The Tennis Podcast

Catherine, David and Matt are back to discuss the best of the action so far in Indian Wells. Part one - ATP Results. Matt Futterman checks in from on site at Indian Wells to set the scene and we get some insight from Paul Haarhuis on the marvel that is Botic van de Zandschulp after his victory over Novak Djokovic. We also chat about what that defeat might mean for Djokovic, the iconic return of Lance Davis, the court surface dividing opinion, yet another defeat for Alexander Zverev, a nice win for Jack Draper over Joao Fonseca, and the fun run of Yosuke Watanuki. Part two (from 36mins) - WTA Results. We talk about how Iga Swiatek is barely dropping games, the bottom half Last 16 is stacked with great matches, Coco Gauff is winning ugly again, Naomi Osaka playing ‘the worst match of her life’, and a clash between the two best backhands in the world. Part three (from 49m14s) - News. The WTA announces a new maternity fund, but at what cost as its paid for by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund?
