We’re Back! Kicking Off 2025 with our Australian Open preview & more Women’s Tennis!

In the first episode of Outwide for 2025, Stef and Resh are back and ready to serve up some tennis talk with a side of chaos and joy. Reflecting on the past year, they dive into how tennis has been their escape amidst the madness—and now, they’re doubling down on women’s tennis. Spoiler: they’re here to shift the narrative (yes, more WTA!).

With life updates, the rise of Coco Gauff, spicy takes on doping scandals, and all the drama heading into the Australian Open, this episode is packed with the kind of insight you didn’t know you needed. From Rafa’s anticlimactic retirement to high-stakes predictions for the upcoming season, Stef and Resh are all about the rivalries, the comebacks, and the future of the sport—looking at you, Coco.

Whether you’re tired of toxic men’s tennis drama or just hyped to see Naomi Osaka’s return, this episode is your perfect warm-up. So, grab a coffee (or a racquet) and join the convo—it’s about to get real on the court.
