Will Serena play singles at Wimbledon?

from The Tennis Podcast

Catherine and David are rejoined by Matt, who’s back from Chicago, to catch up on the week’s results so far and speculate about whether Serena Williams will play more than just doubles at Wimbledon. Part one (00:00 - 25:45) - We start with Wimbledon’s wildcard decisions. Is a spot being saved for Serena to play singles? Do we think she will take it? Is that something we would like to see? And why does it feel wrong that Dan Evans has been snubbed? Part two - WTA (25:46 - 53:00). We discuss Alexandra Eala’s brilliant win over Elena Rybakina, emotional scenes for Paula Badosa after she beat Coco Gauff in Berlin, and why this grass court season feels big for Aryna Sabalenka. Plus, are Madison Keys and Karolina Pliskova dormant volcanoes who are beginning to rumble? Part three - ATP (53:01 - 1:22:03). On the men’s side, are Tommy Paul and Alex de Minaur on a collision course at Queen’s? Was Corentin Moutet being funny or rude with his f-bomb heavy interview? And who’s going to come through a competitive field in Halle? For ad-free listening and bonus content, become a Friend of The Tennis Podcast.
