About this episode
Wimbledon’s first week is in the books (almost), dominated by talk of rain, curfews, scheduling, and the queue. We highlight the big stories and top performers of the week – Svitolina, Eubanks, Berrettini, Vondrousova, etc. – and a few of the stumbles, including ADF’s shocking mental wobble against Rune and an unnamed reporter’s gaffe toward an unflappable Paula Badosa. We spend a good chunk of time on Wimbledon’s stubborn peculiarities and finish with a quick rant on Cirstea’s odious presence on social media. 0:35 Big stories in the first few days: Venus, Elina, Eubanks, Berrettini 14:35 “Congratulations on your win” … “I lost” 21:10 The round of 16 lineup and how we got there 33:20 Tradition!
