Speaker 1: sponsorship of the Women's Tennis Association, the WTA World rankings

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: and the mixed bag of responses coming from members of

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: the tennis community. It's a pretty interesting, one.

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: Very gray, big bag of mixed lollies.

16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: My name is Chloe Dalton. I'm joined every week on

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: the show by my co host Bez. We're recording on

18
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: gadigal Land. Let's take a look around the grounds.

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 4: In a rugby life, Queens iin't have kept their State

20
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 4: of Origin hopes alive at beating the Blues eleven ten

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 4: a loss of brown field goal with two minutes to play,

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 4: seal the wind for the moons in a torrential conditions

23
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 4: in Newcastle.

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: The fact that she slotted that drop goal.

25
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: It was it kind of slid over sideways, but it

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 3: got the job done.

27
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: Still like that.

28
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: Drop goals are hard enough under pressure in live play,

29
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: let alone in those conditions gets through it well, drop

30
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: go There's a lot of room for error in those things.

31
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: And say that she did it with that amount of

32
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: pressure in very wet slip preconditions is impressive.

33
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

34
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 4: I think interestingly talk to people through how important your

35
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 4: ball drop is in a drop in for a drop kick,

36
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 4: and I think that like in all honesty, and you

37
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: think I'm taking the United here, but I'm not. Like

38
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 4: when you do drop her footy onto a wet ground, yes,

39
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 4: it's not bouncing the way you're used to it bouncing.

40
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, because that's like when you kick off a tea,

41
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: the ball is obviously very still and you can kick

42
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: it exactly where you want to on the ball, Whereas

43
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: when you drop the ball off the ground, where you

44
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: make contact with the ball varies depending on the type

45
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: of surface and the type of bounce and the conditions

46
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: for your ball drop. As a kicker, you always want

47
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: to make it as consistent as possible. But when you're

48
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: rushed with defenders coming at you and it's a slippery ground,

49
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: it's very unlikely that you're going to get a clean.

50
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: Bounce of the ball.

51
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: So the fact that she just had a really solid

52
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: strike through it well played.

53
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 4: So the rain might have been messing with their ball drops,

54
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 4: but it didn't dampen the mood. There was a new

55
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 4: record origin Crown of twenty five, seven hundred and eighty

56
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: two people turning out to support the girls in those conditions,

57
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 4: too amazing, as well as a new record for national

58
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: total TV reach with two point two million viewers. The

59
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 4: Blues held the lead for sixty two minutes with just

60
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: eight to go, the Maroons dug deep, breaking up seven

61
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 4: points in those final eight minutes to keep the series alive. Definitely,

62
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: we are blaming Chloe for the result, and she needs

63
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 4: to write a written apology to all your stuff.

64
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 2: I was bad.

65
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: Actually would like to take this opportunity to apologize saw

66
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: New South Wales fans. I am sorry, but it's kind

67
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: of great. I'm I'm devastated. I regret wanting to decider.

68
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't actually want to decide it, but It's going

69
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: to be a great game.

70
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: Game three.

71
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 4: So the Morroors now return home to Queensland for the

72
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 4: decider that Chloe wanted and envisaged and made come to

73
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: pass on June the twenty seventh in at towns Hall,

74
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 4: with a chance to clinch a back to back series wins. Interestingly, though,

75
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 4: when the two teams met in Townsville last year, the

76
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 4: Nissop Wales team won eighteen to fourteen, So hopefully that

77
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: happens again.

78
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: How good?

79
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: In basketball, the WNBA experienced its biggest crowd in seventeen

80
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: years over the weekend when the Indiana Fever defeated the

81
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: Washington Mystics eighty five to eighty three at Capitol One Arena.

82
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: Bearz Kallen Clark Kaylen Clark effect are we calling?

83
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: The game was set to be played at the Mystic's

84
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: usual home arena, which holds four.

85
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: Two hundred spectators, yet a new building.

86
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: Not enough space in your building. With demand for ticket

87
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: spiking in the lead up, the game has moved to

88
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: Capital One Arena. New determined notifications off on my laptop

89
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: where the Washington's Washington's NBA side the Wizards play.

90
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 4: I like the correlation between the Wizards and the Mystics.

91
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 4: I think there's some spells going out to Washington.

92
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: Of course, it was sold out with twenty thousand, three

93
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three fans in attendance. Fun fact, the

94
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: highest ever WNBA tendance record set in nineteen ninety nine,

95
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: was only three hundred and forty one more people than

96
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: the match over the weekend.

97
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: Very close, very close.

98
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: To make things even better, considering the Mystics and Fever

99
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: have won only two games between them and a sitting

100
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: last on the Eastern Conference ladder, the Mystics collected more

101
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: than one million dollars in gate revenue from the game,

102
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: setting a record in franchise history. To top it all off,

103
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: Kayln Clark became only the second rookie in WNBA history

104
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: to score seven three pointers in a game and equaled

105
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: a career high thirty points a couple.

106
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: From the logo as well.

107
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,160

255

258
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: japan aren't they very. Good let's take a look at

259
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: the key. Story so we know That Saudi arabia and

260
00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: The Women's Tennis association have formed a. PARTNERSHIP i think

261
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: it's worth a discussion bears of whether it's going to

262
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: be something that is actually going to grow the women's

263
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: game and help the women's, game or is this sports.

264
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 4: Washing so let's talk to what sports washing. Means just

265
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 4: a little reminder for. Everyone so this is kind of

266
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 4: how sportswashing. Works if the common opinion of, it it's

267
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 4: basically laundering a government's reputation by hosting major sports events

268
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 4: that attract widespread positive media attention while diverting that attention

269
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 4: away from alleged hosts of human rights abuses and. Wrongdoings

270
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 4: So Saudi arabia obviously don't have the greatest track record

271
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 4: in a lot of those areas in regards to human rights.

272
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 4: Issues they are pouring a lot of money into a

273
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 4: number of different. Sports THE wta is not the first

274
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,359
Speaker 4: to take the, money.

275
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 3: And they probably won't be the.

276
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 4: Last so they unveiled a partnership With Saudi Arabi's Public

277
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 4: Investment fund and the news comes following the announcement That

278
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 4: saudia will host THE wa finals as part of a

279
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: three year deal that will increase the price of money

280
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: for This november season ending championship to a record fifteen

281
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 4: point twenty five, million which is a seventy percent increase

282
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 4: from twenty twenty.

283
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: Three this is WHERE i think it's a really interesting

284
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: discussion because you look at it in the sense of

285
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: does it actually help the game from a commercial? Benefit

286
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: seventy percent to me is not enough of an increase

287
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: to take that.

288
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: Deal oh, Okay let's let me give you a.

289
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: Scenario If Saudi, arabia for whatever, reason wanted to come

290
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: and support the New South wales. Warritars what does that

291
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: decision look like for?

292
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: You from a purely commercial, perspective where it is nothing

293
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 4: but numbers on a piece of paper and in the bank,

294
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 4: account it's a very hard thing to say no.

295
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: To what's The is there a minimum number? Though is

296
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: there a minimum amount that needs To.

297
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 4: Well that comes to the moral question of put a

298
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 4: price on your, integrity integrity and how you, know put

299
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 4: a price on how strongly you believe in people's rights

300
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 4: In Saudi, arabia which is really difficult to. Do AND

301
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 4: i think you. Know so we look at live, golf

302
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 4: that's probably the most pertinent example Of saudi's. Influence they're

303
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 4: making these players multi, millionaires.

304
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: AND i think that's so to, me WHEN i look

305
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: at The Live golf, example that's a huge increase in the.

306
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: Money so that's where you see players who were shamed

307
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: by certain people for accepting contracts With Live, golf but said,

308
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: PUBLICLY i can't turn this money. DOWN i simply cannot

309
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: turn this money. Down it's life changing. Money is that

310
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: seventy percent increase from twenty twenty three life changing?

311
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: MONEY i don't think.

312
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 4: So probably not, initially but potentially down the track if it.

313
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: Continues, yes fair, enough there's been some MIXED i feel

314
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: like we're a little bit mixed in our. Opinions there's

315
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: been some mixed responses across the. Board Tennis hall of
