We're not crying, the whole nation is crying as Andy Murray takes his bows to wrap up an all-time career. To celebrate in our own special way, we postulate as to what made his game so special and so lethal. What was his weapon? Plus, will Raducanu be the one to take Murray's baton?
And then, we look ahead to tomorrow's draw and imagine a possible Paul v Alcaraz quarter final. It could happen if the dominoes fall just right.

It is election day in the UK. To celebrate/commiserate we look at why some players aren't voting and how politics and tennis have intertwined in the past. Think part donations I exchange for court time with Boris.
Then, we look at the day's draw and contemplate how far de Minaur can go with his clean net-hands and whether there's a title in Jabeur's slice.

We found Sam Morrison's Baseline Conversation on Instagram in late December 2023. We saw a guy telling stories about learning to play tennis while he rallied balls against a wall. A week later, Sam had amassed thousands of followers who have connected with his earnest story-telling and his developing game. Now he is championing a message of persistence and inclusion that we love to see in the culture.
Sam dialled into Forty Forty Radio from his hometown of Phoenix Arizona to talk through his frankly unbelievable family sporting heritage, what drew him to tennis in his 20s, representation in the sport, and his plans to carve out a space for more people to enjoy the game.
Follow @baselineconversation on Instagram and watch Sam grow. Or, give him some unsolicited coaching tips if that's who you are. While you're on Instagram, visit us to go into the draw for a free limited edition art print.
