Summary
The Tokyo Olympics - at long last - are almost here! Catherine, David and Matt talk through the draws before answering more listener questions.
Should Richard Williams and Oracene Price be inducted into the Hall of Fame? When did we fall in love with tennis? How does watching tennis for a job differ to watching as a fan? Which significant results from recent tennis history would we change? Will Andrey Rublev win a major? And who might be the next Aslan Karatsev?
Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments. It is crowdfunded by listeners each December.

| 0:03.1 | I'm Matt Svillander. This is Mary Carillo. This is Pam Shriver. |
| 0:06.4 | I'm Stan Roenka. I'm Lainey Stewart. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis |
| 0:10.9 | podcast. |
| 0:22.0 | Well the Olympics are about to start and I can't seem to think about anything else. |
| 0:26.4 | Catherine, I don't think you can either because you've got a bit of prep to do for the opening |
| 0:31.9 | ceremony which is coming up tomorrow and just give us an insight into what you've got to do. |
| 0:39.4 | Well currently on my agenda today among many other things is making notes of and sort of semi-memorising |
| 0:48.8 | some facts about 104 different nations. My co-host is taking the other 104. Maybe it's 103. |
| 1:00.5 | Anyway it's 100 and something crucially which is quite a lot and I don't know how people did |
| 1:09.2 | this before Wikipedia. I'm very much looking forward to hearing all 103 stroke 100 |
| 1:18.7 | and four of them tomorrow and yeah I feel like I'm having my own little crash course in the |
| 1:25.6 | Olympics because I found myself watching Netherlands against Zambia yesterday morning |
| 1:30.5 | for about five minutes I thought and then I ended up watching the whole thing in the |

| 1:50.2 | having seen that and and relatively happily as well. I wouldn't have thought it possible. |
| 1:55.4 | Well I kept wanting to watch it and I just didn't get around to it. It's very good isn't it? |
| 2:00.8 | Yeah that's my review nine years on Matt how you doing? |
| 2:05.6 | Yeah very well. Similarly excited for the Olympics I think. I think the last few months my |
| 2:10.4 | excitement has been quite tempered about the Olympics just not knowing whether it's going to happen |
