Day 10 Wimbledon Recap w/ Lee Childs Talking About Playing Rafa Nadal At SW19!

Day 10 of our Wimbledon 2026 daily live series, recorded inside the grounds. Brought to you by Novellus.

Live every night at 9pm UK across the Wimbledon fortnight, with Wimbledon champions, tennis icons and special guests joining Dan to break down the day's biggest stories from inside the grounds at SW19.

In this episode:

• Major Moments (brought to you by SotoTennis Academy): Arthur Fery makes British tennis history and the semi-final line-up is confirmed
• Fery beats Flavio Cobolli 6-4, 7-6, 6-0 on Centre Court, only the 5th British man to reach a Wimbledon SF in the Open Era and only the second wildcard since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001.
• Alexander Zverev's straight-set dismantling of Taylor Fritz, and whether the French Open champion has now truly clicked into the next gear
• First-time Wimbledon semi-finalists Marta Kostyuk and Linda Noskova into the women's SFs, both under 25 and both playing career-best tennis
• Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool's title defence ends 6-2, 7-6 to Arévalo and Pavić, with Cash broken twice on serve
• A very personal Dan moment: Gabriela Dabrowski and Luisa Stefani, the team Dan is coaching, into the women's doubles semi-finals with a dominant 6-1, 6-2 win
• TennisAthlete Player of the Day: Arthur Fery, the third time this fortnight, for the physical resilience of putting together the deepest British men's Wimbledon run in years
• Lee Childs joins the show on his 2003 Wimbledon run and playing 17-year-old Rafael Nadal in the second round on Court 13
• The Wimbledon Quickfire with Lee Childs
• Dear Dan: how much time coaches actually spend watching other players' matches during a Slam, and how to strike the balance between focus and enjoyment in a Grand Slam quarter-final

Tomorrow on the show: Day 11 delivers Fery vs Zverev in the semi-finals, plus Djokovic vs Sinner on Centre Court, plus the doubles semi-finals across the men's, women's and mixed draws.
