| To Grunt Or Not To Grunt - That Is The Question! | 19 sept. 2026 | 00:13:58 | |
Grunting in tennis is one of those topics that sounds trivial until you’re on the return side of a long, lingering noise that hangs in the air while the ball is still traveling toward you. That’s when “just ignore it” stops being useful advice and turns into a real question about focus, fairness, and the unwritten culture of a sport that often expects near silence. In this conversation, we dig into why some grunts barely register while others feel disruptive, how singles can amplify the annoyance, and why the length of the sound matters as much as the volume. A quick exhale on a stretch volley feels different than a full follow-through grunt that continues into your opponent’s hitting window, and that difference is exactly where frustration starts for many recreational tennis players. We are replaying this episode but let us know if you grunt! We would greatly appreciate a 5 star rating wherever you listen to podcasts!

| National Hit to be Fit Weekend | 21 mars 2026 | 00:15:18 | |

We’re joined by Michele Krause to share the vision behind National Hit To Be Fit Weekend (May 15 to 17), a nationwide celebration that pairs National Tennis Month with a simple idea: make the court feel like a party and make it easy for anyone to say yes. Think music under the lights, big group energy, and a format that welcomes the person who has never played alongside the 4.0 who wants a sweat.
