Summary

Lots of the big name players have been into the Wimbledon interview room, and Catherine, David and Matt are here to tell you all about it. There's chat about a Venus Williams scoop courtesy of David, Iga Swiatek's approach to improving on grass, Aryna Sabalenka's decision not to talk politics this tournament, how Ons Jabeur is feeling being back at Wimbledon after reaching the final, some (minor) shade from Coco Gauff towards Sofia Kenin, a very confident and very relaxed looking Novak Djokovic, how Andy Murray plans to use his experience this fortnight, and the players' response to questions about possible Saudi Arabian investment in tennis.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoli. I'm Matt's Belander. This is Mary Carillo.
0:05.3	This is Pam Shriver. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast.
0:20.5	Hello and welcome to the tennis podcast live from Wimbledon up on the broadcast roof
0:27.6	overlooking court 18 which can mean only one thing. There is no threat of rain,
0:32.7	real or imagined and we are in position A, greetings to anyone joining us live on YouTube,
0:39.4	greetings to anyone joining us, not live on YouTube and greetings to anyone joining us via
0:45.7	your usual podcast platforms. We are delighted to be here in the place that we were always
0:51.4	supposed to be and we've been watching some tennis being hit on tennis being hit. That's the
0:59.1	lingo Catherine, the old tennis being hit, tennis balls being hit on court 18 behind us

1:38.0	It's a normal service reserve. Did you David be honest here after watching Griggle Dimitrov play
1:46.4	like a world number one? Did you look up his draw? No I didn't. I was too busy marvelling at what I
1:53.0	was seeing and I'm actually taking in whilst I was doing other things just getting occasional
1:58.5	updates from Matt saying he's absolutely destroying Domenore. I mean I don't think Domenore's
2:03.6	won a point and I'm sort of thinking Domenore will reach the final coins. He was destroying him until
2:12.6	got into a tight situation. He got tight in practice David. Yeah. Yeah.
