Welcome to the Wimbledon briefing, where will explain the stories behind the stories on each day of the tournament. On day two, a series of upsets set records, a champion waved goodbye to Wimbledon, and a French Open star took full advantage of her opportunity as a lucky loser.

One of the reasons for that has to do with the playing surface of the Grand Slam tournament. "It’s a completely different surface than the others," Lorenzo Musetti told The Athletic. Defending back-to-back Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz told The Athletic last year that he has to "learn how to move better" and "how to play better" when he takes the courts at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club.
