WEBVTT - CRAIG TILEY IS STYLISH

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:02.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh, we're back.

0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:05.520
<v Speaker 2>We're back. Oh my gosh, what a day, What a day.

0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Feel I'm exhausted, but exhilarated.

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm exhausted, but I've got a camera roll that's never

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:17.800
<v Speaker 2>looked better. Line. Oh my gosh, it's unbelievable. It looks

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:18.240
<v Speaker 2>like AI.

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>It does look like AI, but it's just AO.

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 2>It is button.

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even know.

0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>We've never used that button before. Eagle shwantak. Yes, you

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 2>heard correctly, now dropping. She was in here and she

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 2>was in control of that whatever you call it she found. Yeah,

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 2>she played with a few things.

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I think she found a bunch of new sound effects

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know existed, So good for her. Today

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:47.200
<v Speaker 1>was media.

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Day, Media day.

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>We are still a couple of days out from the

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>tournament kicking off proper, and today was the day where

0:00:54.800 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>they turn players through the gauntlet of interviews. Yes, and

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I have never had more stilted conversations in my life.

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 2>You warned me, You did warn me, and I thought,

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 2>how hard can it be? And then it happened, and

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, this this could be. This could

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 2>be a long day, and I think it felt really long.

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Can we go into plays?

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think like for the most part, I probably

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 3>can't say who was well hint the most painful.

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 2>Hint.

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.479
<v Speaker 1>I think we did a total of twenty interviews.

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't that many?

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it was up there, and I mean, look,

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say it, by far and away, the worst,

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>most painful interview of the day was.

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 4>Look.

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>No, but I'm a big tennis geek, so I loved

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>meeting some players that I hadn't met yet doing other

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>promo things for the AO, so it was great to

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>play the one point.

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, that was cool. I don't think I

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 2>won any matches. No, I think I've got a couple. Maybe.

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll do a super cut of all the sting palm.

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I did leave a massive welt on Taylor Fritz's back,

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>and our producer suggested that it's knocked him out of

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the AO. Yeah, he's pulled out of the tournament with

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>a welt. But I mean, so many people were so

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>fun to talk to. The thing is, you get them

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>sometimes at the end of their tether on media day

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>and they're so sick of answering the same.

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Time, can you imagine what they're saying about us? I

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>went into this podcastudio and this guy there, Mike's other

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 2>chicken what tracksuit, trying to talk to me. She was

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>trying to play table tennis. And then one of them

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 2>wanted to date me.

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we did have a date scenario that went.

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Para shape went absolutely.

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>So many interviews throughout the day. I kind of got

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 1>a little tired myself of asking people, what's the weirdest

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>thing you found in your tennis bag? We're going We're delirious.

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>We've been here all day. The players had a great

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 1>time because he did We're giving him something different. We

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>backed Yannick Center into a corner, asking him if he'd

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 1>ever hang out with Kim Jong un, and then one player,

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>in a very fun, you know vibe, suggested that we

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>should be further vetted by Craig Tyler.

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I think our exact words were, you guys are going

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 2>to get canceled.

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. She asked whether Craig Tiley was across what was

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>happening here, and Craig, we know you're watching and listening

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>and you got our backs, but if you want to

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>fire us, maybe just Lizzie hey, because I just I

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>just love what you're doing.

0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm a big fan You're stylish. Your stylish, you cool.

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 2>It has been a long day. Craig Talley is stylish,

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 2>You're cool.

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 4>You're my guy.

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Is it's the best. So yeah, playing ping pong with

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>some people that I've watched playing tennis for years was

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>both nerve wracking and awesome.

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>It was so cool. Yeah, I was better at the

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.720
<v Speaker 2>ping pong. Then we got into champagne pong. At one point,

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 2>I missed the champagne pong. You did miss the champagne pong,

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 2>And that was probably the most mortifying moment of my life.

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I thought one point slam was bad. Playing champagne pong

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 2>with Isla tom Lanovitch brutal.

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Did you choke?

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 2>I've choked in all three games, Zi Zoo tom Lanovich

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Ani Simova. I I was I wasn't even hitting the table. Sometimes,

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>what's happened?

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Because you were you drinking?

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm sober? Oh wow, I know this is bad. And

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Isla was like, wow, you're really bad at this. It's

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:03.600
<v Speaker 2>been a long day.

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>It's been a long day. But some great player interviews.

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna be kind of drip feeding those out. We'll

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>be doing kind of a super cut of all the

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:17.480
<v Speaker 1>pain pong, stingpong whatever. Maybe I'm the only one that

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 1>calls it.

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.239
<v Speaker 2>Because there were a lot of Americans in here today

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 2>and most of them called it stingpong.

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 1>We'll just stick with stingpong from here on out. And

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I noticed people were taking it easy on you when

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>you would.

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Lose a point, which I didn't appreciate. But I took

0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 2>it easy on Eliza the other day, so maybe that

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>it does feel weird when you're hitting a ball at

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 2>a woman.

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, especially one who's crying.

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Especially they're probably like, we couldn't hit it while

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 2>she's down. She's really bad at this.

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:50.160
<v Speaker 1>She'll be perfect.

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Tennis, no way.

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to another episode of Pod labor Arena. Once again,

<v Speaker 2>How good?

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>But at least no, like I would love to hear

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he is awesome, but Yeah, it's been a big day,

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.920

<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, he is coming up against Matteo Barretini in

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the first round. I mean, speaking of punks, Baratini is

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>right up there with the top hounk.

<v Speaker 2>five hunks. Well, this is a mix, is not like

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 2>one I think al Choraz. Who else do we have

<v Speaker 2>in today? Grigor h Gregor, go ahead, Watch of the day?

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Everything about Everyone came in with their watches. Yeah, I

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 2>was eyeing the watches.

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Gregor was sitting right next to me, and I felt

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>pregnant afterwards.

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, my over reason, Voom voom.

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Top three watches of the day.

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Who did you think? There are a couple of girl.

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm gonna have to go back through my pitches.

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 2>That's all right, let's can that segment?

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, can top three watches, but stay tuned for our

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>new segment Watch Watch. The draw is out, I'll just

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>quickly scan it through the men's draw and see what

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 1>pops out at me. And if you're doing the bracket

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 1>challenge at home, I'm going to go through the men's

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 1>singles draw and just talk about some matches that pop

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>out at me. Lizzie, you'll be looking at the women's

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>draw after this. As discussed before, Demon are Barrettini. That's

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.439
<v Speaker 1>a real highlight of an opening.

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, that's a tough match Demon Demon. Yeah.

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Although I did look at the matchups last year and

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 2>they had one each.

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, right, I think Barrettini's I know they've both had injuries,

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 1>but Barrettini maybe struggled more with some physical issues in

0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the past year. And then also the home field and Vanta.

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Is it an advantage though?

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Why not?

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Because I think sometimes there's too much pressure, right, But we.

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Had him in here today. He's chill.

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, great track suit, great track suit, got.

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.200
<v Speaker 1>The threads on some of the and I'm here wearing

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 1>a headband, cotton on T shirt. Uh. In the men's draw,

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.319
<v Speaker 1>some matches I'm looking forward to. You got to talk

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>about the hometown players. Tristan school Kate has a tough draw.

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>He's playing Quarantine Mouta, the wiley Frenchman. What do you

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 1>think I think is going to take that. He's real slicy,

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>real tricky. He's really gonna put a lot of pressure

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>on school Kate. And yeah, it's a tough one, and

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I think all the Aussies kind of have a tough draw.

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Thompson is playing Cerrendolo, so that could be tough

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.599
<v Speaker 1>for Jordan. I think he comes through that one. So

0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 1>these are just the Sunday and Eye matches. There's so

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>much look forward to. Another Koobler, a qualifier, Australian qualifier

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.200
<v Speaker 1>is playing Francis Tfo.

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.839
<v Speaker 2>I know that's hard. The most Australians to qualifying.

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for this Open, that's huge, I know. And it

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>looks like none of them will get through the first round.

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Brutal coming from an America.

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, no, that's all right. And then another Australian, Walton,

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 1>is up against Alcarez in the first round at Rod

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Laver Arena.

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what a moment though, Yeah, oh yeah, it's huge.

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah to play Alcoraz.

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I know, center court, are you going to go. Are

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you gonna be out there supporting the Aussies? Yeah?

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.439
<v Speaker 2>O o OI all the way. Have you thought of

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 2>a new you know what I'm thinking? We just sing

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 2>ac DC songs.

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, what do you think it's thunderstrung? Yeah, school Kate.

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.200
<v Speaker 2>What's the Dallas Cowboy? He's a CDC song.

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Cowboys a CDC song?

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know that the one they danced to. You

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't watch Dallas Cowboys, no cheerleading documentary.

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I did, but with the sound off.

0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:16.079
<v Speaker 2>And my door clubs.

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 1>A couple other matches that are leaping out at me

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:27.479
<v Speaker 1>from the men's draw. One of my favorite players, Alexander

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Bublick is playing Jensen Brooksby of America.

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh this you torn?

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Torn?

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:34.319
<v Speaker 2>What are you thinking?

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I think Bublick takes that one. I love the boob,

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I love the lick.

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 1>And then just quickly, I'll have a look at the

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Monday Ones. Caspar Rude playing Baluchi. That's worth watching. There's

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>an all American match Leerner TN again Mark against Marcus Kuran.

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:55.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, you're gonna watch it.

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm gonna watch it. I love Lerner t.

0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 2>If you watch him play it, yeah, he's fun, he's fine.

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Who do you? Who do you picking that one? Tien

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>over Marcus gran and that our personal best friend after today.

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Grigor Dimitrov is against Thomas Mahach always got his name

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.080
<v Speaker 1>around a Chuck mahawk. He wears tiny shorts. That's all

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I know.

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:19.080
<v Speaker 2>We love a king.

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Are you gonna go Gregor in that one? Just yeah?

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Great? Watch?

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 2>And he was he was a great hang as well.

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>He was a good hang. He was good value. Ben

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Shelton against Ugo Humbert and I've learned it's we can't

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:38.199
<v Speaker 1>call anyone named Ugo Ugo. Do you remember the guy

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 1>that cut his hair? It's what they prefer Ugo.

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, did someone come?

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? The all the Ugos come after me. Hard Jokovic

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.319
<v Speaker 1>is up against Pedro Martinez, who got deep in the

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 1>one point slam the other day. But I stilln't feel

0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.319
<v Speaker 1>like Jokovic has that in the bag. That's gonna be

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.559
<v Speaker 1>an he bet for you. Oh, this will be a

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:06.200
<v Speaker 1>good match. Sinner is playing Hugo Gaston. Cinner is going

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 1>to be the heavy favorite in that one, but huge, huge,

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:14.239
<v Speaker 1>Hugo Gaston is another French guy with a very unorthodox

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:18.199
<v Speaker 1>game a lot of slices, a lot of just trick shots.

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that'll be a good one to watch. And

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 1>then of course stan Varenka playing Laslo Jier.

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.959
<v Speaker 2>Stand the man. We hope he goes through. Yeah, we

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 2>want a little bit of a sendoff.

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think so. It's his last time at the AO.

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.079
<v Speaker 1>This is the last one I'll ask you about. In

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the men's draw for the first round, local boy Sweeney

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:46.840
<v Speaker 1>against Gale moon Fees. That's hard, hard. They're both so likable,

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:47.720
<v Speaker 1>both these players.

0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, but yeah, I think I'm gonna go Sweeney.

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 2>I think Sweeney, Yeah, I mean, I just want it

0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.199
<v Speaker 2>in the the crowd behind it.

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, one of the most likable players.

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's the best of all time. All right, and

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm going with my heart. I'm going with my Aussie.

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Price Sweeney over gailmand Fees. You heard it here, all right.

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 1>And then Lizzie going through the women's.

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, and looking at the women's drawer. Here people

0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 2>that I would want to watch if I if I

0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 2>could watch all of these, Paulini.

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I love her, Jasmine Paulini taking on Sasnovich.

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>So you like Paulini and that Pauline's Paulini seated seventh

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 1>and looks like Sasnovich unseated, so the heavy favorite. Definitely,

0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I'd see Marta Costjak against Jacques mo and Marta costjac

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 1>propositioned me for a date when she was in here

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 1>for the interview gossip for everybody. Oh she did.

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 2>She actually came back looking for you.

0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh yeah.

0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.320
<v Speaker 2>She was like, Ah, that guy, the tall one, the

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 2>weird heads, is he still around? Like, I don't know

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 2>where he is, honey.

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Brutal, brutal stuff. So anyone else sleeps out at you?

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 1>From the women's Venus Williams, she's back.

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I really want to watch it.

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Danilovich, who are you picking that one?

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm going Williams. I'm going with my heart.

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I could be wrong, but I think Danilovitch came

0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:30.560
<v Speaker 1>through qualifiers, so she must be in good form. I

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I mean, I want Venus to win, you know,

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you want her to have She keeps playing. She's older

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:38.520
<v Speaker 1>than us, she.

0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Looks good, she looks great. Okay, I'm gonna go. We've

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 2>got Gibson, Alia Gibson.

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.200
<v Speaker 1>God. The women's draw. It's hard to pick, honestly, like

0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.560
<v Speaker 1>some of these names. Sabalnka in her first round is

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 1>playing Raca Tomeonga Ra Jonah. I mean, what are the

0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 1>odds on Rakka Ma Tone Jonah.

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's go Monday.

0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Can we predict a double bagel?

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's go Monday? All right, a game. I'm looking forward

0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 2>to Leila Fernandez Firsus Genie Tian.

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, yeah, Leila Fernandez. I like Leila, who, of

0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 1>course played Emma Radikanu in that US Open final from

0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 1>a few years ago, and both, you know, we're so

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 1>likable and so awesome, and then Rata Khanu just edged

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 1>her out. But Fernandez has been a stayer on the circuit.

0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she looks strong. Yeah, she's good. But I really

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of hype around this Indonesian player.

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so I'm going with her the Indonesian players, Yeah.

0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I know, I'm going for a lot of first

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 2>round upsets.

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Right. I love the confidence there, even though you're unsure

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:45.920
<v Speaker 1>how to pura.

0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 2>What about the Canadian Moboco?

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, she is in red hot form. Moboco took

0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.960
<v Speaker 1>out Madison Keys at the Adelaide International.

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 2>She looks very good up against Emerson Jones and now

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:06.359
<v Speaker 2>I do want to go with my heart here, but

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.679
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm going to go with the Canadian. Okay,

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:10.720
<v Speaker 2>she's looking good. I think like she's going to go

0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:12.840
<v Speaker 2>far in this competition, right. Yeah.

0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.359
<v Speaker 1>Uh, there's a player here who I'm aware of, volley Nets.

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 1>I think it's Katie volley NEETs.

0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like a tennis brand.

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 1>It's really, you know, uh self fulfilling prophecy.

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 2>What else could she have done?

0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 1>There was a guy a few years ago Tennis Sangrin

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Tennis sang. His first name was Tennis and he was

0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:36.120
<v Speaker 1>from This is not a lot of Tennessee great, that's true. Oh,

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:40.679
<v Speaker 1>this one's great. Carolina Plishkova against our very own Sloan

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Stevens and I say that, oh well, and podlavor Arena's

0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:44.880
<v Speaker 1>very own.

0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:47.639
<v Speaker 2>We had her in here and we loved her.

0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:48.400
<v Speaker 1>She was the best.

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 2>She was great. I'm obviously going to go for Sloan.

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:55.000
<v Speaker 1>You're going for Sloan against the big hitter, Carolina Piskva.

0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.679
<v Speaker 2>I want to see Sloan through. Speaking of great names,

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Storm Hunter what a name. Yeah? Got through the qualifiers?

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah she did? And so who is she up against?

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Jay Boozas?

0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Jay Bozzaz Jay boos as Oh bo Jessica Jessica

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 1>boo Oh. Also Ega Shavontek is taking on you on

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 1>in the first round. Ego's seated number two. Some interesting

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 1>news about Ego, Yeah, I heard.

0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 2>It in the corridors. A lot of whisky goss up

0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.719
<v Speaker 2>happening out there. But apparently in a press conference one

0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.480
<v Speaker 2>of the reporters said, oh, you know, in the third

0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:37.680
<v Speaker 2>or fourth round, you could play this person or this person,

0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.280
<v Speaker 2>and Eiger wasn't happy about that. She did not want

0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 2>to know who she could potentially play. She's just looking

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 2>what's in front of her, right, Yeah.

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.119
<v Speaker 1>Makes sense. There's a lot of players like that that

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:48.879
<v Speaker 1>don't want to know the jraw. They just want to

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 1>show up and play.

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's true.

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:50.879
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Well I did ask Ela tom Lenovitch today who are

0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:56.120
<v Speaker 2>you looking for to playing? And she said what kind

0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:56.840

<v Speaker 1>Very clever? Pat Raftor's name falls into a would you

0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 1>rather scenario? But it's just we're asking doubles partners for

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:36.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people. We'd put two people up on

0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the screen and who would you rather hang out with?

0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:42.400

<v Speaker 1>I think. Yeah. But he has set up his own

0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:26.840

<v Speaker 2>occasions too for us to eat his pistachios. He's always

0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:46.879
<v Speaker 2>trying to push these pistachios.

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:52.040
<v Speaker 1>What uh, how exactly are the pistachios presented to us?

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:55.919
<v Speaker 2>They're presented in their original plastic box. And he hasn't

0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:58.359
<v Speaker 2>been throwing out the shells anywhere. He's just been putting

0:21:58.400 --> 0:21:59.399
<v Speaker 2>them back in the box.

0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:02.800

<v Speaker 1>and you're happy with that, next, dame.

0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:22.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's okay. My family said that to me

0:26:22.600 --> 0:26:25.200
<v Speaker 4>when I was young, because I not because of my size,

0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:28.159
<v Speaker 4>because of I was the little of the family. And

0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:31.159
<v Speaker 4>then I don't know why, my friends start to repeat it.

0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:34.760
<v Speaker 4>And then you know, on court in Buenos Aires, especially

0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:40.240
<v Speaker 4>in the ATP during February, people listen to my friends,

0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:42.280
<v Speaker 4>listen to family, and they start to repeat, you know,

0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:43.160
<v Speaker 4>and yeah.

0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Here, so that's what your family and friends call you too?

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:49.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well no they they they said to me some

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:53.879
<v Speaker 4>some friends. They called me by my second name, Sev, Like.

0:26:55.240 --> 0:27:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my family just called me packer, packer Americans. It's

0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 1>not nice. And I didn't want to say this, but

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:06.919
<v Speaker 1>our boss Shannon said to tell you, we found your tennis.

0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:10.399
<v Speaker 4>Right as soon as as soon as I said, I

0:27:10.680 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 4>was thinking, okay, this is my racket.

0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:14.800
<v Speaker 2>This has nothing to do with you.

0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:15.840
<v Speaker 4>She just gave us.

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:21.640
<v Speaker 1>So who's your pick for the Australian Open twenty twenty six.

0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:24.720
<v Speaker 4>It's difficult to say, but I think Senor and Alcoraz

0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:28.440
<v Speaker 4>right now are a little bit, you know, a few steps, yeah,

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:32.560
<v Speaker 4>the to the rest. They show unreal tennis. Last year

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:36.600
<v Speaker 4>I went to Turin and I saw their level and

0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:40.840
<v Speaker 4>it's crazy in another step. But I don't know this year.

0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:44.800
<v Speaker 4>Always when you start Australian Open, it's for many the

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:49.000
<v Speaker 4>first tournament, so it's so difficult to play the first tournament.

0:27:49.520 --> 0:27:52.880
<v Speaker 4>But these guys always do well, so let's see.

0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:56.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but is there someone outside of Alcohorazer Center, like

0:27:56.760 --> 0:27:59.440
<v Speaker 1>a dark horse that you could see getting through the

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:02.399
<v Speaker 1>draw and making it at least to the final.

0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:10.160
<v Speaker 4>Difficult to say, but like a new name, I hope Fonseca.

0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 4>But I like him also for South America, being Argentina,

0:28:14.920 --> 0:28:18.159
<v Speaker 4>he's Brazilian, but being South American. For US, it's very

0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:20.680
<v Speaker 4>important to have one very far. I think he's going

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:23.600
<v Speaker 4>to have a great year, so maybe there is a

0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:26.439
<v Speaker 4>chance to start well. But he pulled out the first tournament,

0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:28.960
<v Speaker 4>so let's see how he is, you know, physically.

0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:30.639
<v Speaker 1>What did you watch the one point slap?

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:33.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm part of the organization right now, part of

0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:36.680
<v Speaker 4>Tennis Ausia. After the Yeah, did you love it?

0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Were you jealous?

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I love it?

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:28:39.160 --> 0:28:42.920
<v Speaker 4>No, I don't miss the court, to be honest, but

0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:47.680
<v Speaker 4>I think it was an important event for the people

0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:50.760
<v Speaker 4>who is watching at home, you know Argentina, I mean

0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:53.960
<v Speaker 4>South America. When when I wake up today and I

0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:57.880
<v Speaker 4>saw all the the streamers and everyone, you know, repeating

0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 4>the highlights and talking about this. They they never spoke

0:29:01.240 --> 0:29:04.360
<v Speaker 4>about tennis before. Now they are speaking, you know, like

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:08.400
<v Speaker 4>what the fuck? An amateur guy with a million dollars?

0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, anyone could have won.

0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's the thing, like they should. Jordan Smith, a

0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:15.000
<v Speaker 1>guy who wanted don't you think he should get a

<v Speaker 4>the band was nice. People enjoyed. This is the most

0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:33.560
<v Speaker 4>important thing. But also the players. I spoke today just

0:29:51.400 --> 0:29:53.840
<v Speaker 4>take the job because I think Australian Open is one

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 4>of the best by far in the relation with the players.

0:29:56.960 --> 0:30:00.400

<v Speaker 1>players the best.

<v Speaker 2>who represented us. And then she came out and she

0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:55.440
<v Speaker 2>did all of these crazy Australian animal moves. Well correct,

0:33:56.160 --> 0:33:57.200
