Live from Wimbledon Day 5 - British hearts broken; Sabalenka survives

Friday was the day Wimbledon got back on track, with late night wins for Novak Djokovic and Marie Bouzkova ensuring that the schedule will now neatly return to having different halves of the draw on different days. Hallelujah. At the end of it all, Catherine, David and Matt reviewed Novak Djokovic's efficiency, the hurt Andy Murray felt after losing in five sets to Stefanos Tsitsipas, Matteo Berrettini rediscovering his form, a career best moment for Christopher Eubanks, Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka winning despite not being at their best, the prospect of Ons Jabeur vs Bianca Andreescu on Centre Court tomorrow, the longest tiebreak in women's Grand Slam history, and big wins for Elina Svitolina and Victoria Azarenka.
