  • A Czech-off - with Kedzie Teller
    Jul 13 2026

    This Wimbledon served up plenty of hits, with a few misses, and some twists and turns that kept us on the edge of our seat. We laughed, we cried, it was better than Cats. Kedzie Teller is back to break down all the action, from our Lobsbians that straddle Andy Roddick, diving divas, and Sabine Lisicki. To our tournament highlights that had us in tears whether it was Alex Eala’s chubby cheeks or Noskova’s tribute to mom or the surprising hometown hero Arthur Fery. And Jannik Sinner cements his status as the clear number 1 with another slam title, but makes us wonder if we are in a flop era for the ATP? But at least we had the pretty match between Dmitrov and Berrettini. And we play our favorite game SMASH back to help determine what will get Sabalenka her groove back before the US Open.
