1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: Oh oh, we're back.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 2: We're back. Oh my gosh, what a day, What a day.

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: Feel I'm exhausted, but exhilarated.

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: I'm exhausted, but I've got a camera roll that's never

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 2: looked better. Line. Oh my gosh, it's unbelievable. It looks

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 2: like AI.

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: It does look like AI, but it's just AO.

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: It is button.

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: I didn't even know.

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: We've never used that button before. Eagle shwantak. Yes, you

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: heard correctly, now dropping. She was in here and she

12
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: was in control of that whatever you call it she found. Yeah,

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: she played with a few things.

14
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: I think she found a bunch of new sound effects

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: I don't even know existed, So good for her. Today

16
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: was media.

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: Day, Media day.

18
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: We are still a couple of days out from the

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: tournament kicking off proper, and today was the day where

20
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: they turn players through the gauntlet of interviews. Yes, and

21
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: I have never had more stilted conversations in my life.

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: You warned me, You did warn me, and I thought,

23
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: how hard can it be? And then it happened, and

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, this this could be. This could

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: be a long day, and I think it felt really long.

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: Can we go into plays?

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: Well, I think like for the most part, I probably

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 3: can't say who was well hint the most painful.

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: Hint.

30
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: I think we did a total of twenty interviews.

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: Wasn't that many?

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: I think it was up there, and I mean, look,

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to say it, by far and away, the worst,

34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: most painful interview of the day was.

35
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 4: Look.

36
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: No, but I'm a big tennis geek, so I loved

37
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: meeting some players that I hadn't met yet doing other

38
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: promo things for the AO, so it was great to

39
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: play the one point.

40
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that was cool. I don't think I

41
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: won any matches. No, I think I've got a couple. Maybe.

42
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll do a super cut of all the sting palm.

43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: I did leave a massive welt on Taylor Fritz's back,

44
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: and our producer suggested that it's knocked him out of

45
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: the AO. Yeah, he's pulled out of the tournament with

46
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: a welt. But I mean, so many people were so

47
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: fun to talk to. The thing is, you get them

48
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: sometimes at the end of their tether on media day

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: and they're so sick of answering the same.

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: Time, can you imagine what they're saying about us? I

51
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: went into this podcastudio and this guy there, Mike's other

52
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: chicken what tracksuit, trying to talk to me. She was

53
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: trying to play table tennis. And then one of them

54
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: wanted to date me.

55
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did have a date scenario that went.

56
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: Para shape went absolutely.

57
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: So many interviews throughout the day. I kind of got

58
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: a little tired myself of asking people, what's the weirdest

59
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: thing you found in your tennis bag? We're going We're delirious.

60
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: We've been here all day. The players had a great

61
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: time because he did We're giving him something different. We

62
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: backed Yannick Center into a corner, asking him if he'd

63
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: ever hang out with Kim Jong un, and then one player,

64
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: in a very fun, you know vibe, suggested that we

65
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: should be further vetted by Craig Tyler.

66
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: I think our exact words were, you guys are going

67
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: to get canceled.

68
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. She asked whether Craig Tiley was across what was

69
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: happening here, and Craig, we know you're watching and listening

70
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: and you got our backs, but if you want to

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: fire us, maybe just Lizzie hey, because I just I

72
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: just love what you're doing.

73
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a big fan You're stylish. Your stylish, you cool.

74
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: It has been a long day. Craig Talley is stylish,

75
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: You're cool.

76
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 4: You're my guy.

77
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: Is it's the best. So yeah, playing ping pong with

78
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: some people that I've watched playing tennis for years was

79
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: both nerve wracking and awesome.

80
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: It was so cool. Yeah, I was better at the

81
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: ping pong. Then we got into champagne pong. At one point,

82
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: I missed the champagne pong. You did miss the champagne pong,

83
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: And that was probably the most mortifying moment of my life.

84
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: I thought one point slam was bad. Playing champagne pong

85
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: with Isla tom Lanovitch brutal.

86
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: Did you choke?

87
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: I've choked in all three games, Zi Zoo tom Lanovich

88
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: Ani Simova. I I was I wasn't even hitting the table. Sometimes,

89
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: what's happened?

90
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: Because you were you drinking?

91
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 2: I'm sober? Oh wow, I know this is bad. And

92
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: Isla was like, wow, you're really bad at this. It's

93
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 2: been a long day.

94
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: It's been a long day. But some great player interviews.

95
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: We're gonna be kind of drip feeding those out. We'll

96
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: be doing kind of a super cut of all the

97
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: pain pong, stingpong whatever. Maybe I'm the only one that

98
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: calls it.

99
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 2: Because there were a lot of Americans in here today

100
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: and most of them called it stingpong.

101
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: We'll just stick with stingpong from here on out. And

102
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: I noticed people were taking it easy on you when

103
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: you would.

104
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: Lose a point, which I didn't appreciate. But I took

105
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: it easy on Eliza the other day, so maybe that

106
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: it does feel weird when you're hitting a ball at

107
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: a woman.

108
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially one who's crying.

109
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Especially they're probably like, we couldn't hit it while

110
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: she's down. She's really bad at this.

111
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: She'll be perfect.

112
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,360

00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: they had one each.

161
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: Okay, right, I think Barrettini's I know they've both had injuries,

162
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: but Barrettini maybe struggled more with some physical issues in

163
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: the past year. And then also the home field and Vanta.

164
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 2: Is it an advantage though?

165
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: Why not?

166
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: Because I think sometimes there's too much pressure, right, But we.

167
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: Had him in here today. He's chill.

168
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, great track suit, great track suit, got.

169
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: The threads on some of the and I'm here wearing

170
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: a headband, cotton on T shirt. Uh. In the men's draw,

171
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: some matches I'm looking forward to. You got to talk

172
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: about the hometown players. Tristan school Kate has a tough draw.

173
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: He's playing Quarantine Mouta, the wiley Frenchman. What do you

174
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: think I think is going to take that. He's real slicy,

175
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: real tricky. He's really gonna put a lot of pressure

176
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: on school Kate. And yeah, it's a tough one, and

177
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: I think all the Aussies kind of have a tough draw.

178
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Thompson is playing Cerrendolo, so that could be tough

179
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,599
Speaker 1: for Jordan. I think he comes through that one. So

180
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: these are just the Sunday and Eye matches. There's so

181
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: much look forward to. Another Koobler, a qualifier, Australian qualifier

182
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: is playing Francis Tfo.

183
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 2: I know that's hard. The most Australians to qualifying.

184
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, for this Open, that's huge, I know. And it

185
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: looks like none of them will get through the first round.

186
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 2: Brutal coming from an America.

187
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, that's all right. And then another Australian, Walton,

188
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: is up against Alcarez in the first round at Rod

189
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: Laver Arena.

190
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: I mean, what a moment though, Yeah, oh yeah, it's huge.

191
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah to play Alcoraz.

192
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: I know, center court, are you going to go. Are

193
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: you gonna be out there supporting the Aussies? Yeah?

194
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 2: O o OI all the way. Have you thought of

195
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: a new you know what I'm thinking? We just sing

196
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: ac DC songs.

197
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you think it's thunderstrung? Yeah, school Kate.

198
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: What's the Dallas Cowboy? He's a CDC song.

199
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys a CDC song?

200
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that the one they danced to. You

201
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: didn't watch Dallas Cowboys, no cheerleading documentary.

202
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: I did, but with the sound off.

203
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 2: And my door clubs.

204
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: A couple other matches that are leaping out at me

205
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,479
Speaker 1: from the men's draw. One of my favorite players, Alexander

206
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: Bublick is playing Jensen Brooksby of America.

207
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 2: Oh this you torn?

208
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: Torn?

209
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 2: What are you thinking?

210
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: I think Bublick takes that one. I love the boob,

211
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: I love the lick.

212
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

213
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: And then just quickly, I'll have a look at the

214
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: Monday Ones. Caspar Rude playing Baluchi. That's worth watching. There's

215
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: an all American match Leerner TN again Mark against Marcus Kuran.

216
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're gonna watch it.

217
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna watch it. I love Lerner t.

218
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: If you watch him play it, yeah, he's fun, he's fine.

219
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: Who do you? Who do you picking that one? Tien

220
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: over Marcus gran and that our personal best friend after today.

221
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: Grigor Dimitrov is against Thomas Mahach always got his name

222
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: around a Chuck mahawk. He wears tiny shorts. That's all

223
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: I know.

224
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: We love a king.

225
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: Are you gonna go Gregor in that one? Just yeah?

226
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: Great? Watch?

227
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

228
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: And he was he was a great hang as well.

229
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: He was a good hang. He was good value. Ben

230
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: Shelton against Ugo Humbert and I've learned it's we can't

231
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: call anyone named Ugo Ugo. Do you remember the guy

232
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: that cut his hair? It's what they prefer Ugo.

233
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: Yes, did someone come?

234
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? The all the Ugos come after me. Hard Jokovic

235
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: is up against Pedro Martinez, who got deep in the

236
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: one point slam the other day. But I stilln't feel

237
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: like Jokovic has that in the bag. That's gonna be

238
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: an he bet for you. Oh, this will be a

239
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: good match. Sinner is playing Hugo Gaston. Cinner is going

240
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: to be the heavy favorite in that one, but huge, huge,

241
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,239
Speaker 1: Hugo Gaston is another French guy with a very unorthodox

242
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: game a lot of slices, a lot of just trick shots.

243
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, that'll be a good one to watch. And

244
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: then of course stan Varenka playing Laslo Jier.

245
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 2: Stand the man. We hope he goes through. Yeah, we

246
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: want a little bit of a sendoff.

247
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. It's his last time at the AO.

248
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: This is the last one I'll ask you about. In

249
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: the men's draw for the first round, local boy Sweeney

250
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: against Gale moon Fees. That's hard, hard. They're both so likable,

251
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: both these players.

252
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: But I mean, but yeah, I think I'm gonna go Sweeney.

253
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: I think Sweeney, Yeah, I mean, I just want it

254
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 2: in the the crowd behind it.

255
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, one of the most likable players.

256
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the best of all time. All right, and

257
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: I'm going with my heart. I'm going with my Aussie.

258
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: Price Sweeney over gailmand Fees. You heard it here, all right.

259
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: And then Lizzie going through the women's.

260
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: All right, and looking at the women's drawer. Here people

261
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: that I would want to watch if I if I

262
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: could watch all of these, Paulini.

263
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I love her, Jasmine Paulini taking on Sasnovich.

264
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: So you like Paulini and that Pauline's Paulini seated seventh

265
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: and looks like Sasnovich unseated, so the heavy favorite. Definitely,

266
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: I'd see Marta Costjak against Jacques mo and Marta costjac

267
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: propositioned me for a date when she was in here

268
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: for the interview gossip for everybody. Oh she did.

269
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: She actually came back looking for you.

270
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah.

271
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: She was like, Ah, that guy, the tall one, the

272
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: weird heads, is he still around? Like, I don't know

273
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: where he is, honey.

274
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: Brutal, brutal stuff. So anyone else sleeps out at you?

275
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: From the women's Venus Williams, she's back.

276
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: Yes, I really want to watch it.

277
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Danilovich, who are you picking that one?

278
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: I'm going Williams. I'm going with my heart.

279
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. I could be wrong, but I think Danilovitch came

280
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: through qualifiers, so she must be in good form. I

281
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I want Venus to win, you know,

282
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: you want her to have She keeps playing. She's older

283
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: than us, she.

284
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: Looks good, she looks great. Okay, I'm gonna go. We've

285
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: got Gibson, Alia Gibson.

286
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: God. The women's draw. It's hard to pick, honestly, like

287
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: some of these names. Sabalnka in her first round is

288
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: playing Raca Tomeonga Ra Jonah. I mean, what are the

289
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: odds on Rakka Ma Tone Jonah.

290
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: Let's go Monday.

291
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: Can we predict a double bagel?

292
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: Let's go Monday? All right, a game. I'm looking forward

293
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: to Leila Fernandez Firsus Genie Tian.

294
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, Leila Fernandez. I like Leila, who, of

295
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: course played Emma Radikanu in that US Open final from

296
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: a few years ago, and both, you know, we're so

297
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: likable and so awesome, and then Rata Khanu just edged

298
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: her out. But Fernandez has been a stayer on the circuit.

299
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, she looks strong. Yeah, she's good. But I really

300
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: there's a lot of hype around this Indonesian player.

301
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm going with her the Indonesian players, Yeah.

302
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I know, I'm going for a lot of first

303
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: round upsets.

304
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: Right. I love the confidence there, even though you're unsure

305
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: how to pura.

306
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: What about the Canadian Moboco?

307
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she is in red hot form. Moboco took

308
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: out Madison Keys at the Adelaide International.

309
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: She looks very good up against Emerson Jones and now

310
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 2: I do want to go with my heart here, but

311
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to go with the Canadian. Okay,

312
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: she's looking good. I think like she's going to go

313
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: far in this competition, right. Yeah.

314
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: Uh, there's a player here who I'm aware of, volley Nets.

315
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: I think it's Katie volley NEETs.

316
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: It sounds like a tennis brand.

317
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: It's really, you know, uh self fulfilling prophecy.

318
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: What else could she have done?

319
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: There was a guy a few years ago Tennis Sangrin

320
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: Tennis sang. His first name was Tennis and he was

321
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,120

Speaker 1: this one's great. Carolina Plishkova against our very own Sloan

323
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,400

Speaker 2: We had her in here and we loved her.

326
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: She was the best.

327
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: She was great. I'm obviously going to go for Sloan.

328
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: You're going for Sloan against the big hitter, Carolina Piskva.

329
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 2: I want to see Sloan through. Speaking of great names,

330
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: Storm Hunter what a name. Yeah? Got through the qualifiers?

331
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: Yeah she did? And so who is she up against?

332
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: Jay Boozas?

333
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: Okay, Jay Bozzaz Jay boos as Oh bo Jessica Jessica

335
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: in the first round. Ego's seated number two. Some interesting

336
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: news about Ego, Yeah, I heard.

337
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: It in the corridors. A lot of whisky goss up

338
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 2: happening out there. But apparently in a press conference one

339
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: of the reporters said, oh, you know, in the third

340
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 2: or fourth round, you could play this person or this person,

341
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: and Eiger wasn't happy about that. She did not want

342
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: to know who she could potentially play. She's just looking

343
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: what's in front of her, right, Yeah.

344
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: Makes sense. There's a lot of players like that that

345
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: don't want to know the jraw. They just want to

346
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: show up and play.

347
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.

348
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 3: Right.

349
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,280

00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? That's amazing. I think did you not ask her?

392
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 2: been throwing out the shells anywhere. He's just been putting

393
00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 2: them back in the box.

394
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,800

00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: so you said, ala am I saying that right, Yeah,

473
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: it's okay, which translates to little one, little one, right,

474
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: and you're happy with that, next, dame.

475
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 4: I mean, it's okay. My family said that to me

476
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 4: when I was young, because I not because of my size,

477
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 4: because of I was the little of the family. And

478
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 4: then I don't know why, my friends start to repeat it.

479
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 4: And then you know, on court in Buenos Aires, especially

480
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 4: in the ATP during February, people listen to my friends,

481
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 4: listen to family, and they start to repeat, you know,

482
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 4: and yeah.

483
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 2: Here, so that's what your family and friends call you too?

484
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, well no they they they said to me some

485
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 4: some friends. They called me by my second name, Sev, Like.

486
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, my family just called me packer, packer Americans. It's

487
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: not nice. And I didn't want to say this, but

488
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: our boss Shannon said to tell you, we found your tennis.

489
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 4: Right as soon as as soon as I said, I

490
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 4: was thinking, okay, this is my racket.

491
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: This has nothing to do with you.

492
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 4: She just gave us.

493
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: So who's your pick for the Australian Open twenty twenty six.

494
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 4: It's difficult to say, but I think Senor and Alcoraz

495
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 4: right now are a little bit, you know, a few steps, yeah,

496
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 4: the to the rest. They show unreal tennis. Last year

497
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 4: I went to Turin and I saw their level and

498
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 4: it's crazy in another step. But I don't know this year.

499
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 4: Always when you start Australian Open, it's for many the

500
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 4: first tournament, so it's so difficult to play the first tournament.

501
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 4: But these guys always do well, so let's see.

502
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, but is there someone outside of Alcohorazer Center, like

503
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: a dark horse that you could see getting through the

504
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: draw and making it at least to the final.

505
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 4: Difficult to say, but like a new name, I hope Fonseca.

506
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 4: But I like him also for South America, being Argentina,

507
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 4: he's Brazilian, but being South American. For US, it's very

508
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 4: important to have one very far. I think he's going

509
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 4: to have a great year, so maybe there is a

510
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 4: chance to start well. But he pulled out the first tournament,

511
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 4: so let's see how he is, you know, physically.

512
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: What did you watch the one point slap?

513
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm part of the organization right now, part of

514
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 4: Tennis Ausia. After the Yeah, did you love it?

515
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 2: Were you jealous?

516
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: I love it?

517
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: No?

518
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 4: No, I don't miss the court, to be honest, but

519
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 4: I think it was an important event for the people

520
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 4: who is watching at home, you know Argentina, I mean

521
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 4: South America. When when I wake up today and I

522
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 4: saw all the the streamers and everyone, you know, repeating

523
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 4: the highlights and talking about this. They they never spoke

524
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 4: about tennis before. Now they are speaking, you know, like

525
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 4: what the fuck? An amateur guy with a million dollars?

526
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyone could have won.

527
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing, like they should. Jordan Smith, a

528
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: guy who wanted don't you think he should get a

529
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: wild card into the main draw.

530
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 4: Now it's okay like this he won a yeah as

531
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 4: much just won the prizes, Yeah, unbelievable, but I think

532
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 4: the band was nice. People enjoyed. This is the most

533
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 4: important thing. But also the players. I spoke today just

00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 4: trying to to have a feedback from the players and everyone.
