    Tennis Has a Super Bowl. Why Doesn’t It Feel Like One?
    Oct 19 2026
    The ATP and WTA Finals bring the eight best players in the world together at the end of the season. Anastasia Folorunso and Ian Mondul talk about how players qualify, how the race differs from the rankings, how the round robin and tiebreak rules work, and why Anastasia thinks simplifying tennis for new fans is the wrong move.Then they talk about why the Finals aren't a bigger event. Ian wants the tours to stop for two weeks beforehand and spend that time on the eight players. Anastasia wants the race talked about from January. They also go through where the WTA and ATP races stood when they recorded on October 18.Next up is Rafael Jódar: his first season as a pro, his year of college tennis, the ball-kid incident in Shanghai and his apology, and Anastasia's three interviews with him this year. Anastasia makes her pitch for Jódar as the rival tennis needs. Ian isn't fully sold.To finish, Matej Dodig, a former top 200 pro, has signed with Texas. Ian asks whether pros should be taking college roster spots.Ground Pass is a tennis podcast for curious newcomers and longtime fans alike.In the Realm of Perfection: McEnroe documentary - https://tubitv.com/movies/684798/john-mcenroe-in-the-realm-of-perfection?utm_source=web_share&utm_medium=Share&utm_campaign=copy_link&utm_content=title_detail_page Valarie Camillo interview on Served - https://youtu.be/Fohc1DwBZ3g?si=jvafJiPWOTwrizw3 Chapters:00:00 Intro and movie chat07:09 Part 1 - End of Year Finals - Why should you care11:45 Does the WTA and ATP Finals Structure make it hard to promote?23:20 Location, Location and how important its is to the Finals27:14 How would we fix the End of Year Finals33:40 Who is in and who is out of the Finals?42:52 Part 2 - The Tennis News of the Week43:20 Sonay Kartal and Maja Chawalinska played the perfect final47:32 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Rafa Jodar play the all Spanish Final55:33 Rafa Jodar's villain origin story01:04:49 The Six King Slam is off and Alcaraz, Djokovic and Fritz are not taking the week off01:07:12 Joao Fonseca and Eva Lys are the recent players to end their season early01:09:29 Part 3 - This Week in Tennis01:14:48 A Bit of College Tennis Drama01:19:16 Outro💬 Thank you for Listening.Leave us a 5⭐️ star rating and drop us a comment we would love to hear from you.For Bonus Content and find out what tournament we are off to next, subscribe to our free newsletter - https://groundpass.substack.comTo Support Ground Pass - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/supportShop the Ground Pass Merch - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/shop Where You can Find us Online:Website - www.groundpasspodcast.com Email - groundpasspodcast@gmail.com Threads: https://www.threads.net/@ground_pass Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/groundpass.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ground_pass Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@GroundPass TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@groundpasspodcast X: https://x.com/groundpasspodAbout Us: Ground Pass is a tennis podcast for the rest of us.

  • Coco Gauff Was Right. Medvedev Was Defaulted. Are Tennis Rules Fair?

    Coco Gauff Was Right. Medvedev Was Defaulted. Are Tennis Rules Fair?
    Oct 12 2026
    Tennis Rules can feel so subjective depending on the tournament or the umpire in the chair. Coco Guaff and Daniil Medvedev bore the brunt of these rules last week in different ways that could have been avoided.Check out our Newsletter - https://groundpass.substack.comThis week on the podcast we are looking into two tennis rules that dominated the headlines last week. Video Review and Ball Abuse violations were back in the headlines and not for the right reasons. Tennis rules can seem either obscure or subjective which doesn’t seem ideal in a sport where things normally land in the black-or-white column; here we had many shades of gray. Nick and Anastasia get into these rules, what they are, how they are implemented and if more clarity is needed.We also get into Qinwen Zheng winning the China Open, Novak Djokovic surviving, Jannik Sinner ending his season which means Zverev ends the year as number 1 and does having fun make Carlos Alcaraz unstoppable?Chapters00:00 Intro03:51 Part 1 - Know the Rules - How tennis complicates itself04:41 Video review in Tennis and how it changed in 202606:53 The Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev Case11:39 The Coco Gauff v Sun Xinran Case18:58 The fallout of the Gauff incident26:58 Ball abuse rule and recent incidents39:52 Part 2: The News - Qinwen Zheng wins in Beijing45:36 Mirra Andreeva is the New World no. 348:41 Carlos Alcaraz is back with a mustache52:25 Survive and Advance the Novak Djokovic story54:58 Jannik Sinner is out for the season59:21 Players of the fortnight - Arthur Gea and Nikola Bartunkova01:04:12 Upcoming tournaments and local events01:06:22 OutroLinks:Ground Pass Newsletter on Substack - https://groundpass.substack.comEurovision song (its real!!!)
