Episode 69 of the Tennis Abstract Podcast, with Carl Bialik of the Thirty Love podcast, recaps the first week of Wimbledon, with a focus on the oustanding debut of 15-year-old Cori Gauff. (I also wrote about her earlier this week at the Economist, and this morning at the blog.)
We also talk Kyrgios-Nadal, Andy Murray the doubles player and his partnership with Serena Williams, the possibly slower grass this year, and some surprisingly decent returning from Milos Raonic. We also offer forecasts for each of the 16 fourth-round matches, along with Elo- and market-based predictions for each one.
Thanks for listening!
