About this episode

Catherine, David and Matt were live from Wimbledon on Day 12 as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner set up a mouthwatering final, while Novak Djokovic looked his age.

In part one we focus on Djokovic and digesting his press conference after his one-sided loss to Sinner. We speculate about what Djokovic’s future may look like now injuries are affecting him and he can’t keep up with Sinner and Alcaraz.

In part two (20m54s) we cover Alcaraz’s four set win over Taylor Fritz, another strong serving performance, and whether we actually like it when he plays this way. There’s also plenty of chat about Fritz, his impressive attitude and consistency in this match and in this tournament, and whether he can one day win a grand slam title. Finally, we can’t help ourselves and we start previewing Alcaraz vs Sinner on Sunday.

In part three (43m16s) we look ahead to tomorrow’s women’s final between Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova. Will Matt be going blond?
