Whew, what a day! And it really was George Bellshaw's day as he took the lead on the podcast group chat account - and sauntered around some of Wimbledon's best courts in search of the best story.

Was it...


Defending champion Iga Swiatek downed by slow-serving Alexandra Eala on Centre Court


Elena Rybakina backing up George's assertion that she is not a consistent slam performer by losing to Elise Mertens


Serena Williams having fluid drained from her knee and pulling out of the women's doubles with Venus Williams


Arthur Fery ensuring the Brits WILL have singles representation in the second week with an unlikely five-set win over Grigor Dimitrov


A comeback win for Flavio Cobolli over Karen Khachanov after stomach trouble and a Davis Cup-like atmosphere on No 2 Court

George Bellshaw and James Gray are back to discuss everything that happened on the fifth day of Wimbledon, including...

Rafa Jodar is beaten by Shintaro Mochizuki and Joao Fonseca loses to Roman Safiullin to leave our "Super Sunday" dreams in tatters...

...but at least Naomi Osaka and Aryna Sabalenka won to keep up their ends of the bargain

Novak Djokovic gets his daytime match, still slips around and then drops another set, this time to Arthur Rinderknech

Belinda Bencic wins a thriller against Anna Kalinskaya

Daniil Medvedev is out
