In our first live show from Wimbledon in 2025, Catherine, David and Matt are here to dissect the men’s and women’s singles draws.

Part one - Men’s draw. We discuss Jack Draper’s tough route which could involve facing Alexander Bublik in R3, Novak Djokovic landing in the top half along with Jannik Sinner, the news that Sinner has suddenly split with his fitness trainer and physio, the dream path facing Carlos Alcaraz in the bottom half, a potentially tricky two weeks for Alexander Zverev, and Taylor Fritz’s grass court scheduling.

Part two - Women’s draw (33m03s). It looks like a tough road ahead for top seed Aryna Sabalenka. We cover the names which could stop her from going deep as well as Sabalenka’s practice session with Coco Gauff and what that told us about their relationship after the Roland Garros final. There’s also a bold Amanda Anisimova prediction, Iga Swiatek coming in under the radar for once, and lots of intriguing round one matches.

Part three - Results round up (54m34s). We cover the intriguing Eastbourne final between Alexandra Eala and Maya Joint, discuss Swiatek’s run in Bad Homburg in more detail, and look ahead to media day on Saturday.

Wimbledon is on the horizon and Catherine and David are joined by Charlie Eccleshare from The Athletic to cover all of the important grass court results and stories.

Part one - ATP Queen’s, Halle. Carlos Alcaraz was already a formidable opponent who had reached World No.1 and won five Grand slam titles, but how will anyone stop him now he has learned how to serve like this? His second Queen's title is reviewed, Alexander Bublik's Halle win is covered, and all the potential Wimbledon permutations come into view.

Part two - WTA round up (47m00s). The return of Marketa Vondrousova, and where it leaves Aryna Sabalenka after she apologised for her Roland Garros final remarks.

Part three - This week (60m30s). The US Open Mixed Doubles entry list - our reaction, and all of the other news in a news-heavy week.

Catherine, David and Matt are back from Paris and here to discuss the first week of the grass court season.

Part one - WTA Queen’s. We cover Tatjana Maria’s extraordinary run to the title as women’s tennis returned to The Queen’s Club for the first time in 52 years. How did she use her slice and dice game to defeat the likes of Elena Rybakina, Madison Keys and Amanda Anisimova? And what more could they have done against her? There’s also chat about Zheng Qinwen’s ‘shoenanigans’ and Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter playing doubles together.

Part two - Results round up (33m33s). Elise Mertens saves 11 match points against Ekaterina Alexandrova and goes on to triumph in s’Hertogenbosch, Gabriel Diallo wins his first title, and Taylor Fritz continues his dominance over Alexander Zverev.

Part three - News (46m30s). We look ahead to this week’s events, including stacked fields in Berlin, Queen’s and Halle, and discuss the main headlines from Wimbledon’s pre event press conference.
