0:00.0	Hi, I'm John McInerd. I'm Bjorn Borg. This is Martina Navratlova. I'm Matt Vylander. I'm
0:05.2	Stan Ravinka. I'm Lainey Huit. I'm Andy Murray and you're listening to the tennis podcast.
0:20.0	Hello, welcome to the tennis podcast brought to you an association with the tenor gath. My name is
0:24.4	David Law. Commentated for BT Sport where I've just been talking about tennis for the past week
0:29.7	in Singapore at the WTA Finals and I'm now, Catherine Rittiger, at 2.48 AM local time sitting in
0:39.6	Dubai Airport, talking to my mobile phone, which is why you might find that the sound isn't quite
0:46.9	as good as it normally is because my microphone is just broken. And I don't really know what date is,
0:52.9	but you know, that's just a minor point. It's been a fantastic week of tennis. How are you? How's
0:58.8	Rosie? I'm very well. Thank you. We are slowly but surely ticking off those destinations on the
1:08.3	list of weird and wonderful travel-based locations that we can record a podcast in around the world.

1:21.2	again. I'm not going to say not permanently. No, absolutely not permanently. If I could smuggle
1:27.4	her with me, that would be great, but she's got some snoring to do in front of tennis with my mom and dad.
1:35.4	She has become rather an overnight sensation after pictures of her. If you haven't seen this, go to
1:43.5	at tennis podcast on Twitter or Facebook and have a look at Rosie Whitaker, tennis fan, enjoying the
1:51.2	Andy Murray against your offered song a match by snoring and looking the opposite direction.
2:00.1	It's very soporific having a snoring dog sort of lounging across your legs. I was doing my very
2:05.4	best to concentrate and really absorb and analyse that much for tennis podcast purposes. But
2:12.4	having so feet, having Rosie asleep on my feet was loving me to sleep. I had to stop myself
2:23.2	from drifting off with her on occasion. I should hope so. I'm quite disappointed in Razie really.
2:29.8	I mean, a Whitaker dog. She's a tennis ball fan, a big tennis ball fan, but
2:37.9	yeah, takes a look to peak her interest.
