Summary

Queen’s Day 3 - Meet Frances Tiafoe; Hewitt Rolls Back The Years; Querrey overcomes Wawrinka


Hello and welcome to take 2 of Wednesday’s Tennis Podcast from the Fever-Tree Championships.


Take 1 was an award-winning edition featuring Catherine Whitaker and Gigi Salmon. That one didn’t record…


Take 2 features David Law and Queen’s Tournament Director Stephen Farrow having a beer after work in Stephen’s office, and looking back on a day in which Lleyton Hewitt and Nick Kyrgios won their doubles match against Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut. 


Before that, Sam Querrey, Marin Cilic and Frances Tiafoe were all winners, and the latter joined Gigi Salmon for a good chat. 


We also hear from Kyle Edmund and former Prime Minister David Cameron, who was a guest of the club. 


The Fever-Tree Championships at The Queen’s Club is broadcast on Amazon Prime Video in the UK from 11.30am every day. Their coverage is presented by our very own Catherine Whitaker, alongside Ross Dyer, Daniela Hantuchova and Greg Rusedski. 


The Tennis Podcast is produced weekly throughout the year and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments and The Fever-Tree Championships, in association with Telegraph Sport. It is presented by Catherine Whitaker (Prime Video) and David Law (BBC 5 Live, BT Sport).

Why am I on the tennis podcast? Is it because we want to give the tennis public what they want?
