What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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!
