Live from Wimbledon Day 9 - New Svitolina rolls on; Djokovic tells kids ‘It ain’t happening’

Two of the singles semi-finals at Wimbledon are set: Elina Svitolina vs Marketa Vondrousova and Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner.

On the podcast, Catherine, David and Matt are joined by Simon Briggs of The Telegraph to talk about Tuesday's quarter-finals. How did Svitolina show again that she's transformed as a player? How much traction is her story getting in the UK press? What happened to Swiatek's forehand? And how much regret will Jessica Pegula have about losing a 4-1 lead in the final set as she tried to reach her first Grand Slam semi-final?

On the men's side, there's chat about Novak Djokovic's adaptability, a good performance from Andrey Rublev that wasn't enough, whether Jannik Sinner can go one better than his strong showing last year against Djokovic, and much excitement for Carlos Alcaraz vs Holger Rune.
