Sue Barker joins Zoe ahead of the Wimbledon Championships getting underway today.

Sports presenter Sue Barker joins Zoe to talk about Wimbledon 2021 and what we can expect from the grass court championships. Plus there's a Disco Ball for you to groove to.

Wake up and embrace the day with Zoe Ball! Between 8am and 9am Zoe keeps the tunes rolling on Maximum Music Monday. And Zoe plays three disco classics from her personal collection in the Disco Ball at 8.30! 

Sue Barker joins Zoe after 8.30 to look ahead to Wimbledon 2021. The tournament was cancelled last year for the first time since the Second World War due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but it is expected to be business as usual this time around. Today marks the Day One of the grass court championships down in SW17 and you can watch all the action on BBC Two. Sue Barker is a former professional tennis player. During her tennis career, she won fifteen WTA Tour singles titles, including one Grand Slam singles title at the 1976 French Open. She reached a career-high singles ranking of World No. 3. She joined the presenting team at Wimbledon in 1993. She took over as host of Today at Wimbledon in 1994 and since 2000 has anchored the two-week-long broadcast.

Zoe also talks to Travis Ludlow, an 18 year old from Buckinghamshire who is attempting to break the world record to be the youngest person ever to fly around the world solo. Travis talks to Zoe live from his current location in Florida about how his trip is going so far and how he got into flying in the first place. 

Along with Clare Runacres on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, she and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought and listeners on the line, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!
