1
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: Okay, well, hello everybody, and welcome to the Renee Stubbs

2
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: Tennis Podcast. I am that person, and I am joined

3
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: by the one and only Caitlin Thompson once again. Oh

4
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: so lucky to have you again, Caitlin. All right, So

5
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: we have a lot to get to, as per usual, Caitlin,

6
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 1: because I know it's your favorite time of the year

7
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: to get up at five in the morning or six

8
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: in the morning and watch clay court tennis. And it

9
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: has been a plethora of tennis already in Madrid. We've

10
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: had great storylines, We've had some crazy shit go down

11
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: this week already. We've got some wonderful comebacks that I

12
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: want to get to as well. That are ie people

13
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: that have come back from injuries and various things like that,

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: and one in particular that I'm very interested in. But

15
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, you're overall thoughts Caitlin on what you've seen

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: thus far of this lovely ten day event that the

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: players love not so much, and like some players have

18
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: already lost first round, they're like, Okay, what the fuck

19
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: am we going to do now for two weeks?

20
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they have to go to Rome and

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: what are they going to fly home? To various stretches.

22
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: I guess if you're in Europe, you can take a

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: train home or you know, maybe even hitchhik.

24
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: But if you don't think there's some Americans that will like,

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: get me on that flight back on Delta aback to

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: Florida and then I can come back and probably there

27
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: have been something to do it.

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: To be honest, maybe, although you know, I wonder at

29
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 2: the wisdom of that. You know, we're going to get

30
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: into the matches and obviously talked about the results. I

31
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: somehow doubt we're going to be talking about Emilio Nava,

32
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 2: who is a you know, sort of second tier American player.

33
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: But the point has been made that this is the

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: only American male to do really well in this tournament

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: because he trains on clay in South America. Now it

36
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: makes me wonder if I am one of these American

37
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: men who's want lost early in Madrid and I've got

38
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: a real big Open week ahead of me, wouldn't it

39
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: behoove me to stay on clay and get ready for

40
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: Rome and then Roland garros by getting more reps on

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: that beautiful Tierra Batuda.

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: To me, it would, yes, it would, but a lot

43
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: of American men in particular, creatures of habit and like

44
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: to jump on a flight and maybe go home for

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: a week. But I would, I digress, and I would

46
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: not do that. I would definitely stay in Europe. I

47
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: would get my teeth wet more on the clay and

48
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: understand how to play on it, how to slide on it,

49
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: how to manufacture a point on it, et cetera, et cetera.

50
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: You know. And another interesting thing is that Anne Lee,

51
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: for example, who had a pretty decent tournament her self,

52
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: practices and plays and all her tennis in Spain. So

53
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, there's positives and negatives to that. You know,

54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: it's hard to be away from home. I think it

55
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: depends on the age you are. But I think if

56
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: you want to develop your sort of all court clay

57
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: court style grind nature, learn how to maybe put to

58
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: point together a little bit better rather than those hit winners. Yes,

59
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: you should spend a season training on clay, go to

60
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: the raffie on the academy and go to the you know,

61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: the one colis Vera academy. Learned to like how to

62
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: actually play on clay for sure.

63
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and for me, the Americans and men in particular

64
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: not traditionally successful on clay. I was watching a match

65
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: that our friend Miles David from Tuned into Tennis was

66
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: posting on the internet earlier this week, and it was

67
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: a quarter final match between Pete Samprass and Jim Currier,

68
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: two American men at Roland Garos fighting it out in

69
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: the top group of players, and I just remember thinking, Wow,

70
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: Pete Samprass is not known as a clay court player.

71
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: If anything, we know him for winning a ton on grass.

72
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: The fact that he and Currier played an epic match

73
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: over five sets at Roland Garos indicates how far the

74
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: level has dropped off, not only for men in the

75
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: US generally, but just especially on being able to handle

76
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: different services. You know, you really got to be a

77
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: European fan and or a fan of women, which you

78
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: know we perennially are if you want to enjoy the

79
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: natural surface part of the season, because yeah, the American

80
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: men don't tend to do too great once the once

81
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: game moves off of hard court. But you know what

82
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: it's on at six am. I love it. I'm watching

83
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: interesting matches. I just watched Titsipas when he's down into

84
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: the round of sixteen. You know, there's all sorts of

85
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: interesting storylines.

86
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you just couldn't wait, could you. You could

87
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: not wait? Now, listeners are just like we were wondering

88
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: when Caitlin was going to talk about Sitzapas and the

89
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: fact that he's still in the tournament, and.

90
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: I love it, you know, good for him him, and

91
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 2: I love it. I Look, what I like so much

92
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: about this time of the year is the storylines start

93
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: to coalesce. They're not always what you think. Now all

94
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: of a sudden, Arthur Feast looks like a credible challenger

95
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: to the hegemony of Carlos Alcarez and Yennick Center, which

96
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: obviously we'll talk about both of them. So yeah, I

97
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: just like when things get a little chaotic and it's like,

98
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: and see this guy coming, or remember that guy he

99
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: thought he did and blood.

100
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: I mean, but he beat a qualifier. Let's not get

101
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: too carried away here.

102
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: He beat four people in front of him so far

103
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: on the tournament.

104
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: This is true. This is true. Listen. I'm happy. I

105
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: want Sitzapas to be doing well. He's a great person

106
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: to watch, he's a great player to he's an interesting character.

107
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: We both love, the one handed backhand, all the things.

108
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: So we like that he's out there and winning matches.

109
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: You know, obviously Janick Sinner is just running through the straw.

110
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: He is looking more. I predicted before Carlos pulled out

111
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: of the French I did predict it. I thought he

112
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: was going to win the French Open. I think there's

113
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: such unfinished business from what happened last year, which you know,

114
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 1: he doesn't need to be reminded of serving for the match,

115
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: being up love forty on Carlos a serve. I mean

116
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: that's got to just piss him off. I mean it would.

117
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: I think I would think about if I was him

118
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: that match once a day, every day, every day since

119
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: I lost. There's no doubt he has hit a ball

120
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: in practice or there's something where it's sort of like

121
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: I don't know it's happened where he's like, oh, why

122
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: didn't I do that on that match point or something.

123
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: There's no question he thinks about that once a day

124
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: at least once. So I mean the only way he's

125
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: going to let go of that is if he wins

126
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: the match and wins the tournament this year. And I

127
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: think he's gonna do that now.

128
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: With Carlos out, it does seem more likely than ever, although,

129
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: like I said, I would love it if an Arthur

130
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: Feast comes in and spoils the party.

131
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna say it's a possible, Hey, it's possible.

132
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: He plays very well on clay, but.

133
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 2: Also Susy Pass Let's not forget, was one set away

134
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 2: from being the friend shopen oh so many years ago

135
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: against Novak Djokovic. Yeah, the crazier things have happened, But

136
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: I do like the fact that it's you know, the

137
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: men's side is not just the same couple faces. There's

138
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: a little bit of intrigue, including a young Spaniard who

139
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: we should probably talk about.

140
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that before we get into Carlos. Let's

141
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: talk about the other Spanish play that with the name

142
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: called Raphael. Yeah, just to I mean to watch him

143
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: and Fan Saca play that match was just like so

144
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: fun because all I kept thinking was please let these

145
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: two be around for another ten years doing this because

146
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: it was so fun. Interesting to see the fact that

147
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: they're both what nineteen years of age, which is really

148
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: hilarious that Fonseka is still only nineteen years of age

149
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: and everyone's like it probably the first match of Fonseka

150
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: has gone out and gone, oh wow, I'm the favorite,

151
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: and am I the more mature one here? But yet

152
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: this young guy, Rafa number two has come out and

153
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: man or man what a forehand? Like? Just absolutely clocks

154
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: the forehand, No fear. Clearly has had the crowd behind him,

155
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: even though that must be very unusual for Fonsaca because

156
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: Ska usually has the crowd on his side, but he

157
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: had a good contingent of Brazilians there as well. The

158
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: atmosphere was awesome. Your thoughts on Rafa number.

159
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: Two It's hard to tell. I mean, I see the

160
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: big fourhand. I also see Jael Fonsika's big fourhand. And

161
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to say something kind of controversial, although my

162
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 2: like larger point is Viva Spanya. And I'm really excited

163
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: because I love Spanish players and I love watching them

164
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: play at home. And you know, I'm generalizing, but traditional

165
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: I'm here for every Spanish player, including the woman who

166
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: you've probably played about a bajillion times and for whom

167
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: one of these courts is named after, Araanchachez A.

168
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: Yes exactly.

169
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: So for me, I am excited. In theory. I didn't

170
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: get that excited about watching him. It didn't look that

171
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: emotional or sort of variety filled. That's a little bit

172
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: of a devil's advocateake. I love that his dad coaches him.

173
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: I love that he's not some like hyped prospect that

174
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: IMG already has its tentacles around and is hyping him

175
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: before we actually get to see him play. That's a

176
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: nice change of pace. But I want to ask you,

177
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: as the certainly the technical expert on this chat, what

178
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: do you see that looks so exciting because I don't

179
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 2: yet see it. Well.

180
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: One thing that I did really like is that, you know,

181
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: he's got a pretty not extreme like not like Coco extreme,

182
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: but he has pretty extreme grip on the forehand. But

183
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: I feel like he gets down to the low fourhands

184
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: that are sort of in that area of the court,

185
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: like midway up the court, the service line area that

186
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: some players struggle with because but he and here's the

187
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: diff ference, he rips it cross court. He you know,

188
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: he he gets underneath that and he has such amazing

189
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: racket heead speed. He can produce really easy power, and

190
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: so that's exciting for him because hitting and he hits

191
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: the ball really deep in the court. So for someone

192
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: who's nineteen. He sort of really gets depth on his groundstrokes.

193
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: He clocks the ball, he goes after the return. He

194
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: hit a couple of kick serves like rip the back

195
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: end down the line. Here's the thing that people don't

196
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: have to remember about this. Yes he played great, Yes

197
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: he won this match. Yes he's an absolute no question,

198
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: he's going to be a very good player. But coaches

199
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: start to look at tendencies. Coaches start to look at

200
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: where they hit the ball. Coaches start to look at

201
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: where they make their mistakes. You know, you think about

202
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: someone like a Darren k Hill. He'll take every stat

203
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: of this guy and he will break it down and

204
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: he'll say he's four and goes here across court eighty

205
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: five percent of the time it goes here down the line.

206
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: That's the difference with having analytics and you know companies

207
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: like Hawkeye and all these sort of companies, is that

208
00:09:54,920 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: you can start picking apart somebody's strengths and weaknesses really easily. So, yes,

209
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: he's having a fabulous week this week. But then you

210
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: start getting on hard court, does the forehand change a

211
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: little bit? He's got quite big swings, Like is that

212
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: going to get taken advantage of on a faster court.

213
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: So calm the farm, everybody, this is what happens. He's

214
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: having an amazing week. Is he going to be top

215
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: twenty in the world. Yes, I believe he will be

216
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: because he does have this, you know, really big game

217
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: at nineteen. He's only nineteen. He moves well all the things,

218
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: and he has a very good calm demeanor. I like

219
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: that about him as well. So look to be determined

220
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: how good he's going to be. But because there's a

221
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: sophomore jinx of what we talk about the next year,

222
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: Like some people can come out and have an amazing

223
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: year and then the next year I was like, oh,

224
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: I know exactly where you're going to hit that forehand.

225
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: I know exactly where you're going to hit that serve,

226
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: and they start to pick that apart the great players.

227
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: This is why you, as a great player, have to

228
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: always improve your game because everyone's looking at you all

229
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: the time. There's so much data on you. There's so

230
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: much data on Sinner, on Alcorazon Novak. You have to

231
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: start developing even more on your game. The better you get.

232
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: So on that note, great player, he's obviously going to

233
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: He's still in the tournament, could win the tournament. You

234
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: never know. Yeah, who knows, and we'll see. But yeah,

235
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: a tremendous young talent, there's no doubt about that. And

236
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: what a great name. Come on, I have so much

237
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: to say about Raffa. We'll save it for our second segment.

238
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: But anybody who picks up the mantle of the greatest

239
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: man on Clay Ruff and it all already has several

240
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: points working in his favor. I mean, his dad had

241
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: a His dad was like, listen, this is he's like

242
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: a Richard Williams. He's like, we're going to have a kid.

243
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: We're going to call it Rauffa and he's going to

244
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: be a great tennis player. And guess what, good job dad.

245
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: So far, so good, so far, so good. Yeah. Anyway,

246
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: so yeah, I'm super excited about it. I like that

247
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: Caspar Rude is having a good timement as well. This

248
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: is his time time of the year to shine my

249
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: little man David, so he can't say his name choke

250
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: on it every time. Everyone at home it's like, oh

251
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: my god, Renee, you're so bad with this. But it's

252
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: like a mental block. I told you I had did

253
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: an interview with him in Washington, d C. After he

254
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: won his semi final, made the finals and he had

255
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: that very difficult loss to Alex Demonor in the final,

256
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: and as I was like saying and ladies and gentlemen

257
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: through to the final, and I was like, it's like

258
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: a glitch in my head.

259
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 2: I think you do better than most people in general

260
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: with all these names.

261
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: So well, thank you, Caitlyn. See this is why you're.

262
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 2: Here on a curve. But I do think it's pretty good.

263
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: Caitlin and I have had an epiphany. All the listeners

264
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: out there, we try and be more supportive of one another. Okay,

265
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: try not to give her too much of a hard

266
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: time on the tennis court. She tries to communicate with

267
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: me better from time to time. Look at us, look

268
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: at us.

269
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: Growth. What growth is called?

270
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: This is growth. But yeah, I'm super happy to see

271
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: him back doing well. This this is time to shine.

272
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: Nobody talks about him winning this tournament. But look out

273
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: for old Caspar because he loves the claim.

274
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Caspreud has also been in a French Open final.

275
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: And speaking of the generation, right, we're already onto the

276
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: ju Al Fonseka Rafa Hodar generation. Not even mentioning Carlos

277
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: Alcoriz and Yannick Center. But remember the generation in between,

278
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: Remember the TCU passes and the Kasperuds and the Medvedev's.

279
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: Here they are. They're still in the tournament.

280
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: Hey, Meddi's still in the tournament.

281
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: Meddi's still in the tournament. He's playing right now. Like,

282
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: who knows, anything could happen. Kids, follow your dreams. So

283
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 2: for me, like, we'll see what happens. We should talk

284
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: a little bit about.

285
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: Before we get to the ladies.

286
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: We want to talk to the ladies. Yeah, we should

287
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: talk about Carlos.

288
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: So no at all. Now I have a couple of things,

289
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: and that was a couple of people that three questions

290
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: at me as well. So we'll get to those later.

291
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I played twenty two years on tour.

292
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: I had some injuries. I had stress fractures. I had

293
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: knee surgeries, not major ones, but knee surgeries. I had

294
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: all kinds of problems because you know, I'm me. But

295
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: the worst injury I had as a player, without question,

296
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: was a risk injury. In nineteen ninety seven, I was

297
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: currently at that moment the highest in my singles ranking.

298
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: I think I was sixty in the world. I was

299
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: really starting to make it a dent in my singles game.

300
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: I was starting to understand myself as a singles player better.

301
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: You know. I was top ten and double so I

302
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: was having a great year nineteen ninety six. It was

303
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: a really good year for me to get my shit together. Basically,

304
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: I started living in the US, started working out here

305
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: and all the things, so it was a good trajectory.

306
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: And then boom. I got a risk injury at the

307
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: beginning of nineteen ninety seven and I could not hit

308
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: a fourhand. I couldn't hit a fourhand much anyway, but

309
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: I really could not hit the shot. I was in

310
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of pain. I was seeing doctors, I

311
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: was doing this, I was doing that, And finally, like

312
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: seven months later, I saw a physio and at Wimbledon.

313
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: Actually that basically cured my wrist. Oh, but that's a

314
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: whole different story. I lost seven months of my career. Basically,

315
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: my singles ranking tanked down for me to come back

316
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: in doubles because it just made it was easier. But

317
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: I really struggled after that with my singles a lot.

318
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: But the risk injury is no fucking bueno. It is no, Joe,

319
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: it is the worst injury in tennis because no matter what,

320
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: if you can't hit the ball, you can't play tennis.

321
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: And you know, a back is bad, yes, if it

322
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: seizes up all the things. You know, if you pulled

323
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: a handstring, he can't run. Oh, I get it. But

324
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: if you can't hit the ball, then you can't play tennis.

325
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: And he has been dealing with sort of arm issues

326
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: on and off his whole entire career. One thing that

327
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: I do somebody brought this up on the socials to me,

328
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: is that playing a lot of golf. And then also

329
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's causing him, because you know,

330
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: if you play golf and you play it well, you're

331
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: taking divots, you really you are using your wrist on

332
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: the golf shot a lot. I don't know if that's

333
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: got anything to do with that. A doctor can answer

334
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: that more than I could. But also he changed his

335
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: service motion this year where he is starting with that

336
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: little wristband a little different. I think about Novak had

337
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: his issues with his elbow, and I have to say

338
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: I do not like that start of that serve. As

339
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: great as a server as Novak is, that little hitch

340
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: that he does at the start, and then he bends

341
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: it back again. I just I don't know if that's

342
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: causing any problems with the wrist. Could be bimechanically, I

343
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: don't know. It could be he just has a problem

344
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: in that area of his body that's just weak. I

345
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: don't know, So I'm speculating in all of this, doctor Stubbs,

346
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: but I just it just doesn't make sense that a

347
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: guy of his age is continually having problems with this

348
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: area of his body. And it is bad if he

349
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: doesn't get this like organized. It's not good for his

350
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: career because the wrist is the fucking worst and if

351
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: he hurts, and just look at one, well one del Potro,

352
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, look at his career. It just went down

353
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: the toilet after all these wrist injuries. So he's got

354
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: to be real. Carlos has to be really really careful

355
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: with this injury.

356
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean one. Martin del Potro is the obvious

357
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: example of what can go very wrong, very fast, forever, certainly,

358
00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: And it does seem like by preemptively withdrawing from preemptively

359
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: withdrawing from Roland Garros, which obviously is a state of

360
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: great success and really good for his game. It seems

361
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 2: like he's taking this very very seriously and thinking the

362
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 2: same way right, which is that if you want to

363
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 2: have a long career, you cannot afford to not treat

364
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: this sort of thing really seriously.

365
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, I saw him at the Loris

366
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: Awards and he got his Athlete of the Year are

367
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: very deserved, but I saw the wrist had the guard

368
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: on it, and I was like, that's bad. You know,

369
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: it's one thing to sort of not have a guard on.

370
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: So the guard is obviously stopping him from moving his

371
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: wrist totally. It's stopping him from using the tendons, all

372
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: of the things that you don't want to see. And

373
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: so I am very concerned about this injury very And

374
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: the reason I say that as I have complete OJEDAT

375
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: like I have complete PTSD when anyone has a wrist injury,

376
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: and I always tell people, and I've had this conversation

377
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: with a lot of players through the years, I'm like,

378
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: take an extra week, do not play on this until

379
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: it's one hundred percent, because if you snap attendant or

380
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: you do something to that area that is just like

381
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: one Martin, it's bad. So you know, fingers crossed. I'm

382
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: really really hoping that this is something that's not overly

383
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: serious and they're just being very precautionary, but it is

384
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: a major concern for Carlos Agrez, and you know it

385
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: was I thought it was a bit of a shit

386
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: question on the court when they brought that up to

387
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: Yanick and they were like, oh so, I don't know

388
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: if you heard, but Yannick pulled out of the French

389
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, don't bring that up. That's just not

390
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: a that's a question for in house, not on the

391
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: court question. I just thought, but yeah, it's difficult, but

392
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: Janick Sinner went well and truly to the favorite to

393
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: win the French Open after that.

394
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I do want to just note really quickly,

395
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 2: like we brought up oh well, I brought up Arthur

396
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 2: Feast earlier, and not only do I think he's peaking

397
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 2: at the red time and obviously he's looking great on

398
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 2: a surface that he's obviously very comfortable on. But don't

399
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 2: forget that guy had a back injury for about a year.

400
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: So maybe in some cases shutting it down taking a

401
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: lot of time really rehabbing it can give you totally

402
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: fresh legs. You know, Andrea Pekovich had a fantastic column

403
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 2: about injuries and the way that we, you know, can

404
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: get our minds around them, and how sometimes the players

405
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 2: can you know, obviously be completely shut down or in

406
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 2: sometimes cases they can be the sort of beginnings of

407
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: a renewal. So maybe, you know, certainly we have to

408
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 2: hope as tennis fans that it's the latter.

409
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the one thing that he will maintain

410
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: is his fitness, because that's the one thing you can

411
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: still do with the wrist injuries that you can do

412
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: all the training, but you know, upper body stuff it's

413
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: not that easy. So he's going to have to His

414
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: legs will be strong, but his legs are always strong.

415
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: It's just whether or not he can sustain, you know,

416
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: hitting a lot of balls, and that's that's a major problem.

417
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: And also going on grass not so easy. It's kind

418
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: of like the worst surface to play on when a

419
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: bit of a dodgy wrist like you get to take

420
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: a bad bounce and boom so hard caught a lot

421
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: more predictable with the bounces you get the same spin

422
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: coming at you, whereas on grass it can take one

423
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: or two little dodgy low bounces or I mean it's

424
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: a little bit different. The grass is slightly different to

425
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: what it was twenty years ago, but it bounces like

426
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: a hard court now.

427
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: But still anyway, I really think about grass, No, I

428
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 2: mean the last thing. I'll say it because you mentioned

429
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: it a lot of times. Those Slazenger balls are harder

430
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 2: the worst and the moisture the balls can pick up

431
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: from the moisture of the grass means the balls are heavy.

432
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: Well you are, Corre.

433
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: After I've been hitting on grass, my body feels great

434
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 2: because it's really low impact on your you know, your

435
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: joints and your knees in your back, but it's actually

436
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 2: quite hard work on your shoulder and your arm because

437
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: of how heavy the ball is. So yeah, not maybe

438
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 2: not the worst idea to skip natural surface this season

439
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 2: and then just come back strong to defend this open.

440
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: Well we'll see, I will see. But like I said,

441
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean, hopefully he takes the week more weeks than

442
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: he maybe wants to. But yes, you are correct, and

443
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: really that's a great point, Caitlin about the balls because

444
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: they are notoriously heavier at on the grass. The slaz

445
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: on your ball gets a little bit you know, bigger

446
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: and tends to take the moisture of the grass all

447
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: of that. So, yeah, that's you make a great point.

448
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: They're well done and well done, care well done, you did.

449
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: You, honey. We talked about that thank you as pretty usual.

450
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 2: Should we chalk about the women.

451
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: Yes we should. I want to start out by saying,

452
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: I am so excited to see Carolina Pushkova winning matches.

453
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: Can I just say, obviously, somebody I coach, somebody remained

454
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: friends with even after we stopped working together. You know,

455
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: I blame her on that, but I'm just kidding. She

456
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: she has had a great tournament. The comeback win against

457
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: Mertons the other day, down four to one on Serve

458
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: Love forty to go down five to one, matches over

459
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: and she plays a typical Carolina game where she's kind

460
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: of looks like she doesn't give a shit. She's a

461
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: nace here, big fourhand there. But she got through that

462
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 1: match and hitting the ball great. Watched her today in

463
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: her win against Sierra. Expected her win that match, but still,

464
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: you know this is this is the most amount of

465
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: to back matches she's played in a long long time.

466
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: I spoke to her after the match and she said,

467
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: the body's holding up. She's still alive, and so I'm

468
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: super proud of her. She's into the quarterfinals of a

469
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: WTA one thousand, and I did give her a goal

470
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: between the two of us. I expect her to be

471
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: top fifty by Wimbledon because she's that good. And so

472
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: let's just all come together as a group of listeners

473
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: and hope that Carolina Plushkova and Carolina Mouhova, the two

474
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: Czech players, stay injury free this year. Mouhova obviously is

475
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: having an amazing year, but just for me, it's great

476
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: to see Carolina back playing, playing really well and hasn't

477
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: an opportunity. If Rubakina wins her match, that will be

478
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: the matchup. That'll be a big tail for her.

479
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 2: I also at elevation Pushkova and on grass pushcover is

480
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: real dangerous. I mean, don't forget you. Of all people

481
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 2: would never forget that for a time. Her moniker on

482
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 2: tour was the East Queen was yeah, you just absolutely

483
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 2: can cut anybody down to size that massive syrup.

484
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: And she plays well on clay. I mean she made

485
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: she won Rome a couple of years ago. She's this

486
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: is a good court for her because it's a little

487
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: bit of altitude, so the serve really flies in Madrid

488
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: and big hitters tend to play well, which is why

489
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: Rafael Nadal didn't win Madrid that many times because it

490
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: was more suited to Roger or you know, Novak or

491
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: something like that. So so yeah, I'm super happy for her,

492
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: but she's going to run into the buzz saw that

493
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: ear is Barkina if Rebarkina wins her match. But the

494
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: Rabeckina has really been struggling and winning some big matches.

495
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: And your friend Q back on play when Gwen.

496
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: Ah Man, I mean she went down in three two Rabackna,

497
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: But I'm delighted. I couldn't be more delated.

498
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: She's an outsider to win the French MA.

499
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 2: She's won the Olympic gold on that court, and she

500
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 2: likes clay. She trains in Spain, not unlike an Lee,

501
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, she lives in Barcelona. And you know again,

502
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 2: the way that she can play on the surface is

503
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: super exciting. Yeah right, Rabakken is gonna on all the

504
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: clay have the most success in Madrid. After this, It's

505
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: hard to imagine her making a big run at Rome.

506
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 2: Oh I disagree, She's been playing I still fast.

507
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: Listen, Lena Rebakina is arguably the best player in the

508
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: world right now, and I actually win on any surface

509
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: because if she's serving well, good luck because you've got

510
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: a breaker and she's a great returner. She's moving pretty well,

511
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: she's hitting the forehand consistently well, and those are her weaknesses,

512
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: the forehand. So for me, look out because I think

513
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: the only thing that's going to stop her is even

514
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: maybe an injury or somebody else because she's playing that well.

515
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: But it'll be a good test obviously, you see. And

516
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: then she's my favorite to win at Wimbledon by far.

517
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

518
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean taberlink has not even made the final there,

519
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: so until she does that, you can't call her the

520
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: favorite there.

521
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: I just watched a fantastic sable link and named soccer

522
00:24:58,640 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 2: maps this morning. Did you see any of that?

523
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: Yes, I saw a bit of it. I didn't see

524
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: the first because I don't get up as early as you.

525
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: It was the first thing I turned on this morning.

526
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 2: It was a great match. Namiosaka looks fit. I like

527
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: her fits. I think she's been really really putting in time.

528
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: How about this sky she's sliding, Well, I'm into it.

529
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 2: Bobska scarf. Sure, why not. I'm kind of over sublink

530
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: as like mob wife aesthetic anyway, So for me, yeah,

531
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: let's get into some you know, jellyfish and Bobushka's why not?

532
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: I like ells mob wife. Explain that to me? What

533
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: do you want?

534
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 2: Do you not know what a mob wife looks like?

535
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: Well, what with the gold chains and stuff.

536
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: The furs and the fillers and the whole thing. Listen, yolo.

537
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying for me personally, it's less of

538
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: a you know, exciting proposition.

539
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: So you like lessons more, but you don't mind the Bobushka.

540
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the babushka feels weird enough to work. I don't know,

541
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 2: it feels very Pucci Emiliana Pucci is actually I have

542
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 2: to say, shiffer on hard Coot noted.

543
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: I think the reason you say that is because I

544
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: could see you doing that on the Tenni Squad, because

545
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: I sure I actually feel like you've done that before

546
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: on the Kenness Co.

547
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's highly passable, but I'm really excited. Numasaka is

548
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: looking good and she was sliding.

549
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well she's she practices it, she tries her best

550
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: to do it.

551
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 2: She looked like she was, and she could do flating

552
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: this morning it was unlike another name I had ever seen.

553
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: And listen, she came within a whisker, you know, a whisker,

554
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 2: and suddenly could played great. But also I don't think

555
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 2: she has what it takes to get past Rebuccina, given

556
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 2: how good Rebecca is playing right now.

557
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: Oh, there's a lot of gauntlet's being thrown down, but

558
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: I take a lot of you know who I'm excited about,

559
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: and you know, I leave baptisted a couple of yes,

560
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, someone asked me, you know

561
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: who would you like to coach? I loved well, first

562
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: of all, I loved coaching in general, but Hailey Baptiste.

563
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: I was like, please let me coach her. She has

564
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: so much raw talent. She just didn't know what the

565
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: hell she was doing on the court. She had no

566
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: direction all the things. So clearly she's finally getting that together.

567
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: And this is a kid that can play tennis. I mean,

568
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 1: she has the athleticism, she has all the games, she

569
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: can come into the now, she has variety, all the things,

570
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: and that win today was a statement against benchit, particularly

571
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: when she lost the second set sixteen fourteen in the tiebreak,

572
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: and then manages to control herself and let that go

573
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: after all the opportunities to win the match in the

574
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: second set, and then comes back and ends up winning

575
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: this match six' three in the. THIRD i, mean IF

576
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: i had drums or like a, PRECUTIONARY i would be,

577
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: Like Hayley, baptiste what a statement win that? Was that

578
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: was really, impressive really. Impressive she has all the.

579
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 2: TOOLS i mean to, me it's a matter of putting

580
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: them together and not getting out out emotionally kissaying in.

581
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 2: IT i, mean remember once she had a couple of

582
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 2: set points Against sabolenca AND i think she ended up

583
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: losing in two tie. Breaks earlier in the year she

584
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 2: was she felt, like oh, YEAH i got her. Number

585
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 2: she belongs to, me like next TIME i got her which,

586
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: LOOK i pla de chutzpa you certainly need to, believe

587
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 2: but anybody watching that match would have seen her fundamentally

588
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: collapse and double fault a, bunch despite you, know losing

589
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: only two breaks of. Serve it wasn't close in those,

590
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 2: moments AND i think that's Where Haley baptists can really,

591
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 2: improve because you, know she's.

592
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: Got all the.

593
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: TOOLS i would love to see A Haley baptiste sounds

594
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: maybe With Renee tubsitter, said come, On, Haley.

595
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: Oh, NO i mean her coaching department is doing really well,

596
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,239
Speaker 1: already so they don't need to add me to. That

597
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: but if there was ever an opportunity to work with

598
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: somebody like, that it WOULD i would not say. No

599
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: she is fabulous And i've always thought. This i've had

600
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: conversations with her years ago in the past and tried

601
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: to tell her how good she. Is and you, know

602
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: it's just really nice to. SEE i mean this is

603
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: she's won a lot of matches over the last few,

604
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: months and to believe someone Like belinda bencicch after so

605
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: AS i, said losing that second, set which would have

606
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: been very heartbreaking for her and emotionally, draining to come

607
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: back and actually win it a great. Effort so super

608
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,080

616
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: saw this on you have.

617
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: To explain it in a way that people listening to

618
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: this without a visual reference are going to get so.

619
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: Bonkers let's just Say i've seen it. Before i'll say

620
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: THAT i don't. KNOW i can't remember the actual scoreline

621
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: at the, time but let's just say it's the first

622
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: point of the match And Sarah arani is, Serving, okay

623
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: not the data whatever, happened because she's never going to

624
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: serve first in any, match but just out of. Curiosity

625
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: so she's serving, first and Jas Min palalini is standing

626
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: basically to her, Right, Okay so she's standing on the

627
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: the same side of the. Court So saraharroni is serving

628
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: like she's playing singles right in the, middle and jas

629
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: mcpalini is to her, right so the entire line down

630
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: the left side is, open, Okay and she hits the

631
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: serve and then starts running over, there but they're both

632
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: on the. Baseline i'm just, LIKE i, Know Sarah ronnie

633
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: has arguably the worst serve in the history of women's.

634
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: Tennis she'll be the first to admit that that's christ it.

635
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: Is it is the worst serve in the history of women's. Tennis,

636
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: Okay and she would, SAY i agree with. You and

637
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: if she, DIDN'T i would, say have you watched? Tennis?

638
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: OKAY i Mean Elena dementieva bit, shocker but hers was

639
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: About Lindsay davenport will tell you that was one of the.

640
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: Worst AND i know BECAUSE i played against. That it

641
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: was such a nightmass serve because it was a, slider

642
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: so it stayed under the. Net you had to get

643
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: under it and you had to do something with. It

644
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: and also and Then demitieva would hit the living shit

645
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: out of the next. Ball so if you didn't a

646
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: a good, return you're in. Trouble let me tell you Against,

647
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: Dementieva Sarah roani has a kick. Serve it just sits.

648
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: There it's like it's like the perfect approach shot for

649
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: anyone to hit a winner on, right she has the

650
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: worst serve in the history of women's. Tennis But lord have.

651
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: Mercy when they're both standing on the, BASELINE i just,

652
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: think how the how do they win so Many Grand

653
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: slams playing like? This, well you know WHAT i would

654
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: do on that return and. LISTEN i can say this

655
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: BECAUSE i played Against cerera one a million times in,

656
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: doubles AND i did like playing against. HER i would

657
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: just hit a drop. SHOT i would hit a drop

658
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: shot off every single or one of her. Serfs i'm

659
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: just gonna hit a drop. Shot make them both run.

660
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: In we're clearly neither of them want to be at

661
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: that moment in, time and then just hit a lob

662
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: or just hit a winner or. Whatever, YEAH i mean it's.

663
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 2: Bonkers the fact that their combined hate is under eleven. Feet,

664
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 2: yeah does scream tactical opportunity to a player who's paying.

665
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 2: ATTENTION i JUST i didn't even know you could do, That,

666
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: LIKE i don't even.

667
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: KNOW i didn't know you could do. That, WELL i

668
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: guess you can because you play Iphe nation for.

669
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: Example, yeah but you're crossing the boundary when you're playing. Ifirmation, well,

670
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: no sometimes you can your foot as in the other's. Box,

671
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 2: Yeah i've never Seen i've never seen, that but it's

672

674
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,480

00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: name call it, ugly The, jazzolino the.

676
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 2: JASMINE i don't think the dignifying.

677
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: THAT i don't, know it's just it was. Horrendous, ANYWAY

678
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: i want to get off that subject because it's right

679
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: take a break about.

680
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 2: That, Anyway let's take a, break allow you to emotionally,

681
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: recover and the. Rank you come back and talk about

682
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: a few other things, today including reader.

683
00:32:41,720 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 3: Questions so stay. Tanned, okay we're.

684
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: Back, Okay, CAITLIN i know you want to get a

685
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: Lit can we just talk a little bit about what

686
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: happened with The arkansas tennis program being shafted and gotten

687
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: rid Of just give me your quick thoughts about, this

688
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: because we talked about this after What patrick McEnroe's brought

689
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: up in his socials and on his podcast as. Well

690
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: AND i just like talking to you about this because

691
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: you're so, well first of, all you played college, tennis

692
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: and second of, all you're so smart with this sort of,

693
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: Stuff like what do you think about? That them just saying,

694
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: well you know, what it's essentially it's exactly what you

695
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: were talking. About it's, like, well what is? It are

696
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: we making money from sports or are we giving opportunities

697
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: on top of the fact that a lot of those

698
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: players on The arkansas team were also Not, american so

699
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a.

700
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: Quandary, yeah, listen when we published our piece about the

701
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: Disappearing american college tennis, player which Predated patrick McEnroe going

702
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 2: on a, rant but the timing was totally random to.

703
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: ME i just, thought you just Want patrick mcarhoe to know,

704
00:33:59,240 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: that don't.

705
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: You, well, well, listen maybe he read it and everyone

706
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: got riled. Up i'm thrilled and not surprised to be

707
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: setting the agenda with what we publish it racket only

708
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 2: because this obviously is in the ether and people are

709
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 2: thinking about. It when this Gentleman Mikhail anderson wrote me

710
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: maybe six months ago and was, like, HEY i really

711
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: want to do a deep, DIVE i, thought, ah this is.

712
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: Interesting nobody's talking about. This, sure let's see what. Happens

713
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: we published it and McEnroe ends up at A sec

714
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 2: tournament watching mostly foreign teams compete against each other under

715
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 2: the banner of state, universities and then it becomes a.

716
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 2: Topic so you, know, look, look tennis is never short

717
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 2: of things to think about and. Analyze, Now patrick mcinner

718
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 2: who's got on a News. MAX i probably would have

719
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 2: said no to that, one but also had some quotes AND,

720
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 2: I i, mean, listen you're trying to get your point.

721
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 2: OUT i guess you'd say yes to all media, invitations

722
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 2: BUT i personally would be a little more discriminating about

723
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 2: WHERE i. Appeared that, SAID.

724
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: I guess they're desperate cough for any content on News.

725
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 2: Max, well they certainly don't want to talk about what's going.

726
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: On they certainly don't want to talk about what's actually

727
00:34:58,880 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 1: happening in the. Country.

728
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,279

735
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about. POLITICS I. Ptsd it's like

736
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: me talking about women's DOUBLES.

737
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 2: Ptsd we have to limit it so that it doesn't

738
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 2: turn into a ramp, session which same.

739
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: We will turn. Into i've had a podcast With Jen. Wells.

740
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, see there's proper formats and channels for this sort of.

741
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 2: Discussion so, yeah wrapping it up on THE ncaa front

742
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: after this is published after pack and kind of makes

743
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 2: a big point about, it seemingly also Randomly, arkansas which

744
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: is in THE, SEC a TEAM i competed against WHEN

745
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: i played college tennis Pre missoo joining THE, SEC i should,

746
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 2: note announces it's not only killing it's men's, team but

747
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 2: also it's women's. Team and somebody put point out out

748
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 2: that almost neither team has a Single. AMERICAN i think

749
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 2: there's one on the men's, team women's not. Anymore now,

750
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: LISTEN i don't want to be a. NATIVIST i am

751
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 2: not a. Xenophobe, AGAIN i was not born in this,

752
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: country and neither were. YOU i do think it is

753
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 2: worth pointing out because a lot of the chatter that

754
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 2: accompanies these pieces is, about of, course it should be

755
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 2: a training ground For american tennis and for people to go,

756
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 2: pro and how Could americans get good reps if they

757
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 2: are not facing off against really good? Players and AGAIN

758
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: i would, argue let's reframe the. Conversation what is college sports?

759
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 2: About should also colleges be cutting their music? Programs should

760
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 2: they cut their arts? Programs do we want people who

761
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 2: only go to school and study one? Thing is that

762
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 2: the kind of society we want to live. In, AGAIN

763
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 2: i realized that this is maybe too elevated a conversation

764
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 2: to have when people just want to get angry about

765
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 2: seeing a bunch of names with foreign sounding last names

766
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 2: when they go to watch their. Tennis. Maybe but one

767
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 2: of the points THAT i want to bring up here

768
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: THAT i saw that it was actually very tangible is

769
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: In Mikhael anderson's piece for. Us he noted that when

770
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 2: teams have mostly foreign, rosters however great these kids, are

771
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 2: however awesome they. Are, AGAIN i played on a team

772
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 2: mostly foreign. Students some were incredible and some were. Not

773
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 2: they were, people, Right but it is very hard for

774
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: the teams to engender local fans and to get donors to.

775
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: Donate and that is truly the way a lot of

776
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: these sports teams because they have, foreigners, yes, Okay and

777
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 2: if the foreign kids are not able to stay and

778
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 2: maybe they don't want to stay and become members of the,

779
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: community then it becomes a situation where this is a

780
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 2: very transient. Experience you don't follow your favorite player for

781
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 2: four years and then they. Leave but rather if they

782
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 2: stay and become part of the community and maybe turn

783
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 2: around and. Coach it's a different. VIBE a lot of

784
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 2: college sports has to do with, boosters, donors people who

785
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: are fans in the local community college. Sports for what

786
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 2: the Point i'm making, is it is not for. MONEY

787
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 2: i realize that THE ncaa says that but doesn't mean,

788
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 2: it But i'm taking it at face value and suggesting

789
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 2: that in a world where college sports wasn't for, money

790
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 2: it wasn't for preparing people for the, pros it was

791
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: about creating well rounded, individuals because that is what they

792
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 2: say it, is then we should be thinking about it completely.

793
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 2: Differently and maybe this conversation has started to engender, that

794
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 2: but it's a little too late for The arkansas team.

795
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: Sadly, yeah, LISTEN i really do believe. That, yeah you

796
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: don't want to be a, gatekeeper like you, Said but

797
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: at the same, TIME i do believe That american colleges

798
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: should have a cap on how many foreigners can be

799
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: allowed on the. TEAM i, mean that just makes sense to.

800
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: Me and if you have a player that's not maybe

801
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: as good as the player you're bringing in from The

802
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: Czech republic or From germany or, whatever then that's too.

803
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: Bad you are the same as everybody else in every other,

804
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,919
Speaker 1: country every other. College SO i think the one way

805
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: to say BUT i THINK i think it's a bummer

806
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: that they're getting rid of the tennis program At. ARKANSAS

807
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: i think that's really. Shit but at the same, TIME

808
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: i think that, we THE usta in particular and THE

809
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: ncaa need to get together and, say, look let's try

810
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 1: and promote it because it is such a good system

811
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: to go and become a pro tennis. Player there's been

812
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: great tennis players that have come out of college, tennis

813
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: including my doubles Partner Lisa, raymond one of the best

814
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: best singles and doubles players to ever come out of

815
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: college without without a, doubt went To florida for two,

816
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: years dominated there and then went onto the. Tour Daniel,

817
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: collins you, Know john. McEnroe there's been a lot of

00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 2: Up here's something else THAT i think would be helpful

822
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 2: as a as a next, step regardless of whether you

823
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,719

Speaker 1: THEN i can see THEN i would get upset at

837
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: them taking away from tennis, players because Then i'd be, like,

838

Speaker 2: to let the ustre off the hook a little bit

856
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,440

Speaker 1: a tennis.

874
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 2: Stock they're all garbage because they are either executive produced

875
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 2: by the athletes themselves or their agents who have absolutely

876
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: no incentive to make them interesting or good or. Human

877
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 2: and this could not be more, different largely because you

878

Speaker 1: it was so. Bad he. Choked he was not happy

988
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: when he shook hands because he knows that he let

989
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: his opponent get away with, that because he is if

990
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: anyone else would have been standing next to the umpire

991
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: going bro tempo, LIKE i don't know how you say

998
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:41,919
Speaker 2: asked About paulini And irani's doubles, position so we got that. Covered,

999
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 2: okay a couple More stephen De, lan maybe that's not

1000
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 2: how you pronounce your, name But i'm going to go

1001
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 2: with The jacques De Laon french pronunciation in honor Of Ugo.

1002
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 2: Umbert AND i, mean Is yannick playing too much and

1003
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 2: risking peaking burnout injury before the Upcoming? SLAMS i don't think.

1004
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 2: So but you're the ex what do you?

1005
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: Think absolutely. Not if you feel you are playing really,

1006
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: well your body's, good you're mentally. Good it's a lot

1007
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,760
Speaker 1: more about mental to be honest with these, players it's

1008
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: like really mentally hard to keep backing it up every,

1009
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: day every, day every. Day so for, ME i think

1010
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: the bottom line is as long as he's surrounded by

1011
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: a great coaching, team he himself has been through this

1012
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: many many. Times he knows exactly what he's, doing and

1013
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: he may pull out of a tournament if he feels, like,

1014
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: Oh i've got enough tennis under my. Belt BUT i

1015
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: will say, this and we talked about a little bit

1016
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: at the. Start the more you play on, clay the

1017
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: better you get on. It and he is primed right

1018
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: now for The.

1019
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:41,919
Speaker 2: French, yeah a lot of questions about, INJURIES a, lot

1020
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 2: a lot that seemed to BE i, mean it's really

1021
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 2: indicative of how Much Carlos algoriz obviously has a fan.

1022
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 2: Chip YOU tjhd has a question About Jack. Draper his

1023
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 2: body is known to be, fragile but he's at the

1024
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 2: age supposedly two of a mature. Body why does he

1025
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 2: get injured because of his game. Style he works really

1026
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 2: hard to be strong and. Healthy what do you think right?

1027
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, LISTEN i mean some players just are predisposed

1028
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: to get. Injuries it's just it's just innately in your body,

1029
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: type you, know just a quick. Evaluation there was Like

1030
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,919
Speaker 1: Lisa raymond who played twenty years on, tour my old doubles,

1031
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: partner that bit never was. Injured it was like she

1032
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: had maybe two injuries her whole. Career she had an

1033
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 1: achilles problem one time and one time when we were

1034
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: Playing doublish he had and a cost into cost all in

1035
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: her like rib. Area but other than, that not a

1036
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: lot of. Injuries and she just it was just she was.

1037
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: Relaxed that's how she. Played Like Roger federer didn't have

1038
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries until the knee took him. Down,

1039
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 1: Really so it's like there's some players like A rafa

1040
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 1: who's like struggles all the. Time it's the way they.

1041
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: Play AND i THINK i Think drapes is really uptied

1042
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 1: on the. COURT i don't think that, helps you, know

1043
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: look At Krolyne, mouhova she can't go three weeks without

1044
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: getting injured or something like. That fingers, crossed that's not.

1045
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: Happening there's just some players that just have a predisposition

1046
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: to get. Injuries and whether it's there up it's a

1047
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: little bit too, uptight whether it's the way they, PLAY

1048
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: i don't. Know it's hard to, describe but, yeah it's

1049
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: a shame that he's certainly struggling with his.

1050
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 2: Career And julie asked a very similar. Question have you

1051
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 2: noticed a pattern of injuries across? Gender some injuries that

1052
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 2: tend to occur more with male players and, females wrist,

1053
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 2: men et. Cetera you know with Del potro team And

1054
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 2: carlos you were just talking About Jack. Draper what do

1055
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 2: you think is the gender component of this if, Any.

1056
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: YEAH i THINK i think if you look at through the,

1057
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: YEARS i think guys struggle with their groins a lot.

1058
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 1: Too they're not as quite as flexible in their hit

1059
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: flexes and that sort of. Area so you will see

1060
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: guys with a little bit more tendency to have like, hamstring,

1061
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: quads groin sort of maybe. Problems but, look it's a

1062
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: it's across the. Board we've had, many many women tennis,

1063
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: players including, myself have wrist. Injuries Conchita, Martinez i'm looking

1064
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: at her Because i'm Watching andreeva right. Now she had

1065
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: a couple of, injuries you, know to her wrist and you, know.

1066
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: Shoulders sometimes Women Maria sharapova could, say tend to not

1067
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: be made as strong in the shoulder, area got to

1068
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: do a lot more sort of work on the back

1069
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:10,360
