With more than 4 million downloads, star guests including Andy Murray, John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova & even Jose Mourinho, and fans in more than 100 countries around the globe, The Tennis Podcast is for anyone that has the vaguest interest in the sport right through to the hardcore fan. ‘I love it’, said Clare Balding.

BBC 5 Live and BT Sport commentator David Law and Eurosport presenter Catherine Whitaker first started talking, arguing and making predictions about tennis in 2007, in pubs, coffee shops and media rooms around the world. Five years later, they decided to invite people to eavesdrop on those conversations. The Tennis Podcast was born.

The Intoxicating Power Of Podcasts

I remember the day I first heard the word 'podcast'. It was 2005 and the Simon Mayo Show was on BBC Radio 5 Live. Simon, one of the best broadcasters in the UK, was referring to a programme on the station called 'Pods and Blogs' - a round-up of the new podcasts and blogs being produced around the world. I'd not heard of either word before. Blogs, I eventually worked out, involved people banging endlessly on about a subject in the written form. Pods were the same, but in downloadable audio form. I didn't expect to be interested in either. Then I discovered The Ricky Gervais Show.

I'm on a plane over the Atlantic on route to New York to cover my 15th US Open for BBC Radio 5 Live. In spite of its irritations - elevators that don't work, only two indoor temperature settings (Sahara and Arctic), and food that rarely provides even one of your recommended five-a-day, it is probably my favourite Grand Slam tournament. Brash, electric, rowdy, fun.

I’m heading out to New York this Sunday to attend the US Open for the first time, thereby completing ¾ of my Career Fan Grand Slam. I can’t wait to feel the Big Apple buzz and the adrenaline rush of a lively night session crowd that I’ve heard all about. Who knows? Maybe I’ll even take the shuttle bus back to Manhattan following the day’s play and engage in a fierce argument with the driver. Or I might just leave that to Catherine and David … (if you don’t know what I’m referring to, check out this episode from the 2016 US Open).

The Roger Federer Story
David Law

July 1998. I was 24. Five months had passed since I’d joined the ATP as a communications manager, straight out of university. It was a month after I’d collapsed with exhaustion at Queen’s, ending up in hospital - turns out it’s quite a good idea to eat and sleep as well as work 16-hour days. The Swiss Open in Gstaad was my first tournament back. And it was two weeks before I would meet the woman that would become my wife. It was also when, as detailed in the podcast, I met Roger Federer for the first time. Some year.
