I have listened to multiple podcasts now on the topic of the WTA’s new rule requiring genetic testing to confirm player eligibility, and this episode was by far the clearest and best discussion of it that I have heard. The compassion you each have for the trans community shines forth and I appreciate it! Keep up the great work, please.

If you actively follow the tennis scene, are progressive, enjoy sharp and quick wit, appreciate thoughtful and articulate observations of any kind, and enjoy podcasts, this is for you.

This is just great fun, I look forward to each episode. I enjoy hearing about the fan experience of attending the events in person.

listen guys, I love the show, but if you’re talking about male vocalists, and Stevie Wonder does not come into the conversation something is wrong- do your homework: music of my mind, Innervisions, Talking Book, Fulfillingness First Finale… keep up the good work.

I found them just this past March and listed to every episode. I wish they posted every day, but that’s not realistic; so, I’m thrilled to take what I can get. I like that they don’t hold back on their criticism of those who deserve it. I appreciate that they cover topics that others won’t ever go near. Their personalities complement one another.

If you’re fatigued (as I am) by all the bro banter of other tennis podcasts (I won’t name names), this podcast is a welcome respite. Smart, funny, and engaged with politically astute and insightful takes.

I always listen the minute it drops because it makes me laugh and it makes me think! A must have for tennis fans!

This is hands-down my favorite tennis podcast!! perfect balance between deep, nuanced analysis and an easygoing yet engaging style. Every episode is well-researched with perspectives you don’t hear anywhere else. I like that it never feels like it’s just reciting stats. It’s also just plain fun to listen to. The humor is smart. I genuinely get excited when I see a new episode drop. must-listen!!!

You won’t care, but a Sinner die hard can only hear you call him boring so many times. It’s not even true, if you’ve followed all his Italian interviews. And he did show you he was innocent, he wasn’t the one using the “I’m too nice to cheat” argument - that was Nike.

This is one of the better tennis podcasts, which doesn’t hesitate to give their honest opinions about the players and everything about tennis. I love your coverage of all things about tennis, but the chemistry between the hosts is just endearing. Yup, you guys fight sometimes and I am very glad you are not showing only the flowery niceties. It comes off very authentic. The only thing I don’t like about the show is the interviews. Particularly the recent interview which you decided to do in multiple parts. Sorry, but they are not very interesting. You guys are more interesting than the people you interview. Please keep doing what you do. Have fun!

So interesting! I appreciate everything I learn every TBS podcast. This one is in a league of its own!

after listening to their latest episode, (french open 2025 recap), it is obvious that these guys have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. From literally verbally abusing Aryna Sabalenka to calling Zverev (I myself am not a fan of his) “inept” and “futile” the hosts of this podcast have no respect for the players and do not understand the mental challenges behind tennis. It is very easy to write up a pretty little woke tennis podcast, not so easy to lose a major in front of millions of fans and not blame yourself. Politics and tennis don’t mix y’all. Go listen to Nothing Major or Served to listen to a real podcast that respects the effort it takes to perform at the sport. Don’t waste your time.

This is a really great podcast that litigates tennis on a social and cultural level unlike any other podcast! I will say their actual tennis analysis is not great and they can be a bit negative, which they are working on BUT they more than make up for it with their sharp social commentary bridging the gap tennis, politics and everyday as well as fun pop culture tangents. Well worth a listen!!

Love the guys, love the snark, love it all. If you want a non robotic and non boring approach to tennis coverage this is it!!!

James and Jonathan are always cracking me up + I totally appreciate their observations on tournaments and players. Best tennis podcast tbh. I regularly check to see if a new episode has dropped

If you’re looking for a fun tennis podcast, this is the one. Jonathan and James cover current tennis happenings of course, but I also love the forays into tennis history, politics around the sport and the intricacies around doping cases. And once in a while, a dramatic reading. Definitely worth your time!

Love the tennis rants! I just discovered the secret world of tennis people from AO24 and WOW. this is my fave tennis podcast because you make tennis interesting and less detestable. Thank you!!!

I discovered this podcast via the Hana Mandlikova episode. These guys did a great job of researching her career using multiple sources. They didn’t just repeat the same old information. They provided facts with context as well as opinions that were both glowing and critical where deserved. They were very fair to Hana and provided an opportunity for learning about this remarkable champion. In short, they earned a new follower.

Been a long time listener of some other tennis podcasts and just stumbled upon this at the Oz Open trying to hear more about Naomi Osaka. They are funny and have a very progressive view which when pitched against the stuffy chauvinism of the ATP is nice to vent along with.

Couldn’t survive tennis coverage without TBS

Refreshing and nuances takes on the tennis tour. Lots of laugh out loud moments and brilliant commentary.

I learn a lot from this pod! I laugh a lot. And I hear so much truth. For serious reporting and telling it like it is - this is the best tennis podcast.

The Body Serve is the perfect combo of tennis information, opinions and humor. Not only are James and Jon well-informed tennis observers, but the way they seamlessly bounce off one another from one topic to the next is the epitome of easy listening. Highly recommend.

Enjoy your ramblings, but would listen just to hear Rafa say, “Thank you very much” at the end. 😍

I had listened to a couple episodes a while ago, but wasn’t a regular listener. I don’t know what changed, but now I’m hooked, and it’s the podcast I’m happiest to see with an update. I love all the tennis talk, the willingness to admit that they don’t know everything or maybe got something wrong, and the non-tennis discussions. I love their dynamic as a couple; there’s just enough bickering, while the love and respect shines through.

I love this podcast. I’m a fairly new listener. I enjoy the humor - not sure it’s intentional, which makes it funnier. Jonathan finally making it to the US on the 7 train and walking faster than most to the Tennis Center cracked me up! Continue being unaffected and brining us your (mostly) candid thoughts about all things tennis. P.S. I love the opening sound byte of Venus to start each show.

I love the conversational form of this podcast. These two gentlemen are so well versed in their subject - tennis players, their lives and the tournaments they play - and they traverse current and past events with ease. They’re funny, informative, comprehensive. What skill!

Oh Rocky!

Entertaining, political, fun and informative! Great chemistry between the hosts.

Long time listener to, cup sipper of, and tennis server of The Body Serve. As a child of Jamaica, my love of Tia Maria has led me to have a unique coffee liqueur driver. Room temp Baileys yes in winter. On ice on a warm breezy late night. The glug is awesome! To be fair, my mother is from Rochester NY! (West Henrietta!) - love!

The Body Serve is the gold standard tennis podcast. Whether your faves are on the upswing or winding down their careers, whether the tournaments are exciting or duds, whether we are loving life or struggling to hold it together during a pandemic, The Body Serve connects the dots, digs deeper, and elevates the conversation. My thinking is always challenged, I always laugh, and I always eagerly look forward to the next episode drop. I am so looking forward to having these two gentlemen at tournaments again, giving a richer and more nuanced view of this game that we love.

This is the best tennis podcast out there. These guys do an excellent job of telling the real story of the atp/wta tours. They don’t shy away from expressing their opinions about players, coaches and the current state of tennis. Look forward to it more than any other podcast.

Really the best tennis podcast out there. James and Jonathan are eloquent, fair, and accountable as well as hilarious, fun, and witty. Highly recommend, even for casual tennis fans!

This podcast is so entertaining that I am always surprised by how much I learn. I really appreciate the work these guys put into researching and preparing so their discussions don’t come off the cuff. But I also appreciate that their personalities and biases season each episode and creates a flavor profile that you miss in between shows. Love them. They are friends in my head.

Thoughtful, honest, well-researched, funny and topical. The best tennis podcast out here.

This is my favorite tennis podcast. Probably my favorite overall podcast. Jonathan’s and James’ insights into WTA and ATP happenings are refreshing and I’m constantly nodding my head in agreement. They bring humor, interesting timely information, and unique perspectives when discussing what’s going on in the tennis world.

These two are fantastic! I am so happy when a new episode arrives and have to listen right away. Listening to them is like having your close friends over; I talk and chatter right along with their conversation. If you choose one tennis podcast, choose this one.

Yes, there are other tennis pods out there, but The Body Serve is consistently the most entertaining and a must listen. It’s all about the natural give and take, the HUMOR, the educated and honest perspectives given. They are true tennis fans of both the women’s and men’s tours. James and Jonathan don’t always agree, which adds to the enjoyment—but they don’t feel the need to debate points to death. Diversity of opinion is allowed. Accept no substitutes for The Body Serve.

By far one of my favorite podcasts! Such a wonderful and insightful mix of tennis, pop culture and political commentary.

I’ve been looking for a tennis podcast and this show is excellent. Their nuanced take on the serena x Osaka controversy was very balanced an honest. They gave the audience a clear picture while being fair to both sides. I wish everyone took the time to look at the full picture instead of talking about hot opinions. I love how y’all dove into the history of everything. Nothing is ever black and white and this podcast gives us the shades of grey we need. Thank you for your great takes! - Justin (Polar Opposites Podcast)

Last episode was fantastic!!! Keep up the good work gentlemen!!!

Fantastic episode! Thoughtful and on point! I hate the tennis circus a little less this week!🤗 Thanks, Big fan... Congrats!

Fantastic episode on Zina. What interesting story and life.

So glad to have found Jonathan & James @thebodyserve. Love their authenticity, and their honest, often opinionated, always thoughtful podcasts. The work they bring comes through as a real labor of love. 👍👍🎾

Such a fun podcast. Such a refreshing perspective.

I really enjoyed this podcast! Monika is the reason why I start following and watching tennis. One thing that bothered me was your emphasis that she is not Serb even though she was born in today’s Serbia. You would probably not make similar comment for someone born in US whose parents are not American. I wonder, why did you mentioned this several times in your podcast. Is there a reason for it? I think there is similar bias that journalists do with Novak Djokovic which contributes to his public image. Maybe you can consider doing research and doing similar podcast.

Loved loved loved this episode. It was thoughtful and done with respectful consideration. More please!

Ok podcast but too much WTA talk. Most tennis fans don’t care about womens tennis.

This is a wonderful, highly informative, and humorous podcast on the topic of tennis. I'm glad these two hosts are not afraid to be transparent about their favorite players and other personal views. Where else do you hear such honesty about how a lot of people really feel about Isner? Thank god. They regulary highlight gender-related inequities within the sport as well. This is truly valuable to me. I excitedly look forward to a new episode every couple of weeks or so.
