Aus Open Day 2 – 88 matches and the return of Kyrgioptimism
At the end of a day when 88 matches were played at the Australian Open, Catherine, David and Matt were all in desperate need of a beer as they recorded the latest Tennis Podcast from inside the media centre. They discuss Tiafoe’s encouraging performance in defeat against Medvedev, plenty of British misfortune, whether probation suits Kyrgios and if he will be able to beat Simon, a match which felt like the end of the road for Sharapova, and results which have left predictions in tatters. * NEWSLETTER *Sign up to get our news, predictions and Matt’s Stat.

Aus Open - The draw, the vibe, but where's Catherine?
David and Matt have made it to Melbourne! For now, with Catherine still in the U.K. as she recovers from her eye infection, they are joined by The Telegraph’s Simon Briggs to discuss the controversial build-up to this year’s Australian Open. Simon has been down under for a few weeks, and he gives the lowdown on how he thinks the ATP Cup might affect players, the criticism faced by Tennis Australia as qualifying went ahead in spite of the poor air quality, the main talking points from Thursday's draw ceremony, and the injuries affecting a number of British players.*** KICKSTARTER ***There are two days to go in our crowdfunding campaign.
