| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartorri. I'm Matt's Vylander. This is Mary Carrillo. |
| 0:05.3 | This is Janic Noah. Hello, hello. This is Mike Lee from Vancouver, Canada. A huge fan of all the |
| 0:13.5 | underarm servers out there. You are listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:20.3 | Hello folks and welcome to your penultimate tennis podcast of 2021. A particular |
| 0:35.0 | hello to Mike Lee who you heard assisting with our intro there. Mike is going to be guest editing |
| 0:43.6 | today's show or actually in fact has guest edited today's show. He has selected from |
| 0:49.6 | your submissions some listener questions and he's put his own in there as well. David, Mike |
| 0:56.3 | sounds like he means business to me. I suddenly feel quite a lot of pressure to perform in this |

| 2:04.8 | Five People Chaps with a few people in it and with poor Emma Radikarno stuck in a local hotel |
| 2:13.1 | in self-isolation because she has got COVID. She had to collect her BBC sports personality of the |
| 2:19.1 | year, Trophy last night, which had magically appeared in her hotel room from self-isolation. I |
| 2:27.5 | loved that she didn't even, she couldn't, she didn't fake being surprised about winning because |
