Rennae and Andrea snag a few moments between hits to discuss some of the shocking (and not-so-shocking) first round exits, including Coco Gauff's loss to Yastremska, Zverev's five-setter (and mentality issues) as well as Fabio Fognini Fabio Fognining everywhere, like Lord of the Rings. Are Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz the Tik Tok versions of Federer & Nadal?

Our very special pre-Wimbledon episode features a chat about the Chad of tennis, Carlos Alcaraz and the controlled chaos of Alexander Bublik on grass.

Grass demands an astonishing interplay of explosive power and grace: a balance all four athletes masterfully display; a spectacle for the eyes. Call it a flight, a dance, or “just” a rally, these images celebrate the spectacle of footwork on tennis’s classiest courts: West Kensington’s Queen’s.
