Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartorri.

I'm Matt Vylander. This is Mary Carillo.

I'm Stan Ravinka. I'm Lighten Huet.

This is Janik Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast.

So it's Hoppas 9 at UK time. Hoppas 10, Paris time.

And as we come to you, Igor Shviontech, the defending friendship and champion,

is a set in a breakup over Marta Kostiuk of Matt Damdijor fame.

More of that, I'm sure to come. Or maybe not much more of that if she does go on to lose this match

throughout the course of the podcast recording. Maybe it will be conveniently forgetting that.

But even a Shviontech does go on to win this match, which you would back at to do

from this point. She hasn't had it all her own way tonight. And I guess you can read that

two ways. The fact that she's on course for a straight set of secretary, brackets,

potentially seen to be out of date tennis news. Even when she's not playing her best, that's

a great thing and that is the sign of a champion. But equally, if you're anybody else left in the

drawer in the locker room, this might be the sort of performance that gives you just a tiny bit of

hope that there are chinks in this Shviontech armour. What do we think, David? Hello, by the way.

Yeah, hello. And hello, Matt. Hello. I am pretty transfixed by this match. So I'll try and

concentrate on what I'm saying. But I don't know. I mean, I think this is a good match for Shviontech,

even though she's been tested. The scoreline is pretty one-sided as it looks at the moment.

She has had a lot to handle in this match. I think Marta Kostya has been fantastic.

I don't think I've seen full matches of hers before. I've only seen snippets. She is bringing it.

She smacks her backhand. Some of the rallies side to side. She has given Shviontech all she can
