Steve Smith and Dave Anderson dig into the latest from Wimbledon, breaking down the singles and doubles action with their usual mix of sharp observation and strong opinions. The two discuss standout performances, emerging patterns of play, and what the results say about the state of the modern game on grass.
The conversation drifts into a broader discussion about the lost art of doubles and what the best teams at Wimbledon still do that recreational and junior players simply never learn. Steve and Dave make the case that doubles is not just a complement to singles but a critical training ground for net play, communication, and competitive instincts that the game desperately needs more of.
