It had been six years since Michaela Gordon last competed in an ITF pro tennis tournament until she showed up at the Monastir $15K this summer. The 4x All-American and 2x NCAA team champion at Stanford ('18, '19) had set up her life to move on from tennis. Those decisions included getting a masters degree from Stanford and beginning a career in venture capital. What changed?
Michaela joins the show to reflect on her Stanford career and share why she left her corporate job to pursue a pro tennis career.
