Episode 48 of the Tennis Abstract Podcast, with Carl Bialik of the Thirty Love podcast, recaps the weekend’s Fed Cup action, starting with Romania’s upset of the defending champion Czechs. We also look at the long list of stars languishing in Group I and consider whether Fed Cup would benefit from a Davis Cup-style revamp.
In the second half, we flip the script, with Carl interviewing Jeff about his recent posts, including an attempt at better Davis Cup rankings, a major milestone for the Match Charting Project, a look at men’s break point serving tactics, and last week’s disappointing results for top seeds at ATP events.
