In 2007, the Artois Championships launched the world’s first official tennis podcast, bringing you exclusive interviews with the likes of Nadal, Roddick, Murray, Gonzalez and all the other top players in the build up to the tournament.

And if that wasn't enough, we had John McEnroe in every episode - when 'The Commissioner' speaks, you'll want to listen!
