AO Day 3 - Big guns weather early storms

David Law, Catherine Whitaker, Matt Roberts
About this episode

The first round is finally over! Catherine, David and Matt look back on day three which saw Iga Swiatek come through a tough test against Sofia Kenin, Carlos Alcaraz and Elena Rybakina headline the night session, Jack Draper win his first ever five set match and then vomit into a bin, and Emma Raducanu making a winning Grand Slam return. There's also discussion about ATP players 'no commenting' questions about Alexander Zverev being elected to the ATP player council and news that Rafael Nadal has become an ambassador for the Saudi Tennis Federation.
