 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams and I wanted to go through the three things that I learnt during this Australian Open for 2022. A lot of happened over the last couple of weeks and I just want to have a chat about the three things that I learnt. First thing I learnt was that the next generation are closing the gap on the goats. We saw at the end of last year with Medvedev beating Djokovic in the Grand Samp Final, the US Open. Of course Vera beating Djokovic last year as well at the Olympics. The gap is closing and of course Medvedev this year nearly beating Raffer in the final of the Australian Open. Shapa Valov almost nearly beating Raffer as well. The gap is closing very very quickly between the goats and the next generation. They're getting a lot closer. The second thing I learnt at this Australian Open was that Ash Barty is very underrated. Not as just the greatest player at the moment but one of the greatest of all time. She is racking up the records. She's got three slams now, three out of the four. One on clay, one on grass, one on a hard court. One of the only players to be able to do that in the last couple of years. And she could definitely win the US Open, complete the set. Not to mention that. She also won the Australian Open without dropping a set which is a big big deal. She's going to be more weeks at number one than Justine Enon in a couple of months time as well. So she is racking up the records. Now I'm not comparing her to Serena Williams or Margaret Cord or Chris Evert or Navratilova. One of those players who have you know 15 plus slams. I'm comparing her to the players that have won you know five to ten slams in the modern era and have done really really well over their careers and who we consider as some of the legends of the game. And the final thing I learnt at the Australian Open in 2022 was that Rafa is the goat. I mean it's hard to deny that he is the goat right now. Now can Djokovic and Federo catch up to Nadal and take the status of goat away from him? Yes they can but as of right now it's very hard to deny Rafa as the greatest player of all time. He's got more slams than anybody else of course. Weeks at number one all of those other conversations can be had but at the end of the day whoever has the most big trophies is the goat and Rafa is standing on top of the tree at the moment with 21. So it's very hard to see him getting knocked off unless Djokovic comes back with a vengeance over the next couple of months. Let me know down in the comments below what are some of the things that you learnt over the last couple of weeks at the Australian Open? Is there players that you learnt maybe you didn't expect to do well and they've come out of nowhere? Maybe some players that you forgot about that have you know Madison Keyes and Simona Halep who have come out of nowhere or some players that maybe disappointed you? Maybe you thought the players were better than they were? Let me know down in the comments below some of the things that you learnt at this year's Australian Open.
