Summary

The first few days of Canada have delivered so many good storylines for Catherine and Matt to discuss. There's chat about the returns of Jennifer Brady and Caroline Wozniacki, big wins for Gael Monfils and Andy Murray, and special moments for Milos Raonic and Leylah Fernandez in front of their home crowd. There's also some clarity from Stefanos Tsitsipas about his coaching situation, yet another loss for Felix Auger-Aliassime, and lots of excitement about the Last 16 line-ups.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoli. I'm Matt Vellander. This is Mary Carillo.
0:05.3	This is Pam Shriver. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast.
0:20.6	Hello and welcome to the tennis podcast brought to you on yet another glorious sunny day in
0:27.8	Southwest London. They are coming thick and fast at us now. We have had an absolutely catastrophic
0:34.9	day of weather since we last came to you but that is all behind us. The sun is shining. Matt's here.
0:40.4	Hello Matt. Hello. Yes. I'm back in Southwest London and can confirm that the weather is glorious.
0:48.0	Can confirm that weather is glorious and I promise not to take so many digs at David in this
0:53.3	podcast. There's packed this thing in. I almost felt bad about it on Monday and because David was,
1:02.4	I believe, the first person to listen. He was sending us messages about it. He sent us a message
1:08.5	about the second game. Guys, this is great and we were thinking. No. I haven't got to the tough

1:41.7	Canada and presumably already talking about some matches that have happened in Cincinnati because

1:52.7	known and felt. Consider it done, Billie Jean. But this pod is coming to you at the halfway stage
2:01.7	of action in Montreal and Toronto. The men are in Toronto. The women are in Montreal. I've
2:10.1	been to both those events and I like them both very, very much. I think Montreal is my preference.
2:18.0	It's just I love Montreal as a city. It's fantastic. I really like those events like to throw
2:26.8	that out there. I'm sure I said it before but I just think they're really great events to have
