The Billie Jean King Cup Finals by Gainbridge are here, or in Glasgow to be more precise.

There for us is Matt, who spent the day in and out of preview press conferences talking to the teams, captains and players.

That meant being reunited with the Swiss team, who Matt interrogated after a controversial loss in the final last year.

We hear all of the gossip and chat from behind the scenes, despite the lights going out on Matt mid-pod, and try to work out who is most likely to come through each group.
