1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,519
Speaker 1: It is time for our weekend sport wrap up, and again,

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Smith's sports reporter and the voice of rugby here at Newstalks,

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: joins me. Good morning, Good morning, SALGP thought Auckland looked fantastic.

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: It did. It looked out standing. Everyone got in behind it.

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the city of sales. The grand

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: stand was packed out. The racing, the sailing wasn't too bad.

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: Sating was pretty good as well. I mean it's so quick,

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: isn't it. Nine ten minute races. I mean that's shorter

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: than you know, seven's game. You think about those old

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: America's Cup races where they lasted for three four hours,

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: and now we're down to ten minutes sort of mini

12
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 2: races on the water. It's a quick concept. You're in

13
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: and out. Look. I thought it was. It looked spectacular

14
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: on the Auckland waterfront, and you know, bring it on

15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: more of the same. It sounds like they're negotiations to

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: lock it away for a few more years too.

17
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: What was fun about it was you had kind of

18
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: a different winner each race.

19
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't.

20
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't kind of set in stone how how it

21
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: was all going to turn out.

22
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: That's right, and some races I think you had on

23
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: the first day. Germany didn't shot up for one of

24
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: them because they had to sort something out. And when

25
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: you've got four races a ninety minute window, you know

26
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: you don't have time to a pair of things. Canada

27
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: went in there for a bit yesterday, so and Australia.

28
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 2: You know, it kind of went to the best overall

29
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: team over you know, the seven also races we had

30
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 2: over the course of the weekend, so there was some

31
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: consistency there. But I mean, it's just quick fight. But

32
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: if you don't get the start right in those races,

33
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: you're pretty much done for Rn't nine minutes isn't a

34
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: long a lot of time to crawl back a dodgy start.

35
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: So his only team managed to crawl back quite a

36
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: few places, just not quite enough at times. Absolutely, Hey, Ozzie,

37
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: Open of courses in full swing.

38
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: It is Djokovic. But a controversy last night. Didn't do

39
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: that traditional Oncurd interview at the Aussie Open they do

40
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: when Jimmy Curry comes and interviewed the players. And basically

41
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 2: this all seems out to Friday night, when one of

42
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: the Aussie broadcast is basically had a crack at the

43
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: Serbian fans on are They were chanting at him, and

44
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: he decided to give it back to them in spades

45
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: and told Djokovic, you know, he's not welcome in Australia.

46
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. Now Djokovic somewhey got back to say,

47
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: somehow got back to him. It's all over social media,

48
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: so he's refused to do the on court interviews. But

49
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: he was very, very good last night. This is a

50
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: big match tomorrow night. I suspect it will be Tuesday

51
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: night quarter final him versus Carlos Alcarez. Think of that

52
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: in the quarter finals in the Grand Slam Fundland itself.

53
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 2: So that's a huge match. But Djokovic and alcare Is

54
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: both winning through last night with a tinger controversy as well,

55
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 2: and down one feast playing tonight the ASP Classic. And

56
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: how good's he been number four yesterday?

57
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: And how delightful was he when he when he won.

58
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: Just gorgeous, outstanding, And you know he can barely she

59
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: just shuffles along the court. He can barely move, but

60
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: here he is taking.

61
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: It might move better than you and I as a

62
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: professional tennis player, and really quickly. Good to see Auckland

63
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: C back and form.

64
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: Yes, I've been a bit wobbly himn't they but managed

65
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: to get that one of the previous leaders in Melbourne City,

66
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,880
