@adbennet Perhaps the USA colleagues could teach the Indian colleagues how to make taxis outside the home "go away". Failing that, they could learn from the Indian colleagues how to function in spite of background noise.

Having done Zoom calls with colleagues from USA and India: If there is the slightest background noise, the typical USA colleague apologizes and immediately makes the sound go away. Meanwhile the India presenters have variable and sometimes continuous background noise from children, animals, taxis, etc. No matter what, they ignore it and press on. I haven't done any Zoom calls with people from Hungary, so I don't have any idea how they feel about it.

Could have they not arranged to do it in a place without background noise?

Great interview, covering the key games of the match by position, and also outlining psychological insights seen from both players!

And thanks to Sagar Shah, who apparently shot this hand-held with a phone?! Epic field journalism technical skills on display there.

Great interview, thanks Judit!

The background sound is very mild, you can hear Judit clearly the whole time. If you only have interviews in a studio, you don't get so many interviews...
