Wimbledon is back and so are we! Highs for Murray, lows for Serena, and Centre Court vibes
Episode 8
Thursday, 1 July, 2021
Points to Defend is back and better than ever! New logo, posts on social, and a new starting point - the first Wimbledon in two years - what better way to start a glow up. Everyone loves the grass court season, no one quite as much as Andy Murray and Nick Kyrgios, making their return to The Championships in incredible form - albeit thanks to the fans on centre court. Murray looks like the British icon of old, shouting at himself no matter the scoreline. We unfortunately lost Serena Williams early in the tournament - but what an outfit and in the brief 6 games she played she had the whole court watching her. Roger Federer kicked off his quest for a 9th Wimbledon title in mixed fashion, showing us maybe clay is his new favourite surface. He did look good whilst doing it though. We can't really look past Novak Djokovic either, bullying poor Jack Draper by letting him have the first set before crushing him in 4 and making Kevin Anderson relive his 2018 loss to the world no.1. The WTA are quickly losing their top seeds, with 3 of the top 10 left in the draw, whilst the likes of Carla Suarez Navarro and Kiki Bertens bowed out of their last Wimbledon in style. With slips and upsets across the board, the first two rounds of The Championships really have given us the content we missed out on last year.
