| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm John Mackenor and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:12.8 | Well hello and welcome to the tennis podcast. You join us inside the Royal Albert Hall home of the |
| 0:18.1 | Statole Masters tennis. Catherine Whittaker is here. We've been surrounded by tennis royalty |
| 0:25.0 | and we are left on finals day with a lineup of John Mackenor up against Matt Spalanda, |
| 0:33.0 | same final as last year here and also Tim Henman against Huzi Play. It'll be either |
| 0:40.4 | Rafter or Goran who played tonight. That's right absolutely so we've got Rafter against Ivan |
| 0:45.7 | Isabich, a repeat of the 2001 Wimbledon final. Memories of that? You know my memories of that. |
| 0:54.0 | In the in the in the common room at my school because that's how young I was supporting |
| 1:02.0 | Rafter but Goran doesn't know about that and he's only meters away so let's keep that on the |

| 1:45.4 | was going to lose it to be honest. So who did you want to win in the end after all this dilemma? |
| 1:49.4 | Oh that's really I don't even want to be pushed to say it because you know you're going to have to |
| 1:53.1 | say and then I'm going to go in the locker room and tell them. Well you know what I guess I did |
| 1:57.0 | kind of want Rafter to win actually. Goran? No don't don't but but having had Goran win you know |
| 2:05.3 | it's one of these wins that goes down in the history books doesn't it because he was a wild card |
| 2:09.9 | when he won it and there was so much love surrounding Goran even is which and still is today |
