Hi, I'm John McEnore and you're listening to the tennis podcast.

Hello, tennis podcast listeners. It is Morningtime here in New York on Tuesday. It's 843 AM.

Catherine, where you are, what is it? 143 PM in England. 143 PM. Correct.

Yeah, this is a bit of an impromptu 10 minute podcast. I have no idea what we're going to talk about.

We've got no agenda. We're just going to talk tennis because we're into the second week of the

US Open. We're ridiculously excited about the prospect of the matches to come, aren't we, Catherine?

So what we did is we thought we'd get on the air and have a chat about it. Catherine, how you doing?

I'm very well, thanks. I think this is a very brave move for us to do, to stick our heads above

the parapets because our predictions this time around have been, well certainly from my perspective,

humiliation. The worst ever and that really is saying something for me.

Can we remind everybody what they were? For anybody who didn't listen to the previous podcast,

or like me has forgotten or perhaps deliberately. It's a selective memories, isn't it?

What happened? Oh, crikey. I know that my predicted semi-finalist in the women's were

Kavitava, Serena, Sharapova, and I think my fourth was Radvanska. Oh well done,

so that's really good. Very good. One of ours is remaining one. Yes, just the one for me,

but she's a good one. She's a good one. In the men's, I think it was Federer,

Czech, thank you Roger. Jokovic, Czech, Rownic, moving on. Why didn't we record this yesterday?

That would have been less embarrassing. Who was my fourth? Who was my fourth? Oh good god,

it was Bernard Tomich. Oh yes, moving on. I think yours were Kavitava,

Sharapova. Didn't you say Sloan Stevens? Now she went out first round, David,

so let's dwell on that just for a moment then. Oh, I won't, I've been out second round.

Don't, don't, don't, just Sloan. Oh right, that changes everything.
