AO Day 2 - Osaka gets Garcia-ed, Grim reality greets Murray

Monday at the Australian Open ended with Catherine, David and Matt together at Tennis Podcast Towers in Melbourne, watching Felix Auger-Aliassime and Dominic Thiem slug it out over five hours and five sets, with the final stages captured on the pod. There's also chat about Caroline Garcia's flawless performance to beat Naomi Osaka, new service motions for Coco Gauff and Stefanos Tsitsipas, a heavy defeat for Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova, and a flat display from Andy Murray which inevitably prompted retirement talk.
