THE TEAM

Welcome to Ground Pass.

We're Anastasia and Nick, and we make a tennis podcast for people who love the sport, people just getting into it, and everyone in between. No gatekeeping. No heavy jargon. Just good conversations about the players, the tournaments, and the culture around the game.

What started as a podcast has turned into something bigger. Ground Pass is now a full tennis media platform with tournament guides, on-the-ground coverage from stops like Delray, Indian Wells, Miami, Charleston, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, the Citi Open, and Cincinnati, a Substack for deeper dispatches, and OFF SEASON, our documentary series following pro players through the work that happens before the season ever starts.

Here's where you'll find most of it:

  • This Week on Ground Pass: episode recaps and what's happening across the tour

  • Guides: our tournament guides, draws, and fan experience breakdowns

  • Views From the Grounds: photos and dispatches from the tournaments we cover on-site

  • Ground Pass on Substack: on-site coverage, weekly digests, and the stuff that doesn't make the podcast

  • Shop: limited-run Ground Pass merch

Thanks for being here. See you on the grounds.
