Peter and Claire sat down for a little chit chat ahead of Andy's first round match with (sob) Matteo Berrettini in Miami - although, full disclaimer, if you've come to MMHQ looking for a full and thorough analysis of the Miami Open draw, you are without doubt in the wrong place. If you're here for general chaos and delusional Andy Murray-related chat... we got you. Enjoy and as ever, thanks for listening!

Peter and Claire were joined in MMHQ by our good friends Owen and Andre of Tennis & Bagels podcast fame to dissect the Australian Open draw in typical Murray Musings fashion - unserious, slightly chaotic, lots of laughter and talking over one another, and of course, good vibes only.

Welcome back to MMHQ! Ahead of the US Open, Claire was thrilled to sit down with friend of the pod - and coach of one of our faves Liam Broady - Dave Sammel to look back on his three stand-out matches from the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon, and chat about the work that goes into preparing your player for a major competition. As ever, it was an absolute joy to chat to Dave, and we hope you enjoy his insights! PS - if you're still listening out for our Andy intro... don't -...

The whole gang is back together as they gather round the firepit to discuss the weeks that were Wimbledon - less of an analytical roundup and more of Claire babbling on about her visit to the sacred grounds. It's been over a week since Vondrousova and Alcaraz lifted their maiden Wimbledon titles (spoiler alert) so please forgive our typical Murray Musings timings on this one!

Join Claire and Peter as they delve into the Wimbledon draw and look at Andy's chances on the hallowed turf of Centre Court - 10 years since he won his first Wimbledon title, and became the first British man in 77 years to do so. Welcome to Murray Musing, episode 77.

OK, so Claire did promise that she would either learn how to add Andy back in, or that Scott would be back to start doing it again... neither has happened *YET* but it will, it will! In the meantime, join Claire and Peter as they sit down and chat about the week that was in glorious Sunny Surbiton! Andy Murray is a grass court champion once again, and we couldn't be happier! Prepare for a laugh as we try to remember exactly how each match went, and listen in as Claire compares Ivan Lendl...

*Not a Madrid preview* Chaos ensues as Scott, Peter and Claire get together to discuss their top five Andy Murray matches - we lose Peter twice due to storms raging through Texas and Claire trashes MMHQ after discovering Scott "stole" two of her top five picks. But please, sit back and enjoy as our hosts talk about the Murray matches that have left them feeling warm and fuzzy (or in Scott's case, gutted but optimistic...??) on the inside over the course of his career! *FULL DISCLAIMER* -...

So this episode is now *slightly* out of date because we chatted about Andy's chances in Monte Carlo (we don't know her), he played... and then the tournament just ended so... what happened?! Who knows. Anyway - is it grass season yet? On a brighter note (!!!) listen in as we delve a bit further into Peter's experiences in Indian Wells, including ANOTHER interaction with our main man! (And yes, we do talk about Andy's metal hip given we've never covered that topic before)
