In this episode, Anastasia and Nick catch up on all the latest from the tennis world—from the red clay of Monte Carlo to the team spirit of the Billie Jean King Cup.

They break down Team USA’s surprising BJK Cup performance, share highlights from Anastasia time at the Charleston Open, and unpack the energy (and drama) of Monte Carlo. Expect a closer look at standout players like Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, recent coaching shake-ups, and rising American names like Hailey Baptiste and Bernarda Pera.

It’s a mix of insights, on-the-ground reflections, and everything you need to know heading into the next stretch of the tennis season.
