This week's guest is Matt Futterman, reporter for the New York Times and author of Running to the Edge, who spent 15 days in lockdown so that he could cover the Australian Open. We talk about his two weeks in hotel quarantine and what is was like to emerge into a semblance of normal life. Matt explains why sports aren't really sports without fans, how close the Australian Open came to not happening, and why Sofia Kenin isn't a bigger star. We also consider whether the unique schedules of marathoners provide any insight into how tennis players can better manage the pandemic, how tennis pros can gain some of the benefits of being part of a team, and which active player would run the fastest marathon.
