Summary
For the first time in three weeks, Catherine, David and Matt are together to record a podcast, this one to look back on an interesting week which saw some new champions and some new events.
In what way is Mayar Sherif already building on Ons Jabeur’s legacy? Will Maria Sakkari ever overcome her tightness on court? What makes Yoshihito Nishioka so awkward to play against (especially for Dan Evans)? Has Barbora Krejcikova rediscovered her best form? How is Novak Djokovic able to play so well after such a long break from competition? And who is Sofia champion Marc Andrea Huesler?
We also talk about Iga Swiatek’s decision to withdraw from the Billie Jean King Cup Finals, how Jabeur has helped bring about a new event in Tunisia, and strong fields this week in Astana and Ostrava!!!

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartori. I'm Matt Svillander. This is Mary Carrillo. |
| 0:05.3 | This is Yannick Noah. This is Alyssa Lee calling from Brooklyn, New York, the best city in the |
| 0:11.0 | world, and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:15.9 | Well, hello and welcome to the tennis podcast and thank you to Alyssa there for introducing today's |
| 0:32.4 | show, Fields Apt. That our intro came from somebody in New York because New York is where Mr. |
| 0:42.1 | Matt Roberts was last spotted with my own eye and here I am looking at him on a Zoom and I could not |
| 0:51.3 | be happier about it. Matt, hello, welcome back. You look a lot less ropey than I was expecting. How |
| 1:00.1 | are you feeling? Hello, yes. Really, really good to be back and talking to you both. Yes, New York |
| 1:06.9 | was where I got COVID but it was also where I was having an excellent time before that happened |
| 1:12.8 | and yeah, it's very nice, very nice to be back after three weeks. Can't believe it. Let's just say |
| 1:18.8 | Matt that we missed you. I can't believe David that we did podcasts just the two of us for |
| 1:27.6 | how many years, seven years? I do not know how I really do not. It's very important that nobody ever |
| 1:34.0 | goes back into that that catalog isn't it? All there, all there in the archivocs if you want to |
| 1:40.6 | go and have a listen and just realise just how good you've got it now in 2022 with Matt Roberts as |
| 1:46.3 | part of the team. I mean yes, logistically we missed him because we did just sort of look at |

| 1:59.9 | Matt, to be honest, I've got to be honest, it's not the same without you, so good. |
| 2:05.0 | Oh, likewise. Yeah, you've been missed Matt, we've been very worried about you as have many of the |
| 2:10.8 | listeners. Low levels of worry about me, I think David, David said Catherine's got a bit of a |
| 2:17.0 | sore throat, Matt is on his deathbed. People seem more worried about my dentistry than you're cold. |
| 2:23.8 | Yes, well let's all do health updates, shall we David? How are you teeth? |
| 2:28.3 | Maths working, so fast so good. Great, I'm a little bit flemmy but basically fine. Matt, |
