About this episode
It’s delusion hours, everyone! So, it’s like every other episode? Maybe. We talk about each quarter and who is left in the Wimbledon draw. Miranda and Katie go all in with Matteo and call for an upset. We might also be the only podcast saying Chris Eubanks will win Wimbledon. We also ask the very important question, is Novak Djokovic a vegan or does he just do yoga? Either way, he’s probably eating Hubi Hurkacz. We manifest another quarterfinal for Andrey Rublev and Stefaniil. Then, we move on to the most important part of the episode, a game! We bring in a special guest (and resident Emil Ruusuvuori fangirl) to judge said game. We’re taking romance tropes and casting tennis players as the leads. Who is so desperate for a rival they’d have beef with a Ziploc bag? Who has a face that has never seen iPhone? Who has a forbidden, sultry vibe? Who would you want to be the last man on earth with you? We’d love to see who you would cast in these roles and which rom-com you’d want to read!
