Summary

Even on a relatively quiet day at the Australian Open, there were still significant results and storylines which altered the feel of the tournament.

We discuss Sofia Kenin’s nerves, the ongoing talking point about how much hard quarantine is affecting players and impacting results, defeats for Maria Sakkari and Victoria Azarenka which have opened up their quarter, a 6-0 6-0 victory for Ash Barty, an injury for Jo Konta, how Rafael Nadal’s back held up in his straight-sets victory, Dan Evans’ disappointment at losing to Cameron Norrie, and Stefanos Tsitsipas' very awkward post-match interview.

The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments.

0:42.3	to the tennis podcast.
0:46.3	Well, full disclosure folks, day two of the 2021 Australian Open wasn't as much of a banger as day one.
1:02.7	In full fairness, it had a tough act to follow, but it didn't quite live up to that act.
1:07.3	But we're going to do our very best to overcompensate with today's tennis podcast.
1:13.8	It was Crocodile Den D2, wasn't it, really?
1:17.1	No, absolutely not. That is not an appropriate analogy.
1:22.2	I've just promised that we'll compensate David and make this a banger of podcasts and you've
1:27.1	just slied off a truly great if in retrospect a little bit racist film.
1:33.9	Yeah, yeah. Anyway, moving on. Yeah, it didn't quite hit the heights of yesterday.
1:42.2	There's still interest in there and we'll be talking about all of it. A number of talking
1:49.2	points that have been raised. But in terms of big results, stand out matches,
