We recorded a year in review podcast episode, but we had to release it in parts. Rennae and guest host (and cultural attaché) Andrea Petkovic rigorously dissect the year that was 2023 for the women—who was two break points away from a title, who started terribly but turned it around? Who needs a better coach? As you might imagine, nobody is spared.

The court provided the ideal flat land in what is an otherwise hilly terrain, then quite densely forested.
“Strategically, one of the things that neither London nor Washington had ever believed would be possible,” says writer and historian Dr. Robert Lyman, “all came about because of Kohima, because of this remarkable tennis court. It’s one of the most extraordinary battles in human history.”
