The Tennis Tragic #064 / Goran's Knee / Must we suffer for our art? Have we been coddled, and can we triumph in spite of our soft hearts? The great ship Wimbledon finds itself mid-stream. Matt finds the random button, and we all discover August Holmgren as a result. Players get more serious about the Upset Game. Marin Cilic pauses and we flashback to the Match That Time Forgot. Arthur Rinderknech stops the darkness, while Laura Siegemund practices the dark arts. A fishing trip organized by Craig Boynton is described. Goran Ivanisevic dishes out some tough love (on one leg). Trinity Rodman gazes lovingly at Ben Shelton. Matte and David consider a lateral career move and re-imagine the Tennis Tragic as a Tennis Podcast Podcast.
