| 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. This is Janic Noah. Hi, this is Yolanda Barron from Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. |
| 0:09.7 | And I'm very happy to introduce today the tennis podcast. |
| 0:13.5 | Well, thank you very much, Yolanda, for that brilliantly elegant intro there. What a wonderful |
| 0:31.0 | way to start the podcast and what a high bar to set us all for the next hour of content |
| 0:37.7 | that you're about to hear, which I'm sure will be significantly less elegant. We are, though, |
| 0:42.6 | myself, David and Matt, all together, not in the same room, far from it, but together on Zoom, |
| 0:49.6 | which is what together means these days, isn't it? We are in three different locations, two different |
| 0:55.9 | countries. Matt, it's Madrid calling. When was the ass? Well, you've just created a very tough |

| 1:35.6 | And actually, when we get on to discussing the Davis Cup finals, I've got the Italian group to talk |
| 1:41.0 | about. So, you know, all fits. Anyway, back to you, Buenos dias, Matt. How are you? How is Madrid? |
| 1:50.7 | How are all things? Very well. Thank you. Yes. I like Madrid a lot. So it's been fun to be here. I |
| 1:57.7 | have had some technological issues, which I've had to solve. I've made a trip to the Apple store |
| 2:04.4 | in Madrid already. Yeah. For people that weren't already convinced of Matt's brilliance, |
| 2:11.9 | please know that today he communicated the words broken headphone jack on my Macbook |
| 2:21.2 | to a tech genius in a Spanish Apple store, which blows my mind. That's there's fluency and then |
| 2:30.2 | he didn't do sign language or anything or any sort of, you know, history on Excel weird accents. |
