| 0:00.0 | Hi I'm Layton Huett and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:13.0 | Just over 24 hours until the Australian Open minz that singles final between Andy Murray and |
| 0:19.1 | Novak Chokovich yet again. Myself David Law here on the tennis podcast brought to you an |
| 0:24.3 | association with the telegraph has two very very special guests today because I've got the |
| 0:30.8 | five live BBC radio team with me and we're looking forward to this Gigi Salmon and first tennis |
| 0:37.0 | correspondent Russell Fuller Russell. We've been here before it seems to me. It's a familiar site |
| 0:43.2 | isn't it to see Andy Murray and Novak Chokovich walking out in the final. If I were Andy Murray I |
| 0:48.4 | wouldn't be looking at the head-to-head record which doesn't make for particularly good reading. |
| 0:52.8 | I think I'd be trying to remember the way I've played. Perhaps as far back as that Wimbledon |
| 0:56.8 | final of 2013 and the US Open final of 2012 and in particular the matches in which he had |

| 1:30.8 | We've been speaking and I remember asking Leon Smith the great one Davis Cup captain in the |
| 1:35.6 | commentary box saying how did you beat him and he said again well that's the question and you |
| 1:39.7 | talked a lot of people they say you have to hope he has a dip or he has an off day but that's a lot |
| 1:44.4 | to ask for a player to come out especially if it's Novak Chokovich that came out against Roger Federer. |
| 1:49.4 | Those first two sets of tennis he was unplayable. The guy doesn't have a weakness some people clutch |
