Recently, Hayley Carter, broke into the top 100 on the WTA Doubles Tour and just won her first Grand Slam career match last week at the US Open. She also has been navigating her tennis career with an unknown illness and has found it isn't always easy to break through on the WTA Tour...especially when she doesn't get cleared to compete. There's no doubt, this young lady with great hands has seen lots of success on the tennis court as a junior player, a collegiate standout and now a top player on the ITF circuit. As you will hear, she is well spoken, incredibly smart, a self-proclaimed nerd, a hard worker on and off the court and a Bethanie Mattek-Sands fan girl!

Enjoy!

She also travels with her own machine to string her racquets. I do not know what she uses as I never got the details. But, when she was here last year she would string her own at her hotel.

ATP/WTA tennis players should use AirBnB as much as possible in order to save money, IMHO. Hotels are for suckers and people who have enough money to burn.

I assume he meant "wherever she is staying" at certain tournaments. If you listen to the episode, you'll hear Hayley reference host families often...she definitely takes advantage of housing and more affordable options when traveling.

If you also listen, you'll hear about all the money she has invested just to get cleared to play on tour. Not the most glamorous life...definitely doesn't have money to burn.

Several of the players do get set up with host families. My wife and I have 4 staying with us this year. I do not remember where Hayley stayed last year.

I was going by what the previous poster said that "she would string her own at her hotel." I am in NY for the USO and I stay in AirBnB at 75% less than staying at the hotel. That's my point.
