Summary
Stefanos Tsitsipas is the ATP Finals champion and the future of men’s tennis looks bright.
With the tennis court at the O2 being dismantled around them, Catherine Whitaker and David Law discuss Tsitsipas’ thrilling final set tiebreak victory over Dominic Thiem. Where was the match won and lost? What makes people fall in love with Tsitsipas? How confident can we be that both players will deliver more of the same next year? And what made this such a memorable tournament?
Then, David catches up with Matt Roberts in Madrid ahead of the Davis Cup Finals. There’s chat about what to expect next week as a new era dawns, and insight from Novak Djokovic, Lleyton Hewitt and Leon Smith on media day.
The Tennis Podcast is produced weekly throughout the year, daily during the Grand Slam tournaments, the WTA and ATP Finals, and the Fed Cup and Davis Cup finals.
