Summary

After three disappointments in Wimbledon finals, Goran Ivanisevic's dream finally came true in the most unlikely of ways. In the second part of our exclusive interview, Ivanisevic tells the Tennis Podcast about how he felt it was meant to be, the superstitions he stuck to, and what would have happened to him if he had not won the title. He also reveals that his son loves the game. Could there be another Ivanisevic at the top of the sport? Elsewhere, Catherine and David discuss the rise of Heather Watson, the brutal Shanghai final between Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic and we pay tribute to Roger Federer's new record of 300 weeks at World No.1.
