    Wimbledon Women's SF Review and Final Preview

    Wimbledon will have a nineth first-time champion in as many years. In the Semifinal line up, Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova played what was possibly the match tie-break of the tournament, with some insane tension, volleys, defense, and even a choke. Muchova goes on to reach her second Grand Slam final, again saving match point, after she came back from 2-5 down in the third set vs Sabalenka at Roland Garros in 2023 - But I am sure Gauff will be back and possibly even win the title soon. Linda Noskova quitely making herself into one of the best grass court players of this generation, winning the Berlin title, and, in terms of consistency and form, is the actual favourite for the final. She was all but too powerful for Marta Kostyuk, who displayed some of the brilliance and fight that is awarding her the best season of her career, but couldn't maintain a balance between aggressive tennis and good shot selection. The Final promises to be a fantastic one! The first time EVER two Czech players reach the final of ANY Grand Slam tournament!

    Is Doubles Tennis Really Dying? It Might, But Not Because Singles Is Better.

    Doubles in tennis has a problem, but it's not being boring, neither it's athletes being less good than singles tennis players. The problem is not even in the actual sport at all: as entertainment, it does just fine, and as a recreational activity, probably the majority of amateurs play in doubles more often than singles. Well, then, how come the ATP is killing doubles little by little? I'm afraid it's a systemic problem caused by the ATP themselves, and because of the years of neglect, it's not going to be cheap to save it. If there's an audience for pickleball, you better believe there's an audience for dobles tennis. Favourite this podcast if you like our work :) SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel!

    Serena Williams's Wimbledon Comeback Was AWESOME. Plus, Tennis Does NOT Have a Duration Problem.

    Watching Serena Williams back in her first singles match in almost four years was an amazing experience. She fought like she never left, hit incredbile serves, saved match point, almost went on to win, but ran out of steam in the end against Maya Joint. Nonetheless, it left the feeling that she really could do it. Will she try again, or was it just a one off for the good ol' days? Plus, Novak Djokovic made comments about attention spans in younger audiences, and how maybe tennis matches need to be shortend. I really needed to push back on that notion, because people hear these stats out of context and can't place them correctly. So, I am here to explain why shorter matches won't bring new and younger audiences to tennis, and why the attention span statistic is grossly misunderstood. We are not gold fish.

    Wimbledon Draws Preview - Suprise picks on the WTA, Sinner still heavy favourite

    It's yet another major, the third of 2026 and arguably the most important one in terms of prestige: Wimbledon starts next week. We got the draws in front of us and go through each of the 8 sections in both women's and men's singles draws, identifying popcorn matches, and key challenges for key players. Oh, and, for the time being, Serena Williams playing her first professional singles match in almost four years is still the more important topic. Can she beat Maya Joint? Will we get an explosive match against Filipina star Alex Eala? To finalize, no, we don't think Djokovic will get too close to that trophy again.

    The ITIA Stands for Sports Integrity. Is it losing trust in the public and players' eyes?

    Marketa Vondrousova has received a four-year suspension for refusing to take a doping test late in 2025. At first, the ITIA seemed to have it under control, the content they posted and their explanation made sense. But then, Vondrousova came with a response, and pointed out inconsistecies in the process and what seemed to have been a poorly executed visit by the tester. Whether or not she has a case, the biggest loser in this situation on the long term is certainly the ITIA's brand reputation. If we can't trust the International Tennis Integrity Agency, who CAN we trust? It's time for them to really step up in their transparency and communication strategies.

    Serena Williams gets a Wimbledon Wild Card! This is going to be GOOD.

    Serena Williams will be back at Wimbledon playing singles for the first time since 2022! At 44 years old, she played some really good tennis with Mboko before the Canadian injured her knee at Queens. This decision to come back and even play singles at the most well-known tennis tournament in the world is intriguing: what does she want to get from this? While it's practically impossible to see Serena winning Wimbledon, especially after her last win coming seven years ago, plus her age, I still can't complain. She will be back, she will be roaring, involved and full of energy in a way only Serena Williams can be. I hope for at least one win. It will be EPIC. I also talk a bit about how so many promising young women are making good progress on the grass this year, notably Berlin champion Linda Noskova, Berlin semi-finalist (l. Noskova) Alex Eala, and 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu. All players with very different styles, different career trajectories, but with great potential to make the next 10-15 years at the WTA be really awesome and competitive.

    Zverev is now a Grand Slam champion: Questions, Predictions, and Disappointment with the ATP.

    I was convinced Alexander Zverev would never win a grand slam title. I was proven wrong - but he needed mighty help from the tennis gods to make it happen. I have questions about whether this will translate into more success or if things will remain more or less the same. (If you want to skip the DV case discussion part, I talk exclusively about tennis from 16:32 until the end.) But, before the tennis, there's the awkward, sad situation of the DV allegations. He was cleared via settlement, which indicates neither guilt nor innocence, but he's effectively not charged with anything and has no record (as far as I understand.) But that doesn't mean the ATP should just call it a day on that: the lack of policies, or even any sort of acknowledgement of the serious problem of domestic abuse is simply disappointing. It's not about Zverev, but about a sustainable, robust standard in place to protect victims and hold their contractors, stars and moneymakers to a level of integrity that needs to be even higher than for doping cases. Once that's out of the way, I talk about where my attention will be directed in terms of Zverev's next matches, which I believe will give a definitive answer as to whether Roland Garros was a one-in-a-life-time chance for him, or if this win can unlock a new mentality for the German. Spoiler alert: I don't think anything will change, and he will continue losing to Alcaraz, Sinner, and whoever else will come up in the future that will become the next big thing. But, for better or for worse, Alexander Zverev is a Grand Slam champion. Favourite this podcast if you like our work :) SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel! Follow TENNIS AND BAGELS!
