Smacking Balls & Talking Smack with Shivani Davé is a high-energy YouTube series where tennis, comedy, and conversation collide.
Hosted by comedian, writer, and tennis fanatic Shivani Davé, the show invites athletes, entertainers, comedians, and cultural personalities to step onto the court for a unique blend of friendly competition and candid discussion.
Each episode features guests trading serves, sharing laughs, and engaging in the kind of unfiltered conversations that rarely happen in traditional sports or interview settings. As rallies unfold, so do stories about careers, personal journeys, pop culture, relationships, ambition, and everything in between. Whether they’re battling for bragging rights on the court or exchanging playful jabs courtside, the chemistry between Shivani and her guests creates an atmosphere that is equal parts athletic, hilarious, and unpredictable.
With a format that embraces spontaneity, Smacking Balls & Talking Smack breaks down the barriers between sports and entertainment, giving viewers a front-row seat to authentic personalities, competitive spirit, and memorable moments. From tennis enthusiasts looking for a fresh perspective on the game to comedy fans seeking sharp wit and engaging banter, the series offers something for everyone.
Fast-paced, fun, and never afraid to get a little competitive, Smacking Balls & Talking Smack with Shivani Davé serves up laughs, lively conversations, and plenty of smack talk—proving that sometimes the best interviews happen between points.
