Episode 2131: Ireland Fans Have Their Say, Caitlin Thompson On The US Open And Editing A Magazine With Naomi Osaka
We were so caught up in our own feelings yesterday, in the grisly, depressing aftermath of Portugal 2 – Ireland, that we barely had time to mention the thoughts of our beloved listeners. We put that right today, and with Ken back on Irish soil, he compares the Irish and Portuguese nations (and both end up with a right to feel aggrieved) [0.45].

We talk to the brilliant Caitlin Thompson about the US Open, why Novak Djokovic is getting fans ejected, and what it was like having Naomi Osaka, only the biggest sports-woman in the world, editing Racquet magazine with her [24.30].
We started Racquet five years ago today, and in that time all we’ve wanted was to push tennis to be more inclusive, more innovative, more… cool. We hope you like what we’re up to–including our latest–The Player’s Lounge. Watch the first episode here: https://t.co/GL43zc76NN

Plus there’s the desired length of time you should spend in the bathroom, “my brother is a Gene”, angry Hungarians and Frances Murphy’s TV guide to the sporting weekend.
Andy Murray now ranting to supervisor Gerry Armstrong about Tsitsipas’ long off-court break.
“It’s never once taken me that long to go to the toilet, ever.”
Full of fight AND fiber, this Andy Murray.#USOpen
