Summary

We’re back! Catherine, David and Matt run through what’s happened since Wimbledon - including the G.E.M.S Life wedding, some fantastic Hall of Fame inductions, Timea Bacsinszky's retirement, more drop outs from the Olympics, and yet another title for Barbora Krejcikova - before moving on to answering listener questions, guest edited by Kickstarter backer Lynn Charles.

Was there ever such a thing as a Big 4? What’s the biggest thing that people outside of tennis don’t understand about tennis? Which shot would we like to inherit from a pro? What’s happened to Dominic Thiem this year? Which women would benefit from playing best-of-five? And who will be the next woman to win a maiden major title?

Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments. It is crowdfunded by listeners each December.

0:10.9	podcast.
0:22.2	Well we're back folks. We are back in the familiar
0:26.4	bosom of remote recordings. Our internet has already failed once on this attempt
0:32.8	to record the podcast remotely for the first time in what I think about five weeks.
0:38.2	David and Matt are here. It's amazing. I think how quickly it became normal again for us to
0:44.9	to record in person together with a dog on one of our laps. And now here we are in our respective
0:50.8	offices. David with a new poster behind him which proudly displays his own name just above
0:57.6	his forehead which is a brilliant addition to the remote recording situation.
1:04.0	Yeah. That was a nice idea that on a Zoom call just looks incredibly gross.
1:12.5	So it's going. Yeah, Matt's been, I mean we've all sort of been a little bit on holiday.
1:18.9	Haven't we? There's been a heat wave. We've coped with that with varying degrees of success.
1:24.5	Yes. And the next thing to cope with is not sitting in your arm chair for a podcast.
1:29.5	I don't know how I'm going to get over that. I haven't sat in it. In the past week it feels
1:36.2	it feels wrong. And there's no snacks here at all. It's all wrong. Everything's all wrong but we will
1:43.8	we will do our best to record a vaguely right sounding podcast for you. I mean I say we're back.
1:49.6	Tennis never went away. Tennis has been happening all weeks or week the wheels if the tennis world
1:55.4	have kept on turning. There have been tournaments but more importantly I think there's been a wedding.
2:02.0	Top of the agenda. Alina's Fissilina has married Willy Wonka and it's a lovely thing.
2:09.5	Purple, attire all around. I mean it was still a joyful occasion. They looked lovely and happy.
