Jonny Marray on the radio

RobC · All-time great

It's in the diary! (Sorry jonny!)

Salmon · Tennis legend

Good stuff.

The BBC site doesn't work on my computer most of the time, but I'll surely give it a try.

Although the programme is on 7-10. Jonny's bit is on just after 9pm for about 15-20 minutes, could even be a bit of me on there too!

I can't get my computer loudspeakers to work so would be very grateful if someone could sum up what Jonny and Tiger said, after the show

steven · Tennis legend

Now you're confusing me:

"Although the programme is on 7-10. Jpnny's bit is on just after 10 for about 15-20 minutes, could even be a bit of me on there too!"

So the programme Jonny is on will be on from 7 pm - 10 pm and Jonny will be on just after 10 pm, after the programme he's on has finished?

Did you mean to say he's on at 7.10 or something?

Bladetiger · Pro player

Sorry I meant 9pm, confusing myself here!

steven · Tennis legend

Ah ok, thanks! So, no chance he'll be on earlier?

Really sorry to hear that the shoulder's still bad (that flight back from Oz can't have helped!), hope he's ok for the Nathii Challenger. (that'll do while I try to remember the city!)

I've been having trouble with my Internet connection tonight so I only caught the last 5 minutes of Jonny's interview. He seemed to be coming over well though - came across as very enthusiastic but also realistic.

I'm wondering if we'll be able to get hold of it on the 'Listen Again' option once the programme is over, because I'd like to hear the rest.

Excellent plug for the website at the end!

Jonny spoke on stuff like what are his plans for the future (cracking the top 100) and how tough it is to become a top pro.
The program is more directed towards the average tennis fans instead of us hardcore ones and hence Jonny was being asked questions like which level he plays in (Challengers and some ATPs). Also some thoughts on sponsorships and how important they are. Quite a bit about his site in the end, so hopefully it will get more hits.

I had to turn the volume down to a great extent as it's 3:30 a.m. here and hence couldn't catch some parts.

To listen again. choose "Seth Bennett talks sport" It's at about 1 hr 20 mins - after the songs "Sexual Healing" and "Substitute"

steven · Tennis legend

If anyone missed it but would still like to listen to it, just go to ...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/networks/sheffield/aod.shtml?sheffield/seth_bennett_sheff

... and then click the 15 mins fast forward button 5 times and the 5 mins fast forward button once - you'll get two minutes of the song 'Substitute' then Jonny's on.

steven · Tennis legend

Oops, snap!

Unfortunately the loudspeakers on my computer have crashed so I can't listen to it

Thanks for the info Arka

Did he say whether he feels he has a realistic chance of making top 100 ? Was Bladetiger on at all ? what sort of stuff did he say about jonnymarray.net ?
