| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartorri. I'm Matt's Belander. This is Mary |
| 0:04.8 | Carillo. I'm Stan Roenka. I'm Lighten Ewitt. I'm Andy Murray. This is Janic Noah and you're listening |
| 0:09.9 | to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:22.1 | It's 467 days since Catherine Matt and I were in each of this personal company. And here we are |
| 0:28.8 | sitting on a picnic table at the Queen's Club together. And it's lovely. And we've just watched |
| 0:35.5 | kind of watched the French Open Final between Novak Djokovic and Steph on our sits-up ass. |
| 0:40.0 | Have to say that was a bit of a challenge because we all had lots of jobs here to do. But |
| 0:44.4 | phones and iPads and TVs and radio and conversations were all keeping us up to date as well as |
| 0:50.0 | the incredible Hannah on Twitter. And the end result is that Novak Djokovic has somehow done it again. |
| 0:57.6 | I mean, he was two sets to love down against a 22-year-old who's |
| 1:02.0 | spitting fire out there on the court. And Djokovic still won 19 major titles at Grand Sam level, one |

| 1:50.1 | Quite right. Yeah. Yeah. And yet it didn't come up with a better alternative. So |
| 1:55.1 | At tennis podcast, let us know what Djokovic's second time around the world should be called. |
| 2:03.0 | Just a less pithy version of what Matt says. All right, I'll come up with it. We still got 45 |
| 2:06.7 | minutes for the podcast to go. I'm sure I can count it as something. But anyway, I feel like that is |
| 2:11.2 | an underrated record or at least achievements because it's kind of passed me by because of this |
