17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: Queens and New York. We are going to take a

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: look now at some of the big features, some of

19
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: the big themes at this year's Open, we have two

20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: very special guests. Jennie brand Over continues with us. She

21
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: is a partner at DHR International. She helps important people

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: find big jobs on Wall Street and in technology. And

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: she's also an avid, avid tennis player in a fionado.

24
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: She's out here every year for the Open and another

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: return engagement. Richard pent He's an attorney. He's also covering

26
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: the Open this year again, part of the media, author

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: of two books. The one I particularly want to focus

28
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: on is a federal Nadal. So Richard, welcome back, Thank you.

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Well, let's start though. Roger Federer is

30
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: not here. Roba Nadal is playing well despite and has

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: many injuries of late, but American tennis. When I spoke

32
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: to Nikolaitiary, Tennis Hall of Famer, he's the guy who

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: did so much to create tennis training. American tennis needs

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: more investment in its young players. Jack Sock is up

35
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: in a very important match, an American man actually advancing potentially.

36
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to jink them at the Open. And

37
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Harrison on Court seventeen, with an unbelievable crowd behind him,

38
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: is tied in the second set against Marco Baghdad as

39
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: Solus the first set six three. I mean, those are

40
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: two great hopes for American tennis, and Jared Donaldson a

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: great story in the zone. So what's wrong with American

42
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: tennis that we do not, especially on the men's side

43
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: on apart from Serena and I guess we're sister to

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: be anyway, we don't. We don't get further like we

45
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: used to. Well, I think if you asked me the

46
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: question two years ago, I would have said that young

47
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: athletes are going into other sports, other sports that they

48
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: deemed to be more lucrative from day one, perhaps like

49
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: baseball or basketball or football. But if asking me today

50
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: with SoC on the court at the at was armstrong

51
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: and with Ryan at that beautiful court seventeen, I've got

52
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: to tell you, American tennis looks really good right now

53
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: and the crowd is huge here, so clearly people care

54
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: about it. So I personally miss Federal terribly. So do

55
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: you think it's a same kind of open that it

56
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: was before without him? Actually Federer told me yesterday to

57
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: misses you before. Oh my god, No, it is not

58
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: the same type of open as it was with Roger.

59
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: And you could just listen to interviews and I'll take

60
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: two of them. Stand about Rika obviously from Switzerland, Rogers

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: doubles partner in the Olympics, not this time but at

62
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: the previous times, and Raphael may doubt in their post

63
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 1: match interviews they incorporate Roger's name, so it shows how

64
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: significant he is to the game. Still, his Labor Cup,

65
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: which was announced the Wednesday before the Open started, is

66
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: you just being discussed in the media room all the time.

67
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Europe against the rest of the world in Czechoslovakia Prague

68
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: next October, and that's a federal run event. His agency

69
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: with Tony Godsick, is running it. So Federer is somewhere

70
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: around the numbers of this event right now, even though

71
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: he's I don't think he's on premises today. Well, I

72
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: do think personally that each has changed tennis and how

73
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: people wanted to watch him and they respected him, and

74
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: he gave an incredible image at a very senior level

75
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: to mentor correctly in tennis. So he's missed. Can you

76
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: imagine going to Wimbledon as I have for a Murray

77
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: Federer match at having the crowd route for Federer. I

78
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: mean that that is that's almost incredulous. And and let

79
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: me give you the other example, and that's right here,

80
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: I believe in OH five when Roddick, who was playing

81
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: Federer in the final, Roder went ballistic after saying, this

82
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: is my country. I grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. I'm

83
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: the University of Nebraska football fan. And this crowd is

84
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: for Roger Federer and Tiger Woods of all people, the

85
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: sitting in Federer's box, which is unbelievable. So what about

86
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: this year? What do you think in terms of who's

87
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: gonna who's gonna come out the victor? Well, I picked

88
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: uh in my bracket challenge uh Andy Murray to wint it.

89
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: I think he's playing the best tennis right now. Um,

90
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: I would have said forty two minutes ago that Chilich

91
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: was a strong favor to win it. He's good chance

92
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: of losing this act today. And del Potro has far

93
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: and away the best forehand and Dennis even if Roger

94
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: was in the game. And in terms of popularity and revenues, though,

95
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: do we need to have another Roger Federitor Federer? And

96
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: hopefully you know, I mean, I'm not this in Novak,

97
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: Djokovic or Rafa who's still playing, But do you have

98
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: to because all these guys are getting older? Do we

99
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: need a youngster like that coming up? And same thing

100
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 1: on the women's side, Serena is not gonna play forever.

101
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: I think in terms of do we need another Roger Federer,

102
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: it's really the big four, And it was the Big

103
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: four previously with Lyndelle McEnroe, Borg and Connors and now

104
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: obviously Djokovic, Nadal, Bari and Federer. So it's it's more

105
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: than Roger. It's it's the fact that he's a part

106
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: of the big four. So you know, if if it

107
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 1: was a Roger isolated in two years with no clear

108
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: definable number two or number three, I don't think that

109
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: would do much for the game. Right. Well, how about

110
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: the women's side, what are you thinking? I'm thinking Serena's

111
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: gonna win this. I'm I'm thinking there's a lot of

112
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: pressure that was taken off of her. But when the Molten,

113
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: I think she's got a real chip on her shoulder

114
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: because of what happened last year against Vinci. I mean,

115
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: I I don't know how this is gonna sound. I

116
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: don't think that vinc won that match. I think Serena

117
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: lost that match, and I think Serena is gonna win this.

118
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: I love Madison Keys, who's playing right now. I think

119
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: she won the first set. I'm not sure the score

120
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: in the second set, but she's a she's gonna be

121
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: a great, great player, and Woesniaki is playing a lot better.

122
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: I watched her in New Haven in some eight days ago,

123
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: losing the first day, and I said, she's done. And

124
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: now it looks like the woes Naki, who was number

125
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: one in the world for eight weeks at one point

126
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: in time. Little known fact of old. Do you think

127
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: the Olympics are gonna affect Serena all emotionally or mentally

128
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: in what way? Well, she didn't. She didn't really do

129
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: that well, correct, I think that's a long nine. Okay,

130
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: so you know what. I'm a normal person, she's not,

131
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: so I guess that doesn't affect her. Yeah. Now, I

132
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: went to her opening press conference and it seemed like

133
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: annesly uh. But I don't think that's going to impair

134
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: serious performance. All right, Well, just getting started. Richard can't
