The Sit-Down with Simon Rea

  • Summary

  • Viv and Matt have always wanted to sit down with Simon Rea, a colleague who began his tennis journey in his native New Zealand. Emerging through the NZ junior pathway to become a national champion and Davis Cup representative, he completed a journalism degree as a US college player. He later transitioned to high performance coaching, which brought him to Melbourne and saw him link up with Nick Kyrgios, whose breakthrough run to the Wimbledon 2014 quarterfinals he recalls in vivid detail, as well as his time coaching Sam Stosur. Now Senior Manager of Game Analysis at Tennis Australia, Rea discusses his coaching philosophy, the renewed interest in New Zealand tennis, and how his data team is helping Australia's current crop of stars.
