Summary
While the women shone on Sunday, it was the men's matches which stood out on Monday. Catherine, David and Matt discuss Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune's comebacks over Matteo Berrettini and Grigor Dimitrov as they set up a tantalising semi-final, the way in which Christopher Eubanks has started to feel like he belongs on the Grand Slam stage, and where this defeat leaves Stefanos Tsitsipas. In the women's draw, there's chat about an inexplicable performance by Petra Kvitova, excitement for the 2022 final repeat between Ons Jabeur and Elena Rybakina, and a breakdown of how Madison Keys came back to beat Mirra Andreeva in three sets.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mayan Batolli. I'm Matt Vellander. This is Mary Carillo. This is Pam |
| 0:06.0 | Shriver. This is Janik Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:20.0 | Hello and welcome to the tennis podcast live from Wimbledon on day eight of the championships were |
| 0:28.0 | to quote Taylor Swift. I can see daylight finally we are recording before it is pitch black. We can still see court |
| 0:37.0 | number one over our shoulders. We can still see the covers on court number eight. We can still see center |
| 0:42.0 | court over in the distance. There are people here still milling around. There are still people on |
| 0:47.0 | Henman Hill. Don't know what they're watching, but they don't seem keen to leave. They're having too |
| 0:52.0 | lovely a time. It's nice to be here at this time of day, isn't it Matt? It sure is. Yeah, we've got we've got a little |
| 0:59.0 | bit of a crowd tonight. Not quite a day one crowd, but we're very pleased to have them. There they are. This is only |
| 1:11.0 | possible when it's not 11 p.m. So we're very, very grateful. And also over there is my new favourite person, |
| 1:18.0 | one of the security guards who David doesn't know this, but he's just been trolled by. |
| 1:23.0 | Because he's been here long into the night with us while our podcast have been going on. He was just |
| 1:33.0 | watching the end of Baratini Alcras with us. And at the end he said, Sir, your friend was wrong about |
| 1:39.0 | Baratini then. No, wasn't. You're a legend. Tell us why he weren't wrong about |
| 1:45.0 | Baratini David. Because I said that if they both performed as they did two days ago, it would be a |
| 1:52.0 | straight set's when for Baratini. They did not perform as they did two days ago. Tell us more. I think Baratini played |
| 1:59.0 | well, but not as well as he did two days ago. His service first serves in with similar number, |
| 2:07.0 | actually, which I think is a good sign for him. I don't probably he wasn't putting them in the |
| 2:12.0 | corner as much, which quite as much violence. I think he started to fatigue at which I think he's |
| 2:17.0 | probably not surprising given how little tennis he's played. But also Alcrasth just asks questions of |
| 2:24.0 | him that it's very, wouldn't have done. But that was a different Alcrasse out there today. His |
| 2:30.0 | senses were heightened. It was like when he played at Queens and he was poor in the first round and |
