THPod 2.12: The heat is on! Will tennis captains keep their cool?

A major heatwave is grabbing the southern UK during peak tennis season for the first time in two years, so new rules created back in 2023 will be put to the test this weekend. 

In this episode we discuss the moral quandary around postponing a match in 29 degree weather (feels like 31!), and whether or not there will be any funny business going on after fixtures start, should one side fall behind quickly in any of the Apsley's 13 fixtures this weekend. 

It's inevitable, isn't it? Falling behind quickly in some fixtures, we mean, of course...  

Plus Dave and Tom are in the Hampshire singles boxes, and we chat a bit about Wimbledon too. Maybe electronic line calls aren't the answer after all?
