Episode 33 of the Tennis Abstract Podcast features guest host and frequent Heavy Topspin contributor Peter Wetz, who reports from last weekend’s Austria-Australia World Group playoff tie in Graz, which featured Dominic Thiem and podcast favorite Alex de Minaur, among others. We also try to give an explainer of the new Davis Cup format, but it’s possible we’ll leave you more confused than you were before.
Thanks for listening!
