Summary

We begin by discussing Felix Auger-Aliassime's victory over Andy Murray in yesterday's night session. How much was the one-sided result down to Auger-Aliassime's brilliance and how much was it because of Murray's depleted physical condition? Moving on to Friday's action, there's chat about disappointing defeats for Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans, Naomi Osaka's stressful victory over Marta Kostyuk, Denis Shapovalov's escape against Taylor Fritz, and the bizarre delay to Adrian Mannarino vs Alexander Zverev. We also revisit the opposite of "on the boat" and look ahead to tomorrow's schedule, highlighted by Serena Williams vs Sloane Stephens.

The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments. It is crowdfunded by listeners each December.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Mary and Bartori. I'm Matt Vlander. This is Mary Carillo. I'm San Roenka. I'm like Newt. I'm Andy Murray
0:06.7	This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast
0:20.7	So this time last night folks we were waiting for Andy Murray to play Felix Ojiereli a scene and
0:26.2	and we were worried that it was going to be an all-time classic and we would completely miss out.
0:31.7	Well, we need in a word. It wasn't an all-time classic. It was straight set. Felix Ojiereli a scene
0:37.2	was incredible. Andy Murray couldn't keep up and Tim Hemman on Amazon Prime video declared that
0:44.2	Ojiereli a scene is the man. The man in waiting. The man who is better than Sitsapastans,
0:51.8	very of a Shapa Valov and Medvedev discuss. Tim thinks he is the best player to emerge since the big four.
1:02.5	Wow. Best player in 50. We were discussing Shapa Valov earlier because we were covering that one
1:11.1	in the studio and dipping out for comment from Tim and Laura Robson. I was asking
1:19.3	we were having the world Shapa Valov achieve his potential debate and Tim said, yeah, I think he
1:26.4	will. And I said, what's his potential? He said, don't know. So we both don't know if he'll achieve
1:34.6	his potential. We're just coming at it. Coming at the semantics slightly differently.
1:42.0	But he said, he said, look, the problem is he's being compared to Felix Ojiereli a scene who is
1:48.4	the best player to emerge since the big four. What's he based on that on? What's convinced him to go
1:56.2	that big about this guy? For me, it has to be more than just that performance last night because
2:04.1	Andy Murray was depleted. They're not here to make the case themselves. I'm not necessarily
2:09.5	endorsing going that big. But if you'll remember, Indian Wells 2019, Greg,
2:17.2	called into the term right-handed Rafa on the dull and predicted he would end the year in the
2:22.5	world's top 10. So it is not new to be going big on Felix Ojiereli scene. I think Mary
2:33.9	Carillo, she was in the opening half-ar of our prime coverage today. And she, as I said to her in
2:42.4	text, she didn't just steal the show. She ran away with it, never for it to return again.
