Balancing Top 100 & Med School | Hanne Vandewinkel Interview & Monte Carlo Headlines

Join 4-time Grand Slam Champion Kim Clijsters and tennis reporter Blair Henley for a deep dive into the rapid rise of Belgium’s newest star, Hanne Vandewinkel. Fresh off a Billie Jean King Cup Qualifier weekend where Belgium stunned the United States, Hanne opens up about her first Top 20 victory over Iva Jovic, the emotional impact of a surprise video message from cycling legend Wout van Aert, and what it really feels like to balance the WTA tour with her life as a medical student. 

The episode also covers the biggest stories on tour, including Jannik Sinner’s historic dominance as the new World No. 1 following his Monte Carlo victory, and the "bestie" vibes between him and Carlos Alcaraz. The duo also discusses Mirra Andreeva’s clinical performance in Linz, and a special guest question from Zizou Bergs.
