Summary

Catherine and David catch up to discuss the main headlines since Wimbledon, including Ivan Lendl and Alexander Zverev’s split, a star-studded doubles draw in Washington, and Novak Djokovic’s decision to skip Montreal. They also share their memories of Peter McNamara, the Australian doubles legend who died earlier this month.

Then, in the second half of the podcast, Catherine, David and Matt answer more listener questions.

Has Venus Williams underachieved in her career? (36:02)
Which players have surprised in good and bad ways this season so far? (48:03)
And have Catherine and David ever had a proper falling out? (1:04:26)
