This week we are joined by Katie Spellman, who is an independent PR consultant to two of the most successful players in women's tennis - Simona Halep & Petra Kvitova!
Katie also does some work with tournaments & has previous experience working as part of the WTA as well as woking in journalism.
We talk:
- What her role involves
- How she got into tennis
- Working through the pandemic
- Australian Open
- Best of 5
We also talk about the Peng Shuai situation in China, which is particularly relevant at the moment. There is obviously a huge media element to that story so it was great to be able to get Katie's perspective on it!
Let us know what you think!
