    Really enjoyed your RG coverage. I personally thought the US Open night match between Capriati and Henin was one of the most compelling matches I have ever seen. 2003.

  • Loving Ground Pass

    Hello, just discovered the Ground Pass podcast, and I’m loving the subjects and questions that you ask.

    Many of the questions I’ve asked in my head – but possibly thought that I should already know the answer.

    Very accessible and not assuming that people have been to lots of tennis tournaments. When Nick said that he’d never been to the US it made a connection, as there must be loads of tennis fans who also haven’t been there.

    Really liking the mix of knowledge between Anastasia & Nick. Ke... more

Sep24: Love your pod- i’m a newbie so it’s very very helpful and not just helpful but you are inviting people to start following the sport- like opening the front door and rolling out a plushy welcome mat. And you’re not snarky and you don’t dwell on things you don’t like, and this is a good pod where if the results aren’t going the way that I want them to I can still listen to you... more

    I enjoy your approach on this pod. I loved Laver Cup! I watch tennis year round and look forward to the fast paced format of this event. Puzzled why some other tennis podcasters are so anti. It feels like they want it to not be liked? Thanks for asking and brava for your positivity.

    Counterpoint - I found the Six Kings Trailer cheesy. Though Holge Rune does look dashing in eye makeup. Just my POV! I do appreciate the heads up about it. Your experience in the industry is evident.
