Summary
Goran Ivanisevic was inconsolable the day after the man he coaches, Marin Cilic, lost out to Roger Federer after holding three match point, and the Croatian now believes Andy Murray will go on to win the title.
In an interview with Tennis Podcast presenter and BBC 5 Live commentator David Law, Ivanisevic said this was the worst he had felt in nearly 20 years, since losing to Pete Sampras in the 1998 final.
He believes Federer against Raonic is now '50-50', that Murray will take care of Tomas Berdych, and that Murray will win his second Wimbledon.
Law is joined by co-host Catherine Whitaker, Simon Briggs from the Telegraph, and special guest Russell Fuller, the BBC's Tennis Correspondent, to review the victories of Serena Williams over Elena Vesnina, and Angelique Kerber and Venus Williams.
The Tennis Podcast is produced in association with The Telegraph.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm John McInerd. I'm Bjorn Borg. This is Martina Navratlova. I'm Matt Vylander. I'm |
| 0:05.2 | San Roenka. I'm like Newt. I'm Andy Murray. And you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:19.8 | Well hello, welcome to the tennis podcast brought to you in association with the |
| 0:23.3 | Telegraph. Today was women's semi-final day. It didn't last an awful long time because, frankly, |
| 0:29.1 | Serena Williams was in awesome form. She smashed away past Elena Vesnina in just 48 minutes. |
| 0:35.6 | An Angelique Kerber wasn't too far behind. An hour and 12 minutes for her to defeat Venus. |
| 0:41.2 | So we know the women's final liner. Myself David Law joined by Simon Briggs, Catherine Whittaker, |
| 0:46.8 | and a very special guest today. The BBC's tennis correspondent Mr Russell. How you doing? |
| 0:52.0 | It's a privilege, David. It's an out. The pleasure is all ours. Well, first of all, we're just going |
| 0:56.1 | to start with Simon Briggs because Simon's got to go off and write something enormous for the Telegraph. |
| 1:01.1 | What are you going to write about today, Simon? You've got plenty to choose from. Haven't you? You've |
| 1:04.4 | got men's semi-finals coming up tomorrow with Andy Murray against Thomas Burrick. He's playing |
| 1:11.2 | tomorrow's near. If I can stand Milachranics, that one's first, but the semi's today probably went |
| 1:17.1 | the way I think we expected. Yeah, I mean, I watched the Venus one. I let Jim White do the |
| 1:23.9 | Serena one and I was a little bit rushing trying to finish my salad in order to get out on |
| 1:28.3 | Sunday court because it didn't take quite as long as I had anticipated. I guess that was a |
| 1:34.5 | disappointing match on the Sunday court. Crowds, some of my friends were actually in the crowd for |
| 1:38.4 | the Venus match and said they enjoyed that. It wasn't world class Venus didn't play her top level, |
| 1:45.0 | but it was okay. It was world class in terms of the performance eventually. |
| 1:47.9 | It curved, wasn't it? It played pretty well. I mean, certainly when she got her serve going |
| 1:50.8 | the second set she looked like she was playing a good rounded game. I think she'll have to serve |
| 1:54.8 | that well again against Serena to stay in the match. I mean, Serena's looked so good, |
