0:00.0	Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoli. I'm Matt Vylander. This is Mary Carillo.
0:05.3	I'm Stan Ravinka. I'm Lainey Nguet. I'm Andy Murray. This is Janik Noah and you're listening to the tennis
0:10.8	podcast.
0:22.4	Well folks, hello and welcome to our third daily Australian Open 2021 tennis podcast.
0:29.6	I don't know about you David and Matt, but I feel a lot of pressure on this podcast for it to be
0:36.8	great, frankly, because today's tennis was great. It made me feel great. It, I mean, it was just
0:46.7	everything. It made me feel all the things that I'd forgotten how to feel. And I don't know how to

1:59.6	I cried quite a lot during today's tennis. I had two screens on the go. I had five live sports
2:08.9	extra commentary as well. David Law and Kiyothovon commentary. And I think I'm reluctant to do this
2:18.5	because it tennis wise, it's not the biggest story. Nick Kerios winning in five sets today is not
2:24.0	the biggest story. And I think there's a really strong argument that we shouldn't lead with Nick
2:28.8	Kerios. But I, I feel like I've got to go on instinct and feeling and I actually, I just don't think
