Quick Hits – Catching Up with Caty McNally
Caty, congratulations on your win.
Caty McNally: Thank you.
Tennis Panorama News: How does it feel coming back to the U.S. Open again?
CN: Yeah, it’s super special to be back here, and it’s been a while since I’ve just been here competing, so it’s just special to feel the atmosphere here and to experience, you know, being an American, playing in your home slam, it’s really special and there’s just, you know, there’s just a great energy, a great vibe around the grounds. And, yeah, I really enjoyed it.
TPN: Coming back for you, making your way back from a little bit of an injury, you won Newport. Can you talk about that?
CN: Yeah, after Wimbledon, I had been signed up for Newport and I thought it was a great opportunity to just get a little bit more time on the grass. My brother got married before Wimbledon, so it cut out two weeks of my grass court season, which, for me is not usually ideal, but it is what it is, so Newport being on the calendar ended up working out great, and, yeah, I had a great week there and carried that over into Evansville, which is another ITF and won that. So just great for me to get more matches under my belt and anytime I can compete for trophies on a Sunday, it’s amazing.
TPN: Do you have any goals for the rest of the year?
CN: For me, yeah, I’m actually going to Asia for the first time, so I’m just really excited to go over there. Hopefully I can play a lot of matches. But for me, I’ve never had the opportunity to go over there every time I’ve wanted to I’ve either been injured or it’s just, it’s not worked out. It’s not worked out. So I’m just excited to go over there and to experience so many new things and, yeah, hopefully I can play some good tennis, but for now, I just enjoy being here.
TPN: I see you with Viuori now. Can you talk about that? Because the other players are changing clothiers
CN: Yeah, I’ve been I mean, I was with Adidas for a long time and obviously coming off the injury. Yeah, a new brand, and I love them so much. I think over the last couple of years, they’ve really expanded and Yeah, I mean, I just love their stuff. And yeah, I’ excited to wear it.
