Daria kazak Kina, of course, 24 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: she was from Russia. She's recently become an Australian. She's good. 25 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 2: She's been as high as number eight in the world 26 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: seventeenth seed I believe for this event, played Siney Cova. 27 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 2: It was a good match, good struggle. Both these girls 28 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 2: know how to play on clay. But have a look 29 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 2: at Ozzie in you come. That's match point, studs. I'm 30 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:04,919 Speaker 2: on board. 31 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, the fist pump a little late ness. 32 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, I'm old. I'm old, and I'm cynical, and 33 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: sometimes I worry about players changing nationalities. But I'm going 34 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: to watch her ride through the French Open with interest. 35 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: It was a very good point that you made yesterday 36 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: about her doing it for ideological reasons and not for 37 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: the cash. So we are all on board for Ossi Daria. 38 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: My moment an emotional one. What do you know, I'm emotional. 39 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: I'm a sensitive new age guy. And Carolyne Garcia now, 40 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: she has been an absolute flag bearer for the women's game. 41 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: She's been as high as number four in the world. 42 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: Emily Moresmo there, she's a French favorite. Playing at home 43 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: for the final time. She has announced her at the tirement. 44 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: She'll play a few more tournaments this year. As high 45 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: as number four in the world. She won the WTA 46 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: Tour finals. You might recall in twenty twenty two, Wear's 47 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: a Heart on a sleeve. She admits her emotions have 48 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: got the better of her during her career. She had 49 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: a mental health leave last year. But great to see 50 00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: her smiling at the end of the day there despite 51 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: the loss to Banana. 52 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: Pearro and played so well at the back end of 53 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: her career. You talked about winning that WT final semifinals 54 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: of the US Open, And it can turn quickly, can't 55 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: it once you articulate that it's over. Yep, it happens quickly. 56 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,119 Speaker 1: All right. There were some headline names in action last night, 57 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: none bigger than the top two in blue Yannick sinner 58 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: I winner Carlos alcoraz I winner both in straight sets 59 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: and showing why most think that they will play off 60 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: in the final in just over ten days time. The 61 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 1: big upset Altmeyer in four over Taylor Fritz six to 62 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: one in the fourth, and then Surundlo going down as well. 63 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: Another scene, Well, I don't know a lot about Giallo, 64 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: but he must have game, because Serulo is really really 65 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: good on this surface. And I was just doing a 66 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: little bit of research on him, and he went to 67 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: college where you basically play a lot of your tennis 68 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 2: on the hard court so interesting that he can turn 69 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 2: that sort of hard court tennis into such an effective clay. 70 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: Cork game against the clay courterer. 71 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: Who's good, really good. 72 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: Well, let's start with sinner. It was a performance that 73 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: we expected, not without a scared down a double break 74 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: in the third and had to switch back on. But 75 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: you would have been impressed with what do. 76 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: You think that the fact that he was down to 77 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: break in the third. You know, he's been out of 78 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: the game for three months. You've got to concentrate for 79 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: a long period of time in best of five set matches, 80 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 2: so maybe just a dip in concentration. You know, he's 81 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: obviously played a lot of matches in Rome a couple 82 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 2: of weeks back. But yeah, he's still a bit of 83 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 2: work to do to be at his best. But he's 84 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: got that high seating protection in the draw. You get 85 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 2: the feeling he'll work his way into his best form 86 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: in this first. 87 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: Week and he has the power to the ability to 88 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: produce it himself. That clay shouldn't be a problem despite 89 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: him not making it past the semis here before. 90 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: It's not his best surface. I don't see why it 91 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: can't be a great surface for him because he's a 92 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 2: tremendous mover. He defends so well out of the corners. 93 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: Maybe just a confidence thing, but I guess he hits 94 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: with such firepower. He's just to the points being over 95 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: pretty quickly. On Clay, you just got to be attle 96 00:03:59,720 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: bit more. 97 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: Okay, he will play next Richard Gasquez, who I think 98 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: maybe you even played in the Twilight of your career, 99 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: his twenty second role in Garrels. 100 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 2: If I remember correctly, I reckon this guy, Gasco. I 101 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: reckon He's got a wild cut into Monte Carlo when 102 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 2: he's about fifteen. He has been around forever. One of 103 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: the sweetest single handed back ends you will ever see. 104 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: He's very popular player, plays with a lot of flair, 105 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 2: a little bit quirky, but that's the signature shot right there, 106 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 2: that single handed back end. 107 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: We have loved watching him in the French fans they 108 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: loved watching him too. So it's his farewell, but he 109 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: gets to at least have one more match, so congrats 110 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: to him. Congrats also to Carlos Alcoraz. This was a 111 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: performance that he said he wasn't necessarily expecting to play 112 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: this well played in style. What do you think of 113 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: the shirt the strike Listen Broke. 114 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 2: Did you see jailhouse rock dancers in the back of 115 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: that video? They were wearing something very similar. But yeah, look, 116 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 2: Carlos I said, yesterday's my favorite for the idol just 117 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: needs to dig in and be determined and compete, not 118 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 2: worry too much about entertaining. That'll happen organically. But that 119 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 2: was fairly comfortable in the end. 120 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: A walking bar code, you could say that, But Nike, 121 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. And he's worth millions too. 122 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: When you're getting paid that kind of money, you wear whatever. 123 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: Well, when you're wearing the Hugo loss blazer, you can judge. 124 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: Do you think they have input the players as to 125 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 2: what they want to win? 126 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: But yes, no, only Asaka definitely doesn't have a look 127 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: at that. In a few moments time, Taylor Fritz went down. Now, yes, 128 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: the fourth seed. You would say that that's a surprise. 129 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,239 Speaker 1: But is it because he has had some injury issues, 130 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: hasn't he? 131 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: When I look at Taylor's game, it's solid as a rock. 132 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 2: He's just got firepower from every corner. It doesn't look 133 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 2: like much can go wrong. So you would assume with 134 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: a few losses, a few injuries, the confidence is down, 135 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 2: probably not playing the big points as well as he 136 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 2: was would like, and that's hugely important obviously in the 137 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: men's game. But yeah, that's a big upset. I remember 138 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 2: he had a bit of controversy here at the French 139 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, the crowdings. 140 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. But to Daniel, you take nothing away from him. 141 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 2: No, absolutely not know he's been a good player for 142 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 2: a long time. But you know, on the surface of things, 143 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 2: you'd expect Fritz to get that done. 144 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: Well, I think you've hit the nil on the head. 145 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: Let's get some reaction from Taylor Fritz. But it's those 146 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: big points that seem to be the issue. 147 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 3: It's kind of just what's I feel like it's been 148 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 3: going on a bit lately. I think I'm playing generally fine. 149 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 3: It's just like every just a lot of important points, 150 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 3: just like playing horrendous tennis on a lot of the 151 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 3: important points, you know, like when I'm breakpoint down or 152 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 3: when I've got looks on his serve like love thirty fifteen, 153 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: thirty thirty all breakpoint, like just all the pressure like 154 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 3: important points. I'm just like, it's I don't know what's 155 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: going on, like finding finding ways to just play the 156 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 3: worst point possible. 157 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, points matter, Some points matter more than most. I 158 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: think there's a stat I think Novak Djokovic, of all 159 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: the points he's ever played in his career, he's won 160 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: fifty six percent of them, something along those lines. And 161 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: that was true a couple of years ago. I'm not 162 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: quite sure if that status correct as we speak, but 163 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 2: it just shows some points, Madam, more than most, and 164 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 2: Taylor Fritz is finding a way not to win them. Sorry, 165 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 2: mccollar was just gay. Just here. Sorry, we apologies to 166 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: the viewers. 167 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: Why do you apologize? Are in good shape? 168 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not the look when you said that. 169 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: You wanted to pick up off the back of that. 170 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: I thought it was something to do with the boss 171 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: being a boss sponsored person like you today. Francisco Swindlo 172 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: the eighteen centies, he touched on to put a full 173 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: step on that. That was yeah, quite quite a surprise. 174 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 2: Yeah it was. And Diallo born in Montreal, Canadian mother. 175 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 2: I believe his father is from Guana. But he's got game. 176 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: Look at him, big, tall, athletic and as I said, 177 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: for me, a guy that spent so much time on 178 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: hardcourt at US College. His game translated really well to 179 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 2: this surface. 180 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: Ozzie men. We had a few of them in action 181 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: last night, a mixed bag of results. We had nine 182 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: osies in action. Roll Alexi Poppron getting the win. You 183 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: see the score, there are two one in the third 184 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: Neishioka with a back injury and retiring Popper and seemed 185 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,119 Speaker 1: to have it over him from the start though, hats 186 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: and I'll look at these draws against Vukisch, i'mber getting 187 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: the job done against O'Connell and Lahechka against Thompson. So 188 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: some guys who probably came up against opponents that well, 189 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: they wish they didn't, but if you're not a seed, 190 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: that's what happened. So Alexi, he's in great touch, isn't 191 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: he Contemning over the last twelve months, I don't he 192 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: would have won his master's title since we last saw you. 193 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: I've been impressed with his development. I would have thought 194 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: it has clicked now. 195 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 2: He's got a big game, big game, and I guess 196 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 2: over the years he's very tall, long, lanky teenager. He's 197 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: gotten stronger, more miles in the legs, and he's become 198 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 2: a better match player. But he's got so many weapons 199 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: and had to move forward and volley. He's an all 200 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 2: court player, but he's got the big serve, he's got 201 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: the big fourhand, and he moves wellly. He grew up. 202 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 2: He spent a lot of time in Europe as a youngster, 203 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 2: so he knows how to move on the clay. Nitiocre. 204 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 2: Looks like he'd been in a good paddic though, I 205 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 2: must admit. 206 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: Let's hear from the victor with Duncan McKenzie. Maccarck. 207 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 4: Well, LEXI, you congratulations your first win here at Roland 208 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 4: Garrass since twenty nineteen. I mean it looked great to us. 209 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 4: How did it feel to you? 210 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it felt good. You know I thought I 211 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 5: played a solid I saw a match that you know, 212 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 5: allowed me to win the match, but you know that 213 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 5: wasn't my highest level, and I think mentally I was 214 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 5: a little bit frustrated out there on the court in 215 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 5: some moments. But you know I served well and I 216 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 5: kept my call when I was on my service games 217 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 5: and tried to you know, attack his serve and that 218 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 5: that didn't prove too successful for me, but you know 219 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,719 Speaker 5: I managed to get through one one game in each 220 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 5: set and just hold my surf throughout the end and yeah, 221 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 5: it's a good start for me. But you know, I think, yeah, 222 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 5: it's going to be interesting. 223 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 4: Finally you have a new coach, Wayne Ferrara, which means 224 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 4: you do not have one South African coach, but you 225 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 4: have too. How has the ban to change within the 226 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 4: Popper and camp and they've given you crap about rugby? 227 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 4: What's the deal? 228 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, Nev's a big rugby and cricket fan. And 229 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 5: you know the Test against South Africa's coming up in June, 230 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 5: so we're going to be watching that during Wimbledon and 231 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 5: during the grass court swing. That's going to be on 232 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 5: the TV in our house all the time. There surrounding 233 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 5: myself with more and more Africans. My fiance is from Zimbabwe, 234 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 5: my agents have brother is also from Zimbabwe and no way, yeah, 235 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 5: and I've got two South African coaches, so I'm surrounding 236 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 5: myself with Africans. 237 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: Love it. 238 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 4: We like this combination and best of luck in round two. 239 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 5: Thank you appreciate it. 240 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: It's a good addition, isn't it. 241 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. Wayne Freira did a lot of work with Francis 242 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 2: Tifo when TFO was certainly very successful under Wayne and 243 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: I played against Wayne, spent a lot of time on 244 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 2: tour with him in He's very knowledgeable. 245 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 1: You really Hedgecat a tough draw for Jordan Thompson, who's 246 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: had some injury issues, so perhaps apps a bridge too 247 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: far at this point in his return. 248 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I sort of watched Tomo in this, and you 249 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 2: could see that Tomo wanted to be aggressive. But have 250 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 2: a look at the day. It's heavy, it's overcast, the 251 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 2: court was slow. Tomo wanted to take it on, but 252 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 2: he just didn't get any value out of the court. 253 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 2: Of the conditions. Lahechka a very good player, Tomo probably 254 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: wanted to take a little bit of a look at 255 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: his returning stance. He returned very aggressively, and half the 256 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 2: time he made the return then was forced to back pedal, 257 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: so he couldn't put a lot of pressure on the 258 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: Lahechka serve. But yeah, well, doneder year he too good. 259 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: And count Hatchanov the very experienced seed taking out. 260 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: Vukich, Well, these guys have played before in a Slam. 261 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: They played it this ray and open, and I thought, 262 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: you know, perhaps Alex might have had a bit of 263 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 2: a better shot here. Kansanov is not quite the player 264 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 2: he was a few years ago. But Alex has got 265 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 2: a big fourhand, he's got a big serve, he's got 266 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: ways to win points. But once again, it was a slow, 267 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 2: heavy day and Kanshonov's just hard to hurt, so solid 268 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 2: off both wings. 269 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: Hugo Umbere the Frenchman had plenty of supporters as you 270 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: would expect, and Connell not quite able to match it 271 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: with him on this occasion. 272 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 2: He's got such a lethal serve on Beert. Chris actually 273 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 2: played pretty well. Chris was coached by an Argentinian here 274 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 2: in Australia and he's got really nicely produced ground shots. 275 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: He knows how to play on play, but the unbear 276 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 2: serve was pretty lethal as I suggested, and Umbert's an 277 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 2: all court player. He had the French crowd on his 278 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 2: side there. He played awfully well, but Chris did not 279 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 2: play badly. 280 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: Okay, So sixteen OSSI's in total making a first round 281 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: appearance at this year's French Open. Let's have a look 282 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: at the Aussies. The reaction tonight for the men. Three 283 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: more to go, including our flag there in Alex demon 284 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: Or against leslow Jerre, James Duckworth takes on Alexander Bubliic. 285 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: What it depends which public you're going to get there? 286 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 6: Right? 287 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's enigmatic, isn't he? But he's got game. He's 288 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: a really dangerous player. You would suggest, well, Ducks has 289 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 2: got a tremendous serve. He'll be in the contest. But 290 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: you suggest that matches on Boblik's racket. 291 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: Adam Walton against Maximatra, that's a good dwarfing. 292 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: Y I think so. 293 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 6: Yeah. 294 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 2: Look, Adam, full credit to him, went to college in 295 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 2: the States, but he's just made a progression through every 296 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 2: stage of the tour and now he's arrived into the Slams, 297 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 2: hasn't a lot of Grand Slam experience, will not beat himself. 298 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 2: He's very patient. He's definitely got a chance. 299 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: So Alex Demonor his first match tonight quarter finalist twelve 300 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: months ago, that started that remarkable run for him. What 301 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: are we expecting? What does he need to do well 302 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: in his preparation? How does it all shape up for Alex? 303 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 2: Well, he takes on Leslesier, which I think is a 304 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 2: pretty good matchup for Alex A jeh doesn't. He's pretty linear. 305 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 2: He'll provide Alex with plenty of pace. Alex likes pace. 306 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 2: He likes to take the ball on the rise and 307 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: take time away from his opponents. I think he's in 308 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 2: a pretty good place. I think he's got enough matches 309 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 2: under his belt under clay court season. He mentioned in 310 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: an interview yesterday with Duncan that he's had a week 311 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: off to practice and prepare. He's in a really good 312 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 2: frame of mind, and he's got that high seating. I 313 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 2: think he's going to get through this one comfortably. 314 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: Okay, Novak Djokovic begins his attempt at a twenty fifth 315 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: Grand Slam title. It's a mac mackett's, not Duncan, McKenzie 316 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: mccag He's up against McKenzie McDonald of America. 317 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, which I think is a pretty nice opening round. 318 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 2: McKenzie McDonald's a good player, of course, you've got to 319 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 2: be to be in the main draw of there's the 320 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 2: araplane from Novak, the main door of a Grand Slam, 321 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 2: but he doesn't play with a lot of margins, and 322 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 2: I just think on the clay Novak's he's going to 323 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 2: deal with that pretty well. I don't think McDonald's got 324 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: the ability to get the ball jump out of his 325 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: strike zone, and you know, he's in his comfort zone. Novak, lookout. 326 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: Jack Draper is a top ten player now and has been. 327 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 2: He can get it out of your comfort zone. 328 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: Wow, where has this come from? Over the last twelve 329 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: months the progression and arrival of Jack has not just 330 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: been a talent, but now actually week in week out 331 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: getting that consistency. Yeah. 332 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 2: I think, well, if you've got a big game, it 333 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 2: can take a little longer to come to fruition. You know, 334 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 2: if you're a smaller player, counterpuncher, you can kind of 335 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 2: get organized a bit earlier in your career. I think 336 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 2: for Jack Draper, who does have a big game, he's 337 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: a disruptor. Yeah, it just takes that a little bit longer. 338 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: You know, tall players too, they just take a bit 339 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 2: longer to physically mature and grow into their body if 340 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: you like. But he's a disrupt you know that tremendous serve. 341 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 2: He's not afraid to come in, played awfully well in Madrid. 342 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 2: You know, fast conditions, what is it? You know, there's 343 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 2: some serious altitude in Madrid. So if it gets lively 344 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 2: at roll on Garas, keep an eye on Jack Draper. 345 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: One more big name tonight, Alexander Zverev up against Learner 346 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: ten Now this is a clash, but this is a 347 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: man we haven't really been speaking about in terms of 348 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: a title chance here. 349 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: No we should be because he's awfully good on this surface. 350 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: He's done well at the French Open, a serve that 351 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 2: just doesn't go away. The backhand is pure, certainly fixed 352 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 2: up a few of the glitches on his forehand over 353 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 2: the years, but has not had the clay court season 354 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: that you would expect from Zverev. He did play last 355 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: week in Hamburg, which is unusual for a big name. 356 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 2: But I tell you what I do like his opponent. 357 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 2: His opponent Leerner Tien if he was playing in my 358 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 2: ear eb be top twenty, so skillful, such a good player, 359 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 2: but not much of it, doesn't have a lot of power. 360 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 2: But it's a good contest. 361 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: And still so young. So that's one to circle and 362 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: keep an eye on tonight when you've got your multi 363 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: screens running here on stands.

Emma Navarro out top ten, 390 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: Jessica buzz Manero, This is a stunner. 391 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 2: Well, one thing about Spanish players is you know they're 392 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 2: going to be good on clay. And if you close 393 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 2: your eyes and think about a Spanish player, they're well drilled, 394 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 2: they're fit, they compete, and that's what we saw. I 395 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 2: think the unusual thing in this for me was the scoreline. Yeah, 396 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 2: just and you don't know what's going on behind the scenes, 397 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 2: whether you're feeling unwell or because the Spaniard sixty eight yep. 398 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 2: Obviously an emerging player. But yeah, that's one. No, no, 399 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 2: that's pretty new. 400 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: Fifty five minutes. She's twenty two years of age and 401 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: that's her first minute rolling Garris. What a way to 402 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: do it. So it made me think about some of 403 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: the big upsets in the years of tennis, and I 404 00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: immediately went to an Australian Opien match Kuyong nineteen eighty seven, 405 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: fourth round match. It involved Boris Becker against an Aussie guy. 406 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: Oh yes, his name was Boris Becker, had one Wimbledon 407 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: back to back, he was eighteen years of age, he 408 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: was in great form and this happened. 409 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 2: Jeez, look at the mullet. 410 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,959 Speaker 1: What do you remember of this? Note Boris, The crowd's 411 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: getting involved he doesn't like it. He tells him to 412 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: shut up. Here in a second, it was pretty He 413 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: broke three rackets. 414 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 2: Look how fast the grass is got. 415 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: Oh he's spinning on court? 416 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 2: Did I spin? 417 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: It's been a feeling of this. 418 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 2: Well, that's what we used to do back in the day. 419 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 2: So there's Boris. He had his world had changed. Oh 420 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 2: you were in his head and he did not changed 421 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: for the better. All of a sudden he was a 422 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 2: massive celebrity. 423 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: He jumps the net. You don't even react. Look at that. 424 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 2: He was an eighteen years old German. I don't lose 425 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 2: to aiding your Germans on grass. 426 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: But you had lost at the French and wimbled and 427 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: the year before the players outside the top one hundred. 428 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: You made the second round at US Open, and then 429 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: outside of the fourth round. It's two plays French and Wimbledon, outside. 430 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 2: Outside one hundred. 431 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: Yep, a year before not possible. 432 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 2: You were not the old Q and Pat Cash won 433 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 2: the title that year. I lost to Edinburgh in the Semis. 434 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 2: He beat Glendolin Simmis and then lost to Edburg and 435 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 2: then we went to Melbourne Park. 436 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: Do you know what happened to his coach? Two days 437 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: after one he was. 438 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 2: Beat him gone, and I refuse to believe I lost 439 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 2: to someone outside one hundred at Wimbledon. I'll get the 440 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: name that was because I don't believe it. 441 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: I'll get the name. 442 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 2: It's not possible. 443 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: We should get back to the current tennis and Eager 444 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: Shantech's yeah, yeah, you still don't smile. We cannot get 445 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: you to smile for a primo fato And you didn't 446 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: want to beat Boris backer Eger. This was important, wasn't 447 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: it just to get rolling? 448 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: Yeah? So had some off court issues, Eager, And you 449 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 2: start to wonder has it affected her on court performance 450 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 2: because she's just been so lethalong clay over the years, 451 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 2: not so this year. But we are contemplating that you're 452 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 2: growing stature by coming back to the French Open having 453 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 2: won it the last three years. Comfortable first round win, 454 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 2: which you would expect, and maybe that's just what she needs. 455 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: Just get through this first week and then it's game. 456 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: On Radocano up next. So two Grand Slam champions in 457 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: a second round match, of course, you'll see that right 458 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 1: here on stand Sport. Speaking of Grand Slam champs, Atlana Rebarkner, 459 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: what is going on with Elena the last year. 460 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 2: Is it off court? There's been some coaches with her. 461 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 2: Coach has that upset? 462 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 8: You know? 463 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 2: Sometimes I think we discount how important it is for 464 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 2: your personal life to be settled and to be happy 465 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: off court to play well on court. So I don't 466 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 2: quite know what effect that has had. But she won 467 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 2: this in three. Was not easy, and we're talking about 468 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 2: a player that was just so dominant there for a 469 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 2: couple of years. But once again, get through this first week. 470 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 2: You never know. 471 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: Palaberdoza and Naomi Osaka. We called it out one to 472 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: watch yesterday and it lived up to the billing. It 473 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: was a beauty. 474 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 2: It was a good match. I made a call that 475 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 2: Ahsaka would win this, and the reason I said that 476 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 2: was I think Bedosa's played two matches since Miami, two 477 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 2: matches he's been injured, and Osaka has actually been getting 478 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 2: some tennis under belt and playing reasonably well. So I 479 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 2: thought there was a chance of an upset. It wasn't 480 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 2: to be well done by Dosa. She fought, but I 481 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 2: wasn't happy with the outfit. I just don't think it 482 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 2: created a strong court presence for Osaka. 483 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: Maybe that was the problem. Was the cherry blossoms in 484 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: the hair. She wasn't happy. Let's get some reaction from 485 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: her in the postmatch. 486 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 8: I mean, I think as time goes on, I feel 487 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 8: like I should be doing better. But also I kind 488 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 8: of talked about this before, maybe a couple of years 489 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 8: ago or maybe recently. I'm not sure, but I hate 490 00:22:58,680 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 8: disappointing people. 491 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 2: So like. 492 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 8: Even with Patrick I was thinking was just now, I'm like, 493 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 8: he goes from working with like the greatest player ever 494 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 8: to like, what the this is? 495 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? 496 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 2: Sorry for cursing. 497 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 8: I hope I don't find. 498 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: Set's high standards. Patrick Moritogla, of course, her coach, the 499 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: former longtime coach of Saorena Williams. For the Aussie women, 500 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: Like we said with the men, a bit of a 501 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: mixed bag. Darius save will always going to be tough 502 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: against keyes Keina. We know I got the win over 503 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: Senor Covia, tom Yanovich got the chocolates in the all 504 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: Assie affair and Kimberly byrel running into a red hot 505 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: Jacqueline Christian. Let's start with that kazak Keina win. We've 506 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: mentioned her coming to Australia. This is a very very 507 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: impressive player that we've been able to recruit. 508 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 2: No, it certainly is. I watched a feb of this match, 509 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 2: and I really like the way Kazukina goes about to business. 510 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 2: That's in fact the match point, but she moves in 511 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 2: and out of the court. She really understands how to 512 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 2: play the game. She's very physical and it was a 513 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 2: good win because seneor Cova really took it to her 514 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 2: and there was a middle midway through that second set. 515 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: It was a real arm wrestle. Sinicova won that set. 516 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 2: I thought, now it's going to get interesting, but has 517 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 2: a kind of reasserted itself. It was good tennis. 518 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: Sinneykova doesn't take a backwards stand tennis court musty. 519 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 9: We know. 520 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: Let's hear from Daria with dunk Well. 521 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 4: Daria, congratulations your first win representing Australia at Grand Slam level. 522 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: What does this one mean to you? 523 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 10: Well, yeah, I'm you know for still super always it's 524 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 10: nice to have a win and you know, yeah, winning 525 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 10: the first time on the Grand Slam being an Aussie, 526 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 10: so it means a. 527 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: Lot to me. 528 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 10: And you know, it was a tough match. You know, 529 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 10: I was playing as the player who's fighting for every ball, 530 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 10: and yeah, as soon as you lose a little bit focused, 531 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 10: you know, they much can turn around. Even though I 532 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 10: was pretty comfortable in the first in the first first 533 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 10: part of the match, but yeah, really happy to you know, 534 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 10: going out of the court with the win.

How would you best describe your 539 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 4: game style to anyone who hasn't watched you play yet? 540 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 10: Well, I used to do this bit more now I 541 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 10: mean know, a little bit more in the solid way. 542 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 10: But still you know, I'm trying, you know, I I 543 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 10: don't got you know, the like huge strong body, like 544 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 10: some of the girls, some of the players. So I 545 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 10: have to win with something else and has to be 546 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 10: this one. Has to be my brain or my legs 547 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 10: or whatever. So sometimes yeah, I come up with some stuff, 548 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 10: unusual stuff on court, my game style, trying to find 549 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 10: the way, find the way. 550 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we look forward to watching you for many 551 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 4: years to come.

She talked about using everything she's got. If 555 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 2: you're a young, emerging Australian female junior, watch that match, 556 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 2: Watch how she goes about it. It's clever and we 557 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 2: need a bit of that. 558 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: She's a delight experience works for Isla tom Yanovitch up 559 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: against my joint two in the old Assie affair. 560 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't look mine. I didn't play badly. She's 561 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 2: got plenty of firepower, particularly off that forehand second serve. 562 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 2: Needs a bit of work. Think Ash Barty, think Sam Stozer. 563 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 2: Awfully good players, great second serves. Do not dismiss that 564 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: second serve and how important it is in women's tennis. 565 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 2: But I guess Eiler a little bit too big, a 566 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 2: little bit too strong, a little bit too experienced. 567 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: My the world is her oyster coming off that title 568 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: last week, so you wonder how much that played and effect. 569 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: Let's hear though from Eler well Eil. 570 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 4: The congratulations you've got a shot at revenge and you 571 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 4: took it today. How would you best describe the match 572 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 4: in your performance and these fans, Yeah, it's. 573 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 9: Been really good support today, but I'm just really pleased 574 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 9: with the way I played, you know, I put a 575 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 9: lot of thought into how I wanted to come out today, 576 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 9: you know, with your adjustments I wanted to do from 577 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 9: Robert and you know, it's never easy to come back 578 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 9: after such a short turnaround for Maya to come into 579 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 9: a slam, So you know, I try to take advantage 580 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 9: of that. She's so young. She's going to learn to, 581 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 9: you know, deal with those emotions down the road, and 582 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 9: you know, she's playing great tennis. So I'm just really 583 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 9: happy with today's weather. 584 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: A good performance there. It was a good performance for 585 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: Madison Keys, the Aussie Open champion. Unfortunately it was against 586 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: Dasha Saville. 587 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, Madison Keys, at the start of her career was 588 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 2: a great ball striker, but she's now become a great 589 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 2: tennis player. She's actually putting it together. And I put 590 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 2: a bit of faith in her coaching staff because obviously 591 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 2: something has given and she's become a better player. At 592 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 2: the back end of his career and well savaged by Keys, 593 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 2: a lot of people will be savaged by Keys. She's 594 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 2: just big and strong and as I say now too, 595 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 2: she's a little more judicious in a shot making. Before 596 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 2: it was hard, harder, hardest. Now she's thinking away through it. 597 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: And Saville making it through qualifying. So she's had a 598 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: good week in had some matches and hopefully that helps 599 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: her and in her return from injury back to some 600 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: of that best form that we've seen previously. Kimberly Berrel, 601 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: this was red hot Jacqueline Christown six one six love. 602 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and like on the surface, you probably thought Beryl 603 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 2: wasn't favorite to win, but certainly not by that school line. 604 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 2: So Kimberly's a great fighter, She's a tremendous competitor. She 605 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 2: just seemed a little bit frantic in that match. She 606 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 2: want it to be over. She seemed to have a 607 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 2: mindset that I'm going to play all attressively and yeah, 608 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 2: she had a little too quick to pull the trigger. 609 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's hope that's not the case tonight 610 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: for Olivia Gadeki because she takes on the second seed 611 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: co Co GoF one. Enormous opportunity for her, and she's 612 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: a very mature, very measured sort of girl. A year, 613 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: isn't she. 614 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look the other thing too, Olivia's got a great 615 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 2: serve and sometimes you know in men's tennis, even if 616 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 2: you're nervous or the occasion gets to you. If you 617 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 2: hold on your serve and create some sort of school 618 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 2: board pressure and gets yourself into the match, you can 619 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 2: feel an awfully lot better about things. But this is 620 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 2: a tough assignment, Coco GoF the number two seat. She's 621 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 2: played so well here in Paris, she's played so well 622 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 2: this clay court season, and she is a tremendous mover. 623 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 2: So your best shots are going to come back with interest. 624 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 2: But let's hope with on the strength on the back 625 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 2: of that, sir, that Olivia can create a little bit 626 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 2: of scoreboard pressure early in the match and get her 627 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 2: teeth into it. 628 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's see how she's feeling. She caught 629 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: up with Duncan as well. 630 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 6: Live. 631 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 4: Fantastic to see you're into the Roland Garross mangeur for 632 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 4: the very first time.
