About this listen
The rulebook is out and the grievances are in! In this episode of The Real Tennis Dolls, Melanie and Tawny dive into Part 2 of their series on tennis drama. They kick things off with a hilarious story from a team happy hour that revealed Tawny’s stunning new look, proving that the biggest surprises happen off the court.
Then, they get into the nitty-gritty of on-court controversies, breaking down the confusing rules around double bounces and whether you can ever really trust a player to call one on themselves. Melanie shares a story about a heated "tipped ball" dispute from her latest match, and Tawny recounts "Grunt-Gate"—a real-life clinic incident where a grunt was mistaken for an "out" call, leading to a deep dive into the official hindrance rule. It’s a masterclass in tennis etiquette, confusion, and why you should never try to have a conversation with Melanie while she’s hitting a ball.
