Episode Notes
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.
