| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoli. I'm Matt's Belander. This is Mary |
| 0:04.8 | Carillo. This is Pam Shriver. I'm Stan Roenka. I'm Lighten Hewitt. This is Yannick Noah and you're |
| 0:09.6 | listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:22.2 | Well hello folks, we are back with another Indian Wells update pod since we last came to |
| 0:28.8 | my cospost at MoT Quote with Flying Colors, which makes me feel like I've achieved. Matt has done a |
| 0:36.4 | 9K run. I'll say that again, a 9K run and David has had a 15 minute nap. So big weeks all round I |
| 0:47.2 | would say. Yeah, and I got told that I had the blood pressure of a 21-year-old. So I'm pumped. |
| 0:53.6 | Well, don't get pumped because that will raise your blood pressure. But sure, Matt, 9K run, what's going on? |

| 1:50.5 | Which I'm not sure was her favourite morning of the week. But anyway, she's now asleep on my shoulder, |
| 1:56.9 | ready to pod and talk Indian Wells. Where okay, so the women are partly the semi-final stage. |
| 2:07.4 | We've got one women's semi-final set. The rest of the women are still at the quarter final stage, |
| 2:14.4 | and the men are all at the quarter final stage. Is that correct, Matt? That is correct. Yes, |
| 2:22.2 | make it make sense, but that is right. Why are Victoria as a Renka and Yelena Osterpenko |
| 2:30.2 | so ahead of the game? What's... Why are they at a different stage of the tournament to everyone else? |
