  • Serena's (Clay-Rena's) 2015 Season: 10 Years Later (Part 2)
    2025/06/14

    Can you believe it has been 10 years (!!) since Serena completed her second Serena slam in 2015?! We can’t. And we’re still not over it.


    Join us and fellow Tony, Serena stan and creator of the Tennis Watchers substack (tjc05 on Twitter and Bluesky) as we break down Serena’s 2015 tournament by tournament.


    In this special Clay-Rena Part 2, we talk about Serena's clay court season, including:


    • Serena's Vogue cover story about her friendship with Caroline Wozniacki
    • Her iconic battles (and arguments!) with friend Vika Azarenka
    • Her first loss on tour of the year to Petra Kvitova in Madrid
    • And of course, her wild ride to her third Roland Garros title, which included five 3-set wins


    Don't miss this fun breakdown with tons of random stories from this historic season that saw Serena truly become mother. We even get into her 2013 match with Sloane at the Australian Open. You can hear a short bonus episode about that here.


    Need to catch up on Part 1 about Serena's run to the AO title, her return to Indian Wells and 8th title in Miami? Listen on Spotify or Apple.
