Just last night, our hosts got the band back together and brought in the Tennis and Bagels Podcast boys to help them run over the second week's happenings at the Australian Open (can you believe they continued the tournament after Andy lost? Unbelievable...). On top of that, they also chitchat about the recent sad news that former US Open champion Juan Martín del Potro is planning to hang up his racket in the next few weeks. :( And on top of that on top of that, they also discuss Andy's chances in the Rotterdam tournament taking place this coming week!

We ramble, we go off topic, we have no idea what's going on... It's another episode of Murray Musings. 

Well... That was the Australian Open, eh? We all enjoyed it even if it was a bit short but it was good for what it was and it wrapped up after only two matches! Crazy! Weird that they didn't even bother playing beyond the second round... Such a shame...

...

Come have a drink with us as we consider Andy Murray's Australian Open run with Michael/@lobwinners. We review what's gone and preview what's still on the horizon and think about what Andy's next steps could be. 

Better days are to come. Believe it.

Yup, this is a mess but when is it ever not with our hosts?! Come listen to Peter, Claire and Scott... erm... analyse(?!) the Australian Open draw in a last minute fashion that only Murray Musings could be capable of!

No, don't adjust your screens. You read that title correctly.

Earlier this week, Claire, Peter, Scott and guest host Zainab sat down with Judy Murray(!!!!) to talk about the legacy of the Murray family, how the governing bodies in British tennis have failed to capitalise on her sons' successes and what she thinks of the current Novak Djokovic situation. Judy brings with her a history of helping children enjoy picking up rackets for the first time and level of coaching that could well produce further Scottish/British tennis champions.

Sit back, relax and listen on in to an episode of Murray Musings that our hosts still can't quite believe took place.

Thank you for taking a chance on us, Judy!

Nothing much has really been happening in the world of professional tennis in the first few weeks of the 2022 season to be honest so we gave Peter, Claire and Scott the week off to relax and do no-... OK, OK, we're only joking! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY WE-HOPE-YOU-ALL-HAVE-THE-RIGHT-VISA! Oh, yes, come and sit with our hosts as we analyse Andy Murray's blink-and-you'd-miss-it start to the year before we move on to talk about the current dilemma surrounding Novak Djokovic...

It's raw. It's passionate. It's real. It's... more-or-less unedited because Scott couldn't work out how to make his audio sound clearer...

IT'S THE FIRST PART OF OUR 2021 SEASON RUNDOWN WITH THE TENNIS AND BAGELS BOYS!!!

(Part 2 to be recorded and uploaded shortly over at Tennis and Bagels HQ!)

Our hosts FINALLY sat down together as a trio last week to discuss all things end of season and all things tennis world relevant! Claire and Peter made sure to roll out an imaginary red carpet for Scott's pod comeback, much to his unbridled appreciation... 

This episode does lead our hosts to some fairly serious discussion topics so feel free to take note of the time stamps that we'll include down below. Thank you!

3 minutes, 52 seconds - Peng Shuai situation discussed in length.

20 minutes, 44 seconds - World Tour Finals discussion begins, Alexander Zverev is spoken about.

40 minutes - Our hosts move on to talk about the WTA Finals.

Claire and Peter poured themselves a glass of their preferred alcoholic beverage this week and sat down to talk about Andy's 2021 season and all that came with it. From the highs of his Wimbledon first and second round wins to the lows of his losses that perhaps came too frequently for both his and our liking, this episode is simultaneously a trip down memory lane and a fingers-crossed look to the future...

A few weeks ago, Blair Henley was kind enough to take time out of her ridiculously busy schedule to come and chat with our hosts again here in Murray Musings HQ. She brought with her fresh new stories from behind the scenes of some of the most well-known and memorable tennis player interviews and interactions and also offered her thoughts on how Andy has been getting on in the second half of 2021. So get some popcorn, grab a drink, and sit with us a while as Claire, Peter and Scott talk with everyone's favourite sporting MC...

And here we finally are, with Peter's full recap of his time working at Indian Wells 2021 and his breakdown of all of his amazing experiences there. Join Claire and Scott as they listen in awed silence (or at least, as much silence as you can get when Scott's around...) to Peter's tales of Andy Murray related in-person chit-chat, which include a certain viral odour eaters shoe gift... 

WE ALSO HAVE A NEW OUTRO SO STAY TUNED UNTIL THE END!

(...or just fast forward to the end of the episode...)
