Playing career

edit

Stubbs reached her highest ranking in singles on the WTA TOUR of 64 but it was in doubles that Stubbs was outstanding, winning four Grand Slam doubles titles and two mixed-doubles titles. She was ranked world No. 1 in doubles in 2000. She represented Australia at four successive Summer Olympic Games: Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, and Beijing 2008.

Stubbs has recorded more doubles triumphs than any other Australian woman—60 from 1992 to the conclusion of the 2010 WTA Tour—enjoying success with eleven different partners. In 2001, Stubbs won the season-ending WTA Championships with regular partner Lisa Raymond and the pair were named ITF World Champions.[4]

Stubbs is the longest-serving member of the Australia Fed Cup team, having played for 17 years since 1992, with a 28–9 win–loss record in doubles; the second highest in Australian Fed Cup Team history behind Wendy Turnbull (29–8). She retired from Fed Cup play after the 2011 Fed Cup tie with Italy.[5] Stubbs played on the WTA Tour for the rest of 2011 mostly with Casey Dellacqua and played her last tour match at the 2011 US Open with Dellacqua. She then finished her career winning the World TeamTennis title for the third time with the Washington Kastles, her fifth overall WTT title.

Broadcasting

edit

Stubbs transitioned from her playing days immediately into a successful television career as a commentator and host for TV Networks including, ESPN, Tennis Channel and Channel Seven Australia and as the host of her own sports show, The Power Hour on Amazon in 2024. She also worked as the lead female analyst at the 2012 London the 2016 Rio and the 2020 Tokyo and the Paris Olympics for NBC . She is currently hosting the Pod "The French Connection" with Sam Querrey for NBC Sports and Racquet.

In 2022, Embassy Row announced that Stubbs will host The Power Hour on Amazon Prime Video.[6] On November 14, 2022, Stubbs made her debut on The Power Hour.[7]

Coaching

edit

From August 2018 until spring 2019, Stubbs was coach of Karolína Plíšková.[8] Stubbs subsequently was added to the coaching team of Samantha Stosur. Originally, she was only expected to finish out the 2019 season with Stosur, however, given Stosur's success at the end of 2019, the pair decided to continue on in 2020, starting in Australia. With Stubbs as her coach, Stosur won a Grand Slam, the 2021 U.S. Open doubles, with playing partner Zhang Shuai. Stubbs also coached Genie Bouchard throughout 2020 where Bouchard improved her ranking from 330 to 120 on the WTA rankings.

For the 2022 US Open, Stubbs was the coach for Serena Williams as she contested her final grand slam tournament. Williams lost in the third round.
