Ever swung a tennis racket while doubling over with laughter?

We volley through the comedic struggles of syncing one's menstrual cycle with their backhand, and the enigma of men's choices in tennis whites and black briefs. From the intimacy of couple's play to the hilarity of club socials, we spin a yarn that's as much about community as it is about the game itself.
Who knew that a league of "baby sharks" could set a new tennis record within the IRTCA? This episode isn't just about backhands and volleys; it's testament to friendship and the unexpected places you can find it. And if you think tennis could use more flair, wait until you hear our pitch for dance-offs and walk-on anthems that could rival any wrestling entrance.
Finally, we take a swing at the more serious side of things, discussing the importance of understanding menstrual cycles and hormone balance, especially for female athletes. Then, it's a respectful nod toward sportsmanship and the icons who set the bar, like Tim Tebow and Steph Curry, whose grace both on and off the field inspire us to mind our manners and maybe search for more creative expletives. Rounding things off, Caroline and Ashley embrace their respective imperfections with open arms, proving that sometimes, the quirks are the best part of the game.
