Wimbledon, day 6 review: Is the BBC any good? + Brits are wiped out for another year

Tennis Unfiltered is a weekly podcast where we try to make sense - tactical, ethical, emotional sense - of the tennis world. And we don't hold back.

Sports

Tennis

With George Bellshaw otherwise engaged (football...), freelance journalist Molly McElwee joins James Gray and Calvin Betton to discuss all the latest news in the tennis world. And there was a lot, so sorry we went on so long!

Andy Murray is back, playing on the clay in Bordeaux and signing up for Geneva, as well as changing

2020 US Open champion Dominic Thiem says he will end his career at the end of this season after years spent battling a wrist injury

Naomi Osaka is playing regularly and starting to look like a threat on clay - and she's even enjoying press conferences

Novak Djokovic was hit on the head by a water bottle and then lost comprehensively to Alejandro Tabilo, seeming to blame concussion symptoms afterwards

Tsitsidosa is no more!


QUESTIONS FROM THE MAILBAG

David asks: "You can pick two former players, one male and one female, that you would like to have seen win Wimbledon. It can be for any reason, a favourite player, unfortunate not to have won etc. The third answer is a wild card, any other player to have won any other grand slam."

Elam asks: "What do you guys think needs to be done to address all of the concerns about scheduling in tennis that's been going on recently? With all of the recent chatter from the players and fans about the scheduling issues in tennis, like these 1000 level tournaments being extended to 10 days, all of the recent injuries that have been linked to these lengthened tournaments, and the already busy schedule these players face, how does tennis fix this problem? I've wondered about a shortened calendar, say a 9-month schedule that allows for a longer off season for the players to rest from the game."

Djokovic out of Madrid, Raducanu on a roll, Muguruza retires and Calvin's Bucharest review

Calvin Betton calls in from Bucharest to chat with James Gray and George Bellshaw in London about...

Calvin's team win another title!

Stefanos Tsitsipas has now won Monte Carlo three times, more than Novak Djokovic even (although we all acknowledge he is probably more successful at other tournaments...)

... but perhaps Jannik Sinner should have beaten him, except for a blown line-call overrule by the umpire

Sinner was not the only player to suffer from a bad call over the last two weeks: Nuno Borges got an extraordinarily bad call in Estoril against Cristian Garin so we ask...
