Wimbledon Day 10 - Venus Williams The Marvel Makes Wimbledon Final; Konta’s Dream Over For 2017; Federer/Berdych, Cilic/Querrey - Who Wins?

Jo Konta’s Wimbledon dream may have ended for 2017 but the journey of Venus Williams to the final is an extraordinary story, and one which The Tennis Podcast team review in the latest show.

How has a woman of 37 been able to return to the final 17 years after her first title at the All England Club? Where did her match against Konta turn? And how will she get on against Garbine Muguruza in the final?

For Konta it was a disappointing day. What happened after she held break point at 4 games all? Did the occasion get to her? And was it poor form that she didn’t wait for Williams before departing the stage?

Muguruza’s win over Magdalena Rybarikova is assessed, the team look ahead to the men’s semifinals, and make their predictions for Roger Federer vs. Tomas Berdych and Marin Cilic vs. Sam Querrey. 

We also hear about podcast presenter David Law’s doorstep-interview with Venus’ mother Oracene on BBC 5 Live, how Law was captioned ‘David Lloyd - former British Tennis Player’ on the Victoria Derbyshire show (much to his delight) and Telegraph tennis correspondent Simon Briggs tells Catherine Whitaker what he will be writing about in Friday’s newspaper.

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.
