Live from Wimbledon Day 2 - Rybakina, Ro...

David Law, Catherine Whitaker, Matt Roberts
About this episode

Persistent rain meant that only 8 matches were finished on Tuesday and that Catherine, David and Matt needed to shelter from the rain for the Day 2 pod. There's chat about Roger Federer's return to Wimbledon, a nervy start from Elena Rybakina, lots of great shot-making from Carlos Alcaraz and Ons Jabeur, an efficient win and a new service motion for Andy Murray, Aryna Sabalenka's first match back after the Russia and Belarus ban, and a look ahead to Day 3 with an eye-watering 87 singles matches on the schedule.
