1
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: Well, welcome to the AO rap recapping the end of

2
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: each day's play. You're with the up Lake crew. I'm

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Brett Thomas.

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: And I'm Lexi Mitchell. Here's your quick hit from day four.

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: The Demon slays a Serbian giant and attendance records break

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: once again.

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: The number one seeds breeze through. AO Radio's Nat Edwards

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: will discuss the day session and Emma Radakanu' struggles on

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: the evening serve and the history that Mira Andreva doesn't

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: want to hear about.

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 3: Third round beckons, Yeah, they'll be working from home again.

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 4: Janovich's business trip is over.

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: Well, Alexi. We didn't know much about Hummad Majedovich before

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 1: his second round match tonight against Alex Dimenor, but they

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: won't be saying Hummed. Who about the Serbian?

16
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: Now, this is his first time in the Australian Open

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: main draw. But you identified as stat of him being

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: a very big hitter.

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, huge, in fact, the biggest on tour last year,

20
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: the highest WINNI per groundstroke rate on the tour. So

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: what does that mean? One in every ten groundstrokes was

22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: a winner and we saw that in.

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 2: The first set to That is an insane stat and that.

24
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: First said, he really took it up to demon Or

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: and it was clear that he wasn't just hitting the

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: ball big, but he'd done his homework as well.

27
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it was their first time playing each other. Neither

28
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: athlete got a breakpoint opportunity sent it to a tiebreak

29
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: Medjedovich up six to two. It looked like the Demon

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: might have been able to claw something back in that,

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 2: but the Serb ended up claiming the first set.

32
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: He certainly did and thought Jesus, there might be a

33
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: massive upset on the cards here. But the question was

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: going to be, at twenty two years of age, as

35
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: you said, making his AO debut, could he stick with

36
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: the Demon across a best of five sets, And pretty

37
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: clearly from the second set onwards, the answer was a

38
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: resounding no.

39
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's probably one of the toughest tasks is to

40
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: try to outlast the Demon, both in endurance and in

41
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: any sort of foot race. Often than not, the Demon

42
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: was coming up with some incredible play, getting shots that

43
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: you didn't think were possible.

44
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: And you could understand why he may have dropped his head.

45
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: And Layton Hewitt, of course, as part of demon All's team,

46
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: said that it looked like, you know, Majedovich had really

47
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: got into his head, and I think the crowd as well.

48
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of big learnings that the young

49
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: Serb will take out of tonight is that he'd never

50
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: beaten the Demon, as you said, no matter how big

51
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: he hit the ball, and what to do when the

52
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: crowd isn't on your side, which clearly it was going

53
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: to be pro Australian tonight.

54
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: And Alex had that maturity to manage a match like that.

55
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: His time on the tour was starting to pay off.

56
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: While the Serb was getting flustered, Alex was seeing the

57
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: finish line and running for it. In that fourth set,

58
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: he absolutely wanted to get it.

59
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 5: Just stay patient, whether the storm he was playing some

60
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 5: unbelievable tennis serving grade, hitting the ball from the baseline

61
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 5: really big and deep and not really allowing me to

62
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 5: do much. And ultimately, I just five. Match is a

63
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 5: long match, so there's going to be lots of chances,

64
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 5: and I took him, and I'm super happy to battle

65
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 5: my way through.

66
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: It was so important considering what's to come, wasn't it?

67
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: With the Demon that he did get through that match

68
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. After dropping the first set in almost an hour.

69
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, He's got Francis Tiafo next, potentially Bublick

70
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: in round four, and then the biggest of all tasks,

71
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: al KaAZ in a quarterfinal and.

72
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: The demon part of the punt for demon or has

73
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: been getting past the quarterfinal stage, hasn't it.

74
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.

75
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: So He's made five quarterfinals in the last eight attempts.

76
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: So I'm not sure can we realistically expect him to

77
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: get past a quarterfinal here knowing that it's Alcarez that

78
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: could be facing him.

79
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: Well, it's a little bit like when Leyton Hewitt kept

80
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: losing to Roger Federer in Grand Slams. He has to

81
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: come up against Alcarez and Sinner, which you know, the

82
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: two best players of this generation. So facing Alcarez, if

83
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: he gets there, is not going to be easy. But look,

84
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: he looks like a man on a mission. He serve

85
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: looks bigger than ever we know how well he moves.

86
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: Let's hope it he's the Demons, not just to get

87
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: through to a semi final, but to go perhaps even

88
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: one or two steps further than that.

89
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 7: It's a mirror masterclass this contest that promised so much

90
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 7: flickered and then died.

91
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of a star on the rise, mirror, Andreva, at

92
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: just eighteen years of age, absolutely wiped the court with

93
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: Maria Sakari tonight.

94
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was.

95
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: A very clean win over the former top three player

96
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: six love six'. Four sachary really struggled on. Serve she

97
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: landed eighty one percent of her first, serves but was

98
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 2: only winning two out of thirteen of those first serve

99
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: points in the first.

100
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: Set now that is, Crazy and how much pressure That

101
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: andreva was putting, on as he, said a player who's

102
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: been ranked as high as, three she's Made Grand slam

103
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: semi finals. Before to get her first serve in and

104
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: then just to see it come back the other way

105
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: with heat on, it it's just.

106
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: Extraordinary, yeah and she was having an influx of she

107
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: could not find her, Rhythm andreva winning eight straight games

108
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: in a. ROW i, Mean sachary momentarily found life in

109
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: the second, set capturing three games on the, trot but

110
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: then the same issues just. Resurfaced andreva finished off that

111
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: match quite, cleanly.

112
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: A comprehensive win. There but To Maria, sakari she doesn't

113
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: really walk away from The australian open completely empty. Handed

114
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: they don't give up prizes for a great, shot but

115
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: certainly she had a moment that we will never.

116
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: Forget, yeah well that around the post winner will forever be.

117
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: Immortalized now incredible That andreva doesn't turn nineteen Until, april

118
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: considering the milestone that she achieved.

119
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: Tonight so tonight she reached her Thirtieth Grand slam. Win

120
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: she's just the fourth player to do so since the

121
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,719

00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: eighteen year.

124
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: Old, now speaking of, history we know her form leading

125
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,000

133
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: Question put to her By Renee stubbs after the, match

134
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: and obviously this doesn't translate well on an audio, podcast

135
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: but she was covering her. Ear she didn't want to

136
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: hear about, it but this is her response to the

137
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,360

188
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: up started, losing blamed the crowd and had a bit

189
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,080

190
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,839

195
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,240

198
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,160

315
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 10: the day, and that, is Of Course that emma radakanu.

316
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 10: Is out now she's made headlines this week for a,

317
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 10: lot of reasons one of them being she had a

318
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 10: super Fan nickname Her Rado, and James bray the sydney

319
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 10: sider who came down got free tickets from her team.

320
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 10: To come today and now it seems that perhaps that.

321
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 6: WAS a curse. I, DON'T.

322
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 4: Know yeah i think it's so nice to, have super

323
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 4: fans but perhaps concentrating and focusing on the tennis there

324
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 4: seems to be a little bit of an. Issue at

325
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 4: times and maybe this is the way She works between

326
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 4: emma herself and a coach as to who says what and. Who,

327
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 4: DOES what yeah i mean. Sometimes it works she's had a.

328
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 4: NUMBER of coaches i can't actually, count that many but

329
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 4: has been a number and maybe that's just the way

330
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 4: she feels. Better about it she needs to have the

331
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 4: combative nature with her coach about discussing. How THINGS work

332
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 4: and i deal with a couple OF coaches that i,

333
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 4: know quite well and sometimes they say we're not there

334
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 4: as coaches where there is to, get the towels to

335
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 4: get the water, to BE blamed which i don't know

336
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 4: if they's taking a lot of.

337
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 10: Money for someone to do, that, For you right but

338
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 10: this is The, THING with emma i mean so. Up

339
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 10: and down she was Seated In a grand slam here

340

Speaker 10: she said in an interview leading, INTO the tournament i

342
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 10: think it was in the off seasons that she was

343
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 10: still searching for her identity as. A, tennis player yes

344
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 10: she burst onto the scene as an. Eighteen year old

345
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 10: SHE won the us openman.

346
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:04,600

Speaker 4: That, she's won well the Other thing with radakhanu was there,

349
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 4: is the curse certainly in the men's side of the

350
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: drawer That All, four grand slams the last four may

Speaker 10: fifty five that's a tough matchup For.

363
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 6: Someone, like eratikanu yeah.

364
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 4: Even when you have the, thirty two seeds because there

365
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 4: always used. To be sixteen but even when you have,

366
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 4: thirty two seeds you know what you're. Going to play

367
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 4: the thirty third player, you could do and someone who's

368
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 4: ranked about fifty's been higher than that and. It is better,

369
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 4: she's quite ferocious and she has a fractured finger on.

370
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 4: Her left hand yes she, is right handed but she

371
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 4: does have a. Double handed bay she's got a, fracture

372
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 4: in there and we, asked, her today well was that?

373
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 4: Still the same is? It still painful, it doesn't matter

374
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 4: nothing's going to happen or. JUST carry on. I love

375
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 4: that it's a fracture. In a bone i'm thinking for your,

376
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 4: DOUBLE handed back i have, to adjust it.

377
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 10: But, it's okay wow she's doing a great job of

378
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 10: adjusting it at the moment through to. The third round

379
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 10: how do you think she's going, to go though because

380
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 10: in the third round she meets None Other, than arena

381
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 10: sablanca who is trying to Win A third. AUSTRALIAN open title.

382
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 4: I think that's going to be a battle. For a

383
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 4: while it will be noisy. IN many ways I really

384
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 4: think pop will try and, out hit her or try

385
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 4: and hit just as. Hard for sometime now a lot

386
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 4: of players can hit As, hard as sabilanca but can

387
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 4: they do it? For as long can they actually do

388
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 4: it for three sets or potentially three sets they get

389
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 4: into a battle, For the rallies but it's just whether

390
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 4: they can keep doing that and be. Doing it consistently

391
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 4: so that's going to be the, real tist, consistent consistent,

392
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 4: rallies consistent power rather than just all hit one shot

393
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 4: hard or it came back, just as hard.

394
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 10: If, not harder now a Quick Apology to madison keys

404
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 10: of the tournament and.

405
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 6: Maybe a smoky well.

406
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,679

410
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 4: getting absolutely done and when more than you. Would have

411
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 4: thought it might have taken her a little while to

412
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 4: actually you have to find, herself as such while she

413
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: found her game and made it through, to the final

414
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 4: and the way that she seems to be enjoying life

415
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 4: at the moment seems. To help, her you know if

416
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 4: you're enjoying your life, off the court perhaps it's going

417
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 4: to help you enjoy it, on the court particularly if

418
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 4: you win. And she, is you know maybe. It's pretty,

419
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 4: obvious you know she's probably the third player when you come,

420
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 4: To most people You've got, saberl anka one maybe eager,

422
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,600

423
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 4: Playing very well, at the moment and, she could challenge,

424
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 4: if not beat everybody. Above and below so that's kind of. An, obvious,

425
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 4: one no well it might.

426
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 10: Not be obvious TO everyone because i don't think feel

427
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 10: like everyone's talking about her. In that way everyone's Still,

428
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 10: talking ABOUT sabalanca, and i mean even if you look

429
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 10: at the Men's That's Still. Ynixena carlis alcoraz we want

430
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 10: to see someone a little bit different with, it for.

431
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 6: Once, don't we yeah.

432
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 4: Well maybe not not those players fans, Like, that exactly

433
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 4: yeah you know, You, sort of yeah she's my player to. Actually.

434
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 4: Come through there there's a few other players that, you

435
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 4: ENJOY watching but i don't see too many others that

436
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 4: could really come through Other Than that. Medisine keys against

437
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 4: she's got to be in the zone because at times

438
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 4: she can be completely wayward, with her shots Like, the first,

439
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 4: yeah you know if she's in the zone and heading,

440
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 4: she's she's strong, she's real strong but she has to,

441
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 4: get that zone and sometimes the zone doesn't really arrive.

442
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 4: Until too late, SO you, know i, Think you know

443
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 4: keys is one. Of the players there's a few others

444
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 4: sort of that are, fun to watch but you can't

445
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 4: see them going through seven matches and the woman's draw,

446
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 4: But really eager well she's, made the semifinals but she

447
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 4: hasn't made The final here now this. Is one thing

448
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 4: and then you look over to the men's draw alcoraz

449
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 4: never made it past. The quarter, finals that's.

450
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 6: Astounding isn't it.

451
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 4: That's that's nuts and he's. Got to play, To My

452
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 4: reckoning tommy paul could beat him in the quarters. OR fourth,

453
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 4: round i think what do you?

454
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 6: Think that is is it more about it's the start.

455
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 6: Of the year he sort of takes a while. To

456
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 6: get going is it the surface? Or the heat?

457
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 4: What, is it Well You've got younick sinner. As a

458
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 4: MACHINE he's like i could almost compare it To A

459
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 4: roll as royce there call that just goes and keeps

460
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 4: going and is not. Going to change whereas you've Got

461
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 4: perhaps alcaraz as the sports car that, can do, anything

462
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 4: that's flamboyant can't, do any shot but it isn't. Quite,

463
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 4: as reliable, yeah you know you can't drive him at

464
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 4: thirty k's. Around the city now you've got to Go,

465
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 4: full of yeah you've got to go full on. Sort

466
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,719

Speaker 4: from young and old who. Were almost in tears some

532
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 4: of the older words watching someone. From their country compete

533
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 4: and this Is What perhaps the australian open, needs to

534
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,960

541
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,959

545
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,359

00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 4: that it was it, was a great atmosphere but it

548
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,719

549
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,600

550
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,480

00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 4: like yeah yeah this. Is the wrong crowd it. Was

552
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,959

553
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 4: she plays is going to have to, be on. A

554
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 4: big bigger court it was just like the. Ealer the

555
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 4: other day if she, had won that, match oh my

556
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,760

Speaker 4: move you sabolanca we're. Putting on one lad but that's.

558
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 4: The sort of thing these players are gaining SUCH enthusiastic

559
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 4: support that i think tournaments now have to, be, really

560
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 4: aware That oh, there's a Turkish player. There's the filipino

561
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 4: player it's fantastic to be around courts was it five

562
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 4: and seven? And six and eight where you can stand

563
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 4: up there and, look at either side although they have

564
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 4: to keep on shutting down the interest rate to court six.

565
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 4: Because it gets tipop i'm not sure about the weight

566
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 4: load that's, actually Allowed on there but i'm sure. Someone's

567
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 4: aware of that i'm.

568
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 10: Sure, they're across that no it is really brilliant how

569
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 10: they've increased the viewing platforms.

570
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 6: And THINGS like that but i guess sport, is that.

571
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 10: Great connector isn't it connects people, from different cultures together

572
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 10: and it connects people from the same culture together who

573
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 10: may not have normally.

574
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 6: Come ACROSS each other so i think it's. Such a

575
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 6: lovely thing there's.

576
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 4: A lot of Tennis fans now.

577
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 10: From turkey around, them well there, are and the camaraderie,

578
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 10: and that's the thing Because there might be turkish fans

579
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 10: here today who watch their first. Ear of tennis match

580
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,399

581
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 10: a turkish. Player not been there. You can't see that

582
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 10: you can't be. What you can't see so she might,

583
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 10: HAVE inspired someone else i think.

584
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 4: So now, ONE hundred and twelve i think she said

585
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 4: the tournament coming through qualifying and through, to the third

586
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 4: round which is going to take her, ranking well up

587
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,600
