What to look out for in our latest episode.

Ben Shelton, Bots, and Strawberry Pasta — Oh My…

What's going on: Wimbledon wraps up this weekend with the finals, but the tournament has already served up plenty worth talking about — though maybe not for Hugh Grant, who appeared to fall asleep during a recent match. Who’s racked up Ws so far: Ben Shelton (and his sister, Emma, whom he calls his “lucky charm”), supermodel Brooks Nader (who shared the most relatable wardrobe mishap), and Cate Blanchett, who gave Zendaya a real run for her money with this look. As for the losers: Sorry, but Iga Świątek’s pasta with strawberries (yes, we tried it) won’t be dethroning strawberries and cream anytime soon. Then, most notably, there’s the electronic line system, which missed several calls — can we please bring back the line judges in their Ralph Lauren blazers?

Our take: This mix of tradition and surprise, with a dash of chaos, is exactly what makes Wimbledon… Wimbledon. The tennis is only half the fun — the other half is the human drama, the rituals, and the tiny quirks that make the tournament feel timeless. And while no sport can avoid change, the tech glitches at Wimbledon this year have prompted a sort of existential crisis among tennis fans: When you remove the people, what do you lose? For now, the magic’s safe… until a bot learns how to pick up a racket.
