| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoli. |
| 0:03.1 | I'm Matt Villander. This is Mary Carillo. This is Pam Shriver. |
| 0:06.4 | This is Yannick Noah. Hi, this is Carlos Marti from Puerto Rico. |
| 0:10.6 | And you're listening to the Tennis Podcast. |
| 0:22.9 | Well, thanks very much Carlos in Puerto Rico for your lovely, lovely intro there. |
| 0:28.5 | It is 2.15 in the morning in Melbourne. |
| 0:33.5 | Less than an hour ago, Matt and I were in the post-match press conference of |
| 0:38.2 | Danielle Medvedev. Just over an hour ago, we were in the post-match press conference |

| 1:39.2 | I did not see that coming at all based on the past matches they've had, which have been pretty |
| 1:48.2 | one-sided in Medvedev's favour based on the form they both shown this tournament. Felix had |
| 1:53.6 | improved. He really had, since I'd watched him in the first two matches, but I still didn't really |
| 1:57.6 | think he would trouble Medvedev all that much. And I must say, I was blown away with the tennis |
| 2:05.6 | Felix produced, especially in those first two sets, but really for most of the match, I think it's |
