Program Notes:

In today's edition of the Lucky Letcord Podcast sponsored by Tennis Express we preview Wimbledon's manic Monday with the venerable Steve Flink.

Steve was inducted into the International Hall of Fame in 2017 for his intrepid work as a tennis journalism and he is attending Wimbledon for the 42nd consecutive year.

Topics discussed:

The chaotic first week on the women's side, in which an unprecedented number of seeds failed to reach the second week.

The rise of Serena Williams, through the chaos.

The intrigue on the bottom half of the men's singles draw where Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin del Potro are all jockeying for position to reach the final.

We also hear from:


Daria Kasatkina on her amazing success returning serve in week one. Kasatkina also weighs in on the seeds scattering (hint: she doesn't care)

Karen Khachanov talks about how he adapts his game for grass as he prepares to face Novak Djokovic in the round of 16.

Jelena Ostapenko talks about bouncing back from a difficult Roland Garros.
