Irish Tennis Updates Podcast

Hello and welcome back to the Irish Tennis Updates Podcast.   In this episode I’m reviewing the recent Davis Cup tie in Limerick. I do this with the help of Sam Barry, who was at the event commentating for Premier Sports on live TV within Ireland. We both agree it was a fantastic event with a lot of positives for Irish tennis.   Over the weekend I got the chance to interview some of the players, including Dominic Thiem, Sebastian Ofner and Michael Agwi. This episode also features the audio from these interviews.   The draw for the next round has been done and Ireland has drawn Tunisia away in the next round, which will take place in September. There is a lot to build on for the Irish team as they look ahead to this tie.   If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe to the show and leave a comment on iTunes.

Hello and welcome back to the Irish Tennis Updates Podcast.   This time I’m chatting to Davis Cup captain Conor Niland to look ahead to the upcoming tie Ireland vs Austria in Limerick on 3rd and 4th February. This is the first home tie in Ireland since 2015 and promises to be a great weekend of tennis.   We chat about the tie itself, the players likely to play on both sides and some of Ireland’s recent ties that have led to this point. This includes recent away wins against El Salvador and Barbados.
