The hottest ticket at this year's Australian Open tennis tournament wasn't to see Novak Djokovic or Iga Swiatek, or even the tournament's eventual winners, Carlos Alcaraz and Elena Rybakina.

In a bonus episode from More than the Score, the BBC World Service podcast that scours the globe to tell stories from beyond the scoresheet, journalists Kate Reyes and Ben Rothenberg talked to Ed Harry where Eala came from, how far she could go, and what her popularity might mean for the future of tennis and sport in the Philippines.

From the Winter Olympics to the Super Bowl, the Australian Open to the Diamond League, and netball to Formula 1.

You've likely seen the viral video of Coco Gauff smashing her racket in a corridor at the Australian Open. She tried to go somewhere without cameras and failed. Now she's complaining the only private place is the locker room, Novak Djokovic says it's like "big brother", Iga Swiatek thinks they're "animals in a zoo". Content is king but at what cost to player privacy? Isn't this the kind of access we all wanted to drive sports broadcasting forward and grow the sport? The bigger the sport - the more financial reward for players, so why complain? Or are we in danger of forgetting they're only human? Jamie Murray, former world number one doubles player, and Molly McElwee, tennis journalist and author of "Building Champions", join Gabby and Mark. Plus, we look back at the best bits of The Sports Agents from Manchester United to a very English embarrassment at Champions League success to two-time World Cup winner Tobin Heath.

The semi-finals are set as Catherine, David and Matt wrap up another day of straight sets matches at this most unusual Australian Open. Part one - Men's Results. We cover the devastation of Lorenzo Musetti when forced to retire two sets up, another lucky break for Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner's continued dominance over Ben Shelton, and whether Djokovic can rediscover any kind of form before facing Sinner in the semis. Part two (25:37) - Women's Results. We discuss excellent performances from Jessica Pegula and Elena Rybakina, Iga Swiatek's commitment to doing things differently in 2026, and the players speaking out against the backstage cameras. Part three (53:00) - Sensation of the day, updates from the wheelchair and doubles events, and Matt prepares for the media one point slam.The Tennis Podcast throughout the Australian Open is sponsored by Steve Furgal's International Tennis Tours - the Premium Hospitality and Experience Provider!

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge, dieses Mal mit dem zweiten Tag von den Australian Open 2026. Heute gab es in Melbourne weniger spektakuläre Matches als noch am Tag zuvor, lediglich einige kleinere und größere Überraschungen. Bei den Damen hatte Iga Swiatek ein paar Probleme mit ihrer Gegnerin Yue Yuan, vor allem beim zweiten Aufschlag. Letztlich gewann sie jedoch in zwei Sätzen. Nun geht es gegen Marie Bouzkova. Sowohl Tatjana Maria als auch Ella Seidel schieden aus, gerade Seidel war zum Ende hin relativ chancenlos und haderte mit dem eigenen Spiel. Keine Probleme hatte hingegen Jessica Pegula.

Before anything else, our thoughts this week are firmly with teh family of Damian Kust. Damian was a cherished and passionate member of the tennis community whom we lost at the age of just 26. His work covering the Challenger Tour set him apart, but his passion and knowledge was what really made him shine. RIP Damian. Details of his funeral and donations to the foundation his parents have chosen are here: https://x.com/damiankust/status/2009644081207709969 It always feels utterly empty to follow such profoundly sad news with the mundanity of the week's tennis news. Here is what else Calvin Betton, James Gray and George Bellshaw discussed this week... Novak Djokovic has pulled out of Adelaide, his only planned warm-up for the Australian Open, saying he is not physically ready for the challenge Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have not played an ATP event yet this year either, but were busy playing an indoor practice match in front of 15,000 people in Seoul, South Korea. Poland FINALLY won the United Cup, Hubert Hurkacz gaining redemption for spurning two championship points against Alexander Zverev in 2024, beating the German en route to leading his nation to victory... ...but Iga Swiatek's form was far from impressive, and it was Katarzyna Kawa and Jan Zielinski, Luke Johnson's new partner, who were instrumental in securing the title PLUS: No Australian Open wildcard for Nick Kyrgios; there is one for Stan Wawrinka; titles for Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Bublik, Aryna Sabalenka and Elina Svitolina; Emma Raducanu's return; and OF COURSE *that* wildcard in Nairobi.

In Auckland ging der Titel an Elina Svitolina, die sich im Finale gegen Xinyu Wang gewann. Bei den Herren setzte sich in Brisbane Daniel Medvedev durch, der damit seine kuriose Statistik weiterführte von 22 Titeln in 22 verschiedenen Städten. Für Medvedev ein ...
