We react to Serena Williams' return, the round one shock of Jack Draper vs Taylor Fritz, and the storylines pulling casual fans back to tennis at exactly the right time.</p><p>Then we get practical. We break down the Queue (a £33 ground pass and why we'd treat the wait like brunch), the ever-shifting way to watch Wimbledon in the US, and the real Wimbledon grass court that just landed in Central Park. Plus Ethan Quinn's glow-up from Clay Dog to Grasshopper, and Tatiana Maria's case as the Queen of Grass.</p><p>Whether you're new to tennis or you've been here for years, consider this your friendly walk through the door.</p><p><br></p><p>Links:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Buy the last hat here -&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/shop/p/ground-pass-tennis-hat\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/shop/p/ground-pass-tennis-hat</a></li><li>Tournament guide link -&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/wimbledon-guide\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/wimbledon-guide</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Chapters:</p><p>00:00 Welcome to Wimbledon: The Excitement Begins</p><p>00:55 Heatwave and Its Impact on Players</p><p>02:55 Merchandise and Community Engagement</p><p>04:07 Voice Notes and our Wimbledon Tournament guide hub</p><p>08:50 Serena Williams takes over Wimbledon</p><p>15:14 Jack Draper v Taylor Fritz is a crazy 1st round</p><p>18:17 First Round Matches to Watch</p><p>24:27 Our Wimbledon Bracket (Served)</p><p>26:06 Who to Watch at Wimbledon</p><p>32:07 How to watch Wimbledon on ESPN</p><p>38:31 Player's 15 min press boycott</p><p>41:42 Results from this Week in Tennis</p><p>43:32 Wimbledon Comes to New York</p><p>48:38 Wimbledon Excitement and Upcoming Events</p><p>50:52 How to Support Ground Pass</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>💬 Don’t forget to give us a leave is a 5 ⭐️ rating and drop us a comment&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Want to Support Ground Pass - <a href=\"https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/support\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/support</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Our New Merch is LIVE!!!</strong> Ground Pass Shop - <a href=\"https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/shop\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/shop</a>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Where You can Find us Online:</p><p><br></p><p>Substack - <a href=\"https://groundpass.substack.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://groundpass.substack.com</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Website - <a href=\"http://www.groundpasspodcast.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.groundpasspodcast.com</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Email - <a href=\"mailto:groundpasspodcast@gmail.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">groundpasspodcast@gmail.com</a>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Threads: <a href=\"https://www.threads.net/@ground_pass\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.threads.net/@ground_pass</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Blue Sky: <a href=\"https://bsky.app/profile/groundpass.bsky.social\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://bsky.app/profile/groundpass.bsky.social</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/ground_pass\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/ground_pass</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Youtube: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@GroundPass\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.youtube.com/@GroundPass</a>&nbsp;</p><p>TikTok: <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@groundpasspodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.tiktok.com/@groundpasspodcast</a>&nbsp;</p><p>X: <a href=\"https://x.com/groundpasspod\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://x.com/groundpasspod</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Disclaimer: This video does not contain a paid for advertisement.
