    Looking Back to Novak

    Ceri’s journey into tennis reporting started at the Monte Carlo Masters and here he looks back at the first press conference he took part in from that tournament, which happened to be with Novak Djokovic. Ceri breaks down how press conferences work and how the media dig for information that suits their needs. This event took place after Djokovic had recovered from an injury and there were question marks over his ability to come back and reclaim a place at the top table. Cut to the present day and he’s won just about every tournament going! This is a fascinating look at the relationship between athlete and journalist.   Featured in this episode: Novak Djokovic

    The Breakfast Club

    Garry manages to be incredibly late but just in time for the interviews to begin. Typical behaviour, while Ceri soldiers on in the vortex of matches being played indoors. No fans, no atmosphere but still serious tennis goes on. Curt Clarke has news on brother Jay’s injury from the previous evening and Garry disappears earlier than expected and Ceri is awash with interviews, chatting with Donna Vekic, Maria Sakkari, Harriet Dart and Caroline Garcia about porridge, killing time, music and films. Like the rain, the conversations flow.   Featured in this episode: Donna Vekic, Maria Sakkari, Harriet Dart and Caroline Garcia.
