flexible with your hours and catering to the players wants and needs is a must!
In this episode, Mike gives us an insight into what life is really like as a hitting partner to the pros, from the best experiences to the worst!
