1 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast. Caitlin 2 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: and I have finally figured out how to talk to 3 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: each other on the other side of the world and 4 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: make the audio decent, and we know that our listeners 5 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: appreciate this. But what a couple of weeks we've had, Caitlyn. 6 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: I am currently in Greece, and I'm not sad about it. 7 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 1: It's been a long month or so and I thought 8 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: i'd take myself out for a few days enjoy the beach. 9 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: And you are currently still in New York. 10 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: I am in New York. 11 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 3: I did get a chance to get away to the 12 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 3: Hamptons this weekend, where I played in the championships at 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,919 Speaker 3: wimbled Dawn my friend dance tennis tournament on grass for 14 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 3: her birthday, which was amazing. I won it with my 15 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 3: son Peter. But it was a far cry from Southwest nineteen, 16 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 3: which is where you were for quite a while. So 17 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 3: take us there. It's been a week since we chatted. 18 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 3: You played the Legends, I saw some tweeers and I 19 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 3: did some incredible pyrotechnics on the court from you. What 20 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 3: was it like being there this year? 21 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,919 Speaker 1: Hot? Real hot? You know? I don't know about you guys, 22 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: if you've ever been to London or England in general. 23 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: But it's not built for the heat. There's these things 24 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: called air conditioners. They don't really exist there. We had 25 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: to have some brought into our apartment. So it was 26 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: very hot. But we'll take it because it's synonymous with 27 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: bad weather and rain, so we'll take the heat over 28 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: that any day. It was in the mid thirties, which 29 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: is like above lest like ninety five degrees pretty much 30 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: every day, high nineties almost every day. It was really 31 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: really hot for the players, so us oldies, we were flaking, 32 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: some of us. But I will say this, Richard Krychek, 33 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: who I played against in the Mix, who of course 34 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: won the singles many many years ago, had open heart 35 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: surgery about sometime last year at the end of last year, 36 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: and he played in the Mix this year, and it 37 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: was an absolute joy to obviously see him alive and 38 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: thriving and out back on the tennis court. And we know, 39 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: obviously he had such an amazing career and a winner 40 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 1: of the Wembledon title, so it was nice to play 41 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: against him, you know, somebody that is about my age, 42 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: and so to see him out there doing great things, 43 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: but we got absolutely smoked by Tommy Hassen Martina Hingis, who, 44 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: without a doubt should just still be playing in the 45 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: main draw of the mixed doubles, if not the singles 46 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: for the both of them, because they're both in unbelievable 47 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: shape and they hit the ball. They never didn't miss 48 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: a ball, and we were like we are long time retired, 49 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: me and Fabrie Sontro. We are fun. We can volley, 50 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: but you know, the standard was a little too high 51 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: for us in the first match. But having said all that, 52 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: it's such a delight to constantly go back every year. 53 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: I'm so lucky. I'm so grateful that the All Engld 54 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: Club invites me back to play in the Invitational, and 55 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: please do it again next year. I know that I'm 56 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: going to get aged out at some point, but until 57 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: that happens, I just I love being out in the courts, 58 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: and yeah, it's all always a great experience. But that aside, 59 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: let's get into the main part of why we're here, 60 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: which is talk about the two champions and what they 61 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: were able to accomplish. And there's just so many storylines, 62 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: there's so many, so many matches that I want to 63 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: talk about. Clearly, we spoke about the first week of 64 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: the tournament when we spoke, but Caitlin just overall, I mean, 65 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: where do you even want to start. Let's start with 66 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: the ladies. I guess the semi final match with Mahovah 67 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: and Coco. Incredible third set, just drama filled. 68 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: I love that matchup. I think it's a really interesting 69 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 3: contrast in styles. Obviously, as anyone who listens to the 70 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 3: show knows, we are massive Carolina Mahova fans in addition 71 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: to being of course massive Cocoa gart fans. And you know, 72 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: Mukova plays the most complete style of tennis on the 73 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 3: women's tour, and she has basically since the abdication. Maybe 74 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 3: you could say of ash body a couple of years ago. 75 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: She's got all the tools, she's got slice, she's got 76 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: an incredible net game. We saw her play very brave. 77 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 3: There was a diving volley at one point in that 78 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: third set tiebreak. You know, a lot of people, I 79 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: think a little disappointed that Coco didn't go through to 80 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 3: the finals. For me, I was kind of shocked. She 81 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 3: made it this far in a good way, and I 82 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 3: thought she battled and played great and I liked that 83 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 3: she went for the dropper on match point, even though 84 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 3: she didn't get it, because you got to play bold 85 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 3: tennis to win a championship match, and and you know, 86 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 3: I think she could definitely hold her head high, you know, 87 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 3: after this Fortnite. So for me, that probably was the 88 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 3: match of the tournament, just because it had the best storyline, 89 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 3: It had the best contrast, it had the most dramatic moments. 90 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: But I also wasn't really mad at the final. I 91 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 3: thought it delivered in a pretty holistic way, even though 92 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: I was not terribly surprised that Noskova had had more 93 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 3: game than Mukova did. 94 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, there was so many great matchups 95 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: in that half of the draw up the top with 96 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,559 Speaker 1: the women's right. You know, I spoke about pagoul I thought, 97 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,239 Speaker 1: you know, had a real chance to win the tournament, 98 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: and she went out with a little bit of a 99 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: surprise to Cocoa Golf. As you said, Caitlin, you know, 100 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: I think even Coco even though she was disappointed to 101 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: lose that semi final, having match point and oh what 102 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: a match point, which I'm going to get to after this, 103 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: and I'm shocked. You said you were surprised and happy 104 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: to see her go for a drop shot that is 105 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,239 Speaker 1: definitely not the shot I would have chosen on that shot. 106 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: But having said that, you know, her getting through and 107 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: beating Pagola in three sets after losing the first set 108 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: from me was a great sort of indicator for her 109 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: to once again just get through matches when it doesn't 110 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: look like she's going to do it right. Like everyone 111 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: predicted that Pegoula would probably beat her on a grass court. 112 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: Pegoula comes in playing well on grass, Coco hadn't had 113 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: the results and you know, to lose a first set, 114 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: and she definitely stepped it up. She did not miss 115 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: a lot of fourhands, she was very aggressive on the 116 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: serve and her nerves held up when it counted against Pegoula. 117 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: And then of course subsequently we see the match up 118 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: with Mukhova, after Muhova you know, takes out Osaka. So 119 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: everyone was sort of thinking that maybe Osaka, after being Sabalalnka, 120 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: would be the one, and she's had all the experience 121 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: and winning major titles and is this the year she's 122 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: going to maybe get to a final of Wimbledon. Finally, nope, 123 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: she gets to take out by Macova in a great 124 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: match from Mukhova. I mean that was for me, you know, 125 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: arguably sort of the big match up to see if 126 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: Muhovah could step up to the big time in these 127 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: moments and to beat her in straight sets at first 128 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: set tiebreak, I think, sort of let everyone know, Okay, 129 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: I'm I'm the player to beat in this section of 130 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: the draw. Maybe, But there were so many great storylines 131 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: up the hulf of that draw with Mokhovah, with Osaka, 132 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: with Pulgoula, with Gough and then of course GoF and 133 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: Muhova gets to the semi final and that semi final. 134 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I can tell you, Caitlin, there was not 135 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: going to be a loser in that match because they 136 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: are both so respected and so liked with Coco and 137 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: with Carolina. But the people watching that match outside of 138 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: the center court in the players area were losing their 139 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: minds watching that match. I mean I was sitting behind 140 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: you know, I was sitting in front of Fabrie Santro, 141 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: and I was like every player you can imagine was 142 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: sitting there watching this match. It was clapping going on. 143 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: There was like unbelievable moments where people couldn't believe it. 144 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: And of course that dropshot that Coco attempted to hit 145 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: on match point. The thing that I think about there 146 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: is the drop shot had worked pretty well for her 147 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: in the match because she was surprising Mukhova, who kind 148 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: of wasn't expecting to be moved forward. But I'm quite 149 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: certain that if Coca go back and hit that forehand 150 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: inside out, down the line and come into the net 151 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: where she had been so successful in the match, she 152 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: would do that again. That was an ill advised time 153 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: to hit that drop shot, only because Caitlin if she'd 154 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: hit it over, which she won the point eighty percent 155 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: of the time, probably, But you don't have the feel 156 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: on that point like that. It's so hard to hit 157 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: a drop shot when you are absolutely shitting your hand, 158 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: shitting yourself. And that was the time not to try 159 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: and go for it because it was such a big point. 160 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: Hitting it would have just been better. But you never know, 161 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: You'll never know it didn't go over. 162 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. 163 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 3: I think, regardless of what kind of fourhand she hits 164 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 3: on that shot, does she have a better shot at 165 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 3: winning Wimbledon against Linda and Naskova. 166 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 2: I think she does. I actually think she wins that 167 00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: match up. 168 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an interesting way of thinking about it. You know, 169 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: Coco has the ability to sort of frustrate those types 170 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: of players. And by those types of players, I mean 171 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: big hitters, right, big ball strikers that sort of rely 172 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: on I wouldn't say they rely on short balls, and 173 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: they rely on hitting winners. Coco is the epitome of 174 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: getting one more ball back in the court. And so 175 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: if Miskova had gotten a little tight, which she clearly 176 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: did in the second set, is Coco the type of 177 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: player that would frustrate and probably beat Linda Noskova. Maybe, 178 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: But you know, I hate speculating on that because we'll 179 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: never know, because Linda Noskova could have stepped up and 180 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: absolutely pummeled Coco second serve. She could have pummeled the 181 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: ball to her forehand. She could have got short ball 182 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: after short ball on that side. You just never know. 183 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: Because Moscova also possesses a game that Coco doesn't necessarily 184 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: like if she's on, which is hitting the ball huge. 185 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,359 Speaker 1: So it's kind of like a double edged sword. If 186 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: Moskova gets a little tight, yes, Coco is the biggest 187 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: nightmare for her. But you know Coco might lay an 188 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: egg as well and not hit the ball well enough 189 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: in Nosco could hit her off the court like Yu 190 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: Stremskit did last year. So I don't know. As I said, 191 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: I hate speculating. What I saw was a terrific final 192 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: in the end. 193 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I really hope we see more of Mukhova. I 194 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 3: think a lot of us were super excited to see 195 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 3: her get to the final of the French A couple 196 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 3: of years ago. She lost the Yagis Schwantek and a 197 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: pretty nervy, not super confident performance. I was delighted that 198 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 3: she settled in played brave. Obviously, Noscova got a little 199 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 3: tight in that second set after kind of storming out 200 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 3: to a six' to two what was it five to two, 201 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: LEAD i mean it looked like it was going real 202 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 3: fast and things were pretty doom and gloom over On mukhova's, 203 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 3: side and then she kind of kept chipping. Away they 204 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 3: had a really long game or two right at five 205 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 3: two and five to, three and THEN i was just 206 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 3: really excited to see the caliber of the exchanges and 207 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 3: the rallies get. Better the points were more thoughtfully. Constructed 208 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 3: it looked, like you, know we'd sort of settled. IN 209 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 3: i would love to use this opportunity to SAY i 210 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 3: really do, wish and we've talked about, it you, know 211 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 3: from time to. TIME i really do wish the women 212 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 3: would play best of five in these last couple of, 213 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 3: matches just BECAUSE i think we'd get a higher caliber. 214 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 3: Final we'd get a guaranteed sort of contrast in dynamics 215 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 3: a lot of times in these. Finals and we saw 216 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 3: it obviously last year with Amandais, sumova who was just 217 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 3: totally overwhelmed by the moment and didn't get a. Game you, 218 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 3: know they happened too. QUICK i was very thankful this 219 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 3: went three AND i thought we got a quality. Final 220 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: BUT i really do think at this point nobody plays 221 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 3: best of five in week. One maybe everybody plays best 222 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 3: of five from let's say the quarters on or maybe the. 223 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 3: SEMISON i think that that's a good way to address 224 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 3: a lot of these parody for pay, conversations AND i 225 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 3: think it's a good way to make sure that we, 226 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 3: get you, know we get high caliber finals. 227 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: Matches what do you think about? 228 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: That, WELL i don't know who it was that brought this, 229 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: up BUT i think maybe a great mixture of that 230 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: BECAUSE i don't agree with, that because, listen you And 231 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: i've been talking about getting rid of best of five. 232 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: FOREVER i think a sort of a balance of that 233 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: could be best of four if it goes two, sets 234 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: or we play a ten point, tiebreak which is basically 235 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: the same. 236 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 3: Thing, anyway you're just throwing in a entirely new format 237 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 3: that nobody plays on any tour or. 238 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 2: WHATSOEVER i love. That. 239 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: YEAH i, mean if we're talking about women's, tennis and 240 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: no offense to the women or the, men the women 241 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: are going to be playing longer. MATCHES i just feel 242 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: like they will play longer matches because they don't have 243 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: the big. SERVES i, mean you saw the men's they're 244 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: playing long rallies now as, well but they do have huge, 245 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: serves and they win a lot of points on their, 246 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: serves particularly on. Grass but you know you're not going 247 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: to see that quick of a point all the. Time 248 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: it's certainly not going to see it on. Clay with the, 249 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: guys they're going to be playing forty ball rallies every single. 250 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: Time SO i just think that if we're going to 251 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: do it for, both let's do it for. Both let's 252 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: do it two sets to all in a ten tipe. 253 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: BREAK i, mean what's the difference when someone, says, well come, 254 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: on that's sold on a. Second you, know we don't 255 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: want to finish a match with a ten point we 256 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: do if it gets to six. All at every major 257 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: in the fifth set we play a ten point type. 258 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: Break so what's the difference instead of making everyone go 259 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: through another? Set Which i'm at tennis. PURISTS i love watching. 260 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: TENNIS i love watching great, tennis BUT i don't want 261 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: to see it for five hours and fifteen minutes like 262 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: we had to for the quarterfinals With novak And, faa 263 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: and arguably that Fucks. Novak for the next match Against, 264 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: sinner he was. DEAD i, Mean yannick played the most 265 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: perfect match in the semifinal Against. NOVAK i was, THERE 266 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: i was, LIVE i watched, IT i watched it in, 267 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: person And novak just was a step slow and? Everything, 268 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: now is? It because he thirty? 269 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: Seven? 270 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: Probably Is yanik the best player in the world when he's. On, 271 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: Probably but if it goes five and a half, hours 272 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: if he doesn't go five and a half hours in 273 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: the previous match and it goes maybe four, hours does 274 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: he have a little bit extra in his? Tank probably 275 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: two days. Later SO i don't. KNOW i think that 276 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: there's one way to get around this and we can 277 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: satisfy everybody from the. SEMIS i would like to see quarters, 278 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: maybe But semi's. On you play best of, five and 279 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: you play best of four with a ten point. Tiebreak 280 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: what's the. Difference what a great culmination of four amazing 281 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 1: sets to? Go, okay here we, go let's go ten 282 00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: points for the. 283 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 3: MATCH i, mean you, KNOW i like an incredibly pointy 284 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 3: end of a, match AND i think a tie break 285 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 3: is a fun way to do. It AND i think 286 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 3: that's Why mukova And goff's tie break was so. EXCITING 287 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 3: i do want to shout out a couple of other 288 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 3: really great.

HERE i think THAT i don't 338 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: think her, team she or anyone in the tennis world 339 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: is super panicked about that, yet because is she the 340 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: favorite still going Into cincinnati and you, Know toronto and 341 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: whatever she chooses to play on the hard court and 342 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: of course THE Us. Open, yes there are some questions 343 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: to be answered on her from her when it comes 344 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: to having not won a major title this year as 345 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: a number one player in the, world and so there's 346 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of pressure on her shoulders 347 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: to be able to do that at THE Us. Open so, 348 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: yeah so we'll see how she comes back from this 349 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: little trip To greece and reinvents her game a little 350 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: bit on the hard. Court but those questions certainly need 351 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: to be. Answered, Yeah so let's take a little, break come, 352 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: back and we're going to talk about The fellers when 353 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: we get back up and. Break, Okay, So, caitlin you, 354 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: know we were pretty enamored with the women's.

Final AND i also may have said that 359 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: the person that comes through that section will maybe, win 360 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: because whoever comes through the top half of the, draw 361 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: you never see the person that comes through the toughest 362 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: part almost win the. Tournament it happens so much and 363 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: So but on the men's, side arguably the toughest section 364 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: was won by the best player in the, world which 365 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: Was Anik sinner who went. Through of Course Novak, djokovic 366 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: who we all thought was probably the one player that 367 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: maybe had the mental capacity and the game to win on. 368 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: Grass but a little shout out to our Little Arthur. 369 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: FAIRY i, mean come, on this guy grows up In 370 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: wimbledon five ten minutes from the tennis courts and makes 371 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: the semi finals Of wimbledon and beat some pretty incredible, 372 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: players including of Course Grigor, dimitrov who probably would like 373 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: to have that match back after being up a break 374 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: in the fourth set, twice not, once but, twice and 375 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: didn't cause out that set and ended up losing in five. 376 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: Sets and then he just Smokes koboli in the, quarters 377 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: and then you, know just came up against a buzzsaw In, 378 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: zverev who really played well in this. Tournament right through 379 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: to the, final but a little shout out To. Ferry 380 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: his ranking is going to shoot, up AND i doubt 381 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: he's going to need a wild card Into wimbledon for 382 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 1: a very long time after that. 383 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 2: Performance do you think we'll be Seeing Arthur? 384 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: Faery, yeah he kind of reminds me of A Sebastian 385 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: grojon or like A fabrice Soun. Toy he kind of 386 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: reminds me of A french, player because maybe because it's 387 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: the fact that he's, little AND i played Against grojeon 388 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: in the last match of my invitation AND i played 389 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: With fabrees. 390 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 2: In my fairy is Also, french so that's probably. 391 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: Why well there you. Go and Also Arnold colomont remember, 392 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: Him so he kind of reminds me of those. Players 393 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: not a lot of, firepower very strategically smart on the, 394 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: court very good player on, grass knows how to come 395 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: into the, net beautiful, volleyer great, anticipator pretty good surve 396 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: for his height and how much are we going to? 397 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: SEE i think he can make like a third or 398 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: fourth round of THE Us open if he plays really. 399 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: WELL i don't think he's going to make another semi 400 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: final of A Grand slam unless he does it again 401 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: At wimbledon because he has the support of the. Crowd but, 402 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: yeah that was a really, fun sort of interesting, story 403 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: and of course The brits will losing their mind over. 404 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: Here The World cup was sort of still taking precedent over, 405 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: anything but the fact That fairy made The samis was 406 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: pretty pretty great.

DIMINISHED i think you're. 411 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 3: RIGHT i don't think he brought his. LEGS i think 412 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 3: he was, done and you, Know center sent him off 413 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 3: in strade. SETS i do think we have a major 414 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 3: charisma problem on the men's tour When Carlos alkarez is 415 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 3: not playing. Tennis maybe it's BECAUSE i talk with more 416 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 3: casual fans who are a little disappointed to see somebody 417 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 3: like Alex verev who's a major step. Down although to your, 418 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 3: point he played a great tournament and he's certainly. Improved 419 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 3: he's hitting harder, serves he's hitting more accurate, serves he's 420 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 3: hitting harder four. Hands he's not you, know he's not 421 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 3: as passive on porn, construction but, YEAH i mean it's 422 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 3: it's not, close certainly in the, charisma but also in 423 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 3: the in the skill. Set so you, know Alex verev 424 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 3: getting through nobody seated in the top ten to get 425 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 3: to the final was sort of like this. 426 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: Gay, YEAH i. KNOW i mean the semi final With 427 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: novak would have been. GREAT i think If novak had 428 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 1: had his, LEGS i think it would HAVE i Think 429 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: yanick would have still. Won and AS i, SAID i 430 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: was there actually watching that. MATCH i had a great, 431 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: seat SO i could really see the sort of accuracy 432 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: of the shot, making the serving Of. Yannick AND i 433 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: did bump Into yanick the day before AND i watched 434 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: him practice the day before and he served like thirty 435 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: to thirty to thirty five at least minutes of. SERVING 436 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: i think more like forty minutes of, serving AND i just, thought, 437 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: oh you, know and he does serve a. LIGHT i 438 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: did bump Into Darren kyle and he just said that 439 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: he does serve a light in practice and you can 440 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: see the he's reaping the benefits of those of that practice. 441 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: Session AND i always, say you play how you, practice 442 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 1: and if you think you can hit ten minutes of 443 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: serves and go out there and serve. Perfectly you are. 444 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: Not it's not going to happen unless Maybe Pete sampras 445 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: was that type of guy that could be a little 446 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: bit more sort of loose and go after. It But 447 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: yanick's and this, tournament and WHEN i bumped into him 448 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: after the, PRACTICE i sort of mentioned that and he, 449 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: SAID i got. IT i, said how are you? Feeling 450 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: and he, SAID i feel great after my practice. Today 451 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: and that's an ominous sign because you could argue to 452 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: say that he wasn't playing great tennis coming into the. 453 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: Semifinals he was a little. Patchy he didn't look SUPER 454 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: i don't, know comfortable on the, court especially after going 455 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: five sets in the first set in the first, match 456 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: and he just looked a little. Unsure everyone was constantly 457 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: worrying about the heat and is he going to be 458 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: able to handle the heat? Again and he gets into 459 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: that semi, Final, Caitlin oh my. God Like i'm looking 460 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: at the stats from the match Against, djokovic sixteen aces 461 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: against arguably the greatest returner of all. Time he didn't 462 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: serve a high, percentage but every time he got his 463 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: first serve in he won eighty eight percent of his 464 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: first serves and he won sixty one percent of his second. 465 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: Serves that is just ridiculous. Serving and when you look 466 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: at someone Like, novak he won seventy six of his first, 467 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: serves which is pretty, good and thirty four percent only 468 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: on second. SERVES i mean that means That yanick is 469 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: just crushing his second serve and that is a sign 470 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: sometimes of the legs not being. There and just to, 471 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: illustrate why three of thirteen, breakpoints that's how many he 472 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: had thirteen breakpoints On novak and he broke him three. 473 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: Times novak had one break point one the whole, match 474 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: as Did Alex verreth one. Breakpoint that to me just 475 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: shows a guy who steps up and stepping up to 476 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: the line in these big matches on a fast surface 477 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: like a hard court and a grass And yannick is 478 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: dominating with his. SERF i, mean the guy is just 479 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: phenomenal when he gets at first serve in the. Court 480 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: you know when he's at his. Best he's just incredible 481 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: to watch as a tennis.

All zvereb, did, Right so when you 504 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 1: look at like the winners to unforced, errors you, know 505 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: his unforced errors in the first, set for, example were twenty, five, 506 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: Right azveres were forty. Five zvera was going for a. 507 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: Lot AND i would argue and say That zvereb won 508 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: the big points in the tie break and that was 509 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: really the only. Difference you, Know sinner had more breakpoint, 510 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: opportunities all the, things But vereb give him. Credit and 511 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: one of the things THAT i was, Like, oh could 512 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: this be the day on set point he ripped his 513 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: forehand when he had an opportunity to rip a, Foehand 514 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: zverev ripped the, forehand AND i, thought, wow is this 515 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: a New? Zverev because after winning the franch he comes 516 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: in and he knows the biggest issue for him is 517 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: hitting the forehand under, pressure, Right and SO i would 518 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: argue and say That sinners didn't really drop off his 519 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: level at. All his level stayed the. Same in actual, 520 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: fact if you look at the, stats every set he 521 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: got better And zverev got. Worse, Right but the one 522 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: point WHERE i knew it was over was the first 523 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: point of the tie break in the second, Set and 524 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: we knew how big that second set. Was If vera 525 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: goes up two sets to, love you never, Know, Caitlin 526 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: you never. Know, instead the first point he hits a 527 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: forehand and misses it by a, mile AND i was 528 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: and it was a mini break in the tie, break 529 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: which is you, know can come. Back but as soon 530 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 1: as he missed that, FOREHAND i, went that's. It that's, 531 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: it because that's the shot that if he makes and 532 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: he's confident, with it's the shot That yannick, goes holy, 533 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: shit where away go because you can see as the 534 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: match went, on every big point he went to the 535 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: forehand and he got either errors or a short ball 536 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: or whatever when he as soon as he shanked or 537 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: missed that, FOREHAND i was, like that's. It the match is, 538 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,479 Speaker 1: over because that's the time where great players don't make 539 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: the dum make the bad. Errors and that's when he 540 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: made the first bad error on a really big, point 541 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: AND i thought that's, it And yannick ran away with the. 542 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: Tiebreak and as soon as he won that tie, break 543 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: it was a different level From, yannick and it was 544 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: an obvious level of what we used to From zverev 545 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: against the great players Like sinner And, alcarez and that 546 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: was a difference maker and that's not going to change 547 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 1: until he can hit that forehand when it really, matters 548 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: not just on set point when he lost his mind 549 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: when he won the first, set and remembery he turned 550 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: around to his players box and he was, like come, 551 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: on and it was like it was so over the. 552 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: TOP i was, like, dude you got two more sets 553 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: to win against the best player in the. World calm. 554 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: Down AND i just thought he felt like the. Tournament 555 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: he was going to win it after that, set AND 556 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: i was, like. No as soon as he mis set 557 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: fourhand and the second set, tiebreak that was. 558 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 2: It i'm glad he. 559 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 3: Didn't i'm glad sinner, one And i'm very very excited 560 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 3: about WHAT i hope will.

Stuff AND 825 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: i have listened to other sports WHERE i have found 826 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 1: certain commentators are so great to listen, to and they 827 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: were not great. PLAYERS i didn't win multiple world championships 828 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: or MULTIPLE wnba titles OR nba titles or even a 829 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 1: title at, all but they are also my favorite. Commentators 830 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: and SO i think, that, YEAH i think that one 831 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: thing that you AND i have always talked about that 832 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 1: it doesn't just because you're a great name doesn't mean 833 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: you're a great. Commentator and so you, Know i'm not 834 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: going to mention any. Names i'm not going to mention 835 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 1: any specific networks or. Anything but that's the thing THAT 836 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 1: i just would like that all networks, realize you, know 837 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,760 Speaker 1: when you sit down and you, listen is it the best. 838 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: Listen are you learning the most from this? Person are? 839 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,959 Speaker 1: You are they pronouncing the names? Correctly are they getting 840 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 1: the sport? Right this is the key WHEN i sit 841 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: and watch a. Match if you're a, layman If i'm, 842 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,840 Speaker 1: obviously If i'm watching, Tennis i'm a a, tech you, 843 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,919 Speaker 1: know quote unquote an, expert, right SO i see things 844 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 1: very differently to you, KNOW i see things differently to. 845 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,920 Speaker 1: YOU i see differently to somebody who played recreational, tennis for, 846 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:35,399 Speaker 1: example are you going away from that match learning more 847 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: about that player and that match and the? Sport and 848 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: if you are learning more every time you listen to 849 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 1: somebody in their, commentary that's a good. Commentator and SO 850 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 1: i think that's the, key and when to pull back 851 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 1: and when not to. Talk certainly we get told all 852 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: the time by a, producer for, example let the pictures 853 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 1: tell the. Story you, know you don't need to, Overtalk 854 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 1: you don't need to tell us too much in these. 855 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: Moments let the pictures tell the. Story, sometimes let the 856 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: noise tell, Them let the crowd tell a. Story and 857 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: SO i think that's the one thing THAT i would 858 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: like to get. Across so whoever's doing that bravo to, 859 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: them and the ones that are, not they're the ones 860 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:10,840 Speaker 1: that maybe need to be stepped. 861 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 3: Aside couldn't agree More AND i think, again the producers 862 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,360 Speaker 3: are really the people who need to be paying, attention 863 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 3: the people who run these, broadcasts because, again the product 864 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,840 Speaker 3: is growing in, ratings it's growing in, fans it's growing 865 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 3: in spectator, interests it's growing in, popularity and those are 866 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 3: all great. Things imagine the opportunity we have to keep a, 867 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 3: spectator an audience, member a fan for, life or to 868 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 3: turn them off because somebody hasn't bothered to do the 869 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 3: basic prep and rolls into the studio acting like it's 870 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,439 Speaker 3: a job for life that they don't have to prep, 871 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,360 Speaker 3: for or you, know making it all about. Themselves, AGAIN 872 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 3: i bring this up only BECAUSE i know the caliber Of, 873 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 3: EUROSPORT i know the caliber of THE, BBC i know 874 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 3: the caliber of The world.
