Tennis: Wimbledon Championships
Starts Monday 30 June, 10.30am, BBC Two HD (CH 102)

Jack Draper’s recent success has flown under the radar somewhat. There’s a general understanding that until you’ve made a splash at Wimbledon, you haven’t really made it as a British tennis player. But Draper’s rise to the world’s top four has been meteoric, with some impressive titles along the way including Indian Wells this year and – on grass – the Stuttgart Open in 2024. He’ll be seeded to reach the semi-finals and if he can live up to his billing, he could be the new UK tennis superstar.

In the women’s competition, Britain’s Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter are just outside the seedings and have the talent to upset higher-ranked players, fitness permitting (especially in the unlucky Raducanu’s case). At the top end, it’s wide open. The last eight Wimbledons have produced eight different women’s singles champions and, curiously, none of the world’s top 10 at the time of writing has ever won the singles title. Last year’s runner-up, Jasmine Paolini of Italy, is in great form and would be a popular champion.

It’s all set up for two weeks of superb tennis and it begins on Monday 30 June, with daily live coverage on BBC One HD (CH 101) and BBC Two HD (CH 102) and in Apps > BBC iPlayer.

Jurassic World Dominion
