The Tennis Podcast

On the first ever Sunday start at the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic was pushed to four hours by 18-year-old Dino Prizmic. On the pod, Catherine, David and Matt discuss what made Prizmic's performance so impressive, why Djokovic was full of praise for him, and what effect this might have on Djokovic for the rest of the tournament. The length of that match meant that Aryna Sabalenka didn't step onto court until 11:33pm to a largely empty stadium, meaning the special moment of her return as defending champion was spoiled. She delivered a statement performance though. Elsewhere there's chat about Taylor Fritz and Andrey Rublev surviving five set scares, the return of Amanda Anisimova, mixed success for Australian sensations, Jannik Sinner's rusty first match of the year, Maria Sakkari's new racquet, and much more.
