Summary
The moment has arrived - Novak Djokovic has tied Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on twenty Grand Slam titles. He did it by winning his sixth Wimbledon crown, coming back from a set down to defeat Matteo Berrettini. On the podcast, Catherine, David and Matt are together one last time at Wimbledon to discuss how he managed it, his comments about his Olympics participation being in doubt, the way in which Goran Ivanisevic is hyping up the calendar Grand Slam, and the general significance of the achievement.
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 Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoli. |
| 0:03.1 | I'm Matt's Belander. This is Mary Carillo. This is Pam Shriver. |
| 0:06.4 | I'm Stan Roenka. I'm Lainey Eur. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:11.6 | So, Noah Djokovic is a six time Wimbledon champion and 20 time Grand Slam champion and has completed |
| 0:30.8 | three of the four legs of a calendar slam. A position he's never been in before and he is completed. |
| 0:37.6 | If you want to look at it this way, three of the five legs of a golden slam. He says he hasn't decided yet, |
| 0:44.0 | whether he will play the Olympics or something that we can discuss. In due course, I must |
| 0:49.3 | disclaimer this podcast with the fact that we have all just collectively watched England lose |
| 0:57.0 | the Euro's final on penalties and if we sound downbeat, it's not because we don't think 20 |
| 1:03.2 | Grand Slam titles is a marvelous achievement. It's because we've only just stopped crying in time |
| 1:11.0 | to be able to record this podcast. So, you're sort of listening to our very own therapy session. |
| 1:18.7 | Yeah, I'm going to treat this as catharsis and yes, it was not the greatest half an hour we've ever had. |
| 1:30.0 | But, anyway, I'm sufficiently long in the tooth to have seen about four of these now in my lifetime. |
| 1:37.6 | So, you know, that doesn't make it better, David. It kind of does. Does that mean I'm allowed to be |
| 1:42.9 | extremely, extremely sad? Yes, yeah, it gets easier. Oh, does it? Yeah, look how I feel, all right. |
| 1:52.1 | Billie Jean knows where she's needed and is placed herself on Matt's lap. Good, good, good teamwork |
| 2:01.5 | from Billie Jean King. She is the Garas Southgate shoulder to Matt's Bakao Saka right now. |
| 2:09.7 | Anyway, no MacJock of itch. Let's, let's row back a few hours to when there was hope and things to |
| 2:19.2 | look forward to and when it was a raining and life wasn't miserable. Hey, Matteo Baratini is at |
| 2:26.1 | least had a good evening. Should we look at it like that? Yeah, he's picked himself up tonight, |
| 2:31.5 | isn't he? Yes. Good for him. Right then, no MacJock of itch. 20 grand slam titles as it stands at |
| 2:41.5 | the moment, if the world stops turning and Matt looks like he might quite want that to happen. |
