We caught up with former top 10 star Chanda Rubin when she was in Melbourne as part of the AO commentary team, returning to a tournament site where she reached the 1996 semifinals -- her best Grand Slam result. That year Rubin beat Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario in a record-breaking quarterfinal before teaming with the Spaniard to win the women's doubles title. Yet while that, plus her peak world No.6 ranking, both occurred in 1996, Rubin believes she was at her best in 2002 and 2003, when she competed in one of the strongest periods in women's tennis and even scored a win over world No.1 Serena Williams in the midst of the 'Serena Slam' era. These highs capped a successful comeback from double knee surgery, but injuries returned in 2004 and ultimately cut short her career. Following her final match in 2006, Rubin completed a university degree and has emerged as a popular voice in the tennis media, making it especially fascinating to get her views on her career, her rivals, and the sport today. iHeart Spotify Apple Podcasts PodLink Host handles: @Viv_Christie @MattyAT See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
