Oh, absolutely, mine's 22 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: on a very very similar theme. Case It was another 23 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: massive upset this man. Hasn't he been in a thorn 24 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: in our side so far at this torn from an 25 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: Ossie point of view, but andre Bubleg Alexander Bubleg taking 26 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: down Jack Draper. I don't think any of us saw 27 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: this coming covered in clay. The celebrations were remarkable, and 28 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: Duncan has caught up with him soon too, so looking 29 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: forward to hearing his reaction on a moment his first 30 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: quarterfinal at a Grand Slam, and he's been around for 31 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: quite some time too, So I love it. Got it 32 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: in clay, covered in clay. That was super cool, wasn't it? 33 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: Ossie update? Our last Ossie in action last night? Daria 34 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: kazit Keina taking on her great mate in mirror Andreva. 35 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: But unfortunately it was close. 36 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: She was certainly right in the battle, wasn't she, Dasha, 37 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: But she couldn't quite get it done. 38 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 3: Casey, Yeah, unfortunately she couldn't. It was a really high 39 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 3: level and high quality match. I thought throughout this throughout 40 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 3: its entirety, both women using almost every part of the court. 41 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 3: Early stages of that first set was really important. Dasha 42 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 3: was right there with Andreva, and then in the second 43 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 3: set she did gain a little bit of momentum and 44 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 3: started to be a little bit more aggressive. But wow, 45 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 3: for eighteen years of age, Andreva was just incredible. She 46 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: was just able to really play the big points really well, 47 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 3: particularly in the late stages of that second set to 48 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 3: close it out. I love the interaction between her as 49 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: the coach, Pachita Martinez telling her to put her shoulders up, 50 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: chest out at the back end when she was trying 51 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 3: to close out the match. 52 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 4: It really was quality match. 53 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: That was a really lovely moment Dasha throwing a wristband 54 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: at Andreva in tongue in cheek. But it was a 55 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: really high quality match. But yeah, she was. 56 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 2: So good on the defensive skills really impressed it. 57 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: Did like the way that she was pushed into corners 58 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 3: and then was able to just get back into an 59 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 3: offensive position was extraordinary. She played some higher lupia balls 60 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 3: just to give herself a bit more time and then 61 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: was aggressive when she saw the opportunity. 62 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, she was. 63 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 3: She played fantastic. 64 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: YEA, So that's the end for the Ossie hopes. But 65 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: haven't we enjoyed getting to know our new oussie Darik 66 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: hasnt Keina. Over the last ten days or so, she 67 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: continued to provide that personality when Duncan caught up. 68 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:41,119 Speaker 5: With it, mmmm mm yeah, um, oh my god, thank 69 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 5: you so much for that. 70 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 6: You must be in somewhat of a good move. 71 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 7: But just tell us about that particular match, what it 72 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 7: was like playing a friend out there and you see 73 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 7: the match unfold. 74 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 8: Well, yeah, you're likely to assimilar a couple of hours 75 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 8: softer of the much because so of course you're not 76 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 8: losing the you know, on the quadled stearch of the 77 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 8: s in a quiet side match, it's always you know, hurts. 78 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 8: But overall I have to look back and be proud 79 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 8: of myself because I get out of the difficult situation 80 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 8: being you know, in the little burnout before coming here, 81 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 8: and just you know, I was able to come back 82 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 8: and you know, show good tenures, show good emotions. So 83 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 8: for me, this is most important. I think this is 84 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 8: like kind of a trampoline to go to the next tournaments, 85 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 8: to the next challenges, and yeah, that's pretty much it. 86 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 8: And to play a friend it's for me, it's not 87 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 8: a big deal. Honestly, thankfully. I got a couple of 88 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 8: friends who I was playing against you, so I'm kind 89 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 8: of used to it, and for me it was never 90 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 8: a problem. 91 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 6: How would you sum up your role in Garross. 92 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 8: Dasha, Well, it was not it was not bad. 93 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 6: It was not bad. 94 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 8: Yes, I mean, of course the result could be better. 95 00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 8: It's always could be better and doesn't matter when as 96 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 8: long as you don't win, doesn't matter like on which 97 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 8: stage you loose, You're going to be disappointed. But I 98 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 8: have to you know, I take all the positivities because 99 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 8: as I said, I was in the troubles before. And yeah, 100 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 8: as my coach said, it's like we would have signed. 101 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 8: If they give me the paper that I'm going to 102 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 8: play fourth round here, we would have signed. I said, yes, 103 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 8: So yeah, just the positivities and really happy that I 104 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 8: closed the clay court book of twenty eighty five, the 105 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 8: clear court season with the you know, quite good result, 106 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 8: good tennis and now looking forward for grass court season. 107 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 7: And how much were you inspired by all the new 108 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 7: support you got from Australians both here in Paris and 109 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 7: also back home. 110 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 8: Well, honestly, like very inspired. I think in some ways 111 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 8: it's also helped me to you know, get out of 112 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 8: this hole which I was a couple of weeks ago. 113 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 8: And you know, when I see the people who support 114 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 8: me just because they want to support that, they don't 115 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 8: expect me to show some result or something particular, it's 116 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 8: it feels great. Honestly, it's this unconditional support. It's just amazing. 117 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 8: And this is something I like, I couldn't experience much 118 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 8: before and now it just feels, yeah, feels very special 119 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 8: and more I will get it, I think more. It 120 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 8: will help me more to inspire me and also on 121 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 8: the court of the court. And yeah, and this is 122 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 8: friends were no longer. I cannot imagine what will be 123 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 8: back in Melbourne. 124 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 4: I really love. 125 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: I love that she mentioned the unconditional support because that 126 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 3: is so Australian, and I love that she's getting to 127 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 3: experience that Stubbs because honestly, as a as a tennis player, 128 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 3: being an Australian tennis player, there's nothing better than knowing 129 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 3: you've got the whole nation behind you. She felt it, 130 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 3: and like she said, wait till she gets down under quickly. 131 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 3: The other thing is I can't wait for her to 132 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 3: spend a bit of time with our young Australians come 133 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 3: Yesary those young ossies that get to now be around 134 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: like a player like Daria Cassaquina, a top ten player 135 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 3: that she's been in the world before. I think that's 136 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 3: going to be wonderful for our next generation of Aussie 137 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 3: young boys and girls. 138 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: That's it, and she is making the move to Melbourne. 139 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: She's relocating to Melbourne, and the start of the interview 140 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: there for those that are perhaps across their TikTok, the 141 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: Miao Miao is a bit of a trend. Theyre miking 142 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: too across it. So if you didn't understand what that 143 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: was about, that's what she was doing there. 144 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: Let's hear though from her opponent and her good friend 145 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 2: in Mira Andreva. 146 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, this much was very intense. I think since the 147 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 9: very first game. I knew, of course that this might 148 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 9: is going to be tough. Last time we played against 149 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 9: each other was pretty dramatic final in where she she's 150 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 9: got the win, so I knew that I would have 151 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 9: to play my best and to fight for every point 152 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 9: because she's known as as a fighter, not always, you know, 153 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 9: she likes to. I feel like she knows how to 154 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 9: come back from score when she's down, and that's what 155 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 9: she did in the second set. So I'm just happy 156 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 9: that I managed to close the match into sets and 157 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 9: overall happy with my level today. 158 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 6: Finally, you and Dasha are very good friends. 159 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 7: We love the banter between you two, even at the 160 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 7: end when she threw her sweatband at you. 161 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 6: We never really see that. 162 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 7: But a couple of days ago I spoke to Dasha 163 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 7: and she told me that you were presenting for her 164 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 7: what the vlog YouTube channel, and she said that your 165 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 7: filming skills were absolutely terrible and the editing was just 166 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 7: off the charts for her. 167 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 6: How would you like to respond, Oh. 168 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 9: Well, I would like to say that I'm just learning. 169 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 9: When I took the camera from them in Rome, it 170 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 9: was my first time holding that camera, so please give 171 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 9: me some credit. It was just my first time doing this. Obviously, 172 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 9: I can agree that you know I could be better, 173 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 9: but it's okay. I have some time to learn and 174 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 9: to improve. But yeah, I think that their relationship is nice, 175 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 9: and you're right, we don't see a lot of things 176 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 9: like this as she did in the end of the 177 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 9: match throwing her rhisbon at me. So it was fun 178 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 9: and yeah, I promise that I'm going to try to 179 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 9: improve my film. 180 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: Ex skills, outstanding characters. The two of them has been 181 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: a great couple of days watching and having that band 182 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: with them. So thank you to Duncan and best luck 183 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: to both of those women. So Andreva now will play 184 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: Luis Bousson, who has been just this year's breakout performer. 185 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 2: Hasn't she What a story? 186 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 3: Oh it's just been incredible. You always get these awesome 187 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 3: storylines at the Slams that we kind of wait for 188 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 3: and a fairy tale run Bason. She just played incredible tennis. 189 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 3: She is demonstrating clay court tennis at its best. Ye 190 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 3: she is a complete player on the clay court. 191 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 4: She's here. 192 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 3: I think around about seventy percent throughout the whole tournament 193 00:09:58,600 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 3: have been on the forehand side. 194 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 4: She's a really dominant fourhand player. 195 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: She really runs around it, doesn't she she's desperate to 196 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: get to it. 197 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, she'll give up a lot of ground just to 198 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 3: look for a forehand. But she's very strong off that side, 199 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 3: and on a clay court you have a little bit 200 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 3: more time to be able to do that and you're 201 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 3: not exposed so much. But all credit to us. She's 202 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 3: come forward, you know what I loved. Also, she hit 203 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 3: some beautiful lob winners. 204 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 4: When Pegola moved forward. 205 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: She had that feel and that finesse game as well, 206 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 3: where she was able to flick the ball over the 207 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 3: head of Pagoula And Wow, what a run. And I 208 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 3: think she's going to go up to a career high 209 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 3: of about one hundred and twenty. So it's a pretty 210 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 3: big jump for a player like her. And I think 211 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 3: also just we talked about it, yes, so just the 212 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 3: ACL surgery, yes, twelve months ago, coming back, dealing with adversity, 213 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 3: all of those type of things kind of make the 214 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 3: story and this run so much more incredible as well. 215 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I only made her tour debut in April, let 216 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: alone Grand Slam. 217 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 2: Debut like she's made now. 218 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: Coco Goff was another one of our victors and through 219 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: to the quarter finals reasonably against Alexandrov. 220 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 3: I do think she was pretty untroubled through this match. 221 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 3: She was moving extremely well, was Coco Gough. I think 222 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 3: that was the probably standout thing for me in this match. 223 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 3: A pretty cruisy first set. Alexandrova got a little bit 224 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 3: more aggressive in that second set, but Goff served really well, 225 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 3: managed to own service games really well, and she's going 226 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 3: to want to continue to serve well against her next opponent, 227 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 3: which will be Madison Key. So I'm humped for that match. 228 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 3: But I think Alexandrova also just a few too many 229 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 3: unfourcederers of pretty high unfourstair account, but that was purely 230 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 3: because you know, Goff made her play a lot of balls, 231 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 3: was moving the ball around well, actually played her fourhand 232 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 3: down the line beautifully today. Coco just not trying to 233 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 3: go for too much. We know she's had a few, 234 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 3: you know, troubles with that foehand side at different times, 235 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 3: but she was actually just playing it with a like quite. 236 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 4: A neutral ball fourhand down the line. 237 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 3: It just changed up the patterns a bit, forced a 238 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 3: few more unfourstarers, but she was pretty happy with her 239 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 3: performance as well to the match, as. 240 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: She should be in the two key things there. I 241 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: think you said she's serving well in the forehand as well. 242 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: We're not talking about any negatives. 243 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 2: With Coco this year. 244 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: We're not pulling her apart, so that's a good sign. 245 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: She looks to go one further than she has here previously. 246 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: So Madison Keys, as you said, one American will make 247 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: it through to the final four. This was quite quite 248 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: a battle. Baptiste has had a remarkable run. 249 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, Baptista has played some extraordinary tennis. She's been super aggressive, 250 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 3: She's had some great wins to get to this point. 251 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 3: But today Madison Keys, as you can see in some 252 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 3: of this overlay, she was just on fire and so strong. 253 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 3: So she's eleven consecutive Grand Slams wins. Is Madison Keys. 254 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 3: You can see. They're the physicality to get a forehand, 255 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 3: and once she gets a good hit on that forehand, 256 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 3: it's actually pretty hard to retrieve. So and I don't know, 257 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 3: there's just something in you know, saving match points in 258 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 3: previous matches. That's a bit worrying for a Coco GoF 259 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 3: who now faces Madison Keys, because I do think that 260 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 3: that's probably allowed Keys to just free up a little 261 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 3: bit and once she gets that opportunity to open up 262 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 3: those shoulders, I faced it stubbsy and. 263 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 2: It's a big daunting. 264 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 4: It's daunting a big ball. 265 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 3: So yeah, that's a great next matchs. 266 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: Looking forward to previewing that one in the days to come. 267 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Men overnight and the highlight result 268 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: was the moment off the top of the show. Alexander 269 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: Bublic knocking out the fifth seed. 270 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 2: Jack Draper. 271 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: He dropped the first set, so perhaps just needed to 272 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: wake up again. He tell us he doesn't like to 273 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: be woken up too early. But wow, what a stunning performance. 274 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: How did he do it? 275 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 3: Casey well Public is one of the most gifted tennis players. 276 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 3: He's very gifted in regards to what he's able to 277 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 3: produce on a tennis court. 278 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 4: But he played really. 279 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 3: High risk tennis and he did it against Alex earlier 280 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 3: and we were all a bit like, can he continue 281 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 3: to play at this level throughout the tournament? And he's 282 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 3: done so. So he played high risk tennis. He was 283 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 3: serving second serves up around one ninety kilometers per just 284 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 3: willing to take that risk. He hits sixty eight winners. 285 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 3: But what about his drop shot. I don't know if 286 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: you saw many of them, Stubbs, but he hit thirty 287 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 3: seven drop shots throughout this match, nineteen volley winners. I 288 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 3: guess just one of those matches that you just walk 289 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 3: off the court and I've experienced it where you're just like, 290 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 3: everything just felt good. I played good, And I think 291 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 3: he said after the match, he just played the best 292 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 3: matches he ever had, and it's as simple as that. 293 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: So I love these shots. The best moment of his life, 294 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: he described it. I mean, this is his first quarter 295 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: final at his age. 296 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 3: It's extraordinary, isn't it. And I think when you're having 297 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 3: a run like this is nothing, there's no better feeling 298 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 3: as a tennis player. And look, yeah, he is just 299 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 3: getting down and dirty on the clay. He's prepared to 300 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 3: take risks, and against a player like Draper who has 301 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 3: actually been playing such good tennis, you have to kind 302 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 3: of take that risk. But yeah, it's been great to 303 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 3: see Boobleck playing some awesome tennis. 304 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 4: It's good character. 305 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 2: He is, he absolutely is. Let's get some reaction from him. 306 00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: Done caught up with him. 307 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 10: This is the days you wait as a tennis player, 308 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 10: and especially you know, we don't like if you're not 309 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 10: a couple of top players, you don't win every week, 310 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 10: you know, you lose most of the times. And you know, 311 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 10: having achieved this at the Slams, it's a highlight. And 312 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 10: this is what I worked for. This is what I 313 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 10: hope to have more, but it came here, and so 314 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 10: I said, this is the best day of my life. 315 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 6: Congratulations, thank you. 316 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, quite the performance, wasn't it. Janix Ciner. 317 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: Likewise, we tried to sell the dream on this show 318 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: yesterday that rub Lev might push him because he defeated 319 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: him last year. He defeated him the only time they'd 320 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: played at Rolling Gawris previously. That was a pretty big 321 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: exclamation mark from Yanisna, wasn't it? 322 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 3: It certainly was. He played incredible. There was not much 323 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 3: more to say about Janixiner at this point, fourth round 324 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 3: against rube Lev. He's you know, he's had plenty of 325 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 3: court time in terms of you know, getting to the 326 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 3: fourth round, but everything's looking really good. And as I said, 327 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 3: I think a few days ago, just that the kind 328 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 3: of building of building blocks for Sinner from Rome, from 329 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 3: his coming back first tournament, from having three months off, 330 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 3: three months off, came back to be able to play 331 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 3: that level of tennis after having three months off, I 332 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 3: thought was already impressive. Hence so I picked him as 333 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 3: my favorite for this tournament. But then he's come to 334 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 3: Roland Garross. He's had you know, some really tough opponents, 335 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 3: but he has just done it with pretty much a 336 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 3: fair bit of ease. So he's looking extremely good. 337 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: We've seen him win majors on hard courts on the clay. 338 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: It looks like his game works very well here. There's 339 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: no real problems for him, is there. 340 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 4: No, not at all. 341 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 3: I think it's just, you know, his game translates onto 342 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 3: any surface. But I think, you know, he's definitely playing 343 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 3: some of the best tennis, and I think having that 344 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 3: three month layoff, he's also just fresh mentally. He hasn't 345 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 3: been having that grind since Australian Open, so I think 346 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 3: he's got that a bit in his favor as well. 347 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the question was put to him. He looks cool, 348 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: calm and collected, but is. 349 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 2: He really. 350 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 11: Absolutely not true. Inside, you know there is a storm 351 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 11: going on, But it's a tennis is a very mental game, 352 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 11: and you try to don't show any anything to your opponent. 353 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 11: You know it as well. You know how it works 354 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 11: when you see the opponent a little bit struggle, you 355 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 11: always try to raise and and someone who watched quite 356 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 11: a lot on the other side, you know, also I 357 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 11: try to understand how how my opponent is feeling. But 358 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 11: again I in the beginning of my career, of my 359 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 11: young career, actually was it was a little bit. Yeah, 360 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 11: the storm was also outside, No, it was not only inside. 361 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: Hey, masks well, he always looks so composed. It's phenomenal. 362 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 3: I don't know many players that wouldn't feel exactly like sinner, 363 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 3: like even the best of the best tennis. He said 364 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 3: it it's a mental game and that Yeah, it was 365 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 3: good to hear that though. 366 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: And the man who's probably been the best at playing 367 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: those games, Novak Djokovic, he hasn't dropped a yet, and 368 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: he dropped just seven games against cam Nari overnight. And 369 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: yet no one's really been talking about there's been no 370 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: drama with Djokovic at this tournament. 371 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 3: There hasn't, yes, and he's through, and I mean the 372 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 3: thing for me is a fresh Novak is a scary 373 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 3: Novak because he's so He's come through pretty much unscathed. 374 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 4: As you said, he's fresh at this stage of. 375 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 3: The tournament, which is really positive for Novak Djokovic and 376 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 3: his team. I think the thing there's that feeling that 377 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 3: you get as a tennis player when you just have won. 378 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 3: And I think he was interviewed by Laura Robson over 379 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 3: after the match and she asked him about playing Geneva 380 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 3: that tournament prior to coming into Roland Garrison kind of 381 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 3: what was the purpose for it, and it was just 382 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 3: that he wanted to feel confident. He wanted to feel 383 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 3: like he had that winning feeling. And it doesn't matter 384 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 3: at what level you get it at stubsy, whether you 385 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 3: have to go back to challenger level or you know, 386 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 3: lower level to get that winning feeling is something that 387 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 3: you can't just pull out of it. Yes, so Novak 388 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 3: has that and he's fresh and he's winning comfortably. So 389 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 3: look out, you know, Novak's you really looking for it. 390 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: The biggest drama that he's almost had, well, it came 391 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: after his last round match when PSG had just won 392 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: the Champions League, and it caused a few issues. 393 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 12: I want to thank the chief of security, who is 394 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 12: not here, but he was amazing with his team. At 395 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 12: one point, he was quite People were quite tense here, 396 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 12: I must say, for our return to the hotel. They 397 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 12: were not suggesting us at one point to go back 398 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 12: at all, to maybe find a place to sleep somewhere 399 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 12: around here for a night, because at that point was 400 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 12: already past midnight and there was some gas bombs and 401 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 12: you know, cars under fire and stuff happening on the street. 402 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 2: That was really dangerous, so. 403 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 12: Understandably, and actually everything around our hotel which is close 404 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 12: to Ardetrin. 405 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 2: So so yeah. 406 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 12: In the end we talked, we waited for a bit 407 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 12: and then we decided to go and then it was fine. 408 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 12: In the end we reached reached the hotel, all good, 409 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 12: but it was quite noisy with a lot of things happening. 410 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: So I just had to slip on the on the 411 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: floor in the stringer's office perhaps or something. Could you 412 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: imagine Novak Djokovic's doing that. He'll play Alexander Zverev, the 413 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: finalist here last year, who had a well, not a walkover, 414 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: but had a retirement from talent Greek sport with an 415 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: AB complaint. 416 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: That's that was tough for the dutchment. 417 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was not that I had many in my career, 418 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 3: but from experience of seeing other players with abdominal injuries, 419 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,479 Speaker 3: once you get one, it's so tough as a tennis player. 420 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 3: The purely just getting up and out of your surf 421 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 3: with an ab injury. 422 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 4: Is not fun. So look disappointment for him. 423 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 3: I think from Varia's perspective, if we talk about freshness 424 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 3: and time on court, it's pretty rare at this stage 425 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 3: of the two ornament to get kind of this experience 426 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 3: where you don't have to, you know, grind it out 427 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 3: through through the fourth round. 428 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 4: So he goes into the quarterfinal also fresh. 429 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 3: So how exciting does that set up a Novak versus 430 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 3: Zverev match up where these two players I think over 431 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 3: the length of five sets are two of the best 432 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 3: to do it. Zverev is extremely good over five sets 433 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 3: and Novak is also one of the best. And they've 434 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 3: both got fresh legs, so I think bring that much on. 435 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 3: That'll be a good one. 436 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: I think people will be talking about Novak Djokovic if 437 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: he wins that one, because then he is right in 438 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: the mix to get that twenty fifth Slam title. A 439 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: little Ossie update for you overnight Emerson Jones and the 440 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: Junior Shiels in action, but a win for Matti Ebden 441 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 1: and John Piers. 442 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 2: They're into the quarterfinals. 443 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, great to see Emerson get through Stubbsy, but this 444 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 3: was great for Matt v Dinner John Piers obviously going 445 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 3: there as the Olympic champions on the clay. They had 446 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 3: a really tough first round match where they just scraped through, 447 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,959 Speaker 3: but a couple of good wins, so they're tournaments firing 448 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 3: up and yeah, they're looking good. 449 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 4: Go the Aussies.

Can I call you that, 509 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 7: Andrea Pekovich. 510 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 19: Absolutely, I'll take it as a compliment. 511 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 17: And the truth. 512 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 7: What's been your highlight of Roland Garross twenty twenty five 513 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 7: so far? 514 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 19: Pecker actually two things, Galemon Fis, I think he played 515 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 19: two absurdly entertaining matches, one five five setter and then 516 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 19: the match against Jack Draper. I had tremendous amounts of 517 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 19: fun watching him. And then yesterday I have to say 518 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 19: both women's matches. We had Elena Rebakina against Igoshiantek, one 519 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 19: of the highest qualities matches here, I thought. And before 520 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 19: that it was for me the best match until then, 521 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 19: which was Jasmine Paulina and Elena Stelina. Yeah, so that 522 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 19: was really fun to watch. 523 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 7: Let's preview the two men's quarterfinals tomorrow, starting off with 524 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 7: Francis Tiafo coming up against Lorenzo Miscetti. France is kind 525 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 7: of flying under the radar here, twenty five and Lorenzo. 526 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 6: He's just in super form right now. 527 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 19: Oh man, Lorenzo Mazzetti. I have to first talk about Lorenzo, 528 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 19: but we'll get to Francis. He's just been so impressive. 529 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 19: I saw him for the first time when he was 530 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 19: sixteen years old at the four roh Italico in Rome. 531 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 19: He had a wild card for the qualities I went 532 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 19: out to watch him. A beautiful one handed back end, 533 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 19: but he was very much a teenager, right, a lot 534 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 19: of self pitying and chair I'm higher and the lines 535 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 19: and bad bounces and he has and he still had 536 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 19: that as a as a mature player as well, but 537 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 19: he has transformed that completely. 538 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 4: He's so tough. 539 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 19: He's like a Jack Russell Terrio who just like grabs 540 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 19: you by the calf and doesn't let go anymore. So 541 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 19: I've been loving this development. And physically, I really think 542 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 19: he took that lost heart against Novak Djokovic when he 543 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 19: lost six to Ozho in the fifth set, and he's like, 544 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 19: this guy is fifteen years older than me. How is 545 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 19: that possible? And you can just see the physical work 546 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 19: he's put in. You can see it on his body, 547 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 19: but you can also see it in the matches he 548 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 19: outlasts his opponent. So he's been really one of the 549 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 19: more stories and developments for me to watch on the 550 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 19: tour in general, men's and women's and then Francis. We 551 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 19: need more Francis the UFOs. We just need that entertaining, 552 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 19: bubbly personality. And sometimes, and we've heard players complain about it, 553 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 19: the tour is so long, there are so many tournaments, 554 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 19: it can really suck the joy out of the game 555 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 19: and for one player where that's the most dangerous as Francis, 556 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 19: same like Carlos Alcaraz, they need joy to play their 557 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 19: best tennis. And I really feel here with the French 558 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 19: crowd on a surface that gives them a bit more time. 559 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,959 Speaker 19: On the forehand, it's really been working well for him. 560 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 7: The second quarter final tomorrow is I not match and 561 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 7: it's conalds au Karaz coming up against Tommy Poule. What 562 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 7: does Tommy need to do in this match to give 563 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 7: himself any chance? 564 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 19: If I think he needs to do exactly the same 565 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 19: thing that he did in the first set against Janick 566 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 19: Cinner in Rome, I don't know if you've seen that 567 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 19: he won six to zero or six to one. 568 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 6: That's crazy match. 569 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 19: It was really weird. Yeah, it was kind of Haters 570 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 19: would say what the women used to do, but not anymore. 571 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 19: The women have really trans send it to another level. 572 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 19: But he did something incredible on clay. He was on 573 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 19: the line, taking balls early, attacking second serves like crazy, 574 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 19: and it was all working. And I do think that's 575 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 19: a lot harder to do in a best of five 576 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 19: format rather than a best of three. But I do 577 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 19: think just game plan wise, it's a similar thing that 578 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 19: he has to do. We saw it with Ben Shelton, 579 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 19: we saw it with Damir JOm Mouru. Both kind of 580 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 19: troubled Carlos, but only when they really forced themselves to 581 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 19: be on the baseline and take the balls early. For me, 582 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 19: right now, Carlos is the non plus ultra on the 583 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 19: clay courts, but he can be vulnerable if you put 584 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 19: him under pressure. He has to play well, though, Tommy Paul. 585 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 7: I'm gonna put you under pressure. Now, who's going to win? 586 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 7: Between Francis Tafa and Lorenzo City. 587 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 19: I'm calling a very classic al Chorasmuzetti semifinal. Going with 588 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 19: the Europeans. As a European, How sorry to this. 589 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 6: Man, so great to see. 590 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 2: Gat fun. 591 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: Not sure too many tennis plights have been this scribe 592 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: as a Jack Russell terrier that holds onto your car, 593 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: compliment when it comes from Pe. 594 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 3: Nice to see pet coach, that's awesome and dunk. 595 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: Of course, we're always always women's quarters. Your job is 596 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: to preview those for us. Let's start with Arena Sablenca 597 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: against Jung Chin. When this shapes as a beauty. 598 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 2: Doesn't it? 599 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 4: It does. 600 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 3: I'm excited for this run to set the scene. They've 601 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 3: played seven times before. Sabolenka has won six of those 602 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 3: occasions and Jong has won once, and that was in 603 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 3: the tournament prior to Roland Garris in Rome. 604 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 4: So I think it's juicy because of that. 605 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 3: It's like, how much does that win in Rome really 606 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 3: reflect maybe that perhaps the outcome of what will happen today, 607 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 3: or does Sabolenka really have this huge edge over Young 608 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 3: which has been the case on many occasions before. So 609 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 3: they're both feisty, they both compete, They're both pretty cutthroat 610 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 3: in the way that they go about their tennis, which 611 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 3: is awesome. I love it, But I do think the 612 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 3: matches on Sabolenka's racket. I think if she can produce 613 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 3: some really good serving. She can get up on the 614 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 3: baseline and get that ball hard and fast into the 615 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 3: forehand of Young. It's just it's a really exciting match up. 616 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, sure is. And I know that we're saying of 617 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: her earlier. Young really has to attack that second serve 618 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: of saval Anca. But you set the stage beautifully, let's 619 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: hear from the world number one. 620 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 20: I mean, it's always so tough match just against her. 621 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 20: She's a great player, and of course I expect a 622 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 20: great battle, and I'm super excited to face her in 623 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 20: the quarterfinals and I want to get my remanch Yeah, 624 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 20: I want to get this one after all, So I'm 625 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 20: happy to face her in the quarters. 626 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: Them's fighting words. Bring it on, Selina versus Sean Tech. 627 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: That's the other quarter final tonight, the supermuth Selina. What 628 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: a story it has been. 629 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 2: This year. 630 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 3: I tried to really be a fit. 631 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 4: That's the main goal for me. 632 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 18: Finishing last season short in September with having a surgery. 633 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 18: Was not easy for me to come back, but now 634 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 18: really trying to prioritize my health and the performance follows. 635 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 18: When when I feel fit. 636 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 14: These amazing fighting qualities, where did they come. 637 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 18: From I feel like from my childhood. You know, I 638 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 18: was growing up with my brother and we've always been 639 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 18: very competitive. You know, it's just all about winning matches. 640 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 18: And until the very last point, I tried to just 641 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 18: give everything fabulous play, how good it was that so 642 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 18: then I don't have any regrets. 643 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 14: So that just stays in that fighting spirit. Is it 644 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 14: all ways? 645 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 2: There? 646 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 14: I do sometimes have to look for it and activate it. 647 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 18: Sometimes I have to to really activate it and try 648 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 18: to to really switch myself on. Some days can be 649 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 18: more difficult than others. But yeah, on the Grand Slams, 650 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 18: I think it's like really crucial to to be there. 651 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 18: Try to find your opportunities, try to find you know, 652 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 18: these small openings to come back into. 653 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 4: The match for a finish. 654 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 18: And for sure, this really gives me a lot of 655 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 18: confidence and happiness that I got rewarded. 656 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 657 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 18: Right now, another big challenge in front of me, and 658 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 18: I have to be ready mentally, physically and tactically. 659 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: Selina and AGAs film Tech, your thoughts on this match. 660 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: She's a good fighter and she's gonna have to dictate. 661 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 3: What isn't she Yeah, I think we can count on 662 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 3: the fact that Spidelina is going to fight. I think 663 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 3: what she's got to do in terms of her game 664 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 3: is just to be ultra aggressive. She's already a transform 665 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,959 Speaker 3: player in terms of where she's come from in terms 666 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 3: of adding that aggression into her game. Now take it 667 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 3: to another level against this film Tech. 668 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 4: She's gotta be up on the. 669 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 3: Baseline putting some pressure on Eger, not letting Eger kind 670 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 3: of rip that forehand cross court and drag her off 671 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 3: the court. And look, I think it's going to be 672 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 3: tough for Swidelina, but I think she can do it. 673 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 3: But she's got to and it's one thing to have 674 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 3: that mindset, but it's also another thing to go out 675 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 3: there and execute. I think, as pet Coo said, exactly 676 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,240 Speaker 3: the same as you know Paul against an Alcarez for example. 677 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 3: So yeah, it's going to be an interesting match up. 678 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 3: But Eger has been looking in really good form and 679 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 3: yeah competing well as well and had to fight through 680 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 3: that last previous match which is a bit of a 681 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:54,959 Speaker 3: dangerous Fiontech as. 682 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 2: Well, So that gets her across the line. As a 683 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,280 Speaker 2: tip for you, yeah, I think we'll. 684 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 3: See a Sablenka versus film Tech semi final about what 685 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 3: do you think. 686 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: I would tend to agree. Yeah, yeah, I think I 687 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: think you've got to go that way, don't. You have 688 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: been impressive, You've been impressive today. You've got a couple 689 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: of days off. We'll see you again later in the week. 690 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: We're looking forward to that. We're looking forward to a 691 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: massive night of tennise here on stand Sport. 692 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 2: Every match available for your live and free and on demand. 693 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 2: We'll see you again tomorrow for Grand Slam Daily
