Conor Niland on his Book, "The Racket"
Hello and welcome back to the Irish Tennis Updates Podcast. In this episode I’ve been talking to Conor Niland. Conor has been on the show before talking about his career, and his role as Davis Cup captain, but now he’s back to talk about his best-selling book “The Racket”. The book has been a best-seller in Ireland since it was released at the start of June. We talk about the process of writing the book, the busy two months since it was released, and also touch on some of the highlights from the book. Towards the end of the chat we also talk about the upcoming Davis Cup tie against Tunisia, and the return of the Irish Open this year to Carrickmines.

Davis Cup Review - with Sam Barry and Players
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.
