Summary

Monday felt like the morning after the night before, with the shockwaves from Novak Djokovic's default still being felt at the 2020 US Open. We begin this episode with further reaction to that incident before moving on to the tennis. We discuss Serena Willams' fightback against Maria Sakkari, Dominic Thiem's statement performance, a reality check for Felix Auger-Aliassime, and the unexpected head-to-heads in Tuesday's quarter-final matches. There's also discussion about Roland Garros' plans to have spectators and the news that world number one Ash Barty will not travel to defend her title.

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.

0:06.7	This is Janik Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast.
0:20.7	Well, I've spent much of the day eating birthday cake as your day being Catherine.
0:25.4	That sounds like my day yesterday up until about
0:28.2	6pm. Yeah, I arrived at the studios today, David, and the birthday cake that I had had
0:38.5	one bite of yesterday before the drama unfolded was still sat there sadly on my table looking
0:47.4	crusty. And you do? So I hope your birthday cake was nice. Yeah, I still ate it.
0:53.0	Excellent. How's your day, Vima? Well, you've actually just reminded me that I do have some
0:57.5	cake that I have an eaten today. My mum kindly brought around some banana cake.
1:04.5	I'm blended. In celebration of David Laws birthday calls. I'll be tucking into that after

1:31.5	all of these players. They've all got their own stories, but it is still very much the day after
1:37.4	the night before in terms of Novak Djokovic. And we've had a few further developments.
1:43.3	No great amounts of news, but I did find the recap that you had with your various pundits. And you
1:52.6	had a studio of Greg Rzecki and Daniela Hentikovar and Mary Carrillo on a live link from Flushing Meadows.
1:59.8	I just found it really a great watch for half an hour and actually it really made me think about
2:05.2	things in a slightly different way, particularly Daniela Hentikovar, which I mean, I think she's a
