 All right, what's going on everybody? Welcome to quarter finals day number two and we have probably the better of the two quarter final lineups because yesterday was, we had, I mean, one very close match. The rest of the matches were sort of one sided. There were some good matchups, but not really any good matches in the end. But today, every matchup is very interesting and every matchup, well at least two of the three, or two of the four could go three sets, at least. Especially this one, because this one, look, you know, Mukova's a little bit underrated. Let's go to the preview. If you haven't seen the preview videos, here it is. Carolina Mukova versus Alina Rabakina is the third quarter final for the ladies for Indian Wells for 2023. And both plays about different roads to get to this stage. Mukova started the tournament unseeded and would take on Putin Sever in the first round. And after a close second set, she would eventually get through in three, six, three, four, six, six, four. In the second round, she would take on the 14th seed as a ranker. And after a tiebreaker in the first, Mukova would get through in straights, seven, six, six, three. In the third round, she would take on the 23th seed, Treveson. And again, would have to battle through in three after dropping the second set, six, four, three, six, six, four. In the fourth round, she would take on Country Woman and fellow unseeded player, Von Drussever, who had just beaten Onstubara in the previous round. Again, Mukova would have to fight in three, six, four, six, seven, six, four, to get to the quarter finals. Rabakina started the tournament off as the number 10 seed. And we're gonna buy in the first round. In the second round, she would take on Sofia Kenan, a fellow grand slam champion. And this would be a very tough match for Rabakina getting through in straights, seven, six, seven, six. In the third round, she'd take on 2021 champion and 21st seed, Bedosa. And after a second set that was close, Rabakina would eventually get through six, three, seven, five. In the fourth round, she'd take on the qualified Gracheva, who had just beaten Kazakina along the way. And this was by far the best match for Rabakina, getting through in straight sets, six, three, six, love, to advance to the quarter finals. These two have only played the one time before. That was at the US Open back in 2019, with Mukova getting the straight sets win, but it's been a long time since then. Rabakina's done some great things in the last four years. If Mukova's gonna win this one, it's gonna come down to injuries, because over the last couple of matches, she's wearing a lot of tape on her legs. So she's obviously coming in with something wrong with her, maybe with, you know, her thigh or her leg. So let's see what she can do with her movement, but she has to be aggressive and move Rabakina around and try not to move much herself. If Rabakina's gonna win this one, she's a serve big and she needs to make Mukova run. Those legs are looking bandaged up. She's gonna have to make her run a lot and get those legs hurting even more. Hopefully Mukova can last the distance in this one, but it's gonna be interesting to see how this one plays out. I'm gonna go with Rabakina though in straight sets. She's just getting better and better as the tournament goes on. And it seems like that back problem she had a few weeks ago is starting to go away. But let me know down in the comments below, who do you think's gonna win this quarter final? Okay. So there it is. There's the preview and you can see there. Winner of this match will play the winner of Shfiante Kastaiya, which is happening straight up to this match, which is gonna be very interesting matchup as well. And then you've got Sabalenka Sakari already into the semi-finals. They both won yesterday. Sabalenka, very impressive. And Sakari also impressive in a big fight back. What's up, I'm Carolina Mukova, number 76 in the world. She's 26 years old from the Czech Republic. 5'11", right-handed. Seven wins, three losses on the year. No titles this year, but she has got one career title. And her form has been pretty good. She made a quarter final back in, I think in Dubai a couple of weeks ago. So she's gone back to back in Masters 1000. Or WTA 1000 events. And Alina Rabakina, the world number 10, Wimbledon champion of course, 23 year old from Kazakhstan. She's six foot tall, right-handed. 10 wins, four losses on the year. No titles this year, but she did make the Australian Open Final. And she has three career titles, including Wimbledon. And her form has been okay. She's been sold, that Australian Open stands out, but obviously the Australian Open stood out. So the Wimbledon stood out last year. And she's had the Australian Open, but she hasn't made a really big final other than the Australian Open. And it's 1-0 Mukova in this one. Interesting, interesting. Mukova won their match in 2019 back at the US Open, but we all know that Rabakina is way, way better than when she was in 2019. If she played maybe in 2021, then in 2021, maybe it would have been a little different. Maybe we could have said, well, you know, that's a good Rabakina in 2020 and 2021, but 2023 Rabakina compared to 2019 is completely different. So Mukova isn't playing the same person as she did back then. But there is the concern of the back injury. The back, when she pulled out of Dubai with the back problem against Goff, or she pulled out before the match was starting. And she's got tape on her, like sort of over her shoulders and down her back. So there's definitely some discomfort. But also Mukova has tape all around her legs. So they're both battling with something. So it's going to be interesting. Mukova wasn't on my radar. Yeah, Mukova is always, always someone you've got to watch out for. Because she's always going to, I mean, she can beat anybody at any time. Made the semifinals of the Australian Open a few years ago, beat Barty at the Australian Open in I think 2021, right? 2021. Yes, she's always someone that if she's healthy, she can really beat anybody. All right, players are ready to go. Two of the tallest players on tour. And I can confirm Mukova has a lot of tape around her legs. So let's see if that makes any difference. She's just got tape, just wrapped up her legs. All right, I'm waiting for her back in a vestu-friante. Yeah, hopefully we get that. That'll be epic. Because then we have four amazing semifinalists. What's going on, Ashley? How are you doing? Enjoy the match? Being lurk mode, no worries. Nothing wrong with lurking. All right, they're just warming up. Well, they're just showing the, warming up the crowd with a bit of an intro. All right, let's answer some more questions. We'll be right. I've been impressed with Mukova since seeing her versus Garcia. Yep. Yeah, she's, I guess the last couple of weeks. I mean, what is she doing in Dubai? Did she beat, who's she beaten this year? She definitely got that, you know, that kind of the vibe of, I don't wanna, like no one wants to play her. She's almost in the top of the power ranks, like almost in the top 20. We'll go to that later in the match. But yeah, she beat Bencich in Dubai. She lost to Garcia in Doha, but she took her to three sets, almost took her out, beat Azarenka here. She lost to Begulla. She actually pulled out of Dubai, walk over against Begulla. But yeah, she's been very solid. She's only lost like last year. She lost to Jabir. She lost to Halib. She lost to Bencich. She lost to Osaka. She had a lot of walkers. She's known to withdraw from matches and retire matches because of injuries. So she's very injury prone. She also lost to Garcia. She lost to Collins at the Australian Open in a very close third set tie break, super tie break. But yeah, I think, you know, she gets a good draw. She can go on a run like this. All right. What's going on now? How you doing? I like both, but Rebecca has this one. What happened to the carpet courts? They're just too dangerous, I guess. Overunder for this match. Ooh, good question. Overunder is probably, oh, it's 21 and a half. 21 and a half, the overunder. Yeah, we're almost, yeah. We're almost at 127,000. That's crazy. Cam, what do you think of Castellas performance against Garcia? I thought she played great, but made a struggle today. Yeah, Rajesh. Well, it's funny, because Castella is kind of like, pardon me, kind of like Mukava, except a little older, right? She's also done well, well, probably a year or two ago, or last year she did really well at the Australian Open, but then just, you know, didn't quite take advantage of that good start. So I think both Mukava and Castella, I mean, they're in the quarterfinals of a big tournament, but I think both of them are way lower than they should be. They should be in the top, at least the top 50 with their rankings, because they're a lot better than they're ranking. But I think, yeah, you're right. I think Shriontek is gonna make her struggle today, but Castella, you know, she's not a bad player. She's not bad. She might make it interesting. The under today says Zachary, okay. This is gonna be an interesting one. Now these two ladies do have a lot of power. They do have a lot of power with their pretty good servers as well. I'm just a little worried that Mukava's gonna, she's known to pull out of matches. We'll see how bad the legs are, but she is known to retire a match. Yes, Joe, I did laugh at your Instagram. Thank you for, that was funny. How old is Mukava? Mukava's only 26, you know? So she's not, she's just getting started really. Midway through her 20s, so she's still got time. Just injuries, injuries, injuries, injuries. What's going on Peaches, how you doing? She was a Canadian final a few years ago as well. Who's that, Castella or Mukava? Let me have a check. Did Mukava make the Canadian final? I can't remember. Castella might have back in the way back when, but. So yeah, so Mukava's made two quarterfinal's of Wimbledon and a semifinal at the Australian Open, which is when she beat Barty to get there. And she's made a quarterfinal here. I'm sorry, quarterfinal Dubai, quarterfinal here, quarterfinal Madrid. So it hasn't played. Like I'm looking at her. I'm looking at her Masters 1000 record and she's just got a lot of missed. Like in 2019, she played two times, or two Masters 1000s and then didn't play the rest. In 2020, she only played two, but most of them weren't held. In 2021, she played only three of them. Last year she played three and now she's played two in a row. For the first time, she's played Indian Wells. This is the first time she's been at Indian Wells. And again, just because she just gets injured so much. And Castella, she's made a quarterfinal of a slam once. That's a bit of a shock back in 2009. And yeah, Castella made the final of the Canadian Open back in 2013, a couple of years ago. 10 years ago, lost to Serena in the final. She beat Lina, she beat Petri Gavitova. She beats Jankovic and Wozniaki. That's a run. Wozniaki, Jankovic, Kovitova, Lina, and then lost to Serena. I mean, that's a hell of a run. Crazy. Castella was sort of, we'll talk about this more in the next match, but Castella was like, like it was sort of like Castella and Halop. And everyone kind of gravitated towards Castella back in the day, which is where their kind of rivalry started. That Halop was like, well, what the hell is she getting all the publicity and why am I not getting any of the love? But then Halop went on to do more things and Castella didn't do quite as much as what everyone thought, I guess. But she's doing some things now. She's not wearing the slams, but she is doing some things. She's still competitive at this age. Big money on Sina. Oh, Sina versus Fritz. That is gonna be very fun. That's coming up a little later today, but man, that's gonna be a lot of fun. Rebecca is gonna serve first in this one. Today's predictions, Rebecca and Wozniaki, any upsets in the making? I'm gonna go for the sake of the semifinals. I'm gonna go to Fjontek and Rabakinen because I want to see them play again. Who doesn't want to rematch the Australian Open? But on the men's side, I could see Sina beating Fritz and I could see FAA beating Elkerez. I guess they're both upsets, right? I'm saying yes. Oh, no, Fritz is the underdog. Wow, okay. That's interesting. Well, Elkerez is the favorite. So I could see FAA beating Elkerez because he's done it a couple of times. I don't think Castella beats Shfiontek. Mukaver could beat Rabakinen today, but it just depends on who hurts more. Who's more hurt? Is it Rabakinen's back or is it Mukaver's legs? What's gonna give up first? Fritz underrated? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, Sina's great, but yeah, I guess that's a 50-50, yeah. Yeah, watch the preview videos if you haven't already. We put them all together. Thank you for everybody who watched them. All right, here we go. We're back into the serve first in this one. I remember Mukaver turning around at the bar to court of final off a medical timeout, then press reports kept asking Barty if she thought the medical timeout helped. Mukaver, Ash kept saying no that Mukaver earned it. Yeah, because Barty's classy. Okay, who's gonna win this match? You tell me, Rabakinen to serve. This is gonna be fun. I reckon this is gonna be a close one. Rabakinen was very good in her last match, though she was dominant in her previous match. I hope that Mukaver can hold up physically. Is it Rabakinen now at the point of Mukaver? And it goes out from Rabakinen. Love 15. Does anyone have any bets on this one, by the way? Anybody, any betters in chat? Anybody got a bet on this one? I can confirm that Rabakinen does have tape on her shoulders and on her back. She serves a fault. Second serve, a 15. Second serve out wide. The back of Mukaver falling out from Rabakinen up into the front of Mukaver on the stretch. Rabakinen forehand is, I'll hit the tape and goes over. She got a little lucky. 15 all. Rabakinen pulled out of a match in Dubai. Was it Dubai or was it Doha? I think it was Dubai, right? Yeah, Dubai. She lost in Abu Dhabi to Haddad Jamiah. And she had a bit of a rough start to this the year. She only had one win before the Australian Open. Coming in with two losses. 30-15. And then the Australian Open run. Of course, she beat Shriyantek, Collins, Osta Penko and Azarenka to get to the final. And then lost to Sabalenka. As we're going to serve now into the net, 30-15. And I think this is the best result at Indian Wells for Rabakinen. I can't remember it being any better than this. 30-15 to find out at the front of Rabakinen. Rabakinen from Mukaver into the slice of Rabakinen to the backhand of Mukaver. Sliced again to the front of Rabakinen. Rabakinen hits a winner in the corner, 40-15. Massive hitting again. Yeah, so her previous best result was a quarter-final last year. Okay. So she made the quarters last year. She lost to Sakri. Oh, interesting. Interesting. Serve to the backhand of Mukaver. Backhand of Rabakinen in the net. 40-30. Did she really make the quarters last year? Can't remember that. Also made the quarter-finals of Wuhan and Cincinnati. She made the final of Dubai, but not in the same year as it was in 1000. She made the final of Dubai when it was a 500 event. And she lost to Halep in a very close match. Back in 2020 before COVID, there's been a four-hand now from Mukaver to the backhand of Rabakinen. Sliced Mukaver into the corner of Rabakinen. Mukaver on the stretch of the forehand goes wide. Rabakinen first game in this first match of the day. Then she made the quarter-finals of Wuhan. She lost to Sabalenka as a wild card. Interesting. Sabalenka went on to win the tournament. And then she made the quarter-finals last year of Cincinnati lost to Keys. So she never made a semi-final of a Masters 1000. That is interesting. That is interesting. That's what makes you mean. Slam finals. She's never made a semi-final of a 1000 event. Has Rabakinen. So trying to do something for the first time here. All right, Mukaver to serve. Hey, what's going on? I hope everything's, everyone's having a great day. Great matchups, hype for our queries versus Felix. Ooh, that's gonna be fun. That's the last match of the day. Finish the day off with that one. All right, one love. Rabakinen serve. It's a fault from Mukaver, second serve. Mukaver looks injured. That's this Mukaver. Mukaver and bandages go hand-in-hand. Has been a double fault. Got my salt in there. Love 15. I bet Mukaver to win a set. I think it's possible. Yeah, she will win a set. She won two sets against this lady a couple of years ago. So yeah, she can win a set for sure. Oh, by the way, chat, you have no idea what I had to deal with yesterday. Yeah. I'll tell you after I tear the next change events. Oh man, yesterday was absolute nightmare. All right. After the streams. Oh man, there's been a slice return. That goes out from Rabakinen, 15-0. Well, count five AM. You love the streams. True professional. No worries, friend. Yeah, I mean, we almost didn't get to stream this match and I'll tell you why in a second. It was a little close for a little bit. First serve's a fault. It was not. Oh, you don't even know. All right, 15-0. I'll tell you though. Second serve, Mukaver. Down to the back end of Rabakinen for now, Mukaver. Into the back end of Rabakinen. But Mukaver hits it out. 15-30. 15-30. Let's just serve again. Mukaver in trouble here. First game's the match. She serves another fault. Come on, first serve! Needs that serve to go start working, Mukaver. That's a big part of the game, of her game. 15-30. Second serve goes to the front end of Rabakinen. Back end of Mukaver. Into the back end of Rabakinen. To the front end of Mukaver. And that goes out. We got a break point, 15-40. 15-40. Mukaver under pressure already. Just too many errors coming from Mukaver at this point. 15-40. She serves again here. Mukaver. Another fault. Second serve. Big, big trouble now. 15-40. She serves. Out wide at the point of Rabakinen. Back end of Mukaver. Again at the back end of Rabakinen. Into the back end slice of Mukaver. Slice from Rabakinen goes wide. Mukaver saves one. 30-40. One saved. Mukaver needs those first serves though. Your English is very understandable. Good speaking is easy for us foreigners to understand you. Thanks for the good pronunciation. Hey. Sure. No worries, Remy. I'm glad you can understand me. Anything I say if you don't understand, feel free to ask. I do say things that maybe only Australians understand. So. But no, that's awesome. All right, 30-40. Serve into the front end of Rabakinen. Return goes in the back end of Mukaver. Front end of Rabakinen. In the net. Mukaver saves both. And we get to Deuce. We get to Deuce. Cam speaks to the world. Yeah, there's a lot of people from all around the world here. So it's really cool. All right, Deuce. Couple of break points saved already from Mukaver. As we go to serve. That's a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Again, Mukaver. Missing first serves all over the place. That goes into the front end of Rabakinen. Return goes long. Advantage Mukaver. Mukaver has made a lot of errors in her last two games as well. Not sure if because of injuries or not. And Mukaver, I mean, as good as she can be, she can also make a lot of errors. Like she can play amazing when she's on, but when she's off, it's ugly. So to find a fault may be because of injury or not. But she does make a lot of errors sometimes too. She's going to find down the line at the back end of Rabakinen. To the slice of Mukaver. Find out Rabakinen. Into the front end of Mukaver on the stretch. That goes in to the front end of Rabakinen. Slice drops her to the net. Mukaver survives the first game. One-one in this first set. One game all. All right, 10 minutes into this one. Now let's have a look at court time because these two ladies have played, well, Mukaver's played an extra match this week. Rabakinen has played three matches, five hours on court. And Mukaver's played four matches nearly 10 hours. She's almost played twice as long as Rabakinen. And only one extra match. So that's kind of crazy. No wonder she's got sore legs. Mukaver served 18 aces for the tournament. 18 double faults. 19 aces for Rabakinen or 11 double faults. So again, I think the ace count's going to be low for everybody this week because of the slow courts. And Rabakinen has been broken five times in the event. Mukaver broken 14 times. I was going to find that winner there from Rabakinen. 30 love. It's going to be a lot harder for Mukaver to break based on that. Also break points one. Mukaver has had 44 chances to break and she's only taken 19 of those. Rabakinen also not that great. 26 break points in the three matches. She's only taken half of those 13. As we return now. Oh, Rabakinen almost hit a winner down the line. Just goes long. 30-15. So yeah. So I guess the longer this match goes, the harder it's going to be for Mukaver because she's already played so many hours. I mean 10 hours in four matches. It's averaging, well like two and a half hours of match, right? Which is not quick. I mean that's a two and a half hours is like three sets. Not easy. All right, 30-15. As we're just served to the back end of Mukaver. Oh, Mukaver hits it in. All right, 30-oh. 30-oh. Back end is good from Mukaver. Now a chance for Mukaver to break. Back of the line by the way. Mukaver winning straight sets, okay. 30-oh. Big chance here to get a break point. That's a good shot. Mukaver with a pass. We're back in a volley. Mukaver, oh nearly gets there but can't quite make the shot. 40-30. That's a good sign that Mukaver ran to that volley. Shows it maybe the legs aren't as bad as the bandages suggest. 40-30 to get back the lead. First there's a fault. Second serve. Second serve. There's a double-oh. It's in the net on the return. And it's two-one. Unbelievable. We're back in a stage in front. So Chad, yesterday was nuts. So about, so I was setting up the streams, doing all that stuff, you know, getting the graphics ready, putting together the preview videos for today's matches. And also watching, what was I watching? American Made, that Tom Cruise movie about the pilot. So I had that on as well. Then all of a sudden, at about 10 o'clock, about 9.30, 9.30, the power goes out. Everything shuts down. I'm sitting in the dark. Mia's sitting at my feet, going like, what the hell was that? But it wasn't the power in my apartment, it was the power in the street. Actually it was the power in the neighborhood because I looked online on my phone and it said, there's a power outage and like a thousand people affected. I'm like, shit, all right. So like I looked outside, all the street lights are gone. People are outside their houses in the street, like with torches, like on, is it me or is it everybody? It was, it was crazy. Everyone in my apartment is like sitting, standing outside being like, is it just me or you? It was a nightmare. And then I got a text message about half an hour after that saying, oh, by the way, there's a, there might be something that affects you, power outage. I'm like, yeah, no shit, mate. So that happened halfway through uploading half the videos for the preview. So that was, that's why they're a little bit late. They were late to her than I wanted. And then it said that the power wasn't going to come back on until seven o'clock the next day, which is in like two hours from now. My eyes are not great. I need to kind of need to, I'm going to be live and, you know, I've got something I got my work to do. But luckily, and also my phone, right. So my phone was on 20% battery and you can't really charge your phone without power. So that my phone, I was like, well, I hope my phone wakes me up and it doesn't die because that's my alarm. And man, it was, it was pretty touching guy. But then I went to bed at about 1030 p.m. woke up to all this random noise, all this buzzing at like midnight and everything came back. So I was like, thank God. So it's been a little bit of a weird, I think I've slept like on and off for like five hours. It's been, it's never, like when the internet dies or the power goes off, that's the only time we won't be streaming because I have no way of doing it. The only thing I need, I don't really care about anything else. Everything else I don't need, but this, oh man, you know, yeah, it's not fun. I need solar power for chargers. Solar generator for outages. Yeah, the problem is I rent my apartment. So it's hard to, I mean, I could, I guess I could set up on my balcony, a whole system, but now he's a little bit, a little bit sketchy for a little bit, but hey, power came back on. All is good. 15 all, as with a serve now from Mukava. She just almost had a chance to break there. As we had a serve down the T, nice. Bang, great serve down the T from Mukava. It's going to be a weapon she needs to use, 30, 15, 30, 15, heart skips a beat. Yeah, it's never fun. All right, 30, 15. Serve Mukava into the form of Rabakana. For now Mukava into the back of Rabakana, to the back and slice of Mukava into the drop shot of Rabakana. Rabakana just slices in the net. I mean, I think she was trying to hit a drop shot, but then changed her mind. And it went down to the ground. 45th to level things up here in the first, almost 20 minutes played. It's been a pretty long first couple of games. You get thrown back in the culinary age with no electricity. Yeah, it's a weird vibe when you don't have electricity, especially at night time. I think no electricity at night. Kind of just, it's like when you're sick and you want to be not sick because we had a drop shot winner. This is going to be on Venus TV, right? It's like when you get really, really sick, like you get the flu. And you kind of just like lying in bed going, ah, I missed the days when I didn't feel like shit. I was just sitting in the dark being like, man, we take electricity for an internet for granted. It just makes you appreciate things a little more when you're sitting in the dark and you can't even turn on the lights. All right, Tutu. As we deserve now, Rabakana. Now, why the four and all Mukava, four and our Rabakana, the back of Mukava sliced into the volley of Rabakana. That's a hell of a shot. Mukava gets it though. Rabakana runs back with a forehand. Mukava volleys puts it away. Wow, that's good running. She might be bandaged up but her legs are looking, they're looking all right. She's running fine. Love 15. Very nice hitting from both. I mean, Mukava with a great lunge to lob that over Rabakana and then the lovely drop volley. Love 15. Still no break points against Rabakana. We had 30 all in the last game though. Yeah, hello darkness, my old friends. That was playing in my head when I was sitting in the dark. As we had a double fault Rabakana. Love 30. Love 30. Rabakana's coach given her a little pep talk. Love 30. Serve dentees good. Return goes in. Forehand now from Rabakana is inside after a winner. Hell of a shot. 15-30. Set up with a serve. Both these ladies need that serve to hit aces on returnals but also to set up their forehand and back ends. Mukava looks the more likely to win at the moment. Yeah, but the thing is I'm worried if Mukava's going to be able to play over two hours. She's already played 10 hours in four matches. But how can she go another two, three hours when Rabakana hasn't played that long? Now Mukava has played three out of the four matches she's played have been three sets. Puttenseva, Trevisan, Vondrusova have all gone three sets. She's won the first set of every match though. She's won the first set 6-3 against Puttenseva. She won the first set in the tie-breaking in the Azarenka. She beat 6-4 in both Trevisan and Vondrusova matches. I mean if she loses the first set Mukava, how does she react to that? Especially like I said with the leg problem even though it doesn't look like a problem at the moment. 30-all. Another big point. Rabakana serves. That's a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Into the final of Mukava. Rabakana has a winner inside out. That's a hell of a shot. 40-30. Get back to lead here. I'll come to talk with you again exactly, Rosa. 40-30. But that's it. I look sometimes, it's nothing like feeling a little bit helpless. You know what I mean? When the light switched off and you just sit there for about 10 seconds and you're just like, well, nothing I can do now. Let's have a sit back and hope the power comes back on in type of streams. As we're going to find out from Rabakana into the final of Mukava. Mukava with a winner down the line. That's a hell of a shot. Dose. What a passing shot. Huge forehand. Mukava is very impressive at the moment. She's moving strong. As we're going to serve now from Rabakana. Serve. Into the net. Second serve. Second serve. Into the backhand of Rabakana. Rabakana into the backhand of Mukava. Into the forehand of Rabakana. Forehand of Rabakana again as Rabakana goes cross-court. Mukava with a slice. Mixing it up. Slice from Rabakana in the net. Rabakana is not, I guess, known for a finesse. You know, slice backhand, drop shots. That's not really, I mean, if you say Rabakana, you don't think, oh yeah, that drop shot is amazing. She's more of a big hitter. Does have an awkward slice. We've got a break point here. Advantage. Mukava. Rabakana's coach having a big chat. What do you think about Rabakana's coach chat? Is it, do you agree or disagree with the way he coaches? There's been a fine now inside out. That's a winner. See, that's what she does. Power. It doesn't really matter as long as Rabakana responds. I mean, he helped her win Wimbledon. So, must be doing something right. He's a cute guy. There you go. All right. Rabakana serving. Deuce. Server wide as an ace. Bang. Rabakana. Advantage. He's just chatting. What's going on? Dawn, how you doing? He's annoying. Talks too much. I agree with his style. I would be annoyed on her place. Yeah. It's not for everybody. But different players deal with, you know, respond to different styles. You know, every coach has their style. Every player has their, you know, the way they like to be coached. Not every player can take all our criticism. As that goes down the line from Malkova on the return. That's a winner. And we're back to Deuce. You know, some players want to be more nurtured, want to be more encouraged. Some players respond better to direct criticism. And look, they wouldn't be working together for this long if Rabakana didn't agree with how he was coaching. So, and it's weird because Rabakana is so relaxed. Having a coach that's a little more animated. I mean, it clearly works. It might be the perfect combination. She double folds. And it's advantage. Malkova. Another double fold here for Rabakana. That's a coach. We just did a camera on her coach the entire time because he's just like this. Oh, double fold. That's horrible. And they're just having the net. He's just like, oh, I didn't teach her that. Don't blame me on that one. That was her fault. Advantage, Malkova. Second serve. Second serve in the back and Malkova. Good return to the front of Rabakana. Back in Malkova. Goes in. Rabakana forehand. Crosscourt's good. Malkova slices it back. Back in out from Rabakana. That's a good shot. Malkova with a lob. Rabakana comes in with a swinging volley. Forehand winner. That's a great shot. Lovely from Rabakana. We're back to Deuce. And the coach is just like this. He's not impressed. He's like, whatever. And I've told you guys a story before of one of my coaches as a kid. I would say he was more brutal than Rabakana's coach. But I loved it. I loved it. I wouldn't coach that way. It's not my style. But I loved the way he coached me. I was so much better of a player because of the way he coached. And so many kids hated him. Look, he was awesome. Dean was great. There's been a four in the net from Rabakana and it's Advantage Malkova. And look, when you're the son of a grand slam winning coach, I think you can be a little more critical of players because you probably know how to win slams and most of the kids who went to him were trying to do something special. So Advantage Malkova. As we just served now the four on Rabakana. Rabakana, Rabakana. Into the back of Malkova. Rabakana running with a slice in the net. Malkova breaks. Malkova takes the first break. Three, two. Am I calm or animated when playing? I'm pretty calm. I don't get emotional and like angry. I'm very, like, relaxed. But I'm also like, you know, well, back in, and I'm not now because I don't really give a shit, but back when I was playing at a high level, that was, you know, it was more intense. And Leighton was my favorite. So I didn't mind a little bit of a fist pump. Three, two, by the way. No, my coach wasn't Leighton who was dad. So you would not like Mevedev. What do you mean not like Mevedev? Rabakana is playing terrible. Too many double faults. His serve isn't working great. Not getting enough first serves in Malkova, but Rabakana is only at 50% as well. Rabakana's coach is the anti-Moritoglu. No, Moritoglu, I think is, Moritoglu is in the middle, I think. I think he is, he is encouraging, but he's also, he also is, I guess, strict when he needs to be. Like, if you go watch some Moritoglu interviews, when he first met Serena Williams, right, he said, okay, let's go to practice courts. And she walked out, she was on her phone, she kind of ignored him. Like, he was just like, oh, whoever, you're the coach, I'm the star. And he, I think he like, he like slapped the table next to her chair and was like, hey, you know, if you're going to be here, you need to be here on time, you need to respect me, I'm the coach, this is my court, and kind of like, you know, snapped her into it. Because that's what Serena needed. She needed, you know, someone to almost stand up to her because she was, you know, a superstar. She, you know, did all those things, you know, didn't need, Moritoglu was like, I'm going to, you know, I'm the coach, you know, you got to talk to me. You know, I'm not just another one of your employees, but I also think he's pretty, you know, I think Moritoglu is kind of the 50-50, but then he got coaches like, you know, like, I mean, Zachary's coach is very encouraging, I would say. She yells and screams at him, and he kind of just, you know, smiles and, you know, doesn't, he doesn't, Tom Hill and then Rebecca and his coach, Stefan, a total opposite. I feel like they're the other, and then Patrick Moritoglu's in the middle. I love 15, look at it with a terrible volley. Medvedev's coach? Yeah, Medvedev's coach is sort of in the middle too. Like, he's encouraging, but he's also not going to take shit, and he's going to leave if he feels disrespected. You know, you can't be a doormat as a coach, you know. Otherwise, the player's not going to respect you when you start giving them something to, you know, to work on. All right, love 15. That's what a serve done. See, that's a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Love 15. That's what a serve down the backhand of Rybakina Foyna Mukava. Into the backhand of Rybakina. Again, the Foyna Mukava. Backhand now Rybakina goes out. Another error from the Wimbledon champ. 15-0. Who will win? I want to bet. I mean, I don't know. I feel like if it goes long, it's probably going to be Mukava, right? I mean, Rybakina, right? Please don't post scores in the chat or spam, because Dawn will get you. Two of the cardinal sins of the chat. Spam? Betting. Not betting. Betting's fine. Jeez, can you imagine? And putting the scores in and spam. They're the two things that we just... This ain't going to fly. 15-30. Now, 15-30. Well, I thank you so much, everybody. We've got over a thousand people here. That's freaking crazy. Thank you so much. Don't forget to like the video. 15-30. Now, as Mukava serves, it's been a... not a great start from either lady, but Mukava's taken advantage of the errors of Rybakina. 30-0. Good serve. 30-0. 30-0. Big serve coming up here, Mukava. Has it been the points that have been the difference so far? Is it a find-a-find rally? Again, from Mukava. Rybakina again hitting it out. 40-30. Rybakina just gives a look at the coach going, why am I not hitting anything in right now? Mukava, 40-30. How about a good sleep? Hey, any... I slept enough. All right, Rybakina's coach very animated. He's looking at Hawkeye going, really? The pinker was right. Why is she hitting everything out? I think she's just a little bit too aggressive. So, the serve doesn't see the form of Rybakina. Rybakina Mukava? Oh, no, it's wide. That was close. All right, Deuce. I think... Because both these ladies want to be controlling the baseline. So, I think Rybakina's game as well, you know, she doesn't want to run. She wants to stand there and win. She doesn't want to defend. It's not her style. But she is just over-hitting. Everyone's lucky that Dutchy's not a mod. You'd send everyone to the moon. Everyone to Mars. Dutchy would be a savage. All right, Deuce. As Mukava serves, trying to console out at this break, serve out wide the fine of Rybakina, fine of Mukava. Into the back of Rybakina, Mukava with a lovely volley. That's been a big difference too. Mukava's ability to come to the net. Advantage Mukava to get the game and hold on to this break. She's fiontech taken on Kostya. Coming up next. That's going to be a real fun one. Advantage Mukava. Mukava not intimidated. She's getting a lot of free points though. Rybakina's coach very animated. That's going to serve out wide the back of Rybakina. That goes in the net on the return, 4-2. Mukava does consolidate. The break, 33 minutes played. Kostya versus Rybakina, semi-rekin. Okay. I'm extremely savage today, Cam. Bad news in Birmingham, Canada. What was the bad news, Duchy? All right, Rybakina to serve, 4-2. 4-2 and again. Again, we just got to get a camera on Rybakina's coach the entire time. I just want to see his reactions to every single point. He is so fun. Anyway, that's fine. Now goes down across court. And oh, Mukava. A little bit of a slip, but she's okay. These courts have been a little slippery. We saw Medvedev do a face plant yesterday or like he did a nosedive. We saw Elkres had a slip a couple of days ago. Who else slipped over? A Tiafo slipped over yesterday, right? Serve it to the back end of Mukava. Back end of Rybakina. Into the back end of Mukava. Oh, it just goes wide. She went down the line. 30 love. Just hits it wide. 30 love. As we just serve again from Rybakina. Now while the former Mukava could serve, back end is even better from Rybakina. 40 love. This is the best game she's had all day. 40 love. It's a pretty slick court. Yeah, it's weird because there's a slow court, but it seems to be a little slippery. Now, if all the players were wearing the same shoes that were slipping over, you would say it was a shoes problem. But Tiafo's with Nike. Mukava's with Adidas. And Mehdi's with Lacoste. So with Asics, I think, right? The shoes. So no... You can't play in the shoe. It must be the court. 40 love. Second serve. Double fold again from Rybakina. Man, that serve is just not it today. 40, 15. We'll serve now from Rybakina. Now Mehdi, does Mehdi have Lacoste? I don't think Lacoste is a tennis... I don't know if they sell shoes, but I don't think they're a shoe brand. I think he uses Asics, right? Because Djokovic is Lacoste with Asics. And Rybakina goes in from Mukava and returned from Rybakina out by a mile. 40, 30. Yeah, Lacoste have like fancy shoes. They don't... I mean, they've got sports shoes, but you wouldn't wear them playing tennis. At least, you know, maybe on a grass court if you want to look fancy. 40, 30. As we get a fold from Rybakina again. Remember, she's got 40 love. Second serve. Oh, my God. Wow. Double fold again. Now, could be two things, three things, right? That could be the problem with Rybakina's serve. First thing, her back hurts. When you got a sore back, serving sucks. Second thing, maybe she's just having a bad day on serve. Maybe she's just not serving very well. And the... Sorry, the second thing. And the third thing, she's scared of Mukava's returns, which might... It might be a combination of all three, but Mukava's got a good return. She's aggressive. So she wants to hit the first serve. Sorry, she hit the second serve a little too hard. Trying to push Mukava back. All right, second serve Rybakina. In the back of Mukava, good return of Rybakina. And that's why, because Rybakina hits it in the net, Mukava attacking the second serve. So one way to try and combat that is trying to hit big second serves, but you also hit a lot of double faults that way. All right, vanished Mukava from 40 love. Enjoying the streams. No worries. Simon appreciate it. Many wears the cost shoes. That's crazy. He must be the only one. As we return now, the find of Rybakina. Rybakina Mukava sliced into the form of Rybakina. Again, to the form of Mukava. As Rybakina hits a backhand, cross court Mukava can't get it. That's a huge backhand. Mukava though still running a lot. That's a good sign. Like I said, for Mukava, but man, Rybakina have to pull out all the good shots. Back to Deuce. As Mukava breathing a little heavy there. Let's see if, like I said, the longer this match goes, I feel like Rybakina will like her chances. We're going to find now down the line from Rybakina. That's a huge winner again. Unbelievable. Couple of good winners there from the Wimbledon champ. Advantage Rybakina. So yeah, so Medvedev does wear the cost shoes. That is crazy. Who else wears the cost shoes? Who else wears the cost shoes? I for sure thought he was like Djokovic. So Enduha wears the cost shoes. Barare wears the cost shoes. As we had a fault, second serve. Umber also wears the cost shoes. As we return now from Mukava, that goes out. Okay, Rybakina survives. There's only one breaker served now. Four, three. Kudla also wears the cost shoes. Medvedev. Man, that's crazy. All right, questions. Medvedev coming up in a couple of days, by the way. And thank you everybody for liking the video as well. Thank you for after that. Hopefully you enjoyed the preview videos we put out as well. Probably you can check out the three quarterfinal videos we've got coming up. But yeah, Rybakina is beautiful. I won't talk about her like that. Okay. No idea what's going on. Elena, you are the queen of tennis legend says Steve. There you go. Come on, ER. We need the over. Hey, what's going on, Lemberto? How you doing? What I think of Petra doing sacri things against sacri. Um, I mean, she was double folding the entire night. So it caught up with her in the end. But sacri, you got, you got to respect sacri for the comeback. You know, you got to respect it for the comeback. Uh, many used to wear Nike shoes. Okay. It was just one time I bought Alligator Cologne. That's a, cool. Seems like Cam's ignoring me. Uh, nope. Don't take a personal. I read chat. I, I skip over a lot of chat that doesn't seem to be referring to tennis. Like Pseudo, who just randomly says words at some times. Or Greggs, who was talking to somebody else about something else. All right. The cost has quality shoes. They do have quality shoes, but I just, I mean, yeah, just didn't, like I wouldn't think, I mean, then not the first person you think for tennis shoes. And I've been on their website and they've got very nice shoes, but I, I mean, it's more of like to go to a party, you know, 15 love is, uh, that goes out from Rebecca and again, too many errors. 15 love. I mean, who are the three? The three, well, give me, give me a, when you think tennis shoes, what's the first thing? Who's the first brand to think of? As that goes out on the return, we're back in a 30 love. What is the first brand? I mean, I've got the three top ones for me that everyone goes to. Right? Adidas, Nike and ASICs. Yeah. They're the big three, I think. 30 love is going to serve down a line. That's a fault. Second serve. 30 love. Yeah. They're the big three. And let everyone say in those names. So yeah, those three, new balance. I wouldn't say they're not the first to come to mind. They're probably the most stylish though. Double fault mukama. 30, 15. Puma. Yeah. Not Puma. I think Puma is more of a, of a football, football shoe. Reebok. Does Reebok even do it? Converse for tennis. That'd be super uncomfortable. If we start bleeding. 30, 15. Serving the back end of Reebok. And a back end mukara in the net. 30 all. Okay. Here's the chance. Here is a chance. 30 all. If Puma is, yeah, isn't Puma like a football brand? K-Swiss. Yeah. K-Swiss, I guess. Timbaland. If you're wearing Timbalands while you play tennis, you are a savage because that is like wearing lead boots. It's crazy. And Katie was heavy on as you're going to, I don't know what's going to happen with that. That's crazy. Anyways, that goes out. Has anyone ever played tennis with no shoes? You're just asking for blisters if you do that. I mean, that's brutal. Especially on a hard court. 30, 40. Yeah, Fila also has some, yeah, Fila probably up there as well with shoes too. You know? Okay. Break point. We're backing it. Get back in this set. 30, 40. There's Mukabab. She can't, she's just, had to chase that one. All right, serve Mukabab into the front of Rabakina. Return goes long from Rabakina. And it's deuce. How about wearing Ugg boots? Yeah, I mean, you could try as Mukabab serves a fault. Second serve. Second serve Mukabab into the back end of Rabakina. And that's a huge return winner. Just smacked it back. Advantage Rabakina. Huge return. To get back this break. I wear five, five finger shoes for training. Are they like the ones that like, almost feel like you're not wearing shoes? Are they good? Serve Dantee. Rabakina returns. Four now from Mukabab as a winner. Huge forehand in the open court. Back to deuce. Back to deuce. All right. Huge forehand. That's a massive shot. Rabakina's this close to getting back on serve here but Mukabab is holding strong. The serves coming to the rescue. Serve into the front of Rabakina. Rabakina slaps it long again. First serve coming to the rescue. Advantage Mukabab. Advantage Mukabab. To get to 5-3 and make Rabakina serve the stay in the set. There's a bit of serve from Mukabab. Our wide good serve. Rabakina hits a return but it goes wide 5-3 Mukabab. Can dee ever sleep? I love the dedication. Marvin, thank you for the nice words. No. I do not sleep. I nap. I nap between matches. 5-3. Mukabab just stretching out the arms a little bit. She has played a lot of tennis this week. Is this match slow? I mean it's close. I wouldn't call it slow. Let's say it's close. Competitive. 5-3. Second serve coming up. Mukabab on the attack. Double fold and again, Rabakina is double folding more than I think we've seen her do for the entire year. How many double folds has she been hitting this week? Not that many. I think she hit 11 for the week. She already hit 4. Not a great start. Again, she's worried about the returning of Mukabab. Is it a serve now to find out Mukabab? The following goes long. 15-0. What is sleep? Exactly. Debs, what is sleep? 15-0. Serve down the tee the back end of Mukabab. It's a let from Rabakina. I'm really struggling. I thought it'd be over by now. Wait, what? And Birdo, come on now. You really thought this match was going to be over in 48 minutes? It's crazy. It's called to too slow. Serve out wide down the tee. Sorry, the back end of Mukabab for now, Rabakina. Mukabab hits a wide 30-15. What's the sound that says when they double fold? CJ, it's as very of quote because Sasha Zverev is the king of double folds. In an interview a couple years ago I said when they were talking about who do you think will be a Grand Slam champion in the future and all these kind of questions he's like, I'll put myself in there. Every time we get a double fold we play that sound because Zverev is always putting himself in the double folds in the double fold hitters. So that's why he's the king. He is the poster boy of double folds. 40-15. Nice serving hand combination from Rabakina. So with every double fold Zverev gets his wings. What was that quote the seller said last week? With every Andy Murray win a ball kid gets its wings or something weird. It was random as hell. Who said, what was that? Someone wouldn't remember. Remember when somebody said that it was funny as hell? Back at a back end rally Mukabah slicing to the slice of Rabakina. She comes to the net and Mukabah with a pass but Rabakina hits a back end winner. And Mukabah is going to have to serve this set out. 5-4. Mukabah. Rabakina hangs on though. Alright. Hey. Ola at Tadduz. Saludos Destela Trinchera. This is a great channel with a great guy like Cam. Greetings from Argentina. Hey, what's going on BA tennis? How you doing? That's so nice of you to donate.

This family it's like I don't want to say we're like mafia but the Tennis Talk family B.A. Tennis family are very what is two big crime families in the mafia family? The B.A. Tennis mafia and the Tennis mafia families we get along. We're very friendly and they're very they're very good guys too. And they put out so much content. Also, if you speak if you don't speak Spanish, what you can do a little trick is actually you can put on the captions and YouTube will translate it for you in English. The captions so you can actually put the subtitles on not on the live streams because I don't think YouTube have the feature yet so you can still watch their content even if you don't speak Spanish you can get the subtitles as we return there from Rebecca huge huge return 15.0 huge return winner 15.0 Rebecca has had four break points but she hasn't broken yet serve Mukova into the form of Rebecca Mukova volleys serve volley but the volley goes in the net 15.30 15.30 yeah done it is we are the tennis talkbuff and they are Spanish the mob the mob's is over a BA tennis so the BA stands I think it spans for the stand for Buenos Aires tennis and BA tennis you guys are plenty good you guys are awesome I wouldn't recommend you if you weren't 15.30 great Big love for Big Love for B.A. Tennis. All right, Mookova trying to get this first set here. 15-30, she serves the back and her, man, her back and her just slaps it out. Another error. Find out the errors after this set, 30, oh! Also, do we have any doubles action or anything happening else? The Challenger event in Phoenix is underway again. It was raining yesterday, so they're back underway. No other match is happening here as Mookova serves, 30-all. There you go, stands for Buenos Aires, there you go. First serves a fault. Second serve, this is the chance for Rabakana. Here is the chance. 30-all, can she make the return? Nope, because it's the double fault. Even easier. Just get the free point, 30-40. Mookova, another break point to save. Oh, Dutchie, that's so sad. Hopefully everyone's all right. That's sad, sad to hear that news. Never a good, never good to hear that kind of stuff. As we return now, there's a fault for Mookova's second serve. All right, second serve. Big chance for Rabakana to get back on serve, break back. Second serve, Mookova. Into the back and her, Rabakana, for now, Mookova. Again to the front of Rabakana on the stretch. Mookova with a half volley drop shot, not good enough. Rabakana is dead with a slice. Oh, hit the tape went in and Mookova puts it away. Oh, Rabakana had the shot. It hit the tape. It was gonna be a winner, but it hit the tape and just sat up and Mookova just went, oh, thank you. That's so unlucky for Rabakana. Because Mookova just hitting a half volley. That was a terrible shot. And Mookova just stood there at the net and watched the ball, it hit the tape and she's like, oh, I've got a chance here. This close. Rabakana was this close to winning that game. She still could, but that was this much higher over the net would have been a winner. Serve out wide, the find of Rabakana, find out from Mookova into the back of Rabakana. That goes long. Mookova's got a set point. Advantage Mookova to get the first set. But really, the difference between six, four and five all was this much. Just a little higher over the net with that backhand and she would have been on serve. Can Mookova win the set? She still might get a chance to back in her if she can survive here. Serve out wide, good serve. And a smash, oh, it's out from Mookova. What was that? She was, I don't think she read the smash at all. She liked her serve too much. Back to Deuce, that was a weird smash. She kind of got under it and then like, that was weird. All right. Back to Deuce, big chance for Rabakana now. By the way, Rabakana take the tape off her shoulders. To serve out wide, the find of Rabakana, find out Mookova down the middle, Rabakana back in the rally with the backhand. Slice Mookova into the slice of Rabakana. To the find of Mookova, again to the backhand of Rabakana. Mookova with a forehand cross court, Rabakana gets it. Find a forehand, as Mookova slices it down the line into the backhand of Rabakana, to the backhand of Mookova. Half volley from Rabakana is good. Mookova with a pass, Rabakana volleys. Mookova runs, backhand goes wide. Rabakana's got a break back point. Good volley, good hitting from Rabakana with the net. The half volley was good and Rabakana is not great at the net. I think we can all agree, but she's learning. You know, she's playing with doubles, trying to get better at the net. She was solid enough on that point. Advantage to get back the break. Serve is a fault. Second serve Mookova, big chance now. Second serve, second serve into the backhand of Rabakana. Backhand Mookova down the line into the front of Rabakana, into the front of Mookova. Hit the tape, goes over to the backhand of Rabakana, another slice from Mookova, into the backhand Rabakana and Mookova back into backhand. As Mookova hits a slice, down the middle, into the front to Rabakana. Backhand as Mookovova slices it down the line in the front of Rabakana, Mookova down the line and Rabakana is on the stretch. Mookova comes in at the forehand. Rabakana with a pass, Mookova volley in the net. Five all! We're back on serve, and Rabakine is taking the table for back. Rabakine's coach is having a panic attack. He's just like, Jesus. Okay, five-five. Rabakine gets the break. That backhand that she hit in the net doesn't matter anymore. Didn't matter. All right, five-five. By the way, we are so close to 127,000 subs. So thank you so much, everybody. For that, that's a huge number. Appreciate every one of you. Crazy. All right, five-five. Also almost at 400 likes as well. Thank you for that. This match is getting interesting now. Five-five is with a serve now, Rabakine. Into the corner, Mukava. Back and out, Rabakine. Into the corner, Mukava. Again, to the corner, Rabakine. Mukava on the stretch. Goes down the line and wide. 15-love. The ice queen for a reason. Yep. 15-love. Epic match. For sure. Hell of a match. 15-love. As we to serve. Into the net from Rabakina. Now both ladies are struggling on their first serve. Go to the tie break. It's gonna be very interesting as we have a let on the second serve for Rabakina. Second serve again. Such a good match. It's only one. We've played an hour already. I mean, it doesn't feel like an hour, but it's been so competitive. As that goes in the net from Mukava. 30-love. This is what we didn't get yesterday. Now yesterday, the first sets of each match were kind of basic, really. I mean, even the three setter we saw with Sakurai. Kovitava was pretty much in control until the second set. And then that got interesting. And then the last set was kind of sort of just a mid-set, like a mid-match kind of competitiveness. But the first and third sets were sort of one-sided. And then every other quarter-final yesterday. So we're starting off with a big, with a very competitive set here. As that goes out from Mukava, another good backhand from Rabakina. 40-love. 40-love as Rabakina looks to get the lead for the first time in a long time. 40-love. Serve is a fault from Rabakina. Second serve. Second serve into the backhand of Mukava. Four now from Rabakina. Goes down the line of the backhand slice of Mukava. Mukava in the net. Six-five. Rabakina in front. She's been fighting pretty much from the start. Now she's in the lead. Mukava's gonna have to serve to get to the tie break. Mukava's finished now. I wouldn't count her out just yet. Yeah, we're almost at 127K. So chat, this is the part of the show where I ask you where you're from because I'm sure there's a lot of people from Europe because probably not that late. What's the time in Europe? Not that late, right? Probably a lot of Americans in the chat as well. A lot of Californians. We see if you get a lot of Californians in the chat being the California Tournament. But where are you watching from? Let us know in the chat and I will try and read it because the chat will go in crazy in three, two, one. All right, we've got California, we've got Israel, we've got Ecuador, India, Bangladesh, Sweden, USA, New York City, Moscow, we've got Poland, we've got America, the Northern one, okay? We've got Canada, we've got the UK. We've got a lot of people from India in the chat. Hey, what's up? We've got people from Ecuador. We've got Mexico, Vancouver in the chat, Pakistan, Warsaw, Louisville, Chicago, Poland, Philippines, South Africa, Romania, waiting for Castella, Bolzano, we're gonna be watching that next. That's gonna be a hell of a lot of fun. Spain, Mongolia, France, Jamaica, Melbourne, hey, it's early in Melbourne, what's up? Texas, we've got, what else we got? We've got someone pretending like they're in North Korea, that's a good joke. We have never heard that one, that's a good one. Latvia, we've also got more people from France. We've got Oregon, love that, Chicago in the house, Alberta as well, Nigeria, the moon, Oman in the house as well, Brazil, Italy, Yugoslavia, cool. Okay, Amsterdam as well, Tunisia, Kazakhstan, love that, Europa. Specific Minneapolis, just lurking. All right, let's see what Mukava can do. We need a tie break, right? Come on, this set deserves a tie break. Is it a four line that goes out from Rabacchina and it's 15 love? Round the world in 80 text, yeah. New Zealand in the house as well, there you go, Greece, Thailand. Love that, Cayman Islands, there you go. All right, 15 love, over an hour played in this one. As we're served now from Mukava. Into the back end of Rabacchina. Back in our Mukava, down the line is good. Rabacchina with a lob, Mukava with a smash. Puts it away, 30 love. Romania in the house, Iraq, Barbados. Man, it keeps going, love that. Do a poll for all the countries. I don't think there's enough spots for the poll. All right, 30 love. Mukava to get to this tie break. She had a set point serving with the set in the last game. As we're to serve now. Down the tee, the back end of Rabacchina. Back in our Mukava. Into the back end of Rabacchina. Into the corner, Mukava. Again to the back end of Rabacchina. Mukava with a back end, no. She can't get that one, Rabacchina, too strong. 30, 15. Tennis talk international, that's it. We've got tribes all around the world. Tennis talk fam. Tennis talk mafia is strong. She's gonna say we've got gangs all around the world. That sounds a little bit intense, but we've got members all around the world. 30, 15. A little slice there from Mukava to the back end of Rabacchina. Both ladies going down the middle. No one wants to go for a winner. They've both been scared as we had a four now. That's good from Rabacchina. Now a back end cross court. Mukava on the stretch goes wide. 30 all. 30 all. To steal the set. Because Rabacchina's been out of this set for the entire time until the last couple of games. She has been, I wouldn't say worse, but Mukava's been better. Which makes her worse by default. But hey, you know, whatever. 30 all. Mukava under pressure. Big pressure. Serve. Is a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Mukava taking the time. Second serve in the back end of Rabacchina. Good return in the back end of Mukava. Rabacchina using all the forehand and that's a massive forehand winner. Now we've got a set point for Rabacchina. 30, 40. Wow. Now they're working. Now everything's going in. All right, let's see. Can Rabacchina take the set? 30, 40. Mukava serves. Needs the first serve. Mukava with a serve. Out wide the back end of Rabacchina in the net. Rabacchina in the net. Deuce. Man, huge serve from Mukava. Needed that one. Both ladies have had set points now. All right, nothing really Rabacchina could do there. Mukava hit a good serve. Deuce has been a serve. Now wide the forehand of Rabacchina. Good return to the forehand of Mukava. That's a great shot down the line from Mukava. That first serve comes to the rescue. Now it's a game point to get to the tie break. Advantage Mukava. And it deserves a tie break. They've just been too, it's been too solid. Or been too, what's the word? Even. Mukava serves. Now wide the back end of Rabacchina. Good return to the forehand of Mukava. Rabacchina with a backhand goes out tie break. Who's going to win the tie break and what's the score going to be? You tell me. Who's going to win the tie break? I mean, look, it really could go either way. Both players, both players have had their chances. Both players have had their errors. But who's going to take it? You tell me. I'm going to go with, I feel like, I feel like Rabacchina is more reliable. You tell me, Rabacchina gets the first point, one, zero. On the serve. All right, a lot of people going with Rabacchina. A few Mukavas in there. By the way, in this year, four tie breaks and zero loss, four wins, zero loss of tie break. Let's start again. Tie break record for this year. Four wins, four losses for Mukava. So 50-50. Rabacchina hasn't lost a tie break all year. Four wins, zero losses in tie breaks. Does that make sense? That hopefully, that made sense. It's all right, I just tripped over my tongue. Let's put it back in my mouth. One-one. As Mukava serves, Mukava serves. How wide are the four-hand of Rabacchina? Rabacchina on the net. Good serving from Mukava. I reckon it's going to be, it's going to be who double faults will lose the set. If there's one double fault, if it's one old in the double faults, and it's, you know, whatever, but whoever wins, whoever double faults will lose this set. If there's more double faults from Mukava, then she'll lose. If it's more Rabacchina, she'll lose, because that's been something that's been a problem. Let's see, if the double fault determines this tie break, is we're serving the net from Rabacchina, second serve. Second serve, Rabacchina has been returned out. Good from Mukava, Rabacchina, oh, Rabacchina! Rabacchina with a pass down the line as Mukava approached, two-oh. Huge forehand, Mukava just kind of stuck in the middle. She hit a backhand and was like, oh, I might come in here. And Rabacchina's like, no, you're in the wrong spot. Yeah, Mukava just had no chance on that one. Two-two, huge from Rabacchina. There's a bit of serve. That's a fault, second serve. Second serve, down the middle to the forehand of Mukava. Good return of the backhand of Rabacchina. Backhand of Mukava, down the line, Rabacchina with a forehand, that goes in with a volley from Mukava. Oh, that was strong. Huge backhand volley, three-two Mukava, three-two Mukava. That's a huge backhand volley. Rabacchina versus Sabalenka incoming from the final, you reckon? There's a lot of plays in the way. I mean, look, Zachary ain't gonna allow that and Silesh Fjontek has something to say. Mukava isn't even done in this match. All right, three-two, lovely volley. That was a very nice volley, strong. It was a strong volley. Three-two, Mukava serves a fault. Second serve, that's gonna be the, well, Mukava's actually improved at first serve percentage. That's interesting. Last couple of games was around the 50s. As we to serve into the backhand of Rabacchina. Oh, Rabacchina smacks that away. That's why we've had so many double faults because of that return, it's so scary. All right, three-three, they change ends. All right, who's gonna take the side break? We've had a set point either way, remember that. One set point either way. Three-three, Zachary has absolutely no chance against Sabalenka. All right, three-all. We're back in a keep calm and you can own it. Can's pulling for you, Elena. Not really. As we to serve, Mukava into the front of Rabacchina. Good return of the backhand of Mukava. Backhand of Rabacchina on the stretch goes wide. It's four-three, Mukava. Who am I supporting? Whoever hits a winner. Whoever hits a winner, I'll get excited over. All right, four-three, Mukava with the lead. By the way, formula one start this weekend. Is it on this weekend? Who was it next week? Four-three, remember. No double faults yet in this tie break as we to serve into the net from Rabacchina. Second serve, second serve. That goes in. Mukava with the backhand into the backhand of Rabacchina. Oh, what a shot down the line from Rabacchina. Rabacchina's hitting more winners in this tie break. She's just smacking down the line. Huge backhand. Four-four. All right, four-all. Getting serious now, remember. It's first to seven in the tie break. If you're maybe unfamiliar with that, you're gonna win seven points and all win by two. So it can't be seven, six. That has to be eight, six. If you get to six-all or you get to six-all. As that goes to the sky from Mukava and Rabacchina comes in with a smash and puts that away. Five-four. Mukava serving, Rabacchina in front. On serve though. So yeah, first to seven. But if it is six-all, you have to win by two. So sometimes we get, you know, 10-eight. Sometimes we get 14-12. It gets a little, can get a little crazy. Five-four. Mukava serves. Mukava with the serve. That's out why the backhand of Rabacchina. Four-and-a-Mukava is good. Rabacchina with the lob. Mukava's got a smash from the baseline, but it's a forehand instead, but she hits it out, man. Mukava just was in two mines. She was going to go for the smash and then she went, no, I better hit a forehand and she completely fluffed it. All right, two more set points. Six-four Rabacchina to take the first set, but it's on Mukava's serve. And by the way, so far no double faults in this tie break, which is actually kind of interesting. Double faults are flowing through the set. Mukava serves a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Sorry, Chad. I didn't mean it. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it. It wasn't a thing. I didn't stop. I'm so sorry, but was I wrong? But I'm sorry, but was I wrong? But I'm sorry. Anyway, seven-six. I didn't, but was I wrong? All right, seven-six. What do I say? Anyways, there's no such thing. Okay. It's not a curse shop. All right, they're going to, Rabacchina's going to the bathroom. Rabacchina's going to the bathroom. But I did save. All right, not a pretty set, but Rabacchina just was a little more aggressive in the tie break. Double fold aside, Rabacchina was more aggressive in the tie break. She was a little more risky. She went for the win and she won the points. Mukubah played maybe a little safe. All right, there's no such thing as a curse. Shut up. That was not my fault. It's not my fault. I didn't make a double fold. I didn't double fold for her. Come on. All right, Rabacchina still has yet to drop a set this tournament. Hey, Billy Bob, that is a great stat. Back to the NCAA, no worries, BJ Keeper's updated. You're our college basketball correspondent for the day. Whether you like it or not, you've got to keep us updated, especially if Duke are winning, because that's my team. So Rabacchina, by the way, Mukubah has not lost the first set this week. So she's won every first set this week. First time she's going to have to fight from a set down for the week. And yeah, Rabacchina straight sets Kenan, straight sets Bedosa, straight sets Gracheva. And now this set. So she has not lost a set. You are right. She did not play two tie breaks against Sophia Kenan though. That was great to see Kenan play that competitive, but yeah. Also Mukubah has only actually lost the first set once this year. How crazy is that Chad? Only once. It was a tiebreaker as well. And she lost. It was a straight sets lost to Massarova in Auckland. So she has not come back from a set down this year. She's only actually been down a set once. This is the second time for the year. And Rabacchina, when she wins the first set, has won 12 out of 15 matches. She's only lost three matches from a set up. One of those was against Kostruc, one against Sabalenka in the Australian Open Final, and then against Hadajmaia back in Abu Dhabi a few weeks back. So odds are that Rabacchina takes this out. All right, pickle juice for Mukubah. Well, yeah, that's something else I said, you know, sort of at the start. Will, can Mukubah play for another, like look, an hour and a half, that's, I mean, an hour and 20 minutes, that's a long first set. Is Mukubah gonna be able to last two more sets? Cause she has to now. You know what I mean? That's, it's gonna be tough. Could have been six, four Mukubah, and it was six, seven Rabacchina. Yeah, that, one set point, one set point for Mukubah. Rabacchina's in the bathroom, that's what we're waiting for. Pleasant surprise to see Kenan in such good form. Yeah, it was great. It was great to see Kenan push a top 10 player again. Let's hope she can get their, well, get back up the top. Love watching severe Kenan. When is Fiontech playing? Fiontech is playing after this. So once this match is done, we're gonna be flying over to Fiontech as well. That's gonna be a fun match. I think, I think it's day I might, actually I'm gonna get your vibe chat before I give my opinion. Do you think that Castello will win more or less games than Rotter Canu? What's Rabacchina's level this week? She's been coming back from a back injury. So her level's been, she's won every set, but as good as Kenan played against Rabacchina the other in the first round, maybe they're little nerves from Rabacchina with the injury. She beat Bodosa easily, and then she demolished Gracheva. I mean, that was just not even close. Formule ones this weekend, nice. Love that. Long day of tennis to come, yep. We've got every match covered for you. So grab a coffee, we're gonna be doing every match. Like we did yesterday and from the quarterfinal onwards for every event. Even if Mukubi gets back here and we watch Castello Mukubi tomorrow, we'll be watching it. What Castello playing style? Who would she be like Chad? She is, she is an aggressive baseliner. Like that's her preferred game, but she does have good defense. She's got a decent serve. Not sure what her volleys are like. She plays like Cornet. Yeah, but like I'm trying to think of who's in the top. She's not as defensive as, yeah solid baseliner for sure, but not as defensive as Cornet. She can play defense, but let me check. She's kind of plays like, what's the, I mean, Rotu Kano? Is that a good comparison? I guess. She kind of has the defensive abilities, but she prefers to be aggressive on the baseline. And you've never heard of Castello? No, we'll stick around. 30 love here, Mukubi, serving first in the second. She plays like Pagula. I would say she's a more aggressive Pagula. A more aggressive, like Halep, a more aggressive Halep, but she can play, she's good defense. But yeah, more aggressive, I would say. 40 love, 40 love as Mukubi tries to win the first game of the second. No, not as, not like Sabalenka. A little less aggressive as Sabalenka. Oh yeah, that's a tough one. She plays like Tommy Paul. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I guess. I was trying to make, I was trying to go for apples for apples, but okay, Mukubi first game, one love. Who's it, I'm trying to think. I mean, kind of like Zachary. Maybe, maybe a little less athletic than Zachary. Like everyone's, who isn't, right? Yeah. Yeah, she's a, look, she's a solid, she's a very solid player. All right, in that set, let's talk about Unforced Harris because that was an ugly, ugly set. A lot of double faults, we know that. The match, the set finished on a double fault. But Rabakiner actually hit a lot of winners towards the end of that set. 24 winners, 12 Unforced Harris. A lot of winners from Rabakiner coming in late in that set. 12 winners, 12 errors from Mukubi. Double faults were the worst part of this, were the worst part of the set. All right, one love, Mukubi. As we're served now from Rabakiner. That's a lead on the second serve. Kudamatova might be a good comparison. Castello, kind of like Kudamatova, except with a, not as big of a serve as we had a double fault speaking of. Got my salt in there. That's a love 15 Mukubi. Sviantech is sick from what, winning? She's allergic to losing. But yeah, I mean, all of those things considered. She, Sviantech should beat Castello. They did play last year at the Shrine Open, but that was not the same person. Sviantech is a different player to that. Let's be honest. As we're returning the net from Mukubi, 15 all. Kudamatova has a really good serve. But I think the ground stroke game of a Kudamatova. Be competitive. It should be competitive. All right, 15 all. Mukubi played three hours at this level. That's what I'm skeptical about. Cause she has played already 10 hours. As we're backhand slice there from Mukubi, into the backhand slice, Rabakiner, and Rabakiner slices it wide. And it's 30, 15, 30. Are you ever on YouTube as well? Yeah. All right, 15, 30. As we're just served now from Rabakiner. Mukubi trying to get off to a good start like she did in that first set. She got the break early and then unfortunately couldn't hold at the end. She has a lovely forehand, serve forehand combination, a one-two punch, the classic tennis 101. If you want me to show you what the one-two punch is, I can, we'll go to school if you want. But tennis 101, the first tactic that you learn as a tennis player, best way to win points, serve out wide here, ball in the open court. 30, 40 has been returned there, and I'm sorry, 30 always been returned there from Mukubi and now it's 30, 40. Getting ahead of myself. 30, 40, a chance for Mukubi to get the break. All right, 30, 40. We'll go to school after this for a brief, brief class. We won't keep you long, don't worry. Has a bit of forehand return going into the forehand of Rabakiner. Rabakiner hits it out, Mukubi gets the break, straight away, same as the first set. Can't she hold onto it this time? Let's go to school. Oh, my whiteboard has been deleted. Sorry, I wiped it off at the end of last yesterday because somebody drew a dick on the screen. Okay, so here is the classic one-two punch. If you, tennis 101, in singles, by the way, in singles, so the server will serve the ball out wide, the player will come across, hit a return, and then you hit it back in the open court for a winner. One-two punch, the first punch is the serve, and the two punch is the forehand back in the open court. You can do it both sides. Also do it on the ad side, you serve out wide. The opponent goes out wide, stands here, and you go bang into the open court and hit the winner, one-two punch, easy. Tennis 101, 15 love. That's what the one-two, it has a bunch of names. You can call it a bunch of different names, but the one-two punch is the easy, well, that's how I call it because it sounds cool. 30 love. Thank you for not throwing any paper at me this week. I know paper planes around, I love that. Tennis talk school, that's it. All right, 30 love. I'm going to serve now from Mukova. Mukova serves, down the T, the back of her back in her, and the return in the net from her back in her, 40 love. Very solid from Mukova. In this second set, can she get to three love? It's a very quick start. I mean, 10 minutes into this set, we're already, from Mukova already halfway through potentially. As that goes long on the return from Mukova, it is three love, Mukova. Up the break, three love. Is Rebecca gonna rest in this set? Um, well, I don't think she came out in the start of the second go, I'm not going to play this set properly, but it's only one break. I think we got to, you got to always remember, three love looks terrible, but it's only one break. What's going on? Okay, yeah, it's three, yeah. Like I said, one break. By the way, what was the over under? It was 20, it was 21, right? 21 and a half? Did anyone go the over? I mean, kind of a no brainer, I guess. By the way, they're playing kid rock at the stadium. 21 and a half. All right, did anyone take the over? Cruising to that at the moment. What does it need? Four games, right? No, the over hit, right? Six, three, seven, six. Yeah, overachieved. There you go, that was easy. Easy peasy, cash, cash, money. Justice for Mukova, please, okay? Kid Rock the Goat. That's not my words, that's your words, chat. Her servers are eating her alive. Well, that's the thing, Mukova was her own worst enemy. She double folded to lose the set. I mean, her serving and both, and Rebecca and her two, her serving has been a problem too, but Mukova's serve was detrimental to the result in the first. All right, three love in the second though, these guys wearing the same shirt. Oh, it's a father's son and they're wearing stripes. Oh, that's cute. It's gonna say these guys dressed up for a party, but it's a father and his son. The dad was wearing a wears, Wally, stripy shirt. Wears Waldo, and then the son was wearing a green variation of the same shirt. That's cute. There we go, matches. Mini me. A mini me, not me. You imagine? Jesus. Anyway, serve, it's a fault, second serve. Okay, there's my son. Why is my son in Indian Wells with a random dude? That'd be weird. I should probably be worried. As we return now, goes out for Mukova, 15 love. For the record, I don't have any children, so just be cool. We'll turn on Andrew, how you doing? 15 love as Rebecca and trying to get on the board here, serve down to the front of Mukova, Mukova in the net on the return. 30 love, 30 love Rebecca and up. Shout out Cam Junior, Cam Junior doesn't exist. That's what I'm saying. No, Menorah, I have no, I have a, my child is a, is Mia, I have a fur baby. 30 love, serve down to the back end of Mukova. Slice return goes long, she was trying to chip charge. Not effective, 40 love. Yeah, I'm a dog dad here. Shout out to Mia, who's asleep. I think, probably. Ace out wide bang, all right. Getting on the board in style, 3-1 Mukova with the break though. Three games to one. Cam, do you think Zachary would win at least a big trophy? Yeah, eventually for sure. I think Zachary in Madrid is a good, is something to think about. Because, Shveontek doesn't play Madrid, or at least she doesn't want to go to Madrid. And Madrid favours players that have a lot of fitness, also it's a quicker clay court. I think Zachary in Madrid is a good bet. I don't know if she's, maybe not this year, I don't know. But I would say Zachary's best chance of winning a big trophy would be Madrid. Everything seems to suit her there. And the fact that Shveontek won't be in the way. Like, Shveontek would probably not play Madrid if she wins Stuttgart, right? So, and she said, she's only played Madrid once, Shveontek. And she said, I don't want to go there. I don't want to climb that mountain. You know, Madrid's a little, it's too tiring, you know, you waste all your energy. And if there's no Shveontek, then anyone can win. Those kind of events. So I think Zachary in Madrid, getting the Madrid trophy is her best chance of winning a big one. Or Guadalajara, you know, we saw that last year. I think Guadalajara, same thing, you know. It's going to favor the fit players because it's high up in the sky. And no Shveontek, right? No Shveontek helps. 15 love. We're going to serve now the back end of Rabakina. Back end now from Mukova. Into the front of Rabakina. Into the front of Mukova. Four now Rabakina. Again, into the front of Mukova. Into the front of Rabakina. Mukova with the forehand down the line. Rabakina backhand goes in the net. 30 love. Yeah, I mean, chat, what do you reckon? What is Zachary's best chance of winning a big trophy? Not a grand slam, necessarily. It could be a Master's 1000, but what do you think? Yeah, Jabir won Madrid last year. Yeah, Madrid's a 1000 event. What do you think? I mean, I don't, she could win Miami next week in two weeks as well. I mean, she could win Indian Wells in a couple of days. You know, like, here we are counting her out here. All right, go in the net there from Mukova, 30-15. Can Zachary win Indian Wells? Well, she got to the final and lost to the best player on the planet. So if Rabakina or Mukova beat Chviontek, Auguste, beat Chviontek, Zachary's, and Zachary gets through Savalenka. As long as Chviontek's out of the way, Savalenka would like her chances. But the problem is when Chviontek's not in the way, does that make it worse for Zachary mentally? Because she's gonna be like, oh, I can win this now. And she might psych herself out. You know what I mean? Canada, Sinsey, and Miami, a chance for Zachary. Yeah, I like that. I think the Asian swing also a chance for Zachary if the courts are faster, or if the courts are faster, depends on, we haven't played there for four years. That goes out from Rabakina, 40-15. Okay, 40-15, Mukova, this is a solid second set. Rabakina will destroy Chviontek, all right. We'll see that. Surgeon, see the backhand slice of Rabakina in the net. Mukova, four-one in the second. Good comeback. All right, chat, we are this close to a big number. 127,000 subs, we're only eight away. And we're also almost at 500 likes as well. So thank you for that. This close, only eight people. Now, let me give you the spiel, right? Let me give you the pitch, right? Is a shark tank, play the music, whatever music they play.

Is it a fine winner there from Rebecca? That's a nice shot. 30 love. We do our power rankings as well. We will go to the power rankings after this game. We have memes, we do. We do spin the wheel occasionally to have muck around. We do the tennis talk awards. That's at the end of the year though. Comedy, I don't know if we do comedy. But yeah, we do a lot of everything tennis related. 40 love by the way. We talk about everything. True. 40 love. We're backing it to keep. Mukubah in sight. As we deserve now in the return from Mukubah as a winner. Woo. Unbelievable. 40, 15. 40, 15. And look, don't let me try and convince you. Just ask the chat. Why, you guys are the testimonies. I mean, I can talk myself up as much as I, I can blow my own trumpet until I go blue in the face. But why should people be here chat? You tell me. You tell them. 40, 30, again, Mukubah with a great return. Mukubah with a couple of good returns here. Big forehand winner and a big backhand winner. We have a, yeah, we got a, we have a dog. We have a channel. I bought the dog, I bought Mia just for the channel. She was the tax write off. 43, can you imagine? 40, 30. But no, we do have a mascot in Mia. As we deserve now, the backhand of Mukubah. Four and a half from Rabakina as a winner. And Rabakina stays in touch for two. Everything about tennis is here. We've got, I mean, we have merch, but yeah. I mean, that's not why we don't need merch. You should subscribe the channel because on a bad day, it cheers you up. That's actually a really nice, that's a really wholesome comment. Thank you for that. Can't find a stream, how dulls the game are exciting. It's very exciting. Quality is, isn't quite there, but because they're both playing at the same quality, it's amazing. Like it's, it makes for a great match. As we're serving the net from Mukubah, second serve. Four, two, can Mukubah force a third? As we're to serve our way to the find of Rabakina. That's a winner from Rabakina. Huge winner from Rabakina, love 15. And we have fun. Well, that's the main thing. Well, we don't try and take tennis too seriously, you know? We like to joke around, make some jokes, muck around. Chat make fun of me, I make fun of them. They make fun of me more. Love 15. As we return now, that goes out on the return from Rabakina and it's 15 all. And I think the main thing is, I think we're the channel for fans. Cause I'm a fan of tennis. I'm not a journalist. I never went to school for, I went to school for architecture. I ain't a journalist. I'm a tennis coach and I've played tennis and I've watched a lot of tennis. That's my resume, but we're a channel for the fans. So we can say whatever we want because we're fans of the sport. We can be, you know, we can be passionate. We can tell it, we can, and I mean, chat gets passionate. 1530, that goes in there from Mukubi. If someone's playing terrible, I'll tell you. Someone's playing great, I'll tell ya. If my favorite is playing, I will be more excited. All right, 1530. Anyways, I think we've spoken enough about why you shouldn't, why shouldn't you subscribe? Why you shouldn't subscribe if you want a free livestream? Cause that's a leak. We can't show you a live stream, unfortunately. Maybe one day, we'll buy the rights for the tennis and I can show it live on the channel, but as of now, that's impossible. That's what we don't do. We can't do that. But we can do everything else. We return now to the back end of Mukubi. Four and a half from Rybakina. Mukubi trying to get, trying to stay in front of this break has been a four and a half down the line to the back end of Rybakina. Into the back end of Mukubi. Good shot, Rybakina forehand goes in. Mukubi, cross court winner, 30-all. Mukubi's a very clean hitter at times. 30-all. Still no new people got convinced. Yeah, well, you know, I tried. Maybe we've reached every single tennis fan we can. There's no more fans left in the world for tennis, so there's only 126,992 fans. There's no more. That's it, we've capped it. We've hit the ceiling, guys. That's it. That's it, no more. 30-all. As we deserve from Mukubi, how wide the front of Rybakina. Ooh, it just goes wide from Rybakina. 40-30. Ah, A. Minores, the over was hit. It was hit. 21-and-a-half was sort of low, especially because these, you know, if you know about these ladies, and if you know about the conditions in Indian Wells this week, there's been a lot of long matches and a lot of tie breaks and a lot of this situation. Serving to the back end of Rybakina. In the net from Rybakina, five-two Mukubi. In the second set, she stays in front. All right. We peaked on the members, lost a few. Ah, that's because people got gifted members and they've disappeared. That's fine. Who are you, who is your top five WTA players? I'm, you know what, I'm gonna answer that, but in a different way with the power rankings. That's not the one. Here it is. Here are the top five players according to the power rankings. You can see there, Sabalinga, Krijikovar, Benchich, Fiontech, Rybakina, top five this year. And I'm sure you're gonna be like, well, Bench, it's lost early. Well, this is before the tournament, all right, so power rankings. Again, we do the power rankings, which is a different concept, never before really done in tennis, not this way anyway. Based on who beats who, not necessarily what you win, but if you do win big trophies, you are gonna get, or you do make finals of big events. You're probably beating some big names along the way. So Sabalinga is number one. Krijikovar number two, Benchich number three, Fiontech four, Rybakina five. Now that's gonna change. That will change because Benchich lost early and also Krijikovar had it took an L as well. But Sabalinga is number one. Now the blue trophies are team events. I've gotta keep reminding myself to tell you guys that. Blue trophies are team events. So Pagula and Keys won the United Cup, which is why they have a blue trophy. The golden trophies are WTA events. So you can see there, we've also got Sacri number 15. That'll change after this week because she's had a really good week. But yeah, Rybakina number five, Shreontech number four, Sabalinga number one and Sacri number 15. So it's gonna be interesting after this week to see where for Miami, where the power rankings lie because the power rankings are gonna obviously change because every week, the thing about the power rankings I love the most is that they're never the same two weeks in a row. Every week they change unless we have no tennis. But every couple, let's say every one or two weeks, everyone, like you might have an upset for, like Sabalinga might lose second round. She'll just go falling down the ranks. So really, really fun. So I think yeah, Rybakina, so to answer your question, Rybakina Shreontech, Krajikova, Sabalinga top four and then for the fifth best player of the year, you can put Benchich in there, but I mean, you could probably put Pagula or Benchich in there, I guess. Yeah, but the top four I think are, I mean, you can even maybe put Sacri in there, make an argument for that. 15 love, Olga Seop made a couple of finals this year. Rybakina serving to stand the set as we had inside our backhand, that is good. To the backhand again of Rybakina is we get a four-hand passing shot from Mukavar and another lovely volley there from Rybakina, 30 love. What about the ATP power ranks? Oh, we can go through that a little later because actually the ATP power ranks are really relevant today because today we've got a lot of guys who are in those power ranks that are playing, they're playing each other. So the power rankings, I guess, to sum them up is just based on who's in form. Really, who's been playing well and the players that are playing really well and that are beating, you know, fellow big names or even just winning, beating everybody will be up the top. With a second serve now, the backhand Mukavar returned the four-hand of Rybakina, Mukavar with a forehand, pass, that's a shot. This is gonna be a thing. That's a hell of a shot, 30-15. Mukavar, very nice passing the long-armed Rybakina. The power rankings are the what have you done for me lately? Fly, you are not wrong. That is definitely, that is one of the keys to the power rankings. What have you done for me lately? And then we look it up and we make a list. That's why Kasparud is not on the list. He hasn't done much from us lately. Oh, Rafa, I mean, Rafa's not on there either. All right, Rybakina serves 30-15, good second serve. Coming to the net now Mukavar, but she hits the volley out and it's 40-15. Top five is Mehdi, Mehdi, Mehdi and Mehdi. Mehdi is number one in the power ranks of the men's spoiler alert. No, I don't think no surprise there, right? You beat Djokovic, who's number two. You're gonna be up there. 40-15, Mukavar, might have to serve this out. Serve into the net from Rybakina, second serve. Second serve Rybakina. Into the corner, Mukavar, good return. Oh, it's a winner. This is gonna be a big TV run. 40-30. Now, if you are just joining us, first set recap, we'll do it after this, but Mukavar was in control of that set as well. Mukavar really should be up a set and five-two here. All right, 40-30. Serve out wide the backhand slice of Mukavar, four and a half from Rybakina. That goes long and now we're a deuce. All right, now things are getting sketchy. Now we're a deuce, Rybakina in a bit of trouble. We get the deuce. Serve now from Rybakina. Down the tee, the backhand of Mukavar, return goes in the net. Nice serve, comes to the rescue. Advantage Rybakina, advantage Rybakina. Hey, Belinda, what's up? Advantage Rybakina to make Mukavar serve it out. Serve into the backhand of Mukavar, fault from Rybakina. Second serve, second serve as we get a return now, going into the front of Rybakina, up goes the lob. Mukavar had to put her hand up. Sun was in her eyes and the lob went wide anyway. Deuce, okay, back to deuce, no set points yet. Now Mukavar did have a set point in the first set. If you are just joining us as we get the deuce, first serve is good, Mukavar returns into the front of Rybakina, four and a Mukavar. Down the line, Rybakina gets it with the backhand, into the front of Mukavar. Mukavar hits a winner, set point Mukavar to take us to a third. And this second set's only taken about 30 minutes. First set was an hour and a half, almost an hour and a half. This has been a very quick second set. Mukavar with a set point, serve from Rybakina. Is good, the backhand of Mukavar, return goes in, backhand, Rybakina down the line, it's wide, we're going three, baby. Three sets, Mukavar takes it, six, two. Huge from Mukavar. All right, now, that is very interesting. Mukavar 35 minutes, dominating the second set. I think Rybakina just took the foot off the gas, just a tad. Oh, by the way, chat we got there, holy hell. Can we get some solutions in the chat, everybody? You guys are legends. 127,000 subscribers, bloody hell. You guys are crazy. And 500 likes, appreciate that. All right, here we go. Third set to start the day. Let's go, let's go. Does Mukavar have it in her to last till the end? Well, that's what I was saying at the start of this match. The longer the match goes, the better for Rybakina. Now, that second set was quick, which is good for Mukavar. But if it does go to over two and a half hours, you've got to favor the player that isn't injured or isn't wrapped up like a mummy, right? The player that has played less hours too, because Mukavar's played 10 hours before this match. She played 10 hours. Now she's played two more hours. So she's played 12 hours. Rybakina had only played a couple. I think like, what was it, three, four, five hours? Or no, not even. Was it four or five hours? Maybe four hours? So yeah, so you think the longer this match goes, Rybakina should be physically the better. But the second, I mean, if we have done in 30 minutes and Mukavar wins, that can be that. 23K left into 150K. Yep, that's our goal for the year. 150K for the year, that'd be sick. All right, Charles, answer questions. Answer my question, the question, jerk. All right, double starting soon with the check evening. Oh, so it's Kragikava, Kragikava, senior Kobi, yeah? I'm guessing that's the way. By the way, Shrionte Kastaiya coming up straight after this, so stay tuned. We're gonna wait until those ladies come on. So maybe 30 minutes, maybe an hour. So let's just recap this match so far because Mukavar's left the court. So first set, it wasn't pretty, but they both were playing at a similar level, which is why it was so close. Mukavar got off to a good start. She broke early. Then she held, held, held. Got to five, four, served for the set. Had a set point, got broken. Rybakina comes back. Rybakina had a set point before the tie break. Didn't hold, or didn't convert. Got to the tie break, six all. It was back and forth, back and forth. We got to about four all. Then Rybakina struck, and Mukavar double folded on set point to give the tie break over to Rybakina. Second set after a bit of a delay because Rybakina went off court for a bathroom break, she came back. Then Mukavar broke early, three love in like 10 minutes, and she held on, didn't give it back this time. So that's where, that's where we're at. Well, that's where we're at now. And now it's Mukavar's who's got the momentum, but Mukavar just went to the bathroom, which is kind of crazy to think the player that wins a set is going off the court. If you win the set, you want to keep going. Momentum, you want to keep that momentum. Why is tennis the only show on tennis TV? It's horrible for the sport. Um, I don't know because blame, I guess blame ESPN and the channels that don't show it for free. There's no other way. Mukavar is a good at the rallies. Yeah, Rybakina is just depending on her first serve. Well, that's something that we didn't see much of in that set was double faults. Double faults were not a thing in that second set. I think maybe one double fault in that set. The first set percentage of Rybakina has not improved, but the first serves of Mukavar are getting better. The rallies of Mukavar were much better too. All right, we're back chat. Who's winning the third set? Last set, we've got it. Why are you not entertained? You've got to be entertained. Who is winning the final set? You tell me, who is taking it? I'm going to go, I'm going to go Rybakina because that's who I picked to win the match. So I'm going to stick with Rybakina, but you tell me, should I cash out? What was the bet? By the way, did anyone bet the over? Because that was the bet. If you go money line, it's too risky on WTA to go money line. And also I don't think, I haven't seen Zach in the chat yet, but if Zach's here, I'm sure he would've encouraged all of us to go with the over as well. Greatest of all times, belt goat. Hey. Thanks. Thank you for the 20. Stad, appreciate that. Thank you for the 20, that's very generous. Didn't have to do that. 15 love, as we're going to slice down the line to the back end of Rybakina. Again, to the final of Mukhovor, is Mukhovor on the stretch. That's a good shot. Rybakina's there with a forehand cross down the line. Mukhovor's back end too good. Now what Mukhovor's doing, and we'll go to school after this because I feel like this is a tactic we need to talk about. And something that's really troubling Rybakina in this match. We'll talk about it in a second. But we'll get to this as Mukhovor hits a very nice back end and a little fist bump to go with it. 30 love, serving first as well, Mukhovor. 30 love, as we get to serve to the back end of Rybakina, four now from Mukhovor, into the four to Rybakina, to the back end of Mukhovor, and that goes out from Rybakina, 40 love. 40 love, Mukhovor is troubling Rybakina, Rybakina, Mukhovor's underrated. Yeah, yeah, for sure. 40 love, almost two hours played, serving to the four to Rybakina, a good return to the back end slice of Mukhovor, into the four to Rybakina. Rybakina hits it out, let's go to school for a second. So, and I mentioned this I think in the preview. The way that Mukhovor was gonna win this match and the watch she's doing right now really well is to move Rybakina around because Rybakina is not as good on the run. She's not as good on the run. She likes to stand in the middle of the baseline and go bang, bang. So what Mukhovor's doing is she's not hitting the ball hard, she's using angles. So what's happening is we've got Rybakina in the middle here, Mukhovor is going for the angles, right? And making Rybakina move side to side. That is where she's winning this because Rybakina is having to run a lot more than if she just used pure power. So let's say the green is this power, Mukhovor was hitting power down the middle. See how much less she has to move? So using the angles really spreads the court out which makes Rybakina just move so much more. So the power is not really what's happening with Mukhovor, it's the angles. That's what's happening. And that's what's annoying, or that's what's annoying for Rybakina to have to do so much movement. And there's not much Rybakina can do unless she gets on top of the rallies early. But if she gets a first serve Mukhovor, then that's where she's getting pushed around. 15 loves, so smart, smart from Mukhovor. It could have gone toe to toe and all power, and this is what's something that I think Goff should have done yesterday against Sabalenka because Goff did the opposite. And that was just power, power, power and it didn't work. You don't wanna go toe to toe with a heavyweight. All right, 15-0, can the teacher? Well, I'm a tennis teacher, so I mean that's, is that a thing? Professor Williams, that sounds too formal. 15-0, I use this technique against the heavyweight players, there you go. It's a good strat. We're gonna slice down the line to the back end of Mukhovor, volley from Rybakina is good, Mukhovor gets it, but Rybakina's there on the second volley, puts that away, 30-15. Coco's a middleweight and Sabalenka's a heavyweight, yeah. That's it, that's where to return now, going to the final of Rybakina, oh that's huge, 40-15. 40-15, that's where to serve now again from Rybakina to level things up now. Something that Rybakina's, I mean she did this, but she didn't mean to do it. She got broken early in both sets. She came back in the first, she couldn't come back in the second, so she's gotta stay in touch at the start of this third set. She can't let Mukhovor get off to a run. One-one, and ideally she wanna get a break, right? Nobody got this match, it's open, yeah, there's no obvious winner yet. Hey, Zach in the chat, what's going on, man? All right, one-one in the final set as Mukhovor serves, who is going to hold their serve? That's the big problem, that's the tie break, right? That tie break was who held serve or who double folded would lose and that's what literally happened at the end, but this is the same, it's gonna come down to the serve, the better server will win. Love 15, good return there from Rybakina on the first. All right, serve, there's a serve in the net from Mukhovor, second serve, more first serves as well. The more first serves, the better. For the more first serves, the more likely to win. Double fault Mukhovor, okay. We haven't seen one of those in a while, love 30, love 30. This match seems completely open, 100%. That's why I'm asking you guys, who's gonna win this match? Who is gonna take it as we get a serve into the back end of Rybakina, for now Mukhovor, into the back end of Rybakina. Again to the for now Mukhovor, is we're gonna for now from Rybakina, cross court in the for now Mukhovor, into the for now Rybakina, Mukhovor hits it out, love 40. Here's a chance for Rybakina to lead the first time in a set at the start of a set. All right, love 40, that's a bit of serve now from Mukhovor. What a way to start quarter final day number two. That's a bit of serve out wide, that's a fault. Second serve, second serve, serve goes into the back end of Rybakina, back end of Mukhovor, into the for now Rybakina, into the for now Mukhovor, Rybakina with the forehand, into the for now Mukhovor, Rybakina hits the back end on the slice, goes in the net. 15, 40, what are you going with Rybakina win? I mean, I trust Rybakina, a little more, especially cause those legs are taped up by Mukhovor. How long is it gonna be until those legs decide to give up, that's the thing. She has tape on her legs for a reason, it's not just for fashion, you know? It's obviously something going on. How long is it until they hurt? 15, 40, second serve. Second serve now Rybakina wants this break early, serve. Double fold and that is actually lost the first set. Two-one Mukhovor, looking a little worried. She's walking a little slow too, but then again maybe that's a walk and I haven't been paying attention. Two-one, 13 minutes in, Rybakina breaks. Winner of this play is the winner of the next match which is coming up straight after this. Stay tuned. All right, guys, I'm tired, no worries. Menoros, we'll see you probably for the men's matches in a few hours, hopefully. We'll see you when we see you. All right, Rybakina, yeah, double fold. They've been the killer. There's a fashion tape cam. Oh, so it's fashion, it is a fashion statement, okay. Look, I wear the same clothes every day. I don't know anything about fashion. By the way, thank you so much everybody for being here. I really do appreciate it. It's, I think this might be the biggest WTA match of the week, it is. This is now officially our largest stream on the WTA. We're still gonna beat Zverev Mevvedev and this could get to the Zverev Mevvedev level, but yeah, this is the number, this is the best, the biggest stream of the week so far. So thank you so much for that. And look, it's a hell of a match, so of course it is. It's the players that make the matches. I mean, we just sit here and watch. Where am I from? I'm from Australia. Not done yet. We've seen twice broken in second set, true, true, true, true. What was Zverev Mevvedev at its peak in terms of streaming? You mean viewers? I can answer that question in a second. Let me find the answer. How many do we have? Do we have, I think we had about a couple of thousand, which is bloody crazy. Let me check. We had two and a half thousand people at the peak, which we've already almost reached here. So thank you so much. Hopefully enjoying the coverage. Stick around to the end, and for the rest of the day, because we've got every match covered today. Play by play through the whole day. If you're liking this, well, we're gonna be doing it more and with three more times. So stay tuned. Two-one, I was gonna serve now the back end of Mukhova, Mukhova with a great return. Needs to get this break back as quickly as possible. Love 15. Almost, just over two hours here. The scoreboard is worrying for Mukhova, that's for sure. It's gonna return now to the front of Rabakina. For now from Mukhova into the back end of Rabakina, to the back end slice of Mukhova. Is Rabakina into back end? Again to the back end slice of Mukhova into the back end of Rabakina. Mukhova with a slice again to the front of Rabakina, into the front of Mukhova, down the line to the back end of Rabakina. As Mukhova slices that one. That goes into the net though, from Mukhova. 15 all. Time to go to bed now as Kingsley, we'll see you later. It is, I know it's getting late. What time is it in? Hopefully it's not too late in Poland because I know that there's a lot of Polish people wanting to watch their queen in the next one. And we'll be watching your queen, don't worry. You know what's gonna happen though, we all know now, right? This is gonna take two and a half hours, the next match takes an hour. It's gonna be, it's gonna be, Sfiwontek's gonna make up, gonna get the job done probably quick now because of this, that's just how tennis sometimes works. Or we're gonna have a day where we just have so many late matches that everything just keeps getting pushed back and back. Serb goes in the back of Mukhova, Mukhova shanks it long. 30, 15, how many viewers do we have at Australian Open Medvedev and Nadal last year? We had 20, 40,000 or something, which is not even a real number. That's a fake number. 42,000 I think we had. We'll never get there again, but it was, that was kind of crazy. Not gonna lie. It's crazy that there's 1,000 people that wanna watch this, I mean, that's crazy. As that goes wide from Mukhova and it's 40, 15, Rabakina. Mukhova needs to figure something out or hope that Rabakina's serve fails her, which it has at times today. 40, 15, as we default, second serve. Rabakina with the second serve. Is an ace, all right. Mukhova went like jump to one side, it was the wrong way and she got aced on the second serve. That's never fun. Three, one, Rabakina in the final set. It's only one break though and we've seen already Mukhova break a few times in this match. Too sleepy to watch the match now. Cam's a lullaby. Well, I'm sure if someone hits a good shot, I'll wake you right up. What were viewers for Fernandez Rotakanu? I can't remember. I don't remember. It was probably, I think it was maybe, it was over 10,000 at one point. So that's usually Grand Slam finals. We do hit 10K, which is so ridiculous. 10,000, that's too many. That's too much. Serve now is a fault for Mukhova's second serve. If I just sit in front of 10,000 people, I'd freak out. So I'm glad this is all online. I'm glad I don't have to actually like physically be in front of a crowd of 10,000 or even a crowd of a hundred would be scary as hell. Public speaking was not my favorite thing. In fact, I hated it. I feel like I'm talking to one person here, which is great. If I had to talk to all of you in person at the same time, I'm getting, my hands are sweaty as I think about this. I'm already, I'm nervous as I talk. It's making me nervous now. 15 Love, let's get back to the match and pretend like, Jesus, anyway, it's 15 Love. Serve now Mukhova, try to get back the break. She has to hold first though, and then she can break. She can't get broken and then try and break because then there's two breaks of service. We had a forehand return that goes out from back and 30 Love. It's 10.30 PM in Romania. Damn it. Hang in there. Hang in there. I'm sure you're going for a back in a now. Get this done, right? All right, 30 Love. Serve out wide as a fault from Mukhova, second serve. I legit feel nervous. Like, why did I have to psych myself out? It's weird, I never get nervous. And now I'm freaking nervous because we've been talking about people in public. Anyways, 30, 15, Jesus Christ. It's weird. We're talking, I'm talking one-on-one. One-on-one. 30, 15. Does anyone else hate public speaking too? Because it was just me. 30, 15. Let's go to serve out wide. That's a fault, second serve. 30, 15. Serve. Into the backhand of Rabacchina. That goes wide from Rabacchina, 40, 15. I'm with you, I do sometimes. Me, me, it's my kryptonite says dawn. Yeah. It's not my... I think it's, isn't it the most, like the thing that people hate the most? Like it's the biggest fear is public speaking. Is that the number one or is it number two? It's the most common fear, right? 40, 15. Yeah, stage fright, yeah. 40, 15. I'm gonna serve now the backhand of Rabacchina. That's in the net. Okay, three, two. Rabacchina stays in front. Yeah, it's the number one fear. Fear of heights is number one. Maybe. Buried alive, there's a lot of things that aren't fun. Some people thrive on it. Yeah, I don't understand those people. I don't get those people who are like, I love being in front of 20,000 people. I'm like, why would... It's one, it's just like this though. If you go watch the first ever stream on this channel, you go watch it. You know I'm not lying. Cause you go watch that stream. I was nervous as hell and that was for three people. So you watch the first stream, you'll see what a hell, I was nervous as hell when we first did this. I've gotten used to it cause I've done it a million times now and you kind of just get used to this. But yeah, you go watch that first stream when I was talking to five people. Nervous as hell. All right. Questions. Questions, questions. Every time I talk before a crowd, I get blackout. Jesus. I can't remember anything afterwards. Yeah, Natalie, I do, I have that too. Like I kind of blank out and then I'm like, what happened? I don't, I don't pass out. But yeah, I, yeah, I get like amnesia. I know what, I know, I know what you mean. What's a look of his badges? I would say big serving and an aggressive attacking or aggressive base liner. You might have to put an all rounder badge next to her name because she does have volleys too. Um, spiders are number two. Yeah, spiders are not fun. According to Google, top phobia of all time is arachnophobia. Yeah, but is it? Okay, fear of spiders is the biggest, but public speaking is not a phobia, is it? Is public like scared? I think that's just a fear. I don't know if it's a phobia. Anyways, whatever. If we keep talking about it, I'll probably have a nervous breakdown. Moving on. Now, to the tennis. Being stuck in the elevator. Well, that's not funny though. Okay, three, two, is we're gonna find her and look over that goes out. And look who's gonna have to eventually break back because otherwise she's gonna be out of here. She's being good enough or too good not to, too good not to get the, at least make this a competitive final set. It would be a shame if this match ended with a bit of a blowout because they played so well they played so competitively. As we're to let there on the first serve, first serve again, into the forehand is a fault. Second serve, second serve, 15 love. Serve goes to the back end of Mukova, four and a half from Rebakina, into the four and Mukova, into the back end of Rebakina, back end Mukova sliced, into the forehand of Rebakina, four and Mukova to the back end of Rebakina. Oh, it's a winner from Rebakina. This is gonna be our thing to do. 30 love, that's a huge back end winner. 30 love, those shots weren't hit going in. Oh, so close. That ball was on the line, shot flew up. It was just on the line. Man, those shots were going out in the first two sets. 30 love, serve into the forehand of Mukova, four and a Rebakina, again to the forehand of Mukova. Mukova hits it out, 40 love. This isn't the game that she breaks. All right, 40 love. So it's not this one, almost two and a half hours. Is this what we're gonna get today? Yesterday we got all the easy matches until the end and then today we're gonna get all the tough matches. It's today gonna be the day where we just play long matches all day. I'm all for it. As Rebakina hits a back end winner. Two and a half hours played almost and it's 14 in the final set. This is the day where tomorrow, what's tomorrow? Friday, Chuck is sicky. Call your boss, tell him to get stuffed. I'm sick, I watch tennis all day, I'm busy. I can't come in and do your work. Can't come in and type your letters. I can't write your emails, boss. I'm sorry, I gotta watch this tennis match. Can't tell me to tell, I'm sorry. Can said this tennis match is more important than Friday at work. It's Friday anyway, so who gives a stuff? Just go on a Monday, start fresh in the new week after the tennis finishes, all right? Just call your boss, tell him to get stuff. Chuck is sicky. If you don't know what that means, it means call in sick to then do things that healthy people do because you're not actually sick. It's not lying, it's chucking a sicky, all right? Serve now goes in the front of Rabakina. For now, from Rabakina to the back end of Rabakina, get into the back end of Mukova. Rabakina with the back end, again to the front of Mukova, into the back end of Rabakina. Going again to the back end of Rabakina, Mukova with the back end slice. Now Mukova has to win this game. There's been another back end to back end rally and that goes out from Rabakina. Also, may I say, if you tell your boss to get stuffed, I'm not responsible for you getting fired because you spoke like that to your boss. Say get stuffed to your boss if you have a relationship with your boss that you can get away with that. Don't go up to your boss and say, hey, get stuffed. And they might fire you. So just be careful using that language. But if you have a good relationship with your boss, say get stuffed and you'll probably laugh. Or he will ask, what does that mean? There's been a lovely drop shot there from Mukova and oh, Rabakina will pick up winner. This is gonna be on Vegas TV. Rabakina getting the winner on the stretch. 15-0, 15-0. All right. Lovely drop shot, but man, Rabakina, because she's tall. She just could leech, leech, leap, lunge. That's the word, lunge. For the forehand, 15-0 as we're serving the net from Mukova, second serve. Second serve, Mukova, this is the game. Mukova has to win it. Rabakina has got momentum. Second serve goes out by the forehand of Rabakina. Rabakina Mukova goes in, Rabakina, Rabakina. Into the backhand of Mukova, into the backhand of Rabakina. Mukova backhand, down the line of the net. And it's 15-30, six points away. The Wimbledon champ for making the semis. Now we've already got Zachary Sabalenka, hell of a match. Rabakina, Sviantech, amazing match up two, if we can get it. 15-30, the first serve is a fault. Second serve, second serve, a big second serve. Almost to us, two hours and 20 minutes play. We might hit the two and a half. And the second serve now, out wide, the backhand of Rabakina, backhand of Mukova is out 15-40 and now we've got a baby match point because if we get a double break here, Rabakina, is she gonna lose her serve twice? Well, maybe, but at this stage, I mean, her serve is, she's on a roll. Here we go, 15-40, this is the chance. 15-40, serve is a fault, second serve. It's 2 a.m. here and I'm watching tennis, definitely chucking a sticky today. Gray, hopefully your boss doesn't watch tennis either. That would be awkward. It's like, I saw you on that channel. Ooh, four and a half return goes in the front of Mukova. Four and a half from Rabakina is wide. One saved, 30-40. One saved. Okay, 30-40, still a chance. Telling your boss to get stuff, what can go wrong? Hey, hopefully they don't know what that, what get stuff means. And then you will get it, it'll be fine. It'll be like, is that a new COVID variant? 30-40, serve down to the forehand of Rabakina, forehand of Mukova. Rabakina gets us right with the pass, but it's going wide. She guessed right, but she hits it wide. 30, reduce now. And Rabakina guessed right, but Mukova hit it a little too close to the body of Rabakina, when Rabakina couldn't get out of her own way. And Rabakina's coach is like, oh, Jesus. Ah, bloody hell, all right, well, there's a stupid shot. He's a savage, I tell ya. I'd say, does anyone watch, well, does anyone follow Formula One? It's like Gunther. Ah, I got a cold gene. Ah, I got a cold gene. Throwing his hands up. Oh, gene, we're faking it. As with a forehand return goes the forehand of Mukova, back in now from Rabakina in the back of Mukova. The back of Rabakina, forehand of Mukova to the forehand of Rabakina, into the forehand of Mukova. Again, to the forehand of Rabakina, Mukova goes down the line. Oh, but it goes wide, it just floated wide. Love it, yeah. Oh, Mick is, Mick, Mick. Mick's crashed again. Ah, I got a cold gene. Gene's gonna be pissed. I can't say F-bombs, otherwise we get to monetize. But you know what I'm saying? He drops the F-bomb, yeah. He is the, he is Rabakina's coach in F-1 life. He's one of the best parts of that show, of the F-1. It's not a show, it's life. As with a return from Mukova, from Rabakina, that goes wide, Mukova survives again. Another break point saved. Just say Fakina, yeah. Okay, and again, Rabakina's coach. I'll tell you what, who wants to see, I wanna see Rabakina's coach on break point. Can we get Rabakina's coach on break point? We need him, he would be the character of break point. Get Rabakina's coach for break point season two. What do you reckon, Chad? Come on, how good would that be? We don't need like serious, like, look, Zachary's coach is nice, but we also need Rabakina's coach. Can you imagine what he'd be saying? He'd be like, ah, she's terrible. He'd be so funny. As that return goes long from Rabakina, and it's advantage Mukova, right? That's what that show is lacking. It's lacking a coach that doesn't, Patrick Moritoglu is nice, but come on now. Let's get a coach who's like, yeah, she played like shit. Oh, the Australian Open Final was very angry. She played like shit. That would be so good. Advantage Mukova, all right, back to this. Let's see if she can hold. Mukova serves the front of Rabakina, back in Mukova. Again, to the back of Rabakina, Rabakina hits it long, and Mukova survives three break points, and she stays in the match for now. All right, I love her coach though. Yeah, no, that's why I wanna see him. I think it's great. It would be great to get a coach who isn't afraid to be honest with their player. That would be, you know, that's rare. That's so rare. Savage is a savage coach. We need to get Rabakina's coach and Gunther to meet on Netflix, the ultimate collaboration, the ultimate crossover, Gunther and Stefan. Maybe his savage coach works. Well, that's the thing. I was talking about this earlier. Some players respond to coaches being more encouraging and nurturing. Some players need a punching bag, right? Some players like to yell and scream, and kind of like Djokovic with Goran, right? Goran's a punching bag. So no one can scream at him if he needs to, you know, vent. And some players need someone who's strict, who's gonna be, you know, who's honest, who tells us how it is, who doesn't mince words, you know? Who says, yeah, you played terrible. You know, some players respond to that. Coco's dad coaches Fiontech. Wait, what? Yeah, but like not everyone can respond to the, like there's not that many coaches like Rabakina, which is why he's so infamous, I guess. Because not many coaches, because most coaches tell their player, hey, you're playing like trash, blah, blah, blah, they'd get fired, right? So it's a very unique relationship, but you know, the player needs to be able to, first the player needs to respect the coach's opinion, but also the coach can't just say that to any player. It has to be, you know, like I said, my coach as a kid, I loved him. He was great. He was exactly like Rabakina's coach, didn't mince words, barely gave you a compliment. You hit one of the best shots ever. He's like, good backhand. That's about as much praise as he gives you. You had to work hard to impress him, which made me better, but some kids that couldn't hack it. He'd go, someone would hit a backhand into the net and he'd be like, what are you doing? And that kid would, you know, that kid would get angry. I remember one guy, he got really angry and he walked off the court. It was amazing. I'm like, all right, it was a survival of the fittest. So when someone cracked under the pressure of Dean's coaching, I was like, yeah, you ain't cut off this. I mean, this is, you gotta, he gotta be, he made us mentally tough. That's what he did. He made us mentally tough. 15 love. I mean, that's what helped, that's how he helped me. I mean, when he was the son of a Grand Slam champion, so his dad was coaching a coach of a Grand Slam champion. So it's like, well, probably knows what he's talking about, what it takes to be, to be up there, you know? 15 love. But we're back in this coach the same and I love it. I respect it. As with a backhand down the line, from a backhand on the net, 15 all, 15 all. He said, great shot. Wow, yeah. When my coach said great shot, you knew you hit a great shot. It must have been one of the best shots of the day because he rarely gave out compliments. All right, 15 all. This is a very important game here for Rabakina because Mukive survived. She might feel like she's got a chance. Mukive's backhand goes to the backhand of Rabakina. That's a good shot. Mukive gets it with a slice lob, but it goes long, 30-15. Keep on with the pressure. 30-15. And there's a bit of serve again from Rabakina. Serve now from Rabakina. Is a big serve and Mukive couldn't get it back. Ooh, that was close to the line too. Huge serve that wide. 40-15. 40-5. Oh, there we go. Rabakina's coach says, good, great job. No rushing. Like, you know, don't take your time. And so there you go. Good advice. Some players do get in a little bit of a panic and rush their shots. And when you're serving, that's the only thing you're in control of in tennis. You know, you have 100% control of your serve. So you can take all the time within the limits. But you are, it's the only shot that you are truly in control because you are the one who starts the point. 40-30. That goes in the net from Rabakina. It's always good to slow things down when you're on serve, especially if it's getting a little bit tense. 40-30. By the way, we're almost at 700 likes. Again, thank you so much. This is officially the biggest stream of the week. So, appreciate it as we had a serve down the tee. That's a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Rabakina into the forehand of Mukavar. Mukavar with a great return. Rabakina slices it in to the forehand of Mukavar. Forehand of Rabakina on the stretch. Mukavar in control here. Forehand open court. Oh, backhand from Rabakina is a winner. That might have been the point. Rabakina again. Oh, no, Rabakina missed it. How did Mukavar get it? How did Mukavar get that? Rabakina won the point, but no, she didn't. Mukavar got it. What the hell? Backhand down the line. Mukavar, oh, that was a foul. That was insane. How did she get that? There was no, I gave Rabakina the point. Mukavar just kind of shanked it in and then Rabakina pushed it wide. We're a deuce. Holy hell. All right. It's not over. Serve out wide the forehand of Mukavar. Forehand from Rabakina is a winner. Oh, that was close. Advantage Rabakina. I just did it Francis Tiafo. Celebrated too early. Way too early. Forgot that he was playing MerviDev. All right, he's playing MerviDev tomorrow. No, no, Saturday. All right, advantage. And again, on the line with that forehand, that was a huge shot. Huge shot. Is it a serve out wide? And now he's okay, bang. There's the game, five-three. Rabakina stays in front. Why is Mukavar doing this so hard? Oh my God. Yeah. Okay. The Rabakina's coach. Given some nice tactical advice to his charge. All right. Mukavar serving to stay in the match. A two and a half hour mark. I've got to be honest. Mukavar's legs don't look as bad as the tape suggests. She's actually been decent on the move today. She's got to find out from Mukavar into the backhand of Rabakina. Backhand of Mukavar sliced into the front of Rabakina, into the front of Mukavar. Rabakina with a forehand on the stretch, goes long and it's 15 love. What a match, yeah. Hopefully this is the start of the three epic matches to come. I feel like this is almost, maybe not quite because that Pagula versus Caviteva match was epic, but this match might be the best match of the week. Kinda like what's on the women's side. Kinda like what Zverev Medvedev was. But this thing, it does need to go to maybe a tie break to kind of top that Caviteva match, but it does have that vibe of top three matches of the week. It's been super even in the entire match. 15 all, Mukavar in a little trouble here. Three points away, Rabakina. Shrionsek coming up next. Little serve out wide. That's a fault. Good serve. Second serve. Second serve goes in the forehand of Rabakina. That return goes in the forehand of Mukavar. Forehand of Rabakina. Again, to the forehand of Mukavar. Into the backhand of Rabakina. Forehand of Mukavar is long 15-30, all right. Now it can't be a match of the week if it finishes now. Because there's been better matches, better final sets. 15-30. Rabakina, two points away from the dub. Two points away. 15-30, Mukavar. Trying to survive. She serves a fault. That was close. Second serve. Second serve. Second serve goes in the backhand of Rabakina. Backhand of Mukavar. To the forehand of Rabakina. Into the forehand of Mukavar in the net. Okay, match points. Two match points. To start or to finish the match and start off the day with such an epic. Two and a half hours. It hasn't been clean. It's been a little bit dodgy, quality-wise, but it's been entertaining. What a way to start the day. Shfiante coming up next against Kistea. 15-40, match points. Rabakina. Served now from Mukavar. Served into the forehand of Rabakina. Great return to the backhand slice, Mukavar. That goes into the backhand of Rabakina. Forehand from Mukavar. Again, to the backhand of Rabakina. Rabakina hits it wide. One saved. One saved. Okay. That's one saved. 30-40. And Mukavar serves again. Two and a half hours played in this one. Served. Is good. Return goes into the backhand of Rabakina. Rabakina hits it wide. Two saved. And we're at doce. Match point saved. And Rabakina's getting a little animated. You know when something's wrong, if she starts moving, like talking or doing any sort of emotion. That sounds harsh. You know what I mean? If she's showing any sort of frustrations, that's a big deal. Rabakina's looking like that, saying that she should be hitting it down in the middle of trying to go for the winner and not be fancy. Just be smart. All right, we're at doce. We go to doce as we to serve. Out wide to the forehand of Rabakina. And Mukavar, forehand from Mukavar is down the line. Rabakina hit the return. Mukavar hits the winner. Advantage Mukavar. Now this, if things keep going the way they are, this could have the match of the week honours. I mean, it's set up nicely. Now, hey, it has to go the distance. I think we all agree, yeah? Advantage Mukavar serves a fold. Second serve, second serve. Mukavar. Out wide to the backhand of Rabakina. Forehand Mukavar is good. Rabakina is there though with the backhand down the line. Now Mukavar is in trouble. She can't get it, Rabakina. Just a sniper down the line. This is gonna be on finish TV. On the backhand side, Mukavar nowhere near. Back to doce. Mukavar, I will remember her for the next tournament. Yeah, I think of anything, the thing that most people, I mean, let me know what you've learned today. What have you learned in this match today? I think a lot of people are probably gonna learn that Mukavar is not someone you should overlook. She's underrated, I mean maybe, but more so she's not 80 in the world or 70 in the world. She's higher ranked than that in real life. She's better than that, right? She's underranked, is that a thing? Is that a new, is that a word that we can, does that make sense? All right, doce. As we're to serve out wide, the forehand of Rabakina. Forehand Mukavar, down the line of the backhand of Rabakina. Into the forehand of Mukavar. Into the forehand of Rabakina, puts up the lob of Mukavar with a smash. It's straight to Rabakina, but Rabakina hits it out. Advantage Mukavar. So yeah, let me know in the chat, what have you learned about in this match today? Is there anything you've learned about Mukavar staring into the sun as she tries to hit that smash? I mean, that was not easy. Definitely underranked, late Barbora. Say what, the Czech players, bloody hell. Mukavar's another one. Krijíková, Mukavar. Obviously, Kovitavar. Pleskivar's been around, do you know? I don't know what they're doing in Czech Republic, but there is some, there's a tennis factory, there's making players. So to find a fine rally, now into the find Mukavar, down the line is great for Mukavar, okay. Match point saved, and we're going the distance, but has Rabakina got the serve to win it? That's the thing. Five, four, Mukavar respect, yeah. All right, tiebreak, live tiebreak, I'll be, it'd be great to have a tiebreak to finish this epic match, but Mukavar's gonna have to break back. Fruvatova sisters, exactly, Nuskova is also one, coming through. Physically, Mukavar can play well for hours and hours, mentally strong, smart player. Yeah, she's played like 13 hours this week. It's crazy. And she hasn't looked hurt. Like the tape on her legs, I don't know what that's doing, because whatever it's doing, it's making her, it's almost like numbing her legs because she is not looking injured at all, even though the tape suggests otherwise, she's moving like she's got nothing wrong. Vondrusava, yeah, another one. There's another one. Your thoughts on the winner in both the Men's and Women's Indian Wells? Shriontek and Fritz. Shriontek, by the way, waiting in the back, playing some football, trying to get ready for her match, which is coming up straight after this. So stay tuned. It is coming up next. Okay. Can Rabakana serve this match out? That is the question. Look at this tape, it's just for show. Look, I mean, I wouldn't go that far. I would say it's more for maybe precaution, right? It's caution. Well, she's got her legs taped up, maybe out of a habit or a ritual as well. Some players need to tape up their legs because of, it's superstitious, right? It's something they do and they want to keep the routine and tape the legs up and work the last match. Might as well keep it going. But I think it's probably more precautionary, right? Just in case her legs do feel sore, at least the tape's got it, we'll hold them together, keep them attached. All right, 5-4, Rabakana serving for the match. So we've got a 4-0 Rabakana into the 4-0 Mookova. Back in our Rabakana. Cross court into the slice of Mookova. 4-0 from Rabakana is good. Mookova slices it in to the 4-0 Rabakana. Mookova slices again to the 4-0 Rabakana. Again to the 4-0 Mookova on the stretch. Rabakana, backhand in the net. Love 15. Love 15 now. Number two match points were saved. And what a way to start the day. And an epic day, an epic day today. I think the men's match is a fire. I mean, we've got Sina Fritz. Elkres FAA, I mean, those two matches alone should be semi-finals or even finals, right? Love 15, Mookova trying to get this break back. She's broken a few times today. First serves a fault from Rabakana. Second serve. Second serve is we gotta return. What a win up. Mookova with a great return. Love 30. All right. Are we going the distance? Is this really, are we gonna get a break here, Chad? Love 30 as Rabakana serves. Out wide the 4-0 Mookova. Good serve, 4-0 goes in to the 4-0 Mookova. And Mookova hits it out. 15-30, 15-30. Still a chance for Mookova to get this break back. Fiontech eager to showcase day of the road to prediction. Man, it's gonna, is the next, I don't expect the next match to equal this epicness because it's Fiontech and she doesn't usually like to play three-hour matches. She wants to, she likes to play one hour. But I'll tell you what, if the next match is not that good, I mean, I'll be disappointed. But also, I won't be greedy as we had a back-in, a back-in rally sliced there from Mookova into the find of Rybakina. Fiontech Mookova down the line's long, 30-all. Mookova has to get this game. Otherwise she loses. 30-all, 30-all. As we get a serve again, a serve again from Rabakana. She's two serves away from getting out of this match. Get into the semis, her first big tournament since, or big result since the Ashura and Open Final. And her first ever Masters 1000 semis, that's, I mean, that's incredible. She's never made a Masters 1000 semi. All right, 30-all. As we're just serving to the find of Mookova, return goes into the front of Rabakana. Won her from Mookova inside out to the back end of Rabakana. Into the back end of Mookova, Rabakana gets the point. What a back-hand, what an angle. Rabakana's match point number three to take us, or take us to this Fiontech match and take herself to the semis, tomorrow, semi-finals day, women's, stay tuned. Rabakana, one point away to start in the day off on absolute fire. Again, thank you so much for joining us. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already. Biggest match of the week so far. So thank you for that. Three and a half thousand people here. Ridiculous. Anyway, serve. Down the T's and A's. That's how you finish a match. Alina Rabakana gets it done, gets the job done. And look, Mookova, I think you can all agree, is way higher ranked than she should, way lower ranked than she should be. She should be top 30. I mean, we're looking at a top 30 lady, top 20. If she's healthy, but Rabakana's too good. Rabakana too good. She didn't fluke the Australian Open Final and she wins in three GGs. Love that for Rabakana. Okay, so half of the rematch is secured. Rabakana is in. If you're leaving, we'll see you tomorrow for the semis. If you're staying, I'm gonna send you to the next match because we're going to Sfiantec taking on Castella. The winner plays Rabakana and you know what we want. I mean, come on now. I think we all watch Sfiantec, right? We want the rematch. We want the Australian Open rematch because we wanna see that match as many times as possible just like Sabalenke Sfiantec. Even Sabalenke Rabakana, nobody's talking about that final. I mean, that'd be fun. Replay the Australian Open, right? Why not? Go over there, talk amongst yourselves. I'll be back in about five to grab, oh, we gotta grab a tea. But man, good fight in nearly three hours for Alina Rabakana. She had to fight. That was a fight. Seven, six, six, seven, six, two, six, six, four. Rabakana gets the win over Mukherba Sfiantec's next.
