BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

2015 WIMBLEDON TENNIS

ESPN, 8:00 a.m. ET

The opening day of Week 2 at Wimbledon is to tennis fans what a college bowl game day is to football fans: nonstop action, all day long. The round of 16 begins today, and all players, men and women, play today in hopes of advancing. Several top seeds have been upset already, including Rafael Nadal. But there’s plenty of action and excitement still to come – starting this morning in particular: among the opening matches covered live by ESPN this morning is the latest example of the sport’s most electrifying sibling rivalry: Serena Williams vs. Venus Williams, who first faced each other at Wimbledon 15 years ago, in the semifinals (pictured). Today, they start serving right at 8 a.m. ET, so tune in early.

PENN & TELLER: FOOL US

CW, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: The premise of this show is simple: amateur magicians perform their bits of business in front of, and sometimes with the involvement of, master illusionists Penn Gillette and Teller. If Penn & Teller are impressed, so are we. It’s a basic idea, but always fun because of the hosts, who also serve up some enjoyable tricks of their own. Last year, Fool Us seemed like a one-off summer series, but it fooled us. Presto: It’s back!

PENNY DREADFUL

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

In case you missed last night’s intense season finale of Penny Dreadful, here it is again, in prime time. Don’t miss it twice. Eva Green stars.

P.O.V.: "TOUGH LOVE"

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s installment is called Tough Love, and examines two separate custody cases – of parents trying to regain custody of children taken away from them. It’s a tough fight, and emotional, and sometimes very hard to judge – which, looking at it from a legal standpoint, is the point of this study. Check local listings.

THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART

Comedy Central, 11:00 p.m. ET

Jon Stewart is taking the week off – one last break before he comes back for his final laps – but even Stewart’s Daily Show reruns, out of their current-events context, are fun to watch. Tonight’s isn’t that old a repeat: It’s from last week, with guest Jon Hamm, enjoying a very playful relationship with the show’s host. They’re very good together. And remember: If it’s older Daily Show vintages you care to sample, the Comedy Central website’s “Month of Zen” feature continues to live stream, in order, every Daily Show program Stewart has ever done. As I type this on Monday morning, we’re up to October 2002, and the guest is Peter Jennings (pictured)… who, admitting that Stewart says everything on his show that Jennings would love to say on ABC World News Tonight, was charming.
