Live from Wimbledon Day 9 - Djokovic keeps dream of 25 alive

On another late night at Wimbledon, Catherine, David and Matt react to Novak Djokovic’s remarkable final set tiebreak win over Felix Auger-Aliassime.

How did Djokovic pull this off? What was it like to be in the stadium? And how much will those five hours on court take out of Djokovic ahead of his semi-final showdown against Jannik Sinner?

Speaking of Sinner, we discuss his win over Jan-Lennard Struff and how much of a surprise is it that he still hasn’t found his best form this tournament.

There’s also chat about Alexander Zverev completing a four set win over Jiri Lehecka and a look ahead to his match up against Taylor Fritz.

In part two (41:10), we cover the women’s quarter-finals, as Coco Gauff beat Jessica Pegula and Karolina Muchova overcame Naomi Osaka.

How did Gauff turn that match around and clean up her game? Is it beginning to feel like the kind of slam that Gauff wins? Why could Osaka not play as well as she did against Sabalenka? And how will Gauff vs Muchova look on grass?

Finally (1:06:40), we look ahead to Wednesday’s order of play and the remaining quarter-finals. Who\s the favourite between Jasmine Paolini and Marta Kostyuk? And how will Flavio Cobolli handle not being the crowd favourite against Arthur Fery?
