The Tennis Podcast: Roger Federer vs Marin Cilic preview, predictions, how good can Garbine Muguruza be and what now for Venus Williams?
The men’s singles final could, in the view of Tennis Podcast presenter David Law, be an absolute classic. But only if Marin Cilic is fully fit, and mentally ready to take on Roger Federer in his ‘back yard’.
Cilic led two sets to love and held three match points at Wimbledon 12 months ago. He didn’t win. But he will also remember the three-set thrashing he handed out to Federer in their 2014 US Open semi-final.
Federer is striving for a 19th Grand Slam singles title. It could be an untouchable number in the men’s game.
What does co-host Catherine Whitaker think will happen? Find out on the show. Both make their predictions, as does Telegraph tennis correspondent Simon Briggs.
Garbine Muguruza dashed the dream of Venus Williams in the Wimbledon final and the Tennis Podcast team were as perplexed by the vast difference in quality between the two sets played as everyone else.
Williams was arguably the better player in a first set that she lost 7-5, so why did she fade so considerably in set two?
Where did that Muguruza performance come from? Should she, and will she, now go and hire Conchita Martinez as a full-time coach? And can she take her Wimbledon form into the rest of the year and dominate the sport?
The Tennis Podcast is a downloadable tennis radio show which is produced in association with Telegraph Sport and Eurosport. Highlights of the day’s play at Wimbledon can be seen on Eurosport every night, with the finals screened live.
A new Tennis Podcast is out after play every night during Wimbledon.
