THE TEAM

Welcome to Ground Pass!

We’re Anastasia and Nick and we love sharing the stories that make tennis unique. On Ground Pass, we dive into tournament highlights, player journeys, and the moments that define the sport.

This site is where we bring all the extras:

  • Episode transcripts, so you can follow along or catch up anytime.

  • Tournament reviews, where we share our experiences from the events we’ve attended.

  • Photo galleries from the matches and venues we’ve explored.

Whether you're just discovering tennis or have followed it for years, we hope you’ll enjoy the stories we tell. Thanks for stopping by!
