Elsewhere on The Tennis Podcas,t how well did Serena play in beating Kristyna Pliskova? How will she cope with the tactical nous of Ashleigh Barty in the next round? And what was the story behind the catsuit she wore on court? It was apparently more functional, and medically-advised, than first thought. The straight-set wins of Rafael Nadal and Kyle Edmund are also discussed in depth.
Plus, there’s condemnation of Jack Sock’s behaviour. The American caused a stir during his first-round loss with a series of outbursts towards the umpire. Simon Briggs gives all the details and says it’s time for Sock to improve his “disrespectful attitude”.
