Catherine, David and Matt react live to Novak Djokovic's straight sets victory over Holger Rune and, in particular, to his post match interview when he took on the crowd. There's discussion about what that says about Djokovic's state of mind, analysis of his performance, and debate about where this performance leaves Rune. Elsewhere, there's chat about Taylor Fritz's comeback from two sets down to beat Alexander Zverev, a big milestone for Alex de Minaur but also worry he's injured himself on match points, and praise for how Lorenzo Musetti's game is translating to grass. On the women's side, Elina Svitolina spoke movingly and powerfully about the horrendous bombing of a children's hospital in Ukraine, and Jelena Ostapenko continued her dominant run through the draw. There's also discussion about the amount of indoor matches and a look ahead to the order of play for Tuesday.
