  • GEM

    Absolute gem in the tennis podcast world. Hosted by the dynamic duo Eugene and Lucy, it offers compelling, intelligent, and often thought-provoking commentary that celebrates the achievements of Black tennis players across both the WTA and ATP tours. What makes it stand out isn’t just the tennis talk,it’s the cultural lens, the focus on representation, and the unapologetic commitment to amplifying voices that have long been underrepresented in the sport.

  • Shout out to them

    Love the diasporic love on this podcast. It was great as I got back to watching and playing tennis after quite a bit of time off. Eugene and Lucy are knowledgeable, funny, and relatable and they are often spot on with their calls on up and coming tennis players.
