Wimbledon Day 2 - Djokovic passes first test, Swiatek makes grass debut, Draper steps into Murray's shoes

Tennis Weekly

Andy Murray announced his withdrawal from singles in his final Wimbledon and Jack Draper stepped up and into the limelight of Centre Court.

The trio record from The Championships for the first time together and unnpack all the action from the Centre Court as well as from around the grounds. We interview players including Novak Djokovic when Joel questions Novak on whether he broke the all white dress code with his knee support. Ons tells Chris what the fans were saying on her court and Iga Swiatek talks tough draws at slams. We even hear from Jessica Pegula on her trip to a Kingston escape room...

7 time Champion Novak Djokovic seemed in healthy shape as he won his opener against Czech qualifier Vit Kopriva whilst newly seeded British hope Jack Draper came through in a 5 set battle against Ymer under the roof of Centre Court.

Meanwhile, Marketa Vondrousova became the first ladies defending singles champion in 30 years to lose in the first round, falling to relatively unknown Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in straight sets, whilst World Number One Iga Swiatek cruised through over former Grand Slam Champion Sofia Kenin.

The trio also reveal their Collect A Set predictions, and share their other highlights from day 2 of The Championships and preview Day 3.
