After an almost year-long hiatus, Eli and Raam are back with Wimbledon around the corner. We’ll discuss two of the more imbalanced Grand Slam draws in recent memory, with Novak and Iga coming out of draw-day feeling over the moon about their chances at SW19. Meanwhile, two shock announcements from Scandinavians mean the far-too-premature end of one’s career (Anett Kontaveit), and the unforeseen rebirth of the other’s (Caroline Wozniacki). But before we get to all that, we have the small matter of the entire sport of tennis potentially being taken over by an oppressive authoritarian regime at some point in the future to discuss, so god help us all. Enjoy!
