Summary
With David Law swanning off on holiday, we've recorded our third listener-questions show - the 400th in our six year history - guest edited by Lea Lahnstein.
David and Catherine Whitaker have answered the best of them, such as what makes a good coaching partnership and the fascination of what goes on behind closed doors, how many is the perfect number of seeds at Grand Slams, and whether or not the Wimbledon queue is a fair and fun thing. Plus David Catherine compare their own playing styles to pro players, with amusing results.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm John McEnore. I'm Bjorn Borg. This is Martina Navratelova. I'm Matt Svillander. |
| 0:04.9 | I'm San Roenka. I'm Lighten Huit. I'm Andy Murray. This is John Weir and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:20.6 | Hello and welcome to the tennis podcast. The 400th tennis podcast brought to you in association |
| 0:28.3 | with the telegraph and with Eurisport that myself and David Lawy who sits alongside me in a |
| 0:33.7 | pub in Milibone have recorded. We've reached the big 4000 David. It's a lot, isn't it? |
| 0:41.5 | Crikey. Imagine if you'd have said in May 27th 2012 whenever it was, yeah, we'll still be |
| 0:48.2 | in the middle. You say whenever it was that it was citing the exact date burned on your memory. |
| 0:52.9 | Did check that one. Imagine if you'd gone back and said yeah, in six years time, |
| 0:58.0 | we'll be doing this for a 400th time. I don't think I've, I don't think we've got through the first |
| 1:02.2 | one. You just said I'm not doing that 400 times. And David is always encouraging our listeners to |
| 1:06.7 | go back and listen to the back catalog on social media and I always cringe at that because |
| 1:13.9 | as proud as we are of how far we've come, it was quite a different podcast six years ago, |
| 1:19.6 | wasn't it? And by that, I mean significantly less good. So hopefully I've set the bar pretty high |
| 1:27.5 | though. We've got to produce a good podcast here and it is going to be a very special |
| 1:33.1 | our third of the Ask David and Catherine series brought to you at this time in association with |
| 1:40.0 | John and Lear who are our well actually it's Lear that's a very special guest editor, |
| 1:46.5 | isn't it? Because John bought Lear the guest editor ship for her birthday for her birthday, |
| 1:53.8 | which is a lovely lovely gift. That is love, isn't it? True love, you know, by the name of |
| 1:58.2 | the podcast. True love David as we've discussed is paying tribute to your wife's mothering skills |
| 2:04.4 | via billboard. Of course, yes, sorry, I forgot that. This is the second best way of doing it. |
| 2:12.2 | Something to think about for the future, John, but in the meantime, we will be answering. So they |
