Summary
It felt like the 2020 Australian Open came to life on Thursday evening as a series of matches turned into epics under the lights. Afterwards, Catherine, David and Matt met up to talk about them, as well as everything else they'd seen on a breathless day. Why are Kyrgioptimism levels higher than ever before after his victory over Simon? Why did dust force play to stop? And how has Cici Bellis defied her injuries?

| 0:02.3 | This is Martina Navratelova, I'm Matt Vylander, this is Mary Carrillo. |
| 0:06.0 | I'm San Roenka, I'm Lytton Ewitt, I'm Andy Murray, and you're listening to the Tennis Podcast. |
| 0:21.7 | What a day, what a day we have just had. |
| 0:24.7 | Hardly any of the big names have lost, but we have just had epic upon epic here |
| 0:29.8 | of the Australian Open on day four. Is that accurate? |
| 0:33.6 | Yeah, I would say today is the day that the men's tournament caught fire. |
| 0:39.4 | Yeah, with a breathless night session with three matches all going to |
| 0:46.2 | five sets and having to dash between them and trying to get them all keeping your attention. |

| 1:43.5 | And it ceases to be a tennis complex, like you don't see any tennis courts on your walk. |
| 1:51.7 | On the plus side, apparently it's only $20 to get in and five for kids. |
| 1:55.9 | Oh, it's awesome. It's awesome. It's worth the trip. |
| 1:59.6 | You know, I've been coming here 16 years, I don't think I've ever set foot in there. |
