    18: Centre Stage At Wimbledon /w Marcus Willis, John Parry & Nicole Melichar
    Jun 22 2021
    Ahead of Wimbledon, Andrew, Craig and Anna are joined by Marcus Willis, John Parry and Nicole Melichar, who lifts the lid on what it’s like to be the centre of attention on Centre Court.   Marcus Willis talks about his famous encounter with Roger Federer in 2016 and the two current top-10 names he beat in qualifying to get there.   Former umpire John Parry, now 82, reminisces about his long career in the chair, which included taking charge of eight Wimbledon finals – most notably the 1987 women’s singles final between Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf, and the 1989 men’s singles final.   And Nicole Melichar recalls her run to lifting the 2018 mixed-doubles title, being inspired by her Grandmother, and closing out proceedings on Centre Court.   Also, Craig and Anna predict who might emerge triumphant at the end of the fortnight – and we reveal how the tournament only exists because of a broken piece of maintenance equipment.
