Is tennis having a moment?
Tennis is having a moment (sorry, pickleball). The prestigious Wimbledon Championships are on, with new star players. There’s also the sport’s resurgence on the fashion and film scene. We hear the latest from Post sports reporter Ava Wallace in London.
Wimbledon. Hit films like “Challengers.” Tennis core. While household names such as Serena Williams and Roger Federer have retired from the game, a new generation of players is on the rise. They are fueling a resurgence in the sport’s popularity and pushing for long-awaited pay equity.
Today on “Post Reports,” Martine Powers speaks with sports reporter Ava Wallace from Wimbledon about this tennis moment and the new players to watch, such as Carlos Alcaraz, Lorenzo Musetti, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff, and the challenge the sport is facing from pickleball. Wallace also offers her viewing tips as Wimbledon heads to its final matches.
