Hi this is Billy Jane King this is Marion Bartotti this is Biancon Dreskou I'm Matt's Villander this is Mary Carrillo this is Pam Shriver this is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast. Well, hello folks and welcome to the tennis podcast on Olympics Draw Day.

We have one of these but once every four years, so we must feast upon it when we get the opportunity and

Matt Roberts is certainly doing that Matt you have a big beaming grin on your face

how you doing? I'm very well thank you very pleased to be back on the

pod and today is a good day. I am seeing Bruce Springsteen tonight and the Olympics draws have just happened and gosh I had such FOMO like normally we're at the draws for the really big events

Unless we're stuck on the Eurostar or you know having some sort of transport disaster

but generally we're there and yet here we were seeing it trickle through on on

Twitter and that kind of thing but I'm still very very excited

and lots to talk about. Yeah I somehow have FOMO despite the fact that I am just down the

road from the draw.

It's so different to a normal tennis event.

You know, normally it would be I'm in Paris, the draw is in Paris, Paris off I go but trying to get into an Olympic related

event when you're not specifically accredited for that event is not even an avenue worth

worth tiptoeing down.

So I too followed the draws remotely.

But I am in Paris.

I'm here for the opening ceremony tomorrow evening,

which I'll be commentating on for

Euro sport and discovery so I'm here kind of soaking up the Parisian Olympic at Moss although not

attending any official Olympic events.

And meanwhile, David, where do we find you?

I am in your apartment which is very weird.
