Summary
Not a single ball struck at the Fever-Tree Championships on Tuesday after only the third washout in the last 18 years.
But that doesn't mean there's no Tennis Podcast, as David Law and Catherine Whitaker prove here. They swap stories about their days in the Tournament Office and Prime Video studios respectively, and there's name-dropping and anecdotes galore about Stan Wawrinka, Andy Murray and Mark Philippoussis.
We also hear about tomorrow's order of play, updates on events in Halle and Birmingham, and an insight into the battle of the metal hips.
The Tennis Podcast is produced daily throughout the Fever-Tree Championships at The Queen's Club, in association with Telegraph Sport.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

| 0:45.2 | Very sorry for all those spectators that came today hoping to watch they all got a full refund as a result, |
| 0:51.2 | but that doesn't really, you know, it's something, isn't it, Catherine, but it's a shame. |
| 0:57.0 | I mean, people, you look at that order of play and you feel like you've won the lottery, |
| 1:01.9 | don't you, in the morning, and then you end up with nothing. |
| 1:07.0 | End up with a really soggy lottery ticket, non-winning lottery ticket. |
| 1:11.2 | It turns out there doesn't need to be tennis for there to be a tennis podcast. |
| 1:14.5 | No, no, no. We could be talking about all sorts of things on the stage. |
| 1:17.7 | We've got a minute done, 29 minutes to go. |
| 1:20.8 | I insisted on this, because I've got... |
| 1:22.7 | David's got stories, apparently. I haven't heard any of them, so I've as much a listener as you all. |
| 1:27.0 | Not really sure what they are yet, but I can feel them coming. |
