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.

They kick things off with a hilarious story from a team happy hour that revealed Tawny’s stunning new look, proving that the biggest surprises happen off the court.

Then, they get into the nitty-gritty of on-court controversies, breaking down the confusing rules around double bounces and whether you can ever really trust a player to call one on themselves. Melanie shares a story about a heated "tipped ball" dispute from her latest match, and Tawny recounts "Grunt-Gate"—a real-life clinic incident where a grunt was mistaken for an "out" call, leading to a deep dive into the official hindrance rule. It’s a masterclass in tennis etiquette, confusion, and why you should never try to have a conversation with Melanie while she’s hitting a ball.

Just off the court and straight into the drama! In this episode of The Real Tennis Dolls, Melanie and Tawny serve up the piping hot tea on the most annoying on-court behaviors.

They dive deep into the pet peeves that drive every tennis player crazy: from the non-stop "talkers" who strategize a little too loudly to the disruptive "grunters" who sound like they're in the middle of a workout—or something else entirely. The dolls also tackle the thorny issue of "bad line calls," debating whether it's simple human error or outright cheating, and share a wild story about a line judge who had to be swapped out mid-match due to Karen and Sue's relentless arguing.

So pour your matcha and get ready to nod along in agreement. This is the real, unfiltered talk about the gamesmanship, the games, and the grudge matches that make ladies' league tennis in Boca Raton anything but boring.
