Episode Wimbledon Drop Shot: Dissecting Serena's Wimby Loss || Shelton Shocker || Sinner 's Bloody Shoe
Welcome to The Big T: Wimbledon Drop Shot Edition, where BG and Nick Monroe whip around the courts to get you caught up on everything in 15 minutes, (give or take).
No burying the lede today — Serena Williams took Centre Court at Wimbledon for the first time in four years, and the guys break down exactly how it went. Nick reveals some insight he got before the match from Serena’s coach, plus a first-round shocker and a Sinner scare that had everyone on edge.
🎾 Serena loses to Maya Joint — Serena Williams's first singles match at Wimbledon in nearly four years ended in a three-set battle with 20-year-old Maya Joint, 3-6, 7-6, 3-6. BG and Nick dissect the comeback, the fight she showed, and what it means going forward.
🎾 Shelton Shocker — Ben Shelton was stunned in the first round, falling to No. 140 Otto Virtanen of Finland in a five-set, 4-hour-21-minute battle on No. 2 Court: 6-4, 3-6, 6-7(8), 6-2, 7-6(11-9). Virtanen saved a match point in the deciding tiebreak before closing it out.
🎾 Sinner's Bloody Shoe — Defending champ Jannik Sinner survived a scare against Miomir Kecmanović, playing through a bloodied shoe after a nasty fall en route to a five-set win. Curt Schilling of the 2004 Boston Red Sox would be proud.
