Summary

Since Catherine Whitaker and David Law last convened on the Tennis Podcast, Maria Sharapova’s sentence has been reduced by nine months, Andy Murray has won 20 sets out of 20 to move to within sight of World No.1, and Novak Djokovic has continued to struggle. On the day we recorded this edition, Serena Williams withdrew from the WTA Finals because of her ongoing shoulder issues, and Nick Kyrgios was fined and suspended for ’tanking’ in Shanghai, with that suspension being reduced to 3 weeks provided he sees a sports psychologist. So, there was plenty to talk about. The Tennis Podcast is produced in association with Telegraph Sport.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm John McEnore. I'm Bjorn Borg. This is Martina Navratilova. I'm Matt Villander. I'm
0:05.2	San Roenka. I'm Lighten Youet. I'm Andy Murray and you're listening to the tennis podcast.
0:19.8	Well hello and welcome to the tennis podcast brought to you in association with the telegraph.
0:23.9	My name is David Law. Part of the BBC Radio 5 Live and BT Sport Commentary Teams joined
0:29.0	happy to say by a fit again well again, Catherine Whitaker or at least what 60% Catherine?
0:36.2	Yeah, just about. I'm Husky. Husky, you're a sport with just about how wrong the air in the
0:43.7	current situation. We would have her on the air even if she was at 25% because without Catherine,
0:49.5	there's not much of a tennis podcast except when Marcus Willis is on as he was last week. If you
0:54.4	haven't heard that do go and have a listen. He's very entertaining building up to tie break
0:58.6	tens which takes place next Sunday 23rd of October him and Andy Murray and Joe Alfred Sanger,
1:06.1	Dominic Team, Goren Evenisovic, Tommy Haas all in Vienna for the the tie break tens event. All

1:17.9	we've got to start with lots of lots of stuff that is kind of happening off the court.

1:30.2	Nick Kirios has just had a verdict come through on his behaviour of last week in Shanghai. He'd
1:37.5	already been given a pretty substantial fine but in I think in the eyes of many people perhaps not
1:44.2	enough of a fine, not enough of a punishment for his apparent not trying during his match against
1:52.5	Misha Zverev and it has come through today that he has been fined a further 25,000 dollars.
1:59.5	He has also been given an eight week suspension but that suspension is in itself suspended
2:07.6	and reduced to three weeks if he agrees to see a sports psychologist that is deemed
2:14.4	acceptable to the ATP in terms of the treatment that he takes. He has since agreed to accept that
