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.Favourite this podcast if you like our work :)SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel!Follow TENNIS AND BAGELS!Twitter/X: https://x.com/TennisAndBAGELSAndre:Twitter/X - https://x.com/RolembergAndreBlueSky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/andrerolemberg.bsky.socialVansh: https://x.com/vanshv2kOwen (BlueSky Social): https://bsky.app/profile/owensports.bsky.socialSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.
