| 0:00.0 | Hi there, this is Martina Navratlova and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:14.3 | Well hello, welcome to New York. Welcome to the US Open and welcome to the tennis podcast brought to you |
| 0:20.7 | in association with the tenograph. My name is David Law. I'm part of the BBC Radio 5 Live |
| 0:26.8 | tennis team and over the next couple of weeks. Catherine Whitaker will be joining us for |
| 0:31.3 | regular podcast throughout the fortnight as well as the man who's with me right now. |
| 0:35.5 | Mr Simon Briggs the tennis correspondent of the telegraph. Simon you've been coming here |
| 0:40.3 | for a few years now but this place never gets old does it? Oh yeah it's been a great |
