Summary
There's always a keen sense of history at Wimbledon, but even more so today as former champions - from Angela Mortimer to Roger Federer - all gathered to celebrate 100 years of Centre Court. Catherine, David and Matt talk about the special parade of champions and review all the matches which took place on Middle Sunday. How did Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz and can they form a rivalry? Just how good is Novak Djokovic's form? Is Ons Jabeur in David's Mix yet? And how big is this opportunity for Tatjana Maria, Jule Neimeier, David Goffin and Cameron Norrie?

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoli. I'm Matt Vellander. This is Mary Carillo. |
| 0:05.2 | This is Pam Shriver. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:20.4 | Well hello and welcome to episode 1,000 and one of the tennis podcast. Don't worry, |
| 0:26.2 | I went number every episode going forward but since yesterday was our 1,000th episode, |
| 0:33.0 | I've done the maths folks and today is our 1,000 and first episodes. You find the three of us, |
| 0:39.3 | myself, Catherine Whittaker, David Law, Matt Roberts at tennis podcast towers London edition. |
| 0:46.0 | If there's some strange scratching noises in the background of this podcast because Billie Jean |
| 0:51.2 | is on my lap and she's nibbling away at a bone. Why wouldn't she want to be doing that at 10 |
| 0:58.5 | past midnight? Because that is the time folks. No night sessions at Wimbledon. No night sessions |
| 1:05.4 | to be seen and yet here we are after what's been quite a fun day of tennis I think is fun and |
| 1:13.2 | adjective that we're all comfortable with to sum up today. Yeah, I think so. We said that Tim Van |
| 1:20.8 | Wright over and would make it fun and he certainly did for a set anyway. And it is great that we |
| 1:26.0 | were extremely vague about what we meant by fun. It was a very deliberate word choice. There was |
| 1:32.5 | just a little bit of Lucas Russell from 10 years ago. Can you believe that's 10 years ago? |
| 1:37.2 | About that set. The difference was that he couldn't keep it up but also Jacović didn't let him |
| 1:44.9 | keep it up. I think Jacović 2022 is just a very different proposition to Nadal 2012 as it |
| 1:53.3 | would have been but it has been a fun day. I do think there's been a lot to enjoy today. |
| 1:59.2 | Yeah, I mean I was going to start with Elaine Roster-Penco which is where all of our days started |
| 2:03.9 | today because that is an energy that will live with me for a long time. But since we've gone down |
| 2:09.0 | to a Tim Van Wright Hover avenue, should we stay down that avenue? Because that is what we've |
| 2:15.1 | most recently watched. It managed to finish just inside the the the Wimbledon Curfew of 11 pm thanks |
| 2:23.0 | to Novak Jacović's utter brilliance. But before Novak Jacović's utter brilliance, it was really good |
