We’re back from our first ever trip to Wimbledon with lots of stories from the grounds and our impressions of the whole British Empire of it all (it's intoxicating at the same time). We were there for the hottest opening day in Wimbledon’s history, and the heat seemed to wreak havoc on the draw, with 36 seeds out by the end of round two. We’ll take you through the draws and some notable matches we saw -- Fritz-Mpetshi Perricard, Krejcikova-Eala, Sabelanka-Branstine, plus Mboko, Baptiste, and ‘Cos’ Giron. Plus, if you’re curious about the various ways to get Wimbledon tickets, we’ve got you (even though it’s still not easy).
2:00 What it was like being at Wimbledon: Let’s start with the food
10:05 Around the grounds: ivy, flowers, Henman Hill, Hailey the Baptist
30:30 How does one get tickets to Wimbledon?
39:30 It was really hot and a bunch of seeds fell
47:00 Women’s draw: #2-6 are out but Andreeva and Swiatek remain in the bottom half …
57:30 Men’s draw: Fritz hanging on, Alcaraz playing entirely too many sets
