Live from Wimbledon preview and punchy predictions

Live from Wimbledon preview and punchy predictions

It’s Wimbledon Eve and Catherine, Matt and David are live from the grounds to get hyped.

In Part 1 we catch up with some more press conferences, including a cautiously optimistic Iga Swiatek, coming off a decent week in Bad Homburg, and the player that beat her there in the final, Jessica Pegula. What do we think about their prospects at Wimbledon? There’s also news from Madison Keys, and David details his exchange with Naomi Osaka about recent comments by her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, on the “lack of stars” in women’s tennis. There’s also word on Joao Fonseca who is delighted to be here and Eastbourne champion Taylor Fritz.

In Part 2 (27m58s) we discuss that order of play in more detail, running through the full schedule of matches and looking ahead particularly to Sabalenka vs Branstine, Rinderknech vs Zverev, and Fonseca vs Fearnley.

In Part 3 (47m22s) there’s a teaser for the bonus show for Friends of the Podcast, “TTP Meets”, our exclusive interviews with Alexander Bublik, Matteo Berrettini, Hailey Baptiste, Ons Jabeur, Beatriz Haddad Maia and Marketa Vondrousova, before we dive into questions from the live chat.
