Live from Wimbledon Day 4 - Draper stunned by Cilic, should we have seen this coming?

We were live after close of play on a busy day 4 at the Championships.

In part 1 we discuss Draper’s shock loss to former finalist here Marin Cilic. What does this mean for both of them? How can Draper still improve both on grass and at Wimbledon? And Can Cilic go even further? We also cover Novak Djokovic and Jannik cruising through, as well as an intriguing epic between August Holmgren and Tomas Machac which was notable not only for four tie-break sets out of five, but also some unexpected clothing-rule-related-drama.

In part 2 (43m05s) we wrapped up the women’s results. Mirra Andreeva held firm despite being tested by Lucia Bronzetti, and defending champion Krejcikova slipped past Dolehide to set up a match with Emma Navarro. Swiatek too made it through; we discuss how her confidence is holding up as she progresses through the draw. And another former champion, Elena Rybakina, is looking strong, swatting away Sakkari with the kind of skills we wish we could employ to dispatch the insects currently plaguing our podcast bench!

In part 3 (57m49s) we run through tomorrow’s order of play, consider how Alcaraz might fare against Struff, preview Sabalenka-Raducanu, and come to the conclusion that tomorrow, Court 2 is where it’s at in terms of excitement, as Fonseca takes on Jarry and Keys plays Siegemund.
