Great news on DOAPTC this week as Team Linette has picked up a WTA Title. Mark Gellard tells Candy Reid all about their amazing week in Prague, which followed the Magda Linette Foundation weekend - also a huge success. Magda, Mark and Iain Hughes then made their way to Paris for the Olympics in luxurious style, but not quite in time for the Olympic Ceremony. Private jet, anyone?

Tournament Director Supremo Peter Johnston is also on this week's pod, detailing the trials and tribulations of the job in humorous fashion! It's a cracking listen, so please enjoy!
