| 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. |
| 0:20.7 | So we're at the halfway stage of the 2022 Australian Open, not in terms of days, |
| 0:26.7 | but I think sort of philosophically we consider end of round three precipice of round four |
| 0:32.4 | as the halfway stage of any grand slam. And that is where we find ourselves. Our last 16 line-ups |
| 0:39.1 | in the singles are completed. We've all just watched Maron Chilich unexpectedly roll back the |
| 0:47.1 | years and kill the movement, David. I didn't think of all the movement killers out there. |
| 0:52.9 | I didn't think Maron Chilich had it in him quite honestly and he's really shown us something. |
| 0:59.1 | I think, I mean, I can't claim to have watched every Maron Chilich match that he's ever played. |
| 1:06.0 | But that's his pump, as I've seen him. Oh, I think he was feeling euphoric. |

| 1:22.0 | that's gone now, that sort of match, that sort of win, that sort of stage might not happen |
| 1:27.5 | anymore. I do think there were some flickers last year. He started to play well in the last few |
| 1:33.2 | months of the year and although he had some really tough losses in the Davis Cup, he actually played |
| 1:38.3 | really good tennis at times. He just was playing against really good players. And in the previous round, |
| 1:45.4 | I can't remember who he beat in the previous round, but there were those wonderful scenes where he |
| 1:49.0 | was celebrating with the Croatian fans who they often come out in force and he just got the sense |
| 1:55.2 | that he was making the most of the time that he's got left in his career. I mean, he's getting on |
| 1:59.9 | a bit now, but he doesn't look old. He still looks physically quite well. He still looks |
| 2:05.6 | 30. He still looks as though he doesn't get injured that easily, but he's just... |
| 2:10.2 | He looks the same as he has for the last decade. Yeah, he does. It seems like there is still |
