After spending the day in the US Open press conference room, Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts react to what the top players had to say as they prepare for the tournament. Part one - We discuss the way Carlos Alcaraz left us feeling positive about his return from injury, detailing that his wrist has felt fine in practice, that he's using his experience of being injured in 2024 to help him, and that he plans to play his usual game style. So what can we expect from him this tournament? There's also chat about how the other men's contenders - such as Ben Shelton, Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz - are largely playing down any talk of this being a big opportunity with Jannik Sinner not in the draw. What do we make of that? Part two (22:10) - On the women's side, defending champion Aryna Sabelenka has been struggling for form recently. In what way was she defensive about that in her press conference? And can we read anything into it? Coco Gauff, on the other hand, discussed how she's in a much better place mentally and with her game compared to twelve months ago, while Alexandra Eala spoke with incredible maturity about understanding her growing influence on the sport. Part three (43:45) - We cover some of the stories from qualifying, including more heartbreak for 2019 champion Bianca Andreescu, defeat for the retiring 2014 finalist Kei Nishikori, and lots of British success.For ad-free listening and bonus content, Become a Friend.

Part one (00:00 - 29:51) We discuss the different feel to this year's mixed doubles event, the way the doubles specialists all lost early, why Muchova and Mensik were worthy winners, and the notable chemistry in the Mirra Andreeva/Andrey Rublev and Flavio Cobollo/Belinda Bencic partnerships. Plus, we analyse how Alcaraz performed on his return alongside Serena Williams and what, if anything, it might mean for singles.

Arthur Fils has been arriving for a while, but this was his biggest destination yet. A first Masters 1000 title with a victory over Frances Tiafoe on home soil in the process takes some doing. Where does that put him in the Mix for the US Open? Part two - ATP (28.14 - 49:48). Coco Gauff has been here before - finding form in Cincinnati and then taking it into New York and winning it all. This was as well as she has played for a long time, and Jessica Pegula had few answers in the final. Is Gauff now the favourite for the US Open?

Catherine, David and Matt assembled live on YouTube to react to the dual news from the last 24 hours that Carlos Alcaraz will be making his long-awaited comeback at the US Open, while Jannik Sinner has withdrawn due to his ongoing knee injury. Part one (00:00 - 48:10) - We discuss how we're feeling about another slam without both Sinner and Alcaraz there, the strange season that Sinner has had, our expectations of Alcaraz in New York, and what this all means for the rest of the draw. Who will benefit most from Sinner's absence? Is it mad for Alcaraz to be the favourite? And is this the time for another American man to finally win a major? Part two (48:11 - 56:28) - We cover the concern surrounding Elena Rybakina after she pulled up with an injury against Iga Swiatek in Cincinnati. What does this mean for her No.1 prospects?

Catherine, David and Matt catch up as Cincinnati reaches the quarter-finals stage after a Last 16 bonanza which saw both top seeds lose. Part one - WTA (00:00 - 26:35). We react to yet another early exit for Aryna Sabalenka, this time to the impressive Sara Beljek. We discuss what Bejlek did well but also what is going on with Sabalenka. How much trouble is she in heading into New York? There's also chat about Elena Rybakina's chance to seize the World No.1 Ranking, and whether Amanda Anisimova can finally get a win over Jessica Pegula after finding her best form to beat Alex Eala and Linda Noskova. Part two - ATP (26:36 - 46:36). Taylor Fritz is the only Masters 1000 champion left in the field following Alexander Zverev's loss from match point up against Tommy Paul. How much of a concern is Zverev's form ahead of the US Open? We also reflect on Flavio Cobolli's excellent comeback to beat Rafael Jodar, Lorenzo Musetti's quiet run of form which he can now put to the test against Frances Tiafoe, and David's excitement about Arthur Fils is growing.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comIn this episode of Bases at the Barge Part Two, the host sets the scene amid nearby military bases before Max shares his personal story, beginning with his childhood in Brighton and Lewes, England, and a brief period living near alleged jump rooms in Los Angeles. He describes early occult family influences, recurring out-of-body experiences, and later realizations about trauma-based mind control techniques refined by Nazi doctors with input from non-human entities, creating dissociative alters programmed for specific purposes. Max recounts recovered memories of childhood rituals at a swimming pool complex, involvement in breeding programs, a severe 2008 crisis when multiple alters surfaced leading to assault, hospitalization, and what he believes was a reprogramming stay, as well as his ongoing deprogramming work. The session continues with audience questions exploring bloodlines, time manipulation, CERN, elite pedophilia as energy harvesting, DNA alterations, spirituality, and the potential activation of sleeper programs, offering a raw and detailed account of his experiences and broader interpretations of hidden agendas.

Part two (32:35 - 42:51) - A few other stories from the men's event including Arthur Fery's winning return, Taylor Fritz's quickest-ever racquet smash, and a new entry into the long list of wild Arthur Rinderknech moments. Part three (42:52 - 1:16:06) - Turning our attention to the women's draw, we discuss an unconvincing win for Aryna Sabalenka against Talia Gibson, Elina Svitolina saving 7 match points to beat Tereza Valentova, an opportunity for Iga Swiatek to keep it rolling after Canada, whether Venus Williams should still be getting wildcards, the worst drop shot David has ever seen, and a blockbuster night session meeting between Alex Eala and Amanda Anisimova.

Catherine, David and Matt were live on Friday night to look back on the the last few days in Canada, with Iga Swiatek winning her first title in almost a year and Ben Shelton defending his crown. Part one - WTA Toronto (00:00 - 36:02). Is Swiatek back? We discuss how she finally played the brand of tennis she's been working towards with Francisco Roig, the reason she called out the haters in her victory speech, and how a crucial win over Elina Svitolina in the semi-finals set her on the way to the title. There's also analysis of her dominant display over Elena Rybakina in the final and chat about her excellent celebrations with Elway, the tournament dog. Part two - ATP Montreal (36:03 -54:55). We cover the brilliant tennis played by Shelton all week, try to make sense of his up and down season, and wonder what it all means heading into the US Open. Plus, a word on Brandon Nakashima who continues to play the best tennis of his career, and who randomly decided to hate on Toronto in his post-match speech. Part three (54:56 - 1:35:14). We look ahead to Cincinnati and discuss who it could be a big tournament for, including Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic. We then hear from Jack Draper as he opens up about the immense physical, mental and emotional toll of his chronic injury. Finally, in light of some findings from the PTPA and a statement from the ATP, we debate the big picture of injuries in tennis.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comIn this rare 2015 Bases at the Barge event, held at Coronation Hall, Max Spiers and Sarah Adams share their personal experiences as alleged program participants connected to James Casbolt. The evening opens with the host explaining the venue change from the previous year, the sensitive nature of the material, and some background on crop circles, time-space anomalies, and reported underground activity. Miriam then leads a short grounding to create a safe space for the speakers.Sarah begins by describing her unusual childhood split between France and the United States, her family's noble bloodlines, time spent around military bases, and an extreme, isolated upbringing that she believes was designed to push certain abilities to the surface. Together with Max, she discusses targeted programs that place selected children under intense emotional stress, the existence of pocket dimensions and multiple frequency layers, and systems that allegedly harvest human energy. The conversation moves into her memories of Mars, nuclear conflicts that affected multiple dimensions, and how advanced beings supposedly came to depend on life-force energy taken from humans—particularly children. They also explore ideas around soul recycling involving the Moon and Saturn, the way movies often encode the same information, and the broader planetary shift that is bringing greater public awareness.Throughout the talk the pair field questions from the small audience on interdimensional beings, soul attachments, patterns of abuse, and practical ways people can respond in the present lifetime through creativity, subtle-energy awareness, and waking up rather than waiting for death. The atmosphere remains relaxed and conversational, offering a raw and wide-ranging look at topics that were still largely underground in 2015.
Catherine, David and Matt catch up on the weekend's action in Canada with Toronto and Montreal both at the quarter-finals stage. Part one (00:00 - 15:07) Before we get to Canada, we start with the disappointing news that Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from Cincinnati due to a knee injury. How concerning is this? And what could it mean for the US Open? Part two (15:08 - 49:22) WTA Toronto. There's chat about Aryna Sabalenka's slump continuing, the challenge facing Ekaterina Alexandrova as she attempts to back up that win against Elina Svitolina, an unconvincing display from Elena Rybakina as she looks to close the gap to World No.1, a remarkable turnaround from Iga Swiatek to beat Marta Kostyuk, Alexandra Eala finally hitting the wall, and impressive performances from both Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka. Part three (49:23 - 1:26:11) ATP Montreal. A last eight made up entirely of players born in the 2000s, the most enticing match up sees Arthur Fils go up against Rafael Jodar. We discuss Fils lighting it up against Cameron Norrie, Jodar's destructive return of serve, and what might happen in that one. Plus, there's a review of Ben Shelton beating Joao Fonseca, Brandon Nakashima's quiet run of form since hiring Wayne Ferreira, and predictions.

Catherine, David and Matt react to the first few days of action across Canada as the men's top seeds fall by the wayside. Part one (00:00 - 44:35) Unfortunately we start with an update on the abundance of injury news on the ATP Tour, including Carlos Alcaraz delaying his comeback and withdrawing from Cincinnati, as well as reports in Italy that Jannik Sinner is dealing with a knee issue. What do we make of all that? The tournament in Montreal hasn't been immune to injury woe either and we discuss the sad withdrawal of Felix Auger-Aliassime and the crushing scene of Jack Draper in tears on court. Moving on to the actual tennis, there's chat about Alexander Zverev losing to Tallon Griekspoor, a win for Boric van de Zandschulp over Daniil Medvedev, another opportunity missed by Alex de Minaur, a second straight win for Rafael Jodar over the returning Lorenzo Musetti, and our picks for the title from here. Part two (44:46 - 1:01:45) While the men's event in Montreal has been defined by big names going out, there hasn't been many upsets in Toronto, except for Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova losing to Caty McNally. We discuss that result, Aryna Sabalenka doing enough to keep her No.1 ranking, and more incredible scenes at Alexandra Eala's matches. There's also reaction to Amanda Anisimova's dramatic win over Nikola Bartunkova and a look ahead to some of the blockbuster matches which have been set up. Part three (1:01:46 - 1:16:32) We discuss the first comments from players about the new WTA genetic sex testing policy and take a look at what the WTA appointing IMG as its production partner for broadcast could mean.

Part one (00:00 - 29:00) We discuss the way Eala, backed by vociferous Filipino support, turned the final around against Jessica Pegula, the awkwardness and effectiveness of her game against top players, and why her rise is such a big deal for tennis.

Carmelina Novembre"L'essenza del genio"Il profumo di Leonardo da VinciBonfirraro Editorewww.bonfirraroeditore.itUn profumo può custodire una verità capace di attraversare secoli. Anchiano, 1452. Nell'atmosfera dorata della campagna toscana, tre donne assistono una giovane partoriente: è Caterina, sedicenne segnata da un passato doloroso. Schiava venduta a Venezia e madre di Leonardo, sa di non poter tenere il figlio che sta per nascere. Prima di lasciarlo, imprime nel neonato il ricordo di casa attraverso il profumo di una foglia di fico, un segno olfattivo destinato a sopravvivere al tempo.Torino, presente. Carmelina Novembre, profumiera alchimista, crea un'essenza rivoluzionaria ispirata non a Leonardo da Vinci in sé, ma a La Dama con l'Ermellino, l'opera più enigmatica del genio: una fragranza costruita come un ritratto olfattivo di Cecilia Gallerani, fatta di foglie di fico, ambra, pergamena e legno bagnato.La giornalista francese Giulia Dumas, affiancata dallo storico dell'arte Lorenzo Mantegazza, decide di investigare sull'origine di quella fragranza per il suo prossimo libro. La loro ricerca li conduce a una verità nascosta: il legame profondo tra Leonardo e Caterina, una madre di nobili origini strappata alla libertà, il cui amore vive nell'aroma che segnò l'infanzia del genio.Ma non tutti vogliono che la verità venga alla luce. Gabriele Volpe, profumiere spietato discendente di una famiglia umiliata da Leonardo, si mette sulle tracce del segreto olfattivo per sfruttarlo commercialmente. Il furto di documenti cruciali trasforma la ricerca storica in una pericolosa caccia al tesoro. Giulia dovrà seguire indizi olfattivi, collegare passato e presente e scoprire che il vero tesoro non è una formula segreta, ma la più potente delle storie d'amore: quella di una madre per il figlio che le fu portato via, eternata in un profumo.Carmelina G. Novembre è nata a Grassano, in provincia di Matera, dove ha trascorso infanzia, adolescenza e giovinezza. Dopo il matrimonio con Franco Novembre ha seguito il marito in diverse città italiane, vivendo tra Palermo e Modena prima di stabilirsi a Torino, dove ha trovato equilibrio tra vita familiare e professionale insieme alle figlie Idia e Giusy.Originaria della Basilicata e da sempre legata al mondo delle fragranze, ha trasformato questa passione in un mestiere: è un Naso, creatrice di profumi, e nella sua Maison torinese dà vita a essenze che nascono da storie, incontri e suggestioni. Con L'essenza del genio ha ideato anche una fragranza ispirata a La Dama con l'Ermellino, pensata come complemento olfattivo al romanzo.Nel 2021 ha pubblicato con Bonfirraro Editore Il mistero del profumo di Rol, il racconto autobiografico del suo incontro con la figura di Gustavo Adolfo Rol, sensitivo torinese, e della creazione dei profumi "Mistero" ed "Elna" a lui ispirati. Con L'essenza del genio, edito sempre da Bonfirraro nella collana Romanzo B., torna in libreria intrecciando romanzo storico, indagine contemporanea e arte profumiera.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

For this episode, Catherine, David and Matt are joined in the Wimbledon library by Matt Futterman to talk about his new book, The Cruelest Game. The book is an in-depth and up-close look at the sport's modern era, its stars, and what it takes to succeed in professional tennis. Using his incredible access, Matt speaks to players and team members on his quest to empathetically figure out why the sport seems to take such a toll on everyone and whether there are any secret codes that will allow players to thrive at the summit of this brutal game.With chapters dedicated to most of the sport's top players, Matt explores the individual paths taken by them, as well as the unique and shared challenges they all face as tennis emerges from the era of The Big 3 and Serena Williams. We speak to Matt about his inspiration for writing the book, some of the most memorable conversations he had over the past three years while working on it, and the recurring themes such as parent-child coaching dynamics and what makes tennis stand out from other sports when it comes to the price paid by its athletes. The Cruelest Game: Chasing Greatness in Professional Tennis comes out on Tuesday August 4th 2026 or is available for pre-order now, with the audiobook read by Catherine.

For one last time at Wimbledon in 2026, Catherine, David and Matt were live on YouTube to react to Jannik Sinner beating Alexander Zverev 6-7 7-6 6-3 6-4 to defend his title at SW19. We discuss the way Zverev hit his forehand better than ever to take a one set lead, how Sinner stayed calm to raise his game and level up, and the final two sets which saw the Italian take charge. Should Zverev take the positives from pushing Sinner more than he has done in a while? Or will the fact he still fell short mean this one stings just as much? As for Sinner, we cover the importance of this title for his career as he bounced back from such disappointment at Roland Garros, and what the next few months could look like for him as Carlos Alcaraz's future remains uncertain. We also round up the day's other results, reflect on the tournament as a whole, and say lots of big thank yous as our Wimbledon coverage concludes for another year.

In the 989th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway honors the 20th anniversary of the 2006 World Series of Poker (WSOP) by chatting with a trio of players who made a name for themselves that year. That includes Paul Wasicka, who finished runner-up to Jamie Gold in the 2006 WSOP Main Event and, a year later, went on to win the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship. What has the former young gun, who doesn't play much serious poker anymore, been up to over the past two decades? Find out here. Likewise, Sabyl Cohen Landrum finished 56th in the 2006 WSOP Main Event, making her the last woman standing by outlasting Annie Duke. ESPN captured it and vaulted her to temporary "Poker Boom" fame, but what is life like for her now? Finally, Chad caught up with Jon Friedberg, who topped a then-record 2,891-player field to win a $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em event for $526K and a gold bracelet. Friedberg has gone on to become a major player on the poker operator side of things with Poker Atlas, and part of that success stems from his big bracelet win. Learn more about his story in this week's episode of the PokerNews Podcast! A new PokerNews Podcast drops four times a week in July during the 2026 WSOP!

Catherine, David and Matt were live moments after Linda Noskova became Wimbledon champion, defeating her Czech compatriot Karolina Muchova 6-2 5-7 6-3 in what became a dramatic final. We start by discussing the important moments in the match; Noskova's sublime performance at the start to build a 6-2 5-2 lead, the choke which saw her lose five match points across three games and be taken to a third set, and her remarkable reset to then win that deciding set. How did Noskova pull it all off? How surprising was Muchova's slow start? And what might the future hold for both Noskova and Muchova? We also run through the day's other results, discuss Henry Patten standing up for doubles, and look ahead to tomorrow's men's final between Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev.

Catherine, David and Matt react live to women's semi-finals day as Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova ensured there will be a Czech winner on Saturday. We start with Muchova's extraordinary win over Coco Gauff in a final set tiebreak. How did Muchova manage to beat Gauff over the distance? What was Gauff thinking with that drop shot on her match point? And do we have any concerns about Muchova when it comes to physicality and nerves in the final? As for the second semi-final (26:15), we talk about Noskova's remarkable poise and temperament which saw her produce another brilliant performance, and debate the extent to which Marta Kostyuk could have done more. We also look ahead to the men's semi-finals (42:12) and in particular the order of them, which sees Arthur Fery vs Alexander Zverev scheduled first, and Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner on second. What might have contributed to this switch? And who will it benefit?For ad-free listening and bonus content, Become a Friend. Check out our new merch shop! Talk tennis with Friends on The Barge!

In this episode, Jason and Jordan kick things off with post–Fourth of July stories, from eight-inch mortars and a professional fireworks barge to the unexpected lesson in staffing, leadership, and broken promises that came with a canceled show. They pivot into the green industry and dig into how Jason is onboarding virtual assistants (VAs) to help track lead flow, build out data-driven reporting, and improve budgeting and cash flow visibility. The conversation gets candid around switching to weekly payroll, the hidden cost of payroll advances, and where to draw the line between supporting employees and becoming "the bank." They compare live answering options like Ruby versus AI-backed tools such as RingCentral, and explore how VAs, phone systems, and SingleOps can work together to tighten operations. Jason shares how he's thinking about social media ROI, content strategy with Sky Palm Studios, and why long-term trust-building may beat pure ad spend. Jordan closes with two powerful branding and values stories: how 25 years of Empire Today ads led him to a no-hesitation buying decision, and how an HOA dust-up over flying the American flag at the community boat ramp turned into a real-world case study in leadership, perception, and standing your ground.

Catherine, David and Matt react to British wildcard Arthur Fery reaching the Wimbledon semi-finals. There's chat about the way he completely outplayed a disappointing Flavio Cobolli, his remarkable self-assuredness and confidence in press, and how his game might stack up against Alexander Zverev, who emphatically ended his recent streak of losses to Taylor Fritz, in the semi-finals. We also run through a long list of possible Fery-related puns for the British media as this story takes over the back pages. On the women's side, we discuss a couple of excellent performances from Marta Kostyuk and Linda Noskova to set up a semi-final meeting. How did Kostyuk take over her match against Jasmine Paolini with her forehand? Will Kostyuk be better prepared for this semi-final after her experience in Paris? How does Noskova's game just seem to suit the grass? And who will have the edge when they face off on Thursday?We also make our predictions for Coco Gauff vs Karolina Muchova.

On another late night at Wimbledon, Catherine, David and Matt react to Novak Djokovic's remarkable final set tiebreak win over Felix Auger-Aliassime. How did Djokovic pull this off? What was it like to be in the stadium? And how much will those five hours on court take out of Djokovic ahead of his semi-final showdown against Jannik Sinner? Speaking of Sinner, we discuss his win over Jan-Lennard Struff and how much of a surprise is it that he still hasn't found his best form this tournament. There's also chat about Alexander Zverev completing a four set win over Jiri Lehecka and a look ahead to his match up against Taylor Fritz. In part two (41:10), we cover the women's quarter-finals, as Coco Gauff beat Jessica Pegula and Karolina Muchova overcame Naomi Osaka. How did Gauff turn that match around and clean up her game? Is it beginning to feel like the kind of slam that Gauff wins? Why could Osaka not play as well as she did against Sabalenka? And how will Gauff vs Muchova look on grass? Finally (1:06:40), we look ahead to Wednesday's order of play and the remaining quarter-finals. Whos the favourite between Jasmine Paolini and Marta Kostyuk?

On yet another dramatic day, Catherine and David were joined by Charlie Eccleshare of The Athletic straight after Coco Gauff's victory over Belinda Bencic, just in the nick of time before the 11pm curfew. Charlie explains why Gauff is his pick for the title, but will she even be the favourite in the next round against Jessica Pegula? The main talking point is Naomi Osaka's incredible victory over Aryna Sabalenka. How did Osaka turn their rivalry around to win? Where has this tennis been from her on grass? Can she now go on to win the title? And where does this result leave Sabalenka? There's also chat about Karolina Muchova beating Barbora Krejcikova to ensure another new champion. In part two, we cover an irritable Novak Djokovic and debate where his level is at, David fills us in on all the drama that went down between Felix Auger-Aliassime over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, and there's a play-by-play account of how Jan-Lennard Struff became the oldest first time Grand Slam quarter-finalist after some weird Hubert Hurkacz weirdness. As for Jannik Sinner, can he win this tournament without playing his best tennis? In part three, we cover some beef between Henri Patten and Reilly Opelka as the ATP plans sweeping changes to doubles, and there's a look ahead to the Day 8 Order of Play.

Catherine, David and Matt are live on the day that Arthur Fery became the sixth British man in the Open Era to reach a Wimbledon quarter-final, beating Grigor Dimitrov on Centre Court. Where was the match won and lost? How far can Fery's game take him? And why was it tough to see Dimitrov cast as the villain as Fery Fever swept SW19? Fery will face Flavio Cobolli who played some seriously good tennis to beat a crestfallen Alex de Minaur. We discuss both press conferences and give a nod to Taylor Fritz who looked the business against Alexander Bublik. In part two (33:25), we focus on the women's event and re-do our predictions after the draw has opened up so much, particularly in the bottom half. There's chat about Jasmine Paolini showing glimpses of her 2024 form to beat Alexandra Eala as well as Linda Noskova's quiet competence on this surface.Finally (56:05), we cover some spectacular aggro between Jelena Ostapenko and Laura Siegemund, before previewing tomorrow's order of play.

Patrick K. O'Donnell, guest author, recounts how, in 1863, Richard Blazer emerged as an unlikely Union hero, leading "Blazer's Scouts," also known as the Legion of Honor. A former barge driver who was often disheveled on the parade ground, Blazer possessed a unique talent for "hunting people." His unit functioned as the first modern hunter-killer team in the U.S. Army, specifically tasked with neutralizing Confederate partisans in the rugged mountains of West Virginia. Blazer integrated veterans from the Jesse Scouts and utilized their specialized tradecraft, including riding in enemy uniforms to conduct deep reconnaissance. Their primary targets were the Thurman brothers, ruthless bushwhackers who led the Thurman Rangers in attacks against Union supply lines and the vital B&O Railroad. This conflict was exceptionally brutal; the Thurmans were known for executing prisoners, which meant Blazer's men often fought with the knowledge they would not survive capture. Operating under General Averell, the scouts acted as the "eyes" of the army, conducting battlefield reconnaissance and leading raids against Confederate supply routes. Blazer's success was built on sophisticated "detective work," where he interviewed slaves, children, and civilians to build a mosaic of Confederate hiding spots. This segment highlights how the Union transitioned from standard infantry tactics to specialized counter-insurgency operations to protect the buffer zone of the newly formed state of West Virginia. The Unvanquished (2)
Catherine, David and Matt were live after a couple of late night five-setters as Grigor Dimitrov's feel good run went on and Alexander Bublik ended Frances Tiafoe's hopes. How much regret will Tiafoe have after failing to take any of his nine set points in the third? And just how far can Dimitrov go? It was also a huge day in the women's draw as former champions Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina were both beaten. We discuss Alexandra Eala's extraordinary performance to beat Swiatek and the impact of her win in The Philippines, as well as Elise Mertens holding her nerve to beat Rybakina. Who can capitalise the most from those upsets? In part two we cover the rest of the day's results, including Madison Keys beating Amanda Anisimova in her first match on Centre Court, Flavio Cobolli winning despite losing a 6-0 opening set, Arthur Fery's fifth set tiebreak win over Zizou Bergs to keep British interest alive, and Marta Kostyuk's best ever run on grass.

Catherine, David and Matt were live at the end of Day 5 as a series of brilliant Last 16 women's matches were set up. We discuss the good mental place Naomi Osaka is in this tournament and whether she can finally trouble Aryna Sabalenka, whether Barbora Krejickova's closing problem will be an issue for her against Karolina Muchova, how Iva Jovic doesn't feel out of place in the line-up despite her age, and who the favourite is between Coco Gauff and Belinda Bencic. In part two (32:41) we discuss Novak Djokovic's entertaining win over Arthur Rinderknech, the room for improvement that remains for Jannik Sinner despite his best performance of the week, brilliant wins for Roman Safiullin and Shintaro Mochizuki, and a shocking loss for Daniil Medvedev.

We start by reacting to Deadline Djokovic and his rapid victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas. How much will that efficiency help him later on in the tournament? We then move on to the two standout matches of the day - Barbora Krejcikova's thrilling win over French Open champion Mirra Andreeva, and Coco Gauff winning the last six points to survive a final set tiebreak against Solana Sierra. We discuss what makes Krejcikova's forehand so great, the return of Andreeva's on court petulance, and how Gauff's improved serve helped her in some key moments. In part two (25:40), we cover Aryna Sabalenka having to step up to beat McCartney Kessler in straight sets, some possible reasons why Jannik Sinner remains short of his best, and the end of Dan Evans' professional tennis career. We end the show with some news (54:40), including reports of a knee injury for Serena Williams, and the decision to move the WTA Finals to Indian Wells instead of Saudi Arabia this year.

Catherine, David and Matt react to Serena Williams' singles return as she lost in three sets on Centre Court to Maya Joint. In what way did this match and occasion actually exceed our expectations? How did Joint manage to overcome her nerves to play so well and win? Would playing a warm-up tournament have helped Serena? And what might the rest of her summer look like? We then wrap up the other women's results including an emotional Iga Swiatek passing a difficult test as defending champion against Taylor Townsend, Madison Keys and Elena Rybakina both surviving despite inconsistent displays, a shock defeat for Elina Svitolina, and a brilliant comeback by Jasmine Paolini.

Catherine, David and Matt were live to discuss what the players had to say at the end of another media day affected by player protest action over prize money revenue and welfare issues. How much of a feature was this action on media day? Would it help if the players were more specific about the welfare improvements they're seeking? And where does this movement go from here? Moving on to the tennis chat (16:20), we cover the challenges facing Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner as defending champions, how Novak Djokovic feels different to how he felt in Paris, the tough spot Alex de Minaur finds himself in, how life has changed for French Open finalist Maja Chwalinska, and much more. We close by wrapping up the day's tour results (47:15), including a first career title at last for Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and a third Eastbourne title for Madison Keys.
