And sorry I am not here a lot but I run all our socials @groundpass.bsky.social and edit the podcast and videos and write our Substack. AND have a job. So posting to my personal feed is few and far between. And really not my priority.

Babe we might look new here but we are not NEW to this. And the sooner you get on board the better it will be for us all. Because we are not going to "get bored and leave". Which I know is what you all think. This ain't my first rodeo. (2/2)

One thing I have learnt in my 3 years covering tennis is that the “old guard” are very afraid of the new crop coming into the sport. And instead of seeing what is working for the new faces in tennis, just dismisses them as “not knowing what they are talking about”. (1/2)

C- Not too bad, Not too bad. No matter how you felt coming into Serena Williams’ return, that was a fun match and the buzz around the sport is great. A win-win for all. We will be at Queens all week (and for the ATP next week) so follow along.

The news that Carlos Alcaraz missing Rome and Roland Garros due to a wrist injury coming just as I was wrapping up shooting with Eliot Spizzirri who has been out since Dallas due to an injury (elbow) says a lot about where the men’s games is right now. Maybe something will shift now.

Back in New York and boy did I miss it. Will be on the road again soon but already thinking of our @groundpass.bsky.social Grand Slam screenings. Last year was the soft launch but excited to go bigger this year during Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Stay tuned.

6 hours or less of sleep for 9 days is finally catching up with me.

Anastasia Folorunso @afolorunso.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

Was talking to Jessica Schiffer and lamenting on how little tennis you actually watch when you are covering a tournament, so was a bit quiet on here yesterday because I actually sat down and watch a few matches. Was a nice reset headed into week 2 at Indian Wells

I don’t know if anyone has compared Indian Wells to CES but I can think of no better analogy for the first few days of the tournament. I talk about what that feels like and share audio from my favourite moments from pre-tournament media day. 🔗⬇️

Anastasia Folorunso @afolorunso.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

My favourite interview on the grounds so far has been with Lilli Tagger. The great thing about coming to these tournaments it’s getting to learn about new players and Lilli has such a unique background. All the interviews will be coming to Substack soon.

Anastasia Folorunso @afolorunso.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

I can’t believe I am entering Day 6 at Indian Wells. It has been a whirlwind of shooting OFF SEASON running from interview to interview but it’s been such a worthwhile trip already. Can’t wait to share it all.

It’s my 3rd year at Indian Wells as media are words I just utter. It’s my first with Ground Pass Podcast on my credential. Something someone told me last year would never happen. Anyway can’t wait to show you all around the grounds. @groundpass.bsky.social #IBuiltThis

Speaking of OFF SEASON, episode 4 drops on Sunday. We ask the question - Can a tennis player change their shots? Chris Eubanks explains why that can be tough as we follow Camila Osorio, Eliot Spizzirri and Colton Smith through their practice. Trailer ⬇️

Spent the morning catching up on my F1 podcasts and they are all reviewing the new season of DTS. Made me feel bad for tennis fans that Breakpoint doesn’t exist. Then I remember I made Off Season They say make what you want to see in the world, so I am doing it.

Anastasia Folorunso @afolorunso.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

I get the value in the clipable moment let the entrances and hallways but the whole big bother vibe of it, zooming into people phone or the racquets smashing moments are invasive. There should be some common sense discretion used.

I didn’t have a podcast at the time but I remember the rhetoric back then. Where was all this energy when the cameras followed Sabalenka and she smashed her racket? Thr players need private spaces. They needed it then and they need it now. This is not a Big Brother house.

You know what I hate, when analysis is coloured by your personal preferences. Because it’s always the ones that call for “journalistic integrity” who are the biggest offenders. Clocked. Good Morning.

This is the stuff I nerd out about. I have worn an Apple Watch since day 1, I wear an Oura ring and have worn the whoop before. If I was in Australia getting to the bottom of this would become my entire job.

I have been around tennis players enough to know Eliot is one of the hardest working out there. This performance isn’t even surprising to me.

Sometimes I wish I could just care less but then I wouldn’t be me. Finally done editing and posting the latest episode of @groundpass.bsky.social It’s late but it’s good. Even edited in clips from press conferences. Look at me go 😊 Good Night

Anastasia Folorunso @afolorunso.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

…this year and that Spizzirri was a direct entry into the draw. Am I tripping? If people are listening to you for this information shouldn’t you do them the solid and get it right… Are the standards in the basement (2/2)

Anastasia Folorunso @afolorunso.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

This has become a trend recently but I have now listened to 2 podcasts covering the Australian open that got simple facts wrong. And I am not taking what was the serve speed of a forehand or whatever but basics like knowing Monfils announced his retirement… (1/2)
