Summary

The old Davis Cup atmosphere is alive and well if today is anything to go by in Madrid, even if only when the home nation plays. Spain vs. Russia was electric, and at the time of recording - well after midnight - it was still going on.

Why did it go on so late? How was Rafael Nadal playing? And what was the deal with Canada allowing the USA a walkover in their doubles rubber?

Matt Roberts was still in Madrid as the clock neared 1am, and talked to David Law about an interesting 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.

0:41.8

One of the reasons why we're able to produce this many shows and yeah, we can't thank all of you

0:47.5

enough who've supported us over the last year. Nearly 130 shows we've produced now, I think it

1:39.9

but it's very Spain, very Madrid and if there's one city where you can get away with it,

1:44.8

it probably is this one but yes, I'm having to slightly keep my voice down because I'm in the

1:50.8

media centre, don't want to disturb anyone but I am absolutely buzzing having just been on court for

1:56.8

Nadal. You were on court with Nadal? I was, yes, he beat me in two.
