Because I run all of @ground_pass social media accounts I feel I am too online sometimes. But then I stumble on some posts and realise I have no idea what y’all are talking about. And I am glad for that 🙏🏾
Have a great week.

I love Belinda Bencic. There is something about her intensity and no nonsense attitude that I resonate with. Then I looked up her birthday and she is a March baby. Haven’t met a March baby I didn’t like.

Considering how long it takes me to edit all of our videos and podcasts this is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me online! It’s only the 2nd day of the new year! At this rate someone call the Academy 😭

So grateful to these players for letting me into their space for the off season. Can’t wait to share their stories.

Follow us on YouTube to watch the first episode when it drops.

Me just remembering that the Winter Olympics is in February in Italy and Hockey will be participating for the first time in a while at the games. So yeah this Heated Rivalry thing is going all the way to March. Strap in folks.

Heck this is all about the Battle of the sexes & goes into what we talk about on the next episode with regards to Heated Rivalry. Tennis “pundits” cannot seem to understand when something is just for entertainment. You don’t like it, don’t watch it. Not everything has to ”MEAN” something. Ugh.
“Oh my goodness this thing is really silly and we all really hate it. We should not be giving it oxygen.”
Proceeds to give it mouth to mouth resuscitation.
Y’all are funny.

Yesterday I delivered a @groundpass.bsky.social t-shirt(yes I personally deliver all local orders) to a total stranger. He said he was from Ohio, loved the design & was a ball boy at Cincy. He was buying the shirt as a gift for his brother
I didn’t know it yet but that’s all I wanted for Christmas 🥹

How this is the sort of popcorn tennis news I live for. The BTS of tennis is a fascinating place and I had no insider knowledge but I totally saw this coming. And if it wasn’t coming I had some serious questions about this partnership… I guess my thoughts were right 😏

Emergency pods are already dropping 🤣 That is how big the Juan Carlos Ferrero and Carlos Alcaraz split is. One of the most successful partnerships in tennis, officially done. We @groundpass.bsky.social will be over here watching it all unfold. 🎾

I don’t think I have been shocked by news like this in a while. Like but what happeneded?
Well this is shock of the Off Season! While we were all speculating on if Darren Cahill would stay with Jannik for another season, did not see this coming. Juan Carlos Ferrero steps down as Carlos Alcaraz’s coach. Wow! 🎾

Had such a great conversation with Nick McCarvel in July about all things tennis, his career and the advice he has for anyone looking to get into tennis media. One of my favourite episodes of Meet the Professionals! 🎾
From cold-calling the New York Times to hosting on court at Slams.
In the latest Meet the Professionals, I talk to tennis host & writer Nick McCarvel about building a career in tennis media, handling stage fright, and finding your lane in a crowded space.
New episode is live. 🎾

Forever grateful for all the support we get @groundpass.bsky.social would have happily made a podcast for an audience of 1 to talk about my favourite sport. The fact we have so many listeners is something I will never get over or take for granted.
Feeling grateful for this community.
All week we’re sharing Ground Passer photos and stories on Instagram. Each one about how they first fell in love with tennis.
Thank you for being here with us. 💛🎾

Some people ask where are you on every single platform. It’s not indecision. Just like meeting people where they are at. It’s not easy but it’s endless rewarding. Onwards.
Oh just realised we finally got past 1,300 subs on here. Thanks and welcome to the tennis and coffee corner 😅
We keep it easy breezy over here. Tennis is fun and we like to keep it that way. 🎾
