On Day 7 of Wimbledon 2025 Catherine, David and Matt were live straight after Amanda Anisimova surged into the quarter-finals.

In part 1 we cover the women’s results, starting of course with Anisimova’s victory over Linda Noskova taking us one step closer to a blond Matt Roberts. We also go into detail on Anastasia Pavyluchenkova’s win over Sonay Kartal, the story of her year, and the electronic line calling fail which overshadowed the match. There’s also chat about Aryna Sabalenka’s high-quality win over Elise Mertens, and the unique challenge that awaits her in the next round when she faces Laura Siegemund and her exploits.

In part 2 (40m20s) we react to Carlos Alcaraz’s win over an impressive Andrey Rublev, an unfortunate retirement for Jordan Thompson against Taylor Fritz, an impressive dispatching of Kamil Majchrzak by Karen Khachanov, and a five set marathon between Nicolas Jarry and Cameron Norrie, which included some lowkey aggro and was eventually won by Norrie in front of a delighted Court 1 crowd.

In part 3 (59m08s) we looked ahead to tomorrow’s order of play. What chance do we give De Minaur against Djokovic, Dimitrov against Sinner, and Tauson against Swiatek?
