Summary

In our first live show from Wimbledon in 2025, Catherine, David and Matt are here to dissect the men’s and women’s singles draws.

Part one - Men’s draw. We discuss Jack Draper’s tough route which could involve facing Alexander Bublik in R3, Novak Djokovic landing in the top half along with Jannik Sinner, the news that Sinner has suddenly split with his fitness trainer and physio, the dream path facing Carlos Alcaraz in the bottom half, a potentially tricky two weeks for Alexander Zverev, and Taylor Fritz’s grass court scheduling.

Part two - Women’s draw (33m03s). It looks like a tough road ahead for top seed Aryna Sabalenka. We cover the names which could stop her from going deep as well as Sabalenka’s practice session with Coco Gauff and what that told us about their relationship after the Roland Garros final. There’s also a bold Amanda Anisimova prediction, Iga Swiatek coming in under the radar for once, and lots of intriguing round one matches.

Part three - Results round up (54m34s). We cover the intriguing Eastbourne final between Alexandra Eala and Maya Joint, discuss Swiatek’s run in Bad Homburg in more detail, and look ahead to media day on Saturday.
