Summary
The United States and Canada experienced very different endings to their Davis Cup by Rakuten quarterfinals, and Catherine and David are here to discuss all of the many storylines that emanated.
Surely now Mardy Fish accepts he made the wrong call about Rajeev Ram. Or does he? Where did Italy win the tie? And how did Denis Shapovalov go through such a spectacular metamorphosis from set 1 to sets 2 and 3?

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartorite. I'm Matt's Belander. This is Mary |
| 0:04.8 | Carillo. I'm Stan Roenka. I'm Lainey Neut. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis |
| 0:09.8 | podcast. |
| 0:21.1 | Well every day of the day, Viscount Finals so far has felt quite dramatic, but I think today |
| 0:27.2 | has probably won because both ties, I mean first time we've had two ties in a day, both of them |
| 0:35.5 | have been incredibly dramatic and unfortunately we don't have a full complement of podcasts as for |
| 0:41.8 | you to discuss them. We have Catherine and we have myself, David. And Matt would love to be here, |
| 0:50.0 | but halfway through the second rubber of the day between Italy and United States, |
| 0:56.8 | he started to feel unwell. And let me tell you from person experience when Catherine |
| 1:02.2 | Whitaker tells you to leave work and go go to bed. Yeah, you want to do it. |
| 1:09.9 | The irony of David telling Matt to go home. I actually, I was the first one off the spot. |
| 1:16.8 | Look off to yourself, Matt. Sleep is so important. I was the first one to say it. It was |

| 1:28.7 | But anyway, look, he's just under the weather. Hopefully he will be feeling great tomorrow. |
| 1:35.9 | The thing with Matt is usually he responds to every single WhatsApp message in about four seconds, |
| 1:42.8 | max. And the fact that we haven't heard from him for about the last four hours means that Catherine |
| 1:48.7 | and I are hoping that means he's fast asleep and therefore recovering at a rate of knots. |
| 1:55.8 | Yes. Proud of you, Matt. |
| 1:59.0 | Yes. Get well soon, Matt. You are much missed. And I think we should take today in chronological |
| 2:06.0 | order because it'll take some remembering because it's 13 hours since the USA against Italy |
| 2:12.7 | actually started. I mean, it's actually 14 hours because we're in our, we're in our, |
| 2:16.6 | behind aren't we? They started at 10 9 AM UK time, David. And you were up for that way. |
