Iga's A+ performance, Berrettini BOSS DRAMA + Dimitrov UPSETS Mensik | Wimbledon 2026

Iga Swiatek is finding her grass-court groove, Matteo Berrettini is rolling back the years, and Arthur Fery is flying the British flag after becoming the last home player standing in the Wimbledon singles draws.

At Tennis Weekly HQ, we react to Swiatek’s dominant display against Karolina Pliskova as the defending champion sets up a fascinating third-round clash with rising star Alexandra Eala. We also ask whether her performance really deserved the A+ awarded by Martina Navratilova, or whether Swiatek’s own more modest B grade was closer to the mark. Elsewhere, Elena Rybakina, Amanda Anisimova and Madison Keys all continued their impressive progress into the third round.

On the ATP side, Matteo Berrettini continued his resurgence with a four-set win over Arthur Fils and even revealed to us why Wimbledon refused to let him wear a Hugo Boss walk-on suit. We also celebrate Arthur Fery’s breakthrough run, debate Learner Tien’s extraordinary post-match McDonald’s feast, discuss why Novak Djokovic finally got his Centre Court wish, and preview a blockbuster Day 5 featuring Aryna Sabalenka against Jelena Ostapenko, while wondering whether Serena and Venus Williams’ long-awaited doubles reunion will actually happen.
