Falconi joined the podcast world in August of 2018, just weeks before she stepped away from the pro tour. She was ranked in the 150s when her year-long hiatus began, and tells everyone why she lost her passion for the game. For the first time in her adult life, the 29-year-old had to find her identity outside of competitive tennis, figuring out what makes her happy like gardening, cooking and coaching.
About eight months into her break, Falconi realized she wasn't done yet. In July, she started training for a comeback with a completely reset mindset and newfound purpose. The former world No. 63 has played just four events since her first ITF in September, but has gone from unranked to No. 440 largely thanks to a semifinal run at the WTA 125K Series last week in Houston.
