The news is crow-barred into the preview pod after its initial recording, with more considered attention given to who might win the men’s and women’s singles titles.

David Law is joined by Simon Briggs from the Telegraph, who thinks that Roger Federer fans are going to be disappointed this time around. So who will dethrone the mighty Swiss?

There’s talk of the chances of Nadal 10 years on from his first victory, and the return of Serena Williams for the first time since giving birth.

And what of Kyle Edmund, who comes into Wimbledon as the British No.1 male for the first time?
