Live from Wimbledon Day 9 - Sabalenka survives Siegemund, can Anisimova stop her?

Catherine, David and Matt were live at the end of the first day of quarter-finals.

In Part 1 we covered Sabalenka’s efforts to overcome Laura Siegemund, who was using every single one of her arsenal of tricks to frustrate and wind up the world number one. It looked fraught at times but Sablenka fought through in the end to set up a semi final clash with Amanda Anisimova, who likewise required no small amount of resilience to put missed opportunities behind her and win a compelling second set tiebreak against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.

In Part 2 (29m40s) we discuss the first set of men’s quarter finals, as Alcaraz showed he was on a different level to Cam Norrie, and Fritz held his nerve to see off Khachanov. Looking ahead to that semi final, there was news of confidence and optimism from Fritz about his ability to take on Alcaraz.

In part 3 (42m13s) we look ahead to tomorrow’s second set of quarters, but not before giving appropriate attention to Andreeva’s stint at coaching Conchita Martinez with a professional level sign and hat. We ran through the percentage chances we think Cobolli and Shelton have against Djokovic and Sinner, though with some uncertainty for the latter as we wait to see the true significance of the injury he sustained against Grigor Dimitrov.
