Wimbledon Day 3 - Kyle Edmund Fades Badly; Ruthless Azarenka Wins 21 Games In A Row; Murray/Serena Reaction
The Day 3 Tennis Podcast from Wimbledon sees Catherine back alongside David and Matt, and the main topic of conversation is Kyle Edmund's disappointing defeat from two sets up against Fernando Verdasco. What went wrong? Edmund's post-match press conference left us with more questions than answers.Elsewhere, there's a look at the day's other notable results, including Reilly Opelka's comeback victory against Stan Wawrinka and the ruthless form of Victoria Azarenka. We also react to last night's news that Andy Murray will partner Serena Williams in the mixed doubles.Looking ahead to Thursday's order of play, there's real excitement for Rafael Nadal vs. Nick Kyrgios, confusion over the respective court assignments for Kei Nishikori (Centre) and Ash Barty (No.2), and a real sense of anticipation ahead of Andy Murray's doubles debut.There will be daily editions of The Tennis Podcast throughout Wimbledon, produced in association with The Telegraph.Social Media:Instagram - http://po.st/TTP_InstagramTwitter - http://po.st/TTP_TwitterFacebook - http://po.st/TTP_Facebook Hosted on Acast.

Queen’s Day 5 - Felix Auger-Aliassime Arrives
The name Felix Auger-Aliassime has been thrown around for a few years, and his rise up the rankings this year has been one of the most interest talking points of 2019.Even the Tennis Podcast team weren’t expecting what he produced this week at Queen’s, beating Grigor Dimitrov, Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas in the space of 26 hours.He’s now into the semifinals against Feliciano Lopez, a man more than twice his age. Lopez came back from a set down to beat Milos Raonic in a final set tie-break.Perhaps the winner of the title will be Daniil Medvedev, who squashed Diego Schwartzman 6-2, 6-2.

Queen’s Day 4 - Andy Murray Is Back
When Andy Murray struggled to haul himself onto a stool so that Catherine Whitaker could interview him in Australia, the idea that he would play stunning doubles at The Queen’s Club and celebrate like a big kid would have seemed frankly ridiculous.But that’s what has happened. Catherine spoke live to Murray for Prime Video after his straight sets win alongside Feliciano Lopez against top seeds Cabal and Farah, and David sat in on all of his interviews. Murray could not stop talking. It was a joyous occasion.Elsewhere, Stefanos Tsitsipas scraped through against Jeremy Chardy, and now meets Felix Auger-Aliassime, who played extraordinarily well to beat both Grigor Dimitrov and Nick Kyrgios in the same day. Kyrgios had further run-ins with officialdom. And repeat.The Tennis Podcast is produced with Telegraph Sport, and available daily throughout the Fever-Tree Championships at The Queen’s Club, and Wimbledon. Hosted on Acast.
