Roland Garros 2026 Preview: One Half of the Draw Is Doing All the Work
The draw is out, Paris is heating up, and Ground Pass is back with a full Roland Garros 2026 preview. Anastasia and Nick break down a lopsided men's draw where most of the drama lives in the bottom half, a wide-open women's draw with at least fifteen real title contenders, and the section of the bracket where Iga Świątek and Novak Djokovic both drew the worst possible neighborhoods.We get into Carlos Alcaraz's grass-season pullout (and yes, that Vanity Fair cover), the players we're watching from the top of the field down to the qualifiers, the wild card storyline we've been tracking all year in Akasha Urhobo, and the first-round matches we're refusing to miss, including a bold upset call on Aryna Sabalenka in round one.Plus: dates for our McCarran Park screenings, how to join the Ground Pass crew in the Served Bracket Challenge, the launch of our daily Coffee Catch-Up newsletter for the fortnight, and Nick reading a tennis match report from 1878 that you have to hear to believe.Players covered include Arthur Fils, Mirra Andreeva, Casper Ruud, Linda Nosková, Rafael Jodar, Lilli Tagger, Elina Svitolina, Flavio Cobolli, Hailey Baptiste, Eliot Spizzirri, Frances Tiafoe, Taylor Fritz, Nishesh Basavareddy, Kaitlin Quevedo, Emilio Nava, Michael Zheng, Toby Samuel, and Akasha Urhobo.Chapters:00:00 Weather and Merch: A Warm Welcome03:19 Carlos Alcaraz's Withdrawal from Wimbledon07:47 Thoughts on the Roland Garros Draw Ceremony11:00 Join us for the Served Bracket Challenge13:44 McCarren park Screenings details15:14 Draw Analysis: Men's and Women's Perspectives19:27 Players to Watch: Rising Stars and Dark Horses34:28 Qualifiers to watch39:00 Spotlight on Qualifiers: Rising Stars40:46 Wild Cards and Their Potential44:13 Our interview with Akasha Urhobo53:10 Exciting Matches to Watch: First Round Highlights59:02 Roland-Garros Updates: What to Expect01:04:28 Tennis History: A Look Back [Outro]Links:Send us a voice memo: https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/voice-memoAthletic story about Alcaraz injury [Gift Link]: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7263807/2026/05/20/tennis-worst-injury-wrist-recovery-treatment/?source=user_shared_article&unlocked_article_code=1.klA.BuEf.htnlRpDbLNVVRoland Garros Draw: https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/guides/rolandgarros2026printabledrawsServed Bracket Challenge: https://served.bracket.tennis💬 Don’t forget to give us a leave is a 5 ⭐️ rating and drop us a comment Want to Support Ground Pass - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/supportOur New Merch is LIVE!!!

Rome Wraps, Roland Garros Opens, and the Book Bringing Sexy Back to Tennis
Rome is done and Roland Garros starts tomorrow. Anastasia is joined by Lucy Deuce for a tennis-friends-on-the-couch breakdown of one of the loudest weeks of the clay swing: Jannik Sinner completing the Career Golden Masters at 24, Elina Svitolina lifting a third Rome title and locking herself back into the top 10, and Coco Gauff fighting her way to a final the discourse swore she wouldn't reach. They also stop for a voice memo from journalist Hanlon Walsh on the ground in Rome, get into Gucci and the luxury-fashion-meets-tennis moment, and preview a Roland Garros draw that genuinely no one has figured out yet.In part two, Anastasia sits down with Edward Schmidt, author of The Open Era — a queer, mental-health-forward tennis novel out June 2 (June 4 in the UK). This conversation also kicks off something Anastasia has been sitting on for nearly a year: the very first Ground Pass Book Club. Links to pre-order and to the book launch at The Strand in NYC are in the show notes.Settle in, pour the coffee, this one is a long, juicy ride.Chapters:00:00 Intro00:26 Highlights from the Rome Masters08:31 Locking In for Roland Garros with Lucy Deuce12:28 Fashion Meets Tennis: The Gucci Influence18:30 Rome Tournament Highlights and Results20:32 Jannik Sinner's Triumph in Rome29:57 Elina Svitolina's Comeback and Impact on Women's Tennis35:44 Coco Gauff's Journey and Resilience43:55 Looking Ahead to Roland Garros48:52 Interview with Edward Schmidt51:53 Eddie's Journey into Tennis54:12 The Open Era: Book Overview57:36 Mental Health in Tennis01:02:14 Cultural Moments in Tennis01:03:22 The Impact of Social Media on Sports01:06:48 Representation in Tennis01:10:41 Coming Out in Sports01:13:46 The Impact of Representation01:15:36 Mental Health and Authenticity01:26:24 OutroLinks: Vanity Fair funny clip: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYSWSIzJap7/?igsh=bGxzbW5udmJ3bjRz Merch: https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/shop 💬 Don’t forget to give us a leave is a 5 ⭐️ rating and drop us a comment Want to Support Ground Pass - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/supportOur New Merch is LIVE!!!

Upsets, Gucci, and Doubt: Rome Week One
Nick is back from a birthday recharge in Wales and we're getting into Rome. Sinner is playing in all-black Gucci and closing in on the Career Masters at 24. Arthur Fils, Ben Shelton, Fonseca, and FAA are all out or struggling three weeks before Roland Garros. Sabalenka looks beatable for the first time in a while, Iga might be back, and the WTA field has gotten very wide open very fast. Plus housekeeping on the last day of spring merch pre-orders, our McCarran Park screening dates for Roland Garros and Wimbledon, an Off Season check-in, and our Players of the Fortnight.Links: Merch: https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/shop Mattia’s Meet the Player interview: https://youtu.be/5fEWXVYtYRI?si=6Lrh1hgBAdAC541x Hailey Baptiste Tee: https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/shop/p/off-season-tour-tee-hailey-baptiste-limited-editionChapters:00:00 Welcome and Housekeeping05:32 Two Week Masters are OUT10:03 The State of the ATP Tour17:58 Novak Djokovic's Return and Future Prospects21:11 Janik Sinner's Dominance and Historical Context25:53 The WTA Landscape: Surprises and Uncertainties31:30 Retirement Announcements and Their Impact on Performance34:06 Paolini out of the top 1039:31 TNT is back for Roland Garros Coverage in the US & UK44:50 Catching up with the Off Season49:16 What’s coming up next on tour52:20 Highlighting Players of the Fortnight57:11 Outro💬 Don’t forget to give us a leave is a 5 ⭐️ rating and drop us a comment Want to Support Ground Pass - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/supportOur New Merch is LIVE!!!

Hailey's Breakthrough, Sinner's Streak, and Rome on Deck
A mini pod to wrap Madrid and look ahead to Rome. We get into Hailey Baptiste's career-best run, Marta Kostyuk's unbeaten clay season (and the backflip we didn't know we needed), Mirra Andreeva's two finals, Townsend and Siniakova's doubles takeover, and the men's final that we, frankly, did not watch. Plus: why Alexander Blockx deserves more credit, the case for actually watching Next Gen, Ethan Quinn going full clay dog in Aix, and our spring merch is live (with a very limited Hailey Baptiste tee that drops out of the store May 11). Order of Play hits Substack right after.Links: Merch: https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/shop ATP Next Gen doc: https://youtu.be/Vwdq01RMD9I?si=HdzjlbrKhVlxeFDE Off Season Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/offseasontv?igsh=MWJhaHZ4ano4NWlpeQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qrRome Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@internazionalibnlLast Week’s Order of Play: https://groundpass.substack.com/p/order-of-play-alcaraz-out-roland-garrosChapters:00:00 Intro00:38 Merch Update04:48 Breakthrough Performances: Hailey Baptiste and Others11:48 Men's Final and Emerging Talents24:24 Other Bits and Bobs25:10 Rome Preview29:41 Outro💬 Don’t forget to give us a leave is a 5 ⭐️ rating and drop us a comment Want to Support Ground Pass - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/supportOur New Merch is LIVE!!!
