Taylor Fritz was not on the schedule today so Catherine, David and Matt were live at the scheduled time of 9.30pm to bring you all the news from Day 6 at Wimbledon.
In Part 1 we cover the women’s results, starting with Iga Swiatek’s statement win over Danielle Collins, her ebullient interviews, and what jt might all mean for this tournament. Combined with Clara Tauson’s victory over Elena Rybakina, it was surely a good day for Swiatek. We also discuss Mirra Andreeva’s comfortable victory over Hailey Baptiste, and the sad scenes of Barbora Krejcikova being physically compromised in the latter stages of her defeat to Emma Navarro.
In Part 2 (40m19s) we discuss Novak Djokovic beating fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic and whether Alex de Minaur has any chance against him this year. Jannik Sinner has been imperious to the point of it being statistically significant and he saw off Pedro Martinez with no trouble at all. We also cover victories for Lorenzo Sonego, Ben Shelton, Flavio Cobolli and also for Grigor Dimitrov, who finally seems to be stringing some matches together without injury.
In part 3 (62m25s) we look ahead to tomorrow’s order of play. Can Sonay Kartal and Cameron Norrie continue the British run by beating Anastasia Pavyluchenkova and Nicolas Jarry? Will Carlos Alcaraz be focused on the job in hand? And can Taylor Fritz win in less than five sets?
