All right, everyone, welcome to Serb.

One of my favorite parts about this show, this medium, is the ability to tell stories

about some of the best, most important characters who are just so additive to our sport, but not someone that

is going to get like name checked all the time, is not someone who's thirsty to be in front of

a camera, but also basically has, in my opinion, largely created the U.S. Open that we see and that we associate with now,

where it's the busiest event on earth. It's better now than it was 20 years ago. You know,

even the details of like we didn't have music basically at the U.S. Open like 22 years ago to

players aren't responsible for at the US Open. Michael Fior, I've been

wanting this episode for a while. Thanks for joining us. This is going to be, this is going to be
