Hi, I'm Layton Ewitt and you're listening to the tennis podcast.

Roger Federer, 17 grand slam titles, more weeks than anyone in history as the world number one.

Rafal Nadal, 14 grand slam titles, including nine French openers.

But which of them, if at all, will win another grand slam title in the Jocke of Acheera?

We'll be debating it this week and hearing from you.

We'll also be taking your questions and we'll be paying tribute to the great Gerald Williams,

one of my tennis broadcasting heroes in the company of another great tennis broadcaster and writer,

Mr Richard Evans.

But first of all, Catherine Whitaker, we are here in the gorgeous glamorous, extravagant Putney Exchange Centre, isn't it delightful?

There had better not be any hint of irony in those words, David.

This is my local neighbourhood and it is glamorous, it is extravagant, it is glorious, it is the Putney Exchange.

It has served us so well over the years, how dare you?

It's the only place we can find with a coffee shop whether they don't throw us out or put on loud music and you can't hear what we're saying.

Anyway, we are here to discuss Roger Federer and Rafal Nadal.

I think the main reason for that is we get so much correspondence at tennis podcast about these two.

They are arguably the most decorated and loved tennis players in recent decades, certainly on the men's side and certainly arguably in history,

in terms of just how loved they are and appreciated and how much they've achieved.

They've won more grand slam titles than anybody else.

The sport has ever known, apart from Pete Sampish, you could say, compared to Nadal.

But, where as we've often talked about whether they can ever get back on top and shift jock of it, shout the way,

it's now becoming more a conversation, I think, as to whether they will ever win another grand slam singles title.

I wanted to hear what you've felt about it, I wanted to find out what our listeners thought.
