Summary
On what used to be Magic Monday, everything felt a lot calmer and more manageable at Wimbledon today, meaning we had time to do our favourite thing and record on site. But there was no shortage of talking points as the quarter-final line-ups were completed.
In what way was Nick Kyrgios a changed man? How did Cristian Garin complete the first two sets to love comeback of the tournament against Alex de Minaur? And how will Taylor Fritz and Rafael Nadal match up in their quarter-final?
In the women's draw, we talk about Simona Halep’s incredible performance in her first match back on Centre Court since winning the title in 2019, her quarter-final with Amanda Anisimova, Ajla Tomljanovic’s emotions, and the issue of Elena Rybakina representing Kazakhstan but being born in Moscow.

| 0:23.9 | Oh, yes. |
| 0:24.6 | Wimbledon just came to me David's works just came to me. We're sat up up on the |
| 0:30.5 | with your own day and you haven't pulled that out of the bag. It's amazing. |
| 0:33.4 | I'm a last minute person. We're sat up on the broadcaster reef once again with the sun setting |
| 0:40.4 | over Wimbledon. The matches aren't yet completed. As we come to you, there's a few doubles matches |
| 0:45.8 | still on court Jack Sock and Coco Gough in action over on court number two against Elisee Corne, |

| 1:02.2 | does she? And crucially, there's Raphael Nadal in singles fourth round action on center court. |
| 1:08.9 | He is currently two sets to love up on Burtek Van Dazanskulp. Now we realize we're taking |

| 1:39.6 | in Raphael Nadal. Matt and I've just been watching most of the first two sets and you know slow-ish |
| 1:46.4 | start warmed up into it. Looked pretty good by the second set. I realise he's just going to break down |
| 1:52.1 | at the start at the second. That's not a trajectory kind of altering moment. It's not already |
| 1:58.1 | 15th. It's a bit in the road isn't it? Yeah on the Van Dazanskulp, sir. Right, well I |
