This week on Ground Pass, Anastasia and Nick settle in for the start of the European clay season and break down a busy week across Monte Carlo and Linz. They get into another chapter of the Sinner vs Alcaraz rivalry, the magic of Valentin Vacherot’s run at his home Masters, and why Monte Carlo keeps ending up on every tennis fan’s travel wish list.
They also talk about Lilli Tagger’s breakout week in Linz, Mirra Andreeva’s title run, Billie Jean King Cup qualifiers, Holger Rune’s return timeline, Coco Gauff and the conversation around how athletes are discussed online, plus the latest from Ground Pass including the new spring merch drop and what to watch this coming week.
