| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Mary Ann Bartorri. I'm Matt Vlander. This is Mary Carillo. I'm San Roenka. I'm like Newt. |
| 0:05.9 | This is Janik Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:19.7 | Well 24 hours ago we were talking about how the United States of America had lost to Victoria Koshmava. |
| 0:27.5 | Well things have turned around pretty dramatically. I think the United States as a nation and as a |
| 0:32.5 | Billie Jean King cup team have taken that rather personally and they have come out and they have |
| 0:40.2 | thumped Spain in straight sets in both of their singles to reach the semi-finals and Matt has been |
| 0:49.0 | there, caught side throughout the day in Prague and that was really something wasn't it from that |
| 0:55.6 | American team. I mean let's start with the players that have actually won those two matches, |
| 1:01.2 | Sloan Stevens and then Daniel Collins winning through in straight sets and the most recent |

| 1:40.8 | players to beat the only other time I've actually seen her get thrashed like that was against Emma |

| 2:00.9 | also said that it was one of those rare days where everything just comes together it was just |
| 2:06.7 | you know she basically said it was a perfect match from her side executed everything she wanted to |
| 2:12.0 | brilliantly and you're just so pleased as a tennis player when you have a day like that because |
| 2:17.6 | I think you know she recognised it was it was rare perfect performance everything just as she wanted |
| 2:23.9 | and she's absolutely crushed Cerebes Tormo. And yet it was so reminiscent of that Radicano win |
