Ben and Reem Abulleil chat about the big stories of the business end of Wimbledon, starting with the massive narrative potential of the men's final. Does Carlos Alcaraz's win over Novak Djokovic in the final represent a passing of the torch, or something less drastic? How surprised were we by this result? And how could this be a good thing for Djokovic going forward?
We also discuss Chris Eubanks and Matteo Berrettini, who both had meaningfully great runs on the men's side.
On the women, we discuss how Marketa Vondrousova went so under the radar on her way to a historic Wimbledon title, and how she ended the fairytales of Ons Jabeur and Elina Svitolina. How does her win change the look of the women's tour? And how do we process Jabeur's disappointing loss at the final hurdle?
We also look at the runs of Svitolina, Iga Swiatek, and toast the doubles win of Hsieh/Strycova.
Lastly, at the end, Dan Bern sings out the show with an original composition in honor of the mythical men's final.
