Live from Wimbledon Day 2 - Huge names gone, what’s going on?

Live from Wimbledon Day 2 - Huge names gone, what’s going on?

Day 2 at Wimbledon was hot, it was humid, and there was havoc as more seeds fell at the first hurdle.

In Part 1 we discuss the shock exit of Coco Gauff at the hands of Dayana Yastremska and what it says about the difficulty of backing up a French Open win when Wimbledon is right around the corner. We also lost recent title winner Jessica Pegula and then Zheng Qinwen. Some big names did go through, most notably Iga Swiatek and defending champion Barbora Krejcikova. Finally, we cover Petra Kvitova’s last match on the grass courts of SW19.

In Part 2 (36m44s) we talk though the matches held over from last night, in which there were very different fates for a fang-tastic Fritz who fought back to beat Giovanni MPetshi Perricard, and a chastened Zverev who went down to Arthur Rinderknech. We discuss some difficult moments in his press conference and what he needs to change to find his form. There were emotional wins today for veterans Dan Evans and Gael Monfils, and whilst Musetti struggled with his post-injury form, big names Sinner, Draper and Djokovic all went through with relative ease.

In Part 3 (72m08s) we look ahead to tomorrow’s order of play and its tantalising line-up of second round matches, many of which are now not quite what we expected.
