Live from Wimbledon preview - Serena steals the show

The night before Wimbledon, Catherine, David and Matt were live for one last hype show.

We start by discussing some more pre tournament press conferences and most notably Serena Williams’ return to the media room at Wimbledon. What did we learn?

We also have updates from Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu, while Matt is cautiously optimistic about what he heard from Amanda Anisimova.

In part two (29:42), we’re joined by tournament director Jamie Baker to discuss Wimbledon’s position on the player protests, the expansion plans, and wildcards.

Finally , we look ahead to the opening day’s order of play (55:00) and react to the news that Stefanos Tsitsipas has split permanently from his father as his coach.
