Live from Wimbledon Day 8 - Dimitrov's devastation, Sinner's uncertainty

Live from Wimbledon Day 8 - Dimitrov's devastation, Sinner's uncertainty

Moments after Grigor Dimitrov’s shocking retirement at two sets to love up against Jannik Sinner, Catherine, David and Matt were live to feel their feelings and review the day.

Part one - We start by reacting to the heartbreaking moment Dimitrov had to retire against Sinner after tearing his pec. We discuss the devastation on Centre Court, the way Dimitrov had been outplaying Sinner up until that point, and the uncertainty facing Sinner as he goes into the next round having not won a set and having hurt his elbow after taking a fall in the opening game. In the quarter-finals Sinner will face Ben Shelton who beat Lorenzo Sonego for the third straight major in a really fun match. Can Shelton trouble Sinner? There’s also an assessment of the difficulty Novak Djokovic had against Alex de Minaur, the way he turned the match around, and how he might fare against Flavio Cobolli in the last eight.

Part two (38m55s) - In the women’s draw, Mirra Andreeva impressed on her Centre Court debut by beating Emma Navarro, Belinda Bencic eventually came through against Ekaterina Alexandrova, Iga Swiatek didn’t have too much trouble against Clara Tauson, and Liudmila Samsonova is finally putting her game together at a slam.

Part three (56m11s) - A look ahead to tomorrow’s quarter-finals and the moment Reggie got a selfie with Roger Federer.
