Hi, I'm Andy Murray and you're listening to the tennis podcast.

Well, hello and welcome to the tennis podcast brought to you an association with the tenor graph and

Eurasport. Catherine Whitaker and myself come to you on Monday at the Australian Open midway through the

Raffa and the Dow against Gail Malfe's match, which is currently going on with the Dow's six three up.

And we've got a new spot to record from today.

And we Catherine because we're in the radio room inside the press room.

So we keep in our voices down just a little bit not to upset our colleagues,

but we can kind of do what we like because everybody shaps and gets excited when a big point happens in this particular room, don't they?

Yes, it's probably where we belong, isn't it? The radio room.

You know, you don't know what you're going to get from one minute to the next. Do what you do. You'll be just fine.

I mean, what are we getting from one minute to the next room, Gail Malfe?

I so, so wanted him to mount a challenge in this to make it the most important paper it could be.

And he might and I would just see him sort of limping a little bit there. I don't think it's anything particularly major.

But I don't know whether we overthink it. Why does it just come out and hit the ball in the way that we know he can?

Why is he employing all these sort of, why does he feel he can't just be Gail Malfease in these big matches?

That's what I don't understand. Because Gail Malfease is a blooming good tennis player that, okay, he's perhaps not a 14 time grandstand champion,
