Muchova’s moment - the first of many?

The Tennis Podcast

About

Catherine, David and Matt discuss an exhilarating week of action across events in Doha, Rotterdam, Dallas and Buenos Aires. 

Part one - WTA Doha (00:00 - 34:36). The joy of seeing Karolina Muchova win another title at last, Victoria Mboko showing she belongs in the Top 10 after incredible wins over Mirra Andreeva and Elena Rybakina, varying degrees of concern for Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova. 

Part two - ATP Results (34:37 - 1:00:00). Alex de Minaur and Ben Shelton make hay in the absence of Alcaraz and Sinner, Daniil Medvedev complains about the balls in Rotterdam defeat, more Dutch drama as Jesper de Jong and Tallon Griekspoor fall out, and a sweet win for Francisco Cerundolo at home in Argentina. 

Part three (1:00:01 - 1:18:14) - News and a look ahead to this week as another 1000 event takes place without its top players.
