<v Speaker 2>got friends that I've never said the last name Eva.

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I've definitely said Taunton. But I think you would pop

0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 1>more if you were Anton.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.440

<v Speaker 2>Yes, I mean, what a nerdy day for all that celebrate.

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.679

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>sounds like the start of a Netflix.

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Show tun Doon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so.

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.679
<v Speaker 1>You get your own special and then.

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how are you, Mike? You must be on cloud

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 2>nine after Madrid and where we're heading to in the

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 2>broader tennis season. I am and I am not.

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I think Sinner is just going to have a cake

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>walk through most of the tournaments until Alcock. Well, I

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.119
<v Speaker 1>mean we're also watching Greatness.

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know, and we've spoken about how good greatness is,

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 2>and it's great if you're watching in twenty years, you're

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 2>watching a documentary about greatness and you're like, oh my god,

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 2>this guy's unbelievable, what a season he had, and you're like, look,

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 2>he was just dominating everywhere. But when you're kind of

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>in it and you're like, wow, he's going to win again,

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>it kind of does take the sting out of the

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>men's draw.

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>True, and Alcaaz, his absence with injury is being felt already.

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there couldn't be a bigger gap between Sinner

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.279
<v Speaker 1>and the rest of the field with Alcoraz out and

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>his wrist injury. I want to put this to you

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>as a golf player fanatic. The Spanish media has said

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Alcoraz's injury is more golf related than tennis.

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you know this happens. It does happen. So

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 2>the day after he won the Australian Open, he was

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 2>out playing at Kingston Heath. You know, so the guy

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>needs to quit golf. He's too obsessed with you. And

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 2>it does happen. I've seen it before. You saw it

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 2>with Usman Kawaja, the Australian cricketer. He missed the Brisbane

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Test because he was hurt. He hurt himself playing gold,

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.719
<v Speaker 2>hurt his back playing golf. These men, they need to

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.799
<v Speaker 2>focus on the You can't if you pick a sport

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 2>and that's the sport you have to play. You they're

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 2>all like, oh, we can do golf on the side.

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 2>But it's ruining. It's running Koreas, that's what it's doing.

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>But you think is rist injury really doesn't come down

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.039
<v Speaker 1>to him hitting thousands of tennis balls or one hundred

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and forty miles per hour fourhand. He'd like hit a

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.160
<v Speaker 1>putt a little too voracious.

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 2>You're thinking about pup putt. This guy. This guy's out there,

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 2>he's on the links. Have you ever you've held a

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 2>tennis ball? I have, And then have you held a

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 2>golf ball, which one is sturdy, which one's harder.

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Which one would do more damage? Yeah, golf ball.

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, totally right. And then if you're hitting it, he's

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>probably hitting in the rough and he's trying to hack

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 2>it out. He's a pretty strong guy. All that pressure

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 2>goes to your risk and risk it only takes one

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 2>to kind of mess it up, whereas like, you know,

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.039
<v Speaker 2>you got that nice string, Yeah, you got the nice

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 2>softer Jennibrawk gives. There's so much more give. He's a

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 2>clay guy that he loves. The ball comes on a

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 2>bit softer.

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Is there a put putt injuries?

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it's when drunk stepdads start hitting someone

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 2>else for the potter.

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>But the one of the big Spanish media, I guess,

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>radio personalities. He insinuated that not only is it too

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 1>much golf for Alcoraz, but it's also too much video games.

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that sucks. I mean that sucks more than gold.

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Let the boy live.

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean the problem you just do forget that

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.160
<v Speaker 2>he's a twenty what is he twenty two? Twenty three? Yeah?

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 2>You like, of course he's going to be playing some

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 2>video games. He could give up the golf. I know

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 2>he's a keen golfer, he's off a low handicap, but

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 2>I think golf. If I was in his corner, I'd

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.719
<v Speaker 2>be like, golf goes. You can keep video gaming, but

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:12.040
<v Speaker 2>you've got to stop it.

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you think he bounces back because he is a

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:16.359
<v Speaker 1>young man. I know you had a riss injury as

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>a young man, but yeah, yourself very different.

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 2>I was playing with my light seaber. It was a

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 2>big Star Wars kid, Big Star Wars kid. If I

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 2>was in Alcaraz's corner, I would say, you've got to

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.680
<v Speaker 2>pick one, because to me, there's three main things that

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 2>are drawing him away from the game of tennis. Right

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>number one, you've got this golf, You've got the video games.

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know about that one, and then you've got

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 2>him seemingly want to sleep with every socialite under the sun. Well,

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 2>so I mean he's got to pick one, and I

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:45.600
<v Speaker 2>don't think he's going to give up being you know,

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.840
<v Speaker 2>the Frank Sinatra of twenty twenty six. So I think

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>it's golf and maybe video games have to go. Video

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 2>games you'll do less injuries, maybe you get a bit

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 2>of like a soul neck or something repetitive strain. I

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 2>guess with you know that just hammering the Yeah, but

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 2>because you'll play the film if the risk goes Yeah, yeah,

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I worry because you know, obviously you want him back

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 1>for the grass season. He's gonna he says right now

0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Alcoraz that he's gonna come back to defend his title

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>in Queens, which is one of the big grass court

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>tournaments leading into Wimbledon. You just don't want to see

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 1>him go the way of Dominic team and one more

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>team del Patrick team.

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Team just disappeared. There's the wrist. The wrist, Yeah, yeah,

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 2>it happened. I think with Alchora, though, it's like gonna

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 2>be hard, Like if he's gearing up to come back

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 2>to the grass court season, it's like, and he's missed

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 2>so much tennis. It's a much faster surface. It's like

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 2>he's just gonna be so under he'll get found out

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 2>more like having missed so much tennis. Yeah, so even

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>if he's back, is he going to be you know,

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 2>he's still got the ability, he's probably got quarterfinals, semi

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 2>finals all over him. But is he gonna touch center

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 2>The answer is no. I know. That's why it's men's

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 2>tennis sucks right now.

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean I still enjoy watching Cinner absolutely destroy people. Yeah,

0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 1>but it's yeah, like I said, the gap between him

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>and number three is Verreev. But Djokovic has announced he's

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 1>playing Rome, yeah, which starts this week, and I don't

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 1>see him being in forum.

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 2>But we're all on Djokovic now, aren't we. We're all like,

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 2>let's bloody Novak, Australia's Novak, get behind this guy, little

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Alsie Novak, the little guy that could. It's like he's

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 2>going to be out there. We're all going to be

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 2>staying up late on this side of the world cheering

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Novak on to try to make it competitive. What the

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 2>stat I read about Sev has lost his last nine

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 2>matches to Sinner. It's like, what is that duty? You like,

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 2>you're going in with no self relief. You can't beat

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 2>the guy.

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's why he should bring some levity to his

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>next interview and they'll when they ask him about Sinner,

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 1>inevitably he should say, no, one beats Zvera. Yeah, ten

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 1>times in a row.

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's what I've always said. Yeah, you get me

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 2>the first nine, but the tenth one that's on me.

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, he did have a winning record against him, I

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>mean for a little while, but then losing the last

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy.

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 2>It actually is crazy, Like you look at what that meant,

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Like that would scar you forever. I feel like, yeah,

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 2>you'd have to be so strong to get through it.

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:12.320
<v Speaker 1>It's like, uh, someone pointed out, it's the Serena Williams

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Sharapovo rivalry. Was called the rivalry, but it was Serena

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 1>absolutely just owning her every time they cud. The greatest

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 1>time rivalry. Yeah, yeah, that's the analogy. It's a hammer

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:28.200
<v Speaker 1>and nail rivalry.

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you know, of course, of course, of course,

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.080
<v Speaker 2>But that does just happen in tennis though, because if

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 2>you have two kind of clear people but one's better

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 2>than the other, they're still probably going to meet so often.

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 2>So it does seem like a rivalry even though there's

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.439
<v Speaker 2>actually kind of no rivalry, right because one person is

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 2>dominating so much more. The women's draw, that's where it's

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 2>all that, because there's no clue what's going on there.

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>No, I mean, we'll get around to that, I think.

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Staying on Djokovic for a second, the fact that he's

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>warming up in Rome as we speak. He's on the

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:56.200
<v Speaker 1>practice courts.

0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Have you got you've got your little spies?

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Have got eyes on an amount, Mike, Mike g has

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 1>eyes and spice like.

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 2>That guy from Game of Thrones. Yeah, it's just a

0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 2>little it's a little what do they yet, little thumb

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 2>or some of that. What did he say? He's got

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 2>his little lies? No, not little lies. I don't know anyway,

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 2>he's creepy, but you remind me of him. Thank you?

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>All right? You kind of you got a Jeoffrey, I

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 1>got a Jeoffrey vibe.

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can see I've got a temper and I

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 2>make bad mistakes and my legacy. I don't want to

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 2>think about my legs. No, not at all.

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 1>The so Djokovic being the only one well outside of

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Yakov Mensic beating Center in Dubai, Djokovic beat him and

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>uh the Australian Open, and so if Djokovic plays his

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 1>way back in the form for Rome and then will

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.839
<v Speaker 1>maybe challenge him in the French but otherwise cakewalk for center.

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you think though that like? I mean, yeah, Djokovic

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 2>beat him in Australia, But is that just like the

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 2>last flashes of djokovic brilliance. It's not like is it

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 2>a thing where he's like, I've got the on this guy,

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 2>So if I get back and play him in a

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 2>big time, big match laid in a Grand Slam, I

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 2>can do it. It's like I don't like, I don't know.

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 2>It's just like he pulled out some magic in Australia

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 2>to do it. I don't know.

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>But now he's got even more impetus to pull out

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 1>more magic because there's no Alcoraz. He doesn't have to

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>beat two of the guys.

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, yes, he's just gonna do one. Yeah. It

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 2>is crazy that now it's like Djokovic is so old

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 2>now and we're still like he's got to be the guy.

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a better storyline. It's a way better story.

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Twenty five slams is a better storyline.

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm all on bull. I love that story. I

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 2>love that story.

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Some other wrap ups from Madrid before we get into

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:46.560
<v Speaker 1>the finals. New Rafa just dropped Rafa Hodar back on

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Game of Thrones. It sounds like Hoda.

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 2>He also reminds me of you.

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh I thought you meant Hodar ra Rafa Hodar The

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.199
<v Speaker 1>teen sensation a year ago ranked in the nine hundreds

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to thirty four.

0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.559
<v Speaker 2>Now, that's sick. It's amazing, that's it. I just think

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.320
<v Speaker 2>dollars when I think of arrives like that. Yeah, because

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 2>nine hundred you're not making much money at all, but

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 2>you get into the top fifty, the sweet money starts

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:17.160
<v Speaker 2>coming in. Yeah.

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Apparently with the ATP when you crack the top two hundred,

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>they fly you to like everyone else who's broken into

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the top two hundred, to like this big event at

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 1>some city in the world. No. Yeah, and then they

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>do like this big like welcome to the top two hundred.

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're lying. I swear to god.

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.959
<v Speaker 1>They do that because it's like you, guys, you're entering

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 1>the big time.

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 2>So you're like, these are your p is now. Yeah,

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's the whole two hundred day.

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 1>No, it's like that.

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 2>It's in color.

0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:49.079
<v Speaker 1>People within the past year that cracked the two hundred.

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, So it's like an induction. God, you'd be

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 2>spewing if you had two hundred and one in the world.

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 2>You don't get to go to the island. I'm lucky.

0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm lucky. That's crazy.

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.439
<v Speaker 1>That true, Yeah, that's true. Well it used to be true.

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm currently reading Connor Nylan's book The Racket about playing

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.199
<v Speaker 1>on the futures and challengers to and he said he

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 1>got to go to I think they did it in

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 1>London that year, the big year in the top two hundred.

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Now meeting, it's about to promote camaraderie. We should have professionalism.

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, like the old school tennis energy of like

0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 2>it's the gentleman's game. Yeah, think you shake hands easy

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 2>o p is enjoyed. We should host it next year.

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>It's like a secret men's club, That's what I mean. Yeah,

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and you burn like an effigy of an owl at

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:34.880
<v Speaker 1>the end.

0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, sacrifice Okay, okay, I like that. I like that

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot.

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know. Rafa Hodar is how you pronounce it. Yeah.

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 1>He took out demon Ar early in Madrid. He beat Vonseca,

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 1>that was the other, you know, greatly hyped teenager from Brazil.

0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 1>And then he came up against Center and I thought

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:05.280
<v Speaker 1>it was the most Center got pushed in Madrid by

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Ralpha Hoodar. It was still in straights hats and yeah,

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 1>he but the Spanish because Alcoraz was out with the injury.

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 1>The Spanish had this new.

0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.200
<v Speaker 2>They have this new person to kind of get behind.

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.760
<v Speaker 2>I do wonder, like what the gap is between you know,

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 2>like someone ranked so high, like if you're in five,

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 2>six hundreds and then you're playing someone you know, who's

0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you're playing center, you know you're dealing

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:29.960
<v Speaker 2>with potentially an all time great. But it's like, what

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 2>it's the skill difference? Is it all psychological? Because it

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.200
<v Speaker 2>does kind of boggle the one that someone can get

0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.920
<v Speaker 2>on a run and go from that high up to

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, ultimately pushing the best player in the world.

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of crazy, and I mean people getting behind it.

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 2>You can like that. I guess that pushes you, but

0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 2>it kind of does make you wonder. It's like, who

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.280
<v Speaker 2>else is just out there that can kind of do it,

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 2>that's got it in there, I know.

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>And this kid, I mean, he's showing the talent and

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the forum and kind of already you know, a good mentality,

0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 1>especially for a nineteen year.

0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Old nineteen as well, that's like.

0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and if if you've seen him, like he's he's

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 1>all shoulders, he's like six foot three, he weighs one

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty three pounds and he's just got the

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.600
<v Speaker 1>it looks like a suit bag was a person.

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 2>The best description, no wonder. He just polished off the

0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 2>demon so well, like just anything with any of the

0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 2>big serve that can just overpower. H I love Alex,

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 2>but it's like that just seems like he's big gap.

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't matter who they are. If they're just a

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 2>bit more powerful than physical, it's over for him.

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I know, So be on the lookout for a holder.

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I hope he DoD.

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he sounds like we need someone to get behind,

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I know, but I.

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Also you worry about someone getting over hyped too early

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and then they just like had a great run and

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 1>then that's it. But I mean to thirty four in

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the world, Yeah at nineteen years old.

0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, is he get how overhyped did he get? Like

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 2>you just called him a suit bag? He's that over

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.320
<v Speaker 2>hyping hard don't know. It still sounds like an underdog

0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 2>if you ask me.

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 1>It's look I mean cause he's nineteen, so he still

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 1>has this like little kid head on these like the

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 1>most giantler.

0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.720
<v Speaker 2>That's my favorite type of person is the little boy

0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 2>face that's like really young but their body's gone quicker.

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Can we clip that and play that well.

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 2>I think my favorite type of person.

0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a little boy face a man's body.

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.440
<v Speaker 2>But you've got to don't cut it at little boy.

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:24.960
<v Speaker 2>You've got to let me keep doing the other stuff

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 2>if you just cut it at My favorite type of

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 2>person is a little boy. I'm in a lot of trouble.

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no.

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:34.760
<v Speaker 2>I love that when you see them and they just

0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 2>look so young and bright eyed, but they're just like

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 2>playing with the big fellas. Yeah.

0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.200
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, like we'll see what he does in

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Rome and then at the French. Just quickly to deviate,

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I would like to talk about the history of models.

0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:56.000
<v Speaker 1>At the Madrid Open so I on Tyriac, a Romanian

0:16:56.040 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 1>business man. In twenty fourteen, it made all female models

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 1>ball girls their age nineteen to twenty eight, and he said,

0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 1>you have to wear very revealing out for interesting. Andre

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Augusty complained about it, said it was very distracting, and

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:18.760
<v Speaker 1>then you know, of course, eventually it was not until

0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:20.919
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three when it was like people were like,

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.119
<v Speaker 1>what are we doing? This is sexist. You can't have

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:26.639
<v Speaker 1>these ladies as the ballgirls. Yeah, And like usually they

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 1>use up and coming juniors from local clubs. Yeah, and

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 1>not only were they were they emblazoned with the like

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:37.199
<v Speaker 1>Hugo boss logo, but then he would also get it

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.360
<v Speaker 1>across their chest as well. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, what's

0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 1>his god's name?

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.520
<v Speaker 2>I on Tyriaca fashionating guy a replacement for Craig Tyley.

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:49.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's I know, I don't mind that we

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:55.120
<v Speaker 1>should put him forward. Eventually the tournament was handed over

0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.400
<v Speaker 1>and in twenty twenty three they said no more models,

0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.680
<v Speaker 1>but maybe some models.

0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 2>I respect, because you can't rule out models. Everyone loves

0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 2>a few models around. But I do get that, like

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:11.600
<v Speaker 2>if you're playing in the biggest match your life and

0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:13.960
<v Speaker 2>there's like five models like running around, they're also not

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 2>professional for their hearts aren't going to be in it

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:17.240
<v Speaker 2>in the way the ball kids are. We got to

0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.640
<v Speaker 2>meet a bunch of them. These these kids like live

0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.720
<v Speaker 2>for it, so they're probably falling over and they're looking beautiful,

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:24.680
<v Speaker 2>and you're worried about the model hurting it, So you

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:26.680
<v Speaker 2>don't want to see a beautiful model hurt themselves.

0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.119
<v Speaker 1>And also you put Hoda and Van Tsaka, two nineteen

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:32.280
<v Speaker 1>year old boys out there, how could you concentrate on it?

0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 2>You got to, but just put the models in like

0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 2>the player box or somebody. They're happier there as well.

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 2>I think the models like let them just you know,

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:41.920
<v Speaker 2>pop into the mecha store out the front or whatever,

0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:44.640
<v Speaker 2>do some influencing stuff. Bang, they can watch the game,

0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 2>have an apple or all spirits. Everyone's happy, like literally,

0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:49.640
<v Speaker 2>everyone is happy. They don't have to be the ball kids.

0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, they tried to soften it, like in two

0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:55.040
<v Speaker 1>thousand and seven by going, okay, we'll use male models

0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.399
<v Speaker 1>as well. Right, so they had both male models for

0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the women's matches and females for the and then now

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.440
<v Speaker 1>it's like kind of a mix, but heavy on the

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 1>female model.

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:06.920
<v Speaker 2>It's still heavier on the female.

0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Especially towards the later matches.

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.240
<v Speaker 2>So these like ball kids, it's been their whole life training,

0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 2>gets to the quarters in the semis and it's like, sorry,

0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:17.479
<v Speaker 2>we're going with the hot people exactly. Can you imagine

0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, the famous kid of the kid, the clip

0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>of the kid just like slamming into the wall end.

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:31.440
<v Speaker 1>In Madrid, Yeah, in Madrid, face plans. Yeah for our listeners,

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.840
<v Speaker 1>al Magro is playing and the kid face Plans looks back.

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:39.120
<v Speaker 2>I'd imagine imagine if that was like Sydney Sweeney, Oh

0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.040
<v Speaker 2>my god, you would be like, God, we have to

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:45.000
<v Speaker 2>stop the tennis fater I Forfard, I have to look

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:48.399
<v Speaker 2>after the beautiful woman right now. But then also a

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.919
<v Speaker 2>billion views later. Oh it would be so good. Everyone

0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 2>wants to go to Madrid to watch totally. Yeah. Okay,

0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:56.159
<v Speaker 2>this guy's a visionary. I like the idea.

0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Other news stories out of Madrid a the stomach virus,

0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:05.399
<v Speaker 1>wreaked havoc, crazy numbers. This took down I know in

0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:08.439
<v Speaker 1>the first week. It took out Eagish Fontec, who had

0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.760
<v Speaker 1>to retire in the third set of her match. Madison

0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Keys was out with it. Marin Chillic Coco got through

0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 1>a match but was taking time on a change of

0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:21.000
<v Speaker 1>vents to borrow.

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we need to get this virus to play Cinner.

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh am, I right, can we get a right there?

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:37.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well he was paranoid about getting it, so he's like,

0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm just not going to any.

0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Of the communal areas. Yeah, because well he's always kind

0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:43.760
<v Speaker 2>of a bit sick sort of, so I'm surprised he

0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 2>didn't get him. He's always got a bit of a

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:48.280
<v Speaker 2>sickly look about it. It's just redheads. Yeah, that's so true.

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 2>That's true, which is a disease, it's a virus himself. No,

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 2>we love red. We love the reds. Also, can I

0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:00.439
<v Speaker 2>say just on the virus thing quickly, I do love Like,

0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, sports is sports, and these are professional athletes

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.160
<v Speaker 2>and we all tune in and we're like, God, they're

0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:07.680
<v Speaker 2>training is so you know, intense, and they've got such

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:09.560
<v Speaker 2>a strict diet in life, but it is. It just

0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:12.159
<v Speaker 2>does always have school camp energy at a tennis tournament.

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:14.640
<v Speaker 2>When a virus goes through, it just takes everyone out.

0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 2>You're like, oh, of course, you're all just in the

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 2>same cafeteria and the same gym, in the same It's like, yeah,

0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:21.040
<v Speaker 2>you're on school camp and someone got diarrhea and now

0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:22.080
<v Speaker 2>you're all getting it as well.

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they should have like a communal nurse that it's

0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:28.920
<v Speaker 1>also checking for headlights, because that would just.

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 2>All right, they've got knits all right publicly that you

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:32.880
<v Speaker 2>get to do a press conference.

0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, who's the player most likely to bring knits to

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the tournament?

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:43.560
<v Speaker 2>I reckon it would have been marat Safin back in

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:45.520
<v Speaker 2>the day. Yeah, although he did have a lot of

0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:45.920
<v Speaker 2>short hair.

0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:49.680
<v Speaker 1>But now maybe now marat Safin, I'm thinking like a bublic.

0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:52.879
<v Speaker 2>Bublic. Yeah, he's like a bit. I mean, I feel

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:55.520
<v Speaker 2>like I mean, it's hard to know, but I feel

0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 2>like that for some reason, like long hair, scary hair

0:21:58.160 --> 0:21:59.879
<v Speaker 2>is what I think of when I think of nits,

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe like I sit the pass or something. But I

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:04.920
<v Speaker 2>could be wrong. I've never had knits. I'm quite clean.

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, I've been nitless too.

0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:11.360
<v Speaker 2>You've been nitless, you've been knitless. I am nitless. I'm

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 2>currently currently nitless. Currently, Well, you've had a fresh haircut.

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 2>I know I wouldn't touch that if they were knits

0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:17.720
<v Speaker 2>in it.

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:20.720
<v Speaker 1>My my wife said, it looks like I'm wearing a

0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:21.880
<v Speaker 1>party hat made of hair.

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:27.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's a compliment.

0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:28.840
<v Speaker 1>It really was hurtful.

0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.199
<v Speaker 2>It's you've got a US Navy haircut. That's how I

0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 2>described it. When you walked in, you look like you've

0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 2>been drafted or conscripted to go to Vietnam.

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I think because I like give the energy of like

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a tough alpha guy.

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:42.920
<v Speaker 2>So that's no, no, no, like a conscripted, like a

0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:45.600
<v Speaker 2>guy he didn't want to go. Guy tried to get out.

0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:47.880
<v Speaker 2>The guy who said he had bones f yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 2>I've got a medical certificate asthma. Oh my breathing, it hurts.

0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:58.439
<v Speaker 1>Other news from Madrid, Potapova had a great tournament. She

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:01.520
<v Speaker 1>knocked out a back in the uh uh, and then

0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:05.359
<v Speaker 1>the hard launch of her boyfriend, Dutch tennis player Talon

0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:08.439
<v Speaker 1>Greek Sports Greek Sport, who was sitting in her box

0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:12.400
<v Speaker 1>offering moral support, where everyone was like, the best boyfriend ever.

0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:15.159
<v Speaker 1>He's saying, we need your best attitude and energy. We

0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:19.439
<v Speaker 1>got some clips here of it. But then later on

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:24.200
<v Speaker 1>she was complaining to the coach and he said, uh,

0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:29.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe stop fucking talking, Anna.

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you're right there, keep pushing.

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:37.280
<v Speaker 2>So it's like, is this guy a hero or what?

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Remember what I told you at home, stop sucking talking.

0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:43.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I just don't. I don't like couples

0:23:44.000 --> 0:23:45.800
<v Speaker 2>in tennis. I don't like them in the box, So

0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't like them. Sabillanca's boyfriend. He kind of annoys

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:51.000
<v Speaker 2>me sometimes, but he's like A I mean he's not

0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:53.080
<v Speaker 2>A yeah, I mean he's not. But it is like,

0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:54.800
<v Speaker 2>I guess that's hard if you kind of he's a

0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:57.200
<v Speaker 2>pro tennis player. He knows what's going on. But yeah,

0:23:57.280 --> 0:23:59.640
<v Speaker 2>you would be tempted to not just like but it's

0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:00.640
<v Speaker 2>like a yelling at.

0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:04.119
<v Speaker 1>It's a workplace relationship like that. They're like a touring

0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 1>circus and they're around each other all the time, like

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:09.080
<v Speaker 1>totally you don't know anyone else. Of course they're gonna

0:24:09.160 --> 0:24:09.920
<v Speaker 1>date each other.

0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 2>But so you'll put your partner your wife. You know,

0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:15.160
<v Speaker 2>she sees a lot of stand up comedy.

0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Which one are we talking about?

0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Partner slip slips up? Don't people, he's crazy, But she

0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:29.280
<v Speaker 2>sees a lot of stand up comedy. But if you

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:31.399
<v Speaker 2>what if you're performing your set and then she's just

0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:33.760
<v Speaker 2>out of stage, just like in your ear being like

0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:36.280
<v Speaker 2>pull your ship together, like be more positive.

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:40.199
<v Speaker 1>I love it, you love it. I need that.

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Like one.

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Joke bombs and I just hear you go stop fucking talking.

0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Stop sucking. Oh wait, so she's saying negative. She's not

0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:51.720
<v Speaker 2>a positive thing. Okay, She's then just validating the voices

0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:53.000
<v Speaker 2>in your head. Yeah, okay.

0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 1>So the other kind of announcing themselves on the tour

0:24:57.760 --> 0:25:00.680
<v Speaker 1>was Haley Baptiste, the American player took out this is

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the biggest win of her career. Easy taking out Sabolenka

0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 1>in the quarterfinals and saving six match points along the way.

0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Six match points is crazy. That's stress right there, just

0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:14.640
<v Speaker 2>absolutely just inner dis winging, like God, when will this pain?

0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:17.359
<v Speaker 2>And then you get to the other side of the mountain.

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 2>You'd be shocked, you one, if you saved six match points.

0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean imagine the adrenaline, like just coursing through like

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:26.000
<v Speaker 1>against sable Anka, the number one in the world, and

0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:29.880
<v Speaker 1>then losing Tamira Andreva in the semi final, and then

0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:33.200
<v Speaker 1>of course in the final of the women side in Madrid,

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:35.840
<v Speaker 1>we had Mardakstiak, friend.

0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Of the show, Friend of the show, You've got history.

0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:42.760
<v Speaker 1>We have history. She said, I was too cute to be.

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:46.200
<v Speaker 2>On a podcast, That's what she said.

0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:48.679
<v Speaker 1>Have you had any nicknames throughout the career?

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:56.159
<v Speaker 2>No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You sent it the YouTube

0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:59.040
<v Speaker 2>linkh okay. It's actually kind of a visual media.

0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, we get people watching, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah.

0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Gi Marta, this is a Ukrainian. This is the big

0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:11.480
<v Speaker 1>sticking point I guess for tennis media is this is

0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:16.399
<v Speaker 1>a Ukrainian playing a Russian player. Marta did not shake

0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:18.200
<v Speaker 1>hands and get a picture with Mira.

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, they've got bad blood the two countries. Mike, I'm

0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:23.159
<v Speaker 2>not sure if you've followed the Yeah, they don't like

0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:29.600
<v Speaker 2>each other really? Yeahs nasty. What's going on today? Yeah?

0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:31.160
<v Speaker 2>I get that, but.

0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:38.800
<v Speaker 1>This is Costia not even acknowledging, yes, the opponent beating

0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Mira Andreva and straight sets, saving set point in the

0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:46.480
<v Speaker 1>second set, but not even mentioning Mirra Andreva.

0:26:46.040 --> 0:26:50.120
<v Speaker 2>In this speech. Well, I watched the speech and it's

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 2>like very noticeable that doesn't get brought up. But it

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 2>also kind of goes into this new trend of tennis

0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:58.760
<v Speaker 2>speeches that we are seeing, which are very like pro yourself,

0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, just being like I've done it, I'm awesome,

0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:04.480
<v Speaker 2>my team, how good are we go us? So she

0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:06.760
<v Speaker 2>could be forgiven that she is just a one minded

0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 2>sporting psychopath, like they all are, really right, and it

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 2>had no political kind of connotations with it at all.

0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:16.520
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'd say if I was defending her. But

0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:17.920
<v Speaker 2>I think it had a lot to do with the

0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Russian aspect of it all.

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 1>What okay not shaking her hand at the end of

0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the match, cast chick not doing that if you played

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:28.440
<v Speaker 1>someone they refuse to shake your hand, And then they

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:30.880
<v Speaker 1>did a backflip and sult the injury.

0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Or yeah, you can't backflip, that's bang out of order. Backlip. Yeah,

0:27:34.000 --> 0:27:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I know, I saw the back You can't backflip like

0:27:36.400 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 2>the handshake I get, and we've seen cases of that

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:41.960
<v Speaker 2>before as well this year in tennis, but you can't

0:27:42.000 --> 0:27:45.320
<v Speaker 2>back the backflip is never like I mean, I don't know.

0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Backflips just don't seem right. You didn't like it, well,

0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't get a backflip in a different context.

0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:52.600
<v Speaker 2>It's also I mean, you give me a backflip for

0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 2>the greatest, coolest I would kill to me. I once

0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:57.800
<v Speaker 2>saw our mutual friend Jared McGowan do a backflip off

0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:00.520
<v Speaker 2>a rock into water, and like I thought people were

0:28:00.520 --> 0:28:03.400
<v Speaker 2>going to get his autograph, like it was unbelievable. Yeah,

0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:05.440
<v Speaker 2>it is great, But a backflip in this situation, it's

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 2>like you're making a political stand. You don't then backflip.

0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:10.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, Ron Luther King didn't say I have a

0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 2>dream that did a backflip? Did he?

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:14.280
<v Speaker 1>If he did, I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, that would

0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:15.240
<v Speaker 1>be ar.

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Like, you don't need to dream, you're living it right now, mate.

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Even if Neil Armstrong did a backflip on the moon.

0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like, well, he could have been backflip from

0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:25.440
<v Speaker 1>man one, a huge backflip for mankind.

0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:27.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, with the lack of gravity, it would have been

0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:29.640
<v Speaker 2>easier the backflip if he missed a beat.

0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but they were also on a sound stage.

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, had fishing line like attached, so they could

0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 2>have just like Pink at one of her concerts, just

0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:39.479
<v Speaker 2>swimmer around.

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:43.800
<v Speaker 1>True, true, true. So I mean, next time we play purckleball,

0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll try my best to do a backflip. Yeah.

0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:49.000
<v Speaker 2>And you don't shake cans anyway when you play pickaball. Yeah,

0:28:49.080 --> 0:28:51.120
<v Speaker 2>so it is kind of very similar to that kind

0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 2>of geopolitical conflict.

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So Marto Castick, she's on a terror because she

0:28:58.080 --> 0:28:59.440
<v Speaker 1>won a two fifty event and.

0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Ruin that's her first one thousand, Yeah, first one, that huge.

0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Huge Yes, mirror Andreva still you know, a team still

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:13.440
<v Speaker 1>playing great ball, and I think should makes a deep

0:29:13.520 --> 0:29:15.240
<v Speaker 1>run at the French Open as well.

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:17.880
<v Speaker 2>It is great, Like who do you like in the

0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 2>women Like it's just kind of chaos at the moment.

0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:22.160
<v Speaker 2>It's people kind of coming out from everywhere. I mean

0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:24.920
<v Speaker 2>that the virus didn't help, but like it's I mean,

0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:27.680
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't want to be, you know, a professional tennis

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:30.040
<v Speaker 2>gambler because on that women's side, I don't know who's

0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:30.440
<v Speaker 2>going to win.

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Of all the surfaces, to have diarrhea on clay would

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:35.280
<v Speaker 1>be the most, I.

0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Would argue, it'd be the best. Yeah, yeah, I tell

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:38.920
<v Speaker 2>what you were going to say, Yeah, yeah, yeah, if

0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 2>you could, like it would blend in and then if

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 2>there was a bit of a breeze it would kind

0:29:42.680 --> 0:29:46.120
<v Speaker 2>of get covered. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay,

0:29:46.200 --> 0:29:47.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean the grass is the worst.

0:29:48.440 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Some lady left a comment on one of my reels

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and she said, is this toilet humor? Mike Goldsteer, And

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I guess.

0:29:57.280 --> 0:30:00.960
<v Speaker 2>It's best review I've ever got. Ex review.

0:30:02.440 --> 0:30:09.280
<v Speaker 1>The men's final, Yennick Center absolutely destroying Sasha Zeverev in

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:14.600
<v Speaker 1>under an hour. I just for anyone in zeb did

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:18.880
<v Speaker 1>apologize at the end of the match. Two things to

0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:22.680
<v Speaker 1>discuss here is tennis the only sport where a loser

0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:24.480
<v Speaker 1>gives a speech at the end.

0:30:24.680 --> 0:30:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, they're not technically a loser. The runner up

0:30:28.360 --> 0:30:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the runner up like they've still come second in a

0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Grand Slam, which is not nothing. But I mean if

0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 2>you get done in straight sets in under an hour,

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:36.120
<v Speaker 2>you're a loser.

0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly, And why are we still continuing on with

0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:46.720
<v Speaker 1>making a person who's clearly distraught played a terrible match.

0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Do a speech. Yeah. I like it. I like to

0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:53.720
<v Speaker 2>see people because the beauty of tennis, I often think,

0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:56.320
<v Speaker 2>and especially the final, it's like it's almost like it's

0:30:56.360 --> 0:30:58.640
<v Speaker 2>a primitive form of sport and it's just like one

0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:00.760
<v Speaker 2>person versus another person being like, I'm going to beat

0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 2>that person, and they often you know, they're a bit

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:05.480
<v Speaker 2>cocky and they've got to be confident, and then they

0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:08.000
<v Speaker 2>just even if they lose, it's just embarrassing, Like you

0:31:08.080 --> 0:31:10.400
<v Speaker 2>just have lost, it's embarrassing. And then you have to

0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:12.720
<v Speaker 2>be like, oh god, damn it, that person is better.

0:31:12.760 --> 0:31:14.440
<v Speaker 2>You just have to admit they're better than me, Like

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 2>you can't say they're not better than you. And I

0:31:16.920 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 2>think that's part of the fun, is it?

0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, because Mira Andreva crying right well, as soon as

0:31:23.880 --> 0:31:25.920
<v Speaker 1>she lasts, she's there with the taps come.

0:31:25.880 --> 0:31:26.560
<v Speaker 2>To a backflip.

0:31:29.840 --> 0:31:33.880
<v Speaker 1>But then going from crying to talking in front of

0:31:33.920 --> 0:31:36.880
<v Speaker 1>thousands of people. I mean, I know you do it

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:41.040
<v Speaker 1>with stand up, but it's like maybe tons of people.

0:31:42.360 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 2>It depends what night it is, Wednesday not Wednesday occasionally, you.

0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Know, well Wednesday is a tough night. It's hard to

0:31:48.680 --> 0:31:52.640
<v Speaker 1>get people out. There's very you know, apologize to the crowd.

0:31:52.720 --> 0:31:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Lasted under an hour, the quickest final in Madrid, just

0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 1>behind a sixty two minute five. All that was Alcoraz beating.

0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Who uh Djokovic.

0:32:05.440 --> 0:32:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Zverev, Oh dude in twenty twenty two.

0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I mean you've got a part. I like it. Well,

0:32:13.120 --> 0:32:15.520
<v Speaker 2>yeah he should be. So he was already self conscious

0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:17.760
<v Speaker 2>about it, that's obviously on his mind, and then he's

0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 2>getting absolutely like smashed and he's thinking, what's happening again?

0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 2>This is humiliating. These people have spent a lot of

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:27.280
<v Speaker 2>money because I imagine the seats there in Madrid costs

0:32:27.240 --> 0:32:28.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot more, because you know, those front ones are

0:32:29.000 --> 0:32:32.080
<v Speaker 2>like little booths in those stadiums, like they're just kind

0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:35.280
<v Speaker 2>of wedge. They must be costing astronomical amounts of mind.

0:32:35.360 --> 0:32:36.520
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to sit next to some.

0:32:36.560 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Freaki sit closer to the models.

0:32:41.920 --> 0:32:43.160
<v Speaker 2>That's why they want to get close.

0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:48.840
<v Speaker 1>And then Zverev, in his postmatch interview said there's clearly

0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:51.320
<v Speaker 1>a huge gap between center and the rest of the field.

0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:57.880
<v Speaker 1>But there's not a huge gap between himself, Djokovic, and

0:32:58.000 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 1>al karaz Nah.

0:33:00.200 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Because Alchoraz is clearly ahead of those two.

0:33:03.600 --> 0:33:06.640
<v Speaker 1>That's semi final we watch at the Australian Open was

0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Zverev's match.

0:33:08.240 --> 0:33:10.960
<v Speaker 2>To Yeah, but Alkoraz was injured, dealing or he was

0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:14.000
<v Speaker 2>faking an injury or something. Well, because he was getting beaten.

0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:15.640
<v Speaker 2>He came back. I mean, it was one of the

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:18.920
<v Speaker 2>most incredible sporting events. But he was like limping and

0:33:20.920 --> 0:33:22.280
<v Speaker 2>well that's what he said. It was cramped.

0:33:22.400 --> 0:33:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Remember you wanted to leave to eat CORNI Chan's that

0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:27.000
<v Speaker 1>was your what's your girlfriend?

0:33:32.280 --> 0:33:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The huge the amazing stats to come out of

0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:41.520
<v Speaker 1>this with Sinner is he's the first man ever to

0:33:41.600 --> 0:33:47.360
<v Speaker 1>record five straight one thousand titles, about five straight atp thousand.

0:33:47.440 --> 0:33:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Imagine if he had got the Australian Open as well,

0:33:50.880 --> 0:33:53.000
<v Speaker 2>It's like you'd be looking, you'd be on the verge

0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:55.360
<v Speaker 2>of this kind of psycho year that would maybe never

0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 2>be replicated again. I mean we kind of ord he

0:33:57.840 --> 0:33:59.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of iron that situation.

0:33:59.080 --> 0:34:02.960
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, and all he needs now to complete tennis,

0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:05.720
<v Speaker 1>to like win everything there is to win is a

0:34:05.720 --> 0:34:09.560
<v Speaker 1>gold medal at the Olympics, the French Open and Rome

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:11.720
<v Speaker 1>which starts in a few days.

0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:13.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean he could have it all done within two

0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:19.000
<v Speaker 2>months or three months. When's the Olympics? Four months? None?

0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:23.319
<v Speaker 2>Think of the World Cup. Yeah, that's kind of that's

0:34:23.400 --> 0:34:26.000
<v Speaker 2>a bit different. Yeah, that's okay. He's not he's not

0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 2>playing in the Soccer World Company. Well, Italy didn't even qualify,

0:34:29.000 --> 0:34:31.239
<v Speaker 2>so he's kind of fucked, is that right? Yeah?

0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow?

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Where are the other grounds? A few other things I

0:34:38.000 --> 0:34:40.520
<v Speaker 2>have known, Well, one main thing that I liked since

0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:43.440
<v Speaker 2>he's out and about. You know, it's clay. This is

0:34:43.480 --> 0:34:45.799
<v Speaker 2>the surface he loves. But did you say this video

0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:48.400
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram of I think it's his like mum just

0:34:48.440 --> 0:34:56.919
<v Speaker 2>being his coach, which kind of rules. There's something about

0:34:56.920 --> 0:34:59.520
<v Speaker 2>a lady dressed in a in a white white brim hat,

0:34:59.520 --> 0:35:03.800
<v Speaker 2>wearing a girl and dressed. It suggests to me she

0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:05.760
<v Speaker 2>knows she knows her tennis.

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:09.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she looks like she should be complaining at a cafe.

0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:12.240
<v Speaker 2>She looks like she should be like kicking out someone

0:35:12.280 --> 0:35:16.520
<v Speaker 2>she doesn't like in a public space, complaining to a manager. Yeah,

0:35:16.600 --> 0:35:17.759
<v Speaker 2>they gonna don't fit the vibe.

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:20.920
<v Speaker 1>She's upset that her satsiki was too cold.

0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:23.520
<v Speaker 2>She looks like the type of person you know when

0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:25.920
<v Speaker 2>we tried to get into that exclusive bar during the

0:35:26.640 --> 0:35:28.440
<v Speaker 2>She looks like some of the people that were already

0:35:28.440 --> 0:35:31.120
<v Speaker 2>in there looking at us, arguing with the security about

0:35:31.160 --> 0:35:31.920
<v Speaker 2>trying to get in there.

0:35:31.960 --> 0:35:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, shaking their head. Yeah, disdain well, because he's obviously

0:35:36.600 --> 0:35:39.760
<v Speaker 1>been coached by his dad forever, and there's constant chatter

0:35:39.840 --> 0:35:42.760
<v Speaker 1>between his dad and stuff on os when he's on court,

0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:45.160
<v Speaker 1>and then now adding the mom to the mix, it's

0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:47.400
<v Speaker 1>just nightmare stuff because clearly the mom and the dad

0:35:47.840 --> 0:35:51.000
<v Speaker 1>are disagreeing with each other on the tips totally.

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:54.440
<v Speaker 2>But also, like you know, sister Phats has kind of

0:35:54.440 --> 0:35:57.080
<v Speaker 2>been on this downward slide for a while. It's like,

0:35:57.200 --> 0:36:00.279
<v Speaker 2>maybe give mom a goyah, who knows what mom's up

0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:02.759
<v Speaker 2>a sleep like Dad's kind of, you know, the relationship

0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:05.279
<v Speaker 2>kind of is maybe not producing the best results. Maybe

0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:07.600
<v Speaker 2>mum's got some other kind of real tough mum love.

0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:10.000
<v Speaker 2>You know how mums can kind of inspire you in

0:36:10.040 --> 0:36:12.120
<v Speaker 2>the other way. They can just say kind of slightly

0:36:12.200 --> 0:36:15.600
<v Speaker 2>mean things and disguise them as being quite nice. You

0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:17.000
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, I do I do.

0:36:17.320 --> 0:36:21.759
<v Speaker 1>But also, how about no family? How about get an

0:36:21.760 --> 0:36:24.800
<v Speaker 1>old tennis pro to you know, coach, you have you

0:36:24.800 --> 0:36:25.840
<v Speaker 1>ever met a Greek person?

0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:28.799
<v Speaker 2>They're very into family. Okay, you do it all as

0:36:28.800 --> 0:36:32.200
<v Speaker 2>a family. Yeah yeah, I guess I don't know. Get

0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:35.239
<v Speaker 2>talent Greek sport in your box, you know, tell you

0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:37.399
<v Speaker 2>to shut up? Well yeah, yeah, just shut the fuck

0:36:37.480 --> 0:36:40.759
<v Speaker 2>up stuff, stop playing. But then the mum will probably

0:36:40.760 --> 0:36:43.000
<v Speaker 2>then go psycho with him. That's true, just start hitting

0:36:43.080 --> 0:36:45.200
<v Speaker 2>him to my boy like that. Yeah.

0:36:45.320 --> 0:36:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, since the past was starting to show

0:36:47.200 --> 0:36:49.560
<v Speaker 1>some form again in Madrid, so maybe so.

0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Maybe mum knows what's up? Yeah? Yeah, I love it.

0:36:51.560 --> 0:36:53.360
<v Speaker 2>I love it on tie mum, I want that to

0:36:53.400 --> 0:36:53.719
<v Speaker 2>be nice.

0:36:53.760 --> 0:36:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Can you do an impression of a Greek mom telling

0:36:56.120 --> 0:36:57.320
<v Speaker 1>you how to play tennis?

0:36:57.760 --> 0:36:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Australian Greek or like.

0:36:59.440 --> 0:37:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Let's go on the Greek?

0:37:01.040 --> 0:37:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh my boy, what do you call it? That is

0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:05.319
<v Speaker 2>not that is not how you play tennis. You use
