Wimbledon Day 13 - Djokovic Is Back In The Big-Time; Mental Health In Tennis Discussed

Novak Djokovic has been through some dark times over the past couple of years, but his 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 win over Kevin Anderson in the Wimbledon final proved that he is very much back in the big time. Afterwards, Tennis Podcast presenter David Law was joined by Charlie Eccleshare of the Telegraph to look back on a final that didn't get going until set three, and ultimately proved a step too far for Anderson. Just how good was Djokovic? Where does this leave him for the US Open in a few weeks time? And how many more can Djokovic win? The Tennis Podcast team give their views. As the subject of the men's doubles championships is covered, and the transition from junior tennis to senior success discussed, conversation takes a more troubling turn when the subject of player mental health is brought up. Eccleshare and Law have both discussed the issue with players that have struggled, and those struggles are detailed on the show. The Tennis Podcast is uploaded weekly throughout the year and daily at the Grand Slam tournaments. It is produced in associated with Telegraph Sport and sponsored by Amazon Prime Video, the new home of the US Open in the UK. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
