·1 hr 10 min·5 clips

Anastasia kicks off a tennis fashion review with a surprise segment from new contributor Kaya Courtside.

This solo episode of Ground Pass is a year-end review focused on tennis fashion, style, and culture, hosted by Anastasia. She is joined by a segment from new contributor Kaya Courtside, who reported from the UTS finals in London. The episode also covers recent tennis news not previously discussed on the podcast. Anastasia begins by strongly recommending the previous episode featuring journalist Nick McCarvel, recorded at the Cincinnati Open. She highlights Coco Gauff's standout year in fashion, specifically her partnership with the luxury brand Miu Miu. Italian player Lorenzo Musetti's style evolution, particularly his adoption of more tailored looks, receives positive attention. The host plans to discuss Ons Jabeur's distinctive court outfits and their cultural significance. Novak Djokovic's recent foray into a new apparel collaboration will be analyzed for its stylistic impact. Anastasia notes the growing trend of players like Frances Tiafoe embracing bold, personalized patterns and colors in their kits. A memorable insight is the argument that tennis fashion is increasingly influencing mainstream streetwear trends. The episode points out how specific Grand Slam outfits, like those at the Australian Open, often set the seasonal tone for athletic apparel. Kaya Courtside's segment provides an on-the-ground perspective on player style choices during the high-energy UTS event. Anastasia observes that younger players are now securing major fashion deals earlier in their careers than previous generations. She finds the tension between traditional, all-white dress codes and modern, expressive designs to be a recurring and interesting theme. The conversation suggests that a player's off-court style at events like the Met Gala is becoming as newsworthy as their on-court performance. The tone is conversational, enthusiastic, and deeply niche, reflecting a host deeply embedded in tennis's stylistic subculture. The style is informal and review-oriented, blending personal commentary with contributor input. This episode is ideal for tennis fans who follow the sport as a cultural and fashion phenomenon beyond just the matches. Listeners seeking pure match analysis or technical breakdowns should likely skip this style-centric review.
