Summary
Catherine, David and Matt's mood, after watching England reach the Euros final, did not match the mood at Wimbledon, as Roger Federer lost in straight sets to Hubert Hurkacz. What happened? How did Federer explain the result in his press conference? And will we see him again at Wimbledon?
Elsewhere, there's chat about Matteo Berrettini living up to expectations, Novak Djokovic doing all he needed to against Marton Fucsovics, and Denis Shapovalov's breakthrough five-set win over Karen Khachanov.
The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments. It is crowdfunded by listeners each December.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoni. I'm Matt Svillander. This is Mary Carillo. |
| 0:05.3 | I'm Stan Ravinka. I'm Lighten Hewitt. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:21.1 | Well folks, if there is radiant joy emanating from our voices, that is because the three of us have |
| 0:26.8 | just sat together in tennis podcast towers and watch England win through to the Euro's final, |
| 0:33.2 | a final of something for the first time in all of our lifetimes and more. So we will very much do |
| 0:42.0 | our best to make this the tennis podcast because I know there are a lot of people listening, the |
| 0:46.0 | majority of people listening that either don't give two hoots either give no hoots or worse than no hoots |
| 0:56.1 | or go to other people for their football analysis. Yes, that's possible. Yes, so we really will try |
| 1:03.4 | and make this the tennis podcast but if the joy in our voice isn't in keeping with what we're |
| 1:09.2 | talking about tennis wise, then you'll understand why because it's been a rather jubilant night |
| 1:15.3 | for England fans us included. But before that jubilant night, we spent our whole day watching tennis |
| 1:23.8 | and there's a whole lot to talk about from men's quarterfinals day at Wimbledon and one |

| 1:51.3 | end up having but I've got ahead of myself because I need to ask you both what adjective beginning |
| 2:00.8 | with W would you like to prefix Wednesday with? I'm not sure mine's allowed but I'm going to try |
| 2:09.3 | look away Wednesday. You've managed to find two words neither of which begin with W you're out |
| 2:17.1 | of the game Matt. I think it's very hard to find a word that sums up all of those matches that we had |
| 2:25.6 | if we're if we're leading with the Federer I think is wofl to to harsh. Yes. Is it? He was he was bad. |
| 2:40.2 | He was bad. He was pretty wofl to that. He was bad but I just feel the days aren't just about him. |
