Have a listen. 3 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,960 Make some noise with the ball boys. 4 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,400 Hey everybody, and welcome to the latest episode of The Ball 5 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,120 Boys. We are the tennis podcast that 6 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,960 puts the mask and clay masks. I'm your host, Paul Monkle and 7 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,400 bring you the insights, outbursts, giggles and wiggles 8 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,000 of the ATP and WTA tours. And we are heading into the 9 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,560 final stretch of the clay season and the body count is piling up. 10 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,320 We've had more pull outs from tournaments than the couch 11 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,720 section at IKEA. And we're in for either a total 12 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,560 snooze fest of a French Open or utter chaos on the men's side. 13 00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:55,960 And on the women's side, it is wide open once again. 14 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,200 Nearly anyone in the top 20 could snatch the crown. 15 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,000 That is if people even show up. There's been grumblings and 16 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,040 rumblings of a boycott of the French Open because the players 17 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,360 aren't getting enough of a split of the revenue. 18 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,120 But then we did see everyone show up for Gayle and friends, 19 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,560 so I think we are all systems go for Paris. 20 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,760 Also, since the last show, both tours took the stage in Rome. 21 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,480 It was a bit of a muted tournament. 22 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,760 You could even say it was a little flat. 23 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,440 Maybe even giving a little flat red. 24 00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:32,040 Not to be confused with Red Flats, that assistant who 25 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,280 absolutely owned the Met Gala. Did you all catch that, Diva? 26 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,680 I need the unabashed confidence of an assistant directing 27 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,640 traffic outside the Met Gala.

You're kind of like Bigfoot, you 60 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,160 know. You come out and you disappear 61 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,960 and we're never seen from again. And I gotta say, we missed you. 62 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,720 I mean like the slams, you know, I'm, I'm a little bit higher 63 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,240 budget. But catches up. 64 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,920 So how do you sum up your your mood for the year so far? 65 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,760 Would you say that you are Rosalia World Tour or Hantavirus 66 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:57,520 World Scourge? You know, I like, I've just kind 67 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,200 of been in my usual wave of disassociation that I in like 68 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,240 most years every once in a while, like popping back to 69 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,520 Earth. Honestly, it's usually, it's 70 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,520 usually tennis that is giving me some thread of joy to just tap 71 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,760 back into and like, remember my humanity. 72 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:19,480 Let's talk a bit about tennis. Sum up the tennis for 2026 in 73 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:26,600 three words. OK, tennis for 2024. 2026. 74 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,880 Yeah. Ma'am. 75 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:36,960 What decade is it? OK, how about this three movie 76 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,880 titles? OK. 77 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,600 Yeah, Maverick. You're like, you're like, God 78 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,720 damn it, I had a plan here. We're going. 79 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,840 We're going off piece. 319th century French novels. 80 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,040 I would say the kids are all right. 81 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,600 The kids are all right. OK, nice. 82 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,400 I feel like this year there have been so many breakouts, 83 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,600 especially on the ATP side. And it's it's all these players 84 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,440 we've known have been good for a while. 85 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,320 And it's like you're like, you know, they're good for young 86 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,960 players, but you just don't know if they're going to be great. 87 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,760 And it's like, man, like like Jodar Landalute, like like Tien. 88 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,960 I mean, we already knew like that the Tien Asans was 89 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,320 happening. But it's just like I feel like 90 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,160 it's one after another keeps having these breakouts. 91 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,920 I didn't know that they were going to be this good this fast 92 00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:28,560 because like they have all shot up. 93 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,960 And I think it's a little bit of a commentary on this kind of 94 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,640 middling peddling 90s generation that have kind of really fallen 95 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,760 off. I would say my second movie 96 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,840 title, actually, one that I watched last night because it's 97 00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:45,160 one of my favorite movies. Something's Got to give. 98 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,000 Great romantic comedy with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton by 99 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,280 the. Way Diane Keaton close. 100 00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:53,640 To my heart. But something's, something's got 101 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,840 to give. I'm like the old man shaking his 102 00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:58,920 first to the cloud on all these episodes of like, like the tour 103 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,520 is too hard. Everybody's getting injured all 104 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,880 the time, and now it's like nobody's getting paid enough. 105 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,960 Like it just feels like they're always going through it. 106 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,040 You make me look like an optimist. 107 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,240 Yeah, I know exactly. I kind of I kind of hate it. 108 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,880 Like they really are God's strongest soldiers, these these 109 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,320 tennis players, like despite, you know, the millions of 110 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,640 dollars that they rake in every year. 111 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,760 Third ones. It's got to got to be a wild 112 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,400 card. OK, Scream. 113 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,840 It's scream. It's got to be scream because. 114 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,000 You know what? I think grunting is bigger than 115 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,360 ever. OK, You know, they're, they've 116 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,960 taken away our, our disputed line calls. 117 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,400 I just feel like, you know, they keep standing off the rough 118 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,800 edges of the game. But you know what those players 119 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,560 can do? They can get out there and they 120 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,040 can absolutely shriek their guts off. 121 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,400 And it's, it's, it's an annoying, I'm sure it's 122 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,160 frustrating for the other player across the court from them. 123 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,960 But you know what? That's tennis, baby. 124 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,640 OK, OK, yeah, kids are all right. 125 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,720 Something's got to give and scream sums up the tour for you. 126 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,800 And I think that's actually pretty good summation. 127 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,240 I mean, I still wish you said like a porno, but you know what? 128 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,640 That's fine. But that's just where my mind 129 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,400 goes. Who's your ATP crush right now? 130 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,440 Who's my ATP crush right now besides Matiah who I I have to 131 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:19,880 admit it's like he comes in waves with me because man is a 132 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,800 frustrating watch, OK? It's a rough watch. 133 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,160 All the talent, all the talent in the world, but somehow 134 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,160 manages to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. 135 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,560 Who's my ATP cry? I always used to say like, what 136 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,080 about Pellegrino? He's so handsome. 137 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,840 But now everybody's obsessed with Pellegrino. 138 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,840 And you know that I can't like, I can't like the thing that 139 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,240 everybody else likes.

They all have that fight. 185 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,680 Yeah, you know, but no, she like, she's great. 186 00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:08,120 I like seeing her and Keys battling in what I think was 187 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,520 what, like fourth round of Rome was like, it was hot. 188 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,720 Like I, I just, it did it for me. 189 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000 And she, she won that match. I'm into her too. 190 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,880 I was, I was eyeing her first round match with him. 191 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,360 Boko, I still think Imboco will take it, but like, that's not an 192 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,400 easy first round. Well, I was going to bring this 193 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,200 up when we got to Roland Garris, but I'll bring it up now. 194 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,160 So you remember what happened when Imboco won the title in 195 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,600 Montreal last year. She had a four match losing 196 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,920 streak after she she lost first round of the next 4 tournaments. 197 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,800 So I'm not saying that it's like a curse of that history is bound 198 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,280 to repeat itself. But like, you know, there's 199 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,720 people get weird after they win a title. 200 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,360 It's like a you're tired, but like there's so much endorphins 201 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,320 that go through you. You take your foot off the gas a 202 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,280 little bit. So you never know. 203 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,080 Oh yeah. I mean, it is wild that she's 204 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,520 playing the final of Strasbourg tomorrow, you know, which is a 205 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,320 500 level tournament, which is crazy that that's right before 206 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,680 the French. But yet if she wins that, like, 207 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,480 yeah, that's going to take some toll on her. 208 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,480 I mean, she, I think she's a different player than she was 209 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,120 when she won. You're right, but it'll be that 210 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,080 one's made my shortlist of matches that I want to see. 211 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,680 I will be watching that. OK, We got to keep going though, 212 00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:24,560 folks, because we got a lot to get through. 213 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,040 So I want to start off just like always with our lobs Viens, 214 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,080 which is the thing that made us gayer for tennis since the last 215 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,320 show. And there's been a lot of them. 216 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,440 But we got to start with that Vanity Fair spread featuring 217 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,520 Carlos Alcarez covered in every nook and cranny and Clay just 218 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:49,320 giving the come hit. Her look coquettishly staring 219 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,720 over his shoulder while the camera just focuses on his giant 220 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:59,400 butt. 1000% Clay baiting us, making us all clay for pay. 221 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:05,720 I mean, it was like absurd. The not even ripple, the, I'm 222 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,040 going to say it, a tsunami spread through social media. 223 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,360 Everyone was talking about that shot and that's kind of amazing. 224 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,720 He's not playing at all right now, but he still has the 225 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,240 tongues wagging. So that's obviously, obviously. 226 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,840 And for me. What'd you think of that shoot? 227 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,680 I mean, doing that shoot is the difference between being a top 228 00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:30,840 tennis player and being a star, you know? 229 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,720 Yeah. Think back to to Nadal. 230 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,600 He did music videos. He did that, that underwear 231 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,800 campaign. It's like he did it because 232 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,720 that's what you got to do to be like a worldwide phenomenon. 233 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,600 I always viewed Carlitos as a little bit of a like, like an 234 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,280 asexual Gollum a little bit. Like I was like, he's super 235 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,800 cute, he's handsome, he's playful. 236 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,200 But it was like, I just don't know. 237 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,360 I don't know if he's actually like Risen, you know? 238 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,600 But like he has, he has proven me so wrong. 239 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,280 He's risen, as I say. Yeah, yeah, exactly. 240 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,240 And he's like he's inviting the female gaze. 241 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,120 He's inviting the male gaze. Like I just feel like he he 242 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,000 wants it all. It's like, it's just like, like 243 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,120 one of those big trawlers in the middle of the ocean that's just 244 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,120 like picking up everything. Like he's, he's, he's just 245 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,960 saying like, look at me, this is my time. 246 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,560 Are you talking about his ass? This is a giant trawler. 247 00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:22,440 Wow, you. Said it, not me. 248 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,760 Yeah, we all thought it so. A nice a nice hot trash barge I 249 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,680 love. It it's working on my next 250 00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:33,000 birthday party. Yeah, I know. 251 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,840 I I totally agree. And you're right about Nadal 252 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,720 too, 'cause like, I'm thinking about it now. 253 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,160 Nadal was like flamboyant his first few years, like the 254 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,120 between the culottes and the Vamos's and the mussels and 255 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,000 everything like yeah, he was a showman. 256 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,480 So yeah, Carlos is is, you know, definitely following that that 257 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,880 lineage out of Spain. My next lobs being is maybe a 258 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,320 little different take, but it's just the Kunti little outside 259 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,600 courts at some of these tournaments. 260 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:07,840 So we just finished Rome and Pitrangelo Court in Rome is the 261 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,440 court that is just surrounded by naked men's butts. 262 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,640 You know, it's like 12 statues of Greek gods and they are 263 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,240 chiseled and it is amazing. And it's like, that's the court 264 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,760 I want to play on, not center court. 265 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:24,160 And we're heading into Roland Garros and I am obsessed with 266 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,760 court. Simone Matthieu You know, it's 267 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,560 like a it's like a four greenhouses put together. 268 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,880 It is so beautiful, so charming. I just, I love a court that's 269 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,720 like, no, I'm not the biggest, but you fucking want me? 270 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,400 Can I throw, I mean, this is kind of an obvious example, but 271 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,920 can I throw in Louis Armstrong to the mix? 272 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,360 Really No. Listen, OK, I, I, when I go to 273 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,120 the US Open, I always do, I go for a full day. 274 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,200 I do day session at Armstrong and I do night session at Ash. 275 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,600 I enjoy the Armstrong version of that. 276 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,400 Always heads and tails more than I enjoy Ash. 277 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,360 Oh, I I totally agree and I love Armstrong, but it's not the 278 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,680 county outer court that is sort of like, no, look at me, 'cause 279 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,720 it's the second biggest court. It's like, OK, like it would be 280 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,800 like kind of saying like Margaret Court Arena is the 281 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,760 county outside court. I have another Lobfian to throw 282 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,440 out there. Did you see when when Mutae 283 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,280 dropped TRAU when he lost the at the Hamburg Open? 284 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,280 I I mean obsessed. Obsessed. 285 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,520 Yeah. Why? 286 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,680 I still don't understand. I love the reaction of like, I 287 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,360 just lost a point. Pull my pants down. 288 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,560 Like, why did? Why do you think he pantsed 289 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,040 himself? Would have you ever done that? 290 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,960 Just like when I, when I'm having a bad day or like work, 291 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,920 my, my concept doesn't get chosen. 292 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,080 I just, well, I mean, I could be Porky Pig in it 'cause I'm on 293 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,480 Zoom and no one would really know if I'm being honest. 294 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,680 But no, I just listen. I think it's high, it's high 295 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,320 risk because those guys are sweating out there. 296 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,920 And so it's like that shit is basically see through. 297 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,360 If you if you really get up close, you're going to get like 298 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,840 a full exposure to grundle fabulousness. 299 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,960 And honestly, great. Did. 300 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,240 You see, like, so this was tangentially from another sport, 301 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,960 but there's a soccer match where a player did like a head first 302 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,480 dive and a player behind him accidentally, like, stepped on 303 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,640 his shorts and he slid out of his shorts and he was not 304 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,840 wearing underwear. And yeah, so it happens. 305 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,080 Like you. You got to be careful out there, 306 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,120 boys. But also mute. 307 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,600 He looks freaking great. Good for him. 308 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:44,560 Good for him. OK well now it is time for twits 309 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,120 and that is this week in tennis. So like I said up at the top, 310 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,160 the big tournament since the last show was Rome, even though 311 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,960 there's literally 25 hundreds being contested right now on the 312 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,960 eve of the French Open. I mean the tours are just hell 313 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,560 bent on mashing in as many tournaments as possible. 314 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,680 I actually hear they might be starting an overnight or late 315 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,280 night tour just to get more stops in. 316 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,119 So three AM, 5:00 AM, you better get your ass out there and 317 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,560 Playboys. But let's start with Rome. 318 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:20,000 And I was not obsessed with Rome overall. 319 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,560 There was something a little sad about it and a little, like I 320 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,640 said, it was a little flat for me, I think especially on the 321 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,720 men's side, because it was a foregone conclusion who was 322 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,640 going to win it. So Yannick Sinner, he becomes 323 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,720 our Sith. I mean, 6th Lord, he wins his 324 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,320 sixth Masters tournament in a row, which is 2 more than anyone 325 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,320 else has ever won in a row. And that was only matched by 326 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,680 Novak when he won four in a row. But he didn't look good the last 327 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,840 two rounds. He didn't look good against 328 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,200 Medvedev. It's like that porcelain doll 329 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,800 that Victorian child in Yannick Center came back out, like his 330 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,960 dramatic slumping over at the changeovers. 331 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,000 I don't know. It's just it's there's something 332 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,960 weird going on there and I don't know what the heck is going on. 333 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,760 What is your take on Sinner and like where is he at or do you 334 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,880 even care? I like how you know how to ask 335 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,160 me that with Sinner, because like you, you know that he's not 336 00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:16,160 at the center of my of my heat map. 337 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,560 No, I do care. Like, I don't think it's 338 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,640 anything crazy. I think with Sinner, you just 339 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,600 expect him to be such a robot. And and that narrative is what's 340 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,000 out there, that if he shows a little bit of weakness, people 341 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,360 get overly concerned. But like, if you look back to 342 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:36,800 the Australian Open when he was playing Spiziri, he was cramping 343 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,800 in Australia and it's like you kind of you're like Yonic Sinner 344 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,280 cramping like one of the greatest athletes in the sport 345 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,440 right now. But it happens. 346 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,080 And then what? Then he, you know, goes on 347 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,640 another generational run after that. 348 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,760 I think it's a blip. You know, I'm, I'm more 349 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,880 concerned about real injuries that take you out of game like 350 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,560 what, what Alcoraz has, but. Oh, I, I agree, but there's just 351 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,800 something because honestly, with Sinner, this started last 352 00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:04,040 summer, like in Cincinnati, he had to pull out of the final 353 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,120 'cause he was sick. Like there's something kind of 354 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:09,960 like sickly and Wan about him. Like he is like that meme of 355 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,120 that Victorian child. He's just laying in the bed. 356 00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:16,960 Like in Rome, he wasn't cramping, he was just gassed and 357 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,880 struck, like the way he was breathing. 358 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,320 And I actually thought if for a second it started to look like a 359 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,280 panic attack, like maybe 'cause there was so much pressure from 360 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,600 people wanting him to complete the master slam, get the six 361 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,120 masters in a row on his home turf. 362 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,640 But there was just something that was really like, I'm not, I 363 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:37,840 know this is going to sound crazy. 364 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,960 I'm not sure if I'm picking him to win the French. 365 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,280 I don't think that's crazy. I mean, especially of all the 366 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,440 the surfaces and slams, I mean the French is the one that's the 367 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,240 most of the wild card for him. Well, it is, but I mean, with 368 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,440 Carlos out, it's kind of like, I mean, come on, give me credit. 369 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,720 I'm being a maverick. I'm being. 370 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,240 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, you are what you're, 371 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,840 you're very, you're very brave. It's stunning and brave. 372 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,120 Paul very impressed. I want to see you. 373 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,480 I I need to go to your fainting couch and be like, he said. 374 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,960 What? This is just my, my, like, 375 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,800 undiagnosed autism not picking up on like, the cues that you're 376 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,280 trying to send me, like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 377 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,440 No, I no, I get it. I get it. 378 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,920 Oh, I diagnosed you. Don't worry, it's fine. 379 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,680 You're the you're the only doctor that I care about 'cause 380 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,640 you'll prescribe me, you know, medications out of the back of 381 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:22,600 your van. So you're. 382 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,400 Just just turn to the left and cough. 383 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:30,040 Exactly. Well, other other news on the 384 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,960 men's side, I love when the home tournament players have big 385 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,240 moments. So like there are a lot of 386 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,440 Italians in the mix. Like even Pellegrino won some 387 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,080 big matches which doesn't happen for him like. 388 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,200 It was, it was a breakout tournament for him, yeah. 389 00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:48,160 And and like carried that momentum through to to Roland 390 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,720 Garros, 'cause he's, he's in the draw now. 391 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,400 I know and he's playing Kaboli in the first round. 392 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,840 Rude. That's not Casper rude, but 393 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,560 that's just I. Was like, no, he's playing 394 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,840 Caboli. Caboli, who's on 1st? 395 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,040 We got to talk about Luciano Darderi. 396 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:09,640 I'm, you know, it's funny, I was so hot and high for him until 397 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,320 the semis and until what he just did in Hamburg. 398 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,880 But like, what a story for the first part of Rome. 399 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,680 Beats Paul in three, takes out Zverev in three, including 400 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,720 bageling Zverev in the third set, takes out Hodar in three, 401 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,240 bageling Hodar in the third set. And that Hodar match was insane. 402 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,400 Like I've never seen a smoke delay. 403 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,840 Like what? I know. 404 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,520 So I mean the things we go through as tennis fans, we've 405 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:41,240 had like killer bees, we've had, we've had smoke, we've had, 406 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,720 we've had like fighter jets. It's like some some cosmic force 407 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,120 is out there rolling the dice being like what absolute 408 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,520 insanity, A plague can we unleash on this tournament. 409 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,560 Yeah, but you know what the messed up thing is? 410 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,720 Those they only stopped that match because of the smoke, 411 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,480 because the Hawkeye could no longer see the lines. 412 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,200 Like, we don't care that the players are inhaling smoke or 413 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,040 like playing in like, dangerous. Oh, the poor machines. 414 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,760 Like we oh, we've got to protect the machines. 415 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:08,960 You know what? Fuck those machines. 416 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,600 Get some people out there, call the lines. 417 00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:14,600 I was sick of those AI motherfuckers. 418 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,720 Dardari had a a bit of a fall fall from grace for me in the 419 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,720 semi final against Rude. He lost pretty handily which is 420 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,640 fine. He was out of gas I get it. 421 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:34,120 But that walk on with those sunglasses and he skips the sick 422 00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:35,640 kid. And I love that. 423 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,080 The tournament had the players accompanied by kids from a local 424 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,440 hospital. I think it was a cancer ward. 425 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,320 It was so beautiful and the kids were so happy. 426 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,680 And he just struts by. I know he didn't mean to and I'm 427 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,040 not going to give him shit for it, but it just lost some aura. 428 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,560 I can't believe you. I literally was the one thing I 429 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,880 want to say about him is like absolute generational aura loss 430 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,880 after that because he came out so hot and then it's a flop so 431 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,080 bad and then the whole like the whole coffee espresso thing. 432 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,960 I just like like it made him look like a in absolutely the 433 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,120 wrong way. But I will say I will give him 434 00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:12,840 credit because like, we can't I, I feel like we're talking out of 435 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,600 two sides of our mouth. So where we're like, Oh my God, 436 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,840 these players are so boring because like, look, it's very, 437 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,520 it makes me think of Naomi Osaka and her walk on kits or people 438 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,480 like Boo, burn her. She's a witch. 439 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,000 But it's like, you know what, at least she's doing something. 440 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,080 He was doing something. So like, I applaud him. 441 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,840 It was just it was a face plant in terms of performance. 442 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,840 And I agree, the coffees during the changeover break got it. 443 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,920 He's got to stop 'cause then he did that again in Hamburg when 444 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,240 he lost the first round. I honestly think that he might 445 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,200 have a Lavazza or Lavanza. However, you say that name 446 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,160 sponsorship because he made sure as he was sipping it during one 447 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,840 changeover, he made sure to turn it so that the the logo is 448 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,080 facing out. Secure the bag, Luciano. 449 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,760 It's like a. Hammy, attention seeking ploy 450 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,720 that yeah, it it look, it cost him some Bay TP points. 451 00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:02,080 It he he he fell down the ranking a little bit. 452 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,120 It's like when Mira Andreva started thanking herself when 453 00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:08,800 she won her tournaments. No, if he if he brings out one 454 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,760 espresso at the French Open, I swear to God he's not coming on 455 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,200 this show. Wait, you're not a fan of the 456 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,440 the Mira self? Congratulations. 457 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,680 It was cute. Once when she's in the next 458 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:22,320 week. Nope. 459 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,920 It's it's sticky. I, I like you're right, but I'm 460 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,680 like, OK, so I know you, I know you said that you think you 461 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,880 thought that Rome was boring, but like I there, there were 462 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,320 threads. I mean, like, like we're talking 463 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,080 men's, like just on the men's side, that Majedovich versus 464 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,080 Fonteca match. I watched the whole damn thing. 465 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,120 It was insane. I mean, shades of Krichikova 466 00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:49,240 Townsend in in the drama that that thought. 467 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,800 And I'm like, honestly, kind of the shades of the whole hometown 468 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,240 crowd thing where it's like, I mean, well, it wasn't a it 469 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,400 wasn't a hometown crowd, but it felt like a hometown crowd 470 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:58,880 because the Brazilian crowd was crazy. 471 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,920 Yeah. They were too much though. 472 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,840 They were, they were doing way too much in that, like spooking 473 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,680 Majedovic when he was trying to serve. 474 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,800 And like I, I was just like, I loved Majedovich's overall run 475 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,960 because he's another one who is like a next gener who got 476 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,360 injured. Yeah, he never never quite had 477 00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:18,000 the opportunity to to to live up to his potential. 478 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,240 But I feel like he he just he handled the pressure of that 479 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,000 match just right. And I feel like his Sally at the 480 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,400 end, like tonally was like was just right. 481 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,160 It just it hit it all hit right for me. 482 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,400 Like I actually, I didn't have like the the highest opinion of 483 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,920 him before. Like there's something about his 484 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,000 energy I just wasn't sure about. But like I'm fully I'm fully 485 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,560 bought in at this point. I just thought it was it was 486 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,240 good. And honestly, I I probably 487 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:47,080 preferred if in every tournament, either Carlos or 488 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,600 Yannick could sit it out and it was just one of them in there. 489 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,360 To me, I think that makes a much more interesting tournament 490 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:57,160 because it allows there to be like stories of of people 491 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,960 rising. It's like these are the 492 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,760 tournaments where the lucky losers make it to semi finals 493 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:02,880 and stuff. You know, it's like you get 494 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,920 those crazy narratives, and to me, that's what's memorable 495 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,280 about a tournament. I I completely agree, but I'm 496 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,480 going to go one step further. I actually want more tournaments 497 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,520 where neither of them is at. You know, that's why I think 498 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,080 A500 and A-250, absolutely. Slap, slap. 499 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,920 I'm going to say this. I don't like our top ten right 500 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,200 now. I'm not intrigued by anyone in 501 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,000 our top 10 for the on the men's side, women's side, tons, men's 502 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,560 side, Boo. But like from 10 to 50, I'm 503 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,120 loving these guys, the new guys, the fighters. 504 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,480 Like the old guys who have like fallen a little bit, they're 505 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,520 like hungry to get back. It's like it's all interesting 506 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,600 to me. I love that, but like, what 507 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,880 bored me was just like the sense of inevitability of, fine, 508 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,200 you're all having these great stories and these great 509 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,320 rudescences and these runs and whatever, but you're just being 510 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,000 led to slaughter. We're just going to kill you at 511 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,720 the end anyway. It's like the Dread Pirate 512 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,440 Scott, where it's like, well, we'll just kill you tomorrow 513 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,560 because like, you just knew that Sinner was going to win. 514 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,440 It's a tough time for the tour right now and I but you're 515 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,440 right, like there are there are glimmers of hope. 516 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,760 And also, I do want to be clear, I love Sinner's game and I love 517 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,360 his personality. I'm just bored because when 518 00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:13,440 there's no tension, the only tension is, is he going to pass 519 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,560 out on the changeover? Like when there's no tension in 520 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,560 tennis, I get really bored when I'm not like, oh, who's going to 521 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,360 win? So. 522 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,680 Yeah. There's one question on the US 523 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,520 citizenship test and to become a citizen you have to pass and the 524 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,200 question is name 3 instances of Yonic Center displaying a 525 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,800 personality. I think that he is so charming 526 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,840 in his unimportant interview. OK. 527 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,680 Shut up, Paul. He's so charming. 528 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,600 I think he's so charming. That's one. 529 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,400 No, like he's joking with like I love his relationship with 530 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,440 Carlos. I think they are so funny and 531 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,800 cute together and like adorable. Yeah, but is that Carlos and 532 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,440 like Yonic just kind of? No, I think that Yannick is 533 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,840 actually, I think he's very jovial. 534 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,360 I think he's got like a very like he's reserved on court. 535 00:27:56,360 --> 00:28:00,640 He is a bit Robakana ish, a little bit robotic, and it's 536 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,680 almost scary how good he is. I think that that's like what 537 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,000 makes it hard to root for him maybe sometimes, but he's never 538 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,640 once been a Dick, which I'm going to say that as a 539 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,080 personality trait. He's not a Dick, which on this 540 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,080 tour is easy to be like, well, that guy's a Dick. 541 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,240 That guy's a Dick. Like, he's always nice, he's 542 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,520 polite, he's fair. He is, he's warm. 543 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,600 I mean, I've never seen him do anything wrong, so I like that. 544 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,280 His absence of bad qualities makes him a personable player. 545 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,480 I like, I get it like. Bionic Sinner. 546 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:35,600 I'm just going to say I like him. 547 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,840 I like him, I like him. Like he was like notably at Gael 548 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,280 and friends, like people like him, the players like him. 549 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,840 I don't like it when we have a villain who is the leader, which 550 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,120 is what I had often times issues with Novak when he was so 551 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,240 dominant in the early twenty 20s, you know, like 2122 when he 552 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,040 was winning everything. It was just like, we don't like 553 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,720 this guy, but he's the best in the world. 554 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,720 I want the best in the world to be people that are good people, 555 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,280 good guys. No, you know what? 556 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,040 Honestly, I'm with you. Love pink lover. 557 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,200 And that's a deep cut. Amazing. 558 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,080 Unfortunately the other news coming out of Rome though was 559 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,600 just like, besides some people continuing to get sick, like 560 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,040 Novak was sick, Mahaj was sick. I don't know if they like found 561 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,400 some extra shrimp tacos in Madrid and shipped them over, 562 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:31,640 but we have added some more Bay TP mainstays to the injured 563 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,120 list. So Moussetti was fighting 564 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,080 valiantly to come back. I mean, he really must have 565 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,680 tweaked something in Australia because he has been out for most 566 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,360 of the years since Australia when he was up two sets over no 567 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,720 back. And so he's going to be out for 568 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,520 a while. He's going to be out at least 569 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,440 through Wimbledon. So is Carlos Holger Rooney, 570 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,040 thank God, is not coming back as soon as possible. 571 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:55,400 I. Know, I know. 572 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,960 We have Jack off. Jack Draper is what? 573 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,360 Come again? Come again? 574 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,880 What'd you say? Jack Draper is off for a while 575 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,560 and I'm hearing whispers that Arthur Fees might not be 576 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,560 playing. I've I've heard the same 577 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,960 whispers. Word on the street is he has not 578 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,640 really been seen practicing at all since he secured that 579 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,920 injury. But he's he's on the grounds at. 580 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,840 Roland Garros. I read somewhere that like, 581 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,880 yeah, he went to his practice session and didn't pick up a 582 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,360 racket. So something is going on A. 583 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,640 Good sign. Wait and who his? 584 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,600 He's against Favrenka first round. 585 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,120 Which again, how dare they some I know Mother Effer was like, 586 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,560 no, I'm going to cause some drama. 587 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,080 Like why put not my stand, my Shayla? 588 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:51,120 So I have a question for you. I was thinking, OK, these guys, 589 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,320 they've got to fill their time. You know, they were free time 590 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,840 coming up. And so, of course, I was 591 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,560 thinking about James Bond because in case you haven't 592 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,720 heard that we are casting a new James Bond, folks. 593 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,360 Not we meaning the ball boys, but whoever owns the film 594 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,040 rights, there's going to be new James Bond. 595 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,400 And I was looking at some delorious awards tuxedo photos 596 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,840 and Mousetti and Carlos, like they all looked so good in a 597 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,920 tuxedo. And I was like feasts in a 598 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,200 tuxedo. And I was just like, I think 599 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,200 some of these guys could play James Bond. 600 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,840 So my question to you, Matthew, between these five injured Divas 601 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:32,400 of Mousetti, Carlos, Rune, Jack and Arthur Fees, which one is 602 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,600 going to make the best James Bond? 603 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,800 OK, I'm going to give you a second runner up, a first runner 604 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:42,200 up and then the the queen, the queen who gets the crown. 605 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,520 So I'd say second runner up is Musetti, just because he's just 606 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,600 so goddamn handsome. Like he's got the looks. 607 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,560 He looks good in a suit. Like, you know, I, I, he'd look 608 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,800 great on the poster. I don't know if he's got the I 609 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,080 don't know if he's got the rest of it, but he's got that. 610 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:04,400 And so let's give him credit. Then the first runner up is 611 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:09,600 Draper A because he's British. I mean, it's like it's kind of 612 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,760 like tends to be a key casting qualification. 613 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,200 I think he's a good guy, but I think he's a little bit of a bad 614 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,720 boy too. I know, I know Felix Ozra 615 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:22,040 Aliasim would agree with me. He's he's got the looks like I 616 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,640 can see him smoking cigars in another world. 617 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,480 I feel like he's got that mystique to him. 618 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,840 But to me, though, the real answer here, the only one that 619 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,720 even really comes close is fees. It's got to be Arthur Fees. 620 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,880 He's debonair. He's got that that mischievous 621 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,800 wink in his eye. He's got it all. 622 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,160 I like, I think, I think he would absolutely kill as Bond. 623 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:50,360 I think he would be the best James Bond by a mile. 624 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:51,560 I agree. I agree. 625 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,600 I don't agree with either one of your other picks though, so 626 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,360 you're wrong and you lose. A harsh time. 627 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:02,400 Because Jack Draper is so clearly a Bond villain. 628 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,760 Like, come on, that motherfucker is in a layer somewhere, like 629 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,440 painting women gold. And you know, there's just like 630 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,400 he is a villain, like, in a good way. 631 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,640 If you listen to like any of those Tennis Channel or like 632 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:19,000 AATP social media interviews, whenever they they are like 633 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,880 asking about Jack. People always say he's the 634 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,240 nicest guy on tour. Like, like everybody says, like 635 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:26,680 says like he's literally the night. 636 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:27,960 He's like the nicest guy on tour. 637 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,320 He has them so scared. He's that maniacal. 638 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,000 Oh my. God, yeah. 639 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,320 He's like, he's like spitting in their oatmeal in their morning 640 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:37,080 and like. Mixing up? 641 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,000 No, we love Jack. He's fine. 642 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,640 It's like, Oh my God, we love Doctor now come on, come on. 643 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:47,240 And then #2 is clearly Carlos, he's got like that Playboy 644 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,000 element to him of like, you know, he's going to shag 645 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,680 everyone on that film set, even if they're not in the movie. 646 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,000 So he's like, yeah, but he would. 647 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,280 He would shag them like a dog humping a leg. 648 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,360 I mean, he's a puppy. No, he's, he's grown. 649 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:01,880 He's come into himself. He's. 650 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,640 Different. Yeah, yeah. 651 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,320 And then I think Holger Rooney has the like tortured side of 652 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,239 James Bond, that he would be a really good character study of 653 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,440 James Bond. So. 654 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,159 So those are my top three. So I'm sorry you didn't win, but 655 00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:18,560 you came close. Any others? 656 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,239 Because then I was like going down a rabbit hole. 657 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,360 This is what I was doing with my time this week, besides planning 658 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,440 the latest tennis and tea dance. Everybody come. 659 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,000 But then I was like, I think Casper Rude would be an amazing 660 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,840 James Bond. Come on, him in a tuxedo? 661 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,719 He has, he has the looks, but it's like he's a guppy, you 662 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,920 know? He's not he's not a Barracuda. 663 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,679 He's changed. I I would go in a totally 664 00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:47,080 different direction and like this, this may be like a weird 665 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,639 wild card to throw in, but I would honestly say Fabio Fanini 666 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,440 is very is James Wanco. I mean in a very like Sean 667 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,240 Connery way. It's like almost like like super 668 00:34:57,240 --> 00:35:00,560 handsome, but like leathery tanned, you know, like he feels 669 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,280 like the adult in the room a little bit. 670 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,160 I I could see that 'cause he's he definitely has like the bad 671 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,920 boy elements to it for sure, but I think rude. 672 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,600 So I rude is actually like really grown on me lately. 673 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,360 He's he went he's he's no longer a guppy. 674 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,080 He's at least a minnow, if not a trout, so he's. 675 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,200 I listen, Guppy is not a bad thing. 676 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,880 I love Casper Rude but I love him because of his guppy 677 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,840 qualities. Well, when he's saving the world 678 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,240 from the latest laser beam from the moon, you'll think 679 00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:36,560 differently. What about the WTA? 680 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,000 So I was like, why don't we just absolutely make half of the 681 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,720 country lose their mind and go with Haley Baptiste? 682 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,080 'Cause. She would be a boss. 683 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,960 James Bond. I I I like I legitimately see 684 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,760 the vision for this. Oh. 685 00:35:54,280 --> 00:36:00,840 She's cool, like she is cool. Yeah, yeah, so and people would 686 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,680 go crazy. Well, OK. 687 00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:05,560 Well, hey, Paramount Pictures, whoever owns the rights. 688 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,200 I don't know who owns the rights to anything. 689 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,560 I'm sure everything is just owned by Halliburton or Tesla, 690 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,600 but whoever owns the rights, these are some James Bond ideas. 691 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:22,940 Do it the way you will. Let's talk about the woman real 692 00:36:22,940 --> 00:36:25,380 quick though. So Svidolina takes the title in 693 00:36:25,380 --> 00:36:28,820 Rome. Elena Svidolina, she wins Rome 694 00:36:28,820 --> 00:36:31,620 for the third time, but the first time in like 8 years. 695 00:36:32,140 --> 00:36:36,180 She's famously been a mother for a few years on tour and she's 696 00:36:36,180 --> 00:36:40,240 really like changed her game. She beats 3 top five players on 697 00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:43,080 her way to the title, Rebecca, Nash, Fiantec and Goff. 698 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,480 The first player in Rome history to defeat three top five players 699 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,120 and ripped to the trophy. What do you think of Skitty? 700 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,640 I mean, we've talked about this before, like she's not my 701 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,360 personal favorite player out there. 702 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,160 I don't know if I am like usually just vibing with her 703 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,720 but. I don't like Guy El Monfise's 704 00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:07,720 wife. I'm sure she's a lovely person. 705 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,960 I like, I mean her her game is her game is good. 706 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,560 She's a very talented, but normally when like when I like a 707 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,560 a a player, especially on the women's side, where I feel like 708 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,680 craft is so much more of a part of the game. 709 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,960 I like players, right? They have a very ownable style 710 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,040 or they're just like super adaptable or they're, you know, 711 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:27,240 like a like a or something and like Spitalina is just one of 712 00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:28,720 this place. She's kind of good at everything 713 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,080 and like this is not, you know, damnation by fame. 714 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,520 Praise like this is like significant praise like she is, 715 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,000 she's an incredible player, but there's no one quality of her 716 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,480 game that I'm like in love with. So she just kind of clears my 717 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,120 radar a little bit. But I'm super impressed by her. 718 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,560 She is a true top five player and and I feel like she could go 719 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,000 higher than that. Like she's got, she's got the 720 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,000 goods. And I also have to say, and 721 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,840 maybe I'm over interpreting something or reading into it too 722 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:59,600 much, but like the fact that Gael, who's the coolest dude on 723 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,600 tour, yeah, was like, no, you're my wife. 724 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,560 Like she's got to be cool. She's got like she's got, I 725 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,640 mean, come on, like she's, she's got something that maybe you're 726 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:13,440 not seeing because only cool girls get married, so. 727 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,840 You know, you say it's a boring tournament, but it's like we got 728 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:22,320 we got Kristia going far, we got Osipenko making the quarters 729 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,960 we've got was an epic match between Goth and Andreva. 730 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,560 Like, great match. Liskova out of nowhere made like 731 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,160 a crazy run and and, you know, almost has brought herself back 732 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:38,520 up to the top 100 after being like ranked 800 a few months 733 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,120 ago. So I'm like, man, like I'm 734 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,560 looking at these matches. I'm like, these were good. 735 00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:47,800 This is a good tournament. Hey I hear you in what you're 736 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,480 saying in terms of like stats and results maybe. 737 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:54,200 But like watching this fiance matches I was so bored because 738 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,720 she was so dominant to over Pagula and Osaka and everyone 739 00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:03,960 until she lost. Honestly like look I love 740 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:09,160 everything about Coco except most of her game because it is 741 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:16,440 hard to watch these errors and the serve Shanks were like wild 742 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,120 in Rome and I was just like what is going on? 743 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,520 I mean, it's it's crazy. There was a stat that someone 744 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:26,120 said that this year she has a winning record after losing the 745 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,680 first set. Crazy. 746 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:33,240 Like that's amazing. Her mindset, her will and her 747 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,520 ability to not get down on herself is great. 748 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,880 But the form like, you know whose game I love to watch 749 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,520 Baptiste, you know, like that, like I love watching like it's 750 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:44,840 solid. Coco. 751 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,960 I'm like, what's going to happen, you know? 752 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,840 I know and like, listen, nothing impresses me more than the 753 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,280 ability to win ugly, but that has to be during a dark night of 754 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,040 the soul for your game. It cannot be your game. 755 00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,440 And and that's what's starting to be scary. 756 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,000 It almost feels like this is like 2 years going now, you 757 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,240 know, I mean like back when there's all those double farts, 758 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,160 double farts had a few of those before. 759 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,280 Well, when those all those double faults started, which I 760 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,560 think was like 2024. It's it's kind of nuts to watch. 761 00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:17,960 And yet she wins. Yeah, she pulls it off. 762 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,240 Yeah. Nevertheless, I know the last 763 00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:23,240 thing we need right now is another diversion here. 764 00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:28,520 But you've, you've made me realize what has been actually 765 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,760 like a pretty powerful frustration for me with 766 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,760 professional tennis the last year and a half, I would say, is 767 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:40,160 that the players I love, like, as I said before, it's because I 768 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:41,760 love, I love to watch their game. 769 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,720 I love their flair. I love their finesse. 770 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,440 The players whose game I like to watch are not the players who 771 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,120 win. And like, something has shifted. 772 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,120 They used to win. They used to win enough. 773 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,240 They used to do OK. There was one. 774 00:40:54,240 --> 00:40:56,240 There was one every tournament who would make a deep run. 775 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,200 And like, that was thrilling to me. 776 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:03,080 One of that is Kazakina. You know, I love watching her 777 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,800 play. She used to always be able to 778 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,480 beat the people who she was supposed to be. 779 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,600 Like, even if it was winning ugly, she would beat the people 780 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,160 who are ranked below her. And then, you know, a year ago, 781 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,800 that just stopped happening. And I feel like that's a symptom 782 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,720 of something greater. Yeah, no, it it's a really good 783 00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:19,960 point. And you're making me think about 784 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:25,320 also like so Kazakhina vocally joined the 2025 tap Out club 785 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,400 last September where she was like, I am burnt out. 786 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,720 She didn't say that, but like, basically she was like, and I 787 00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:32,080 think you're making a really good point. 788 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,720 The tour is so long and grueling that it is taking a toll on 789 00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:39,480 players that and maybe they're players that are more of like 790 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,000 the grinders and the grounders and whatever. 791 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,880 It's like, yeah, like people aren't keeping up and like the 792 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,040 tour is wrecking these people's careers. 793 00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:50,640 One more person, though, that I do want to talk about real 794 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,200 quick, though. Well, two people is Sabalenka 795 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,560 losing to Christia. So Sabalenka, this was her 796 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,960 earliest exit from a 1000 since Rome of 2024. 797 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,440 Sabalinka's not. She did not have a great clay 798 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,600 season. I don't know what to expect from 799 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,760 her. Like it's a black box for the 800 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,280 French Open. Christia, she became the oldest 801 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,760 person to ever have their first number one win by beating 802 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,760 Sabalinka. This is supposed to be her last 803 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,520 year. I'm calling it now, Serrano 804 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,800 Christia is going to pull a Danielle Collins and do another 805 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,840 year because her ranking is so high. 806 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,920 She's reached a career high. In what world are you not going 807 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,920 to at least enter every tournament, every Masters and 808 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:36,200 Grand Slam and pick up a cool $1,000,000 by losing the first 809 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,600 round of 10 matches? But next year, like there, 810 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,480 there's no way she's retiring. Am I wrong about Christia? 811 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,720 No, I I think you're, I think you're totally right. 812 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,600 Finally, you agree. The thing is, I mean, it's not 813 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,240 it's yeah, her, she, she's had an amazing season and her 814 00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:54,360 ranking is incredibly high now. But like, she was actually doing 815 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,680 fine like last year or two. But she was kind of like, really 816 00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,000 like treading water. Stuck. 817 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,440 In the middle, she's she's like pretty dominant this year. 818 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,480 It's cool to see. But listen, not to be too 819 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,840 cynical, but I do think that her bonus year is probably going to 820 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,800 take the course of Collins where it's like lightning struck at 821 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,960 the perfect moment. And then you you kind of revert 822 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,600 to default settings. Like it just it's hard to to 823 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,280 sustain that level of adrenaline and that that commitment. 824 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,160 And especially once you know that you know you're really like 825 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,240 giving the pageant wave, find your way out. 826 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,640 Yeah, yeah, but like who's not going to take $1,000,000? 827 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,040 No, I'll take it. Yeah, seriously, where's my wild 828 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,960 card? I'm not worried about 829 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,480 Satellinka. Like I think it's just like bog 830 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,800 standard injury stuff, you know, she had like a lower back 831 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,440 problem. Yeah, I don't know. 832 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:46,440 I'm, I'm just, I'm not, I'm, I'm not picking her to win Roland 833 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:47,320 Garros. I'm saying that for. 834 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,000 Sure, I'm, I'm probably, I'm probably not either. 835 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,200 But you know, again, will you be surprised if she does? 836 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,480 Yes, I will be surprised if she does there. 837 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,640 Are you happy folks? We do have a new Bay TP out 838 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,800 that's kind of like the preview slash post Rome Bay TP. 839 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,720 So going over to Instagram, check it out again, that's at 840 00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:09,600 TBV Tennis. And while you are there, pick up 841 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,840 some tickets to the tennis and tea dance. 842 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,240 So the second slam is starting this weekend on Sunday. 843 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:27,280 And so it is time to break down what is going to happen in 844 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,760 Roland Garros, in the beautiful city of Paris with our crystal 845 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,160 balls. But before we do that look, 846 00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:37,960 there is no time to take a break from looks maxing, if I've 847 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,480 learned anything. And so Matthew and I, we each 848 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:46,120 have a clay mask that we are going to now put on our faces 849 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,160 for the rest of the show. And then we have to end this 850 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:53,440 show before these masks dry up too much and crack our mugs. 851 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:59,440 So I have a PEP care, barrier repair, calm clay mask because I 852 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:03,760 need all of those things.

And so first, the players are 883 00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:32,400 making a real stink about boycotting. 884 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,480 They're like, we're not going to play French Open this year. 885 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,800 It seems like now at most they're going to be boycotting 886 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,040 the pressors afterwards, limiting it to 15 minutes to 887 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,120 represent the 15% that they get in shared profits. 888 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:51,200 I'm a I'm all about symbology and symbolism, but like girl. 889 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,280 It it feels like a very anemic protest. 890 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:59,000 Let me just put it that way. It's like very half assed, like 891 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,880 Reebok, you know, was like was like, I'm not really doing the 892 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,240 protest, but she's like, but I support the players and and 893 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,920 Radhikano was like, why wouldn't I want to talk to you guys for 894 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,920 more than 15 minutes? Like I'm just happy to be in a 895 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,480 slam again. I'm like somebody, somebody on 896 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,520 Twitter is like. Yet like she found somehow she 897 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,320 found another way to be on the wrong side of history. 898 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,120 Yeah, exactly. But you know, Morezmo, Emily 899 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,960 Morezmo, the boss baddie of the tournament, tournament director, 900 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,880 she basically said the same thing that she said about women 901 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,440 playing prime time when it came to increasing the revenue split, 902 00:47:33,240 --> 00:47:36,160 which is no, which is French for no. 903 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,880 She's like, no, like you're not getting more money, You're not 904 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,840 getting women in prime time. Just deal with it. 905 00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:46,640 The ATP, which is like actually the profitable tour, I love a 906 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,000 couple years ago when they introduced the baseline program, 907 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,200 you know, this sort of like secured salary for players. 908 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,320 I think it's like top 250 or top 2300. 909 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:59,000 And there's different to your levels, but it's like to help 910 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,960 make sure that there's kind of a, a living wage for, you know, 911 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:07,760 anyone who's like competitive on tour but don't like that the WCA 912 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:11,600 doesn't have that. So it's like, Oh, yeah, I do. 913 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:17,160 I do think that there is a real risk for certain players who 914 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:22,280 just are not really making any money out of this whole 915 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,920 experience, you know, and they're going to be like dumped, 916 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,000 dumped out ten years later and they're going to have been 917 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,640 ranked world #90 you know, for 10 years. 918 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,840 And, and in any other sport, if you're like one of the 90s best 919 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,360 people in the world, you'd be a millionaire. 920 00:48:37,720 --> 00:48:42,000 Yeah, but what a story. I would love it. 921 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,520 If I did it for the vibes. If I spend my 20s, like toiling 922 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,720 on the tour, I wish that was my story of my 20s. 923 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,840 I don't know whatever that's. Just you're, you're like, you're 924 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,680 like, these kids need to pull themselves up by their 925 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:57,320 bootstraps. Sack up, but the draws are out 926 00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:02,320 and so I want to talk briefly about some of the popcorn 927 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,880 matches for the first round 'cause there's a lot. 928 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,560 I pulled out a bunch on the men's and women's side. 929 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,160 Let's start with the women, though, because the one that 930 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,120 jumps out at me and the one that I'm just like, what are you 931 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,960 doing, Baptiste versus Krajikova? 932 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:24,480 Sign me up, I'm so sad. I can't wait to see it, but 933 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:28,840 like, Oh my God, I think this is the first slam that Baptiste is 934 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,200 seated at and it's like to go through all that work to get 935 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,440 Barbara Krajikova like this is horrible for her. 936 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,000 I I don't know who's going to take it. 937 00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,160 I think it's going to be close, but I can definitely see a lot 938 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:46,480 of worlds if if Barbie's not injured, she she snatches that 939 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,720 one. Yeah, I mean, you know that I'm 940 00:49:49,720 --> 00:49:53,960 the assistant vice secretary of the critique of a global fan 941 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,080 club. In my dreams, it's an extremely 942 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,480 competitive match. In my dreams, just because I 943 00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,400 love I miss BBQ so much I would love to see her I'd love to see 944 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,960 her take it and make an yet another deep run because there's 945 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,920 just no one I like seeing come out of nowhere like I like 946 00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,040 seeing Krichikova come out of nowhere and just take the whole 947 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,120 damn thing. You know you say if she's 948 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,840 injured, I mean she's injured she's kind of permanently 949 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:19,200 injured these days. It's like she didn't have her 950 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,160 her leg wrapping on in her last tournament. 951 00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,360 I which I was I think was a like a 125. 952 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:30,440 She made the final, but she looked injured. 953 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:32,240 She hits a point where she's not moving as well. 954 00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:37,920 So I'm I'm going to just wait and see what happens. 955 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,280 But I'm, I'm with you. I hope that our that our dreams 956 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,920 of it being just an absolute barn Buster come true. 957 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:51,400 Because I think that their styles match up really well 958 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,880 against each other and. And but they're, and they're, 959 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,440 they're different like like Baptiste is like, is like a 960 00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,440 crafty power player. I feel like Krichikoba is a 961 00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:04,000 powerful craft player. It's, it's like compatible 962 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:08,720 enough to really go toe to toe, but like different enough that 963 00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:11,160 it's going to be fun. I I I I love your instincts on 964 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,440 this one. I'm excited. 965 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:19,480 But then of course, we've got Townsend and Coco, like, again, 966 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:23,080 some mother effer who's not randomizing these draws is like, 967 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,720 oh, oh, I'm going to put these two against each other. 968 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,960 Yeah, I know I could. See, I could see Townsend taking 969 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,000 that. Oh, a hundred, a hundred 970 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:35,680 percent, 100%, especially first round because like, I feel like 971 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:41,480 historically, like when, when top players like go out early in 972 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,680 a slam, it's first round because you just they don't have a, they 973 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,080 don't have a chance to, to get their momentum and find their 974 00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:47,440 game yet. Yeah. 975 00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,640 Are there any women's matches that you are eyeing? 976 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,440 I was looking through the draw today, like I was really 977 00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:58,720 studying it and I feel like like Jovic on paper has a very tough 978 00:51:58,720 --> 00:52:02,040 draw in the first couple rounds. But like, I very much see her 979 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,720 coming through it because she's playing against Iola first 980 00:52:05,720 --> 00:52:07,920 round, which is like, and like, that's a cool narrative. 981 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,440 You know, these are two kind of like like young upstarts. 982 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:14,680 I see Jovic taking that one and then she'll either be playing 983 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:19,280 Navarro or Janice Chen, which I'm like two players that I also 984 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:20,920 feel like are like very interesting players. 985 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,960 I don't think any of the any of those three are particularly 986 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:24,120 like hot right now. They're not. 987 00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,240 They're not on a tear. So I see joke. 988 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,320 Navarro's in the final of Strasbourg. 989 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,880 That's true, but that's like. But she hasn't played anybody. 990 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,400 No, and and like I actually, I feel like because I know that 991 00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,640 she's had some injuries and some physical issues, which she's, 992 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,320 you know, she's been very transparent about. 993 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:45,360 I kind of wonder if her having just played a full week tennis 994 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:49,280 is actually going to work against her a little bit at the 995 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,320 French Umbocca versus Bertunkova. 996 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:56,120 I know we we like mentioned that like I'm very, very curious 997 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,280 about that one. I see Osorio beating 998 00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,040 Alexandrova. I think that's actually pretty 999 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,600 uncontroversial. Drova has fallen off. 1000 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,600 Osorio is one of those players who like. 1001 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:09,360 I've watched a few Cami matches recently the past few months and 1002 00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,360 like, she has added power to her game. 1003 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,840 Like she is not the player I remember watching a couple years 1004 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,080 ago. I wouldn't be surprised to see 1005 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,080 her like, you know, make it a little deeper than you expect. 1006 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,600 I I think the last thing I'll say is that who I really who I 1007 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,560 expect to go pretty deep here is Peyton Stearns. 1008 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,240 So she's playing Kenan first round. 1009 00:53:28,240 --> 00:53:31,440 Oh, she's taking that on Clay. She's taking that. 1010 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,720 And then if she gets the seed in the second round, Towson, Yeah, 1011 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,560 on clay. I mean like literally like she's 1012 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,600 getting exactly another. One like, where's she? 1013 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,080 I know well, and this is this is I think by far her worst surface 1014 00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:47,160 too. It just doesn't see her GameStop 1015 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,040 at all. Well, and I have another round 1016 00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:50,560 three match up that I think is interesting. 1017 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,120 It's Ostapenko versus. Fiance. 1018 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:53,560 Oh my God, of course. How? 1019 00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,320 How could I say that? Yeah, how could you forget that? 1020 00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,200 There's like, there's such good memes going around that on 1021 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:01,520 Twitter. It's so good. 1022 00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,680 I like Ostapenko on the phone with with Marismo being like, 1023 00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:07,160 yes, yes, Emily, yes. Round three. 1024 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:07,600 Yeah. Sounds good. 1025 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,840 See you there. Yeah, that works for me. 1026 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,880 You know what Asapenko is like the new James Bond and she's 1027 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,440 just been given like a new assassin target and she's going 1028 00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:21,960 to snipe Shiantek in round 3. Asapenko, she's. 1029 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,480 She's legitimately my favorite player on tour right now. 1030 00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:29,040 No, you're lying. Why would you lie to me in the 1031 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,280 mask? Like who should my favorite 1032 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,520 player be if not Ostapenko? Look, Ostapenko is great, but 1033 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,920 like, she never wins and like, I'm tired of seeing that. 1034 00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:40,040 OK. She's actually had kind of a 1035 00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:41,920 good year this year, Paul, no. She doesn't want to turn like 1036 00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,440 she doesn't complete it. She never gets to the finish 1037 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,360 line. Are you actually saying I'm only 1038 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,880 allowed to to like players who win tournaments? 1039 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,640 Yes, and also she's a one note player. 1040 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:54,960 She doesn't have Plan B. She. 1041 00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:00,800 Doesn't hit. She's a slam winner and oh so 1042 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:02,560 now. The qualification is a slam 1043 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:03,600 winner. I thought even after like 1044 00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,360 winners. But OK, now we're just fighting. 1045 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,880 Listen fighting. I think, I think that like the 1046 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,000 kind of redlining she does, the kind of shot making she does, 1047 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:16,040 where she will hit these blisters into the absolute 1048 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,200 corner of the court, like, I'm sorry, I think that's 1049 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:19,640 impressive. Like, sue me. 1050 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,640 Oh yeah? Well, you'll be hearing from my 1051 00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:25,400 lawyer, but we got to move on. On the men's side, I feel like 1052 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,600 there's a lot of crazy first round matchups. 1053 00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,480 We talked a little bit about Arthur Fees and Stan Vavrinka. 1054 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,680 I hate everything about that match up. 1055 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,840 I love both of them so much. I don't know who to root for. 1056 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,400 I am going to have to root for Stan though, and I really want 1057 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:44,760 Stan to wear the shorts that he wore in 2014 when he won because 1058 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,480 that was such a crazy look, just like us in these masks. 1059 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,600 I just watched the the Kylie Minogue 3 part documentary 1060 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:57,040 series on Netflix and they reminded me of the gold hot 1061 00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,640 pants that she wore in the spinning round video that like 1062 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,080 that really like were like kind of like rode up on her on her 1063 00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,200 ass and her cheeks were hanging out. 1064 00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:04,760 I hope I want stand to wear those shorts. 1065 00:56:05,240 --> 00:56:07,840 OK, Bold. I think that's a that's that 1066 00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,240 would be an interesting way to go out. 1067 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,360 I don't know if he's that type of I feel like Carlos Zalkaraz 1068 00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,280 would be wearing those on his comeback tour, but you know, 1069 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,520 we'll see. Well, what do you think about 1070 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,440 Zhang versus Prismich? I'm very excited about that. 1071 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,480 Zhang, the college kid who made it to the Australian third round 1072 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,200 and everyone's like, oh, is he going to take his prize money or 1073 00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:27,880 not because he's still playing in college. 1074 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:34,040 I think that they both represent again, two very next Jenny guys 1075 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,440 that like I feel like I feel like they're both going to be 1076 00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:40,560 bringing all of their weapons and this is going to be a a 1077 00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,840 slugfest. Imprismitch definitely has like 1078 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,680 riding high from just beating Novak but like. 1079 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,520 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's going to be I'm 1080 00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:49,480 I'm, I'm intrigued by that match up. 1081 00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,560 I'm intrigued by it too, like because I feel like these are 1082 00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,280 true players that to your point, we'll be seeing a lot more of 1083 00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,520 going forward. I mean, I like, I love 1084 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,400 Prismitch's game style. Dudes a wall. 1085 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,160 Like dudes a wall. Like he will. 1086 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,880 I mean, he is very Novak coded in a lot of ways actually. 1087 00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:10,200 But like, I feel like he's been, he's been gestating longer. 1088 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,560 So I sort of expect, I expect him to be the one to come out of 1089 00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,040 that one. But it'll be a fun match to 1090 00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:23,280 watch, yeah? What obscure North Balkan ranked 1091 00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:26,320 130th player in the world are you excited about in the? 1092 00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,840 God, I mean on, on the, that's kind of my, that's my secret on 1093 00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,800 the women's side, on the that's my special sauce on the women's 1094 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:33,960 side. On the men's side, I don't know 1095 00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:39,520 so much, but I will say like Jaime Faria, the Portuguese 1096 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,880 player has Chapo first round. I expect Chapo to lose. 1097 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:45,480 I think, I think it's going to be Faria. 1098 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,400 I think he's I think he's had some quiet momentum that's been 1099 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:52,320 building, made it through quali. So you know, he's he's tuned up, 1100 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,920 he's ready to go. I think Colin Yan is going to 1101 00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,480 beat Bukich first round and then I think he'll beat Shelton 1102 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,960 second round. I'm like, I'm, I'm a big Korean 1103 00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,360 booster fan. I just like his nose. 1104 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:06,920 I think he has the sexiest nose in tennis. 1105 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:08,200 I. Love his nose. 1106 00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,520 I, I like, I'm, I, I'm, it's a, it's a work of art. 1107 00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:15,840 It belongs in a statue. But he has La Hetchka first 1108 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,840 round, which you would think, you would think like, oh, like 1109 00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,440 he's not making it through that. But remember, La Hetchka lost 1110 00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,400 first round last year. Yeah. 1111 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,200 In French Open, I think, I don't, I think he was like, I 1112 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,440 don't think he was at his best. But I don't think clay is really 1113 00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,320 a surface. And honestly Clay's not PCBS 1114 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,920 either, he's a hard court dude. But like, I don't know, I just 1115 00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:39,640 like La Hedgeka is so good when he's good, but then randomly he 1116 00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:41,120 just won't show up. Crap so. 1117 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,360 I agree, I I was eyeballing that one too. 1118 00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:48,800 Like Karina Busta and he no Bautista Agood is the one who's 1119 00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,280 retiring this year, but I think Karina Busta only has a year or 1120 00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:54,400 two left so. The only other the only other 1121 00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:58,080 match like really intrigues me. The one, the one that like has 1122 00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:02,800 me on the edge of my seat is it's kind of random, but Altmire 1123 00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:07,840 and FAA, because I, I think that's going to be a close one. 1124 00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,120 I, I honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that's two, if 1125 00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,480 that's three tie breaks and I wouldn't be surprised if he 1126 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,600 looks loose. I need to say it. 1127 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:21,760 It's and actually let's let's transition into making some 1128 00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,880 predictions. It is time for us to put the 1129 00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:28,880 whore and Oracle and Matthew, I want you to grab your crystal 1130 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:34,080 balls. All three of them, all three 1131 00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:38,040 years smalls. And we're going to make some 1132 00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,760 predictions now. Who's making the deep runs? 1133 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,120 Who's crapping out? Who is going to win it 1134 00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:46,640 ultimately? And every Grand Slam, we have to 1135 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:48,920 have this conversation. But there's always someone who 1136 00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:52,280 craps out early on the men's and women's side. 1137 00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,400 You know, for the French Open, I also subtitled this as who is 1138 00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,040 this year's Taylor Fritz? Because famously last year 1139 00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:02,720 Taylor Fritz was ranked 4th at the French Open, which is not 1140 01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,240 accurate in terms of being the 4th best clay court player in 1141 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:11,680 the world. And this year FAA is ranked 4th. 1142 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:16,560 And I don't think that FAA is the 4th best clay court player 1143 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,520 in the world, but it's fine. He's ranked that fine. 1144 01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:23,240 But I agree, I think he's definitely on the chopping block 1145 01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:27,280 to the crap out early. He's my kind of number one 1146 01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:31,480 option in terms of top five top eight players. 1147 01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:39,480 I have a semi controversial one for like a top 20 player, which 1148 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:44,440 is I actually feel like Casper rude could fall out earlier and 1149 01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,080 which is which is controversial because he's he's he's got 1150 01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:50,480 momentum. He's been doing great and Clay 1151 01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:55,280 is a is a surface as he's great on, but I just have this weird 1152 01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,720 instinct that if it's not Majedovich who takes him out 1153 01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:06,520 early, that I actually feel like Saffulin is is is coming. 1154 01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:12,640 In the first round. I, I just again, so I, I think I 1155 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:16,800 overweight what I perceive as like someone just coming off of 1156 01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,240 a tournament right before a slam. 1157 01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,520 So I feel like they're tired and their body's kind of broken 1158 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,120 down. And I feel like rude has had 1159 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,680 physical issues before. And so like I just feel like if 1160 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:30,640 he comes in at all compromised in these long ass matches, like 1161 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:35,720 anything can happen. So, so this is I like to, I like 1162 01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,600 to come in with like. I completely disagree, but I 1163 01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,560 think it's I, I, I applaud your, your hotspot. 1164 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,320 I think what I'm learning on this show is how much you hate 1165 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:45,200 Casper. Rude. 1166 01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,320 I love. You've done nothing but shit on 1167 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:52,400 him and downplay his ability to be James Bond. 1168 01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:57,800 I'm going to, I'm going to say this again, Paul, that I don't 1169 01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:02,840 think a player's ability to win a match is is not even in the 1170 01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:07,000 top five things that I value in them and that I find appealing 1171 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,760 of them. It is not a a knock against them 1172 01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,280 if I don't think they're going to win a match. 1173 01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:15,880 The next show, when we do our recap of the tournament, first 1174 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:19,320 of all, I want you, I'm going to have you issue a public apology, 1175 01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:23,280 but then I want to get a full listing of these other five 1176 01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:24,600 things that you care about more than winning. 1177 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:26,640 But we'll we're going to save that for the next show. 1178 01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:32,680 So I'm going to throw a dart out there and I'm going to say I 1179 01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:36,040 have 3 darts. I'm going to say Busi over 1180 01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:39,520 Rublev. I'm going to, which is like, you 1181 01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,080 know, not that controversial. No, but that's the I like that 1182 01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:42,880 one. I agree with you. 1183 01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:47,720 I think Bonzi takes out Sverav in the first round and I I hate 1184 01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:52,280 to say this one, but Seigman. Seigman over Osaka. 1185 01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:57,800 I just I think it's happening. How many more like witches 1186 01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:02,240 curses does Seigman have left in her in her bag of tricks? 1187 01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,800 She's the what's the what's that woman from weapons? 1188 01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,920 Gladys. She's the Angel of the of the 1189 01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:12,880 women's tour. Aunt Gladys Seigesmond. 1190 01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,760 OK, you know, we never learned at Gladys's last name. 1191 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,600 Maybe it's Seigesmond. It might be well there. 1192 01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:20,400 Well, there's going to be a she's going to have her own 1193 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:21,320 movie. So and. 1194 01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:23,720 It's taking place on a tennis court. 1195 01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:28,400 I feel like there's less likelihood of some upsets on the 1196 01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,360 women's side. The women's side has been much 1197 01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:34,520 more consistent than the men's. I feel like we're going to have 1198 01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:38,600 a pretty straightforward first few rounds on the women's side, 1199 01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:40,520 and then the third and the fourth round is going to be 1200 01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,440 bazookas out and everyone's going to be hunting. 1201 01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,760 For each other, well, round 3 is my favorite round. 1202 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:47,000 Round 4 is my second favorite round. 1203 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:48,400 Like those are the best rounds of the tournament. 1204 01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,600 And like it's literally just like a Great Wall of tennis. 1205 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,600 It's like you turn, you can turn on the TV and there's like a 1206 01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,120 match on all day. Whereas on the men's side, we're 1207 01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:58,320 going to have at least seven or eight people in the third round 1208 01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:00,840 where it's like, who the hell is that? 1209 01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,160 Which American man is going to make it to the fourth round? 1210 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,160 1010 I think he has a a great draw. 1211 01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:14,960 I am also going to give a mild, like a 3% chance to Tommy Paul, 1212 01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,000 just as he's playing well in Hamburg right now. 1213 01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,640 But yeah, yeah. If Shevchenko takes up Mickelson 1214 01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,360 in the first round, which I feel like he could, and then he gets 1215 01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,520 either Bazaf already or Fritz, I feel like he has a really good 1216 01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:32,200 chance of making Round 3. I just, I love like Alexander 1217 01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,760 Shevchenko, like going deep in the slate, like, this is the 1218 01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:36,920 shit I live for. This is like, like I play the 1219 01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:38,840 heel. I'm like, I'm like the one who's 1220 01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:40,760 getting dirty looks because I'm cheering for the wrong player at 1221 01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:44,080 a match. You How do you think Medvedev's 1222 01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:48,800 going to do? I I am not optimistic about any 1223 01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:55,880 of my lanky, lanky men. Him and Bublik are, I think, not 1224 01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,040 long for this tournament, unfortunately. 1225 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,640 Well, there there's there's an X Factor that we haven't talked 1226 01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:05,640 about, which is there is extreme heat predicted for this 1227 01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:07,200 tournament, Francis having a heat wave. 1228 01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:11,560 So and like and Medvedev, Medvedev hates the heat. 1229 01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:15,520 He he Wilts in the heat. I like hate to see it, but it's 1230 01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:18,160 just it's one more chaos agent like entering the chat, 1231 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,720 disrupting everybody's expectations. 1232 01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,560 But think about Medvedev. It's like, yeah, I think the 1233 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:26,400 conditions aren't right for him to thrive, but he does have a 1234 01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,040 good draw. He's got Adam Walton first round 1235 01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:34,880 and then either Poprin or is Vasta, is Vasta, is Vista. 1236 01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,480 Yeah, I don't know. Who if you don't follow him on 1237 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,440 TikTok, he's like the cutest tik toker but. 1238 01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,320 Is he OK? OK, well I don't even I don't 1239 01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:44,480 even have TikTok download. I'm boomer coded. 1240 01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:48,600 Well, I'm young, so yeah. Yeah, sure, Jan. 1241 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,360 Yeah, I do like that section that you're talking about, 1242 01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:53,560 though, because that's the section also where like Gael 1243 01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:55,960 Monfise is. Like, I'm wondering, does 1244 01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:59,320 Monfise have a run to the fourth round lift in him? 1245 01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:03,320 Because Sarundello is the other seated person in that part. 1246 01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,120 And like, I love Francisco Sarundello. 1247 01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,680 He's playing like crap lately. I don't know what's going on 1248 01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,320 with him, but he's just not dialed in mentally. 1249 01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:15,400 Like his match that he lost to Moussetti was so bad in Rome. 1250 01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,800 So I think that there's a real shot for someone to make a run 1251 01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:20,360 here, and I think it could be Monte. 1252 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,360 So yeah. We've seen these players, 1253 01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:28,800 especially in the WA side, WTA side, be liberated by the lack 1254 01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:31,760 of expectation. You know, they don't, they don't 1255 01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,160 have to worry about getting the points. 1256 01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:35,800 Like they know they're on their farewell tour. 1257 01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,160 I mean, it does light a fire in the weirdest way, so you never 1258 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:40,040 know. Yeah, yeah. 1259 01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,000 And you play free, although he's never had an issue with playing 1260 01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:46,320 free. But yeah, on the women's side, 1261 01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,600 which American woman is going to go the furthest? 1262 01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:52,080 That's a that's a great question. 1263 01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,760 Thank you. Like I said, I like Jovic's 1264 01:06:55,760 --> 01:07:00,640 draw. I could see Pagula doing well 1265 01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:04,640 even though again, slams are not exactly her calling card. 1266 01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:10,480 I mean like Baptiste is a fun name to throw out, but I don't 1267 01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,120 know. Well, this is also more like 1268 01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:15,640 just like vibe coding, like based on the clay season. 1269 01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:17,960 I don't know if there's an American home like, oh, they're 1270 01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:20,640 going to take it, but also. I'd say I'd say Pagula. 1271 01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:23,000 I'd say consist, consistency queen. 1272 01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:26,640 I think there's a lot of chaos in the air right now, and I feel 1273 01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,560 like someone who's just kind of mentally locked down is going to 1274 01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,200 be a superpower. I don't think it's going to be 1275 01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,600 Anasimova. I mean, I don't really see Clay 1276 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,120 as her surface anyways. I was just looking at her like, 1277 01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:41,480 is she another candidate for crapping out in the first round 1278 01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:43,280 or second round? Like where has she been? 1279 01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:46,000 Yeah, I don't know. But the thing about Anasimova is 1280 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:49,760 that she's got a pretty easy draw, like to the fourth round. 1281 01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:52,560 The highest ranked player she would play is Lee. 1282 01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:56,360 Yeah, but like the French is where you get these like, like 1283 01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,840 Antonio Rouzich will go on a tear or like, you know, yeah, 1284 01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:03,760 yeah, we're going to have a a storyline like that. 1285 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,440 It's like a a Schmidlava storyline at the at the 1286 01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:07,680 Olympics. And I love it. 1287 01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:11,600 It's like we need like the rando queen like every year 1 rises 1288 01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:13,680 and every year I have no idea who it's going to be. 1289 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,279 Rando Queen is my grinder name so thank you. 1290 01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:22,479 OK, last few questions. So come to your head. 1291 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:24,600 Who is going to win the men's tournament? 1292 01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:30,439 Center. I'm going to say it now, and I'm 1293 01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:31,960 going to say it with my full chest. 1294 01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:33,439 Casper. Rude. 1295 01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,080 Really. Yeah. 1296 01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:41,040 OK, both. He is in a zone and. 1297 01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:43,840 I think it's, it's like I think he's going out Round 2 and you 1298 01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:45,240 think he's going to win the whole tournament. 1299 01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,640 I like, I love, I love this. I love this actually. 1300 01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:51,120 I, I just feel bad for how wrong you're going to be, but you 1301 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:52,479 know. Listen, no. 1302 01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:55,000 You have a much higher chance of being right than I than I do I. 1303 01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:57,279 I fully own that. No, don't you know what? 1304 01:08:57,279 --> 01:08:59,279 Don't kiss up now. It's too late. 1305 01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:02,920 Who is going to win the women's title? 1306 01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:07,399 Barbora Korchikova. Barbora Korchikova. 1307 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,040 OK, OK. Well, I'm sorry, Haley Baptiste. 1308 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:12,640 I feel like you're lying. I don't think you mean that. 1309 01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:14,080 Who do you think is really going to win? 1310 01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,080 Look at your crystal balls, get them out, rub them really hard 1311 01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:21,920 and let us know. You know what, let's say Mira 1312 01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:25,439 Andreva and it's it's more it's kind of a process of 1313 01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:27,920 elimination. It's like I feel like M Boca 1314 01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,319 might be tired. I mean like we're back in AI. 1315 01:09:30,319 --> 01:09:32,560 Just don't think that like she's fully in command of her game. 1316 01:09:33,319 --> 01:09:36,319 Sabalenka. I see her making like the semis. 1317 01:09:36,319 --> 01:09:39,479 Maybe it's like who's left? Who Coco Coco. 1318 01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,960 Like I'm sorry, I know Coco just like just won the French, but 1319 01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,640 like I just can't say she's going to win it. 1320 01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:48,800 I can't I just can't like see all the pieces clicking into 1321 01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:50,120 place. So you're getting. 1322 01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:51,600 Close. You're getting close. 1323 01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:52,640 Can I tell you who's going to win? 1324 01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:54,880 Yeah. Jessica Pagula. 1325 01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:58,000 I mean, OK, yeah, well, I said I think she's going to go deep, 1326 01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:58,920 but. I know. 1327 01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:00,240 No, you're. And yeah, yeah. 1328 01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:01,640 I was like, I don't know why you're forgetting about her. 1329 01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:05,200 She just doesn't do well in long tournaments. 1330 01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,560 I mean doesn't do well she she makes semi. 1331 01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:11,080 She does she runs great but I'm but I'm saying she but she runs 1332 01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:13,280 out of steam. I don't think it's that she runs 1333 01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:14,680 out of steam. I think that she's had to just 1334 01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,400 learn how to play those matches and she's gotten better and 1335 01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:22,240 better and better, and I think that her game is going to really 1336 01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:28,680 match a hot Paris with a bit of like a crazy vibe in the air. 1337 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,360 I think that this is her time because also I think that this 1338 01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,120 is like the last year of Jessica Pagula relevance. 1339 01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,360 So it's got to happen now. That's the story. 1340 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:38,880 And so that's what's going to happen. 1341 01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:44,720 So when we reconvene in two weeks, we will talk about all of 1342 01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:48,480 that and more because Matthew Coleman, that is our show. 1343 01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:52,000 It's been fantastic. I feel like we're barely here. 1344 01:10:52,480 --> 01:10:54,080 I mean, it came and went so quick. 1345 01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,680 It came and went so quick. That's what she said. 1346 01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:00,920 The masks are dry. We've got to go take these off. 1347 01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,200 But Matthew Coleman, thank you so much for coming back. 1348 01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:07,600 It is always a pleasure. And everyone out there, buckle 1349 01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:09,640 up. We are in for something is going 1350 01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:12,240 to happen in Paris. I don't think anyone really 1351 01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,680 knows what. So enjoy it, have fun. 1352 01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,880 We'll be posting a lot on our Instagram. 1353 01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:21,680 That's at TBB Tennis and we'll be back in just two short weeks 1354 01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:26,000 with a recap of all of the hits, misses, giggles and wiggles from 1355 01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,880 the French Open. And until then, our balls are 1356 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,960 going back in the can. Thanks y'all, bye.
