Hi, this is Mary and Bartoli. I'm Matt's Belander. This is Mary Carillo. I'm Stan Ravinka. I'm like New York. I'm Andy Murray. This is Yannick Noah.

Hello my name is Anna Hepburn Austria and you're listening to the tennis podcast. Go Dominic!

Well hello to Anna Hep, daughter of Christian Hep that you heard in our intro there. She's a particular fan of Dominic team as you could hear because Anna and Christian are from Austria.

I'm not saying that's the only reason necessarily that they're a fan of Dominic team. Maybe they would be a fan of his, you know, if they were from Tim Buck too.

But as it is, they've got no choice to be Dominic team fans because they are from Austria. Thank you Anna for that wonderfully uplifting intro there and thank you Christian for your support of the tennis podcast.

Which leads us nicely, I think Matt chose that intro because he said that's a lovely segue into Vienna which is the tournament that's just reached its conclusion yesterday on the 80 B tour. We've had a couple of them this week.

We're starting with the Paris Masters today. As I speak to you, I'm watching Martin Futchervitch and Bournichorich locked in first set battle at the Paris Masters.

But we'll start off with reviewing the goings on from Vienna last week. Seeing as Anna provided us with such a lovely segue David, you're right with that.

Yeah, that's fine by me. It's just a bit of a blow that Dominic teams pulled out of Paris really with his, whatever it is, Futtingery is it Matt? Is that what's happened to him?

Yes, Futtingery which he seemed to sustain during his match against Andre Roublève in Vienna and it hampered him in that match. Yes, not a good week to be talking in glowing terms about Dominic team unfortunately.

But he's obviously hopeful for the ATP finals, I think. He's saving himself for London, Anna. Don't worry.

So you mentioned Andre Roublève there. Andre Roublève who thank you very much Matt, you reminded me that I predicted a year ago would have a big 2020.

I genuinely had forgotten that. So thanks very much.

Here's one is fifth title of the year. He's only played at a 12 events. He's qualified now for the ATP finals. He beat Lorenzo Seneggo and more of him certainly later, 6464 in the Vienna final.

He's won five of the 12 tournaments he's entered this year. He's won them on hard courts, clay courts and indoors. He hasn't lost to anyone outside the world's top 40.

And he's lost only six sets in those five tournaments that he's won. That information from Enrico Riva on Twitter who's pumping out some wonderfully useful stats at the moment.

Yeah, I mean Andre Roublève. Is he the player of the year so far in the men's tennis? No. He's won more titles than anybody else. He's won five. Jokovic is one four. Nobody else has got anywhere near.

Yeah, those things are all true.

That's a true yes, but I don't think he's the player of the year. I wouldn't put him above Jokovic or team for example, who both won a slam and reached another slam final.

I think all those stats that you've just laid out for us perfectly sum up what Andre Roublève has been doing this year.

He's found a level of week in week out consistency at the 250 and 500 events that no one else has found. And therefore that's resulted in loads and loads of titles.

And I'm incredibly impressed by that endurance and that durability that he's got because as I said, I think during Roland Garros, this is a guy who was injury prone at the start of his career.
