About this episode
On the Mailbag, Gill Gross starts by recapping some Round 1 results from Wimbledon 2024, including Novak Djokovic's dominant opener against Vit Kopriva, Giovanni Mpetchi Perricard's big upset win over Sebstian Korda and Francisco Comesana's shocking takedown of Andrey Rublev. Then, we'll answer your comments, including: does Carlos Alcaraz's ceiling matter, what is the best dropshot placement, does Ben Shelton's game work on grass, was Frances Tiafoe wrong for calling previous opponents clowns, why has Marketa Vondrousova been hot and cold, is Iga Swiatek Gill's pick to win the title, which tennis tournament has the best food and much more. 00:00 Intro 02:30 Day 1 Comebacks 05:30 Djokovic Opener 10:14 Mpetchi-Perricard d.
