Stephen and Duncan make an early start on Saturday morning to discuss the fallout from the NBA Finals and the Wimbledon draw.

That Oklahoma’s first title was overshadowed by an Achilles injury for Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton in game seven, suggests something must be done about the physical demands on the game’s top basketball players.

But Duncan wonders if changes are likely given the NBA’s assorted vested interests.

In tennis, the boys are both reeling from Friday’s Wimbledon draw.

Carlos Alcaraz was given a draw of his dreams, while Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu were handed nightmare scenarios.

But Monday and Tuesday are set to challenge everyone in the draw, with temperatures forecast to be in the mid-30s Celsius.

Stephen talks weather precedent and explains what action the tournament organisers may take if it gets too toasty.
