Summary
In the eyes of many, the two favourites for the singles title played during the evening session on Tuesday, with first Serena Williams and then Andy Murray taking to the court.
In our day 2 Tennis Podcast, recorded moments after Murray’s late-night win, Catherine Whitaker and David Law convened to review the day’s play.
Were there any shaky moments for Murray, and how did Serena handle the former Australian Open semifinalist Ekaterina Makanrova?
Why were British players Naomi Broady and Laura Robson irritated with one another during their clash, and what did day 2 winner Dan Evans say about why his mum doesn’t watch him play? Find out in the latest show.
There were also the inevitably highs and lows of the first Nick Kyrgios match to discuss, a preview of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal’s respective matches, and a look ahead to the Brits in action on day 3.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm John McInerd. I'm Bjorn Borg. This is Martina Navratlova. I'm Matt Vylander. I'm |
| 0:05.2 | Stan Roenka. I'm Lainey Njut. I'm Andy Murray. And you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:19.9 | Oh, hello and welcome to the tennis podcast brought to you an association with a |
| 0:23.2 | tenograph Catherine and I are standing where we were last night, which is outside next to the |
| 0:27.6 | practice courts outside the media room, Catherine, because we've got a monitor when Andy Murray is |
| 0:32.3 | coming in because he's just one. He has just one. I thought he was very impressive. Indeed, |
| 0:38.8 | just spoke to him after the match. He looked pretty exhausted, but he sort of always does. He always |
| 0:43.9 | looks really drained and it's so humid. It was sweat, just pouring off him. I had to sort of |
| 0:51.0 | leap back so as not to get coated in Andy Murray's sweat. He was very happy with his performance. |
| 0:58.1 | All the stuff aware of how dangerous Russell can be. We know all of that. |
| 1:05.0 | Very effusive about how much he loves playing under the lights here on the Arthur R. Stadium. |
| 1:11.9 | Said it was even noisier with the roof. Obviously the roof wasn't closed, so goodness knows how |
| 1:16.9 | noisier it's going to be with the roof closed, but really enjoyed that, really enjoyed the atmosphere. |
| 1:20.4 | It was beaming when he was hitting those balls into the crowd afterwards. |
| 1:24.1 | Yeah, it was something I heard you and Mark Petsch are talking about. In that video you did on |
| 1:27.6 | the telegraph website. You're here for your sport with Mark, obviously, about how with Roger |
| 1:32.2 | Federer not here, there are more night session spaces available. Now Andy Murray, a Novak |
| 1:38.4 | Jokovic and Rafael Nadal, they are the show. And even more importantly, I mean, obviously night |
| 1:44.9 | session probably the preference for Murray, but I would be surprised to see him anywhere, but Arthur |
| 1:51.4 | Ash this fortnight. And that's really important because he does not enjoy Louis Armstrong court at |
| 1:55.5 | all. He went out there last year. He's gone out there before as well. He's very open about the fact |
| 1:59.9 | that he likes that court significantly less. And without Federer here, I would find it surprising |
