About this episode

Dave Hughes joins hosts Mike and Lizzy to share his passion for tennis and entertaining stories from the Australian Open.

At first, we thought a vagrant had got past security, but the more he spoke, we realised... IT WAS NONE OTHER THAN COMEDY LEGEND/TENNIS AFICIONADO DAVE HUGHES! He joins hosts Mike and Lizzy to talk about his red-hot love of the game, and to brag about all the times he's sat front row at Australian Open finals. Hear about the time he was part of Roger Federer's hype crew, and also about the time he saw Adam Hills' foot melt while playing a set in 42-degree heat. You know what? It's actually really quite entertaining. AusOpen.com iHeart Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
