Episode 47 of the Tennis Abstract Podcast, with Carl Bialik of the Thirty Love podcast, takes a look at all things Davis Cup, including the early exit of a Federer-less Swiss team, the unexpected La Liga sponsorship, and the shrinking opportunities for players at ITF events despite all the money that Davis Cup is apparently worth.
We also plow through a list of miscellaneous topics, including a second title for 18-year-old Dayana Yastremska, a career-best final for Donna Vekic, the demise of the Connecticut Open, the persistence of the serve clock, the career slam of Herbert-Mahut, and some new mixed doubles stats.
Thanks for listening!
