Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartolini. I'm Matt Vylander. This is Mary Carillo.

I'm San Roenka. I'm Lighten Ewyth. I'm Andy Murray. This is Janic Noah and you're listening to the tennis

podcast.

So, no, not Jochowicz is a nine time Australian open champion. He has never lost a final on the Rod

Lever arena. He's an 18 time Grand Slam champion closing the gap on Roger Federer and Raffa

Nadal to just two major titles and he's on a 21 match Australian open winning streak and I am

never getting led astray by Blum and Pam Shriver again. She led me down very medved every path.

Oh yeah, what did she say again? I can't remember that. Well, her pre-tournament predictions had

been made for the beating, Jochowicz in the final and I just, why I copied Pam? Why wouldn't you copy Pam?

Don't know why we all weren't copying Pam. But I know, see, it's so interesting how these things go

because last night, whoever I spoke to seemed to think Medved ever was going to win pretty much.

And after the semi-finals, the way he played against Sitsupas,

yeah, I was one over by it to some degree as well. It was totally 50-50 in the end, I think, on paper pretty

much. But they did not perform like they had been all week respectively, did they?

Absolutely not. I mean, one thing that felt nailed on certain, as certain as anything can be

ahead of a sporting contest, is that it would be long and gruelling. I mean, five lives

schedule reflected as much, David. Yeah, we'd made lots of room. What did you do with the big

gap at the end? Suddenly, Gigi was sort of reading out West Ham team sheets and stuff.

And she was two-waying micro-stellar on the boxing. And all that sort of thing, doing an excellent

job as well. But it was, yeah, I thought, oh, we're going to fill to 11 o'clock, local time.

Suddenly, it's like, right, we're going on till 11.30 hours scheduled. So that's 45 minutes

worth. But no, it was a good way to get through the slightly bizarre presentation speech.
