Summary

ATP Tour tennis is back with the first big, combined women's and men's tournament since the pandemic struck down Indian Wells in March. With the 'Cincinnati' draw made, Catherine, David and Matt assembled once more to discuss the highlights, catch up on latest news, and also release our big interview with Lindsay Davenport (from 38.00).

Is the WTA draw now more star-studded than the men's draw, despite the withdrawals?

What did we think of Novak Djokovic's interview with Chris Clarey in the New York Times (linked below)?

And thoughts are exchanged about Denis Shapovalov's rap video.

Later, Davenport talks about tennis in front of no fans, her own career, and the greatness of Serena and Venus Williams.

The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts, and will be daily throughout the US Open.

Next week, we will produce two big special editions, focusing on first Althea Gibson, and then Arthur Ashe.
