1
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: That's a really fucking movie, oldrad, thank you for.

2
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 2: Telling us that. Oh sorry, good morning, and welcome to

3
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: a recap of day what was it?

4
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 3: Day four? Yesterday?

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: Day four, but second route, first day.

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 3: So it's still so confusing.

7
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: Anyway, welcome to the Renee Stoves Tennis Podcast with my

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: buddy Andrea Pekovic, and we're ready to give it a

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: good old review of yesterday's play. Another incredible bunch of matches,

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: oh my god, and some huge upsets, some aha moments,

11
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: I call them when it comes to some sixteen year

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 2: olds doing some damage on the WTA two. I mean,

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: it's crazy how many There was three sixteen year olds

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: that were left in the drawer at the astral Open

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: as of yesterday's But anyway, let's start with mirror on

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: Hreva just absolutely smoked on Sheber.

17
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on that.

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 4: I was so impressed because I made after she had

19
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 4: that run in Madrid and every she was on everyone's raider,

20
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 4: so charming, so natural. We'd all remember the Andy Murray

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 4: moment where she's.

22
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: Like, he's so cute, Like really, girl, I think.

23
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: I also like him.

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: I also, but the way she said it was just

25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: your type he doesn't have like scraggly hair. Actually always

26
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: I always like, I always liked him, but that was

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: just such a charming moment. And so I made an

28
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: effort to go out at the French Open in the

29
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: Qualities to see her there. She qualified that the French Open,

30
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: and I thought, man, this girl is really good, but

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: she doesn't have that punch, you know, because she was

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: so solid, such a great competitive mind, great back, and

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: really great surf.

34
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: Like very nice motion.

35
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, the second serf is really good as well. It's

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 4: like has a lot of cake, it's fast, you can't

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 4: really attack. And I was like, oh, she's really good,

38
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 4: but she to play. And this is to be fair,

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: it's not like I'm saying, oh she can't you know,

40
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 4: she's not that good. She was fifteen.

41
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: What I was saying was like, I wonder if Martin

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: is at fifteen.

43
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 4: No, that's not but I just in my mind I

44
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 4: was like, oh, if she plays against the Saballenca or

45
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 4: a Rebeccena or a Sciantec, I wonder if she can

46
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: hang with them, because she was just lacking that punch.

47
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 4: And so yesterday, and mind you, this is a few

48
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 4: months later. This is not like three years later. She

49
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 4: was hitting the living daylight out of the bar. I was.

50
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: So thrown away. I was like, what is thrown away

51
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: or blown away? Blown away?

52
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 3: English is not good?

53
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: And no, I was so blown away because an improvement

54
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 4: of this category and such short amount of time from

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 4: fifteen to sixteen was absolutely mind blowing. And she still

56
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 4: had the consistency, she still had the amazing footwork, she

57
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: still had the great serf.

58
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: But now she can hit a winner. Now she can.

59
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: She was dominant.

60
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: She's so quick as well, and she ran down that

61
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: one drop shot that ons here that nobody would have

62
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: gotten to. Well, maybe a couple of players would have

63
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: gotten to, but she hauled us up there. And I

64
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: was like, damn, this girl can move. So she was

65
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: just too good, She was too creative, She was you

66
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 2: know anytime.

67
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: But but can I just say, yeah, that's.

68
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: What I wanted.

69
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: Yes, what is the minister of misery these days? And

70
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on with her?

71
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: I mean we got a little bit of an insight

72
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: into you know, what happened at Wimbledon and why she

73
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: didn't want you know, why she wanted to win so

74
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: badly and have a family and all that sort of stuff.

75
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: And that's all, okay.

76
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: We know now, but if you're going to continue to play,

77
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: you have got to find joy in what you're doing.

78
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: You've got to have passion for what you do. And

79
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: I see ans out there, and I don't know if

80
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: it's just she's got the weight of the world on

81
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: her shoulders. I don't know what's going on, but she

82
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: looks fucking miserable.

83
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: And it's got a change.

84
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

85
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: I mean, if I was in her coaching bux, honestly,

86
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: I'd be like, if you don't show joy on the

87
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,279
Speaker 2: tennis colle from the get go, from the first.

88
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: Point, I can't work with you anymore.

89
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: Like you've got to sometimes put that onus on the

90
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: player because you know, unfortunately these coaches get paid.

91
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: By that player and it is their livelihood.

92
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: I get it all, but you gotta be to the

93
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: person that says I'm done.

94
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: If this doesn't.

95
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 4: Change, well, I will say not. Every player needs to

96
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: have joy. Like you wouldn't see joy on my face

97
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 4: when I was playing, or you wouldn't necessarily see joy.

98
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: But you're one hundred percent it's competitive. What I see

99
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: on you and Serena is passion and competitiveness to not

100
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: want to fucking lose yes with an and so so

101
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: someone like you is out there and like you're grinding

102
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: away and trying to hit winners everywhere, and it's like, oh,

103
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: I see the passion of what you're trying to do.

104
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: I don't see passion. I don't see anything from.

105
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 4: Once well, and that's the I think that the problem

106
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: with her are two things.

107
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: One it's not only that she looks.

108
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: In like a competitive manner tense like a lot of

109
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 4: other players do, like Djokovic for example, she looks miserable,

110
00:04:59,040 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: so that's a big difference.

111
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: And the other thing is yeah, right now, And the

112
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: other thing is with aunts.

113
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 4: She and Carlos Alcaraz for me, are in the category

114
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 4: they need to have fun and they need to play

115
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 4: the game to play well, like not everyone is. Like

116
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 4: there's some people some players need to work the game

117
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: to play well, but some players need to play the

118
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 4: game to fail. And exactly Roger, Carlos Alcaraz and Jaburt

119
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: and you saw, I don't know if you saw the

120
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 4: interview with Sascha Zverev at the French Open when he

121
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 4: beat actually Francis Tiafo is the same one when he

122
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: beat Francis Tafo. He gave an interview in the in

123
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 4: the German media and they asked him like, what was

124
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 4: your game plan today? And he was like, honestly, just

125
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 4: to suck out the joy of life. I did not

126
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 4: want him to have fun. I did not want him

127
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: to engage with the crowd. I did not want him

128
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 4: to have any glimpses of joy for the game and

129
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 4: for the occasion and for being on center card. And

130
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 4: I think this is exactly how you can That's why

131
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: Carlos has problems with Novak, you know, and against Veref too,

132
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 4: because these type of players, they need to feel the joint,

133
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: they need to feel the crowd, and it's just this

134
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 4: type of player that needs it and Aunts is so

135
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 4: far away from that right now. And I don't know

136
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 4: why that is. What did you think of her game specifically?

137
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 4: Did you do you think it's just mentally or do

138
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 4: you think there's also something lacking in her game? Well?

139
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 2: I think that I think the joy and passion for

140
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: having fun out there and competing is not there, and

141
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: that affects the footwork, and she was horrible with the footwork,

142
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 2: Like the back she missed so many backhands, just regular

143
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: easy backhands, mid court ish or just inside the baseline

144
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: into the net.

145
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 3: I was like, the hell, like, there's.

146
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: Just there's nothing there. It's not serving well all of

147
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: the things. And I know she's healthy. I mean I

148
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: spoke to her coach a couple of days ago and

149
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 2: she was like, you know, she's happy, she's healthy, you know,

150
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 2: and when she's healthy, she's happy.

151
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 3: And I'm like, well, okay, great.

152
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: That was before her first round and then she walked

153
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: on the court and I was like, she doesn't look happy.

154
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: She still looks miserable. That was against a girl that

155
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: had never played a Grand Slam match in her life.

156
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 2: That should have been time for her to find her

157
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 2: joy again, you know, to play against somebody that she

158
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 2: knows she's going to beat if she plays half decent. Anyway,

159
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 2: but she's out of the drawer and mirror Andreva. On

160
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: the other hand, she is without question a future top

161
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: tenor there's no question can she win a Slam? I

162
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: think so she's sixteen for fox sake, I mean, honestly,

163
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: so anyway, I think she's a superstar. And you know what,

164
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: if I'm doesn't want to have the passion, you got

165
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: a sixteen year old.

166
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: They're gone, I got it. Yeah, I'm gonna take it well.

167
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 4: And for me, just the most mind blowing thing is

168
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 4: the improvement this little of the time.

169
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and strong and she's strong.

170
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: It's going to give a shout out to Alex Demonor,

171
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: who went out there and we talked about Naldi. You're

172
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: a guy to watch for this year. Oh my god,

173
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: I was courtside for that match.

174
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 4: Alex Dimanor is playing fucking well, really unlocked another level.

175
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable how well he's playing. Like, he is not missing,

176
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: he is going.

177
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 3: After the ball.

178
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: That's exactly.

179
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's always been a backboy.

180
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: Yes he's going.

181
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 4: Yes, Yes, he's got a bit more pop on his

182
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 4: surf withne so good.

183
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: Like, oh, he looked great and sixty three six love

184
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: six to three. I mean he just smoked a Naldi.

185
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: He Analdi on the other hand, needs my back end

186
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: volly His back in volley is so bad. He missed

187
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: like ten backendvollies yesterday. That was so easy, and I

188
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: was like, oh dude, you gotta work on that. Change

189
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: your grip everything.

190
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 4: Anyway, Ah well, I have the best coaching for that

191
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: because I didn't have a great back and don't come

192
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 4: to the net.

193
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: Well, that's a problem.

194
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: Saberlenka beat the younger Throughvertova yesterday.

195
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 3: For Autova of course got through qualifying. What is she fifteen?

196
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: Oh no, she's sixty's lord anyway, Sablenka just smoked her.

197
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: She's looking great, getting through the draw easily.

198
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: Hadaj Maya won her match against Corneva, another young player

199
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 2: who of course.

200
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: Won the Australian Open Juniors last year beating Mirror Andreva.

201
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: So you know they're still they're all getting through the

202
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: draws and stuff. But Hadaj Maya was way too good.

203
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: And can we talk about Novak Djokovic, Oh my god,

204
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: he was. He was very fortunate last night to not

205
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: be down two sets to one.

206
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: Now I didn't say he was very.

207
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: Fortunate to win, because I know he would have probably,

208
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: but to not be down two sets to one because

209
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: Alex Properin had that rat, he had that set on

210
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: his racket.

211
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yesterday love forty.

212
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 2: Love forty, and he played the dumbest backhand down the

213
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: line at fifteen forty. And Jim Couriers said a great

214
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: thing on on the coverage. He said, why are you

215
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: trying to hear you don't have your kill shot, be

216
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: the shot that's not your kill shot, right, In other words,

217
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: go for that shot down the line with your forehand,

218
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: with your back hand, you mean like not, don't redline

219
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: your weekend.

220
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 3: Basically, yes, And that's what he did yesterday.

221
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: He obviously panicked, you know, and tried to go for

222
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 2: the cheap backhand down the line. I don't know why,

223
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: and he missed it by quite a significant I mean,

224
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: one thing, if you missed it by an inch, but

225
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: he missed it by oh mile. And then I think

226
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: Novak is so smart and so seasoned he probably went, oh,

227
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: he's himself, I've got this, and he did. He won

228
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: that tie break seven four, and you could tell that Novak.

229
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: There's no question Novak's under the weather. Yeah, he looks sick.

230
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 3: I said it the other day when he has a cold.

231
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: Or I watched him do a press conference a couple

232
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: of days ago and I went, oh, he sounds sick.

233
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: And everyone's like, what are you talking about, and I said,

234
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: listen to him. So anyway, there's no question he's not

235
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, which is why he's lucky not to go.

236
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: Down two sets.

237
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 2: Storm because the physicality of coming back from that with

238
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: the Aussie crowd, like getting behind Popham and prop them

239
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: can play.

240
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 3: He doesn't give you a lot.

241
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: I mean, he's got a huge, big fourhand, but in

242
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: the end he finds the way.

243
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 4: He always finds a way under the weather, over the weather.

244
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 4: And you said something interesting to me.

245
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: I came back.

246
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: I had the last match of the day and I

247
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 4: came back at two am, and the first thing you

248
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 4: said to me, oh my god. Today was the first

249
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 4: day that I thought, Jennison I was going to win

250
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 4: this tournament. Are you still standing behind this? And the

251
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 4: next morning, you know, sometimes in the middle of the

252
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 4: night you say.

253
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: Things you don't really mean.

254
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 2: You say things the night before if you've had too

255
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: many drinks, which I had not had.

256
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: But I will say, Yanick Sinner looks so good yesterday.

257
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: And I know he's playing a qualifier, okay, but he

258
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: looked so good. And the freshness that he must feel

259
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: going into the next rounds. And then you've got Novak

260
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: who's really struggling. But Novak's done this before, I know,

261
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: I know, calm down, you know, Novak I picked to win.

262
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: This tournament by a long shot.

263
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 2: But then I was like, yesterday, I was like, if

264
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: Alex Poprin can take a set and almost two sets

265
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: off of Novak, and then you know the five setter

266
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: in the first round, and you said it, people are

267
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: starting to say, maybe I can beat him.

268
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 3: I don't know, but to.

269
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: Do it over five sets is a whole different story.

270
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: But Yannick knows he can beat Novak. He beat him

271
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: twice in the space of three weeks last year. Yes,

272
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: best the three, but still I just think Yanick Sinner,

273
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, has just let everybody know I can.

274
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: I think I could win this tournament only because Novak's

275
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: not looking at his best.

276
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: Long way to go, I know, but Yannick looked old

277
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 3: last night.

278
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: Cocoa Goff got through in straight sets, but it was

279
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: a battle in the first set, and dol Hide really

280
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: should have won that first set.

281
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't see that. I was calling match at

282
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: the same time.

283
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 4: I was calling actually the Sigermond and storm Hunter match

284
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 4: at that time. But I just saw that Coco was

285
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 4: up four to one and forty fifteen to go up

286
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,599
Speaker 4: five to one, and then all of a sudden, it

287
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 4: was five hours and.

288
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: It really could have flipped and Caroline had an opportunity

289
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: when that first set, But oh that's Coca looked like

290
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 2: to you play wise, scratchy, Yeah, fourhands scratchy, serve is okay?

291
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: Back in as always Yeah.

292
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 4: Second, So you not the US series Cocoa Gough or

293
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 4: not the Washington Cocoa goth okay that I saw, and

294
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 4: not the Cincinnati so much.

295
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 3: But here's the thing, it doesn't matter because she's winning.

296
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 2: And Coco has said often, you know, in the post

297
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: match interviews, including with me, she said, I don't I

298
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: know I'm winning with my game B and that is huge,

299
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: as you know, Petco, like, if you're not at your

300
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: best and you're still winning, it kind of feels good

301
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: that you're getting through. Knowing that, and Moran deeper into

302
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 2: the tournament, she goes, she's only going to get better

303
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: and her draw is pretty good, you know what I mean.

304
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: So I think she's going to face these types of

305
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: players and I think she's going to find a way

306
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: to win. And then when she gets in the semis

307
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: and finals, then we're going to see where she's really

308
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: at because she will play Sevealan KF Sevalanka gets to

309
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: the semifinals.

310
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 4: Well just one word on the past Thompson, because I

311
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 4: called a possible upset there.

312
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: I was wrong. I admit it. Shame on me, shame, shame, shame.

313
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: I did too.

314
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 4: I thought that John could win that match and he

315
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 4: kind of choked, did choke. It felt like he thought

316
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 4: too that he could win and he.

317
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 3: Just that second set eight six in the time break.

318
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 4: But it has to see yes, But I have to

319
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 4: say one thing. The second the third set, sorry, that's

320
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 4: steph one six to two. He was playing so good

321
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 4: and when you watch him at his best, you're like,

322
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 4: how is this guy not a consistent top three for

323
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 4: the past five years?

324
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 3: He is so good.

325
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 4: The way he moves up to his forehand and takes

326
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 4: the balls on the rise as the back end is dodgy, okay,

327
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 4: but when he's confident, he hits through it. He plays

328
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: the size and he's the guy right now who plays

329
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 4: the best at the net. He's so good at the Yeah,

330
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 4: he's so good, and that would be the extra he is,

331
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 4: but it's not part of his game.

332
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: But he can do it when he needs to be.

333
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 4: Saw it against Madia dev because he knows he's not

334
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 4: going to play five hundred times back and forth. So

335
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 4: he has to come forward, and he did it. But

336
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 4: with Steph, it's part of his game and that's what's

337
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: so beautiful to see. And that could be And you

338
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 4: know how every player has to have a bass time,

339
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 4: but to be a champion, you need something extra, and

340
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 4: I feel like Steph's extra could be that netplay if

341
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 4: he just got everything else under control.

342
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: But I think that netplay could be.

343
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: The little bit of extra to win big tournaments and

344
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 4: be a champion.

345
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: When you want to come into the net and win

346
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: matches from there, you have to be calm.

347
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 3: You have to be calm.

348
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: You have to be calm.

349
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: You can to see the ball and to have the

350
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: finesse to hit the right volley with the hands or

351
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: the knifing it.

352
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: And so I think he's anxiety. And he has anxiety

353
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: out there. You see it, and he walks faster, he walks.

354
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: Slower, and the dad yelling at him is like, oh

355
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: my god, there's so much anxiety when I watch him play.

356
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: If he has that, he's not gonna win against the Novaks,

357
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: et cetera, because they're going to make him play one

358
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: more volume.

359
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 4: Well, I'm just a little side for the Steph fans,

360
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 4: he went back to his old serf. So in case

361
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 4: anyone was wondering, I said, the living hell was going on.

362
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: He went back to his old surf.

363
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I saw him bring his foot up for

364
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: a second serve.

365
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, me too a few times on the second serf,

366
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 4: but on the first surf he was back to that.

367
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: Anyway, Avanessian, you called that match against Maria Sakari.

368
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: Sakary just sucks in Grand slams. What is happening?

369
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 4: I will say avan is a very very dangerous player. See,

370
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 4: she is a counter punches. She takes the ball up

371
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 4: the line so seamlessly, and Maria and similar to Steph honestly,

372
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 4: because she has so much anxiety, she just couldn't see

373
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 4: those down the lines like we would call him. And

374
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 4: then it's always easy from the booths, you know, there

375
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 4: is nothing to lose. But we would see her teeing

376
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 4: up for like, oh, every time she had a shot

377
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 4: when she would go up the line, and Maria was

378
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 4: always caught off guard. And then another thing. Game plan wise,

379
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 4: she's not good. And I think it's not because she's

380
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 4: not good in general. I think it's because she loses

381
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 4: clarity when she panics. And the thing was she was

382
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 4: hitting the ball. Okay, she didn't play a terrible match,

383
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 4: but she was hitting everything through the chord. She never

384
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: opened up angles, and Avanisian loves to move on one

385
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 4: side line side to side. The moment zack Curi managed

386
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 4: to hit a bit of a spin where she had

387
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 4: to move out, or hit a bit of an angle

388
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 4: where she moved it in the moment, Avanisian had to

389
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: leave that perfect line for her. Yes, she either got

390
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 4: an unforced error or she got a short one that

391
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 4: she could attack, but she just hit through the chord.

392
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 4: And then, of course it seems like your opponent is

393
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: playing the best tennis of her life because you're playing

394
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 4: right into her strength. And this lack of clarity is

395
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 4: just something she needs to solve if she wants to

396
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 4: play well at Major's Again.

397
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: She was not gonna have like she's gonna have continued

398
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: like a clarity because she loses her shit, you know,

399
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 2: and she's like yelling at Tom.

400
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 3: Liked stop just stop. Just I mean, I'm like, what

401
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 3: is going on?

402
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: You cannot be yelling yelling at your coach on the

403
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 2: sideline from your chair. I mean, it's one thing if

404
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: you're down close to him on the baseline, like we

405
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 2: see rebarking and sometimes yell at it, spray at her

406
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 2: coach like okay, shut the hell up, like that's sort

407
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: of not normal, not good, but normal, like you understand.

408
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: But she's at her chair yelling all the way over

409
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: the other side of the court, down the other end

410
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 2: to tell the coach to shut up. Like, girl, yeah,

411
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: you either got to get a new coach in a

412
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: whole new coaching teams. Because I can tell you right now,

413
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: if I was coaching her, I'd get the fuck up

414
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: and walk out because I'm like, I'm sorry, these are

415
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 2: the things that I'm telling you need to get better at.

416
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 3: I think she needs to slice her backhand a lot more.

417
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: I think she can do it, but she has to

418
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 2: improve it because when you go slice down the line,

419
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,239
Speaker 2: there's so many ways that she can actually improve and

420
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 2: use her athleticism. Talk about coming into the net, she

421
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: should be coming into that a little bit.

422
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 3: More, using your speed, using your athletic ability.

423
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 2: So a lot of girls don't like to come into

424
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 2: the net too, because well, first of all, they can't bolly,

425
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 2: but also they don't want to get lobbed. You know

426
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: a lot of girls don't move well back for a lob.

427
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: She can move, so you know, there's so many little nuances,

428
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: and make the clarity clear to her on the court

429
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 2: how to play a match, and if you can't, then

430
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 2: tell her, for example, watch the balls down the line

431
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: in a clarity way and in a calm way, in

432
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 2: a non toxic way.

433
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 3: It's never going to change. Well, when you have the

434
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 3: opportunity to do that. Now, you could have her come

435
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 3: over and be like, listen, you're playing great.

436
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: When she has an easy bought just cover the line okay,

437
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: and then you go okay, you take it in and

438
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: then you go play. But when she's so hectic and

439
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: telling you to shut the fuck up, it's never gonna work.

440
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

441
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 4: Well, I will say for her that she, as I

442
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 4: mentioned before, she didn't play terrible.

443
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: Her shots were okay, like she was.

444
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 4: She didn't really get through with the surf, but that

445
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 4: again is the same thing. In the end, she did

446
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 4: it better. She started serving that that slice wide a

447
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 4: bit more. But she was hitting the ball really well,

448
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 4: like strong and hard and serving one hundred and eighty

449
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 4: k's an hour. But as I said, the girl stands

450
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 4: far behind, so it was all into her strength.

451
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: And that's what I mean.

452
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 4: Serena is now a bad example because she's the best

453
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 4: of all time on the women's side that we had.

454
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: But I think these maybe Coco is a good example, right.

455
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: She is good in adapting, she's good and like, ah,

456
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm not playing this is not working.

457
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 4: Let's try something else, Let's try and play the ball high.

458
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: And Maria just sticks with her thing.

459
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 4: And then I think to her, it felt yesterday like

460
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 4: the other girl was playing the match of her life,

461
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 4: and to a.

462
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: Certain extent she was.

463
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 4: But Maria didn't see that she had a lot of

464
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 4: tools in her back because she was not hitting the ball.

465
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes you see somebody's not feeling the ball

466
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 4: and then you can do nothing you can do. You

467
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: can maybe run and put the ball in and help

468
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 4: the other one, you know, sacrifices herself, that's what you

469
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 4: can do. But she was feeling the ball. Well, you

470
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 4: could see that she was feeling good about her tennis.

471
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 4: It was just that she felt like she couldn't hit

472
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 4: through the girl and she had no other way to be.

473
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 2: So many unforced errors on basic shots.

474
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 4: Stuff towards it was always starting to herself right, but

475
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 4: it was always like the twelfth shot, right, It's not

476
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 4: like she.

477
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 3: Missed a couple in the end.

478
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: That was terrible.

479
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 2: The girls serving and she's like missing the return. I'm

480
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 2: like at thirty all to break.

481
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 3: Back like that is bad.

482
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 4: And also that's what we kept saying that in the booth,

483
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 4: the girl like she has a great game, but the

484
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 4: one weakness in her game as her serf. She was

485
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: thirty serving one hundred and forty ks an hour first serf. Yeah,

486
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 4: that is seventy five miles as a professional tennis pot. Yes,

487
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 4: and Maria just and this just comes to tell you,

488
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 4: like how stuck in her waistep she gets. Because Maria

489
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 4: almost up until the end returned on her same normal

490
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 4: return position that she has when she plays a rebuccina

491
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 4: that serves two hundred miles an hour, you know, and

492
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 4: so you have to make adjustments the other Just because

493
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 4: it's a first serf doesn't mean it's good. She's just

494
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 4: it's a nick lester who I call the match but

495
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 4: said it's just the point starter. There was such a

496
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 4: great phrase, because that's what it is. The girl wants

497
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 4: to run, get into the long rally and then take

498
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 4: your pace and move it up the line. That's her game,

499
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 4: that's her whole thing. And Maria gave her exactly that

500
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 4: over and over and over again. Yeah.

501
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: Well, if you can't think clearly, I mean, you know

502
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: my rule, my three seas composure. Okay, if you have composure,

503
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: you can have clarity. When you have clarity, then you

504
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 2: have to have commitment. The three seas. That's the low

505
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: bottom line. And she doesn't have the three seas and

506
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: that's going to cost her going forward.

507
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 4: And now, Renee, can you take the Ben Shelton one

508
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 4: by her own?

509
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: Because I have to get ready. I have to go.

510
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 3: Oh, come on, Ben Shelton looked a little bit up

511
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: and down. You can do this. I want to talk

512
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 3: about tim of Fever.

513
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: Okay, great upset over Wasniyaki wasn'eyko was.

514
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: Upset and to love, but Tim of Fever was in

515
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: the match. She just didn't know it because she's so

516
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 3: young and inexperienced. She was losing her mind. Her a coach.

517
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 2: She was telling him this and that back chatting in

518
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: the first set, and I was like almost every game

519
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: and she's bitching and complaining only.

520
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 3: Because she's young and inexperienced.

521
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 2: And then you could see her maybe at too love

522
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 2: just go oh fuck it, yeah, just start complaining. And

523
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: she managed to get back into the mauch and in

524
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: the third set she was by far the better player.

525
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: She out hit was Niyaki. She was as patient as

526
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 3: was Niyaki.

527
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: She was incredible.

528
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 3: Oh my god, she was serving.

529
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: Well like this kid came to play in the end,

530
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 2: and at twenty years of age was Niyaki. The way

531
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 2: she did coming back and getting through qualifying. Now this

532
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 2: is five matches and she's played. She's a good player.

533
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 3: It reminds me a little bit of put in Saber.

534
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: She's the same, like.

535
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 3: I literally say more on.

536
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 4: It on the forehand side because put in her legs

537
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 4: to kind of spin it. But I called her match

538
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 4: against Corney, her first round match.

539
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: I called that and.

540
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 4: Somebody said to me, oh, man, there are so many

541
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 4: young kids who are now in the second round.

542
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: I don't even know them. And I was like, this

543
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: tim a favor. She can play.

544
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: She's really good.

545
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 2: The one thing that every person that I spoke to

546
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: talk to about her because I was.

547
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 3: Doing the match, I want to know a little bit

548
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 3: more about her. They're like, oh, she's a fighter, yeah.

549
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: Oho, that's what locker room reputation follows you everywhere, and

550
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 2: hers is She's a fighter and she showed it yesterday.

551
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: Ben Shelton looked awesome.

552
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: Alisha Parks upset over Layla Fernandez.

553
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 3: Alisha now will play Cocoa Goff.

554
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 4: The two young Americans, and Alicia Parks and Cocoa GoF

555
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 4: have the two fastest serf in the tournament.

556
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 3: Does surprise me? I can tell you.

557
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 2: Alicia Parks is one of Serena's hitting partners before the

558
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: US Open, in her last US Open, and she was

559
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 2: fucking clocking.

560
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: The serf so big. I looked at like, where the

561
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 3: hell is this girl from? She was serving harder than Serena.

562
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: Where is she from?

563
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 3: She's from Florida, I think, I believe.

564
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 1: But anyway, what do they grow there that you can

565
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: surf like this? I should have grown up?

566
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 3: I know you should have, Alex.

567
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: I mean, Rublev looked great against you Banks, and he's

568
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: looking great.

569
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 3: Taylor Fritz looked great yesterday.

570
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: And Francis Ta all the Americans is out to Marshak.

571
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 3: So how you say it?

572
00:23:54,080 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 4: March I think Marchek is a man cat in Serbian

573
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 4: I don't know.

574
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: If it's the same, and.

575
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 3: Check how there would a man cat a male cat.

576
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 3: He was not a you know what yesterday he played.

577
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: He was not a small cat. He was a man.

578
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 3: He was a man. But he looked I will just saying.

579
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 4: I will say one thing before I really have to

580
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 4: get ready, similar to Anabur doesn't look as joyous on

581
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 4: court anymore. It doesn't look like he's enjoying playing the

582
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 4: game anymore. I don't know what it is, do you know.

583
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 3: Maybe not winning anymore. I don't know. I don't know

584
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 3: what's going.

585
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: On, but.

586
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 4: It doesn't look as happy to be on core. You

587
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 4: know how entertaining is and how charismatic. I feel like

588
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 4: some of the charisma has not like all of it.

589
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 4: You still love to watch him and you still see

590
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 4: him in the hall way laughing, but it just seems

591
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 4: like something is burdening.

592
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: Him a little bit.

593
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 3: It's called expectation, That's what I think it is.

594
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 2: But anyway, Taylor looked great and I just want to

595
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 2: write at Marta Costup played an unreal match yesterday want

596
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: ten six and a third set tybroke against Mertants. That

597
00:24:59,160 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 2: was great to see.

598
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: And Caroline Garcia just proved once again.

599
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 2: Why she can't be a top ten player for more

600
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 2: than two months?

601
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 3: Plays the match of her life.

602
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 2: Against Naomi Osaka, serves out of her fucking mind like

603
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: she's Serena Williams goes out and loses too.

604
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 3: Freck from Poland who is a decent player.

605
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 4: She's a decent player, but she really yeah, she too

606
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 4: is a counterpuncha so she uses the pace of Garcia,

607
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 4: but she got broken so many times. And girlfriend was

608
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 4: serving twenty aces against Namio, so fourteen of that.

609
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, in Naomi, it's not a bad returning.

610
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: I mean, crazy Paula Badosa looked great. She smoked Paplachenkova

611
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 2: two and three. It's nice to see Paula back, Yeah,

612
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 2: I mean, and that's a great win. Seb card again

613
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 2: and Amanda A Nissa Mova. I just want to throw

614
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 2: that name out there because no one is talking about her. Look,

615
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: she needs to get better. I think she'd be the

616
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 2: first to say that she needs more matches. But fuck me,

617
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 2: I tak is there a girl that hits the ball

618
00:25:58,480 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 2: more pure?

619
00:25:59,040 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 3: I know?

620
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 4: I mean, it's I played and I'm just gonna tell

621
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 4: the story and then I really have to go as

622
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 4: I've been saying this entire time, I lost the worst

623
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 4: set I ever lost to somebody where I really thought

624
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 4: I was playing okay and I had no chance. Was

625
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 4: against against Samanda and Lisimoma and but homebook on grass,

626
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 4: which is her best surface arguably, and I was playing

627
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 4: really well, I thought, and I lost six to one

628
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 4: and the one game I was lucky, lucky to hold sir,

629
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 4: and the winners were just singing past me, like, and

630
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 4: I was almost crying. I never cried during matches. I

631
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 4: cry after matches all the time, but I never cried.

632
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 4: I was almost crying because I didn't know what to do.

633
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 4: Needless to say, a year later, I retired because I

634
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 4: was like.

635
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 2: This new breed of players, did you are you the

636
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 2: one that put her into semi retirement for six months?

637
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 3: But I think it's great what she did.

638
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: She went away from the game because she wasn't happy

639
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 2: like on she both probably needs to do, and she

640
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 2: found her joy again.

641
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 3: I mean, before you go.

642
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: Before she served out the match the other day, she

643
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 2: started smiling because the crowd were going crazy and she

644
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: was just like, oh, this feels great. And I talked

645
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 2: to her about it and she was just like started

646
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: laughing and then she said, oh girl, get it together,

647
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 2: Like what if you lose this point.

648
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 3: Lose the match, you know.

649
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: But to see the joy on her face when she

650
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 2: went to surf for the match the other day, not

651
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 2: the second round, it was the first round was against

652
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 2: sam Sonova, was unbelievable and it was so nice, you know,

653
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 2: to see a young kid who's kind of gone through

654
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 2: a little bit up and down lost her father. We

655
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: don't talk about that enough and how much that would

656
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: have affected her to come back out now and be

657
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 2: playing the tennis she is. I'm so happy that she's

658
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 2: back because she to me, I said years ago when

659
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: she was doing well, she can win a Grand Slam.

660
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about it. Anyway. All right, guys, that's

661
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 3: a wrap up. I know there's a lot more matches

662
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 3: hatching off. One atcha very one Kadjikova one. It's all

663
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 3: looking good.

664
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,960

00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 3: I mean, god damn.

667
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 2: She has some unbelievably tough drawers over the last couple

668
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 2: of years. But anyway, there's so much more on the cards.
