Summary

After a dramatic day of tennis, Catherine, David and Matt discuss all the winners and losers from the opening week of the season. There's chat about Germany's extraordinary victory at the United Cup, our thoughts and feelings about the second edition of that event, Alex de Minaur's Top 10 debut, Elena Rybakina's dominant display to thrash Aryna Sabalenka in Brisbane, a first title since 2017 for Grigor Dimitrov, and Rafael Nadal's withdrawal from the Australian Open. We also cover Coco Gauff's victory in Auckland, the current state of television coverage of tennis in the UK, and, of course, Catherine's trip to see the quokkas.
