  • A Wonderful Overview of Tennis!

    In the last year or so I have begun to follow tennis more closely and watch tournaments that are not just grand slams. I was looking for a good tennis podcast to guide me and I’m really glad I found this one. Nick and Anastasia really enjoy tennis and it shows through their episodes. I like the following of storylines as well as their explanations of how rankings and qualifying for tournaments work, especially at the end of 2025. Thank you guys for the work you put into making the podcast!

    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

  • Feel good tennis pod

    I think rolled up shorts look like diapers, too! Thanks for awesome outfit rundown- Anastasia - you are awesome. 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
