Ahead of July 4th, "MediaTalk" is taking a holiday break. Today, we’re encoring a special edition of "MediaTalk" in celebration of the world’s most prestigious tennis tournament. On the first two days of the tournament upsets abounded. Among the women, No. 2 seed and French Open champion Coco Gauff and fellow American Jessica Pegula, the No. 3 seed were eliminated. The fifth seed Zheng Qinwen and ninth seed Paula Badosa were also ousted in their opening matches. All told, the combined eight top 10 seed losses were the most ever for the first two days.

In short, The Championships are setting up for an exciting fortnight on the grass courts. Those who want to find out a little about the economics behind the All England Club, including media rights fees and other revenues sources, should give this episode of "MediaTalk" a listen. Kagan research analysts Mike Johnson and JP O'Sullivan not only talk about Wimbledon financials, but how the digital age is reshaping traditions for players and viewers alike. The episode concludes with some predictions about who will raise the trophies as the gentlemen’s and ladies' singles champions. All that and more in this encore episode of "Wimbledon: Where tennis tradition meets technology."
