  • Wimbledon Day 5 Recap w/ 2024 Wimbledon Champion Coach, Calvin Betton
    Jul 3 2026

    CTC Wimbledon Live: Day 5, Calvin Betton, the Doubles Battle and the "Older Boys" Doing Their Job

    Day 5 of our Wimbledon 2026 daily live series, recorded inside the grounds. Brought to you by Novellus.

    Live every night at 9pm UK across the Wimbledon fortnight, with Wimbledon champions, tennis icons and special guests joining Dan to break down the day's biggest stories from inside the grounds at SW19.

    Dan and Calvin talk on the fight for the future of doubles

    There's a fight going on off the court this week that could reshape the sport for a generation. The ATP's proposed changes would cut doubles draws, shift the prize money split further in favour of singles, and effectively push doubles specialists out of the game. Dan shares his unfiltered take tonight, plus what current Wimbledon champions Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool said publicly today, and Calvin Betton's fired-up response.

    In this episode:

    • Major Moments (brought to you by SotoTennis Academy): the older boys deliver as Sinner and Djokovic cruise into R4, while the young stars fall on grass
    • Djokovic beats Rinderknech in four to equal Federer's all-time Wimbledon record of 105 match wins

    • TennisAthlete Player of the Day: Shintaro Mochizuki, the 2019 Wimbledon boys' champion turned qualifier turned R4-bound, seven matches in eight days at SW19
    • Calvin Betton on coaching Patten and Heliövaara to the 2024 Wimbledon title, and being the "face of reason" in the box when everyone else was overwhelmed
    • Calvin's unfiltered defence of doubles: why the ATP is a governing body not a business, why "not financially viable" doesn't hold up, and why the 2024 Wimbledon final was proof
    • The Wimbledon Quickfire with Calvin: the Agassi 1991 all-white moment, his Wimbledon guilty pleasure, and his one thing he'd change about The Championships
    • Dear Dan: an insider tip for a first-time Wimbledon visitor, and what Dan actually loves about being a coach on the pro tour

    Tomorrow on the show: Middle Saturday at Wimbledon, with Danny Sapsford joining Dan.
