Live from Wimbledon - Day 1
Спорт
The big headline on Day One was Aryna Sabalenka’s withdrawal due to her shoulder injury. Catherine, David and Matt discuss the news and speculate about who might benefit. Could it be Emma Raducanu after her victory on Monday?
Elsewhere, there’s chat about Naomi Osaka’s topsy turvy victory over Diane Parry, an impressive showing from Diana Schnaider, and an unwanted statistic for Zhang Shuai.
On the men’s side, there’s reaction to Jannik Sinner surviving a brief scare to set up a showdown with Matteo Berretini, Mark Lajal being a fun time against Carlos Alcaraz, Casper Ruud winning on grass and revealing he dealt with a parasite after Paris, and a big comeback victory for Frances Tiafoe.

It says a lot about Sakkari that she is the highest seed left in the "Sabalenka" quarter and she wasn't even mentioned.
Naomi Osaka had a match point against Iga at Roland Garros in the tournament that Iga won 4/5 past years and she’s most comfortable. Now that Osaka is on a surface that’s more suited to her game - I think she’s being overlooked.
This whole story with Sabalenka's health worries me because it looks like it may be something more serious. I hope I am a bad prophet for her her absence, for a longer time, would be very noticeable. Sabalenka's high-class, distinctive style of play and her colorful character, on and off the court, are irreplaceable. I wholeheartedly wish Aryna health and health once again.

agreed, BUT the shrieking, yelling, moaning, etc., I'm so happy not to hear during her absence,

@@slipperyblueclay2521 Thank you for reminding us about one of the most original talents: Dominic Thiem. I encourage all viewers to watch several videos about this player available on KZread. One of the most beautiful one-armed backhands in the history of tennis. It's more of a backhand topspin than a classical backhand. Pure poetry. Sometimes I think that this one-armed backhand caused injuries to the wrist subjected to severe stress. At that time, tennis was changing to more strength based on a long, strong ball at the end of the court, on the base line. This is what we see today.

I think I watched the umbrella collapsing on David's head about 8 times. 😂
We will only have two first time Wimbledon semifinalists in the bottom half of the women's draw because Sabalenka AND Azarenka withdrew. Vika has made the semifinals twice.
If Raducanu shows up - these folks love her.
Beautiful beautiful people
does anyone know what reason Frances gives for refusing to shake the umpire's hand post-match? it seems to be a habit.
Love the gillet!!😍
@20:00 - Emma loss to a LL in Madrid 3 months ago - we can say Emma did a lot better this time 😊
Shout out from Seattle, USA 🎾 ... ¡Vamos Alcaraz!
Frances Tiafoe is the real clown. Surprised you guys didn't talk about the excellent heated 2-set battle between Muchova & Badosa! Also Jordan Thompson coming back to win his match vs Kotov from 2 sets to love down.
Great watching the beer glasses empty!
If David Law calls it, you know it's not happening!
Andreeva and Andreescu. You don’t combine the two E’s. Ahn-dre-eh-va Ahn-dre-es-ku Bonus: Ri-ba-ki-na
Sad that there was no mention of excellent wins by Kartal and Miyazaki

Matt is going to get me obsessing over the lucky loser appellation; how come it did not bother me until now! We need a solution.
Crap
Disappointed to see the women's outfits have not evolved to anything slightly less skimpy. We are still seeing way too much of women's anatomies!
