1
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: A.

2
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: Hi, everybody.

3
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Renee sab Sens Podcast, although I'm starting

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: to think we should just.

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: Call it the pot Tubsy Podcast.

6
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: Welcome to day what the hell day day even? Well,

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: no Day eight because we stay nine tomorrow. But as

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: we started on.

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: Sunday, should we kick talking at the same time?

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: It's day eight is now finished. It's day nine tomorrow.

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 3: But that's not true. It's we started on Sunday and

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 3: today Sunday. Those are seven days or am I crazy?

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: No? You're right? Okay, Look here's the bottom line.

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, We're going to get into what happened today

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: and what's happening in the background. I don't know if

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: you can hear it is still the med sorry, the

17
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: rube Lev demon Or match, which is.

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: For Love in the fifth.

19
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do our podcast because we have to

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: go to bed at some point, and we're gonna let

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: you know what happens in that match.

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 3: And just a little f yi from the side note,

23
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 3: it's for zero for rub Leff and the fifth. However,

24
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 3: he started to cramp exactly three points ago, so we

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: keep an eye on we'll see what happens.

26
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: All right, Let's start with the guys Novak six love

27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: six love six three six three Djokovic, I mean, are

28
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Like he made Manorino look like a

29
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: junior today. Although having said that, Manorino's played back to

30
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: back to back five set matches, the chances of him

31
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: doing anything of importance today against Novak was about zero

32
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: point zero percent, which is pretty much what we got.

33
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: But the worst part about that is it felt like

34
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,919
Speaker 3: he wasn't playing that bad. The first to say, true,

35
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 3: he just lacked that extra substance and he can't really

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: put away, you know, he doesn't have like a he

37
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: has to outplay the other guy.

38
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: And Novak didn't miss.

39
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: No, I didn't miss, He didn't miss, and he knows

40
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: what the guy's all about. Right, Oh my god, rube

41
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: Lev is redlining right now because he knows he's choking.

42
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: I mean not choking. The cramp is the choke of

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: the muscle, that's exactly right.

44
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: So anyway, so Novak looks absolutely incredible today, Like, you know,

45
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: he's still not one hundred percent. There's no question he

46
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: still has a call. He's talked about it. He sounds

47
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: like he's not one hundred percent. We've all heard him

48
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: in the interviews.

49
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: But having said that, absolutely flawless.

50
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 3: Well, and I remember yesterday at the podcast Wmer, I said,

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: I'm getting the feeling that he's aiming to peak in

52
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: the second week, which is incredible for me that.

53
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 2: You are that confident.

54
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 3: No confident, of course, but he can be confident, right,

55
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 3: but also that good that you that you know, I

56
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 3: can be at thirty forty percent for still we get

57
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 3: still in. And I asked him about this. I interviewed

58
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: him today and I asked him about this, and he said, yeah,

59
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 3: you're absolutely right.

60
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: Of course that's not a guarantee that I will win it.

61
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: But but if you decide to play Davis Cup at

62
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: the end of the year, it doesn't give you a

63
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: lot of time to recover your body. So you have

64
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: to make a compromise somewhere. And that was the compromise

65
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 3: he was he was willing to take. And I thought

66
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: there was like there was a fascinating insight into his planning.

67
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: You know how old he is comparative to Janick Sinner

68
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: because and we'll get into Yanick, but I interviewed Yanick

69
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: after he won today and Janick said he couldn't wait

70
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: to play again and he goes and I know, it's

71
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: only been a month and a half. I couldn't wait

72
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: to play again. I was like, oh my god, what

73
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: do you mean Yanick's Internet?

74
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yanick Cinterneta. But anyway, well we'll get into Yannick's match.

75
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: But Novak goes up now against Taylor Fritz, who just

76
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 1: played fantastic.

77
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god, since he.

78
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: Was so I don't think, and I've seen him win

79
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: Indian Welles like I saw all three matches of his

80
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: the quarters, semis and final, and I thought he played

81
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: so well there. But this is the best I've seen

82
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: him play. I think Taylor because he was coming to

83
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: the net at times, I know, And he was always

84
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: an amazing bass striker. He was always an incredible competitor,

85
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: but there was something extra today.

86
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean, you know, he and I've had

87
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: a couple of funny conversations of late about his inability

88
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: to want or his not inability, but his what's the word.

89
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to come into the net, he doesn't

90
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: want a volley, he doesn't trusty his resistance.

91
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: Thank you, my friend, who English is not your first lane,

92
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: that's my third leg. But you you're welcome speak better

93
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 2: English than me.

94
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: But his resistance to wanting to come into that it's

95
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: like the net is kryptonite to him. And I'm like,

96
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: if I had that forehand, and frankly, if you had

97
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: my volleys, you'd be really good, but he is, Or

98
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: if I had his forehand, I would have been good.

99
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: But but he just the fact that he's aware of

100
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: needing to come into the net. Because when you play

101
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: the players like Sits a pass, especially sits a pass

102
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: with his backhand, if you can come in on his backhand,

103
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: you're gonna win a lot of points. So if he's

104
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: less resistant to coming into the net and work on it.

105
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: And he first thing he said to me today when

106
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: I saw him, I say, well done, dude. You know

107
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, did you see me coming in? So

108
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: he's aware of it, knows And I said, listen, the more.

109
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: You do it, the more comfortable you become.

110
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: And you may miss some, but you will make more

111
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: than you miss if you keep coming in. And so

112
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: I think that's super important for him to keep coming

113
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 1: into the net, because you don't want to keep playing

114
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: five set matches that you're playing fifty ball rallies fucking crazy.

115
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: Well and with him. What I really liked it.

116
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 3: He stuck with it through the end of the match,

117
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: and the dividends paid off in the end. Sometimes when

118
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: you play a match, especially in a best of five,

119
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 3: you make tactical investments in the beginning stages of a match,

120
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 3: they payoff much later. They pay off in the most

121
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: stressful moments when the other one is feeling the pressure.

122
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: And today in the third set, and when it was

123
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 3: so close in the tiebreak, sorry not in the tiebreak,

124
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 3: when he was about to break, you could see Cypus

125
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: framing a few of those backhands because he knew, yes,

126
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 3: and I can't slice it, I have to hit it,

127
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 3: and that's the shot that goes.

128
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: That's right.

129
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: The dividends came back that Taylor invested in the beginning

130
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: stages of the match.

131
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: And he kept with it, and when he broke in

132
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: the fourth he came into the net and he actually

133
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: hit a couple of good volleys to break, and it

134
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: was just like there you go, bro. You know, the more,

135
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: as you said, the more you invest in coming in

136
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: and getting.

137
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: Better under pressure. I mean, Novak's a perfect example. Novak.

138
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: I would say it was a little resistant to coming

139
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: into the net. When he was younger. But he finishes

140
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: points at the net, and that's.

141
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: Important to finish, particularly when these guys all play so

142
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: good from the back of the court.

143
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: Oh my god, the men just save match points. So

144
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: that's my match point. It's five love.

145
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 3: It's he's not It wouldn't It wouldn't be that crazy

146
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 3: if Ruby Lev wasn't cramping.

147
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: True, but Ruble is cramping. So you're feeling like this

148
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: is good man.

149
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna have to have a full body cramp

150
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: for it not to happen. But anyway, so I was

151
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: super happy for Taylor. Look, Taylor played Novak very very

152
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: very well here a couple of years ago, in the

153
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: pandemic year.

154
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: It's eight and oh, just so I understand.

155
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: Yes, I get it, he played terrible at the US

156
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: Open against him, but I actually think that I don't

157
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: think he's going to beat him, but I think that

158
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: this is going to be a better match than we

159
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: certainly then we saw at the US Open. And I

160
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: think he feels good about playing him on Rod Labor.

161
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: He played him really tough a couple of years ago,

162
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: and there's no question he is a better player this

163
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: year than.

164
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: Even last year.

165
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: I really think that he's matured a lot over the

166
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: last couple of months, and he can't carry on like

167
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: a pork chop in this match. He has to keep

168
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: his shit together and use his big weapons and we'll see,

169
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: we'll see.

170
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: That's not gonna win.

171
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 3: But I do think that he needs and this is

172
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: I think a great challenge for him if he wants

173
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: to mature as a tennis player, and if he wants

174
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: to be dangerous and these Grand Slam tournaments, if he

175
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 3: wants to be dangerous to the best players in the

176
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 3: world right now, who are Novak and the others Novak

177
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: plus as I like to call the atp too Novak,

178
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: And he needs to add something to his game. So

179
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: this is an opportunity for him to bring a little

180
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 3: bit off dimension in his game, which he showed today.

181
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: So today was a great tailor, future tailor maybe on

182
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 3: the horizon.

183
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: And one thing he has added which I think everybody

184
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: can think Carlos Alchoraz for this is a drop four

185
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: hand drop shot because his forehand is so big that

186
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: people naturally start backing off and then he puts that

187
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: little inside out, very similar to Sinner as well.

188
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: His internet has added that as well.

189
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't make it as much as I mean, Carlos

190
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: is so good at it.

191
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: But what did you think of.

192
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 3: Stefanosity pass shadow jumping jack on match point? I saw

193
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: you had a tweet absolutely refuckingdiculous.

194
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: Is that a word? I just made a word up.

195
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: That was the most absolutely fucking ridiculous thing I've absolutely

196
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: ever seen on his tennis sport.

197
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I got a few people saying, it's a

198
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: bit of e.

199
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: What the fuck, dude, like, you hit a shit half folly,

200
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: it's in the air, try and win the.

201
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: First of all strange surf and volley And that wasn't

202
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 3: a great surf. It wasn't a great surf to come

203
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: in on. But even I know that then I never

204
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: played surf.

205
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: But but honestly, it would have been interesting if Taylor

206
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: had missed that shot. That was one hundred percent hindrance,

207
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: So if he'd lost the point. But they've called hindrance

208
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: because I'll tell you what, is it possible for them

209
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: to review that? I don't know, it's not possible. That

210
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: was only possible the US Open.

211
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 3: But here they don't have that rule and play, so

212
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 3: they couldn't have It would have been an.

213
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: Interesting situation because if I was Taylor and I lost

214
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: that point, I would be ropable to the umpire.

215
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: Well you, let's move on. You called Janick Centenet's match.

216
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: You were courtside, so you got the honor and privilege

217
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 3: of watching him up close. See the small little ginger

218
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: locks fly around. Maybe catch a little pearl of sweat.

219
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: I didn't get a whiff of his, didn't.

220
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: Get a filigerance.

221
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: Maybe can I tell you I didn't tell you this

222
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: this morning or last night when we did the pod

223
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 1: from last night, But when Medvedev won his match the

224
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: other yesterday, I was sitting directly across from him, like literally,

225
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: as soon as he sits down, the first person he

226
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: had to have seen.

227
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: Every time was me, because it was unavoidable. I thought

228
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: he looked a little bit unhappy during.

229
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: It's very possible now I listen. I love Meddie. He's

230
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: always very sweet and nice and funny. But when he

231
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: sat down when he won the match, he looked directly

232
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: at me.

233
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: And I was so happy that he won quickly because

234
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: I was.

235
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: So tired yesterday and I wanted to get out of there.

236
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: And I looked directly at him, and I gave a

237
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: thumbs up and I pointed at my watch and I laughed,

238
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: and I went and I put the thumbs up and

239
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: he started laughing.

240
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 2: It was really quite funny.

241
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: But anyway, Jannick Cinternet was just he was a little

242
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: patchy at the beginning.

243
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: He played current cutch enough. There was probably the strongest

244
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: opponent he had to face. It was in this tournament

245
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: and Ruble.

246
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: There you go.

247
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: Rublev wins the fifth set six love, so we'll get

248
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: to that match.

249
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: But Yannick was a little up and down. Didn't serve great.

250
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: It was only about fifty four percent him first serve percentage.

251
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 2: And I spoke to him a match. In the entire

252
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 2: match Windy, it was a little breezy.

253
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, it wasn't easy, but still that's not great

254
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: stats for him. And the first one of the things

255
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: that he said that he did not do well today's serf, so.

256
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: He's aware of that.

257
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: I think his ball tosk gets a little bit low,

258
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: so he doesn't get that wrist snap at the top

259
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: that he needed today, so he gets a long yeay,

260
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: he just gets a little bit fat on the bottom

261
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: of the racket string.

262
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: So I sometimes thought because I called all of his

263
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 3: matches when he won Toronto, where he played so well

264
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 3: it was his first master's one thousand ATP one thousand titles.

265
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 3: He sometimes keeps on the first serf, only he never

266
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 3: does it on the second serve. He has another thing

267
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: on the second serf sometimes, but on the first serve

268
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 3: he sometimes keeps his racket too long and then he yeah,

269
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: and when he gets it right, it's so perfect, but

270
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: it feels like it's one blink of an eye.

271
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,359
Speaker 2: And if he does it too long, he doesn't.

272
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: Get up on times, and then he hits it low

273
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: and then it flies a long.

274
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: Guess what which is why he needs to get his

275
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: racket his balltoss up a little higher because of the lag.

276
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: He needs it a little bit higher so the lag

277
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: can catch up and still get it at its highest point.

278
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: And I did, lag is l a G l A

279
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: G not jet lag, but lag meaning it's behind.

280
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a little labored getting up.

281
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: And so I actually talked to Darren Khle about it

282
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: after the match and I said to Darren, I just

283
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: feel like his bultos is too low on the first

284
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: serve and he goes, yeah, I know, it's the one

285
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: thing that we consistently try and get him to understanding.

286
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: So I said, well, you can tell him that Renee

287
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: said his boltos was too low on the first serve today, Well.

288
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 2: That's going to change. He will absolutely listen. Now I

289
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: believe that. I believe that.

290
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: I just want to say he didn't serve, well, he didn't.

291
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: He was a little patchy, he was shanking a few

292
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: four hands, he was missing, making unforcedaeros that he wouldn't

293
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: make normally. But he still managed to get the first

294
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: set he played and Hutchanov played an incredible point. It

295
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: was thirty three point shot rally fifteen thirty at five

296
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: all in the second and hutch Enough won the point

297
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: to go forty to fifteen on his serve and he

298
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, you know, was gesturing into.

299
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 2: The crowd after it.

300
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: It was an unbelievably taxing point. Yanick did not lose

301
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: a point after that point.

302
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: He broke serve.

303
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: He won four points in a row, and then he

304
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: won his serf to love and it was two sets

305
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: of love like that, And that is fitness level, That

306
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: is his capacity to play those really long points and

307
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: not get winded. And Hutchanov tried to pull the trigger

308
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: a little too early and the next two points, and

309
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: it was because he was still exhausted.

310
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 2: From the fifteen to forty points.

311
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: So for me, that shows Janick's fitness level is unbelievably high.

312
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: And also he.

313
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: He understood that that was a great point and not

314
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: to get down about it, and he has an amazing

315
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: ability to let go of shit quickly, and that to me,

316
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: he did not lose one point after that. And then

317
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: in the third set he was just too good. He

318
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: raised his level in the third set another level like

319
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen percent higher in the third set, And

320
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: he said to me after the match he was really

321
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: happy with the way finished because he did play very

322
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: very well. So I mean, just if you consider today

323
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: was tough for him, a tough match, that's how good

324
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: he's played in throughout the whole time. He's not getting

325
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: pushed at all.

326
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 3: Let's let's hear a little bit about Karten Yea, the

327
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 3: long lost Hamsworth brother.

328
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: H We have rediscovered him.

329
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 3: He's in Australia, he's playing at the Australian Open.

330
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: He's quite good.

331
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 3: How does he look to you? He was gone for

332
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: a while. Yeah, it looks t Yeah, nice.

333
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: I think it comes back to the fitness level. Just

334
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: wasn't quite there y I think because he's a big guy.

335
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: You know, he's about the same hight as Yannick, maybe

336
00:14:58,800 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: a little bit taller.

337
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: But he's just bigger.

338
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: And Yannick moves around the court with such effortless nimble.

339
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: He's so nimble.

340
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: He's very much like Novak, where he's so flexible. He

341
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: gets down so low to the ball. And there was

342
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: a couple of times today We're One of the things

343
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: that really hurt Karen was there was a bit of

344
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: wind down one end and if the ball was mid court,

345
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: and as you know, you've got to make a quick

346
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: decision to get up there and either hit it and

347
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: come in or hit it and get back. And Karen

348
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: was like a little bit unsure, and he hit it

349
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: long because the wind was behind him, whereas Yannick has

350
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: that whip on his forehander back end so he can

351
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: whip it better with the wind, and he gets.

352
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 2: So low to the ground. It's incredible for a guy

353
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: so tall.

354
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: Do you think it's interesting or what do you think

355
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: about it? Just in general, whether you think that's interesting

356
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 3: or not that the new successful body type on the

357
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: men's tour is a bit different than it was maybe

358
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: ten years ago. If we think of the flexible, Yeah,

359
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: because if you think of the guys, they were good.

360
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: I'm taking Federal and Erotic songa Birdish Del Potro, Del Potro.

361
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 3: Those were huge guys with a lot of muscle mass

362
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: who tend to get injured a lot. And now I

363
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 3: think Novak has really kind of revolutionized tennis the body

364
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: type for tennis where he's much lighter.

365
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: He's quite skinny, flexible, and Demona Medvedev obviously Yanik. So yeah,

366
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean you have to be you have to be

367
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,479
Speaker 1: able to run and slide and be nimble and flexible,

368
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: and you have to have unbelievably strong core and legs,

369
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: and tennis is are very very taxing sports. So Janick

370
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: Sinna now goes up against Rublev. The two ginger heads

371
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: are going to go at it. It's going to be awesome.

372
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: Can win a quarter final match?

373
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: Much more important question? Now, who has the better hair?

374
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 3: C Internet or Androi Rubyl.

375
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: I mean, look at this guy.

376
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: We're looking at Rublev on the court right now, and

377
00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: he he.

378
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: He has so much hair. It's unreal. He has so

379
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: much hair. He's also very peasty.

380
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: He's very pasty, and he's been in Australia and it

381
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I love him and I love the fact

382
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: that his shirt says play for the kids.

383
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 3: I think everyone loves him like there is literally he's

384
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 3: crazy and we love him for it.

385
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: So anyway, you've got crazy redhead against and look who's

386
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: interview and Jem Fier another ginger Heads, so I love

387
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: them anyway, that's going to be an incredible quarterfinal. And

388
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: of course Nick and Rublev and Novak and Taylor Fritz

389
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: so now side, Yes, Marta Kostuk wins over tim A Fever.

390
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 2: The qualifier, Marta won fairly comfortably. There's a few like gestures.

391
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: To Sandra up in the coaches box and losing her

392
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: mind again, but she pretty much won that fairly comfortably.

393
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: Today looked really good. I'm happy for her to get

394
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: through for her first quarterfinal. She got to I believe

395
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: the third round here as like a fifteen year old,

396
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: so she's like now old and read at like what

397
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: went exactly. So it's nice to see you get through.

398
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: And she's good enough to be in the situation. It's

399
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: not like like, oh, I'm shocked she's there. She's a

400
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: good player.

401
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: No, she's a very good player.

402
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 3: And she actually I talked to her after the match.

403
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 3: I interviewed her and she was playing with a lot

404
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 3: of variation today and she won twenty one out of

405
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 3: twenty nine net points.

406
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you would be very happy with that.

407
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 3: And I asked her about that variety in her game,

408
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 3: and she said that in the off season they've been

409
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 3: trying to put a bit more structure on it because

410
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: it felt to her sometimes she could hit all the

411
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 3: shots and she would sometimes try to do so, and

412
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: now they are trying to put a bit more structure

413
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: when to hit, when to change it up, and it

414
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 3: seems to be working really well for her. She's yes,

415
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: the jaw fell apart a little bit there, but.

416
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: Not as much as it did on the other side.

417
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 3: And she did beat because we sometimes forget because now

418
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: she beat Timo Fava and it was like, oh, that's

419
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 3: such a good jow. She did beat Alice Madtens, who's

420
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: playing a really good start of the seven six and

421
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 3: the third in a two hour fifty three.

422
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: Epic battle, epic battle, and that was Sakari's section.

423
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 3: That was Sacari section that fell apart, so she's there

424
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 3: for a reason, marta costume.

425
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: She's playing very very well.

426
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 3: I see a wall in front of her, because the

427
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 3: wall I saw play today, and the wall's name is Coco.

428
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 3: GoF Man, she was bloody good today. She was bloody

429
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 3: good and I hadn't seen she.

430
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: Was she bloody good or she's playing against the gold

431
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: that she should know absolutely crushing.

432
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 3: No, she was bloody, bloody good because I was sitting

433
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 3: court side, and I've never seen Coco play court side.

434
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: I've always watched her on screens, or I played with her,

435
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 3: I practiced with her. I've never seen her from the side.

436
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 3: And the thing that was so stunning to witness the

437
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 3: way she moves in and out of the court, and

438
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 3: the way she changes the margin above the net, the

439
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 3: height above the net, depending on where she's positioned in

440
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 3: the court.

441
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: I was like, man, this woman understands she's like no

442
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: other en. She's a teenager. Yeah, what in the world.

443
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 3: It took me sixteen years of studying this game meticulously

444
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 3: to get even to fifty percent of what she already possesses,

445
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 3: whether that is instinctively or because she consciously sees it.

446
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: But every time she was caught a bit behind the baseline, whoop,

447
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: a little spin, a little margin, gets back straight and

448
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: then Ben gets into it and goes and in the

449
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 3: second set beforehand.

450
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: Did a little bit, did go a little bit waywire?

451
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: I will waywire, waywire? Is that a word? Wayward? Wayward? Yeah, yeah, wayward.

452
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 3: And we are just seeing Katie Bolter hugging Alex Alex Demonar,

453
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 3: who looks very sad, and he played so well.

454
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard, this sport is so so it's brutal,

455
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: This sport is so brutal.

456
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, so Coco up against Costuk, so two young

457
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: guns going at it again. Women's tennis is it went

458
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: through a phase where it was only like the older

459
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: players that we're doing well. Now it feels like we're

460
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: back to like the back to the early nineties.

461
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great to see and talking about young players.

462
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 3: One of the youngest players that was still left in

463
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 3: the draw, the youngest player that was still left in

464
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 3: the draw, and she went out today against a very

465
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: good Barbara Krychikova. Especially in the first set, was horrible

466
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: from both players. It was it got it picked up,

467
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 3: it got so cold. They played on John Cane arena.

468
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: It was so windy, and both were playing absolutely terrible,

469
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 3: and they went off after the first set.

470
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: Both of them went off. That's how bad it was.

471
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: Even Oh, this is terrible. I think these people have

472
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: paid money to watch us.

473
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 3: Well, and they came back and I almost felt like

474
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 3: they both picked up the level. And I almost felt

475
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 3: like that was too Mira's statriment, because you know, when

476
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 3: you hit the ball cleaner, that's worse if you play

477
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 3: against Kriichikova because she has such incredible timing. So the

478
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 3: better Mirror played, the better Kretchikova played. And then it

479
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 3: just she was just physically done.

480
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: Mirror Andreva. She was fighting, she was chying, like sixteen.

481
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: You know, when she's four years from now, she will

482
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: no chance to lose a match like that because she'll

483
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: physically like Coco, and Coco was quite advanced athletically.

484
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: But when you think about where Coco was at sixteen,

485
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: very similar.

486
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: To Andrea Andreeva at some point, because Coca was still skinny,

487
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: but she was quick and all that sort of stuff.

488
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: But now she's becoming a woman, like she is so

489
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: strong Coco, and I think Andreaeva will also be maybe

490
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: not as strong as Coco.

491
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: But certainly as quick. She's fast and endurance, and she

492
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: will have very great and endurance. Hassa.

493
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: She's going to be She's going to be less dramatic, yeah,

494
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: less carry on, less, you know, yelling at the box

495
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: and all that and carrying on like a bit of

496
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: a pop chop. She's going to be really fucking good

497
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: in a year or two. She already is really good.

498
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: Krijikoba managed to find a way.

499
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 3: And the last said she played so well, and I

500
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 3: have to say what she is and I have to

501
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 3: say one thing, and I was so impressed by her.

502
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 3: She kept running to the net in the second set,

503
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 3: and she was not making one point to the extent

504
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 3: that I said on air, I was court sized to

505
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 3: I was like, is.

506
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: This the right game plan here? Because just what are

507
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 2: we critical?

508
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: Because she was not winning one point, but she kept

509
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: backing herself and all of the sudden she figured it

510
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: out and she didn't lose a point at the net

511
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: in the second half of the second set and the

512
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 3: third at all anymore. And I was like, Okay, she

513
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: understands what she's doing. She lost to mire Andreva twice

514
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 3: before already, so she was going to and had to

515
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 3: head and I guess she had put her She tried

516
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 3: in the first set to do what she's always done,

517
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: went out and was like, this is not working.

518
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: I've lost five sets in a row. Now what I

519
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 2: gotta do?

520
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 3: What do I have to change and to do to

521
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 3: get a wig exactly? And so she came back, changed

522
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 3: the game plan and even though it wasn't working, she

523
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 3: backed herself.

524
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: It paid off and now.

525
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: She's got a nice little match up against Arena Sebalanka.

526
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 2: The playoffs to the tournament so far, she was.

527
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: I want to say, Amanda Anissamova, what a great time

528
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: nament she had. She's come back, what is second tournament

529
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: that she's been back for since like seven months.

530
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: Incredible tournament that she had.

531
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: She beat some really really good players on the way,

532
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: but today it was the first time where she walked

533
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: on the court and she was not happy. She looked stressed,

534
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: She looked like the expectation actually got to her because

535
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 1: she was four and one against Sablenka, and you know

536
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: she was asked about that six bazillion times in pract Well,

537
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: you know you were, you're four and one against Sablenka.

538
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: You know you have a winning record against Sabolenka.

539
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: I e.

540
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: You know, you're supposed to win this match now, and

541
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: all of a sudden You're like, wait a second, I'm

542
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: not prepared to win this match right now.

543
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 2: I'm not prepared to be the favorite.

544
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm prepared to come out like I have in every

545
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: other match and been the underdog and smoked people. And

546
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it was like, I'm not to

547
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: be supposed to be the favorite and smoke this girl.

548
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 2: She's the number two player in the world, and the.

549
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: Former defense is she's the defending champion, and I think

550
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: it all just got too much for her because she

551
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: was not happy in the first three or four games.

552
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: She looked a little bit miserable, to put.

553
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: It mildly, and then throughout the whole match, she was

554
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: throwing a racket, she was complaining about the rain, she

555
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: wanted the roof close, she was like bitching about She

556
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: all normal when you know what that feeling is like

557
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: to be the not be the favorite, but to have

558
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: a lot of expectation to play a.

559
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 3: Great match, well interestingly win. Yeah, it was similar with

560
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 3: mi Andreva. She had that a little bit first time, yes,

561
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 3: because she was, as I said, too old, had to

562
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: have that against Kurtikova, and it just seemed like she expected.

563
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: Herself to win this, like, yeah, I won against her

564
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 2: a twire, Yeah I'm actually the favorite. Yes I should,

565
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: I should win this. And also Barbora hasn't.

566
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: She's played herself back into the top ten, but she

567
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 3: hasn't played as well as we've been used from her

568
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 3: from the for the past in the last season.

569
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: So Amanda just she made so many unforced eerrs at

570
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: the beginning of the match. You could tell she was

571
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: so frustrated. She was like, I can't make At one

572
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: point she turned around to Mark Lecero.

573
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: Her coach, and was like, I can't make anything. And

574
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 2: you know, the shame about it is if she just

575
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 2: sort of being calmer, I'm sure she would have played

576
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 2: better and been right into it.

577
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: But Sabalanka just she's too experienced now to let anything

578
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: affect her and she won fairly comfortably in the end.

579
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: But nice to see Amanda Anissimova get back.

580
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 3: So the last player we will talk about, because we

581
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: have them all, it's going to get shorter and shorter,

582
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 3: but we are talking longer and longer, so we make

583
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,239
Speaker 3: it work. We make it work the life balances are

584
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: but Arena Sabalanka has looked the best so far at.

585
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 2: The Ostianne opened. There's no doubt about it.

586
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: Absolutely and you know with you know, top seeds dropping

587
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: left and right, and the other side of the women's

588
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: draw is so decimated, not decimated. I don't want to

589
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to know say that there's not great

590
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: players in there. There's the Suitelena's, but there is nobody

591
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: other than other than as a ranker in that section

592
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: of the drawer. It's been to a final of a

593
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: Grand Slam. Okay, think about that. The killing sky is

594
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: the Noskovas, the Yastremskers, Pauolini, Kinwin Jay.

595
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 2: And Chin Chin.

596
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: When if I get like, if I say the wrong way,

597
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: Caitlin's gonna never ever talk to me again.

598
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,959
Speaker 2: Shin went jang technically a jung went thank you?

599
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: Okay, And I mean, what do I know, right German

600
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: slash Serbian slash English?

601
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 2: What do I know? You say better than I do?

602
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: But listen anyway, Jinuin Chang is a player that I

603
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: think can.

604
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 2: Get to the semis.

605
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: But listen, here's the deal, guys, We're getting to the

606
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: nuts and bolts of this tournament. We appreciate you listening

607
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: to us. It is almost midnight again here in Melbourne.

608

Speaker 3: I can't believe you forgot to mention that tomorrow the

609
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 3: most important match of the tournament.

610
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 2: Oh that's right.

611
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: Let me say if you have a streaming service, you

612
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: get to see Petco play at eleven o'clock local time,

613
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,119

614

Speaker 1: John John Caine Arena at eleven o'clock. This is why

615
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: if you follow Melbourne, Melbourne is being shut down because

616
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: the Queen has finally arrived. If you saw my Instagram

617
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: story from yesterday, she's been working out.

618
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 2: I have been drinking beer and she's been working out,

619
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 2: so it's going to be very embarrassing.
