Live from Wimbledon Day 2 - Murray: It wasn’t meant to be; Champ Vondrousova crashes out

It was an emotional day at Wimbledon as Marketa Vondrousova was beaten in the first round and revealed that the pressure and nerves of being the defending champion were too much. Catherine, David and Matt talk a lot about that and get to know her opponent, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, who played superbly and has an epic tattoo. Before all that, Andy Murray withdrew from the singles, leaving the pod team feeling a mixture of sadness and relief. He was replaced on Centre Court by Jack Draper who did his best Murray impression over five sets. Elsewhere, there's analysis of impressive first round wins (for different reasons) for Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic, a tough but familiar loss for Andrey Rublev, a statement performance from Jelena Ostapenko, and much more.
