| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoli. |
| 0:03.1 | I'm Matt Belander. This is Mary Carillo. This is Pam Shriver. |
| 0:06.4 | This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:20.6 | Well hello and welcome to the tennis podcast. The US Open starts here and I say that because you |
| 0:29.0 | find myself, Katharineska and Matt Roberts as planned at Heathrow Airport. We've made it this far, |
| 0:36.8 | Matt. I won't say what could go wrong again, but so far, barring it at a little bit of intermittent |
| 0:43.2 | Wi-Fi, it's all gone really quite smoothly and also of course apart from the fact that we were up at |
| 0:51.4 | 1.30am watching, they've got DracoVitch and Carlos Algras do ridiculous things, depriving us of |

| 1:49.6 | try and get it on the big screen, but I'm sort of simultaneously working and watching and I |
| 1:57.2 | can't move. I might miss one point and I just decided to stay where I was for about four straight |
| 2:03.5 | hours and then I realised I couldn't really get up properly at my advancing years, but it was |
| 2:10.0 | all worth it. What a night of tennis, what a day of tennis, the whole thing. |
| 2:15.2 | Yeah, Noah, DracoVitch, the champion in Cincinnati after the most exhilarating tennis match, |
| 2:24.7 | certainly the most exhilarating best of three-set men's tennis match that I can remember watching |
| 2:32.9 | with a completely unique and bizarre narrative and trajectory because yep, pretty much we were all |
