| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoli. I'm Matt Vylander. This is Mary Carillo. |
| 0:05.3 | I'm San Roenka. I'm Lighten Ewitt. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:16.8 | Well, Barbara Cretchicva, the world number 33 is the newly crowned French Open Women's |
| 0:28.4 | Singles champion. And who knows? Tomorrow she could become the Women's Doubles champion |
| 0:34.0 | as well because she'll go again in the championship match tomorrow alongside partner Catherine |
| 0:40.4 | Sinéarchaver. But today she is already a champion. She is already clutching the Suzan Longland |
| 0:47.1 | trophy. She and Pierre Rougaerba and Nicolai Mauiou have become French Open champions today. Of |
| 0:53.6 | course, the Erbeer Mauiou for the second time. And the reason I mention them in the same breath |
| 0:59.7 | because we'll talk about Erbeer Mauiou's Doubles when later is because they have the same |
| 1:05.6 | effect on me. And I think you too as well. And I hope lots of you listening. They just make you feel. |
| 1:12.8 | And I can't quite explain why they make you feel but they certainly |

| 1:57.2 | They didn't follow up with that. Well, yes indeed. Yeah, it's quite a day, isn't it? We are having |
| 2:04.5 | some emotion drenched days in tennis land at the moment. And today was another one. And one of them |
| 2:13.3 | familiar, as you say, because Erbeer Mauiou, this is not their first rodeo, is it? And yet they still |
| 2:19.3 | drag you in. They still look like it's the first time they've ever won a title. And then you've got |
| 2:25.1 | Cretchicva, who it was everything that I want to see in a first time Grand Slam champion that |
| 2:33.9 | look of total and utter bewilderment that this cannot be happening and trying to, you know, you |
