Cincinnati - Is tennis losing a generation?

It was one of the most special days in the history of the Aegon Championships on Friday, with four of the tournament's eight four-time champions present to receive replica trophies in front of a packed Centre Court crowd. Roy Emerson, John McEnroe, Boris Becker and Lleyton Hewitt all talked to The Tennis Podcast about their memories, and McEnroe gives his early impressions about coaching, which he appears to have taken to well. There's also a preview of the semifinals, which pit Andy Murray against Marin Cilic, and Milos Raonic vs. Bernard Tomic.

It was a frustrating, rain-interrupted day at The Aegon Championships, but that hasn't stopped The Tennis Podcast team hunting down the biggest names for a chat. It's 20 years since Richard Krajicek won the Wimbledon title, but as well as looking annoyingly young at 44, he's also thrilled to be back on the road, this time as a coach. As he tells Catherine Whitaker, he has craved a coaching role for more than a decade, and now he has the chance to make an impact on grass with Stan Wawrinka.  Milos Raonic Plays 'Which Art Gallery?' with Gigi Salmon, and Grigor Dimitrov explains the reasons for his love affair with The Queen's Club.

In a Tennis Podcast to review the men’s and women’s French Open finals, we flash back to when presenter David Law interviewed Federer in August 2010, while the great man was the same age as Djokovic is now (29), and on 16 Grand Slam titles.
