It's got great atmosphere, huge crowds and there've already been some exciting matches, a couple of upsets…" Croft said.

The commentator recalled being in the broadcast booth to witness the return of Serena Williams, who was eliminated by 20-year-old Australian player Maya Joint.

"I thought her level was absolutely jaw-dropping.

I felt like she would have beaten three quarters of the draw with the level she played, but she was against a young, up-and-coming star who matched it and raised the bar," Croft said.

Croft described the intense atmosphere inside the stadium during the former champion's emotional exit.

"It was an incredible night witnessing [Serena's] comeback, getting the standing ovation, and just the electricity around the whole arena," Croft said.

However, she noted that the American star appeared visibly dissatisfied with the final outcome.

"But I know she wasn't happy, because the handshake was pretty swift," Croft said.

The television pundit explained that she collaborates with her youngest daughter, Lily, to choose her daily on-camera outfits for the broadcast.

"I love fashion and being able to use Wimbledon as a place to enjoy the fashion as well," Croft said.

She noted that her children provide direct feedback regarding her wardrobe choices before she goes on air.

"She'll come into my dressing area and start picking out things and going, 'I think you should wear this, don't wear that, no, that looks awful'," Croft said.
