We’re talking Davis Cup fixes, Italy’s rise, the Alcaraz home-museum energy, and a little Rafa excitement for 2026.
Plenty happening in this week’s episode. 🎾
That’s awesome. I think we need to be better about this to help at least people who follow us. Maybe start a thread at the start of every tournament to have people drop where/how they are watching to help each other out. Shouldn’t be this hard but maybe we can help.

#DavisCup Review in the can!
Just 2 more episodes to record (our year end review shows) before we head off to the Maldives 👀
But don’t worry we won’t be missing a week. We have so many cool episodes already recorded for you ✌🏾🎾
So this marks the start of the Off season for us. Loads of off season content coming your way don’t worry.
Starting with recording our Davis Cup review today. Will be out as usual tomorrow morning.
#DavisCup 🎾
What a match! Team Italy has done it again. Winning Davis Cup for a 3rd time in a row. Incredible performance from Team Spain getting to the finals. Wish more people would watch this.
#DavisCup 🎾
This is the sort of Davis Cup Final you want. Cobolli really stepping up to the plate for Italy. 😮💨 To a 3rd deciding set we go. This is great but who else really still wants a doubles match today 👀🫣🙋🏾♀️
#DavisCup 🎾
Matteo Berretini does his bit for team Italy. He really does come alive at #DavisCup. 🎾
Up next is Cobolli v Munar. Can Spain get this to the deciding doubles? Would love to see it.
Oh just realised we finally got past 1,300 subs on here. Thanks and welcome to the tennis and coffee corner 😅
We keep it easy breezy over here. Tennis is fun and we like to keep it that way. 🎾
Probably why most federations need to study the Italian model and get more players ranked higher. I mean I guess they could have brought Martin Landaluce but he is a baby. Don’t get me started on US Davis Cup team. I am still upset over Delray and it’s been 2 months 😔

Here is the link to the interview. There are also prize money implications with these picks. ADF wanting to be first pick over the players that actually got Spain to the Finals is a bit rich. And what was Ferrer supposed to do, pick Him over Alcaraz…
youtu.be/mIFuKd58zxY?...
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Alcaraz pulled of the qualifying after US Open but he won USO. ADF lost in the second round. Too fatigued to play qualifying but you want to roll up to the Finals. Please.
22.11.2025 19:26 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Ferrer gave an interview to Spanish TV, I’ll try and find the link, he ask ADF to play in qualifying twice and both times he pulled out last minute and one of those times was for the tie after the US Open where he says he was “fatigued” and then went on to play and ATP tour even instead… so…

The true MVPs of #DavisCup 2025! 🎾
Team Spain - Jaume, Pablo, Marcel, Pedro. Lead by David Ferrer they have done the improbable. Starting from qualifying to the finals of the Finals. It’s going to be a fun match tomorrow against Team Italy.
Please tune in to next weeks episode of the pod as I get on my soap box to defend Ferrer. 😅
Because why everyone is talking ADF’s side in this is wild. Safe to say I can almost guarantee they wouldn’t make it to the finals with him on the team. How easy we forget Wimbledon 2023 👀
Did David Ferrer decide to play with one less player or did one player throw a fit and act like a child. I am going to take David Ferrer side on this one. 😏
22.11.2025 18:11 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0We are getting a Sincaraz Final without Sincaraz! This is tennis in 2025 😅
#DavisCup 🎾
Pablo Carreno Busta wins the first match in the tie between Spain and Germany. Coming back from 6-1 down in the 2nd set tie break to win in straights! This Spanish team are one win away from possibly making it to the Finals 👀
#DavisCup Unreal! 🎾
VAMOS!
For the FIRST time in 6 years Spain makes the semifinals of the Davis Cup! Without Alcaraz, without ADF. With a team filled with spirit and belief. How can you not love sport?!? How can you not love Davis Cup!
#DavisCup 🎾
Babes! Davis Cup is Davis Cupping!!!!!!!
Spain takes the first set in the deciding set doubles against Czechia. They were down set point and fought back. Who needs coffee when you’ve go this!
#DavisCup 🎾
Can’t tell you how much I love this Spanish team. No Alcaraz, no ADF just some awesome tennis and a dream. They got here without their top players and are trying to win this thing without them too. And Jaume Munar, what a year! Most improved.

Spending the next few days working on the Ground Pass Store getting it ready for the big holiday sale next week. Adding photos of Groundpaasers in their merch and maybe some special things to pre-order 👀

Yes. I remember too. Was thinking Alcaraz would stay and do that too but when you have been away from home as much as he has I can imagine cheering from home is preferable
