Doesn't the player protest over prize money feel an awfully long time ago? Since then, so much has happened. Here's what this last podcast for a few days covers... Cruz Hewitt, son of Lleyton, reaches the boys' final but loses to an American qualifier called Jordan Lee It's a serve-fest in the men's final with one of the lowest average rally lengths in years Alexander Zverev takes the first set and seems to have grown a forehand... ...but Jannik Sinner hangs tough and waits him out, sticking to the gameplan and eventually breaking the German down Zverev is in real danger of becoming likeable, charming the Wimbledon crowd with his acceptance speech Meanwhile, Sinner remains a character with whom the British public struggle to connect Learn more about your ad choices.

Listen to the full version of this episode here: https://www.patreon.com/TennisUnfiltered/posts/wimbledon-2026-163552660 **** Grand slam champions - AGAIN! Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara have done the TUSCers proud at Wimbledon by triumphing in straight sets over Arevalo and Pavic. We've given Calvin Betton the evening off - and he was about four beers deep by the time we sat down to record. Instead, Eleanor Crooks is back to join James and chat about a straightforward (thank goodness...) win for the lads and the women's final. Linda Noskova very nearly goes all Jana Novotna and chokes a stunning lead - but completed an impressive reset after the second set to make sure she secured her first grand slam title Karolina Muchova produces her best line of the tournament by congratulating her "ex-friend" in her post-match speech Henry and Harri win two more tie-breaks to claim their third grand slam title - and Henry takes a well-aimed swipe at the ATP in his own speech Learn more about your ad choices.

Listen to the full version of this episode here: https://www.patreon.com/TennisUnfiltered/posts/wimbledon-2026-163383368 **** It's always a pleasure to have Eleanor Crooks sub in on the podcast: the Press Association's tennis correspondent is one of the very best tour-mates in tennis and what she doesn't know about tennis probably isn't worth knowing. She was covering the women's semi-finals on Thursday, so who better to have on while James waits for Calvin to gladhand his way round the locker-room after guiding Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara to a third grand slam final. Here is the big news from the second Thursday of Wimbledon. Coco Gauff dumps a drop shot into the net on match point and is dumped out of the tournament four points later by Karolina Muchova Linda Noskova makes it an all-Czech final as she beats Marta Kostyuk in straight sets, twice breaking at 4-5 to ensure she never had to serve it out Calvin assesses the chances of a player he has known for years, Arthur Fery, who is preparing for the biggest challenge of his life, up against Alexander Zverev in the first semi-final on Friday Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic will follow them on Centre Court in a blockbuster semi-final, the world No 1 against the all-time GOAT Carlos Alcaraz has already pulled out of the Masters event in Montreal, taking his wrist injury layoff to four months at least Learn more about your ad choices.

    Wimbledon 2026, Day 8: All aboard the Arthur Fery + Eala crashes out + Zverev loses his day off

    If you want to support the podcast, get full-length daily podcasts from grand slams, ad-free listening and so much more, go to ⁠⁠www.patreon.com/TennisUnfiltered⁠⁠ and sign up for the Tennis Unfiltered Supporters Club. **** Look, it’s fair to say that George and James were a little sleep deprived after both making bad football-related decisions on Sunday night. So if they got a little bit silly at Wimbledon on Monday, that’s why. Genuinely, no drink had been taken. They even forgot to mention Alex de Minaur. We’re sorry. We don’t really know what got into them. Arthur Fery keeps British hopes alive by winning a five-set thriller over Grigor Dimitrov, but is that the worst defeat of the Bulgarian’s career? James’s Linda Noskova prediction gets better every day as Madison Keys is the latest victim Alexander Zverev gets shafted by the schedule and loses his day off Does Alexandra Eala have the worst serve in the draw? James certainly was blown away by her first serve bottoming out at 65 miles per hour in defeat to Italy’s Jasmine Paolini  Taylor Fritz’s serene progress continues with a speedy win over Alexander Bublik Marta Kostyuk is done by lunchtime and slips under the radar into the quarter-finals AND FINALLY, George has finished his novel. **** To become a member of the Tennis Unfiltered Supporters Club, head to: https://www.patreon.com/tennisunfiltered Learn more about your ad choices.

But we've done our best to pick up all the best stories from Middle Sunday (once a day off for the overworked courts and reporters). Naomi Osaka handed Aryna Sabalenka her first straight-sets defeat at a slam for six years, overpowering the world No 1 on Centre Court to reach her first ever Wimbledon quarter-final She will face Karolina Muchova in the last eight after she won the battle of the Czechs against Barbora Krejcikova Jessica Pegula produced an impressive comeback win over the ever-improving Iva Jovic and will play Coco Gauff (see below) Novak Djokovic is safely through but did drop a set and expended more energy than he would have liked in the sun, while Jannik Sinner played in a cool evening and bagged victory in three sets Jan-Lennard Struff is the oldest-ever first-time major quarter-finalist at 36, after Hubert Hurkacz's back caught up with him in the fifth set And Felix Auger-Aliassime is NOT happy about Alejandro Davidovich Fokina's badly timed medical timeout AND WE MISSED... Coco Gauff reaching her first Wimbledon quarter-final in the nick of time, beating Belinda Bencic and the SW19 curfew by just two minutes. Sorry, we were already heading to bed...
