WTA Weekly: Noskova wins Berlin, Bouzkova seals Nottingham title | Eala heads to Bad Homburg after Berlin heroics | Serena Williams to play Wimbledon singles | Sabalenka woes continueThis week on WTA Weekly, @nickbc30 and @aces_and_faults break down a huge grass-court weekend as rising Czech star Linda Noskova captured the biggest title of her career at the Berlin Open, defeating Jessica Pegula in a three-set final to claim her first grass-court trophy and move into the WTA Top 10 for the first time. Nick and Amanda also discussed Marie Bouzkova's title-winning run in Nottingham and what it means heading into Wimbledon, while Filipino sensation Alexandra Eala continues to turn heads after a breakthrough Berlin campaign that included wins over top players before her semifinal run ended against Noskova. With Bad Homburg next on her schedule, we assess whether another deep run is on the cards. Plus, the tennis world is buzzing over Serena Williams return to Wimbledon singles competition, and we examine what that could mean for the tournament and her legacy. We also take a closer look at the worrying trend surrounding world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, whose grass-court preparations suffered a setback after a semifinal defeat to Jessica Pegula in Berlin. Is it merely a bump in the road, or a genuine concern ahead of SW19? All that and more as Wimbledon fever builds on this week's episode of WTA Weekly. 🎾
