Our little TeaPod - Talk tennis with Bems and Ace - covering the WTA, ATP and so much more!
This one comes with a warning label! In What's Tea, Bems kicks things off with a take so hot it needed a disclaimer, while Ace issues a stern PSA about the scheduling chaos at Hard Rock Stadium.Then in Matchpoint Musings, we wrap up the hard court swing with a quick Miami recap before sweeping through Charleston, Houston, Bucharest, Marrakech, and Bogotá, and previewing Monte Carlo in Dreams, Nightmares & Realities.Plus, just a taste of what's brewing across the rest of the court: in Doubles Trouble, we reflect on the ongoing struggle of keeping up with doubles (we're trying, we swear). Brand Slam brings big endorsement news for Jack Draper, while Court Couture is all about appreciating Tommy Paul… in and out of his kit. Networthy News highlights the WTA's fifth ACEing Cancer campaign, and in The Players' Box, the seats are getting extra warm. We close with Next on Tour, looking ahead to what's coming down the red dirt road.Slow courts, hot takes, you know the vibes. Enjoy x
We went to Indian Wells and have thoughts. From court-side moments to Miami week 1 madness, we're recapping the highs, the huhs, and the hot takes. Dreams, Nightmares, and Realities returns with our predictions for the second week of Miami. We get into Court Couture, The Player's Box, and yes, with Networthy News we're going there: the PTPA lawsuit. What it means, who's involved, and why this moment might just be a tipping point in the tennis world. Enjoy xEditor's note: We said no one has ever defended their Indian Wells title, but we meant no one on the WTA side has.
We had way too much fun at Indian Wells and forgot to upload this episode! So, this is a little late but here's our pre-second week look at the 2025 BNP Paribas open. Better late than never x
What don't we talk about in this episode!? The major takeaway is definitely WATCH MORE DOUBLES! But other highlights include Bems defending her favourite (currently banned) player Jannik Sinner, breaking down the challenges in keeping players safe, and Ace continues to spread the gospel of tennis for everyone! Enjoy xEditor's Note: Since recording this EP we found out that Venus in fact did NOT want a WC to Indian Wells lol and will not be playing in this year's tournament.
The girls are back! We've missed yapping so much and there was so much to cover! In this episode we touch on a little bit of everything with some matchpoint musings on Świątek and Alcaraz, a spicy Deuce Debate on Fils and Bergs, a stop by the Players Box ft.

It's Ep02 of Serving Up the (English Breakfast) Tea! In this episode we recap everything that happened in SW19.
Welcome to Serving up the Tea! Hosted by Bems & Ace two friends who fell in love with the sports as adults, and want to share it with as many people as possible.In this episode we dive right into Wimbledon and all things grass.Editor's note: We hope you love listening to our first serve! Believe it or not, we were a bit nervous recording this and want to correct some facts: Libema Open 2024: Bianca Andreescu beat Naomi Osaka in 3 sets in the quarterfinal of the Libema Open; while she did go on to make it to the final, she didn't make it past Samsonova for the title. Wimbledon's 2023: Marketa Vondrousova won the title becoming the first unseeded player in the open era to do so. She didn't come through qualifiers as mentioned and played 7 matches in the main draw to take home the title.
