Live from Wimbledon Day 9 - Djokovic keeps dream of 25 alive

Live from Wimbledon Day 9 - Djokovic keeps dream of 25 alive

On another late night at Wimbledon, Catherine, David and Matt react to Novak Djokovic’s remarkable final set tiebreak win over Felix Auger-Aliassime.  How did Djokovic pull this off? What was it like to be in the stadium? And how much will those five hours on court take out of Djokovic ahead of his semi-final showdown against Jannik Sinner?  Speaking of Sinner, we discuss his win over Jan-Lennard Struff and how much of a surprise is it that he still hasn’t found his best form this tournament.  There’s also chat about Alexander Zverev completing a four set win over Jiri Lehecka and a look ahead to his match up against Taylor Fritz.  In part two (41:10), we cover the women’s quarter-finals, as Coco Gauff beat Jessica Pegula and Karolina Muchova overcame Naomi Osaka.  How did Gauff turn that match around and clean up her game? Is it beginning to feel like the kind of slam that Gauff wins? Why could Osaka not play as well as she did against Sabalenka? And how will Gauff vs Muchova look on grass?  Finally (1:06:40), we look ahead to Wednesday’s order of play and the remaining quarter-finals. Who\s the favourite between Jasmine Paolini and Marta Kostyuk? And how will Flavio Cobolli handle not being the crowd favourite against Arthur Fery?  For ad-free listening and bonus content, Become a Friend [http://tennis.supportingcast.fm/].  Check out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.thetennispodcast.net/shop]!  Talk tennis with Friends on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Barge! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://tennis.supportingcast.fm/] Sign up to receive our free ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://eepurl.com/gbmzRX] (daily at Slams and weekly the rest of the year, featuring Matt’s Stat, mascot photos, Fantasy League updates, and more) Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://www.instagram.com/thetennispodcast] (@thetennispodcast) ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Live from Wimbledon Day 8 - Fery fires into the quarters

Catherine, David and Matt are live on the day that Arthur Fery became the sixth British man in the Open Era to reach a Wimbledon quarter-final, beating Grigor Dimitrov on Centre Court.  Where was the match won and lost? How far can Fery’s game take him? And why was it tough to see Dimitrov cast as the villain as Fery Fever swept SW19?  Fery will face Flavio Cobolli who played some seriously good tennis to beat a crestfallen Alex de Minaur. We discuss both press conferences and give a nod to Taylor Fritz who looked the business against Alexander Bublik.  In part two (33:25), we focus on the women’s event and re-do our predictions after the draw has opened up so much, particularly in the bottom half. There’s chat about Jasmine Paolini showing glimpses of her 2024 form to beat Alexandra Eala as well as Linda Noskova’s quiet competence on this surface. Finally (56:05), we cover some spectacular aggro between Jelena Ostapenko and Laura Siegemund, before previewing tomorrow’s order of play. Can Felix Auger-Aliassime beat Novak Djokovic? How much of a factor will the heat be for Jannik Sinner? And who has the edge between Karolina Muchova and Naomi Osaka?  For ad-free listening and bonus content, Become a Friend [http://tennis.supportingcast.fm/].  Check out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.thetennispodcast.net/shop]!  Talk tennis with Friends on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Barge! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://tennis.supportingcast.fm/] Sign up to receive our free ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://eepurl.com/gbmzRX] (daily at Slams and weekly the rest of the year, featuring Matt’s Stat, mascot photos, Fantasy League updates, and more) Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://www.instagram.com/thetennispodcast] (@thetennispodcast) ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Live from Wimbledon Day 7 - Will Naomi Osaka win Wimbledon?

On yet another dramatic day, Catherine and David were joined by Charlie Eccleshare of The Athletic straight after Coco Gauff’s victory over Belinda Bencic, just in the nick of time before the 11pm curfew.  Charlie explains why Gauff is his pick for the title, but will she even be the favourite in the next round against Jessica Pegula?  The main talking point is Naomi Osaka’s incredible victory over Aryna Sabalenka. How did Osaka turn their rivalry around to win? Where has this tennis been from her on grass? Can she now go on to win the title? And where does this result leave Sabalenka?  There’s also chat about Karolina Muchova beating Barbora Krejcikova to ensure another new champion.  In part two, we cover an irritable Novak Djokovic and debate where his level is at, David fills us in on all the drama that went down between Felix Auger-Aliassime over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, and there’s a play-by-play account of how Jan-Lennard Struff became the oldest first time Grand Slam quarter-finalist after some weird Hubert Hurkacz weirdness. As for Jannik Sinner, can he win this tournament without playing his best tennis?  In part three, we cover some beef between Henri Patten and Reilly Opelka as the ATP plans sweeping changes to doubles, and there’s a look ahead to the Day 8 Order of Play. Can Eala back up her win over Swiatek?

Live from Wimbledon Day 6 - Eala lights up Centre Court

Catherine, David and Matt were live after a couple of late night five-setters as Grigor Dimitrov’s feel good run went on and Alexander Bublik ended Frances Tiafoe’s hopes. How much regret will Tiafoe have after failing to take any of his nine set points in the third? And just how far can Dimitrov go?  It was also a huge day in the women’s draw as former champions Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina were both beaten. We discuss Alexandra Eala’s extraordinary performance to beat Swiatek and the impact of her win in The Philippines, as well as Elise Mertens holding her nerve to beat Rybakina. Who can capitalise the most from those upsets?  In part two we cover the rest of the day’s results, including Madison Keys beating Amanda Anisimova in her first match on Centre Court, Flavio Cobolli winning despite losing a 6-0 opening set, Arthur Fery’s fifth set tiebreak win over Zizou Bergs to keep British interest alive, and Marta Kostyuk’s best ever run on grass.  Looking ahead to day seven as the Last 16 begins, will there be any upsets?  For ad-free listening and bonus content, Become a Friend [http://tennis.supportingcast.fm/].  Check out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.thetennispodcast.net/shop]!  Talk tennis with Friends on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Barge! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://tennis.supportingcast.fm/] Sign up to receive our free ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://eepurl.com/gbmzRX] (daily at Slams and weekly the rest of the year, featuring Matt’s Stat, mascot photos, Fantasy League updates, and more) Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://www.instagram.com/thetennispodcast] (@thetennispodcast) ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Live from Wimbledon Day 5 - Osaka peaks for Sabalenka clash

Catherine, David and Matt were live at the end of Day 5 as a series of brilliant Last 16 women’s matches were set up.  We discuss the good mental place Naomi Osaka is in this tournament and whether she can finally trouble Aryna Sabalenka, whether Barbora Krejickova’s closing problem will be an issue for her against Karolina Muchova, how Iva Jovic doesn’t feel out of place in the line-up despite her age, and who the favourite is between Coco Gauff and Belinda Bencic.  In part two (32:41) we discuss Novak Djokovic’s entertaining win over Arthur Rinderknech, the room for improvement that remains for Jannik Sinner despite his best performance of the week, brilliant wins for Roman Safiullin and Shintaro Mochizuki, and a shocking loss for Daniil Medvedev.  Looking ahead to day six (1:02:35), will Serena and Venus Williams play doubles?
