The Tennis Podcast

The men's semi-finals did not live up to expectations, with straight sets wins for Novak Djokovic over Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz over Daniil Medvedev, but they have set up a mouth-watering final. On the pod, Catherine, David and Matt are joined by BBC commentator Andrew Cotter to talk through it all. There's chat about why Sinner came less close to winning this year against Djokovic, the way Djokovic is using his aura and enjoying his status in the sport, the hindrance call against Djokovic, Medvedev's poor tactics, and the Alcaraz improvement over the last twelve months. All that plus a preview of the women's final between Ons Jabeur and Marketa Vondrousova, and plenty of dog chat with Andrew.
