Will Wimbledon need to make a policy change to control the outbreak?<br/><br/>Serena Williams makes her Wimbledon return and loses out in a dramatic 3h 11m epic to Harmony Tan who was playing just her 9th Grand Slam match ever. Chris and Joel react live as they record.<br/><br/>It’s business as usual for Iga Swiatek who opens her campaign with a…you guessed it bagel on her way to a straight sets win.<br/><br/>Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are less than convincing in their open matches both dropping sets. With the draw opening up will it matter that they aren’t playing their best? <br/><br/>Joel and Chris also discuss the reduced crowd attendance for Day 1 and 2 and what might be causing some of the half empty stadiums.<br/><br/>They also reveal their Collect A Set picks, which have been sent spiraling after Serena’s exit and Berrettini’s withdrawal. Is Joel to blame for predicting a Williams win? <br/><br/>______________<br/><br/><b>LOCAL TENNIS LEAGUES</b><br/><br/>Our Wimbledon coverage this year is sponsored by Local Tennis Leagues, the home of friendly, competitive tennis in the U.K.<br/><br/>With over 10,000 players already signed up, it’s never been easier to find someone locally with a similar ability to have a hit with plus get access to great benefits including access to the Wimbledon Ballot...<br/><br/><a href='https://bit.ly/3zZvn6n'>Find your Local Tennis League here<br/></a><br/>And don&apos;t forget to use &apos;WEEKLY 50&apos; at the checkout for 50% off your £18 entry fee.<br/>______________<br/><br/><b>DOWNLOADTENNIS.COM</b><br/><br/>To stay up to date on all tennis around the world including ATP, WTA and Challenger tours, download TNNS Live Scores.<br/><br/><a href='https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tnns-tennis-live-scores/id1547205724'>Download on Apple Podcasts</a><br/><a href='https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tennisrn&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;gl=US'>Download on Google Play</a><br/><br/>Follow  TNNS Live Scores on <a href='https://twitter.com/downloadtennis?lang=en'>Twitter</a><br/>And check out the TNNS Lives Scores website at <a href='https://www.downloadtennis.com/'>www.downloadtennis.com</a><br/><br/>______________<br/><br/><b>SOCIAL MEDIA</b><br/><br/>Share your fan thoughts on the week with the #TennisWeekly on social media.<br/><br/>Twitter:<a href='https://twitter.com/tennisweeklypod'> @tennisweeklypod</a><br/>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/tennisweeklypod/?hl=en-gb'>@tennisweeklypod</a><br/>Website: <a href='https://www.tennisweekly.co.uk/'>tennisweekly.co.uk</a><br/><br/>Written, presented and produced by Joel Girling and Kim Mackenzie<br/><br/>Crowdfunded by our listeners.<br/><br/>Recorded on 28th June 2022.</p>","author_name":"Passing Shot Productions"}
