| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartori. I'm Matt Svillander. This is Mary Carillo. |
| 0:05.3 | This is Pam Shriver. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:20.6 | Well hello everyone and welcome to your day three Australian Open tennis podcast coming to you |
| 0:27.2 | from tennis podcast hours Melbourne at 10 to 1 in the morning. We are here. tennis of course |
| 0:35.1 | is still being played and unfortunately David Law is detained commentating on one of the three |
| 0:42.8 | matches that are still on court at Melbourne Park. As of about 9.30pm Matt, there were 10 scheduled |
| 0:52.4 | matches that hadn't even started. It's been quite a day. It has. I think it's extra weird when |
| 1:03.2 | it's rainy at the Australian Open compared to the other Grand Slam. You sort of expect it at the |
| 1:09.1 | other Slam. I mean I know that we expect changeable weather when we come to Melbourne but even so |
| 1:15.6 | it's weird when it's rainy here because you know it's great they have three roofs. I think we're |

| 1:55.6 | and I don't know whether it's good news or bad news but the news came that he was moving to court |
| 2:02.5 | 13 I think and was on the schedule today and a lot of British journalists were therefore here for |
| 2:10.9 | the night David among them. Yeah he is commentating on Cam Norrie and a man who he describes as a |
| 2:17.9 | mad genius Constantine Lestien mad genius that's apparently been driving Cam Norrie absolutely |
| 2:26.8 | bananas he is currently two sets to one up though is Cam Norrie so good luck David by the time he |
| 2:36.4 | hears this hopefully he'll it'll all be a distant memory but goodness me tennis is tennis is absolutely |
| 2:43.7 | ridiculous it is not even going to be remarkable that the three matches are going on at this time |
