In this hurly burly ep, Mike reveals he was force fed an oyster while blindfolded at the AO 20207 launch and Lizzy examines the deep parallels between Alexander Zverev's rise to world #1 and Steven Bradbury's baffling 2002 gold medal victory. They talk about what makes a great tennis celly, which players smashed their racquets in the most convincing manner, and perform a mind-bending analysis of all the hectic moustaches we're seeing lately (Carlos Alcaraz, we're looking at you). Also, there's a quiz question if you're into that sort of thing.

This bumper edition of Pod Laver Arena features our first ever Crimestoppers Edition of Watch Watch and a comprehensive look at Daniil Medvedev's disqualification from the China Open for smacking a ball into a spectator's eyeball. Fun! Also, Mike pokes the bear by suggesting Aryna Sabalenka posts on Instagram too much and it's therefore affecting her game. I'm sure nothing bad will come of that. Also, come marvel at Terance Atmane chucking a wobbly, which in turn leads to him chucking his racquet. But did he damage a spectator's eyeball? Lend us your ears to find out.

In this episode, Mike freely admits to dropping Alex Eala's name at a Filipino wedding to win people over and Lizzy sees the milky beauty in Morgan Riddle's perfume bottle. Andre Agassi reminds everyone why he is still the tennis world's favourite drunk uncle, Andrey Rublev turns on the charm for his Chinese fans, and André the Giant didn't play tennis, but if he did, I bet he'd be hard to pass at the net. This is Pod Laver Arena, and we hope you like it. Stay fresh.
