Ground Pass On Site, powered by you
Sharing is caring—and we care. Ground Pass is going free, but we need your help.
We’re back on the road for what we call the US Summer Swing, a run of tournaments leading up to the US Open, and we’re relaunching Ground Pass On Site with a fresh focus:
More stories, more access, and more ways to follow the tour up close—completely free.
That’s right: we’re making Ground Pass On Site free for everyone.
But to keep it going, we need your help.
🎾 Why we’re going free—and how you can support
We want anyone to be able to follow along, plan their own tennis trip, and feel part of the tennis-going community, no matter their budget. But this kind of coverage takes time, travel, gear, and a lot of behind-the-scenes effort.
If you love what we’re doing, or want to see more of it, you can help by becoming a paid subscriber. You’ll be directly funding indie tennis journalism from the ground up.

We quietly soft-launched this new phase last week in Newport at the Hall of Fame Open; our first stop back after an extended break since Charleston. If you missed it, you can catch up on all three days from Newport right now on the homepage.
In fact, we’ve made it easy to browse by tournament. Head to the homepage tab to explore every event we’ve covered so far—complete with daily video diaries, photos, and tips.
Next stop: the Citi Open 🎾
We’re heading to the Citi Open this weekend and will be reporting live from the grounds—bringing you match moments, behind-the-scenes stories, and tips for anyone thinking about attending.
You can check out our full tournament guide here.
This year’s player field includes Naomi Osaka, Venus Williams, Taylor Fritz, and Nick Kyrgios, and we can’t wait to show you what it’s like to experience it all up close.
After that, we’re off to explore the brand-new grounds at the Cincinnati Open—another stop on the Summer Swing, and one we’re especially excited to cover.
Your court side guide starts here
We want Ground Pass On Site to be the best companion for anyone who loves pro tennis—and wants to experience it live. You don’t need VIP access to have a great time. With a ground pass and the right tips, you’re in for something unforgettable.
Thanks for being here. Thanks for reading. And thanks for building this with us.
