Podcast Episode 4: La Decima, a Wild Fed Cup Weekend, and Sharapova’s Return

In the Episode 4 of the Tennis Abstract Podcast, Carl Bialik and I desperately try to cover everything going on in tennis right now. We start with Rafael Nadal’s Decima of Monte Carlo titles, along with the bizarre underperformance of the rest of the ATP elites.

From there, we touch on various highlights from the weekend’s Fed Cup action, including our perspective on Ilie Nastase and the Romania-Great Britain tie he so shamefully overshadowed. Finally, we compare predictions for Sharapova’s comeback–for this week, the clay season as a whole, and the season in general. With Serena out and Maria (and soon Vika and Petra) back in, the WTA field leaves us with even more uncertainty than usual.
