About this episode
Ben and Tumaini reunite the morning after the Wimbledon Ball to discuss the champions who danced together after dancing alone atop their respective draws, Barbora Krejcikova and Carlos Alcaraz. We discuss what makes Krejcikova so good ( with an assist from Andrea Petkovic ), where she goes from here, and the state of the top of the women's game after this result. After debuting an original song by NCR's bard Dan Bern, we turn to the men's champion Carlos Alcaraz, who delivered a decisive domination of Djokovic that clarifies their respective places in men's tennis right now. Is Alcaraz the best player in the world right now? And can Djokovic still win another major someday? Also, exciting news of an upcoming show for our Patreon backers is (sorta) revealed. Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running as of this week to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR ! And we especially thank our GOAT backers: Pam Shriver, Jean Simeon, and J. O'D.
