Hello and welcome to the tennis podcast, our first pod of the grass court season.

The tennis never stops, folks.

We're here to cover titles for Donne Weckich,

Ben Shelton, Robin Montgomery and Camille Meishak, plus a look ahead to the coming

weeks events and a deep dive on some interesting announcements from Wimbledon this week,

including a hotly anticipated one on prize money. I say we are here. That we is myself and

David. David, how are you doing? I'm okay. In fact, I'm very okay. And it was interesting to

arrive back in the UK from Paris and think, you know what, I'm all tennised out now. I've had enough for a bit.

I'm going to just, you know, have a good rest and be a normal person without tennis on my life

for a minute. Oh, oh, this looks like a good grass court match. Oh, and on it went and I was

hooked within about three hours and I'd got the iPad on in the kitchen for the

remainder of the week and when it was raining I was annoyed because there was no tennis on.

So what can I say?

I'm on the right podcast.

We all had Queens on within like two hours of getting home and including Matt who had a lot of washing and unpacking and repacking to do ahead

of his trip to Chicago, which is where he is right now.

And he actually is in actual Chicago right now, I think, and not in Bloomington, Illinois,

which is where he's spent the majority of

the trip so far. He's swimming around Chicago. He's back tomorrow, I think, and he will be on

our next pod on Thursday. So you don't have to miss Matt for long, folks. And if you do want to check

in on him and see how he looks in a wedding suit,

then Instagram is the place to go for that, folks.
