Welcome to unforced winners, the women's tennis league with bold shots, fearless swings, and unapologetic personalities to find the game. This is an about playing it safe-it's about going for that down the line, when or even when the odds (and maybe your foot work) say otherwise. But unforced winners aren't just about the strokes. It's about making the perfect shot when you never meant to. Whether it's a perfectly timed drop shot, a surprise, return winner, or a chaotic, but effective overhead, every point tells a story.

Meet the most notorious figure in your average weekday tennis league—the nonprofessional troublemaker who shows up with a mismatched racket, a questionable warm-up routine, and enough attitude to fill Centre Court. She’s not ranked, not sponsored, and definitely not consistent… but she is unforgettable.

She’s the player who argues line calls like she’s at Wimbledon, celebrates points with wild victory laps, and turns every match into a mini-soap opera.

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.
