Title: Wimbledon 2024

Strong start from Emma Raducanu on Monday and she's a set up in her second round match against Mertens.

Bit of a shock that the defending women's champion went out in the first round, but then she was unseeded last year I think. Interestingly no women's champoin has successfully defended her title since Serena managed it in 2016.

Why do virtually all tennis players (men and women) speak with a monotone/flat voice? If you hadn't noticed before, after reading this, you will now.

I'd noticed that Andy Murray does that, and Emma Raducanu does it as well but I think she's channeling Andy, who I think was a big influence on her as a British junior.
