Summary
A stunning day of upsets at Wimbledon saw defending champion Garbine Muguruza go out, podcast-pick Marin Cilic fall, and Jo Konta defeated, and The Tennis Podcast has an equally dramatic line-up of guests to round it all up.
John McEnroe and Tim Henman talk to The Tennis Podcast about Kyle Edmund’s win over Bradley Klahn and look ahead to Edmund vs. Novak Djokovic in round 3. Could Edmund score a stunning win?
The BBC’s Iain Carter joins presenter David Law to reflect on the losses of Cilic and Konta, that he commentated on for Radio 5 Live in the UK. Carter also looks back on the match he commentated on between Gilles Muller and Rafael Nadal last year, and reminisces about his 5 years as the BBC’s tennis correspondent when Henman was trying to win Wimbledon.
Finally, in the press room, Telegraph tennis correspondent Simon Briggs reacts to the shock defeat of defending champion Garbine Muguruza.
The Tennis Podcast will be daily throughout Wimbledon, presented by David Law and Catherine Whitaker.
It is produced in associated with Telegraph Sport and sponsored by Amazon Prime Video, the new home of the US Open in the UK.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm John McAnerod. I'm Bjorn Borg. This is Martina Navratlova. I'm Matt Vylander. I'm |
| 0:05.1 | Sten Roenka. I'm Lighten Ewitt. I'm Andy Murray and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:20.0 | So day four of Wimbledon and it has been full of shocks once again because we have just lost |
| 0:26.9 | Marin Chilich, the champion at Queens of a couple of weeks ago, a man that many of us, |
| 0:31.9 | aka me, picked as a champion here this year and no, he's gone and lost in five sets to Gido Pella, |
| 0:39.5 | which is not exactly something I expected. But this is David Law here on the tennis podcast, |
| 0:44.8 | brought to you in association with the Telegraph and sponsored by Amazon Prime Video UK, |
| 0:50.3 | the new home of the US Open in the UK from next month. And I stand here on top of the |
| 0:56.1 | broadcast roof. We still have some tennis to go here today. But I'm taking advantage of the |
| 1:01.6 | fact that I have a very special guest with me here on the tennis podcast for the very first time, |
| 1:07.8 | 434 episodes in. It's Mr Ian Carter of the BBC, who used to be the tennis correspondent is now |
| 1:15.6 | the golf correspondent and has been a big part of the coverage today. Hello, Ian. Hello, David. Yeah, |
| 1:21.0 | no, it's really, it feels like yesterday that I was tennis correspondent and then I suddenly |
| 1:28.0 | think it was like 15 years ago and that is very, very scary just about life in general, isn't it? |
| 1:35.4 | And how fast it all goes by. I'm very thankful that I still get the chance to come back here to |
| 1:43.3 | Wimbledon and stay involved just for a week now because that's the one regret about the |
| 1:50.4 | extended grass court season and the fact that Wimbledon is back a week. I think this is like the |
| 1:55.1 | fourth year of it, third year of it. And it just means I have to leave after the second Monday because |
| 2:01.9 | then I've got to get back to the day job because we have the Scottish Open, the Open, obviously just |
| 2:06.3 | around the corner. But it's almost as though Wimbledon realises that and suddenly packs in the most |
| 2:11.7 | drama it can possibly pack in to your particular commentaries. And today you've seen off Marin |
| 2:17.8 | Chillic. Well, listen, this is how it works in terms of the BBC commentary. Basically, you were doing |
