0:00.0	Hi, I'm Matt Vylander. Hi there, this is Martina Navratilova.
0:03.7	Hi, I'm Andy Murray and you're listening to the tennis podcast.
0:18.1	Hello and welcome to the tennis podcast brought to you in association with the Telegraph
0:23.2	and with Euro Sport as always and brought to you this week from the comfort of a
0:29.2	potty pub. We would have loved to be in the potty exchange but alas, they are closed,
0:34.8	which is my fault because I've been working, commentating all day. So we're forced to
0:40.2	record later on in the evening which means we're in a pub and which means I,
0:44.5	Catametica and joined by my co-presenter, Tobias Law.
0:49.7	Tobias Law, yeah so when you say a shame that we're not in the potty exchange sector,
0:54.0	I can guarantee you that's absolutely untrue because this is the first podcast we've ever recorded
0:59.4	where I've been drinking beer. So what can I- No, I don't think that's actually- It is,
1:03.7	I mean 291 podcasts in. I'm sure we've done a Queen's one. I'm sure there have been

1:29.1	any one beer down at this stage. I think we're on safe territory for the time being. Let's see
1:35.3	how the podcast progresses but for now, I think we're in safe podcasting territory.
1:41.8	I say that I've been commentating. I have been busy doing commentary for the new ATP radio station,
1:48.8	tennis radio. I bet it took a long time for them to come up with that. It's a good name, isn't it?
1:53.7	Good name. Interestingly, so there's a number of platforms that it's available on
1:57.2	ATP website, tune in radio and because it's the 21st century and all that, you can listen to it
