Wimbledon's roof drama took centre stage and Centre Court as Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner locked in another blockbuster semi-final showdown in a major. At Tennis Weekly HQ, we react to Djokovic's eventful victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime, unpack the controversy surrounding Wimbledon's decision to close the Centre Court roof with daylight still available, and assess whether defending champion Jannik Sinner has found the level needed to stop the seven-time champion after seeing off Jan-Lennard Struff. We also discuss Alexander Zverev's views on the curfew debate after his match was carried over, plus why Taylor Fritz continues to have the German's number ahead of their quarter-final clash.

On the women's side, Coco Gauff battled past Jessica Pegula to reach her first Wimbledon semi-final, while Karolina Muchova ended Naomi Osaka's impressive run to set up a fascinating last-four meeting. We also hear from Gauff after her victory, debate whether Pegula let her biggest chance at a first major slip away, and preview tomorrow’s quarter-final action as British wildcard Arthur Fery looks to continue his remarkable fairytale against Flavio Cobolli.

Arthur Fery's Wimbledon FERY-TALE just keeps getting better! The British wildcard produced a stunning five-set comeback against Grigor Dimitrov to become the first home wildcard in the Open Era to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals. At Tennis Weekly HQ, we break down one of the stories of the tournament, ask whether this is the most unexpected British Grand Slam run in recent memory, and discuss what went wrong for Dimitrov after another heartbreaking missed opportunity at a Grand Slam.

On the women's side, Alexandra Eala's dream Wimbledon run comes to an end against former finalist Jasmine Paolini, while Marta Kostyuk, Linda Noskova and Elise Mertens all reach their maiden Wimbledon quarter-finals as the draw continues to open up. Plus, Chris catches up with doubles champion Henry Patten to discuss Reilly Opelka's comments on doubles, we uncover the secrets and mystique of Wimbledon's exclusive "Last 8 Club", and preview a blockbuster opening day of the quarter-finals featuring Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula's long-awaited Centre Court debut.

Naomi Osaka rolled back the years with a statement straight-sets win over world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, snapping records and streaks in a GRASSAKA masterclass to reach her first Wimbledon quarterfinal. Joel and Chris break down whether Osaka is now the woman to beat, plus we hear from Joel who caught up with Sabalenka straight after her defeat (and yes… there were sweaty palms involved). Jessica Pegula also keeps the American charge going, powering past rising star Iva Jovic to set up a blockbuster all-American clash with Coco Gauff.

On the men’s side, Novak Djokovic made history once again, overtaking Roger Federer for the most Wimbledon match wins after a gritty battle with Roman Safiullin, while Jannik Sinner and Felix Auger-Aliassime keep their title hopes alive after a five-set thriller and some very spicy post-match opinions (Fokina was NOT happy!). We also look ahead to Day 8, with Arthur Fery finally Centre Court-bound against Grigor Dimitrov and Alexandra Eala looking to back up her big win against Iga Swiatek.
