It was a wet, wild, and slipp(er)y first week at Wimbledon, which felled a 7-time champion within minutes and saw some electrifying home country heroes show out for their local fans. The faves in the men's draw have sauntered into week two, while a few top clay performers have continued their good form on the women's side. Special shout-outs to Ons Jabeur's stannable barfing moment, the more-fun-than-is-reasonable Venus Williams-Nick Kyrgios mixed doubles pairing, and great stuff from Shapo, Gauff, Samsonova, and more.
1:20 Upsets of Petra, Kenin, Andreescu, Tsitsipas (hey Frances!) -- were they *surprises* or just upsets?
9:10 Surprises: who is quietly sliding into the second week? Garin, Ivashka, Hurkacz, Khachanov
13:40 The women's round of 16 matches and how we got there; Jabeur vs Swiatek is the one we're looking forward to
25:00 Men's round of 16: the three faves -- Djokovic, Fed, and Berrettini -- are still here
33:35 So about the grass ... Mannarino and Serena slip on Centre Court and pull out within an hour of each other. How many slips are too many?
42:55 Andy Murray's electrifying Centre Court matches - it's great theatre
47:15 The critique of Coco Gauff's court assignments
52:40 Favorite moment of week one: Venus-Nick mixed doubles, it was great while it lasted
58:55 Ostapenko's very eventful second and third rounds
66:35 Et ceteras: good on Fowler & Gilbert for talking honestly about Zverev & Basilashvili; Alexandra, what are you doing?
74:45 Thanks to everyone who bought Body Serve merch!
