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

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

This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast.

Well then two of the singles semi-finals are set at the Australian Open.

We have Madison Keys against Ash Barty in the top half of the women's singles and in the

bottom half of the men's we have Matteo Berrattini against Raphael Nadal.

We've all been watching the whole day's play full disclosure.

Matt and I have done that from the comfort and air conditioning of our apartment because

it has been too hot to leave the flat today and we were feeling guilty about that

until Raphael Nadal, the physical colossus that is Raphael Nadal confirmed that he was feeling

pretty horrible in the heat today and we feel seen, we feel validated, we feel comfortable in all

of our choices, Matt. Yes, we also went to bed at five o'clock in the morning last night and I don't

know whether Nadal did or didn't. Today was a struggle. Today was a recovery day that I think

everyone needs doing a grand slam. Nadal's got two of them coming up and yes, I think there was

a moment where we considered going in but gosh, once we decided to just stay put here, I think

that was an okay decision. I feel okay about our choice. We'll be back in tomorrow, I promise.

And I know a lot of people that are suffering terribly cold winter conditions,

conditions wherever in the world you're listening are wrong. I get that I would be doing that

at me in your position, folks. But the thing with the cold is that you can layer up, you know,

you can pop a big coat on. There is a limit to how many clothes you can remove in the heat,

especially in a workplace. Especially if you're not in your own apartment all day.

Yeah, so, you know, but David, I feel your pain. I understand it has been rather cold
