    Olympics preview: Sinner’s heartbreak, Coco to lead Team USA, Sir Andy’s last hurrah

    Jannik Sinner’s withdrawal from the Paris Games due to tonsillitis has opened up the prospect of a gold medal match between Wimbledon finalists Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.

Casey Dellacqua and Craig Tiley join The AO Show to discuss medal contenders ahead of the all-important draw, including Aussie No.1 Alex de Minaur who’s made a remarkable recovery from injury and is set to make his Olympic debut. And as the tennis world prepares for Andy Murray’s final dig, Brie reveals the dual-Olympic gold medallist's top five career moments.
