Day 1 of Wimbledon is in the books, and after a slow start due to rain, the day came to life as Sofia Kenin rediscovered her 2020 Australian Open form to beat Coco Gauff in a thrilling, high-quality three-setter. Catherine, David and Matt discuss that, the state of Gauff's game, Venus Williams' special return to Centre Court which ended in unfortunate fashion, victories for Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic which were interrupted by rain, tough days for Dan Evans, Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime, and long queues to get in.
