Summary

With the first week of Wimbledon complete, David and Catherine get together to review the most stunning upset the tournament has ever known, analyse the form of the remaining contenders, and come up with their predictions for week two. Catherine plumps for two new champions, David sticks to his guns, and then there's the our in-depth, exclusive interview. In Episode 5, it is with Mark Philippoussis, who tells us about his mindset going into that fateful match against Pete Sampras at the Australian Open, his hope to have children, and why he disagrees with Marat Safin about the merits of Andy Murray employing Ivan Lendl as his coach.
