Should the BBC be showing the ‘Battle of the Sexes’?

The tennis off season is here and so are Catherine, David and Matt for their first catch up since the Davis Cup. Part one (00:00 - 26:12) - Reaction to our interview with Andy Murray and concerns as Jack Draper pulls out of playing UTS. Part two (26:13 - 51:49) - Everything we dislike about the upcoming ‘Battle of the Sexes’ including the platforming of Nick Kyrgios, Aryna Sabalenka’s involvement, and the broadcasting of it on BBC One in the UK. Part three (51:50 - 1:21:10) - We discuss lots of news such as Serena Williams shutting down comeback rumours despite reentering the anti-doping testing pool, Anastasia Potapova’s nationality switch just days after taking part in a Gazprom-funded exhibition in Russia, and the death of Italian tennis great Nicola Pietrangeli. FRIENDS OF THE TENNIS PODCAST: Today is the day we re-launch the premium categories for Friends of The Tennis Podcast.New pet mascot, guest editor, Grand Slam predictions and Fantasy League slots will be opening up at 3pm UK time.
