An unseeded 18-year-old at Roland Garros 1988, Australia's Nicole Bradtke (née Provis) reached the semifinals — her best Grand Slam singles result. The clay-loving Melburnian sits down with Luke Dennehy to reflect on her charmed run 36 years ago that included a quarterfinal win over eventual three-time Roland Garros champion Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario, the elusive match point against Natasha Zvereva that cost her a spot in the final, and the telegram she received from the Australian Prime Minister.

What happens when tennis and fun collide at high speeds? The answer is: Pod Laver Arena. It’s tennis news, hot gossip and a bevy of unforced errors, hosted by comedians Mike Goldstein and Lizzy Hoo. We chat to the world’s best players, explore the AO with an ‘all access pass’, and probably get into shouting matches with fans. So talc up your thighs and charge into the net, this is Pod Laver Arena! Putting the ‘fun’ in tennis ‘fundamentals’… or something.
