Description
As the annual tennis festival that is 'Manic Monday' comes and goes, David & Catherine meet in their usual spot on the broadcast roof to analyse not only the matches themselves, but also their scheduling. Six men's and three women's matches on the three main show courts, and Djokovic relegated to Court One once again while Federer enjoys his usual Centre Court procession - is it fair? And if not, does it even matter so long as the paying public are happy?And what of the women's round of 16 matches.. How much can we really learn from Serena Williams demolition of Evgenia Rodina? And why does Catherine have a funny feeling that Saturday's Champion might end up being the winner of the quarter final between Angelique 'The Absorber' Kerber and Daria 'The Magician' Kasatkina? And just how on earth is Camila Giorgi averaging 36 winners per match? All this is debated and dissected, with a small dollop of #PollVault thrown in for good measure.The Tennis Podcast will be daily throughout Wimbledon, presented by David Law and Catherine Whitaker.It is produced in associated with Telegraph Sport and sponsored by Amazon Prime Video, the new home of the US Open in the UK.
