Caroline Garcia, the former world No. 4 tennis player, has embarked on a new journey as the host of the Tennis Insider Club podcast. Launched in February with co-host Borja Durán, the podcast aims to provide a platform for players, coaches, and athletes to share their experiences and insights.
Garcia, known for her candor in interviews, was inspired to create the podcast during a challenging period in her career. She recognized the need for a safe space where athletes could openly discuss their struggles and triumphs.
The podcast's unique English-language format, with Garcia and Durán's distinct perspectives, creates a comfortable atmosphere for guests. Garcia's experience on the tour allows her to relate to players' experiences, while Durán's off-court perspective provides a fresh viewpoint.
Garcia has already hosted notable guests such as Ons Jabeur, Andrey Rublev, and Patrick Mouratoglou. She has also conducted the first longform interview with Alizé Cornet after her retirement announcement.
The podcast has gained traction, with episodes garnering hundreds of thousands of views. Garcia attributes its success to the combination of her on-court experience and Durán's off-court insights.
Garcia's passion for the podcast is evident in her enthusiasm for promoting it on social media and monitoring its analytics. She is grateful for the support from fans and the WTA, which has helped spread the word.
Garcia's journey as a podcaster has reminded her of the importance of remembering her roots and appreciating the achievements she has made. She hopes to inspire young players and share her love for the sport through the Tennis Insider Club.
