Indian Wells Catch-Up: Nadal’s Sunshine Single, Meddy’s short No.1 reign and no more “70-68” in slams

In the latest episode of The Passing Shot, the tennis podcast by fans, Joel and Kim catch up on all the action so far from the Californian desert as Indian Wells reaches the Quarter/Semi Final stage.With Daniil Medvedev already soon to lose the Number 1 ranking after his early loss to Gael Monfils, and Rafa setting up a Quarter Final clash with Nick Kyrgios after coming back from the brink in his opener against Seb Korda, there are plenty of news stories on the men’s side to reflect on this week, as well as continued British hopes with Cam Norrie still on course to defend his title (correct at time of recording!).In the women’s side, Joel and Kim discuss the unfortunate heckling incident that afflicted Naomi Osaka’s loss to Veronika Kudermetova whilst in more positive news Simona Halep and Iga Swiatek have both set up a tantalizing semi final between two in form opponents. Joel and Kim also celebrate British qualifier Harriet Dart’s deepest run yet at a WTA event, as well as Emma Raducanu’s mixed fortunes in the desert.They also discuss the news that Wimbledon will now feature a last set tie break to become consistent with other Slams, and the successful bid of the city of Glasgow to host part of the 2022 Davis Cup Finals in September.Share your fan thoughts on the week with the #passingshotpod on social media.______________DOWNLOADTENNIS.COMTo stay up to date on all tennis around the world including ATP, WTA and Challenger tours, download TNNS Live Scores.Download on Apple PodcastsDownload on Google PlayFollow  TNNS Live Scores on TwitterAnd check out the TNNS Lives Scores website at www.downloadtennis.com______________SOCIAL MEDIAShare your fan thoughts on the week with the #passingshotpod on social media.Twitter: @passingshotpodInstagram: @passingshotpodWebsite: thepassingshot.co.ukWritten, presented and produced by Joel Girling and Kim MackenzieCrowdfunded by our listeners.Recorded on 17th March 2022.
