The Olympics - Paris 2024 draws and hype...

David Law, Catherine Whitaker, Matt Roberts
About this episode

The Olympics are almost here and Catherine, David and Matt are pumped! Moments after the draws were made, there's reaction to a potential Djokovic vs Nadal clash in R2, tough draws for Iga Swiatek and Nadalcaraz, and loads of fun mixed doubles pairings. There's also chat about the high profile withdrawals this week including Jannik Sinner's due to tonsilitis, Coco Gauff carrying the flag for Team USA, life in the athlete's village for tennis players, and whether we want top seeds progressing or chaos reigning.
