Summary

Day 2 started with a tweet as Andy Murray threw some more shade at Stefanos Tsitsipas. It prompted yet more discussion about bathroom breaks in tennis and that's where Catherine, David and Matt begin this episode. Elsewhere, we talk about Emma Raducanu's impressive performance on her US Open debut, a test passed for Ash Barty in her opening match, and a couple of enthralling fifth set tiebreaks.

The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments. It is crowdfunded by listeners each December.

Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartorri.

0:03.1

I'm Matt's Vylander. This is Mary Carillo. This is Pam Shriver.

0:06.4

I'm Stan Roenka. I'm Lytton Hutt. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast.

0:22.1

Well day two of the US Open pretty much done and dusted. They're into the night session

0:26.2

under the lights at the moment. No match of issues in the first set. He's already got a break on

0:30.4

the board as we come to you now. The assumption here at tennis podcast Tars is that that match is

0:36.0

not going to be particularly competitive. Hence we'll probably be safe to record the tennis podcast.

0:40.9

So here we are. If we're back in about half an hour when he's a set down, that might tell you

0:46.4

something. But it wasn't Holger Roen's assumption when he strode onto court with an IKEA bag.

0:52.9

Did an IKEA bag? Yeah. There was a bit of a swagger about it. It wasn't there. There was a sort of

1:01.0

hay. Look at me. For about four seconds. Yes. I've not played many tennis tournaments in my lifetime.

1:09.1

But Holger Roen is like all of the top seeds at those tennis tournaments. I did play very,

1:31.5

So we'll see how that turns out. Katie Bolder's in action as well on a day when another British

1:37.7

player won a match. That was Emma Radikana. We'll talk about all this stuff in a little while.

1:41.7

I think we need to just rewind a little bit though, just to put the Andy Murray

1:47.7

winch fest to bed because he hasn't put this behind him. He really is irritation at Steffanus

1:56.5

Sitsubas and his toilet habits. He's come out today and tweeted upon waking up.

2:05.4

Fact of the day, it takes Steffanus Sitsubas twice as long to go to the bathroom as it takes Jeff

2:11.2

Bezos, although he spells it Bazos to fly into space. Interesting. And then an emoji of a toilet

2:18.9

and an emoji of a rocket ship. So we ran that tweet on on on Prime Video because we went
