Summary
The supposed 'blockbuster clash' between Andy Murray and Nick Kyrgios turned into a bit of a damp squib as Murray dismissed the Australian's challenge in less than a couple of hours to reach the quarterfinals.
Was it all Murray brilliance that led to the straight sets win, or did Kyrgios let himself down? All discussed on the Tennis Podcast.
Long-time BBC 5 Live tennis commentator Alastair Eykyn joins Telegraph tennis correspondent Simon Briggs and podcast presenters David Law and Catherine Whitaker to discuss a day known as 'manic Monday' because of the number of high profile matches played in one day.
They review a comeback win for Milos Raonic, the excellence of Roger Federer and the potential for an all-Williams women's final at Wimbledon.
The Tennis Podcast is produced in association with Telegraph Sport.
