About This Podcast
SNAP: The John McEnroe Default Saga is a four-part narrative audio podcast that brings to life the series of events surrounding John McEnroe’s sensational defaulting at Australian Open 1990. Told through the voices of the characters who were there — including AO tournament referee Peter Bellinger, chair umpire Gerry Armstrong, linesperson Di Larkin, plus Paul McNamee, Pat Cash and McEnroe himself — SNAP documents the chain of events that led to the most controversial moment in AO history and the fallout.
