Summary
It was a day of high emotions and comebacks with all four quarter-finals being won by the player who lost the opening set, meaning that we had plenty to get stuck into as we recorded in fading light at Wimbledon.
Why did Djokovic's comeback against Sinner feel inevitable? In what way did Norrie connect with the Wimbledon fans today? What made the hug between Niemeier and Maria so special? And how did Jabeur take charge in her victory over Bouzkova?

| 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. |
| 0:20.3 | Well if yesterday was mellow Monday then I reckon today was Titanic |
| 0:26.0 | Tuesday, Credit David Whitaker for that title. There were several other adjectives beginning with T |
| 0:32.0 | that were submitted as potential names for today but I think Titanic was the best and it sums up the |
| 0:40.8 | fact that all four of our singles matches today went the distance. We had two five |
| 0:45.6 | setters in the men's and two three setters in the women's and that's not even mentioning the |
| 0:50.9 | epic legends invitational mix doubles match that I watched on court 14 earlier. I will keep you |
| 0:57.5 | on the edge of your seat for the result of that one. How much did you watch? And let's go say epic |
| 1:02.4 | wasn't the word he's to describe it to me early. I had to leave the court because I was getting |
| 1:08.0 | sunburned. Oh, it went that long. It was long. It was Titanic. Greg actually shouted, |

| 1:31.3 | that later on. The singles were dramatic match. Well you might say Titanic. You might and I think |
| 1:38.8 | it really works because not only were they all deciding sets, they were all won by the player who |
| 1:45.1 | lost the opening set which was an interesting quirk to the day. So they were they were long matches |
| 1:50.4 | and they were all comebacks. You know so often winning the first set is such a marker of how the |
| 1:55.8 | match is going to go and yet all four players today managed to overturn it and that I think |
| 2:01.7 | just shows something about all of those players. Is that match that today in the newsletter? |
| 2:08.6 | It isn't. I've I had to do a last minute switch for match that because I'd come up with one. I |
| 2:14.7 | took myself off to the Wimbledon Library and it turned out that it was a really big stat to try |
| 2:21.9 | and research and while I was there, Sasha Javid and Brissi Sunak resigned. Cameron Norris started |
