Tokyo and Beijing are already living up to my expectations. So many fun results to catch up on. Good Morning.

Can’t have too much of a good thing. The ATP has been lacklustre this year without our weekly Sincaraz Finals. But there are signs pointing to an awesome 2027. With a healthy Draper, Sinner & Fils, a surging Jodar & Shelton, and even Tiafoe building on results of this year. ⬇️🔗

It’s like watching brothers fight 🥲 But Daniil Medvedev wins against Andrey Rublev and adds a new city to his mantle. 2 finals before work! I’ll take it. Have a great day friends ✌🏾

Love a couple of finals with my morning coffee. Alejandro Davidovich Fokina wins his 2nd title of the season. After so much final heartbreak he wins back to back finals with an injury layoff in between (2026! 🤕) David Ferrer’s job just got that little bit harder.

Carlos Alcaraz needs Laver Cup. We discuss why the tournament is not only fun for fans but also the players participating in it in the latest episode of the pod.

Caught up on the overnight (for my time zone) Tokyo qualifying matches and well what an overnight it was. Damm Jr v Fils pretty much went as we thought on the pod this week and Kovacevic v Svajda was an all American duel. Oh to be in Tokyo right now 🥲

All I want from this week of tennis is an Alcaraz v Jodar final in Tokyo. Please and thank you.

Fritzy threw the kitchen sink at that one but Carlos was too good. So happy he is back keeping us on the edge of our seats. If this is a preview of Tokyo and Beijing I might be sacrificing some sleep to watch.

100% preseason in Vegas. 2 weeks at each slam. He is already travelling to them to commentate. I would throw every dollar at it. Alex De Minaur has looked a shell of himself all season and at Laver Cup looks like the top 10 player he is. If he wants a chance at AO I would get on that.

After last year’s Laver Cup I was so sure we would see Andre Agassi on tour at least advising a player. Didn’t happen. This year I am back at it again. There should be a line of these boys spending their preseason in Vegas. #LaverCup

I know I am like a dog on a bone but please explain why Brendan Nakashima (who would have been fresher) was not on Team USA for Davis Cup?! But sure let’s just pick the top 20 players who make it to the 2nd week of the US Open and are probably exhausted by Davis Cup. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Ground Pass Podcast - A Tennis Podcast @groundpass.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Just remembered we are getting Coach Andre Agassi back this weekend! The best part of Laver Cup last year, hands down. Would run through a brick wall for Coach Agassi.

Who would I pick to be on Team USA for the Davis Cup? I get into it on the this week’s pods because what do you mean Team USA has missed the Final 8 two years in a row! 🔗⬇️

Back to waking up to the last matches of the day. The Asian swing is difficult to keep up with for me and it will be especially harder this week due to my work schedule but will be keeping up with replays. Just watched Leylah Fernandez in Singapore, up next Joanna Garland.

Love this Spanish team. It’s everything great about Davis Cup. The qualifying again for the Finals in Bologna without their “best player”. Were the underdogs against Denmark last year and probably the favourites this weekend. But it’s a young scrappy team great crowds. #DavisCup

Stap it! That was an awesome 2nd set and great win by Sloane Stephen. Nice seeing her back in form. Really fun match point rally to win the match. Good Night.

Late night WTA Guadalajara viewing. Sloane Stephens plays a great set against Janice Tjen, with a rain delay thrown in the middle of the set. Don’t love that the tournaments in Mexico start so late for me but on late work nights it is nice to have. (Good primer for Asian time zone I guess 🥲)

Anyone see what attendance records were broken at the US Open this year? Writing an article but can’t seem to find it.

Our US Open Recap might have had a rant or two but this one was personal. It’s literally in our name. We are joined by Lucy Deuce to look back at the Winners and Losers and the stories surrounding this year’s US Open. 🔗⬇️

Taylor Townsend could have done the morning shows after the biggest achievement of her career but she has work to do & the tennis never stops. After getting the career slam in doubles she is on to the next, first win at WTA Guadalajara chasing success in singles.

What do you mean the WTA tournament in Guadalajara started yesterday before The US Open was even over and I am currently watching Taylor Townsend who just won the career slam v Tatjana Maria?!

Ended this US Open in the best possible way: - watching the finals with the community we have built, new friends made, tennis dates booked and enjoying this sport we love so much. Will be back on Tuesday for our #USOpen review ✌🏾

Elena Rybakina! World number 1 and US Open champion. What a match. She was cool calm and collected through it all and Aryna Sabalenka was not. After the first few games it was quite clear how this was going. #USOpen

Incredible achievement by Alfie Hewett to finally beat Tokito Oda in a Grand Slam final this year. Preventing him from getting the calendar slam. Their rivalry has been fun to watch. #USOpen

Chris Harrison and Neal Skupski are US Open champions! Ending their grand slam season like they started it. Incredible run for team who came together just this year. #USOpen Glad to have followed them through this journey

He is just going to keep working. Frances Tiafoe comes into press with a more positive outlook that I frankly expected. He is very disappointed by not making the finals but is happy with his consistency this season. The goal is still to win a slam. #USOpen

Bryan Shelton in press post match talked about how he got started in tennis and how Ben has been slowly building, like a turtle, to this moment. I actually got to chat 1-on-1 with Bryan Shelton in Dallas this year about coaching his son. Link in reply ⬇️ #USOpen

Ben Shelton a grand slam finalist… can he make history on Sunday? It’s is going to be a very interesting match. #USOpen

Worth the last minute trip down to the grounds. Phenomenal effort from Ashlyn Krueger & Robin Montgomery to make it to the final as wildcards. And awesome to watch Taylor Townsend complete the set. The tennis always wins. ✌🏾out US Open. See you at the finals watch party #USOpen

We go again tomorrow. Really excited for the Women doubles final tomorrow where the young team of Robin Montgomery and Ashlyn Krueger are going to try and do the wildest thing at this year’s US Open. Good Night #USOpen

Elena Rybakina is a happy camper. After a tough year last season, she attributes her excellent form starting at the end of last year to having a great team behind her. She also enjoyed playing on Ashe at night even though the crowd wasn’t there for her. #USOpen

Ground Pass Podcast - A Tennis Podcast @groundpass.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Coco Gauff reiterates how she will treat the rest of the season. Similar to what she did last year, during the Asian swing, the rest of the season is to work and try out new things for next year. The goal is always to win the US Open and it’s back to work. #USOpen

And we are ending the grand slam WTA season the way we started it. Aryna Sabalenka v Elena Rybakina 1 v 2 #USOpen

Ground Pass Podcast - A Tennis Podcast @groundpass.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

This reminds me of the match against Qinwen - Elena Rybakina brushes off a first set loss and hangs in there and takes her opportunities at key moments. She limped off court in Cincinnati, and is now in the finals of the US Open. Tennis! #USOpen

Ground Pass Podcast - A Tennis Podcast @groundpass.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Wow!!!! And I thought Elena Rybakina wasn’t even going to play the US Open. Tennis! #USOpen

Ground Pass Podcast - A Tennis Podcast @groundpass.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Nope. No straight sets here. Elena Ryabakina found her groove and we are going 3. But Coco Gauff has an excellent record after taking the first set… This feels like a reset. 👀🍿 #USOpen

Ground Pass Podcast - A Tennis Podcast @groundpass.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Aryna Sabalenka knows the challenge ahead of her no matter who she gets in the final. She talked in press about how she has had tough matches against Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina this year and is looking to get her revenge either way. 🍿🍿🍿 #USOpen

060

Ground Pass Podcast - A Tennis Podcast @groundpass.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Clean. Great first set from Coco Gauff to take the first set against Elena Rybakina. These matches are moving quick tonight. #USOpen

Ground Pass Podcast - A Tennis Podcast @groundpass.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Pretty “positive” press conference from Jessica Pegula. I always wonder how players feel after losing to redlining opponents. Pegula said there was probably nothing she could do against this version of Sabalenka who she thinks could have beaten anyone tonight. #USOpen

Ground Pass Podcast - A Tennis Podcast @groundpass.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Just incredible consistency and dominance on a surface. - Aryna Sabalenka has made the final of every hard court grand slam since 2023 Australian Open! Please read that slowly and digest it. 👏🏾

072

Ground Pass Podcast - A Tennis Podcast @groundpass.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

That is what I would call a statement! Aryna Sabalenka defeats Jessica Pegula in straight sets playing insane tennis. Everything went in. Clinical. #USOpen

Ground Pass Podcast - A Tennis Podcast @groundpass.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

So much can happen from here but Aryna Sabalenka is playing her best tennis this tournament. Chris Eubanks breaking down the patterns she has added to her game that are working is very insightful. #USOpen

Ground Pass Podcast - A Tennis Podcast @groundpass.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

SABALENKA! The cross court shot to get to triple set point 🤯 Insane. She takes the first set against Jessica Pegula. #USOpen

Chris Harrison and Neal Skupski are into the finals of the US Open. What a dream season this new partnership is having. Got to follow them at Indian Wells and the DC Open for Off Season. Can’t wait to share 🙌🏾 #USOpen

When I asked Gael Monfils at Indian Wells what he would be doing post retirement and he said finance little did I know I would get answers to all my questions as to why during the US Open on a fine September morning. Thank you @pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social @mattfutterman.bsky.social 👏🏾
