A positive covid test from someone who had worked at the Australian Open quarantine hotel appeared to leave the tournament teetering on a cliff edge last night, with hundreds of players and staff forced to isolate again. After 24 hours of mass testing, however, Craig Tiley says the tournament will go ahead as planned. For now.

It\\u2019s a situation which has served as a reminder of the precariousness of Tennis Australia\\u2019s operation to stage the event and in this episode we talk all about it. 

We also reflect on what we\\u2019ve seen so far from the the lead-in tournaments. Who has impressed at the ATP Cup? How is Iga Swiatek adjusting to life as a Grand Slam champion? How do we feel about the latest Nick Kyrgios circus? And what makes Carlos Alcaraz so good? 

Finally, we respond to some of the feedback we\\u2019ve received about our decision to refer to the second stadium court at Melbourne Park as the Evonne Goolagong Arena. 

The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments.
