It's all on me because there you go. Caitlin. 21 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: We had a week in China. We did, we did. 22 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: We can chain it, you know. 23 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: Speaking of the weather, the weather was really hot, really humid, 24 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: and it was super super sweaty, which candidly I was 25 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 2: jealous of. I was really wishing that it was this hot. 26 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: I was steamy here. The funny thing I was about 27 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: to say to you, was have you been to China 28 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: in that heat? And I was like, oh, that's right, forget, 29 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: I forgot you lived there, I did. How long did 30 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: you live there? For eighteen months? I lived there for years, 31 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's sufficient enough. 32 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: Beijing mostly Shaghai, went citian Zen and Gwandaan a couple 33 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 2: of times. You know, I haven't been to I mean, 34 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 2: China's a massive, massive, massive country. They speak, you know, 35 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: dozens of languages. But yeah, I lived there for a 36 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 2: little bit. And the weather extremes are brutal, profound. 37 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: I haven't been there. Oh have I been there in winter? 38 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: No? 39 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: I haven't been. 40 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 2: There in winter. I lived in Beijing. They have brutal winters, 41 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: very dry and cold, because Beijing is on the outskirts 42 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: of the Gobi Desert. In the wintertime, the Gobi Desert 43 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: tries to reclaim the city, as they say in local lore, 44 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: and so you get tons of sandstorms and it's nuts 45 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: and bonkers. But the weather was crazy, and even crazier 46 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: was what happened in Shanghai. Let's just jump in there. 47 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: They did in there a sort of a fairy tale, 48 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 2: yeah story, fairy tale, you know, we talked a lot 49 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: about Arthur Rindy Kinish, Yeah last week, because he was 50 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: tearing through everybody. Everybody, yea, including our favorite winer alex 51 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: Verev and lo and behold he faces off against his 52 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: cousin Valentine. 53 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: Did you say cousin in French? I don't know. I 54 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: don't know how you say cousin of French. 55 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 2: He faced off against his cousin Valentine Vauchera in the finals, 56 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: which is a crazy story. Who came through qualities? What 57 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 2: did you make of all of this? He beat Novak Djokovic. 58 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 2: I mean this was a mass that he beat calder Garuna, 59 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: like this was a win, a master's one thousand wins. 60 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 2: Like you you didn't think either these guys were gonna 61 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 2: get very far on the main draw period in the finals. 62 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: Rindy Kinishi could make an argument that you know it 63 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: was a shock, No, because he's been playing very good 64 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: tennis over the last twelve months and he's got a big, 65 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: dangerous game. And China is notoriously quite fast a surface, 66 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: although everyone including certain players again have complained about the 67 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: pace of the courts are all the same, but it 68 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: is usually a pretty quick sort of surface. So it 69 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: does lend itself to players with big games, big serves, 70 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: players that like to come into the nat players that 71 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: like to be aggressive, and obviously Ridna Kinesh is sort 72 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: of that along those lines. He likes to get into 73 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: the neat, he likes to impose his big, big, strong, 74 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: tall body on the court. And yeah, I mean, he 75 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: had a fabulous tournament, but then he you know, the 76 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: great moment was when his cousin walks on the court 77 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: to congratulate him forgetting in the final, and then they 78 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: have to play against each other. I mean, you haven't 79 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: seen this very often, Like we don't have a lot 80 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: of siblings or you know, family members playing up against 81 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: each other. Of course, the greatest rivalry of all timers, 82 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: you know, the Williams sisters, the Malava sisters back in 83 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: the day, But in the men's game, you don't see it. 84 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: I can't even other than Bob and Mike Brian, but 85 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: they didn't even play and see each other, I'm sure, 86 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: and singles on the ATP tour. So it's a real 87 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: rarity to see family members. And they're sort of very similar. 88 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: They're tall, they're sort of lanky, they play that they 89 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: have that you know, big swings on their groundstrokes, and 90 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: he was just a better player. I mean, he played 91 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: great against Novak. I don't know what was going on 92 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: with Novak. He like had some injury in the leg, 93 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: but then seemed to be moving great in the second set. 94 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: So I'm not I mean, I just I think he 95 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: was the better player, and I think it's again, well, 96 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, let's talk about Novak a little bit before 97 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: we talk about this fairy tale ending for this tournament. 98 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: But you know, he's just breaking down all the time. 99 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: If there was a legit injury, which you know, I'm 100 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: assuming it was in the first set, he looked pretty 101 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: good in the second set. But the same thing keeps 102 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: happening latter parts of tournaments for him, right, And if 103 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: you're talking about in best of three against a guy 104 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: that he should that literally said to him, it was 105 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: such a pleasure to play against you, it was. 106 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 2: That's not exactly the thing you want to me here 107 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 2: when you're working up the net. 108 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: Now, the guy lost his first game, you know, and 109 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: you think Novak's gonna winness like two and two, and 110 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: the guy comes back and beats him legit on being 111 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: a better player that day. He bait him. He was 112 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: a better player that day. He was taking the ball earlier, 113 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: he was coming into the net, he was playing bigger. 114 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: Novak just doesn't look like he has enough on the 115 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: ball anymore against some of these players. And I mean, look, 116 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: he's the greatest player of all time, he has all 117 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: the records. But at some point, and I've spoken about 118 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: it for months actually maybe even a year or two, 119 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: fila time catches up with you and he just looks 120 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: like he doesn't quite have enough on the ball. He's 121 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: not imposing himself as much. He's not serving as great 122 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: as he used to when he won a lot of 123 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: these big tournaments and big matches, And at some point 124 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: it catches up with you, and you know, you just 125 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: wonder how long is he going to do this for? 126 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: Well, you've said before, and it seems given the timing 127 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 2: that it wouldn't be the craziest to imagine that he 128 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: calls it a day in around Australia, just given his 129 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 2: record there and how much success he's had there in 130 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: the past, and obviously given the big Serbian population, I mean, 131 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: it feels like of a lot of the big Moments tour, 132 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: this would be a very fitting one for him. 133 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think the reason Caitlin I say it 134 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: is because he knows he can give one or two 135 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: really hard months of training, yeah, and then go down 136 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: to Australia and get the job done or not. Yeah, 137 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: but twenty five either we have a really strong showing, 138 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: really strong, stay healthy. But I just don't see. I mean, listen, 139 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong. I want him to keep playing. 140 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he's always so great to have in the draw, 141 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: but I just feel like, is he going to want 142 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: to keep just just grinding until the French and Wimbledon again? 143 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: I mean you have to think about that's six that's 144 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: nine months away essentially, you know, So is he going 145 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: to grind and play like Indian Wells and Miami and 146 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: you know, Monte Carlo and Barcelona and all these tournaments 147 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: again just to get to the French because he only 148 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: cares about the French and Wimbledon and the you are. 149 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 2: He's trying to win another humulate points Masters one thousand 150 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: or a Master's five hundred. 151 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: He's got all the records. There's no reason for him 152 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: to play anymore. So I just think I think mentally 153 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: it's such a grind and I said it. It was about 154 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: three years ago. I swear I interviewed him before a 155 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: match at the US Open, and there were things that 156 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: he said, and I don't know which episode it was 157 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: that we did, but he gave me an answer going 158 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: on to the court that felt different. It was just 159 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: along the lines I think. I asked him along the 160 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: lines of, you know, how do you get up? I mean, 161 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: playing Arthur ash at night? You know, how do you 162 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: get up for these matches? Still? And he has you 163 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: know what, I don't know. I can't remember exactly, but. 164 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: Not the sort of enthusiastic ready, I don't even know myself. 165 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, yeah, that's weird. 166 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just I don't know this moment in 167 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: time in my life as a commentator and as somebody 168 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: who gets to interview these amazing players. I just remember 169 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: thinking that felt different, that felt weird. And I don't 170 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: think he's won a Slam since that tournament. 171 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: Well, I will say, I think something that happens at 172 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 2: all levels of tennis is you sense some vulnerability. You 173 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 2: sense you know, people have auras and energy and certain inevitability, 174 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,679 Speaker 2: storylines hanging around them. I mean, the best players. It's 175 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 2: you know, it's impenetrable. They just carry that aura of 176 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: like I am here to win, and you see them 177 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: do it so often that they and everybody else start 178 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: to believe that nothing else could possibly happen in terms 179 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: of the outcome. And then, you know, some chinks in 180 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 2: the armor start to appear and you start to say, oh, 181 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: that that aura has has faded a little bit. And 182 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: now that's certainly the case. I mean again, Novakhchyokovic is 183 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: making a semi at a Master's one thousand at age 184 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: eleveny billion, so like kudos. I mean, it's not I mean, 185 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 2: these aren't bad showings at all, but at some point, 186 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: but it is do you want to get on another plane? 187 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: Do you want to leave your kids that are getting older? 188 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: Do you do you? You know, you start thinking, do 189 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 1: I semi finals making? You know two hundred thousand? Yeah, 190 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: that's great, fantastic. The guy's got a hundred million plus 191 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: dollars in the bank. He doesn't need any more money. 192 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: It's for me. It's a matter of you know, at 193 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: some point you have to say how much more do 194 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: I want to do this? And you just wonder, And 195 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: that's why I think maybe the strain open is a 196 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: real doable time for him time frame and then just 197 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: drop them. I can leave. And also the other thing 198 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: is that I want to say is that these other 199 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: players know that. Now, that's the difference. Like this qualifier 200 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: who's looked up to Novak his whole life, who says 201 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: what a pleasure it was and what you know, Oh 202 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: my god, Like he was so reverent when he went 203 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: to the net and said something. But at some point 204 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: you've got to be like, even a guy like that 205 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: is like, oh main, I actually on the court thought 206 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: I could win. Yeah, those matches you don't usually win, 207 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: all right, and Novak doesn't usually lose those types of matters. 208 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: I mean, would going back to this cousin display, I 209 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: mean they were teammates at the University in Texas, Texa 210 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: and m that's a place I have played many times, 211 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: College Station and that is a very very good men's program. 212 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: But you don't necessarily see a lot of stepping stones 213 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: to the ATP Tour. One of them, Frenda Connection is 214 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 2: now ranked twenty eight. Valentin Vasher is ranked forty now 215 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: a career high. I want to point out because I 216 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: don't know a lot of people know this Arthur. Rinda 217 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 2: Kanesh's mother is named Virginy Paque. Can you think of 218 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: anybody else whose last name is Paquet? Chloe Paque? On 219 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 2: the tour, the women's tour, who is their cousin? Also, 220 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 2: this is a there's a third and it's a lady. 221 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: I love you coming with the knowledge. 222 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: Listen, there's one thing I'm going to do, and it's 223 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 2: research French tennis players. I realized that Valentin Vashero competes 224 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 2: under the mona Gesque flag. He is a Monica citizen, 225 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 2: butod he was born in France and this family is French. 226 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: And whatever the grandparents were doing to birth a bevy 227 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 2: of professional tennis players is hats off Chapeau. 228 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: I guess you would say nothing will compare to the 229 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: Malaba sisters. For me, it's still somebody needs to write 230 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: that documentary. That's one of the most unbelievable stories. Three girls, 231 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: three women inside the top ten, and I believe they 232 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: might have even been there at the same time at 233 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: one point. Believe that's it's just unbelievble. I mean, of course, 234 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: being us and Serena, but you know, but this is 235 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: three I love it, like come on, I love it. 236 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: I love that anyway. So yes, what an amazing effort 237 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: from him. Great job, well done. 238 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 2: Fantastic outcome. I do want to say, so we talked 239 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,599 Speaker 2: a little about no Vectroovic. It does, yeah, like a 240 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 2: little bit of a missed opportunity for Medvedev here and listen, 241 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 2: his brain has been scrambled eggs for the better part 242 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: of eighteen months. So I don't want to like hang 243 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 2: too many things on this, but zooming out from Medvedev himself, 244 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 2: who I think everyone can agree this is a much 245 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 2: much better looking yeah, Danil Medvedev than what we saw 246 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 2: the summer in DC. Yeah, and the OS Open, where 247 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 2: no racket was safe from him smashing into smithereens or 248 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 2: water bottle or water bottle or bench or bench or whatever. 249 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: Coach. 250 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 2: But I do want to sort of point out, like 251 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 2: I'm not a big rivalry person. I don't care that 252 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: much about the hegemony of one or two players at 253 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 2: the top, but it does sort of uh speak to 254 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 2: the idea that like, hey, if Yannick Center and Carlos 255 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 2: Alcarez are defeated, PA injured, retire whatever as was the case, 256 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 2: not to play, choose not to play as was the 257 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 2: case in both counts for this tournament. Like who's stepping 258 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 2: up and filling void there? 259 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,479 Speaker 1: Well, apparently nobody. 260 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 2: Great, Yeah, two obscure cousins from the Texas A and 261 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: m Maggie's, which is again great and fun. 262 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: That's like why we love tennis. Go to school. Kids, 263 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: go to school. 264 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: Oh to school, totally go to school, you know, cam Norry. 265 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: I've said this for years. I'm such a proponent, especially 266 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: on the men's tour, to play college tennis, Like why 267 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: not get a scholarship? Go you get the most amazing training. 268 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: You know, Caitlin, you did it. I did not. I 269 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: went straight to the pros. It was very different for me. 270 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: But given the opportunity, I would have liked I probably 271 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: would have loved to play two or three. It would 272 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: have been really good for me to actually play college tennis, 273 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: because I kind of waffled around for a few years, 274 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: like eighteen, nineteen, twenty twenty one. I mean, I think 275 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: I qualified at Wimbledon when I was eighteen or maybe 276 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: nineteen or something. But I think I honestly could have 277 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: done that and gone to college. That's what Lisa Raymond did. 278 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: She went to college for two years, and I think 279 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: made the fourth round of Wimbledon at one point still 280 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: at college, lost a type like a really unbelievable match 281 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: to Jennifer DICAPRIARTI, who was pro. And so there are 282 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: people that can do it, you know, Danielle Collins like, 283 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: so I just think if you're a little unsure and Navarro, 284 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a little bit unsure of sort 285 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: of like what you're capable of doing, go to school 286 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: and you can still play professionally for sure. 287 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 2: And I would say for especially on the men's side. 288 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: You know, if you're playing at Texas Texas and m Florida, Stanford, 289 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 2: these are probably Alloys Illinois, Like there are several of 290 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 2: these programs that are quite elite who spit out pros. Yes, 291 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 2: maybe they don't stay for all four years. USC is 292 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 2: a great program, like, but yeah, you're getting the competition. 293 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 2: Maybe take a year or two. Get the strength training, 294 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: get the exactly, get the physique, get the you know. 295 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: Get the coaching. To go to a school with a 296 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: really good coach, good players. You know, you're going to 297 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: get two or three hours of practice every single day. 298 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: You're going to get in the gym, you're going to 299 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: have your nutrition less. You're gonna have literally a professional 300 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: style at college if you go to the right school, 301 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: and that can develop your game to be a better pro. 302 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: And then when you go in the pros, you you've 303 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: played and won a lot of matches and that really helps. 304 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: Then you go to the Challenger too, and you're like, Okay, 305 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: you're firing away there and you're winning matches, and then 306 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: you get into the pros and you can do I mean, 307 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: it's just unbelievable. This what this guy. I love it. 308 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 2: I mean, it's a great it's a great story. And yeah, 309 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: let's see what these these many cousins have to have 310 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 2: to do it. 311 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: Once I did look at the race to Turin, and 312 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: Carlos Akarez has eleven thousand points and Yannick Sinner has 313 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: eighty five hundred points. The next closest is Novak Djokovic 314 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: at forty five, one hundred and eighty. 315 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 2: Poll they're like lapping every I mean that. 316 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: Is and then and then it's Vera forty two eighty, 317 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Alex dimonor Lorenzo Mussetti. So there 318 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: is a fight still for the last couple of spots. 319 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: It looks like those eight that I just said a 320 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: problem ble locked in though, because Jack Draper is not 321 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: really playing right He's not playing right now, and he 322 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: is five hundred points behind the lines. Tommy Paul is 323 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: he in the mix there? No, he's not. Tommy. Tommy 324 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: hasn't had a great year. I mean, you know, comparative 325 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: to the way he played last year, Tommy is not 326 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: even close. He's twentieth. He has no chance. It's like 327 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: Kolgaruna Rude is eleven, Felix asia Alissimus twenty nine, but 328 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: that he is five hundred points, almost five hundred points, 329 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty points behind Mussetti. So if Massetti 330 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: and dem Or not shit the bed and don't win 331 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: another round this year, and Felix wins and does something 332 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: great like winning an indoor tournament, which he's done before 333 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: in the house he likes, then he has I think 334 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: that's the only guy that can get into the top 335 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: eight now. So so that's they're really firing there, and 336 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: that's really important. So I just wanted to add that 337 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: before we got onto the. 338 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of related to this idea that 339 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 2: like if there's yeah, I can curlos, then where is 340 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: everybody else, and the through is pretty far behind. They're 341 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 2: in the Maldives, the rest of them around the world, 342 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 2: all right under the women. 343 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: On to the women. Okay, so we stand corrected it 344 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: in so many ways. Okay, And I'm the first to 345 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: say I was wrong, but I'm not. I'm I was 346 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: wrong in one sense. But also I still stand behind 347 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: sort of the thought process of Coco not going and 348 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: playing in Asia, okay, and working on her game and 349 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: working on the part because she's only got a certain 350 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: amount of time before this rain open. But God, lover, 351 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: she goes and wins in Wuhan, and it's just like, 352 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: you know, what are you gonna do? And played really well. Look, 353 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: I feel like this is the story of Cooker. But 354 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: she played Look, I'll be really honest, like her draw 355 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: was pretty good. She didn't play against women that are 356 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: smacking the ball right. True. The hardest hitter that she 357 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: really played was, of course, Paulini hits the ball really 358 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: well and really hard, but with a bit of spin, 359 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: and Coco's game with that loopy forehand and run the 360 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: ball down. And the funny thing is Pauline's beat her 361 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: every time this year, So I give her a ton 362 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: of credit for getting that win, but other than Jess, 363 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: who I's got to say had to be out of steam. 364 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: Oh my god, how the hell did Jess Bigola make 365 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: the final? Not based on the fact that we know 366 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: how well she can play, but what the fuck? I mean, 367 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: that girl is on the court for twenty million hours 368 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: and vane. 369 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 2: It was insane and she managed to beat like Aria 370 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 2: Sabalanca that hasn't lost at one. 371 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: I don't think, no ever, no ever, no, I think 372 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: it was something crazy like twenty something matches, but also. 373 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 2: Twenty one and zero going into the Wuhan semi final. 374 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 2: She's only won that tournament. 375 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: And she's been Jess like so many times in big matches, 376 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: and it's like she gets up five to two, I believe, 377 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: in the third and just goes to somewhere else, not Woophan, 378 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: the Maldives and the Maldives, and Jess started playing unbelievable 379 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: that I guess kind of had that attitude of our 380 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: fuck this shit, yeah, cannot lose again, fuck it and 381 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 1: then just started like hitting winners all over the place 382 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: in Sabalanne and hit a ball I loved it, like 383 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: couldn't make above it. And then Jess saved for the 384 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: match and couldn't get her. All of a sudden she 385 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: started choking her service, like horrendous. She'll be the first 386 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 1: to admit it. That's why I can say it. And 387 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: then you're just like, oh my god, who's going to 388 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: win this match. But prior to that though, also Elena Rubakina, 389 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: that was a smoking from Sablenka straight said she is 390 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: not like getting it done either, and she's trying to 391 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: get into the last spots of the WTA final aid 392 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 1: as well in rehad and so that was a that 393 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: was not a good That was an easy two set 394 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: match in the end from Saballage. And Sabilinka was playing 395 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: unbelievable that match. She was serving big, she was crushing 396 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: four hands all over the place. It was like look out. 397 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, little Jess Bogola just 398 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: says no, not today, not today. Not today. 399 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 2: Might have been every other day leading up to this, 400 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 2: but not today. I mean I loved it. So what 401 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 2: was her draw, Jess Bagola? 402 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: I mean she. 403 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 2: Brutal, absolutely brutal. Jess Begoola came into the final list. 404 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 2: Those two have pleaded each other a lot. They played 405 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 2: doubles together. You know, obviously they know each other's games 406 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 2: very very well, and I think, all things considered, just 407 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 2: put up a good fight. But yes, you could clearly 408 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 2: see that after going through sabal Anca, Sineakova, Alexandrova, who's 409 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 2: had a great year, you know, Hailey Baptiste, who she 410 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 2: barely barely got away with eating eight eight six and 411 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 2: the third set tiebreak like she's had. You know, she 412 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 2: she battled. She had every single match going into the 413 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 2: final with three sets. Every single match, I know it 414 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: was in some were some were tighter than others, like 415 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 2: the Sineakova match she kind of ran away with, but 416 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 2: the Sabalanca match was brutal third set tiebreak, you know, 417 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: Alexanderva really took it to her. Those were three hard, 418 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 2: WoT sets, and yeah, Hailey Baptiste seven six and third, 419 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 2: like she really had no easy road. 420 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: And then she gets to the final and just like 421 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,959 Speaker 1: I'm sure she was kind of like and Coco is 422 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: the worst kind of player for her to play against. Okay, 423 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: why because not one point is going to be easy. 424 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: You're gonna buy every point and no matter how well 425 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: Jess is hitting the ball, it's coming back and it's 426 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: coming back with height on the forehand, it's coming back 427 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: with some power on the backhand. It's coming back with 428 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: some shitty slice forehands that are going to make her 429 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: get down and hit her another make her hit a slice, 430 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: whether it be off the back end or the forehand. 431 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 1: Coco is gonna junk you. She's not gonna miss. 432 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 2: She's gonna hit loop, slice, flat, cheesy, whatever it takets, 433 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: she's gonna make you flight, She'll make it. 434 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: She'll bring it to you. I mean, she is the 435 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: ultimate at certain times, not all the time. So don't 436 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: take this the wrong way people that love Cocoke, because 437 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: you know how much I love her. She's the able, ultimate, 438 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: winning ugly. She really would be the first to say it. 439 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 2: I mean, one of the things that was funny, but 440 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 2: in post tournament commentary, she released her video of herself 441 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 2: singing karaoke and celebrating afterwards, and she was like, yeah, 442 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 2: my team tried to tell me not to do this, 443 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 2: but guess what, I'm stubborn, And I think to. 444 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: Your point, she's stubborn. She's so stubborn. Hes stubborn in 445 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: even playing that thing. 446 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then she's stubborn in the way she wins 447 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 2: especial situations where maybe she's got to win ugly, and 448 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 2: I think, you know, list't winning ugly, it is still winning. 449 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: And my look, my thing was okay, and you know this, 450 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: I said this. It's the thing about winning ugly, is it. 451 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: It's got to be so stressful, Like at some point, 452 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: how much is she going to be able to take? 453 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're adrenal glance of like just being like zero, God, 454 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 2: I can't get a serve in the court. 455 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't hit my forehand. Ah, it's 456 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: not like I'm just having okay, I'm a bit nervous today. 457 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: Like Jessica Gula, her biggest issue was always like, oh 458 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: my bracket doesn't feel great, and she's kinetically always hitting 459 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: her strings and being like I can't feel the ball. 460 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: And she's never like I can't hit I know I 461 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: can hit a serve or well, there was a period 462 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: of time there in the Sabalanca match where she. 463 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 2: Couldn't, but you know what I mean, Traditionally she's not. 464 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: I would hate to walk out on the court and 465 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: know that there were two weaknesses that were so glaring 466 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: that everybody knew about. And as soon as I missed 467 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: one or two of them. I'm like, oh my god, 468 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: everybody knows I can't hit my forehand in the court 469 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: right now. It's like, how much like Sabalanca's not walking 470 00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: out there? I mean she was when she was double 471 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 1: folding twenty eight times a match herself and serving under'm 472 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: she was like she had anxiety based on her surf. Right, 473 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: how many players in the top ten are going, oh 474 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: my god, I hope I can hit that shot in 475 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: the court today. And that is Coco. There are times 476 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: where she was double folding again it was in the 477 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: semis or the final or whatever. But no, she just 478 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: keeps going. I mean, I don't know. She's built different. 479 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: She is built different. I mean I give her tons 480 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: of credit. Fuck I mean, I mean, I love it. 481 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the right thing because at 482 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: some point, again in a big match at the major's okay, 483 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: because it is a different feeling. Is it going to 484 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: hurt her though that she hasn't worked on those things enough. 485 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 2: I kind of feel this way about Coco all the time, 486 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 2: which is just like she's so good, she's such a fighter, 487 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 2: she's such a great boon to the sport. I can't 488 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: fathom why six months haven't been sacrificed at some point 489 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 2: along the way to just shore up the problems. Yeah, 490 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 2: because it can't be fun winning this way. But what 491 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 2: I tell you what today, I guess you know, lifting 492 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 2: the trophy of your head is the ultimate statement. 493 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: So like, what right now, I'll tell you what's not 494 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: fun when you're a coaching team and she wins the 495 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: tournament says you know what, Fuck you guys, You're not 496 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: getting a bonus.

We were on Well, you know what, I'm keeping 498 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 2: my money because I came because I had to. 499 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: Do it on b of you guys. Yeah, that's not. 500 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 2: That's a really interesting bit of insight. 501 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, we do have to also mention that Paulini just 502 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: she like smokes that was awesome, Like she played out 503 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: of her mind. I mean, shiron Tech also was not. 504 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: There's two things about shrion Tech and Rebeccna very similar 505 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: in the losses that they had just bad errors, just 506 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: not making the right shot at the right time. And 507 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's lacking in confidence. I think 508 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: that could be the case with maybe Rebekina, but with Eager. 509 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: I mean I'm kind of like don't know if she's 510 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: in that space of being confident or not. You know, 511 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: she won in Korea and then she's been playing a 512 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: lot when's Wimbledon, so you kind of think she's kind 513 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: of in that like floating purgatory area right now, really 514 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,719 Speaker 1: not knowing what she's doing. But you know, like I'll 515 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: give you an example. Two break points for Rebekina sable 516 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: Anca hit. I mean, because Rebekina can serve you off 517 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: the court like no, she's ind and you know, Sablenka 518 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: takes two returns and smacks them cross court to rabeck 519 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: In's backhand, and I kind have had like an opportunity 520 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: to go back cross quarter back through the middle, and 521 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: she tried to go down the line twice, bang down 522 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: the line, missing in the bottom of the banged down 523 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: the line, missing in the bottom of the net again, 524 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's technically one of the biggest points 525 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: of the match. You cannot afford to lose your serve 526 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: against sable Anka on one of the on two of the 527 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: biggest points in the match, I E. Breakpoint. You chose 528 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: to hit the hardest shot and as good as your 529 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: back end is and her back end is, who it's 530 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: as good as anybody's has ever been. You chose to 531 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,959 Speaker 1: try and hit that one down the line, and then 532 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: you did it again on another breakpoint, So that, to me, 533 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: that's just bad shot selection. And then for Tech, very 534 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: similar in a lot of ways, like had opportunities and 535 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: just sort of miss them and you just think, oh, 536 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: is that really the right shot to hit there? And 537 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: then on top of that, Paolini playing unbelievable and Sablanca 538 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: playing unbelievable, which is why those matches were straight sets. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 539 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: for sure. 540 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 2: I mean for me, the there was. 541 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: No Choco out there when and ugly getting that ball 542 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: back in the court. No, like Coco is not going 543 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: to try and hit that back and down the line. No, 544 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: he's going to take that back cross court. 545 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 2: D true, And she's just want to speak percentage shut okay, 546 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 2: you you now go down the line. That's right. I 547 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 2: love seeing Paulini surge in this part of the calendar 548 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 2: year and be part of the conversation again, she's your 549 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: favorite player. The tour is so strong when she is 550 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 2: playing well, and in years past we have had nothing 551 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 2: but big hitters win in Asia traditionally, and so. 552 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: The fact that big service big hitters, yet you know 553 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: it's fast. 554 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 2: As you said, the Nisimova and Sabilanca and Rabakna game 555 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 2: style is certainly favored in that and instead we have, 556 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 2: you know, some variety which again going into if the 557 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 2: year end tournament finals are to be interesting, and we've 558 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 2: already kind of established that. Besides Yannick Center and Carlos 559 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 2: Ocaas on the men's side, I don't know who else 560 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 2: is going to bring their A game to turn the women. 561 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: It seems like it's way more I. 562 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 2: Can tell you what the final is going to be 563 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 2: there already, Carlos Andiganik. Yeah, Yannick wins in three sets, 564 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, probably Yeah. I think when you look 565 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 2: at the race of the WTA finals, boy oh boy, 566 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 2: is a lot of fun. 567 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: When you look at who is in that section read 568 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: the points, I'm curious. So so Sablanca is pretty far 569 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: ahead of everybody else. She's actually at ten thousand straight 570 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: points twent ten thousand on the nose, not even ten thousand, 571 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,199 Speaker 1: one hundred ten ten down number. I think I've ever 572 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: seen that, to be honest, because it's very rare. Sean 573 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: take eighty three hundred and sixty eight. So they are locked. 574 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: Coco Goff locked in at number three, anissimo but at 575 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: fifty nine hundred points, so you know those four are locks. 576 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 1: Jess Bagoula is already in as well at fifty one 577 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: eighty three, and then there's a fight. Then you have 578 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: Maddie Keys at forty four hundred and forty nine points, 579 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: Number six Andreva forty three nineteen, so about one hundred 580 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: and twenty points behind, which is like the difference between 581 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: a quarter and a semi for example, at the next tournament, 582 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: now it comes down to winning or maybe a runner 583 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: up and a five hundred, and then Pauolini is at 584 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: eight at forty one hundred and thirty one points. Now 585 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: the big, big thing for Paulini was this week. Her 586 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: beating shon Tech and getting to the semis really helped 587 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 1: her because Rebarkina is at thirty nine thirteen, Okay, so 588 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: she is about one hundred let's see one hundred and 589 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: thirty about she's about two hundred points behind Pauolini. Now, 590 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: so that's a massive difference, right because when you so, 591 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: she's literally the only one that can pass Paolini. Alexandrova 592 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: is at thirty one fifty eight, so she is a 593 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 1: thousand points behind Paulini, so there's no chance of her 594 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: catching The only one that can catch Paolini is a Rebarkina. 595 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: And I believe there is a bunch of indoor tournaments. 596 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: So look, if Rabarkin is going to jump over Paulini, 597 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: it's certainly possible playing indoors in Europe. But that is 598 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: the only one. And so they jumped over Paulini, jumped 599 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: over Rebarkina for the number eight spot in the WTA 600 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: finals race in this tournament. So that's how important that 601 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: tournament was for Pauolini. And if Paulini had beaten Coco Oh, 602 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: that would have helped her mandus amount. But having said that, 603 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: she beats Riantech and now she's she's in the WTA 604 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: finals and rebark In it is outside of the top eight. 605 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 2: It's it's all going to come down to the next 606 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 2: three weeks. In Asia. Yep, they don't go. The women 607 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 2: don't go to Europe. 608 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: The men do. 609 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 2: But they're in China, Japan, Hong Kong. 610 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: And I got to tell you, Caitlin, I have been 611 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: there for this situation. I have been there for this 612 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: situation as a player in my own right, chasing points, 613 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: and I've been there as a coach with a player 614 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: who was chasing points, and it is so stressful. Sure, 615 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: it is so stressful and warrant profound, Yeah, of course, 616 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: and you're like, don't worry about what parl Like if 617 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: you're a rebek in this coach, or if you're a 618 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: poliness coach, you're like, don't worry about what they're doing. 619 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 2: You just you go and win the tournament. That's If 620 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 2: you win the tournament, you're going to be in and 621 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 2: you're going to be fine. 622 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, And then all of a sudden, you're like, 623 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: you win one match and all you're doing is looking 624 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: at the scoreboard. Are they winning? Are they winning? Are 625 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: they winning? Did they lose? Did they lose? Because you like, 626 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: at this point, at this time of the year, you 627 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: have a shit about winning the tournament. You're just like, 628 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: I just want to get into you stuff. Let me 629 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: get in finals, you know. So yeah. 630 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,719 Speaker 2: So it reminds me of October baseball, where it's like, 631 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 2: not enough for your team to win, the other teams 632 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 2: have to lose. 633 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: You got to have a good record to get into 634 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: the postseason. I want to take a. 635 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 2: Pretty hard pivot out of the Asia Swing to talk 636 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 2: a little bit about two folks we've talked at length 637 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 2: about on the podcast, and you don't know at all 638 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 2: what I'm going to talk about. So I'm excited for 639 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 2: you to see your face. 640 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: I love when you do this to me. 641 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, So as you run, need a drum roll, get 642 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 2: into drubble. So as you know, Nick Curios has a podcast. Yes, 643 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 2: Nipios has been talking to a lot of folks on 644 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 2: his podcast. 645 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: God I'm so scared now. 646 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 2: And Nick Curios has, uh, you know, taking shots. It's 647 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 2: a lot easier for him to take those shots when 648 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 2: he's not playing tennis and doesn't have to back anything 649 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 2: up on the tennis court. And over the weekend he 650 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 2: took a bit of a shot at Andy Murray, Oh, 651 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 2: which you know, geez, here we go yikes, And you know, 652 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 2: I don't want to say it is the worst, but 653 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 2: he was basically like, we used to be friends. We're 654 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 2: not friends anymore. I guess, and these are his words. 655 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: I guess. 656 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 2: He's just like a colleague. I mean, we used to 657 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 2: be closer. He was one of the people who's very 658 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: supportive of me, but now we don't talk. I wanted 659 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 2: him on my podcast and he acted too important. There's 660 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 2: your truth, bro find some time. 661 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: Well, maybe Andy doesn't want to come on your podcast. 662 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,239 Speaker 2: It's pretty clear any Marie does not want to come 663 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 2: on your And. 664 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons why I would venture 665 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: to say is that Andy doesn't want to have any 666 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: controversial shit out there, and he probably feels like it's 667 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: going to be a bit of a gotcha. Sure right, 668 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: And that's what you have to know when you do 669 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: podcasts or when you do especially long form interviews, which 670 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: a long form interview of people out there means it's long. Okay, 671 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: it's like thirty minutes, forty minutes an hour. 672 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not doing You're not doing at the desk 673 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 2: at Tennis Channel after you wint to matchine. You're unraveling 674 00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 2: some big themes. 675 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: You're going into some moment getting told in our ear 676 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: two minutes maximum, get him off the court. It's not 677 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: going to This is a different. 678 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,719 Speaker 2: Situation I would if I were Andy Murray also hadly 679 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 2: go on Andy Raddick's podcast. 680 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: Andy Raddick podcast is great. Andy Raddick, I'm sure respects him, 681 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: and Andy, if you want to come on mine and. 682 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 2: Now, sure, yeah, come on, And I'm sure Andy Murray 683 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 2: would have a great time on a lot of the 684 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 2: other really excellent tennis podcasts. I'm not sure that I 685 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 2: would choose to go on Nick Curious podcast, knowing how 686 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 2: controversial Nick has become in the last couple of years. 687 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 2: And yeah, it kind of the bedmeats who's kept with 688 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 2: you know, the Andrew Tears of the World and other folks. 689 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: Did he say anything, did he say anything controversial about 690 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: Andy over the last couple of years. 691 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 2: He's not, He's not ingratiated himself to a lot of 692 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 2: these players. 693 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: I think the arey don't necessarily trust. 694 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 2: That he's gonna do right by him, do right by 695 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 2: him necessarily. And and now I think if there's stipulation's 696 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 2: right to say, Okay, I'm happy to come on it, 697 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 2: but I don't want to.

He's going 715 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: to be in New York, Yeah, being in the Garden Cup, 716 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: I believe December eighth. Yeah, the last one wasn't very good. 717 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 2: So maybe this I mean, you know, look, I got 718 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 2: to tell you, you know when I when I look 719 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 2: at it as an overall picture, I just it's he 720 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 2: I feel like. 721 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: And Nick will never agree. Nick will never admit this, 722 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: and maybe we get him on this podcast and ask 723 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,959 Speaker 1: him this question. Long for an interview with Renee Stabbs. 724 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: But I just feel like in twenty years time, he's 725 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: going to look back on his career and he's going 726 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: to regret a lot of things. And if if if 727 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: if if it's exactly right, if if it doesn't exist, 728 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 1: like if does not exist? 729 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 2: Put in the work, you didn't you got the results 730 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 2: who didn't you can always you know, there's honor and 731 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 2: leaving it all out there and come, but there's not 732 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:17,959 Speaker 2: a lot of honor. 733 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 1: And you know, look, look he got he got injuries. 734 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: There's no question that he had. You know, it was 735 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: a terrible risk injury. And someone who like someone who 736 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: knows what that feels like. I had a risk injury 737 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: and was out for nine months and it really derailed 738 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 1: my singles career, team dominic, team, bench del Potro. I 739 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: think it's the worst, for sure, the worst injury a 740 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: tennis player can have. If you can't hit the tennis ball, 741 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 1: you can't play tennis. You know, of course every injury 742 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: is bad, but you know, I would argue to say 743 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: that a risk injury is the worst injury you can 744 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: have as a tennis player. But you know, if you 745 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: don't put the work in enough week in and week 746 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: out and you sustain it like a Novak Djokovic has done, 747 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: and like Rufa did, and Roger and you know, Serena 748 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 1: and all these people. The reason why they were great 749 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: is because they work hard every single day and they 750 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: didn't take a day off. And greatness comes with the 751 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:11,760 Speaker 1: most incredible work ethic and it's really hard. It's really 752 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: hard mentally to be out there on the tour for 753 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: twenty plus years, like you know, the greats of the 754 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: game have done. It's mentally draining. It's why these players 755 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: are pulling out left and rights, why we've been asking 756 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: about changing the calendar and tennis has changed. Like I 757 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: literally sit and watch some of these matches, Caitlin, and 758 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, these points are going for like thirty forty 759 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: seconds minimally, you know, we're talking like some of these 760 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: points are going for like a minute. 761 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 2: If you watch old YouTube videos, it's so comical. 762 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, how different. Yeah, and it's not the faults of 763 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: thirty forty years ago. 764 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 2: And there's a lot to love about the old day 765 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 2: of playing, but clearly, but it's a different game, this 766 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 2: different game overall. Point is absolutely correct, which. 767 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: Is just saw a guy who wasn't even in qualifying 768 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: beat the greatest player of all time and win a 769 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 1: Master's one thousand and he played college. Yes, Like the 770 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: level is of all the players has gotten so much better, 771 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: and these players are so good. I mean I was 772 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: watching the match in particular against Novak, even in the 773 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: second set, I mean, it was incredible points and the final, 774 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: like they were battling like twenty thirty forty ball rallies. 775 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: Even when I was watching the women's like Jessica Pagoula 776 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: and sable Anca and like Coco and I mean, they 777 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: were playing like fifty ball rallies. It was insane and 778 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,320 Speaker 1: barely breathing. Like literally, there was one. 779 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 2: Point that Sabalaninka try to hit a twin out was 780 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 2: the dumber shot she could ever hit and actually didn't 781 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 2: end up costing her in that particular. 782 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: I respect that particular, but I was like, what the 783 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 1: hell is that? But like just played like a forty 784 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: ball rally and was barely breathing. I'm like, these players 785 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,240 Speaker 1: are so fit. They put in so much hard work. 786 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: So if you want to be great, if you wanted 787 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: to be great, Nick Carros, you had to put in 788 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: the work week in and week out for years and 789 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 1: years and years, and you build layers of fitness and 790 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: build layers of ability to have a hang in there 791 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: in the big moments. And you were you great to 792 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: beat Roger Rafa and Novak. And there are the players 793 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: that can say that, no, yeah, wait to go unbelievable room. 794 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 1: But man I swear in twenty years time, he's gonna 795 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 1: look back and go, you won't ever admit it in public. Yeah, 796 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: I don't think, Yeah, but I think to himself in 797 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: the mirror. And I heard this on my favorite podcast 798 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: of all time right now is Amy Pollack. Good hang, 799 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: but agreed to good hand. Kristen Wigg said, you know 800 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: what I used to do, look at myself in the mirror. 801 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,319 Speaker 1: And you look at yourself in the mirror and tell 802 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: yourself because you can't lie to yourself, right. And so 803 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 1: she would like look in the mirror and like say 804 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: the things that she needed to say to herself. And 805 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 1: they can posit whatever eations or you got to get 806 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: your sit together. You got to stop thinking because you 807 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: cannot lie to yourself in the mirror, right. And so 808 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: Nick needed to look at himself in the mirror and 809 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: be like, what could I be doing better? Yeah? 810 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,320 Speaker 2: Or or or let me address what actually this is, 811 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 2: which is probably a little bit of fear. 812 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well you know, listen, go back on the podcast 813 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: that I've talked. We've talked about this at length. So 814 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: much of it came from his childhood. I think so 815 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 1: much of it came from him being bullied as a kid, sure, 816 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: growing up at Australia as a you know, a person 817 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: of color in a very country sort of town. Inch 818 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 1: in Canberra. It's our capital, but it's you know, it's 819 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: not like Sydney or Melbourne. And I think he was 820 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: bullied to as a kid, and I think that really 821 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,879 Speaker 1: made a difference in his life to how he thought 822 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: about things. So I don't know.

We've had amazing it's been a bang every year. 838 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 2: We're different Grand Slam champions on the women's side, crazy 839 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 2: amazing Grand Slam champion and not like random, no great 840 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 2: keys after spending two decades on the tour basically and 841 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 2: getting her made in the Slam in the most deserved fashion, 842 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 2: unbelievable eagish fiantec her least favorite surface. Nobody said she 843 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 2: could even make it basically like a final, much less 844 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,280 Speaker 2: win one wins Wimbledon. We've got the French Hoko winning 845 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 2: the French and oldest, which you know, it just everything 846 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 2: was amazing. And then on the men's side we have, 847 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 2: you know, really a dialogue of two people, and the 848 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 2: tournaments have been unbelievably good. And you know, obviously as 849 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 2: tennis always provides us with amazing storylines, we've had those 850 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 2: in spades. So drop us a line. You know, Renee's 851 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,280 Speaker 2: on Twitter, were on Instagram to give us some messages. 852 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 2: Let us know and we'll be back in your ear 853 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 2: to start looking towards the very last chapter of the 854 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 2: year and also end. 855 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: On a how note, And you know what I think 856 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 1: would be fun for everyone out there, because the USTA 857 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: implemented that mixed doubles, new thing, and then the strain 858 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: opens to do in their one point for a million dollars. 859 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: You should get down there, Caitlin, you have no win. Ugly, 860 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: get that serve and volley. 861 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 2: It makes you think I'm gonna win, Ugly, slide that forehand, 862 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:21,359 Speaker 2: and my whole thing is losing. 863 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,439 Speaker 1: Pretty like, how fun is that? For a million dollars. 864 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: Alcoraz has already said he's doing it. I mean, listen, 865 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: any player that's a good, decent player could win a 866 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 1: point against a great player if they get lucky right. 867 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: You could hit shank a ball, you could like hit 868 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: a neck chord, like it's possible. Yeah. 869 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 2: I always said, if I were ever to play one 870 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 2: of the game's great it's like a serena. I'm just 871 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,400 Speaker 2: going to try to to tree. You know what I 872 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 2: would do. I'm not trying to get in a rally. 873 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you all a little hint out there. 874 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: This is what you should do if you're an amateur player. 875 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: Serve under arm, Seriously, serve under armed. Just chuck it in. Sure, 876 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: they had to have to run forward, they're gonna have 877 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 1: to eat it, and you might hit a passing shot. 878 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 1: A lot. It's possible. So anyway, my point in saying 879 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: this is that it's interesting that all the majors are 880 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 1: starting to sort of try and one up each other 881 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: in these new different aspects of tennis. I like it. 882 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 1: I think it's fun. I don't think Wimbledon's ever going 883 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 1: to do anything like that, but you know what, that's 884 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,439 Speaker 1: kind of the unique thing. Yeah, but at the same time, 885 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: Wimbledon need to start really thinking about how they're going 886 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 1: to grow, right because these other tournaments are making so 887 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,319 Speaker 1: much money now trying to do these new implementations of 888 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:28,879 Speaker 1: three weeks. I have a whole big idea, but I'll 889 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 1: save another praccast. Oh should we save that on for 890 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: next week? 891 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe it's the most glaringly off topic off 892 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:40,800 Speaker 2: season idea. But I don't think Wimbledon should embrace not 893 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 2: their tradition, which is. 894 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: Tell you what they should do. Everyone should have to 895 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: serve in volley one time in their service game. 896 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 2: Oh wow, one out of every serv and but that's 897 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 2: a great idea. Yeah, mandatory servant. 898 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: Play your tournament. Yeah, play one tournament, first to six games. 899 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 1: You have to serve and volley one time at least 900 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 1: one time. One time serve on your service game. I 901 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: just think they should expand the grass season and make 902 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: it a whole thing. That's what I think. Yeah, well, 903 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,880 Speaker 1: you and I love the love the grass, so do 904 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 1: best are not against that best service? Service? 905 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,919 Speaker 2: Is that technically the same speed every week? So would 906 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 2: Zara be happy? Yeah, no, he'd be complaining as he 907 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 2: always does. Yeah, just give him something to complain about anyway. 908 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 2: All right, all right, guys, thanks so much. We're off 909 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 2: to dinner here in New York, and thanks joining us 910 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:22,399 Speaker 2: this week. 911 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 1: To you next week, you next week, babe,
