Summary
As the Aegon Championships at The Queen’s Club prepares for its first all-British quarterfinal in the Open era, The Tennis Podcast welcomes Davis Cup captain Leon Smith onto the show.
Does Kyle Edmund stand a chance against Andy Murray? They faced off in a first-to-ten-point tie-break at an event called Tie Break Tens at the Royal Albert Hall in December. Edmund won it 10-7, and Smith feels he has a puncher’s chance.
Presenters Catherine Whitaker and Gigi Salmon also speak to Bernard Tomic, Kevin Anderson’s wife, Kelsey, and Nick Matthew - the only British man to win a Squash world title.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Andy Murray and you're listening to The Tennis Podcast. |
| 0:14.0 | Hello and welcome to The Tennis Podcast in association with the Telegraph. |
| 0:18.4 | This week we're reviewing and previewing the action here at the 2016 Aegon Championships |
| 0:24.2 | from the Queens Club West London today. Andy Murray beat fellow Brit Ali Ash Badenne |
| 0:29.7 | and now plays another Brit Kyle Edmund tomorrow. Leon Smith, David's Cop Captain and a man who |
| 0:34.9 | knows them both well gave the tennis podcast an insider's view. Of course you think Andy would be the |
| 0:42.0 | is the whole favourite in this one but Kyle's got nothing as game to cause problems. He has a big |
| 0:47.2 | Sarah, he's got that huge forehand so it won't all be one way stream. There's life on tour but I spoke |
| 0:52.3 | with Kelsey Anderson earlier who is a wife on tour and she tells us about her travels with |
| 0:57.6 | husband Kevin. I take care of all the little details. I do his bookkeeping and a lot of the accommodation |
| 1:04.5 | and hotel bookings and all the little things that need to take place behind the scenes so Kevin can |
| 1:08.9 | get from point A to point B, be well fed, be well rusted and show up and compete at the best of his |
| 1:13.7 | abilities. All that plus Andy Murray, Kyle Edmund, Bernard Tomick, squash champion Nick Matthew |

| 1:28.1 | clash here in more than a decade which is quite significant. It didn't quite live up to expectations |
| 1:32.9 | in terms of the quality of the battle but Andy Murray was good today wasn't he? He was. I don't |
| 1:38.1 | think it was a memorable match for either player to be honest. Spedane 58 in the world, he's really |
| 1:43.2 | struggled and we've talked about the not being eligible to play for the Davis cover maybe appealing |
| 1:48.7 | that and he was going out in the first round of tournaments after tournaments. Lee got to the |
| 1:52.0 | French open he won a couple of rounds it's the first time he'd won consecutive matches since Chennai |
