| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mayan Bhattori. |
| 0:03.1 | I'm Matt Vellander. This is Mary Carrillo. This is Pam Shriver. |
| 0:06.4 | This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:20.4 | Well what a day it has been day four of the Australian Open. Matt and I have just got back |
| 0:27.5 | after 13 hours on site covering an extraordinary day of tennis. We were both up before the matches |
| 0:39.3 | even started. Yesterday was a success. Our body clocks are back on track. We were up early enough |
| 0:47.0 | even to watch the Channel 9 build up to the day's play, which means pre 10am David. We were up |
| 0:54.0 | early enough to watch or I watched a feature entitled Anatomy of an Upset. Detailing exactly how |
| 1:06.0 | Kirios was going to pull off the impossible and Medvedev on the Rod Leyva Arena this evening. |
| 1:13.7 | It did nage brilliantly folks. No, I mean Upset was the theme of the day, just not that one. |
| 1:24.0 | Yeah, Anatomy of an Upset David. It was a detailed forensic analysis of how Nick Kirios plays |

| 1:44.5 | going on this evening. Matt and I on the second court watching Emma Radikarn who plenty more of that |
| 1:50.3 | later don't worry. My take on Medvedev Kirios though and you can tell me if I'm wrong, is that |
| 1:55.4 | actually Kirios did play his best. His best is just scraping a set against the Neil Medvedev. |
| 2:04.3 | Yeah, and I don't think we'll ever know. I suspect we'll never know throughout his career now, |
| 2:08.4 | whether he's got another level in him which might come of dedication and regular training and |
| 2:17.4 | having a coach. Those are levels that I think Nick Kirios' career will never provide for us to tell |
| 2:24.0 | us whether that would have been possible. But with what he's got right now, I think he did all of the |
| 2:29.4 | things that in years gone by we would have said, I hope we see this from Nick Kirios. He came out, |
| 2:35.2 | he was firing, he was dialed in, he was loosening himself up with a few off-pay shots, he was digging |
