Summary
Canada have set up a Davis Cup final clash with Australia after a thrilling semi final victory over Italy. David and Catherine dissect all the day's drama, including some very eyebrow raising doubles picks by both teams.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartori. I'm Matt's Belander. This is Mary |
| 0:04.8 | Carillo. I'm Stan Ravinka. I'm Lainey Neut. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis |
| 0:09.8 | podcast. |
| 0:21.1 | Well hello folks and welcome to your penultimate Davis Cup finals by Rakuten podcast. I'm Catherine |
| 0:29.5 | David here. Matt Alass is not so all the well wishes that we sent him on last night's pod. |
| 0:37.8 | Rinse and repeat for Matt. Send him your absolute best. He's okay. He's just feeling rough and |
| 0:45.3 | not up to being on the podcast. And even if he claimed he was up to it, I wouldn't allow it. I've |
| 0:50.2 | given him very, very strict instructions to do nothing but nap. So get well soon Matt. Don't worry, |
| 0:58.2 | David and I are here. We've watched it all. We have thoughts. We have opinions. We'll be looking back |

| 1:31.4 | I don't feel like I can claim any glory in that because none of it panned out how I |
| 1:37.7 | thought it would at all. Maybe Australia seemed beating Mousetti. That is a thing that I thought |
| 1:44.0 | would happen. Everything else was a surprise today. Same here. Felix has lived up to Billing. And then |
| 1:52.9 | some actually he's he's really standing up and showing what he's made of in this competition. |
| 1:58.8 | And it could be it's quite interesting. You know, there was me talking about whether this might be |
| 2:02.8 | Mousetti's moment to show what he's made of. Well, I think Felix might have ever heard that somehow |
| 2:09.4 | or got the gist that might people might be insuspecting something like that because |
| 2:14.5 | this is this feels a bit like him being Jokovic 12 years ago and and taking the the Davis Cup |
| 2:21.1 | by the Scruff of the neck and making it his. And and we'll see we'll see tomorrow whether he |
| 2:25.5 | actually does that. But that can often be a launch pad. And but but you're right. To me coming into |
