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!

Cincinnati has produced two completely random champions: absolutely no one saw Borna Coric lifting the men’s title, while absolutely no one (except me!) saw Caroline Garcia’s win coming! But what does it mean for the US Open? If there’s one thing we know going into this tournament, it’s to expect the unexpected. We’ll look at the draw, discuss the favorites, preview the most intriguing first round matchups, and shine the spotlight on Serena Williams before her last ever professional tournament.

Welcome to one long old Pablo corner. That’s right everyone, Pablo Carreño Busta, the man who owns an entire segment of his own on this podcast, is a Masters 1000 Champion. After a year of embarrassing losses and match-point chokes, Pablo randomly decided to be great again, and what a sight it was to behold. We’ll discuss his inspiring run in Montreal, how he turned around his form, and what it means for the rest of his career. And if we have any time left, we can deal with the small matter of the greatest tennis player of all time retiring on this edition of The Boomerang Break.
