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 break down 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 --> 00:00:16,840 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 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,280 Hi, everyone. Welcome back to another episode 9 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,119 of What's the Call? Andrea, How's it going? 10 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,440 I feel like we we were worried that we weren't going to have 11 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,240 that much to talk about, but a lot has happened in the last 12 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,480 couple of days so. A lot has happened. 13 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,920 Miami doesn't disappoint. I feel like this tournament is 14 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,360 less about form, more about vibes. 15 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,080 True. I agree. 16 00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:52,920 I also promised myself I'd use the word vibes less in this 17 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,640 episode because I can't stand it. 18 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,520 When I was listening back to the last one I was like wow. 19 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,360 I said like too much, which is a case every week vibes too much 20 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,320 and obviously too much. So keep me honest and make sure 21 00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:11,960 I don't say it again. OK so last week our final call 22 00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:13,600 was who's going to be at the club? 23 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,240 And the answer is. Everyone. 24 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,200 Everyone's at the club. Like the entire tour, both ATP 25 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:27,280 and WTA is at the club. Yeah, it seems there were a 26 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,240 bunch of parties happening last week. 27 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,960 I feel like across those parties, most people showed up. 28 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,520 Yeah, crazy. Even right back in a went to a 29 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,600 party, which is surprising, yeah. 30 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,360 She is an introvert, to say the least. 31 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,960 But yeah, I mean, seeing her up here at clubs quite funny. 32 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,040 Or party. Let's say Dave Gutmann also 33 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,680 threw a party. He's sort of what the king of 34 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,520 nightlife in Miami, would you say? 35 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,600 That party looked so fun. Yeah, he owns like every 36 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,720 restaurant in town. Yeah, almost. 37 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,880 And he loves tennis. And he loves tennis. 38 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,600 And he hosted, like, the unofficial player party. 39 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,280 Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah, the unofficial 40 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,800 players party and loads of people showed up. 41 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,360 And Sabalenka I feel like was the star of the show. 42 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,120 I mean, at least her outfit of the installer show. 43 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:33,160 That was kind of crazy. Her outfit was, yeah, crazy. 44 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,880 Do you want to describe it for those listening who haven't seen 45 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:43,040 it? She was wearing a tiger print 46 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,800 fur jacket. Is it tiger? 47 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,760 Yeah, she's. Tiger, because that's her 48 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,920 animal. She she has the big tiger tattoo 49 00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:55,080 on her forearm. OK, I mean the jacket is insane 50 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,040 in Miami. I could, yeah. 51 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,520 Like you're at the beach. Yeah. 52 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,200 Like what is happening? It's like a massive it was like 53 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,040 not even a jacket was a coat. Oh, sorry, Coat. 54 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,200 I mean, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 55 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,120 It's even warmer to wear a coat. It's huge. 56 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,280 Jacket huge. In Miami in March. 57 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,240 At the beach, Yeah. I mean, leave it to her. 58 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,960 She basically, I, I saw an interview with her yesterday 59 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,000 where, I don't know, I think Tennis Channel was asking her 60 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,520 like what the deal was with the jacket. 61 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,960 And she was like, I've been wanting this jacket for so long. 62 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,560 And like, then obviously now she's sponsored by Gucci. 63 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:35,040 It's a Gucci coat slash jacket. And they weren't able to get it 64 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,120 for her. But then her stylist she works 65 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,840 with, Carla Welch, managed to source this coat for her, and 66 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,400 she just felt she should wear it in Miami at the beach. 67 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,000 I don't know. She just, I feel like she just 68 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,360 gives no fucks. She just. 69 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,400 Does what she. Wants to do and. 70 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,520 None of that. Her TikTok this week has also 71 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,760 been on fire. So funny. 72 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,080 Yeah. So she went with her, I guess, 73 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,240 fiance, who also was sort of like, decked out to the twin 74 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,600 lines. Like, their outfits were quite 75 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,440 aggressive, I feel like. Yeah. 76 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,040 He was wearing a Bottega. Leather jacket. 77 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,720 I mean, listen, they match, right? 78 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,880 Like I feel like they go well together clearly. 79 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,800 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean to be fair, they both 80 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,440 make enough money to like those. Things so true. 81 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,080 True. Fine. 82 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,640 Well, going back to Evacana, you're going to describe her 83 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,400 outfit. This is different party, but 84 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,640 still. Evacana is just so funny. 85 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,440 The contrast between her and Sabalenka. 86 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,920 She was wearing a pantsuit. It looked like she was going to 87 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,760 work. Conference like they both looked 88 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,640 a good, but yeah. It takes all sorts of people to 89 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,840 make this world. Yeah, you've got really like 2 90 00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:48,080 ends of the spectrum. That's really, it was really 91 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,080 quite funny. But I will say that party at 92 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,160 Gecko looked really fun. All our faves showed up. 93 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,720 So yeah, we had a bit of FOMO. Definitely next year. 94 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,600 And then what else have people been up to? 95 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,320 Carlos went to the Heat game. Zverev went to the Heat game. 96 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,560 I think a bunch of others were at the game. 97 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,480 But yeah, what was Carlos doing at the Heat game? 98 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,720 There's this picture of him or a video of him just surrounded by 99 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,560 women. Like a. 100 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,040 Bevy of women. Good looking. 101 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:17,520 Women, yes. Turns out I didn't realize it 102 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,880 was Wozniacki Caroline Wozniacki at first. 103 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,560 No, no one did. So she came out and was like 104 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,160 that's me and all my married friends, OK. 105 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,480 And so she like, quote, tweeted it or something, and everyone 106 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,600 then was like, why are you saying that they're married, 107 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,440 blah, blah, blah. Like, is that relevant? 108 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,120 And it's like, well, I think she was just trying to say like, 109 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,680 everyone calm down. Yeah, it's not like. 110 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,200 Because everyone was like, oh, look at Carlos with all these 111 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,880 women, Like beautiful women, blah, OK. 112 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,720 Exactly. And then she posted a picture of 113 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,040 like, the group as well, so you could see that it was her. 114 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,480 But yeah, I I don't know, I feel like Miami's one of the only 115 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,440 tournaments where players feel like celebrities first, athletes 116 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,040 second. Would you agree? 117 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,600 Yeah, it's like these lead up events that aren't even part of 118 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,040 the open, but exactly they're all participating. 119 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,560 It's fun and I like to see it because it look it feels like 120 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,640 the whole city is really involved and all the events in 121 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:25,760 the city revolve around the tennis, which I like to see. 122 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,920 That means that what is spreading? 123 00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:32,440 Yeah. I guess the question is, does 124 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,720 this kind of environment loosen players up or distract them? 125 00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:38,680 What would you say? I think it depends on the 126 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,120 player. You know, yeah. 127 00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:45,280 Like someone. Like, Sabalenka spreads her on 128 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,400 and she's like thrives in that energy. 129 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:53,240 And yeah, I feel like the whole the whole vibe at the tournament 130 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,760 seems fun. I feel like we should try and go 131 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:56,400 next year. Oh. 132 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,200 Absolutely, we have to go. Sometime soon hopefully. 133 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,920 It looks really fun. I saw some like influencer 134 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,800 videos about the food on site. They have like ridiculous food. 135 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,880 They have this hot dog called the Glizzy which is like a 136 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,440 Wagyu. Sausage. 137 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,600 It's so, it's so absurd. So absurd. 138 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,000 Yeah. I mean, I don't know how to 139 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,640 think of the name, but it's called the Glizzy. 140 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:33,440 It is a Wagyu sausage in a croissant bun topped with like a 141 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,160 tin of caviar, Like proper caviar, but you know, small tin 142 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,280 but still some sort of very fancy cheese and then gold leaf. 143 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,400 And it costs like 100 bucks and it's like 2 bites. 144 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,000 Yes, the people in Miami buy it. I don't. 145 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,200 Know that doesn't sound particularly good to me, but you 146 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,080 know. Me neither, not my vibe at all. 147 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,520 No. At all No, I think then they 148 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,400 have like some famous like Miami like slice shop there as well 149 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,920 for pizza and. The pizza looked amazing. 150 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,960 I will say the pizza looked really good. 151 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,320 They have an ace Margarita, which is like the signature 152 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:14,200 drink, and then they also have a froze I I absolutely cannot 153 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:19,480 stand that word. Froze frozen rose in a tennis 154 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,680 ball shaped glass. All that to say we need to go 155 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,120 see for ourselves and like make the call ourselves. 156 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,200 Yeah, yes or no? Agree. 157 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,480 Yeah. So I don't know, I feel like 158 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,480 let's should we do like a rating OK, on a few different factors. 159 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,760 K1 vibes, even though we we, we didn't want to use that word, 160 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,080 but vibes. Vibes 4.5. 161 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,680 OK, I'll give it 5 I feel. Like the five surrounding the 162 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:51,040 tournament are cool, but the. Yes, the tournament itself, the. 163 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,640 Tournament is not that great, no. 164 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,880 So maybe a four, yeah. Yeah, OK, aesthetics. 165 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,240 I give it a 2 so. Yeah, same. 166 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,640 Yeah, yeah. Chaos Factor. 167 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,120 However, I give it a 10 out of five. 168 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,920 Agreed. A 110%. 169 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,600 I feel like everyone's just running around doing crazy 170 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,480 things. And then, yeah, you have Yakov 171 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:19,440 Menzig, the defending champion, posing by a cop car with a tank 172 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,560 top that says I'm in Miami, bitch. 173 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:30,440 Oh my God, I yeah. I mean, I guess Miami brings out 174 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,640 the crazy. I thought it was an AI image. 175 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,760 Let's be sure it's real before we throw them under the bar. 176 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,800 No, it's real, but it's real. Yeah, well, it seems like Miami 177 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,040 really is. Sort of his house because he's 178 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,800 still in the tournament, playing Big Foe later. 179 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,960 So let's see if he can take it to him. 180 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,120 I feel like Big Foe always sort of like loves the big stage in 181 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,280 the USI. Would pick him to win that 182 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:03,640 match. On top of all the chaos on the 183 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,320 player side and the hilarious sort of footage that's come out 184 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,640 of the tournament, Miami might also have the most unserious 185 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,960 crowd on tour. The crowd is unhinged at Miami. 186 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,440 What's happened with the crowd? There's just been so many funny 187 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:27,440 moments with the crowd. I love the Kuroda girls so. 188 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,480 I think the Kuroda girls is sort of a spin off of the Kuroda 189 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,200 boys, who, for those who don't know, are like Yannick Sinners 190 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,120 biggest sort of fans. And they travel to multiple 191 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,760 tournaments a year to support him. 192 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:46,200 And they sit in the crowd in carrot costumes because, you 193 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,880 know, Yannick's a redhead. I don't think he loves that. 194 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,640 And he's still trying to make his symbol be the fox, but the 195 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,640 carrot just always overshadows what he wants. 196 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,120 I don't think he's ever getting rid of the carrot. 197 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,960 Yeah, he's he's he can try to make Fox happen as much as he 198 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,240 likes. It's not going to happen. 199 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,640 It's always going to be the carrots. 200 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,880 But anyway, in Miami, the Kuroda girl seems to have serviced. 201 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,040 And I feel like for Yannick, who never breaks character, you 202 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,120 know, he's like very sort of steely faced on the court. 203 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,000 They came up on, like, the Jumbotron in the stadium while 204 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,640 he was on a changeover, like sitting down, and they flashed 205 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,800 up the Corona girls. He couldn't help himself start 206 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,600 laughing. I was like, oh, yeah, they made 207 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,360 you. They made you crack. 208 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,040 Yeah, But they were just there and, like, waving signs. 209 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,200 It's just pretty funny. With their little like. 210 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,720 Carrot and carrot like carrot headbands. 211 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,040 Funny. And then we also had Carlos. 212 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,680 Carlos also, I mean, Carlos, it's not breaking character for 213 00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:53,800 Carlos because Carlos laughs at everything, even at his own 214 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,360 mistakes on court. But yeah, he was also caught 215 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:02,200 laughing at this girl. This girl had like a sign and 216 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,760 she made with like a photoshopped image of him and 217 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,600 her on their wedding day. People are just absolutely 218 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,560 insane. I mean it sort of makes me 219 00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:17,160 cringe but. I think it's funny. 220 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,200 It's funny, I guess it's just for me to see this kind of thing 221 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,640 go down in the crowd having, you know, been born and raised in 222 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:29,960 England and grown up around Wimbledon where you cannot even 223 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,040 like there's no science allowed. It's pretty funny always to see. 224 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,960 But I, I mean, I don't know. Do you think it's good for 225 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,840 tennis or does it cross the line? 226 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,640 What would you say? I think it's funny, like I don't 227 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,320 see it happening again. Maybe at Wimbledon wouldn't it 228 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,760 would kind of, it wouldn't work just because that's not the vibe 229 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,600 there. But I feel like it's fun to see 230 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,280 those things on the Jumbotron. It's very American. 231 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,480 It's very American. I think it's funny too, and I 232 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:58,600 think that it's good for the sport again because it like sort 233 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,000 of moves it further away from that sort of like strict and 234 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,840 like image that it might have. Do you know what I mean? 235 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,920 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, totally. 236 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,640 Anyway, good for her trying to pitch herself that way. 237 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,680 She got the camera's attention. She got his attention. 238 00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:16,560 So exactly, exactly it was a good move. 239 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:22,560 OK, Well, we did speak about this last week, the rain delays 240 00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:25,600 wrecking the schedules. I feel like it frustrated 241 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,080 certain players a little bit and to be fair, like it was really 242 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,360 intense. I think on Friday that was like 243 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,760 a crazy number of matches that they had to squeeze into one day 244 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,400 because it had just been rained out before that. 245 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,680 Yeah, I wonder if they can never put like cover over. 246 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,720 I think probably not unlikely, probably not, no. 247 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,320 Well. Sabalenko was not happy because 248 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,200 there was a rumor that her match was going to be cancelled or 249 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,440 moved to a smaller court. Yeah, it was. 250 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,880 Oh, it was. She wanted her match to be 251 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,240 cancelled. I think that's what it was. 252 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,600 And instead of like cancelling it and rescheduling. 253 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,360 So the following day she was obviously meant to play on 254 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,520 stadium, which is the Centre Court in Miami. 255 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:20,560 They decided to put her on Butch Buckle. 256 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,920 So I think it's called court. I think it's that's the second 257 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,880 court and bring Alcaraz Fonseca forward and obviously they're 258 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,360 both world number ones. And she was like, well, why did 259 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,840 I get booted to the 2nd court or the smaller court, let's say? 260 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,600 And she was just like, her point was more like, well, we're both 261 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,600 number ones. Why did they get to stay on 262 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,160 stadium and. I'm not with her on this one, 263 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,240 honestly. Then they were never going to 264 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,800 move that much to a smaller court. 265 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,480 No, of course not. Like it's not just #1 Carlos 266 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,760 Alcaraz playing, it's him playing Fonseca who's has for 267 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,040 like a huge fan base Brazilian and has a huge fan base in 268 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,000 Miami. Like it's a, you know, it's a 269 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,480 much bigger. Ticket last year there was that 270 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,920 whole issue with like people couldn't get in for his match 271 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,320 and it was like overcrowding and it was almost like a hazard. 272 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,680 Yeah, put him on a smaller court and you know, it's definitely a 273 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,000 bigger ticket match. Like at the end of the day, I do 274 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,360 feel for the tournament, tournament director, like he has 275 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,560 to make these calls. Like they have a bottom line 276 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,880 they need to cater to or cater for rather. 277 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,000 And obviously it made more sense to keep that match there. 278 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,560 But I think her point was more like why can't they just start 279 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,320 later? Yeah, OK. 280 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,240 Yeah. But in the I also don't think 281 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,320 it's a bad shout to have bigger names on the side courts because 282 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,080 it gives people the opportunity to see the big players who don't 283 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,520 otherwise. Yeah, especially early rounds. 284 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,960 Exactly, most seeds on both sides are left in like top 285 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,800 seeds. There have been two major upsets 286 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,480 so far and we're recording on Monday. 287 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,240 So this is up till now. Before people say that we're 288 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,960 lagging behind the first, should we talk about ego? 289 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:12,240 She on tech she lost in the first round and I believe or the 290 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,680 second round because she had a buy in the first round, but it's 291 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:23,560 the first time in several years that she has lost in the second 292 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,800 round of consecutive masses 1000 believe that's that. 293 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,560 Well, yeah, she's just not in a great place. 294 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,680 No, she's not a good, great place. 295 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,200 She went to press after the match and said that tennis feels 296 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,880 complicated in her head and then she's having the worst nightmare 297 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,200 a tennis player can have. But obviously I don't. 298 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,920 She didn't go into details about what that nightmare is, but I 299 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,960 can only imagine. I think sometimes as a player 300 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,440 you can get into like a flow state and everything just goes, 301 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,600 whereas other times like you overthink. 302 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,360 I mean, I would love to get your take on this because it's sort 303 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,640 of that psych angle that maybe you can speak to. 304 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,040 She also said that she's always been an overthinker, but that 305 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:14,160 it's even more intense now than. I wonder what triggers that do 306 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,720 you have? Like theory. 307 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,400 I mean, I guess we've always said this like tennis is, is 308 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,599 such a mental sport. So if something isn't going 309 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:25,400 right and you get stuck in this very negative headspace, it's, 310 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,240 you know, it's, it's really hard to get out of. 311 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,240 And you guys always famously worked with a sports 312 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,760 psychologist and, you know, it was working really well because 313 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,840 that crazy run a few years ago. But now I think, you know, it 314 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,640 probably doesn't help. But, and this is what we said 315 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,000 time and time, time and time again, like, the tour is so 316 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,520 intense. The schedule is so intense. 317 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,440 These players rarely get a break. 318 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,160 And I think it can be really hard to get out of that kind of 319 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,720 headspace when you don't really get a break from it. 320 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,960 And, you know, it's so, like, all consuming. 321 00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:00,200 I hope that she's able to take some time off now and reset 322 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,440 before Clay and and she can get some better results. 323 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,320 But we have something, something has to has to give as well. 324 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,400 Yeah. Yeah, I think she was one of the 325 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,240 first to sort of like, openly say she's working with a sports 326 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,760 psychologist back when she started. 327 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,280 The name of the psychologist is Daria Brahmowich, I think a 328 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,920 Brahmowitz. But she seemed to have a really 329 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,840 positive impact on her. And she's like a very steady and 330 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,280 constant figure in her box, which not many people have. 331 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:37,120 But just a few hours ago, Iga Shiontik said she announced that 332 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,440 she's parting ways with her coach, Winferset, who she's been 333 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,120 working with now for just over a year and who helped her claim 334 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,960 her first Wimbledon title last year. 335 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,240 So, yeah, I'm guessing that it must have been on the rocks. 336 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,360 I mean, you never know. Was it was firing him a 337 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,000 consequence of the loss she had a few days ago? 338 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,560 Or was there already something going on that maybe contributed 339 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,440 to her loss? Yeah, I think the vibes in her 340 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:11,440 box were not good, so my guess is they were probably already on 341 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,160 the rocks and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. 342 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,320 Yeah, I mean, I feel badly for her because I think she puts a 343 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,520 lot of pressure on herself. So hopefully she can now reset, 344 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,600 find new coach. Curious to see who it's going to 345 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,720 be. Spoiler alert, it's not going to 346 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,440 be dummy team. Stay tuned to end of episode 347 00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:37,360 more on that. So yeah, best of luck to her, I 348 00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:39,240 guess. Yeah. 349 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:40,520 Yeah. Yeah. 350 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:49,360 Another major loss in Miami last night was Carlos. 351 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,040 Yeah, what the hell? Carlos pissed. 352 00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:59,760 I am I'm pissed too, but I'm I this is another also not that 353 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,920 shocked. You're not quiet. 354 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,560 No, no. I feel like again, it goes back 355 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,200 to him maybe just needing a break. 356 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,240 He kept saying. So he lost in in three sets to 357 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,960 Sebastian Korda and throughout the match he was saying to his 358 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:21,440 box, I just want to go home. And I think he probably also 359 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,480 just needs a bit of a break now. I think he needs a break too. 360 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:31,160 And also I just, I think to myself, he's achieved so much. 361 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,200 Like he needs to get in the mindset of like every tournament 362 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,800 still counts. Do you know what I mean? 363 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,120 Does that make sense? It does. 364 00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:45,000 Of course it does. And you know, and his win streak 365 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,920 was really impressive, but you know, he's still a long way off 366 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,560 from someone like Novak Djokovic, I think, and that 367 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,280 should motivate him. But at the same time, I don't 368 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,480 know if this is a super consequential loss. 369 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,720 I don't think so. I just, yeah, I think maybe he 370 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,720 may have been a bit. Well, he may have been 371 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,960 distracted by the Miami vibes, too busy attending the Heat 372 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,080 game. Yeah, they did ask him if he's 373 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,240 going to stay for like the next Heat game, which I believe is 374 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,720 like tonight or tomorrow night. And he was like, no, I'm going 375 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:17,680 home. Yeah. 376 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,040 He loves Murcia. He's like getting me back home. 377 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,640 He's. Getting getting back to his 378 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:23,600 parents house. Yeah. 379 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:24,840 Grace still lives. Yeah, yeah. 380 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,000 OK, well hopefully he can reset honesty. 381 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,200 Like can I just say credit to Corda? 382 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,400 I really like him for coming back after choking. 383 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,880 Basically what happened was Corda won the first set, he was 384 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,760 serving for it in the second. Some of the match Carlos in true 385 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:49,360 Carlos style, like escaped from Alcaraz or Alcatraz somehow, 386 00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:54,120 like pulled these crazy shots out the bag and took the second 387 00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:58,080 and then in the end quarter one in the in the third. 388 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:04,640 But like good for him for sort of sticking in it, you know, and 389 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,480 taking it. Can I also just say like we were 390 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,720 both watching this together. We need to talk about the mascot 391 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:18,880 walk on situation because it was it might be really niche to us, 392 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,320 but we just like the contrast in the mascots. 393 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,520 I feel like already set up who was going to win that match 394 00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:30,080 because Andrea had to run, had to run out of the room because 395 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,000 she couldn't watch. It just it was like hard to 396 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,800 watch. It was so cringe like I was I 397 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,840 was physically cringing while watching it. 398 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,640 At certain tournaments, the tournaments like gather kids to 399 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,080 walk on to court with the players. 400 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,160 And usually they're like little kids with whatever their story 401 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,840 is. They love tennis or whatever 402 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,200 they or they're affiliated with some charity and they say like 403 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,080 certain tournaments do it. Miami's one of them. 404 00:22:56,360 --> 00:23:02,480 And Corda's mascot just so cute, like a little boy, you know, he 405 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,120 walks on holding his hand, like they always hold their hand 406 00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:07,040 because the kids are like what, four or five? 407 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,800 And even though Corda almost knocked him out with his tennis 408 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:17,400 bag, which I was just like, Oh my God, Carlos's mascot was like 409 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,440 a sort of early. Teens. 410 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,560 Yeah, like middle. Schooler middle school slash but 411 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,440 it could have been also. Like a freshman in high school. 412 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,520 Yeah. Like, literally calling him. 413 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,280 Yeah. Thinking he was like, the shit, 414 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,800 you know, with his like, sort of TikTok hair and, like, holding 415 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,200 his phone. And I'm like, does Carlos meant 416 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,480 to hold this boy's hand? He's so confused. 417 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,800 Carlos kept trying to talk to him, and the guy was just like, 418 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,320 on his phone. I'm like, are you even grateful 419 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,760 to be here? Like, do you realize what you 420 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,040 you've been given the opportunity to do or participate 421 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,120 in? Anyway? 422 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,240 Eventually what Carlos has to say, like before they're waiting 423 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,440 to go on the court, he's like, do you want to take a selfie? 424 00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:03,640 Because he's like on his phone and so the guy is like first he 425 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,360 like checks himself out in the selfie Cam and like make sure 426 00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:08,720 his hair looks good or whatever. And then they take the selfie 427 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:09,960 and Carl is just like really nice. 428 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,880 And I'm just like honestly, this must have been so off putting it 429 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,800 put him off 100%. But I. 430 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,520 Had that thought as it was happening because I was like 431 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,960 recoiling while watching it. Like it's like Oh my God this is 432 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,240 so uncomfortable. Just like first of all the fact 433 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,400 that the kid was just Carlos is so friendly and nice and easy to 434 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,960 talk to. The kid was just not interested 435 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,400 in talking to him. Not interested. 436 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,000 I'm like, like, who gave you this opportunity? 437 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,640 He's so ungrateful. Yeah, anyway. 438 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,920 I think that's the reason he lost. 439 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,400 That's the reason he lost. It threw him off, it totally 440 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,200 threw him off. So yeah, anyway, can't wait to 441 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,880 see Carlos come back on the clay and see what the clay has in 442 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,520 store for him. No more dodgy mascots. 443 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,320 Hopefully no, please no, please no. 444 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,520 Or at least like keep it consistent. 445 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,560 Yeah, 6 and under. Six another no deal? 446 00:25:00,120 --> 00:25:06,360 No. So the Tennis Channel now has a 447 00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:11,680 segment which is called Story Time with Danielle and all of 448 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:17,880 her story times are just insane. They are honestly like they're 449 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,720 getting them traction. I will say, like her stories, 450 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,240 they're getting them traction. Yeah, but they're also just 451 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,560 unhinged. And one of her stories was she, 452 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,320 she spoke about bringing her little dog into the locker room 453 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:36,440 where dogs are not allowed. And then the dog pooped in front 454 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,880 of a player's locker, Clearly a player who she does not like. 455 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,840 But she didn't want to say I, I'm guessing it's Eaga for sure. 456 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,920 Danielle told the story of an interaction she had with Mute at 457 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:56,000 a practice court. And apparently Mute was cat 458 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:01,520 calling her. And Danielle's response was, if 459 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,120 you're going to flirt with me like that, you're going to have 460 00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:05,200 to get a bigger serve. I'm dead. 461 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,840 Just like some people think it comes down to height, some 462 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,200 people think it comes down to personality, but really what it 463 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,120 comes down to is big forehands and big serves. 464 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,480 Crazy. She then called him a short king 465 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,440 and said that she has nothing against short kings, but she's 466 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,440 at 5-10. She needs someone a bit taller 467 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:32,560 anyway. Quarantine mute then wrote a 468 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:38,480 furious denial on Twitter. His response was how can I 469 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,120 unfollow you when I never followed you? 470 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,520 Tennis Channel? How can you let someone say BS 471 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,640 like this on TV? You followed me. 472 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,040 You asked me for mixed dubs and I've never even followed you. 473 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,320 You ready to say anything so people talks about you? 474 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,720 You should learn how to love yourself so you won't do stupid 475 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,400 things for people. Loves Tennis Channel. 476 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:04,040 Good sport journalist. I'm sorry, I actually cannot. 477 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,760 It's too funny. Like I mean, yeah, Twitter is 478 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,800 going insane over it, obviously. Yeah, it's definitely made it to 479 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,480 the mainstream media as well. I mean I don't know when I saw 480 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,960 it like she is just next level I feel like. 481 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,600 It's too funny. People are really hating on it. 482 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,640 It's so dumb. I mean, I think she's funny, but 483 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,280 and she's clearly trying to be funny. 484 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,200 I feel like she's also obviously saying this in just and people 485 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,080 are taking her very seriously, right? 486 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,320 But she's also just kind of mean. 487 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,600 She's mean because also like the Tennis Channel is not like a 488 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,240 small little channel like a lot of people watch it, right? 489 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,360 So she knew that this was going to get coverage. 490 00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:51,640 Let's just say, and I don't know I with her, I find it very hard 491 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,720 to tell from her tone of voice. Is she being serious or is she 492 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:54,760 joking? She's. 493 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,480 Really kind of joking, you know, like she's just trying to be 494 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,960 funny and like that's her personality is to just be. 495 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,520 I do find her so unhinged, like her videos are quite unhinged. 496 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,200 I'm kind of here for it because it, you know, gives us some 497 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:13,480 hilarious content to talk about. I think ultimately don't get on 498 00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:18,160 Danielle Collins bad side because she will out you to the 499 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,560 entire world clearly so. And don't get on Mute's bad 500 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,760 side. Either honestly, he got 2 pretty 501 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,880 like aggressive characters going at each other there. 502 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:33,920 So I'm curious to see if if anything else happens in a 503 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,320 similar vein because Beef in Miami feels very on brand. 504 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:47,920 So it's all coming together. So last week we spoke about 505 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,480 Dominic team potentially coming back to the tour in some sort of 506 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,880 a you know, non player capacity maybe coaching everyone. 507 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,720 He had everyone guessing when he posted on his story that he was 508 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,760 making a return to tennis. You know, everyone sort of 509 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,120 placing their bets or wagers online. 510 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,160 Turns out he is in fact not coaching anyone in real life, 511 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:14,440 but he is going to be coaching his own fantasy team. 512 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,160 And turns out he has collaborated with the ATP to 513 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:23,240 promote their new tennis fantasy game, which I think is great for 514 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,840 the sport to have put a fantasy game out there. 515 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,840 Every other sport I feel like has one. 516 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,680 And now everyone can essentially play along with the chaos. 517 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,680 So I'm super excited. I know I'll be downloading it, 518 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,520 creating my team. Who do you think you would put 519 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:48,160 on your team? I think I would definitely put 520 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,800 someone like Arthur Fees. Who I. 521 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,560 Feel like has exceeded a lot of people's expectations. 522 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,600 I feel like he'd be a really good asset to have. 523 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,280 And maybe someone like Taylor, Fred's, who's pretty good across 524 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,640 all surfaces, someone who's consistent. 525 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,680 And then, I don't know, someone who I always root for anyway, 526 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,880 like Daniel, you know, it's just, like, fun. 527 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,160 And also I'm even more invested in him doing well if it's on my 528 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,320 fantasy team. Yeah. 529 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,120 What about you? That's well, I like, I like 530 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,320 those picks. Who would I put? 531 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:27,200 I think I'd go like, you know, go really hard with one, take 532 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:32,080 Ciner or Alcoraz and then, I don't know, maybe like add a 533 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,520 Baratini in there. If he gave, he'd get me no 534 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,960 points, but I like him. He's probably he's. 535 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,200 Probably kind of low value these days. 536 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,400 So it'll work well if I have like one really high value in 537 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,400 there. And then other than that, maybe 538 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,840 like a bit of a wild card, unknown quantity, Alexander 539 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,080 Bublik, someone like that. I'm not sure if that would add 540 00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,280 up, but who cares? That's who I'm thinking. 541 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:06,280 So yeah, be sure to check it out on the AT PS Instagram page. 542 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:12,280 See you on the court, Andrea. Yep, can't wait to battle you 543 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:20,000 team to team. OK, so wrapping up this episode, 544 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,040 let's make our final call. Should we put the question to 545 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,160 you? Yeah. 546 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,960 OK. So question is, who is actually 547 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,880 locked in this week and flying under the radar in Miami amidst 548 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,960 all the distractions? I'm going to go with Taylor 549 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,800 Fritz. I feel like he didn't do super 550 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,320 well in Indian Wells, but it seems like he just beat O Pelka 551 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,960 and he played, he played a great match. 552 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,840 So yeah, I'm hoping that we have an American go far in Miami. 553 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,840 Who do you think? My first thought was Tommy Paul, 554 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:59,680 so also an American, but now I'm thinking about it and I kind of 555 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,200 want to go with Sebby Quarter, also an American. 556 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,600 But to be honest, I'd be happy with either of those 3 going 557 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,040 deep in the tournament, potentially taking it. 558 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,760 No, yeah, totally nice. Nice to see an American win on 559 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,520 home, home turf. So yeah, that is that for this 560 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,800 week, guys. Thanks for joining us. 561 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:28,120 As always, please subscribe to the podcast, leave us a review, 562 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,680 give us five stars, all that good stuff. 563 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:35,800 And we will be back next week to see how the rest of the Miami 564 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:41,280 chaos unfolded and who's leaving the three O 5 with the title, or 565 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,840 titles rather.
