Madrid Madness underway; Why Doesn't Portugal Have More Tennis Champions? Just How Good Could Monica Seles Have Been?

After a week when the Munich, Estoril and Prague titles were all won by home favourites, attention now turns to Madrid, which is a veritable who’s who of the best, healthy tennis players in the world. Catherine Whitaker, sitting in a car park, and David Law in a window-less room, go through a draw that has thrown up some corkers.

The wins of Alexander Zverev in Munich, Petra Kvitova in Prague and Joao Sousa in Estoril are covered, and David wants to know why Portugal, where Sousa’s triumph was celebrated, has produced so few top players over the years.

The awful stabbing of Monica Seles is remembered, 25 years on. Just how good could she have been if that had not happened?

Seles features in many listeners’ memories of the best matches of the 1990s.

The Tennis Podcast is produced weekly throughout the year and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments, in association with Telegraph Sport and Eurosport. It is presented by Catherine Whitaker (Eurosport) and David Law (BBC 5 Live, BT Sport).

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
