For our second pod of the day, Catherine, David and Matt are together to talk through everything which happened at Roland Garros.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoli.
0:03.1	I'm Matt Vellander. This is Mary Carillo. This is Pam Shriver.
0:06.4	This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast.
0:20.3	Well hello folks and welcome to your second podcast of the day. It is still sort of day six of
0:27.6	Roland Garros 2022 and it is still sort of our birthday. It is 24 minutes past midnight.
0:35.9	So very technically it is the day after our birthday. Which is normally when we celebrate
0:41.2	these things. Well exactly David. So we can have two days. Exactly. Excellent.
0:46.4	It's well happy birthday to us. Yeah. Yeah. We've got to follow a Mary Carillo show. We should have
0:52.8	done it the other way around. Shouldn't we? The Mary Carillo show first, followed by Mary.
0:58.5	But anyway we should we shall do our very best and Carlos Alcaro's has certainly helped us this

1:52.4	heard. This wasn't scrappy from either player. Sebastian quarter came out and he brought it and he
1:59.1	connects with a ball so sweetly and and he was going for it and he comes into the net all the time
2:05.5	and he's knocking off follies and he's a huge guy. You know it's not easy to beat this guy.
2:10.1	And Alcaro's beating 646462 and at the end he hit a shot. I'm not sure I've seen a shot. I
