Wimbledon R1: Serena crashes out, Berrettini heartbreak & Raducanu fights on
In the latest episode of Tennis Weekly, Joel and Chris roundup the main action from Round One of Wimbledon. They discuss how Matteo Berrettini and Marin Cilic didn’t make it onto court as they both test positive for Covid-19. Will Wimbledon need to make a policy change to control the outbreak?

It’s business as usual for Iga Swiatek who opens her campaign with a…you guessed it bagel on her way to a straight sets win. Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are less than convincing in their open matches both dropping sets. With the draw opening up will it matter that they aren’t playing their best? Joel and Chris also discuss the reduced crowd attendance for Day 1 and 2 and what might be causing some of the half empty stadiums. They also reveal their Collect A Set picks, which have been sent spiraling after Serena’s exit and Berrettini’s withdrawal.
