Today on the Lucky Letcord Podcast the venerable Steve Flink joins us moments after Angelique Kerber's 6-3, 6-3 victory over Serena Williams in the Wimbledon Ladies' Singles final.

We talk about the importance of Kerber's victory, how she got it done, and what went wrong for Serena as well as where she might go from here.

We also preview Sunday's men's singles final, which features a rejuvanated Novak Djokovic and Kevin Anderson.

Of course we debate the topic that has been on everybody's mind since Day 11 brought us a 6 hour, 36 minute semifinal that tossed the final weekend's scheduling into disarray. Should we or shouldn't we go to a fifth-set breaker at all majors? Steve weighs in on that and the bizarre twist to Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic's semifinal, which was played over two days and under a roof despite bright sunny skies on Saturday at Wimbledon.

As, always, thanks for listening, and please, if you like the podcast, please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes.

In today's episode of the Lucky Letcord Podcast we look at the domination of American women at the Championships. Americans have won 57 Ladies' Singles titles at Wimbledon, 21 more than the next closest nation, and the Williams sisters have dominated the lawns of the All England Club like no other duo since 2000, winning 12 of the 18 Ladies' Singles titles at SW19.

Serena will bid for her eighth Wimbledon title on Saturday against Germany's Angelique Kerber, and we preview what could be an historic day for Williams while also looking at two American future stars, Cori "Coco" Gauff and Claire Liu.

Thanks for listening and enjoy Day 11 of the Championships!
