Episode 2371: No Russians At Wimbledon, All England Nostalgia, Ireland Put 9 On Georgia, Book Club News
Eoin and Ken bathe deep in Wimbledon nostalgia today and fret about the end of the good old days at the All England club.
The great Caitlin Thompson of Racquet magazine also joins us to talk about the rights and wrongs of the tournament’s ban on Russian athletes, whether the decision was more performative then effective, what to expect from Serena’s return in a time when she seems primarily fuelled by spite towards her former coach, and who will win the men’s title this year (take a guess).
Ons + Serena. Doubles, on grass. Am I dreaming?? https://t.co/4XfXgBnfVY
