Summary
Not every celebrity tennis fan could hold court on the Tennis Podcast, but not everyone celebrity fan is Jason Isaacs from Harry Potter fame.
Isaacs comes straight from watching Nick Kyrgios edge Kyle Edmund in the second round to join David Law in the players lounge at the Fever-Tree Championships at The Queen’s Club.
What does someone known for being one of the great character actors make of a character like Kyrgios?
Later, Novak Djokovic overcame Grigor Dimitrov comfortably, and afterwards spoke to Gigi Salmon about his form, fitness and what he’s addicted to.
After that, Catherine Whitaker and David Law have a chat in person for the first time in a while and remind us what The Tennis Podcast used to sound like.
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).
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
