And speaking of Roland Garros, we say, 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 2: get a to the clay with dunk. That's today's tennis teaching. 7 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 2: That's all ahead on a very busy Grand Slam daily. 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 2: Great to have your company on this Sunday morning. Chris 9 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 2: stubs whether you want him a sir, is along something? 10 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 2: What a beautiful way to start the show. You were 11 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 2: just swinging along to the little tunes, a little friendship. 12 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 3: It was pleasant, wasn't It was? Paris is pleasant. So 13 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 3: we roll into one moment. 14 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: Let's do it. Take away no more small tool, No, 15 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: let's get straight. 16 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 3: This is a great lesson for you, because the racing 17 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 3: life is only against yourself. You've got to take little 18 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 3: wins wherever you can get them. And look at this 19 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 3: Lechka eleven games straight. Sinner was just pasting him, but 20 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 3: he's he's found a victory. He's found a little win 21 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 3: and the crowd have responded that was interesting too. He's 22 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 3: sir volleyed, there should have been a little bit more 23 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 3: of that because Sinny was returning so deep in the baseline. 24 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 3: But well done. The hetch Gerry kept his poise. He 25 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 3: was under the pump. 26 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: People say that demon or has problems with sinner. Well 27 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: he's not the only one. Have you ever been in 28 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: that situation? 29 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: I got pasted on by Lendel, did you. I had 30 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 3: a good excuse though, but we'll go into that later. 31 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: Okay, you've been in hospital, been on well salmonella poison. 32 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that'll do it. You had a reason my 33 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 2: highlight from overnight, Wally. You know I love a sentimental 34 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: emotional moment, and it involved mirror Andreva. 35 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: Let's just take a straight look at it. 36 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, when I was working under court, a little girl 37 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 4: that was with me, she just put it on my bench, 38 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 4: So I think it was kind of a lucky charme. 39 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 4: So of course I kept this, and I think it's 40 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 4: my lucky charme now. So I don't know wherever that 41 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 4: girl is. Thank you so much, because I think this 42 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 4: is why I want today. 43 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: There. Okay, Wally, you are my lucky chart wife. 44 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, well look where it's got. 45 00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: Nowhere. 46 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: Daria Keena another Rossie through to the second week, and 47 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: the way she did it too was very, very impressive. 48 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: But it took a bit of everything, didn't they. 49 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was humor and it was heavy. There was 50 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 3: a lot of moisture in the court, and Bidosa was 51 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 3: a very unusual first set from her. She was impatient. 52 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 3: There was a lot of negative energy directed towards herself 53 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 3: and towards her coach. She just seemed to forget that 54 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: Daria was the opponent. There was a few historyonics there, 55 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 3: and she was really impatient. She made forty one unforced 56 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 3: errors for the match in two sets. That's just way 57 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 3: too many. But look, Daria, she was composed. She just 58 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: moved so beautifully. She's a wonderful defensive player on the clay. 59 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: And look, Bidosa was coming for her in that second set, 60 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 3: and Daria just got a little hesitant on serves. She 61 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 3: was up six one two love, she served a big 62 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 3: double fault and that almost she just went into a 63 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 3: shell after that a little bit, and it allowed Bidosa 64 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: a bit more time to get into the match, and 65 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: I think it was important that she won that into 66 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 3: I think Bidosa might have got her in the third yep. 67 00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: I tend to agree. 68 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: So she's knocked out the ten seat and Duncan McKenzie 69 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: mccau caught up with her. 70 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, somehow I became a morning person because I 71 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 5: remember at the beginning of my career, I actually liked 72 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 5: more to play the evening, and then with the time 73 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 5: I realized that I'm a bit more focused and a 74 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 5: bit like playing better in the morning. So somehow I 75 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 5: switched it, and now I prefer to play in the morning, 76 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 5: even if I if I get the less sleep in 77 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 5: the morning. 78 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, when you're out on court and you know that 79 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 6: you're locked in, you're focused, you're in the zone, and 80 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 6: you can you can see your opponents just a little 81 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 6: bit off, how important is it to capitalize on that momentum. 82 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 5: Well, that's very important honestly. Today in the match, like 83 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 5: in the first set, I felt completely in controller. I 84 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 5: felt that Anyeraldy were playing, I'm in the better position. 85 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 5: Then in the second set, the things they changed a 86 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 5: little bit because I lost this momentum on two zero, 87 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 5: the things become a little bit wild. You know, Yeah, 88 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 5: I got a little bit tight. You know that the 89 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 5: score was tighter, so it was my coach called the 90 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 5: situation the jungle. 91 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 7: Okay, so I was in the jungle. 92 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: Welcome to the jungle. 93 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: Well, you're just saying you're really pressed with the way 94 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 2: she's smart tennis. 95 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: I ka hasn't she? 96 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, she really has, and she's spoken about it. The 97 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 3: fact that you know you saw and she shook hands 98 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 3: with Bidosa. Bodosa's the biggest strong athlete. She had the 99 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 3: power on tap. So when you're that type of play, 100 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: you've got to find different ways to win. You know, 101 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 3: you change the angles, you change the height, you change 102 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 3: the spin. But the big thing for me is just 103 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 3: the way she moved. She moves like a dancer on court. 104 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 3: She's a great mover. 105 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: Mirror Andreva will be her next opponent. Mirror was super 106 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: impressive last night. Look at that score line once again, 107 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: six three, six 's one not dropping a set. 108 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 8: Well. 109 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 3: A lot of the girls from Eastern Europe in particular, 110 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: they play a very similar game style. They stand toe 111 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 3: to toe. They got these brilliant double handed back ends. 112 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 3: They hit the ball hard. Andreva's just better than She's 113 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 3: one shot better. Yeah, joy to the rallies and the 114 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: Schoolne suggests you saw the drop shot there too. She's 115 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 3: starting to develop a bit more in an all court game, 116 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 3: not afraid to move forward. Yep, she's the real deal, 117 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 3: no question about it. The number six next to her 118 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 3: name tells a story, doesn't it. 119 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: Thirtieth win in twenty twenty five, the youngest since Sharapov 120 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 2: twenty years ago to achieve that feed at just eighteen 121 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 2: years of age, already titles in Jubai and Indian wells. 122 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: Coco GoF a winner last night, pushed in the second 123 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: set by Bushkiva. 124 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: Yeah it. She actually has a pretty good record against Buskva, 125 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 3: so GoF had to be on her toes. But she's 126 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 3: she's getting better all the time. 127 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: GoF. 128 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 3: She's actually enjoying a really good season and just moves 129 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 3: so well. A lot of players move particularly well on 130 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: one surface or the other. That's not the case for Gough. 131 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 3: She's just a brilliant athlete. And what I do like 132 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 3: about it too, is she's exploring ways to get better. 133 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 3: You know, she hired Brad Gilbert, she's working on a surf, 134 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 3: she's worked on four and she's not just collecting the 135 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 3: cash and content to be inside that top ten. She's 136 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 3: striving to be the very best she can be. 137 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: Jessica Pagoula, the Americans flying the flag in the men's 138 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 2: and women's game, no doubt about that. She need three 139 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 2: though against my Kevondrez. 140 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, no surprise. I mean Von drev is awfully good 141 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 3: on the clay. She present as a lefty. You know, 142 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 3: there's variation right there, but she's got different spins. She 143 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 3: really knows how to construct a point. She can take 144 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 3: pace off, she can play the drop shots, she can 145 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 3: move forward. So it was a good win from Pegoula. 146 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 3: She just never really puts the foot wrong. Just Begola. 147 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 3: Just a great competitor. 148 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 2: She will play Luis Busson the French wild card in 149 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 2: the next round, who defeated Jackamont in that. 150 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,679 Speaker 1: Battle of the two that was at Battle. 151 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: She wasn't it that the distance, So a great result there. 152 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: But in the meantime Duncan caught up with Pagola. 153 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I knew it was going to be tricky. 154 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 9: Haven't played her on clay, but I obviously know she's 155 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 9: had amazing results here all the time at Roland Garrol, 156 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 9: so I thought it was going to be tricky. It 157 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 9: definitely was a lot of drop shots, a lot of 158 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 9: me running for drop shots, which was getting very tiring. 159 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 9: But you know, I think I had the right strategy 160 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 9: of what I wanted to do in the first set. 161 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 9: I just was a little messy here and there. But 162 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 9: I think once you know, I got my first percentage 163 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 9: a little bit higher and kind of played just a 164 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 9: little bit more aggressive, I think that's when I was 165 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 9: able to kind of flip the match. And even though 166 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 9: I did, it was still some really tough games there 167 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 9: in the middle of the second and in the third, 168 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 9: so maybe a little luck and you know too, but 169 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 9: I was happy I was able to turn it around. 170 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 6: A lot of players ask the cheer umpire for regular 171 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 6: items water, more towels, maybe even ice. Yes, today you 172 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 6: asked for super glue. 173 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 9: Yes, I did. Why so, I don't know if it's 174 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 9: just a girl thing, but my my nail polished was 175 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 9: like kind of coming off, like chipping off, and it 176 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 9: wasn't I didn't want to tear it off because then 177 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 9: it looks like bad. So I just asked for super 178 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 9: glue and just kind of superglued it right back down 179 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 9: and now it looks brand new, so all good, but 180 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 9: it's just kind of annoying me. 181 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 6: You gotta look you based on Shatria, right. 182 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly. I didn't want like chipped nails. That's not good. 183 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: That is why Donkey's the best. The attention to detail. 184 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: And yes, your nails. I notice a looking great today, Wally. 185 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 3: How good is that? Thinking on the run? 186 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: Super glue there you Duncan doesn't miss a beat. The 187 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 2: American flavor continues. Madison Keys up against fellow American Sophia Kennon, 188 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: and you thought this might be a battle, and indeed 189 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: it was. 190 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, it turned out that way, didn't it. And as 191 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 3: Kennon showing a little bit of disappointment, but both Grand 192 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 3: Slam winners. Kennon sort of dropped off the radar a 193 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 3: little bit after she won that Australian Open. Fiery, there's 194 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 3: no doubt about that. But I'm really impressed with Madison Keys. 195 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: She's just evolved as a tennis player later in her 196 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 3: career and she's absolutely maximizing that shot making ability that 197 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 3: she has. 198 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: But well pushed, Yep, She'll play Hailey Baptiste next, who 199 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 2: defeated Jessicabusez miniir what a strong player. You know who 200 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 2: her coaches is that it's Francis Tierfo's twin brother. 201 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: Okay, so there you go. 202 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: We'll follow that story a little bit more as she 203 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: progresses away to detail. Let's talk about the men. You 204 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: have to start with the addix Inner after last night. 205 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 2: That performance just shows he is not just by the rankings, 206 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: a class above the rest. 207 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, we said this would be a test. Wasn't a 208 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 3: test at all. This is pretty much what he did 209 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 3: to Rude in Rome, just giving up so few games. Look, 210 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 3: it was interesting. Leahitchka from the Czech Republic. They play 211 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: half the season on clay, half the season on hard, 212 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 3: so he's quite linear. He's not a true clay quarter. 213 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 3: He knows how to move on the stuff, and he 214 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 3: knows how to play on the stuff. But he tried 215 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 3: to hug the baseline, but there was just too much 216 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 3: weight of shot ye from Sinner, So he was just 217 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 3: he wasn't winning the arm wrestle, and I felt, Look, 218 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 3: he probably would have lost put the same school line, 219 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 3: but he had to explore the net a little bit more, 220 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 3: and the way to get to the net is off 221 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 3: your serve. Sinner stands a long way back. Sinner would 222 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 3: have adjusted. Don't get me wrong, but sometimes I think 223 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 3: it's better to lose on your terms, not on your 224 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 3: opponent's terms. I mean, he was just getting beat up 225 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 3: there and he didn't. I think after about eleven games 226 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 3: he'd serve volley twice. You got to shake it up 227 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 3: a little bit more than that. 228 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: Yep, a seventeen straight Grand Slam victory for Yannick Sinner. 229 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 2: Can this man be a threat to him? In Alexander 230 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 2: Zverev straight sets win over Kabali, Well. 231 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 3: He can because he's got firepower. He can hit through 232 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 3: the courts where he's got an absolute world class serve. 233 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 3: It just keeps coming. The backhand is money. There has 234 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 3: been times in his career with the foehand has let 235 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 3: him down a little bit, but there's a winner from 236 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 3: the back of the court. On the backhand. It is 237 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 3: just a freight train that backhand. He's tall as well, 238 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 3: so he deals well with the height of the bounce. 239 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 3: On clay, it's hard to get the ball up above 240 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: shoulder height and take it out of his strike zone 241 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 3: and just have a look at the height differential there 242 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 3: as he shakes hands with Kabali. But yeah, Zvera has 243 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 3: had a quiet season on clay by his standards, but 244 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 3: a bit like Novak, he's just sort of moving through 245 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 3: nicely that first week. 246 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: Yep. 247 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: Well, his next opponent Talon grieg Sport, who got the 248 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: job done against Ethan Quinn Duncan caught up with the German. 249 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: It's good. 250 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 7: As long as you're winning, everything is good. But no, 251 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 7: I thought today was a good match. He's in the 252 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 7: form of his lafer. I mean, you just want to 253 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 7: and playing really really good tennis, so I was happy 254 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 7: with with today's uch. 255 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 6: You're a big football fan, So what does the sashes 256 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 6: Verev Champions League final watch party look like?

No, I'm 260 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 7: definitely going to watch it, for sure. One of the 261 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 7: biggest sporting events in the world. But I'm not going 262 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 7: out or anything like that. I'm still playing the tournament 263 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 7: here and that's the main priority. 264 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: I have more on that Champions League final a little 265 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 2: bit later in the show. 266 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: I wont to watch. 267 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: Yesterday All eyes Jack Draper julfon Seca. This was quite 268 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 2: some statement from Draper. Fon second just not quite ready yet. 269 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 3: No, the man beat the boy. Yeah, he's on his way, 270 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 3: There's no doubt about it. He is a great player. 271 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 3: But Jack Draper, hasn't he improved? I mean the forehand 272 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 3: has improved, his fitness has improved. His mobility is a 273 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 3: removable object. He returns from deep. There's a good look 274 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 3: at the serf from the camera angle behind, but left. 275 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 3: His serve is always dangerous coming from a great height. 276 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 3: But you couldn't push him off the baseline. He is 277 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 3: just rock solid at the moment, Jack Draper. 278 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 2: Novak Djokovic in straight sets, yet to drop a set. 279 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 2: He defeated Missilch. 280 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, no surprise. Novaki's an old fox, isn't He's had 281 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 3: a few uncharacteristic losses this season, losing in straight sets 282 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 3: on the clay and a couple of leading events. He 283 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 3: went to Geneva, got the matches he needed, He won Geneva. 284 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 3: That's his one hundredth title and just seems to be 285 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 3: right where he wants to be at this stage of 286 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 3: the tournament. 287 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 2: He will take on cam Nori next to in the 288 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,239 Speaker 2: Battle of All the Bricks, beat Jacob Firnley. So Djokovic 289 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 2: is moving on and he's pretty pumped up about it too, 290 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 2: and fair enough as he chases a twenty fifth Grand 291 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 2: Slam title, which is quite remarkable. Doubles update for you, 292 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: we had some Aussies in action overnight, but it wasn't 293 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 2: great news for Duckworth and Vugic going down to Roger 294 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 2: Vasselin and. 295 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, two and two fairly comfortable. So the Europeans they 296 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 3: know their way around to clay court. Look, Alex Wok, 297 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 3: it's not necessarily noted for these doubles, but good to 298 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 3: get the experience and a few dollars. 299 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: We're speaking of clay courts, Wally. 300 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 2: We're going to go a little bit behind the scenes 301 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 2: and get some in depth, up close analysis of what 302 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 2: makes the iconic clay courts work as we move ahead 303 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 2: to a preview of day eight. But a reminder, it's 304 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 2: not just about the tennis on Stan All nine matches 305 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 2: of the British and Irish Lions Tour here for you 306 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 2: on Stance Court starting June twenty eight.

Quite remarkable, isn't it. 317 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 2: Temperatures in the mid twenties and we are set to roll. 318 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 2: So what does that mean for the clay, for the surface, 319 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: it's iconic. 320 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: Let's learn a little bit more about it with. 321 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 6: Dunk at Roland Garross. The red clay courts are more 322 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 6: than just a playing surface. They're a canvas where tennis 323 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 6: history is written. Each match leaves its mark with every 324 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 6: slide and spin, etching a new story into the. 325 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: Fabric of this tournament. 326 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 6: So I want to learn about the tear batoo and 327 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 6: the meticulous process that goes into each day. Well, I've 328 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 6: great to meet you. Where does the clay come from? 329 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 11: Yeah, the clay come from on the top of France, 330 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 11: on the north. It's just between the border of. 331 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: Belgium, Okay. 332 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 6: And what makes these rolling garrass courts so unique? 333 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 11: The unique is the brick is very it's a mix 334 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 11: of old and new bricks. Then it's for that the 335 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 11: color is a little bit different. Compare the other tournaments 336 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 11: in clay. 337 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 6: And what do you do to prepare the courts every day? 338 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 11: Every day we start early at six thirty and after 339 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 11: we sweep the thin layer of clay for the day 340 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 11: before and after we put the new clay every morning. 341 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 6: Okay, and what's the white stuff they put on the clay. 342 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 11: Yes, it's calcium flake. That's very important on the morning. 343 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 11: Same things. When it's sunny weather, we need to put 344 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 11: calcium flake to stay the humidity on the court. 345 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 6: Why are you water the courts? 346 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 11: It's very important because it's a long day and you know, 347 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 11: and especially with the weather it's a little bit dry 348 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 11: and we need to put a lot of footo it 349 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 11: because it's very important. Is the leader of the courts 350 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 11: they're more humid and he's just for that it's comfortable 351 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 11: for the player. 352 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 6: Are you the busiest man at rolling Garras over these 353 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 6: fifteen days? 354 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 11: I think so because we started think thirty and we'd 355 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 11: finish about one hour after the last match or that's 356 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 11: a long day. I sleep only a three hours and 357 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 11: a half this night. I'm got to a bit tell you. 358 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 6: Well, David, we know you're a busy man. Thanks for 359 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 6: us to join us. You're on stand sport. Hopefully we 360 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 6: see in Australia sometime soon. 361 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: Yes, maybe, loving these incites. The white stuff. That's interesting, isn't. 362 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 3: It the base of the courts because they always use 363 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 3: local product, so limestone Paris the Houseman architectures are limestone, 364 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 3: so the base of the clay is baked limestone, so 365 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 3: it's rock hard. So I think Raffa's forehand and the bounce, 366 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 3: So all the clay courts have a very different characteristic 367 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 3: and Parisian clay is very lively courtesy of the limestone base. 368 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 2: Learning something new every day courtesy of both Duncan and 369 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 2: you my friend Men's preview the Wonder Watch. No doubt 370 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 2: it's Alexi Popperin taking on Tommy Paul. So this is 371 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 2: for a place in the quarter finals for the first 372 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 2: time for Alexi. This is a huge moment in his career, 373 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 2: isn't it. 374 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is. And you know an interesting matchup. 375 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 3: There's Alexi, He's got all the power in the world, 376 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 3: big serve, massive forehand, and Tommy Paul does everything right, 377 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 3: does nothing wrong. He'll never beat himself. He's really efficient, technically, 378 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 3: really sound, he's smart. Question Mark for me has Alexi 379 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 3: got the patients because a lot of his best shots 380 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 3: are going to come back and can he turn a 381 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 3: number of defensive points his way. So he likes to 382 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 3: control the court. He likes to be in charge. But 383 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 3: against Tommy Paul, you're gonna have to find ways to 384 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 3: win some of those points, turn them back into your favor, 385 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 3: win some of those defensive points. Tommy Paul will do it, 386 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 3: and I think Alexi's got to win his fair share 387 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 3: to win the match. 388 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 2: We must give our thanks to their friends French Tennis 389 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 2: Federation seven pm this match tonight. So it works as 390 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 2: you sit down whially with your caviare well, we're. 391 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 3: A rights holder, you know they should they should oblige 392 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 3: after it. 393 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: It's nice to see. Let's get some thoughts from Alexi 394 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: on this contest. 395 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 6: Yeah. 396 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 12: Look, I think for me it's very important to just 397 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 12: focus on myself not not try and focus on how 398 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 12: he's feeling or what he's doing on the other side 399 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 12: of the court. I know he's one of the fittest 400 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 12: players on tour, and the way he works in the 401 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 12: gym you can kind of tell it on the court 402 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 12: is really quick, is really fit, and the fact that 403 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 12: he's been able to get through two five setters back 404 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 12: to back is really impressive also, so I know it'll 405 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 12: be difficult. I'm going to kind of prepare for the match, 406 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 12: like he is fit, and here's one hundred percent, which 407 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 12: I assume he will be, and then yeah, and then 408 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 12: from then on is just focusing on myself and trying 409 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 12: to bring the tennis I've been bringing the last two weeks. 410 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: That is the question. 411 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 2: Fourteen sets of tennis in three matches so far for 412 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 2: Tommy Paul? 413 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: Does pop and get the job done? 414 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 3: Do I answer that? With my heart and my head 415 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 3: both we assume Tommy Paul is fine. He's played fourteen sets. 416 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 3: As Alexi rightly said, we assume he's going to be 417 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 3: one hundred percent. I'll go with a Lexi good man, Yes, good, 418 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 3: but this is gonna be really hard. Tommy he's a 419 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 3: great player. 420 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: He doesn't do much wrong, does he? 421 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: And again the American flavor continuing Ben Shelton with the 422 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: big task of Carlos al Karaz, how do you see 423 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 2: this match up? 424 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 3: Well, if the past is any indicator, I think Ben 425 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 3: is in a spot of bother. If this was best 426 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 3: of three, I think I give Ben a little shot. Yeah, 427 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 3: best of five. I think Carlos will have too many 428 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 3: answers Shelton. It's played in the daytime, that's handy. It'll 429 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 3: be a little lively, a little faster. Ben will get 430 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 3: a bit more value off that serve. Yeah. I just 431 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 3: think Alkraaz is in a pretty good place. Obviously, the 432 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 3: longer the match goes on clay, I think it's more 433 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 3: suited to him. Shelton will certainly be disruptive. He can 434 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 3: come up with a lot of winners. Big serve obviously 435 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 3: put him under some sort of pressure. Let's hope Shelton 436 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 3: explores the net doesn't get hung up in too many 437 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 3: deep baseline rallies. But I think Alcarez just has a 438 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 3: bit too much class over five on clay. 439 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 2: This is where he zero's in our isn't it. He's 440 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: dropped a couple of sets early. Sometimes he wins in 441 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 2: that intensity. But you think now with the best players 442 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 2: on the other side of the net, that that won't be. 443 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 3: Good matchup, isn't it, Great big lefty against Alcarez, who's 444 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 3: a great shot maker in his own right. 445 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 2: There's so much good tennis to watch, including tonight Lorenzo 446 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: Musetti up against Holgar Runa. 447 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: And that'll do it. 448 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 2: We'll hear from Houlgar in a moment and find out 449 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 2: what it's going to take to get his body ready. 450 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: From Russetti. By the way, the Italian Lorenzo Mussetti next. 451 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 13: For I had two good matches against him, and the 452 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 13: tour played him a couple of times in Genius. We 453 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 13: know it's all very well. It's going to be interesting. 454 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 12: Way to finish. 455 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 8: It's going to be a first media on Clay. I 456 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 8: think Olgar always played well here. He knows how to 457 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 8: deal with this. 458 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 13: Situation, playing my term says and most important, you know, 459 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 13: I'm sure he's also going to try to plan his terms. 460 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 8: I need to try to make him more and not 461 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 8: not give him too many options. You know, if you 462 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 8: put him on a defensive position, I think it's going 463 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 8: to be a little bit of a struggle for him. 464 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 4: He's looking good in Paris. 465 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 13: I don't want to go too much into the tactica. 466 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 13: You know, we know if he's listening. 467 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 8: I feeled ready to try, you know, with all my 468 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 8: effort to beat him. That will mean a lot. 469 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 2: From the gun show from Muzzetti, is it enough to 470 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 2: get him the win? 471 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 3: Holga doesn't fear reputation, he doesn't fear the big stage. Musetti, 472 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 3: I'll probably lean towards him just based on what he's 473 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 3: done over the clay court season. He's been in great form. 474 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 3: Takes the very best players on clay to beat him. 475 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 3: So I'll lean towards Musetti. But it should be a 476 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 3: good contest. Interesting comments Mszetti made about can't let Holger 477 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 3: stand and delivery. You've got to take it out of 478 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 3: his strikes and you've got to make him hit on 479 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 3: the run. Can he do it? 480 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 2: We'll find out Altmeyer to get your thoughts on that 481 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: contest as well. 482 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: The final of the fourth round matches. 483 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 3: Well, Oldma. He's taken advantage, hasn't he beat a Taylor 484 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 3: Fritz struggling somewhat for confidence, and he's taken his section 485 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 3: in the drawing.

But throughout the year I figured that, 505 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 10: you know what, people, you were so wrong, and I 506 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 10: feel so good on clay and I love being on clay, 507 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 10: So coming to the Rolanderos these days, I definitely have 508 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 10: a lot of goals for this tournament. 509 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 3: Understanding display a tennis from Arena Sablenka. Here Sablenka looking 510 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 3: very sharp. 511 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 11: Indeed, the target is this beautiful trophy. 512 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 15: So right now, I think I have a lot of tools, 513 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 15: I have everything I need to get the win. I 514 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 15: just have to go out there and fight them and 515 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 15: do everything I can and really hope to get the win. 516 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: So the tiger has been roaring, but will she be 517 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: put back in her cage tonight by Amanda and Nisimova 518 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 2: five to two in the head to head, including the 519 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 2: last battle in Toronto last year in straight sets. 520 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 3: That is surprising, isn't Isn't it? That really is surprising, 521 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 3: given you know the quality of seven NCA. But I 522 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 3: love the comments she made about, you know, investing in 523 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 3: herself and taking a game to new levels and adding dimensions. 524 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 3: And she's done that. You know, she's she's more adept 525 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 3: at the net. You'll see her slice that requires different grips, 526 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 3: you know, and that makes practice fun too. When you're 527 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 3: actually working on things to get better rather than just 528 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 3: grinding and doing the same thing day in day out, 529 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 3: you've got a bit of purpose. But look, I'll go 530 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 3: with Sabolenka, but that record five to two animasover, you 531 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,719 Speaker 3: cannot dismiss that. 532 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: Speaking of records, this is the women's one to watch, 533 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 2: I think you'd agree, And it's Eager's film tech up 534 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 2: against Elena Rubarkana four to four in the head to head. 535 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 2: But the two times they've played on clay, the Kazakh 536 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 2: has got the job done. 537 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 3: Who would have thought, yeah, But She's just got strike power, 538 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 3: hasn't she all over the park? I mean, we knows 539 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 3: fion Tek is one of the great defenders, one of 540 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 3: the great movers. But there are times when the conditions 541 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 3: are so that it doesn't matter how fast you are. 542 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 3: The balls is coming with such heat you can deal 543 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 3: with it. And if Rebecca in a place her very 544 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 3: best tennis, there is no question in the format fiancee 545 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 3: is in. It's not bad, but it's not the best. 546 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 3: There's no question that Rebecca and I can win that one. 547 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 2: So can Eager bring her best? That is the question. 548 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 2: But Dunk caught up with Elena. 549 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 16: Of course, I'm looking forward to this much and to 550 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 16: also kind of taste myself because I was not playing 551 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 16: as well maybe the previous months and tournaments. I'm so 552 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 16: happy that for now I've been playing really well, winning matches, 553 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 16: and as I said, I will try to do my 554 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 16: best to get through another round. 555 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: Can she get through another round? Who wins? I'll say yes, yes, Okay, Rebecca, 556 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: all right? 557 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 2: The upset tonight Paulina and Spittalina. This is a good contest, 558 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 2: isn't it. With their styles this is intriguing. 559 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 3: Just have a look at that slow mo of Paulini 560 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 3: just throws everything that she's got into her ground shots. 561 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 3: Fittelena just one of those plays you've got to beat. 562 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,239 Speaker 3: So I think she'll ask questions of the Italian, but 563 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 3: I think the Italian is in the form to get 564 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 3: it done. 565 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 2: Okay, So you're picking Paulini there as she tries to 566 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 2: defend her runner up effort from last year. 567 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 3: It could be over eight. That's happened before because a 568 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 3: lot of the seeds have gotten through, Like it's the sub. 569 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: Eight of all mads yah, including this lady. 570 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 2: The number eight Jung Jin went up against Sampson, who 571 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 2: wins that one? 572 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 3: And why I'll go with Jeng because I think she's 573 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 3: had she's got confidence, She's been some big players on 574 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 3: the clay leading in. I think her movement is key 575 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 3: and I think she's going to be higher than eight 576 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 3: very very soon. 577 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 2: Well, your European heritage, you love football.
