Demi Schuurs & Asia Muhammad Interview: WTA Partnerships, Team Chemistry, & Mixed Doubles Reaction

Demi Schuurs and Asia Muhammad join the show for their 3rd and 2nd times respectively (listen to the previous episode with Demi | episode with Asia).

This team just won the BNP Paribas Open and I chatted with them after their second-round victory at Indian Wells just before practice on their off day. We discussed their impressive run to that point in the tournament, how their partnership formed, what's working so well, and more.

• Defeating Olympic champions and major finalists Paolini/Errani in round one with clean, aggressive tennis
• Finding partnership chemistry through shared temperament—both value staying "chill" under pressure
• Their aggressive, net-focused playing style
• Demi expresses concerns about US Open mixed doubles changes limiting opportunities for doubles specialists
• Asia discusses her transition to a doubles-only focus, which brought her into the top 10 within a year

Demi and Asia went on to play an amazing tournament only dropping one set and defeating some of the top teams on tour. They're a fun team to watch and you can learn a lot from how they play. Be sure to watch them throughout the rest of the 2025 season.
