At last year's BNP Paribas Open, affectionately known as Tennis Paradise, the aunties were present, taking in the tennis action, building community together, and enjoying the softness of a sport that has often excluded our identity and experience. Bond shares a similar sentiment, adding that there's a positive trickle-down effect: "When you see more Black women excelling in tennis, it naturally brings more of us into the sport, whether as fans, players, or industry professionals." Regardless of how or why, the aunties are enjoying their time together, expanding the notion of what a tennis fan should look like — and, more so, how a tennis fan should take up space.
