Summary

Rafael Nadal and Bianca Andreescu both did something they had never done when they won their titles in Canada, and the Tennis Podcast team were on hand to talk about them afterwards.

With Catherine Whitaker courtside in Montreal, and David Law hosting from ‘sunny’ Solihull at 1am, conversation covered the drama that follows Andreescu wherever she goes, the retirement after just 4 games of Serena Williams, and the form of Nadal heading into the US Open.

Plus, Andy Murray will make his return to singles for the first time since surgery on Monday. The pod team discuss his prospects.

And there’s a political shake-up, with Nadal and Roger Federer joining the ATP Player Council alongside Novak Djokovic. What does them joining mean for the sport?
