    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

    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.
