Everyone, John Walsam here. It is Day One from Wimbledon 2025. This is QuickServe, brought to you by Mercury. It was a hot one here in SW19. I should say

1:23.0

hot by British standards. People from Central Florida and Phoenix and Cincinnati in August probably are laughing at the condition talk. But by Wilburden standards, it was hot.
