“If you’re looking for a fun tennis podcast, this is the one. Jonathan and James cover current tennis happenings of course, but I also love the forays into tennis history, politics around the sport and the intricacies around doping cases. And once in a while, a dramatic reading. Definitely worth...”Read full review »

“I discovered this podcast via the Hana Mandlikova episode. These guys did a great job of researching her career using multiple sources. They didn’t just repeat the same old information. They provided facts with context as well as opinions that were both glowing and critical where deserved. They...”Read full review »

“Been a long time listener of some other tennis podcasts and just stumbled upon this at the Oz Open trying to hear more about Naomi Osaka. They are funny and have a very progressive view which when pitched against the stuffy chauvinism of the ATP is nice to vent along with.”

“Hi guys! I’ve been loving all your contents since I found you during the Wimbledon Season (will most likely go to your backlist when I have the time)
I love your takes. I even like your stance on social issues and tennis court/association/players issues.
I love your character, personality. It...”Read full review »

“I do love it when you’re “spicy” (I say that ironically as a “spicy” Latina myself), but I appreciated your nuanced and thoughtful coverage of Aryna and related press issues. Also I hadn’t ever considered the privilege Americans enjoy when it comes to NOT answering, so kudos on that one, too....”Read full review »

“The Body Serve is the perfect combo of tennis information, opinions and humor. Not only are James and Jon well-informed tennis observers, but the way they seamlessly bounce off one another from one topic to the next is the epitome of easy listening. Highly recommend.”

“Jonathan and James comment on the latest in tennis from their own unique perspective, mixing their love for tennis with bringing awareness to racism, homophobia, misogyny and bigotry in tennis. And while they do this they are often hilariously funny.”

Jonathan finally making it to the US on the 7 train and walking faster than most to the Tennis Center cracked me up! Continue being unaffected and brining us your (mostly) candid...”Read full review »

“A podcast about judging other people and trying to shut them down because they don’t do and say what these 2 think you should. They are the moral high ground on everything. Not many players they haven’t had a go at (for hitting a net cord and not apologising) and stuff like that. Disagree with...”Read full review »
