Hi, I'm Andy Murray and you're listening to the tennis podcast.

0:14.0

Hello and welcome to the tennis podcast brought to you in association with the telegraph and with Euro Sport.

0:22.0

I am Catherine Whitaker of Euro Sport and I'm joined by David Law of Beauty Sport and of Five Live and many other Ashaia.

0:33.0

David, how are you doing on this fine spring day? Finally, it's actually spring.

0:39.0

It is spring and you finally got here. I've only been waiting for 45 minutes but anyway you are here. I've been doing nice shifts at a beauty sport covering the Indian Wales tournament.

0:49.0

It's been great. I don't know what time it is today. I don't really know what day it is but...

0:55.0

David's got the same weird non-travel based jet length that I had this time last week. It's very very strange.

1:02.0

It is a bit strange but the good news is that I've been watching tennis for 11 for a week and yeah, calling it work.

1:09.0

We're not complaining. Of course, as you've already mentioned, Indian Wales has been happening and of course the sun's been shining.

1:18.0

It isn't obscene climates they have in Indian Wales. I was reading the other day that they have 354 days of sunshine a year.

He said, oh, you forgot to mention that... I don't know if this is particularly interesting.

2:04.0

The match that they finally got to watch when the rain cleared up and off for tennis to happen was Mark Phillipie's losing in the first round.

2:14.0

Then they were stuck at the airport because another storm came in and no planes were taking off.

2:19.0

Tiny little palms brings airport and they were sat there with a very downbeat looking Mark Phillipie's and his dad trying to give him a pep talk in this tiny little airport

2:31.0

and even have a terminal. I don't know if it has a terminal now, but it sounds like it was sort of an open air shack type thing.

2:38.0

Just my mum and dad, Mark Phillipie's, junior and senior.

2:42.0
