About this episode
Anastasia is back from Delray Beach and has thoughts. A lot of them. This week, we get into why February might just be the best month on the tennis calendar, what it was actually like on the ground at the Delray Beach Open, and why the draw felt more like a 500 than a 250. We also break down Jessica Pegula winning Dubai, the WTA’s new Tour Architecture Council, the debate around getting rid of 250-level events, and whether anyone can actually stop Carlos Alcaraz right now. Plus: player clips from Taylor Fritz, Casper Ruud, and Coleman Wong on tour life, 250s, and representing Hong Kong on the pro circuit. And we have an update on what the OFF SEASON cast is up to as the US spring swing kicks off.Links:Off Season Ep 3 - https://youtu.be/K77vLeZhyho?si=Cwx2jn7oeG6Gl4Kn Ground Pass Substack - https://groundpass.substack.com/Ground Pass Shop - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/shop Ground Pass Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/cw/GroundPassPodcastChapters:00:00 Technical Difficulties and Weather Woes01:59 Delray Beach Tournament Overview09:52 The Future of 250 Tournaments24:39 Dubai Tournament Highlights29:38 The WTA rethinking their schedule33:20 Jessica Pegula's Consistency and Victory38:11 The Impact of Alex Eala on Tennis42:32 Doha: Sinner searching, Alcaraz unstoppable48:46 Goran Ivanisevic is back51:07 February: The Best Month for Tennis56:17 Upcoming Tournaments and Player Highlights01:03:05 OutroWe have Merch!!!
