1 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,920 Hey guys, welcome to What's the Call the podcast where sports 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,120 meets side eye. We're here to breakdown the 3 00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:12,040 matches, the meltdowns and the moments that make us pause and 4 00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:14,480 say, what was that call? I'm Theo. 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,880 I'm Andrea. And we're glad you're here. 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,080 Whether you're sports obsessed or just here for the drama, 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,800 there's a seat for you courtside, so let's dive in. 8 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,200 Hi everyone. Welcome back to another episode 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:33,560 of What's the Call? Last night we saw the Miami 10 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:39,000 tournament come to an end and both Sunshine Double S were 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,160 completed, which almost never happens at the same time. 12 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:49,720 And somehow it happened. And Andrea, you totally called 13 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,760 it and I absolutely did not. I do think it's not that 14 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,920 surprising. I feel like a lot of people 15 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,600 would have called. It yeah, just given the feel, 16 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,520 what, like the state of the field. 17 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,680 I feel like there's a lot of players out. 18 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,120 It's a weird time. I don't know. 19 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,040 I feel like there are been a lot of withdrawals this season 20 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,920 already before injury. Yeah. 21 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,600 And I also just think the way that both of them all right, 22 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,560 like both Sabalenka and Sinner are dominating. 23 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,920 They look super locked in. I feel like from the beginning 24 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,280 it was pretty, pretty clear, especially with the ANEC, that 25 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,480 he was going to win. Yeah, super happy for them. 26 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,480 But yeah, they look, they look pretty untouchable, both of 27 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,520 them. And yeah, so that sort of 28 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:39,240 concludes the hardcore swing and we are on to the clay, which is 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,800 insane because it literally starts today in like Marrakech 30 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:48,240 and Houston and all around. So yeah, tennis never stops. 31 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,840 OK. Should we talk about the women's 32 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,280 side first? Sabalenka, obviously taking it 33 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,720 for your thoughts. Did you see the match? 34 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,200 I saw the beginning of the match, so Sabalenka one and 35 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,840 three. I saw the first set. 36 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,639 I thought, yeah, I thought it was a really, at least the first 37 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,600 set was really good. You could tell that it wasn't 38 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,240 going to be. I don't know. 39 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,440 I wasn't surprised that Coco took it to three sets. 40 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,400 I feel like she does kind of have Sabalenka's number. 41 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,680 You can tell that she's a little more uncomfortable playing Coco 42 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,400 than other players. Yeah, because. 43 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,240 She got past Rebecca now pretty easily in the semis as opposed 44 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,720 to Wells. Obviously that was super tight 45 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,560 in the final. But yeah, Coco definitely like 46 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,000 took it to her and made a work. For it, Yeah. 47 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,240 I thought she was really good. Her serve was a bit better and I 48 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,480 was watching her brothers cheer her on and I thought it was so 49 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,640 cute. They were so cute. 50 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,880 And it's it's, it's obviously it's her home tournament because 51 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,800 she's lives in Florida. She's not from Florida. 52 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,680 She lives there. She's bases herself there. 53 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,840 So she had her whole sort of like support team and family 54 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,200 with her. I like when there's the whole 55 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,160 sort of familial vibe around a player. 56 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,160 I think it gives them a lot of energy and they just enjoy 57 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,120 themselves a lot more. Yeah, it was sweet. 58 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,840 I think Sabalenko was kind of annoyed at them because they 59 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,520 were really loud. Are they really? 60 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,520 Really. Yeah. 61 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,880 One of the little brothers, I think is quite vocal, so funny. 62 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,640 To be fair, I think yeah, he's allowed to be, so why not? 63 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,920 Obviously you're watching your sister play in the final. 64 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:34,400 I mean, yeah, it's pretty. Love to see it. 65 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,840 I mean, just maybe back to Sabalenka, I think she's just 66 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,720 absolutely like, dominating this year, it feels like. 67 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,600 I know she didn't win Australia, but that is actually the only 68 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,920 match she's lost this season. She's 23 and one since, yeah, 69 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,280 2026 started. So which I think that's pretty 70 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,800 insane. And yeah, she obviously had a 71 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,920 pretty incredible March. I feel like it's been a year 72 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,680 since she got engaged because so much has happened in her life. 73 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,360 But yeah, it's March Madness for sure for Marina Blanca. 74 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,520 Yeah, we've said it before, but I feel like she's just on a high 75 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,520 right now and it didn't even seem like she was super locked 76 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,480 in. I mean, obviously during the 77 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,320 matches, yes, but outside of the tournament she was, you know, 78 00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:22,000 going to a bunch of events and still like, she's just killing 79 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,600 it. I think that's what sort of just 80 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,480 shows, like when you're in a good state of mind or a positive 81 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,960 headspace, let's say nothing can kind of stop you. 82 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,920 Like yeah obviously you need to put in the work and train, but 83 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,640 you don't have like the monkeys on your back putting self doubt 84 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,640 in and stuff. You just go with that. 85 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,080 Yeah, especially with her because she's obviously now 86 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,480 she's won slams and stuff, but before that she had, she had 87 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,560 pretty bad losses in finals, mental losses. 88 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,440 The serving yips as well for a while which managed to overcome. 89 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,760 But no, all, All in all, I'm loving her sort of just energy 90 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,440 on the tour right now. And I'm I'm curious to see if it 91 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,360 will translate to clay and Wimbledon. 92 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,120 But that is a slam she has not yet won. 93 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,520 I feel like she's really dominant on hard courts, but 94 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,720 less on clay. Yeah. 95 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:17,800 Yeah, let's see. Let's see. 96 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,200 I think if there were a year for her to win, obviously it's this 97 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,560 year. So yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm actually 98 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,680 very curious to see how she does this clay season. 99 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:32,120 So interestingly, did you see that one of her sponsors, Whoop, 100 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,840 the wearable tech company, published her recovery stats on 101 00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:39,800 their Instagram, which I think is pretty cool. 102 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,960 I we both wear whoops. And I will say it kind of fucks 103 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,960 with me on a daily basis. Oh, I had to take mine off, but 104 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,760 that's yeah. Why did it just like, mess with 105 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,800 your head? Yeah, it just, it kind of 106 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,000 stressed me out also because yeah, I'm like sometimes I would 107 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,600 feel OK and then I'd see my whoop and be like, wait, but 108 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,880 never mind, my recovery is terrible. 109 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,560 So I don't actually feel that good. 110 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,200 No, but I find it super interesting when I saw that they 111 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,840 published her stats. It's like OK all. 112 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,480 Right. So interesting. 113 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,360 And I'm looking at them now and she was in the green. 114 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,120 So basically green is good recovery, yellow is medium and 115 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,360 red is you don't want to see red basically. 116 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,320 So they, yeah, they revealed that she was basically having 117 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,560 like perfect recovery almost going into like the 118 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,920 quarterfinals and the day of her semi finals, she woke up with 119 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,480 60%, which isn't great. That's the yellow score. 120 00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:39,600 Obviously she still managed to secure the win. 121 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,280 And on Saturday she woke up with 97% recovery, which is insane. 122 00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:48,960 I don't think I've ever gone anywhere that near that close of 123 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,360 a recovery, but I just thought it was so interesting to see and 124 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,040 I think it's cool that they're making it public, but. 125 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,720 Yeah, it's so cool. My question to you is, do you 126 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,240 think it's real? I do think it's real just 127 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,720 because a like I saw I noticed that she was wearing OOP in 128 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,480 every single match. And also I feel like a lot of 129 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,640 them, even though there are players who aren't sponsored by 130 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,560 them who who wear it, but I feel like they wouldn't be able to 131 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,080 post to lie about these stats, right? 132 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,880 That would be false advertising. Fair. 133 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,480 And also she looked great, so I believe it. 134 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,600 I'm just like curious, I want to know like what is she doing to 135 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,120 get to 98% recovery? I was thinking. 136 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,840 That. It takes me like a week of 137 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,400 consistent sleep to get there or anywhere near tease to be 138 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,560 honest. And I'm like chuffed with myself 139 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,560 when I get there. It's a good feeling, but it's 140 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,800 also, it's interesting because like in sort of wider wearable 141 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,600 tech conversation in tennis, I think we spoke about during the 142 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,400 Australian Open that they obviously banned or it's not, or 143 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,960 they didn't ban it, Sorry, it's not yet legal. 144 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:06,120 Is it legal or loud, I guess, to wear trackers, fitness trackers. 145 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,320 And there was a whole like debate about it there. 146 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,520 But it seems on both toys you're allowed to wear them. 147 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,560 So I think it's great that they're like making use of them 148 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,240 and also sharing because I think it's super interesting for like 149 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,920 fans to see. Definitely. 150 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,320 And I feel like it's, yeah, it's just so cool to see how these 151 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,400 athletes train and yeah, what their statistics are. 152 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,200 To me, I think it's a good thing. 153 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,799 I think it can make fans feel more connected. 154 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,480 Like there's also an argument to make it sort of make them sort 155 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,720 of seem more human, which I think is good. 156 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,840 Or like male, maybe they're superhuman if they're getting to 157 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,680 98% of recovery. But some might argue that, like, 158 00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:50,960 you need to keep these kinds of things to yourself if you're an 159 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,360 elite athlete. What do you think? 160 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,320 I was thinking like, would they want their opponents to know 161 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,280 this? You know? 162 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,840 Yeah, maybe. That's why they reveal it post 163 00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,600 torn. After. 164 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,240 They're not saying what they're doing to get there, right? 165 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,160 So. There's a video featuring Arena 166 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,800 where she says how she trains and also like, another post for 167 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:15,840 recovery, another post where they post her stats after three 168 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:21,280 hours on court and what her Max heart rate is and strain and 169 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,400 recovery is after that. Yeah. 170 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,280 So they reveal quite a lot, actually. 171 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,040 OK. We usually get someone from 172 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,440 Woopon. That's what I'm going to do. 173 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,600 I know. That'll be so interesting. 174 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,680 Congrats to Arena for A defending her Miami title and B 175 00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:37,080 competing in the Sunshine Double. 176 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:43,600 She's joining a very illustrious list players who have achieved 177 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:50,240 that. Shall we move on and talk about 178 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,720 the men? I thought the men's side was a 179 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,480 little less interesting than the women's side, even though there 180 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,160 were a few good matches. And it was a very comprehensive 181 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,520 win for me. Yes, it felt like for Sinner, he 182 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:08,920 beat Yuri La Hetchika 6464 with obviously Miami style, a delayed 183 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,800 start about 90 minutes late. I was like sitting here waiting 184 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,040 for the match to start and as a result went to bed really late 185 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,320 because it got delayed. And then right when they started 186 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,760 the second set, another rain delay, I was like, bloody hell, 187 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,440 can we just get on with it? But yeah, no, actually 188 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,920 incredible. Also obviously completed the 189 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,480 Sunshine Double and all that without dropping a set the 190 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,960 entire time, and that makes him the first man to do that. 191 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,560 So yeah, he's smashing it. Which is an insane statistic, 192 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,320 that is. Yeah. 193 00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:51,200 He's so locked in it's crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. 194 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,200 It was like every match I watched him play, it's like, 195 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,240 wow, there's just no beating him when he's playing like this. 196 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,360 It's and like some of the shots he was hitting, I was just like 197 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,640 speechless, crazy. I mean, I feel like we we we 198 00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:07,720 were having the exact same conversation after Indian Wells 199 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,360 Arena and Yannick. But like the domination is just 200 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,600 crazy. Actually very happy for them. 201 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,160 You too, definitely deserved. What do you think that, yeah, 202 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,760 Nick Sinner is doing to lock in like this? 203 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,600 Like mentally? I think it comes down to his 204 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,280 motivation. I, I, you know, I hate to always 205 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,640 compare him to Carlos, but I think he has like an extra level 206 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,120 of motivation right now. And in a way, because he's #2 in 207 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,640 the world, right? So he's, he really wants to get 208 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,120 to #1. He's. 209 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,680 Vying for #1 And he, you know, has a really great opportunity 210 00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:50,200 to get to #1 you know, the next tournament, right? 211 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,760 I think he's 1000 points away from #1 If he, I think it's up 212 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,880 to him. Like if he wins Monte Carlo, he 213 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,600 becomes number one in the. World so 1 is on the line. 214 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,640 Just like. Yeah, it makes it so much more 215 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,360 exciting. But also obviously I think last 216 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,440 year was quite difficult for him with his whole doping scandal. 217 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,160 But that also means that obviously between Australia and 218 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,920 Rome, he's not defending any points. 219 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,440 So you can just like race ahead, whereas Carlos is defending a 220 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,080 bunch or has been defending. Yeah. 221 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,880 So the gap is narrowing as you say. 222 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,760 And I think motivation wise, I assume that it's you're more 223 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,520 motivated to win points than to defend points. 224 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,720 But, you know, obviously these guys have, you know, are the 225 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,000 most like competitive people. But yeah, I just, I feel like he 226 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,440 is, he just has an edge on Carlos in that sense right now. 227 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,200 So we'll see. Probably ebb and flow right? 228 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,200 I it's it sort of annoys me when there's like 1 clear favorite 229 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,880 where at least I mean it would be nice if there were even more 230 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,600 in the mix and but like the rest of the pack just needs to step 231 00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:04,800 it up in. Like it's kind of crazy that 232 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,640 they haven't played each other yet this year. 233 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,480 You know, like we say that, but they still haven't even played 234 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,200 us for some. Reason One of the two always 235 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,040 wins. Yes, for some reason we know the 236 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,560 reason. But like, yeah, yeah, they 237 00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:17,760 haven't met yet. So I feel like on the play 238 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,520 they'll probably meet because half the rest of them are like 239 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,760 injured or I don't know what. So it's time to step it up, 240 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,680 boys. But I feel like a lot of them 241 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,720 will probably kind of getting that hardcore fatigue and are 242 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,760 like ready to like now reset for the clay. 243 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,840 I'm getting hardcore fatigue so I'm ready. 244 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,320 For like, the Sunshine Double S felt like literally three months 245 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,880 or forever. Yeah, honestly. 246 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,960 Yeah, to Europe. We want it here and actually 247 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,120 here. Come back. 248 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,920 Yeah, and we can actually watch at a decent hour. 249 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,840 Exactly exciting. And how about La Hetchika? 250 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,400 We should mention him because Yuri La Hetchika played 251 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,000 incredibly well this tournament. It was his first Masters final 252 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,360 and he came into the final unbroken all tournament which is 253 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,280 really incredible and he also has dealt with a lot of injuries 254 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,800 so I'm happy for him. Me too. 255 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,200 He seems like a nice guy. I was rooting for him. 256 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:15,800 Yeah. And I think he played a good 257 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,640 final, right? He just, you know, wasn't 258 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,600 obviously good enough. First one, it's like a big stage 259 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,600 I guess. Yeah. 260 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,640 And also it can't be easy to play a final where, you know, 261 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,640 again, it's delayed 90 minutes and then you have to stop. 262 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,120 I can't imagine what that's like mentally to, especially if you, 263 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,440 if it's your first final like that's just, that's just tough, 264 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:43,120 tough for him. 100% also just need to say one last thing on 265 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,640 this and on Yannick. Like he was always going to win 266 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:55,320 Miami because it is orange themed and it's like they were 267 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,480 like his own squad like all around. 268 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,000 Like in the end when he took the picture of the trophy and the 269 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,040 ball boys I was dying as like his literary own like carrot 270 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:09,160 squad around. It's like a 10 year old like 271 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:17,560 worked out perfectly. And his outfit was so great, you 272 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,400 know, I. Feel like this was just it 273 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,680 looked great. We love to see. 274 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,320 It they did. So before we finish and wrap on 275 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,560 Miami, I feel like we do need to give a shout out to your fave. 276 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,920 And I mean, he's not just your fave. 277 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,840 I think he's great too. But Arthur Feast, I feel like he 278 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,880 just needs special mention because he really like, you 279 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,640 know, he's had a massive struggle coming back from crazy 280 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,880 injury and he just played incredibly this tournament. 281 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,480 Thoughts. Again, it's so great that he's 282 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,160 coming back from injury and doing so well, and I think his 283 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,920 loss was more out of just exhaustion because he played an 284 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,360 incredible quarterfinal match against Tommy Paul. 285 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,760 It was insane. He saved 4 match points, final 286 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,600 set, tie break. I yeah, incredible, honestly, 287 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,440 good for him. And I also, I was just kind of 288 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,240 cracking up because like obviously they're playing on 289 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,720 home turf for Tommy. He also lives in Florida, he's 290 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,280 American. And I felt like the stadium was 291 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:19,840 kind of for fees like down. I yeah, he's just, I feel like 292 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,160 it's just such a cool, likeable guy. 293 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,920 So you know. He has like star power. 294 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,440 Absolutely. I hope he continues to do well. 295 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,240 I'm again, I'm just very curious to see how these people 296 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,760 transition to to Clay. Clay 100% All in all, I feel 297 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,320 like the Sunshine Double really delivered like it's given us a 298 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,280 lot to talk about. It's definitely time to wrap it 299 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,600 VF up. It's been a good one. 300 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,320 It's been a great one. Love to see both sides complete 301 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,920 the Sunshine Double. I feel like that doesn't really 302 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,560 happen or one player on both sides complete the Sunshine 303 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,600 Double doesn't really happen that often. 304 00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:01,240 So that was really cool to see. Also, just one last thing on 305 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:07,040 Miami, did you notice that the ball kids, quote UN quote, 306 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,480 there's no age limit on the ball kids in Miami? 307 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,839 So you literally have pensioners working the courts. 308 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,200 It just cracks me up. And like, it's just Florida. 309 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,119 It's like, because Florida is like kind of why people go to 310 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,240 retire. I don't know. 311 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,160 Yeah. Like, they're just that like 312 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,360 trying to, you know, I don't know, like, relive their youth. 313 00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:38,120 I know I'm like, is it healthy for them to be out there? 314 00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:41,160 In the heat. Running around so much. 315 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,640 So there was one that they kept showing and I was like, dude, 316 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,280 you're the MVP of the tournament. 317 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,040 It's pretty funny. I mean, it's nice. 318 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,440 It's a good way to change it up. You know, they're not Aegis at 319 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,520 the Miami Open. We'd like to see it. 320 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,440 But yeah, I just thought it was quite funny. 321 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,760 OK. And with that, we are just going 322 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,160 to leave Miami be Miami. I don't need to say the word 323 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,560 vibe again till next year. RIP the vibe. 324 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,400 And they're moving on to the clay. 325 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,840 OK, so there are a few two 50s this week, but we have another 326 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,120 Masters coming up next week. Monte Carlo, one of my 327 00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,160 favorites. Coming thick and fast. 328 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,560 We will be there. I'm very excited. 329 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,520 Me too, I'm super excited. It's also our first tournament 330 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,960 together since we started this podcast. 331 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,960 So some boots on the ground journalism. 332 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,320 Greg hates to see me coming. I'm going to go. 333 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,560 Serious stuff. Good, serious stuff. 334 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,840 I'm going to just like, flag everybody down. 335 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,960 I can't wait. Oh my God, I will be hiding. 336 00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:54,480 I've seen me hiding and I'm going to be like, hey, no, let's 337 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,200 see, Let's see what happens. But yeah, no, really, really 338 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,920 excited for that. And there's already some news, 339 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:07,600 which is that Djokovic withdrew and Taylor Fritz has also 340 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,240 withdrawn. So, yeah, the drawers are 341 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,720 opening up before it's even gotten started. 342 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,760 But I don't know. It makes it exciting. 343 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,840 I feel like the inevitable will probably happen, which is the 344 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,920 Yannick or Carlos will win. But I don't know. 345 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,920 I feel like there are a few contenders that could make a run 346 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,600 not only in Monte Carlo but across the play season. 347 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,880 Like there are men, so many opportunities. 348 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,560 There's going to be so much for us to talk about. 349 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,440 Who do you think might make a run on the clay? 350 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,480 Well, Yannick obviously is. He's so incredible on hard court 351 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,640 and he's amazing on every surface. 352 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,400 But like Clay, he maybe doesn't dominate as much. 353 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,040 I say this probably end up winning. 354 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:54,440 And also he doesn't have that long to transition or to 355 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,520 acclimate to clay now. So I do think it's more of an 356 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,720 open tournament. Who would I pick to do well, 357 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,520 Sasha. Yeah, like Sasha. 358 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,120 Will probably do pretty well. He's great on clay and he's been 359 00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:13,800 pretty consistent. Yeah, and he's been, I was going 360 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,920 to say Musetti because I love him and I think he's, he's 361 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,760 really talented on the clay, but he is injured at the moment, so 362 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,360 not him. I don't know, maybe Arthur fees 363 00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:30,080 again. Yeah, definitely. 364 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,200 Holger Rune, if he makes a comeback at some point during 365 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,160 the season, yeah, I'd love to see him back. 366 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,960 Casper the Clay King. He's ready. 367 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,600 He's ready. He's the Neil. 368 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,680 The Neil hates the Clay. But. 369 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,640 I know. He had a bit of a breakthrough 370 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,720 on the clay, like for his standards so. 371 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,400 Yeah. Maybe he's, maybe he'll crack 372 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,640 the code at the ripe old age of 28. 373 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,400 I don't know. No, but it'll be interesting to 374 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,840 see because yeah, Monte Carlo comes, as we said, like so 375 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,400 quickly after the hard. It's, it's the ones who can make 376 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,280 the transition the smoothest. And I guess so it'll be really 377 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,160 interesting to see and I'm super excited to be there live. 378 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,800 I think it's the most beautiful tournament it is. 379 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,280 A stunning setting and I can't wait to be back. 380 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,320 Women. Their first masters is Madrid on 381 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,680 the clay, which is obviously a combined Masters. 382 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:31,840 But yeah, curious on that side too, who might make some runs 383 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,280 across the clay season? Sabalenka, it's not her strong 384 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,360 point or her strong suit, rather, Ego seems to be having a 385 00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:42,120 bit of a crisis as we've discussed so. 386 00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:44,960 I would have picked Ego usually, but yeah, I feel like she's. 387 00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:47,920 I want to see. I want to see Coco do well. 388 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,400 Me too. She's defending title, right? 389 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,560 Defending. Yeah, she'd be Arena. 390 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,520 Yeah, yeah. So, oh, yes, it was that whole 391 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,040 press conference scandal. I also just we want more beef 392 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,320 between the players, but who else? 393 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,720 I don't know. Rebecca now she's not. 394 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,040 She's kind of good on every surface. 395 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,960 Jessica Pagula, I would love to see her do well on clay. 396 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,360 Americans struggle on clay because they. 397 00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:19,040 Just I know over there they don't have clay courts. 398 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,920 Yeah, but I love it when I know. I mean, Coco won. 399 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,680 So yeah, I love to see it again. An American do well on on a 400 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,680 different surface or on a clay. But I think it is. 401 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,000 It's more open. Yeah, like I want to see like 402 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,400 Victoria, Boko do well. Alexeyala. 403 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,360 Alexeyala. Yeah. 404 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,200 Eva Jovic. Jovic. 405 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,080 I keep calling her. Jovic is Jovic. 406 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,960 Austin Penko. Austin Penko. 407 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,960 She's quite good on clay, isn't she? 408 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,600 Yeah, she won. She won the French Open. 409 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,840 Of course, but yeah, so we'll, I mean, they'll obviously be 410 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,160 playing smaller tournaments before Madrid, but we'll cover 411 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,760 them in Madrid for sure. Also news out of Madrid, which I 412 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,120 thought was so interesting and cool to see that they're going 413 00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:08,240 to be using the Bernabeu stadium. 414 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,400 Can you also say in the Spanish accent because I'm saying it 415 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,320 wrong. Bernabeu. 416 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,160 There we go. Bernabeu. 417 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,480 They're using it as a they're transforming the the stadium 418 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,920 into practice courts, which I think is incredible. 419 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,160 I mean, not that Real Madrid need more money, but you know, 420 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,400 it's a good little like a side hustle for them. 421 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,160 No, I think it's so cool. I would love to go and see 422 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,640 players practice and I'm. Sick. 423 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,120 Are they going to allow people in? 424 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,320 I'm guessing I. Mean yeah it. 425 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,680 Must be. Also, it's great because it's so 426 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,920 central, right? And like this, the actual site, 427 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,120 the Kaha, yeah, kaha. Mahika. 428 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,840 Far, Kaha Mahika is far. Yeah, I remember we went to that 429 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,520 tournament together and it was like, yeah, we did. 430 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,600 Yeah, yeah. I mean, it would be silly for 431 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:04,040 them not to let spectators in. Yeah, I'm. 432 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,560 I'm sure they will. I'm sure. 433 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:11,840 And I loved the promo that Philly Lopez, Feliciano Lopez 434 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,280 rather he is the tournament director of the Madrid Open, but 435 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,080 also an ex player. Obviously, we love it. 436 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,720 He and Garbinia Muguruza did like a promo and it was like it 437 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,240 was pretty cool the way they shot it like out of the locker 438 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,040 room and walking onto the court at the Benabeo. 439 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,480 I just can't say it. It's just my Spanish is not it. 440 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:43,880 Yeah, actually it's pretty good. No, but again, we love a sports 441 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,200 crossover. And Carlos is about huge Real 442 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,160 Madrid fan. Huge Real Madrid fan and it's 443 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,160 such an iconic venue. So I think it's great that 444 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,600 tennis sort of, even if it's just for practice, gets to have 445 00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:03,560 its time in the stadium as well. OK, so before we wrap up the 446 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,680 episode, there are a few sort of happenings that we should maybe 447 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,680 touch on. And it's always fun to talk 448 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:14,240 about off off court. So first of all, Carlos Alcaraz 449 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:19,480 has come under fire from ex British tennis player Greg 450 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,760 Rosetsky, who is also sort of now a big set of tennis pundit. 451 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,160 He called him out for having too much of A social life. 452 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,080 I was dying. I was like, damn. 453 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:34,320 Oh. God, yeah, that's rough. 454 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:39,080 It's roughly because I believe all these guys deserve to have a 455 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,760 life outside the court as well. And they really don't. 456 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,960 They really. Like they just don't have time. 457 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,040 It really. If you're going deep in every 458 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,720 tournament. I think his point was more like 459 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,360 he needs to focus on his recovery as well a bit more. 460 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,120 Yeah, like. Use the time off or when he 461 00:25:58,120 --> 00:26:02,680 loses early to really just reset recover and not like go play 462 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,120 paddle. I know, I mean, I think he has a 463 00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:09,320 point because Carlos posted this what's it called the carousel 464 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:14,840 and not his time in Miami and he clearly was on a boat at some 465 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,720 point went to Miami FC, game played, paddle was just I. 466 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:20,920 Mean. Also obviously went to a Heat 467 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,920 game. If that energizes him, then 468 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,800 there's definitely an argument for doing it right. 469 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,440 Yeah, I think probably what, you know, he did lose pretty early 470 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,440 on in the tournament, so it didn't work out well for him. 471 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,160 I know the clubs burnt him out. Yeah, I was also confused about 472 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,880 his, you know, him playing paddle. 473 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,240 Like really? I don't know, I feel like. 474 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,160 Isn't the last thing and. Also playing He was also playing 475 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,200 golf. Yeah, isn't the last thing you 476 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,640 want like the golf I get because I think he loves it, but like, 477 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,240 isn't the last thing you want to do when you're out of a 478 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,320 tournament is go and play another racket sport? 479 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,160 I don't know, but maybe. You know, it's like I was truly 480 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,760 perplexed. I mean, paddle is different, 481 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:14,400 obviously, and it's super fun and I think arguably more fun to 482 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,680 play than tennis. I don't know if Carlos feels 483 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,200 that way. So I guess it's huge in Miami 484 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,920 and huge in Spain. Yeah, I thought he'd be on the I 485 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,040 mean, that's what he said at his press conference after his loss, 486 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,880 that he'd be on the first plane back to Mercia and behold, he 487 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,240 was playing paddle the next day. Yeah. 488 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,720 Also there's there's been a slew of ads for Carlos Alcaraz that 489 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,560 have come out this week. So the first was his new yacht 490 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,760 sponsorship. Sun Reef Yachts is the name of 491 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,760 the company they released. Like they obviously shot like a 492 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,120 whole campaign with him and it's just absolutely hilarious. 493 00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:55,080 So if you haven't seen him, go watch it. 494 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,080 What? What do you think? 495 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,600 Tell me. The campaign is. 496 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,360 I mean, he doesn't. He's not smiling in a single. 497 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,480 Shot he's. Doing a model pose the whole 498 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,360 time looks like it's a Vogue shoot. 499 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,960 Like. I'm I'm confused what about what 500 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,720 the what the vision was for it? Surely he loves being at sea. 501 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,600 I mean, I'm sure they told him because he never looks mis when 502 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,320 he does anything, right? So they probably wanted him to, 503 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,800 like, give the sort of blue steel situation. 504 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,800 I don't know, it. The whole thing just cracked me 505 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,160 up. And I think that, like, has sort 506 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,040 of fed the discourse around what is he doing off the court. 507 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,760 Right? Yeah, yeah. 508 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,560 A lot of distractions. Tommy Paul wants a bit of that. 509 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:52,800 He's a big seaman. Seaman, seaman, seaman, seaman, 510 00:28:54,800 --> 00:29:00,760 seaman. He's a big seaman. 511 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,800 Is that a word? Yachtsman. 512 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,360 Boatsman. Seaman is a word. 513 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,680 He's a big seaman. OK, well, we, we know Tommy, 514 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,920 Paul loves to fish. He also got a new boat this 515 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,320 week. But when you compare it to 516 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,840 Carlos's yacht, it's like, OK, but he commented underneath. 517 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,760 Wow, loads of WS. And then I'm expecting an 518 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,760 invite. So Carlos, everyone's a PC or 519 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,920 yacht. Yeah. 520 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,600 Yeah, what a sponsorship. Not bad, yeah. 521 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,000 It's not bad to be Carlos Algras right now. 522 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,840 It's not a bad, but it's not a lot of distractions. 523 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:43,520 But also today his new Evian ad came out which. 524 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,360 This one was even weirder than the yacht. 525 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,920 I mean the final ad looks so fake and photoshopped. 526 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,480 It looks like an AI. Image of all of that. 527 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,840 Of all of them, yeah. I'm also perplexed by this one. 528 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,360 I get the sponsor, obviously, Evian, great. 529 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,280 But what? Yeah. 530 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,240 What was their vision here? But anyway, there's like a few 531 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,440 others in it, among them Emiratu Kanu. 532 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,960 So I'm just like Alcaraz or Carlos is in 7th heaven because 533 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,560 I think he's probably still crushing. 534 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,960 I mean he loves her, he likes all of her posts like. 535 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,840 Do you have post notifications on for him bro? 536 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:29,440 Because anytime I open my Instagram and like she'll have 537 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,640 posted 10 minutes ago, he'll already have liked. 538 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,240 I know. It's been like a year. 539 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,360 And she's clearly friends owned him. 540 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,800 Yes, but I think he was absolutely because I saw that 541 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,200 everyone was on the shoot together at the same time. 542 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,960 So he was like probably like hell yeah spent like a day on 543 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,320 the air beyond shoot. I don't know, I mean this and 544 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,680 we're we're in no position to comment, but that's just what it 545 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,120 comes across as. It's too funny. 546 00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,440 One day he'll. Get there, maybe. 547 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:00,880 I'd love to see them. I ship them. 548 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,280 You do ship them.

We should have gone there. 554 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,080 Flagged him down. Yeah, we should have known. 555 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,400 We should have known. We should have known we were not 556 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,600 clued in enough. And then I also saw that he went 557 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,880 to have dinner at Cambio de Tessio. 558 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,560 Here I am again with the Spanish A. 559 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,280 Lot of Spanish words for you this episode. 560 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,640 It's still.

And Rafa always goes, Carlos 566 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,640 always goes or orders take out from there. 567 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,480 And Roger went after his Uniqlo launch. 568 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,720 They posted about it and I'm like God damn it. 569 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,680 We should have known we just stalked that restaurant. 570 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,640 I know during Wimbledon, 100% go there every night. 571 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,720 Yeah, I'll be croquetted out. Jesus Christ. 572 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,640 Clearly, Rafa told Roger, not the Roger. 573 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,360 Restaurant in London was like go here. 574 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:31,560 We'll be there come July. Expect to see us now. 575 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:37,360 No players. OK, OK, enough of this. 576 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:38,880 It's time to wrap. OK. 577 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,960 So we're on to the final call. Hit me. 578 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,200 Who is going to choke in Monte Carlo? 579 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,240 Oh, savage. I like it. 580 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,560 Good one. I'm going to say, and I hate to 581 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,800 say it, I really hate to say it because I'm a big fan, but I've 582 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,040 been bombing my predictions just like these players. 583 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,880 Players are going to bomb Monte Carlo. 584 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,840 So I'm going to say, and I'm sorry because I am a fan, Andre 585 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,840 Rublev, the guy cannot make it past what feels like a 586 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,880 quarterfinal, so I feel like he's just going to bottle it. 587 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:21,680 I hope not, but I I think he will Also because my because my 588 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,640 predictions are so awful, maybe this will mean the exact 589 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,600 opposite happens, in which case I'll be very happy. 590 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,120 What about you? I'm going to say, I know I just 591 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:37,200 said that Sasha's going to do well in the clay season, but I 592 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,000 think he's going to choke in the final of Montrello. 593 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,640 Yeah, I can see. Chokes in every final, pretty 594 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,520 much so. But he does. 595 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,880 But then that's totally legitimate because that is still 596 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,560 doing well, like getting to a finals. 597 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,600 Pretty solid I would say. Yeah, obviously solid for a 598 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,800 player like him. It's it's, you know. 599 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,320 It's expected to get to the final and then yeah. 600 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:09,639 But yeah, stay tuned everybody.
