    Tennis Media, Explained: Who Owns the Sport (with Chris Eubanks)
    2026/06/28
    Why does the same tournament charge different ticket prices for the men's and women's draws? Why can you bet on a match you're not allowed to stream? And do you really need seven subscriptions to follow the sport? Chris Eubanks joins Anastasia to decode the tennis media maze from the ground up, no jargon required. We map the six organizations that run tennis, sort out which channels and app actually matter, and look ahead to what the sport could look like by 2031. It's a logistics episode that turns into a confidence builder. By the end, the messiness stops feeling like a wall and starts feeling like a door you already know how to open.Links:Financial Times Article - https://www.ft.com/content/abaa919c-4bc1-47e7-a785-8d468f219afe?syn-25a6b1a6=1Buy the last hat here - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/shop/p/ground-pass-tennis-hatTournament guide link - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/wimbledon-guideChapters:00:00 Welcome to Ask Chris...

  • The Wimbledon Draw Reaction: Serena, Draper vs Fritz, and a Grass Court in Central Park

    The Wimbledon Draw Reaction: Serena, Draper vs Fritz, and a Grass Court in Central Park
    2026/06/28
    The Wimbledon draw is out and it's a lot, in the best way. We react to Serena Williams' return, the round one shock of Jack Draper vs Taylor Fritz, and the storylines pulling casual fans back to tennis at exactly the right time.Then we get practical. We break down the Queue (a £33 ground pass and why we'd treat the wait like brunch), the ever-shifting way to watch Wimbledon in the US, and the real Wimbledon grass court that just landed in Central Park. Plus Ethan Quinn's glow-up from Clay Dog to Grasshopper, and Tatiana Maria's case as the Queen of Grass.Whether you're new to tennis or you've been here for years, consider this your friendly walk through the door.Links:Buy the last hat here - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/shop/p/ground-pass-tennis-hatTournament guide link - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/wimbledon-guideChapters:00:00 Welcome to Wimbledon: The Excitement Begins00:55 Heatwave and Its Impact on Players02:55 Merchandise and Community Engagement04:07 Voice Notes and our Wimbledon Tournament guide hub08:50 Serena Williams takes over Wimbledon15:14 Jack Draper v Taylor Fritz is a crazy 1st round18:17 First Round Matches to Watch24:27 Our Wimbledon Bracket (Served)26:06 Who to Watch at Wimbledon32:07 How to watch Wimbledon on ESPN38:31 Player's 15 min press boycott41:42 Results from this Week in Tennis43:32 Wimbledon Comes to New York48:38 Wimbledon Excitement and Upcoming Events50:52 How to Support Ground Pass💬 Don’t forget to give us a leave is a 5 ⭐️ rating and drop us a comment Want to Support Ground Pass - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/supportOur New Merch is LIVE!!!

  • Roland Garros 2026 Preview: One Half of the Draw Is Doing All the Work

    Roland Garros 2026 Preview: One Half of the Draw Is Doing All the Work
    2026/05/23
    The draw is out, Paris is heating up, and Ground Pass is back with a full Roland Garros 2026 preview. Anastasia and Nick break down a lopsided men's draw where most of the drama lives in the bottom half, a wide-open women's draw with at least fifteen real title contenders, and the section of the bracket where Iga Świątek and Novak Djokovic both drew the worst possible neighborhoods.We get into Carlos Alcaraz's grass-season pullout (and yes, that Vanity Fair cover), the players we're watching from the top of the field down to the qualifiers, the wild card storyline we've been tracking all year in Akasha Urhobo, and the first-round matches we're refusing to miss, including a bold upset call on Aryna Sabalenka in round one.Plus: dates for our McCarran Park screenings, how to join the Ground Pass crew in the Served Bracket Challenge, the launch of our daily Coffee Catch-Up newsletter for the fortnight, and Nick reading a tennis match report from 1878 that you have to hear to believe.Players covered include Arthur Fils, Mirra Andreeva, Casper Ruud, Linda Nosková, Rafael Jodar, Lilli Tagger, Elina Svitolina, Flavio Cobolli, Hailey Baptiste, Eliot Spizzirri, Frances Tiafoe, Taylor Fritz, Nishesh Basavareddy, Kaitlin Quevedo, Emilio Nava, Michael Zheng, Toby Samuel, and Akasha Urhobo.Chapters:00:00 Weather and Merch: A Warm Welcome03:19 Carlos Alcaraz's Withdrawal from Wimbledon07:47 Thoughts on the Roland Garros Draw Ceremony11:00 Join us for the Served Bracket Challenge13:44 McCarren park Screenings details15:14 Draw Analysis: Men's and Women's Perspectives19:27 Players to Watch: Rising Stars and Dark Horses34:28 Qualifiers to watch39:00 Spotlight on Qualifiers: Rising Stars40:46 Wild Cards and Their Potential44:13 Our interview with Akasha Urhobo53:10 Exciting Matches to Watch: First Round Highlights59:02 Roland-Garros Updates: What to Expect01:04:28 Tennis History: A Look Back [Outro]Links:Send us a voice memo: https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/voice-memoAthletic story about Alcaraz injury [Gift Link]: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7263807/2026/05/20/tennis-worst-injury-wrist-recovery-treatment/?source=user_shared_article&unlocked_article_code=1.klA.BuEf.htnlRpDbLNVVRoland Garros Draw: https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/guides/rolandgarros2026printabledrawsServed Bracket Challenge: https://served.bracket.tennis💬 Don’t forget to give us a leave is a 5 ⭐️ rating and drop us a comment Want to Support Ground Pass - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/supportOur New Merch is LIVE!!!
