Summary

Our third and final instalment of Sliding Doors tennis sees us talk about a medley of moments which have shaped Roger Federer’s career, the period Serena Williams missed after stepping on glass in 2010, and a world in which Billie Jean King didn’t win the Battle of the Sexes.

We also discuss the news that Federer will miss the Australian Open and that Andy Murray will start his 2021 season in Delray Beach.

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.

0:55.9	Yes, I'm worthy of my place on the tennis podcast again.
1:01.4	What was the low point of Christmas that made you suddenly wish tennis was happening again?

2:12.4	Too busy. Got another podcast record on Thursday and the kids are still not at school.
2:18.5	Never want to deny a gauntlet. I beat him last time. So, you know, oh, right.
