About this episode
In the latest episode of Tennis Weekly, Joel and Kim round up the Wimbledon Finals action, which saw Elena Rybakina clinch her maiden Slam Title and Novak Djokovic claim a 4th consecutive Championship on the lawns of SW19. With Rybakina sealing a comeback victory over Ons Jabeur, she has made history for Kazakhstan, becoming the first player representing the nation to win a Grand Slam. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic put to bed any hopes of Nick Kyrgios winning his first Slam by putting together a solid 4 set victory against the young pretender. Joel and Kim also discuss the Finals action from the Doubles, with Aussie pair Ebden and Purcell coming back from the brink several times to win the title in epic fashion, and Czech Champions Krejickova and Siniakova cruising to victory to capture their 2nd Wimbledon title. They also reflect on Alfie Hewett’s close encounter in the Wheelchair Singles Final, which saw him serve for the title four times but ultimately come out second best. The winner of Collect A Set is also announced! ______________ LOCAL TENNIS LEAGUES Our Wimbledon coverage this year is sponsored by Local Tennis Leagues, the home of friendly, competitive tennis in the U.K. With over 10,000 players already signed up, it’s never been easier to find someone locally with a similar ability to have a hit with plus get access to great benefits including access to the Wimbledon Ballot...
