In the Episode 13 of the Tennis Abstract Podcast<\/a>, Carl Bialik<\/a> and I start with Petra Kvitova’s first title back from injury, and her chances as a floater in the Wimbledon draw, along with other returning grass-court threats Victoria Azarenka and Sabine Lisicki.<\/p>\n

We move on to what we hope is a sensible, fact-based discussion of John McEnroe’s comments about how Serena Williams would fare on the men’s tour. It runs from about 19:00 to 50:00 — if you want to skip it, we understand. Finally, we talk Federer’s title in Halle, and how much his Wimbledon chances are aided by Wimbledon’s seeding formula, which moves him into the top four. (For more on that, see my post<\/a>\u00a0from earlier today.)<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/tennisabstract.com\/podcast\/TennisAbstractPodcast-episode013.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
