Winning Wimbledon, and Still Being Invisible

Linda Noskova won Wimbledon, and we couldn't name a single storyline for her. Alex Eala and Coco Gauff lost and stayed everywhere. This week we sit with the gap between results and recognition: how a champion can go unnoticed, how one outfit can outrun a match, and why the players worth knowing sometimes slip right past casual fans. Plus the last Brit standing, a shakeup on the Lost Boys list, and the WTA Finals landing somewhere you can actually afford. If tennis fame confuses you, this one's for you.Links:Pick up your Summer shirt here - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/shop Interview with Naomi Osaka’s creative director - https://open.substack.com/pub/groundpass/p/how-naomi-osakas-kill-bill-kimono?r=47h9qh&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer Ellie Majelly on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elliemajelly Tournament guide link - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/tournament-guidesChapters00:00 Intro - and twinning accidentally02:02 Wimbledon Recap - starting with an apology03:07 Alex Eala has the best fans and Bad Bunny Concerts08:45 Naomi Osaka's breakout Wimbledon12:53 Iva Jovic is baby Pegula20:13 Coco Gauff v Muchova was the best match22:02 Who is Linda Noskova?34:10 Was the Men's tournament a dud35:18 Athur Fery's fairytale run39:29 Felix Auger-Aliassime on the rise46:18 Jannik Sinner Wins Wimbledon51:54 Cruz Hewitt and Junior tennis55:06 Hall of Fame Open - James Watt wins in doubles57:17 WTA Finals coming to Indian Wells59:40 Coming up next on Ground Pass01:05:20 Whoops - Player of the Fortnight!!!!💬 Don’t forget to give us a leave is a 5 ⭐️ rating and drop us a comment Want to Support Ground Pass - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/supportGround Pass Shop - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/shop Where You can Find us Online:Substack - https://groundpass.substack.com Website - www.groundpasspodcast.com Email - [email protected] Threads: https://www.threads.net/@ground_pass Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/groundpass.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ground_pass Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@GroundPass TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@groundpasspodcast X: https://x.com/groundpasspodDisclaimer: This video does not contain a paid for advertisement.
