Summary
It was a frustrating, rain-interrupted day at The Aegon Championships, but that hasn't stopped The Tennis Podcast team hunting down the biggest names for a chat.
It's 20 years since Richard Krajicek won the Wimbledon title, but as well as looking annoyingly young at 44, he's also thrilled to be back on the road, this time as a coach. As he tells Catherine Whitaker, he has craved a coaching role for more than a decade, and now he has the chance to make an impact on grass with Stan Wawrinka.
Milos Raonic Plays 'Which Art Gallery?' with Gigi Salmon, and Grigor Dimitrov explains the reasons for his love affair with The Queen's Club.

| 0:53.6 | court it's great to see it go up in a sense of how it comes about but it's very depressing to |
| 0:57.7 | look up to the skies they are dark dark clouds. They are dark dark clouds and that rather tells the |
| 1:03.6 | story of the day doesn't it because not many balls were struck because of the rain but we did have |
| 1:08.6 | just enough play on court to see Rishard Gaske the fourth seed lose to Steve Johnson in straight |
