About this listen
The season is in full swing and the "Karens and Sues" are back in Boca! In this episode, Melanie and Tawny recap a weekend of fabulous country club parties, from live music and dancing to Studio 54-themed kickoffs. But then, they dive into the complex world of "friendlies"—those supposedly casual social tennis games. They break down the two types of invites: the fun, laugh-filled games with friends, and the "serious socials" where the competition is secretly fierce and every point feels like a championship match.
They discuss the strategic dilemma of when to try new shots versus when to play it safe, the importance of on-court intelligence over pure power, and the awkwardness of playing against future opponents. Is it a smart scouting mission or a surefire way to create pre-match tension? Pour your matcha and get ready for some real talk about the unspoken rules of social tennis.
