In the second week of the grass-court swing, we have now seen almost all of the big names appear at least once as they fine-tune their games for Wimbledon. Elena Rybakina suffered a surprise loss, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune got off to winning starts, and there was a famous comeback victory for the evergreen Venus Williams in Birmingham. We chat to Nicole Pratt and Simon Rea about these results and other players catching their eye on grass, and discuss what makes Novak Djokovic such a strong favourite at Wimbledon. Plus, we sit down with Australian Tennis Magazine editor Viv Christie to preview a bumper June/July issue.
