Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartori.

I'm Matt Svillander. This is Mary Carillo. This is Pam Shriver.

This is Yannick Noah. Hi, this is Ryan Bennett, a tennis loving canuck living in Sydney,

Australia, and you're listening to the tennis podcast.

Hello and a very big thank you to Ryan, the canuck living in Sydney there from our intro.

I do wonder, Matt, if Ryan is one of those canucks living in Australia that we were sitting

not far behind throughout the Felix Orgera Lear Seam, Daniel Medvedev, and whose energy

was utterly irrepressible. I mean, they were going wild for Felix, pumping him up right the way through,

and some of them were doing it wearing woolly mittens. There were two women in the gang. There was a gang

of about eight, I would say, with flags and all the paraphernalia, including woolly mittens,

which they wore throughout, and I would like Ryan to know, or any of our Canadian listeners,

whether that's a thing in sport supporting in Canada, woolly mittens.

Because I was so impressed at their commitment. That was a long match and they kept the mittens

on throughout. I thought it would be mittens on at the start, post-rephoto mittens off, but it was

very much mittens on throughout. So do let us know, Ryan, and thank you very much for being a friend of

the pod. I could do with some mittens, if anybody's got any spare here in Solid Holt, Blum and Frazen.

It was weird weather in Melbourne today. It was just sort of sticky, sticky and overcast,

and for the second of the two women's singles semi-finals tonight, the roof was in fact closed.

I got caught in another rain shower. I keep timing my forays out into the big wide world very badly.

But anyway, our women's singles final lineup is set, and it will be the top seed

Ashbati taking on Danielle Collins of the United States of America. I think the 27th seed, but

that number seems far less significant than the number next to Ashbati's name somehow.
