 What's going on everybody? Welcome to men's semi-final day and Women's final day. We've got a big big night tonight or a big day. Whatever time it is in your world We've got three matches back to back to back Pretty much if they go the distance and I think they all will I mean there's potential for all these matches to go three sets starting with Djokovic vs. Elkarez followed by Pagola vs. Jabor, which is the women's final of course and then finally with Cindy Bass Vera who always play epics Except for Monte Carlo three weeks ago when it wasn't very good, but I think that'll change I think this will be a little different this week or today But this is a matchup the first match this one never never played before We don't like we we know how they both play But what does that look like when they're across from each other? I don't know I don't know what it looks like the you know, it's the classic, you know, what is it the Unstoppable force against the immovable object. That's what we're dealing with the force of Elkarez Versus the brick wall of Djokovic. What's gonna win is the wall gonna outlast The the the power or is the power gonna break through the wall? We'll find out we'll find out because I have no idea what to expect Djokovic, of course, you know still trying to get to his best. He looked very good against her catch Elkarez, of course was injured against Rafa because he fell over but I'll see if he gets better today Maybe he's maybe he's over that But it's intriguing. I don't know what to expect from this one anything could happen We could get a straight set easy win. We could get a three-set epic. We could get a A lot of results kind of like yesterday when it was Rafa Elkarez, you know, it's like well What what's gonna happen, you know? Yeah, so I'm excited. I'm excited. We're gonna find out a lot of answers today First answer will be how good is Elkarez? You know, he's beaten Rafa on clay We know Rafa not playing his best this week, but hey, you still win right against Rafa as a win, right? We've seen him beat Sidney Pass. We've seen him play against the big boys and you know win some lose some But what happens when he plays against the biggest boy of all? The number one in the world, that's what I want to see is it gonna be fun It's gonna be a lot of fun Also, where is jokovic at because this is by far the toughest opponent jokovic just played like without a doubt like he played roublev last week But Elkarez, I think is harder harder than roublev So where's jokovic at should he still be one of the favorites of the French will find out You know after today because Elkarez, I'm sure he's looking for blood now Let's go through The drawer in the preview and then we'll get to get to chatting players should be out on court soon the doubles match Just finished in time. So you can see here semi-final lineup one versus seven in the seeds four versus two in the the semis down the bottom So we've got four of the top three of the top four seeds playing in the semis Which is very rare these days that we actually get the best players in the world playing at the Final stages of big events usually there's randoms no randoms here. You can see there We've got Her catch and jokovic played yesterday, of course no way beating her catch and straight sets and Elkarez beating raffa You know an epic and some of the other matches they played Elkarez beat Basilech Vili in the second round after having a buy in the first round He also beat Nori in the third round, of course beat raffa and Jokovic buying the first round he beat Montfist in the second walk over against Murray in the third And then of course beat her catch in the quarters Let's talk about Carlos Elkarez. He's number nine in the world He'll be number eight in the world after this week minimum who got a pyro if he obviously wins the tournament 18-year-old from Spain. He's six foot one right-handed 23 wins three losses That is an insane record. That's Could be one of the best records after this week, you know with if he wins the whole tournament Three titles of his name as well Including Miami, which is the biggest title he's ever won and he has also got four career titles And his best wins are against since he hasn't Baratini this year All right, so we're no late number one in the world He's 34 years old from Serbia six foot two right-handed five wins three losses on the year no titles this year But he has got 86 career titles and his best wins are against Kicminovich and Hashinov before this week now as I said, they never played before so we have no head-to-head to go off, but Man, I I I don't know what to expect. It's exciting. I did We'll get learn a lot. We'll learn a lot from this. We'll learn about Elk res will learn where Djokovic is at. This is a If anything, it's gonna be a learning match. We're gonna learn something from this now. Yes people saying in the chat that Elk res Number uh is gonna get to number six. Yes, that is true because Rublev is out So if Rublev had in the wash yesterday, then there would have been it would have been different But yes, so and her catch as well losing yesterday changed that so yeah, Elk res number six in the world Could go can't go any higher than that because City Pass is a thousand points ahead so yeah, so there's no There's no I don't think there can be any other changes. Djokovic is number one It's very of can't go higher than number three Um and City Pass can't go higher than number five. So yeah, Elk res number six. So New World number six I mean, that's a crazy looking Looking at top top 10 going into the French All right, how we doing everybody How are we going what have we been up to in the last 12 hours or whatever I like how you refer to Fed Nadal and Djokovic's goats I haven't heard anyone refer to them collectively as goats most pick a player Oh, yeah, well, I'm call I call them goats and I I put Serena in there as well I put I call them goats because we haven't got one yet Like when they retire we can announce who is the one but until then, you know It changes every tournament who's the goat, you know, everyone has a decision every You know, someone says the goat is Djokovic last year and then this year it's raffa and then you know So I call them goats because we don't we can't define who is the goat yet um Starting time in this match will be about five 10 minutes late. Yeah, that's all right. They'll be on court in the next five 10 Because the double took a little longer when it's a dr. Strange cool. Nice one um Working on watch this match. Uh, you can watch it on tennis tv By the way, you might notice that i'm wearing a jacket because We got up the boys won the boys won today. We beat the hawks uh, and I actually Finally second win of the season Let's go. Let's go Let's go Uh, does the goat thing matter? um, no, I think it's just like a very um It's just an interesting conversation that everyone likes to have I guess I've played him twice and like i'm sorry, but if you can't beat me like you're not the greatest of all time You're not the greatest of all time You're not the greatest of all time You're not the greatest of all time You're not the greatest of all time Hey, thank you jack for the 20 appreciate that mate. How's vagus mate? How is Is it raining is vagus raining the raining vagus? Appreciate that um What sport team is this this is an australian rules football team And uh, we've won that we've played I think it's like nine rounds of the season and we finally got our second win Finally finally finally.

You've been super generous again this week Appreciate that Australian rules football It's gonna be a great match. Yeah It never rains in vagus. Well, I just gotta ask is the one day that he will rain Is the one day I won't ask so I want to know raining in vagus and something weird might happen in a match. You know, it's some weird voodoo I wouldn't all let he get his confidence back beating elkarez gets will get his confidence back. No doubt even in three sets Uh, where uh, can you watch the match? Uh, you can watch it on tennis tv as I mentioned before Match of the century yet the goat versus the youngster. Well, we saw one We saw the same thing yesterday. So I mean this is another one of those goats versus uh, elkarez I was in vagus when it snowed wild. Yeah, see So I've got to keep asking How's your day-to-day camp? Uh, my day's been great. I had a great day. I uh I got to see all my friends All my high school friends, uh, we all hung out and we all played we all Had dinner um Watched my team win against my other friends team He was not happy about it, but hey They can only be one winner Uh, and yeah, um, I had a great time had dinner. We played some games. I mucked around um Yeah, yeah, it was cool really fun. I love hanging out with my friends so much fun We always remember like I've been friends my I've been friends my friends like These are the friends that I had in like first year of high school. Like this is you know my oldest friends And I loved it. It was so much fun um So yeah, so I had a great I had a great time Uh, can we get to 85k by the end of the session match? I don't know about that at this I mean, we're gonna have to get some crazy matches happen. I think What else we got? Who do you think is the most more entertaining in this matchup? Uh, elkarez Elkarez the more entertaining If you if you like for entertaining In the like in this respect of he is the one that plays the crazier points Djokovic plays some crazy points, but when you're seeing like entertaining I think like players who hit ridiculous winners Djokovic hits some crazy winners, but not that's not really his great. It's not really his game He's you know, elkarez is like he hits some crazy winners. So elkarez. I think is the more more entertaining and excited like exciting But jokovic still got his own he's got his own style, of course Today is 50 50 to be honest. Yeah. So the betting the betting has jokovic is the slight favorite Yeah, so the betting has jokovic is the slight favorite, but elkarez look elkarez We know what he can do Against anybody I think no lay in straight sets Because he's better than rafa. All right People want relationship advice from you. Why would you want that? Why would you need what do you want that from me? My my advice get a dog, you know buy buy a dog if you're lonely If you want to like yeah If you need companionship buy a pet Uh, how's the quality fai match yesterday didn't get to watch it Dom be glad you didn't it was uh, it was brutal It was not good at all It's very hit all these double folds the rallies were so long and it was a bad quality match But we got through it But it was not good. It was not a good It's not a good not a good quality match not for the the the standard of those guys You know those guys are top 10 and they did not play anything like that. They played like a challenger of A level it was terrible Do you think elkarez's drop shots is predictable? Um Yes or no, I think he hits the drop shot at the good time when they might be predictable But if you're standing 10 meters behind the baseline, it's still a good shot I mean he could tell you he's hitting a drop shot and you're still not going to get there so Predictable sometimes but he hits them at a good time because They can't get them like players can't get them they're too far back Yeah, you get a dog or a cat You know Is that the is that what you wanted? I am following that advice. All right. Well Good luck. Good luck Hopefully all works out my friend said something very very uh funny and very true He said whenever you get into a relationship You're either gonna marry them and live with them for the rest of your life Or you're gonna break up One it's one or the other you're either gonna be together forever or you're gonna break up So choose wisely choose wisely Uh, I'm not gonna give out any names. He said that because I might have friends in the chat that are watching I don't want to give I want to get it and throw anyone under the bus, but hey, it's not it's not wrong Yeah, he wasn't wrong. Am I married? Come on. Do you think I'm married? Look at the advice I'm getting This is the advice from a bachelor. Come on. If you're asking me for relationship advice, you're already in the wrong spot You're already in the wrong place Uh Who am I backing for this match? I'm going with jokovic. I think jokovic is gonna I don't know. I think I could see algar is winning, but I think the joke is gonna come good When do I sleep when I can Cam is a love expert. Uh, yeah Yeah, the guy who is watching tennis all the time Love means nothing in tennis. So I don't know what you're talking about Uh, they're not on call yet. We're still waiting for them to uh to arrive Am I gonna watch canella versus bevol? Uh, I'll probably watch I was probably Hope maybe if three if I can find it your eyes are so red. Thanks So look what I was going for Thank you for their uh Thanks for that. That's compliment, right? Uh, we can see the number of winners Oh, yeah, that'll change That'll change. Unfortunately the atp don't give out that that that stuff Nice topic. We started. Yeah, look, let's get back to the the tennis I lost four and a point eight k on elqa's yesterday in a dial match or gary I feel that one. I have seen the new dr. Strange movie. Yep No spoilers, please What is the time of the broadcast? Uh, this is it's gonna start It should be starting the next five ten minutes that it doubles match on and I think that was the final So they're probably doing a ceremony and stuff. So we're just waiting for that to finish Um, uh, yeah, I think I can I think that was the doubles final the women's doubles final So we're just waiting for the uh the ceremony and stuff to finish and then we'll get the men men playing Elkers will win a grand sample for his variable city pass That's a that is that is an interesting, uh conversation Uh, so spider-man no way home or spider-man homecoming What? Uh, do you think federal win win wooden uh play win wooden? Uh, no Can you sound rested hope for an instance match? Yeah, I I hope it's an interesting match too. I hope we get three epics I hope, uh, you know We had a couple epics yesterday, but I want to see uh I want to I want to get uh get those go get those epic matches going We've got some real random questions today Uh, why don't why don't we watch doubles? Doubles is tough to watch. It's like it's not tough as in like it's hard. It's like it's not good But like tough as in it's tough to call um It's not an easy, uh It's not an easy It's not an easy, uh A game to commentate It's it's not easy. It's hard to uh, especially when you've got four players and they're all hitting volleys and it's all It gets it gets a little hectic. We have done doubles before We just don't do much because also the doubles does clash with the singles for most of the time too. So we can't Can't watch it all. Um, how's your work life going? Uh, yeah coaching's great I love coaching Uh, do you think Nadal was tired? against Elkaraaz Yes Yeah, I think he was I think we saw that. I mean he's four and I think his forehand was just a big problem this week Problem he needs to fix next week in rome. Uh, who's my who's the favorite to win? Um, the favorite to win is Djokovic Yes, we are doing the women's final. Yep. Yep, of course We've watched like more women's matches this week than men's so far. So yeah, we'll be watching Hell yeah, we'll be watching the women's final continue the uh the trend of Trying to watch as much wta's atp This feels like an interview. Yeah, some weird questions. Uh Canovac play ozopen next year Uh, technically no But he can if the government decides to let him in the country so no unless They override the decision that happened this year And they and the government decides okay, you can play um I got a hundred pound a hundred euro parlay on stef and noley says Vince or a vince mate. Oh good luck. Uh, why is the wta final in between? That's so weird should have been Either after both men's semis or before yeah, uh, nicola that it is weird. It's a weird schedule I think it's just a weird schedule to have Like it was kind of like yesterday. Yesterday the schedule was so weird. They had the two best Most popular players at the start of the day and then by the last match of the day everyone had kind of like Disappeared like in the stadium and stuff um, it I I like how they put it in the middle of the two because it's kind of like It's going to get a lot of a lot more attention being in the middle Um, I think they probably should have put the final on first or figured out a schedule where they have the women's Immense final on the same day because tomorrow we're just going to men's final Like we got we got a doubles final and a men's final. That's it Uh, so it would have been cool to have like, you know, women's immense final on the on the sunday, but then They would have had to figure out Schedule a bit better Can you play the ao next year? Uh, uh, maybe Uh, the four played no part in it. No actual injury. No pain expressions on his face The entire time he came out fresh. Yeah, he's I think The his ankle wasn't bad. It was his hand when he landed on his hand That seemed to bother him a lot more um So we'll see how that looks because if he heard his wrist or is you know, or his palm or his hand um That could be a problem on his right hand, of course so yeah, so Yeah, that that seemed that his hand seemed to bother him more than his actual, uh, ankle Which was the the ankles got the treatment. Uh, that's what I noticed anyway um Can I feel like the winner of this match will win the final? Yeah, I think This match is probably for the like the winner of this will be the favorite morning everyone now Banned up his they now banded up his ankle. Yeah, they will yeah, you'll come out with ankle strap for sure as a precaution Alcraz is something around his wrist there you go there you go did uh it makes sense because um He did land if you watch that that fall he he landed pretty heavy games are starting about five ten minutes Five ten minutes or so who's the who'll be the crowd favorite? Alcraz It's a spanish crowd the spanish player will be the favorite That was the easiest question out of the lot. Thank you for that one. It was a nice easy question Are you hosting the fanslam in rome as well? Yes? Yes princess chad we got uh We got the fanslam set up already for i'm already put the uh the league together. So go go make your team Go make your team if you haven't already. Uh, by the way, if you don't know what the fanslam is This is I'll show you my team. Um, there's a link in the chat or the link down in the description I should say players are coming out on court in a minute Uh, I can see alcraz waiting in the wings. So They're about to come out on court. So this is the fanslam So here it is. Here's my team for next week. This is for rome, uh, my my atp team So make your team link down below and the credit going crazy They're going crazy for alcraz.

It's only like email and uh In password to sign up And it's free Free to join you just pick a team easy peasy All right players are on court. It's all happening now. Keep asking questions. Oh The question keep answering questions while we have time um Ladies should have played first have them sandwiched the uh, have them Should have played first have the said sandwiched within the guys Yeah, I mean, yeah, I think they should have had Like ultimately you want to have the best match on last So that everyone kind of is watching throughout the day and it's a build up to that final match But there's no way in hell they're going to put jokovic and elk res on last like But putting them on first is weird I think if they flip these two matches like put the ladies final and then follow that with the men's semis that could have worked well They did the schedule the same thing last year, you know, they sam sandwiched the uh, the women's match in the middle Our park rash is pumped Yep, me too. It's gonna be a lot of fun Do you did you rest it all after the marathon yesterday? Yeah, I had like five hours sleep Uh, do you think elk res is dangerous? For a player, uh, do you think it's dangerous? For a player to get hyped like elk res No, I think he can handle it. I mean, he's proving the hype like the reason why he's getting so hyped is because he's winning And the hype isn't affecting his results Whereas some players get the hype and then they just don't back up the hype He keeps backing up the hype Time after time so like the more hype you can The more that you back it up the more hype you're gonna get so, you know That that's why he's getting like he deserves the hype because he can back it up It's not it's not overwhelming to him. Do you think elk res has a weak some weak point? Uh We haven't seen it yet, have we? He probably does Was Nadal is hyped Um, he was but the difference between Nadal when he was in 2005 was there was no social media So it's different these days because players can get hyped a lot more and a lot quicker because People talk about them on twitter and and instagram posts and youtube videos and you know Social media hypes things up very easily and very quickly I mean how many times have we seen like a random person become a famous person and then just disappear, right? Whereas back in 2005 you had to be watching tennis to know Who raffle was and if you watch the grand slams you'll be like You wouldn't like you couldn't get much information between I I first saw raffle in the 2005 Australian open When he lost to leighton in five and I thought shit this kid's good And then I watched some clay court season and he started winning that I was like oh this guy's good But it wasn't until the french open 2005 when everyone What the outside of the tennis world people were like oh this guy's real good because he beats fedora and fedora was the guy who was killing everyone Um, but if you watch like he there was no social media, right? So there was no like, you know, you didn't google Nadal and everything like it was gone crazy, right? It wasn't you know, there's no instagram. There's none of that shit. So um That's the big difference like there wasn't the hype was probably there in the tennis world, but it wasn't quite It wasn't mainstream. Whereas I feel like alcaraz is Almost mainstream and he hasn't really had any big grand slam result Like as in like grand slam final or anything, you know, he's probably the most hype player Uh that hasn't achieved Uh, you know a final of a slam or anything which at this point we all expect that because he's hyped But it's interesting. That's it's a bit. Yeah nadal didn't have this same Like he definitely had hype nadal but within the tennis world he had hype outside of the tennis world Nadal was relatively unknown until he won the french algaraz is getting too cocky I love the confidence of that man Algaraz algaraz is strutting around. I love it I Love it. I love alcaraz walking around. He's confident. He's beating up everyone. I mean, I love that you know he's still humble but He does have Swagger about him and that's what I like BDE that's it. Ha ha. He's got that BDE That's it Stop saying hype Hype hype hype hype hype hype hype hype Didn't even spell it right. Uh moya hypes young raffer up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what like I said within the tennis world. It was he was but yeah Uh outside he was relatively unknown until the french Do you think alcaraz is a bandana or a hat guy? A hat I think he's a hat guy Could mariov won against jokovic no Uh, nah, it's confidence. Yes swagger. I guess people think it's cockiness. Yeah people forget very quickly like People get confused between arrogance and confidence and when in the tennis world especially If you're not like a humble gentleman You're seen as arrogant or you're seen as cocky Uh, because you know, you look at like nadal. You look at fedora. They're like the tennis player you should be like But when someone's like, yeah, I know I'm pretty good Straight away. It's like, oh, you're arrogant. You know, so that's why I like it I think he's you know, he's confidence hell and he's not arrogant Not cocky He's just good and he knows it. I mean I like it. I like it. I like he's bringing it. He's got some personality about him You know, how many humble champions have we got with everyone's you know, everyone's Too humble some people just He's him, you know, he's being him Match is starting to have Two minutes because the players are on court. They're ready to go Also, we're almost at 500 likes before the match even starts. Thank you everybody. This could be the biggest match Of the week. We have already broken records this week. Uh yesterday We broke the record for the most viewed match from uh, the madrid open on the channel in the channel's history So, uh, we could break that again today if we get the epic that we all expect Djokovic is serving first. Okay now people, you know, what's up Who's winning this one? Who is winning this one? I'm going with no lei and I'm going to say three sets because I just want three sets always But you tell me Who is winning this one? Djokovic to serve as he serves out wide to the front of elk res into the find now Of jokovic elk res now with the find of his own into the back end of no lei as no lei hits it in the net First point goes to elk res Very strong first point. He did the same thing as raffa yesterday. He just played this dominating point And he broke the wall of uh, of raffa in the first game and you're like, whoa, shit. There we go Can he do the same to no lei? I would argue that jokovic is probably harder to get the ball past uh, than raffa in terms of speed Raffa, you can you know, you can sometimes blast the ball through him jokovic I feel like he's a bit more of a brick wall than in the dull The brick wall is a little bit long a little bit wide a little bit higher when it's playing, uh, when you're playing his No lei As we're going to return now the back end of jokovic and that goes out no lei with an error. Woof And it's love 30 the crowd gone wild Now elk res has got tape down his leg his uh, his right leg which was the The ankle that he hurt yesterday and he's also got a wrist guard Underneath the wrist band. He's got like a wrist, uh Like a sleeve You can't see it because it's hidden by the wrist wrist band, but he does have a have a bit of a Something under there ace from no lei bang It's gonna have to serve well jokovic No lei's gonna have to play the biggest the best match of his week of his year because We know that he hasn't played great. He hasn't even played that much this year. So there's a chance to get Into his rhythm Second serve now Elk res 15 30 a chance to get the break as he serves now jokovic to the front of elk res find out from jokovic into the forehand of elk res And that goes in the net 30 all Elk res is just a beast. Yeah By the way, we're almost at 500 likes. Thank you everybody for showing the love Already 500 that's crazy get to a thousand likes before the uh before the first set. They'll be nuts 30 all big point here As jokovic serves into the back end of elk res find out from no lei Into the front of elk res but jokovic hits it out, but it's Man they the lines people are nervous too Because that ball was in they called it out You're gonna replay the point 30 all But uh, that was a grab was unlucky because no lei hit a really good forehand in the open court and right in the corner And the umpire overrode it straight away, but jokovic was in control of that rally that's That's unlucky 30 all they're gonna replay the point And jokovic serves a fault second serve his jokovic serves a double fault That lines person screwed jokovic big time he went from dominating at 30 all in the rally To then having to replay and double faults That was a tough tough break for no lei 30 40 chance for elk res to get the break of the first game of the match And jokovic with a serve into the slice of elk res backing up from jokovic down the line elk res to the pass jokovic to the folly Into the back end of elk res who hits a winner first game goes to elk res One lobby breaks first game of the match Wow What a start what a start all right first game one love Very good start Now funny enough, I think jokovic has to win the first set here. I think of elk res wins the first set It's gonna be a hell of a lot harder for no lei to come back Which is insane to say out loud, but in 2022 that's that seems to be the case you know jokovic He won in Serbia after losing the set, but that wasn't against top tenors. That was against You know lower-ranked guys I don't think you're gonna afford to lose the first set against this kid. All right first game is a break for elk res Zagras serves Out wild at the front of no lei four now from elk res down the line to the back end of jokovic Into the back hand of elk res is we're gonna find out from no lei again at the front of elk res to the front of jokovic Four end of forehand as jokovic hits the back end inside out and that goes wide And jokovic's trying to go all out a little bit there 15 love five minutes played The crowd are 95 percent On elk res aside every single thing that jokovic does wrong We'll get a humongous standing ovation. He double folds everyone's on their feet. Let's go like you know It's one of those crowds. It's a davis cup crowd They're gonna support Every single mistake That no lei does and they're also going to cheer every single point that elk res wins, right? even if it's a Unforced error from jokovic There's better return now from no lei in the net and again crowd go wild 30 love and I look Is it is a good or bad that that's happening? Is you know, it's a bad tennis etiquette to be honest who cares? I mean you're playing in spain You know spain have a rich football culture You know football is You know you go for your team and you go for your guy, right? You know as elk res hits that in the net and it's 30 15 there is respect for jokovic But they're spanish So they want the spanish player to win of course Same what happens in france. I mean france are probably it's probably worse in france you know france are probably more one-sided and You know disrespectful. I don't think it's disrespect I just think it's a passion to their to their play as patriot patriotism, right? You know same in italy And it's the same in serbia when jokovic played there. There's been a find out from jokovic down to the back end of elk res who hits a wide 30 all now We have seen elk res play against guys Who are kind who are like jokovic, right? Who are brick walls and get three four five shots left five shots back? Diminor in barcelona is exactly like jokovic In the way that they play. They're a very similar style And elk res nearly lost that match In fact you save match points and they won, right? so If diminor can do that No way of course could do that As we had a find a fine rally at 30 all as he goes again jokovic to the find of elk res And elk res hits it long and the reason why diminor was so successful Was because elk res against 90% of players Hits winners and it doesn't come back when you're playing against diminor or jokovic or mevvedev When you hit a winner the ball comes back. So you've got to hit two three winners to win the rally And it's not easy to do I think that's what's going to happen here with jokovic doing that against elk res It's going to make elk res hit three four shots extra and that's Might hurt him in the end 30 40 Breakback point of an oley to get on serve as jokovic stands right into the baseline a lot of pressure On elk res he serves now the back end of jokovic and jokovic hits it out good second serve We're back at deuce Yeah, and jokovic and yeah diminor is so fast the drop shot wasn't effective But so is jokovic jokovic is quick too So the drop shot might not be as effective So we'll see We'll see if uh if You know jokovic's style troubles elk res as elk res goes down the line to the slice of jokovic elk res with a volley is too good And it's advantage elk res jokovic got unlucky there he hit the tape and it just slowed everything down To consolidate the break and get up to 11 the first Solid start for elk res God this match It's so funny because the height behind these matches It was it was dead silence at the start of the week We knew they could happen but nobody was talking about it because we were all worried to jinx it And now it's happened Has been a back and a back end rally as jokovic goes down the line to the front of elk res Into the front of no way as jokovic again goes the front of elk res good shot jokovic to the slice elk res It's a back hand into the back end of no way to the front of elk res now to the front end of jokovic You hit it in the net and elk res Consolidates the break too love In the first Yeah, it was weird because like monday carlo This match was hyped as the draw came out everyone's like quarter finals Make sure you book your tickets quarter finals elk res jokovic. They both lost in the first round When we saw the draw for this one nobody talked about everyone's like don't mention the match. All right, don't do it Don't mention no one even said jokovic nodal semis. No one was mentioning that either. It was like, don't do it Don't jinx it But then as soon as the match happens bang All the posts on social media and hype the hell out of it it's a very superstitious sport tennis it's a superstitious sport Good serve there from no way and it's 15 love You know, even the even the atp in the you know, it's superstitious 10 minutes into this match Elk res with a break jokovic serves the back end of elk res that goes in the net good server from no way in this game 30 love 30 love jokovic trying to get on the board There's no way serves down the tee a fault second serve The jokovic serves into the back end of elk res backing up from no way is a winner Inside out backhand. He's done that a fair couple times already. Maybe that's the secret weapon the inside out backhand Keeping elk res guessing You don't want to get predictable against elk res. He's uh, it's got good anticipation As jokovic serves a fault Second serve Second serve to the back end of elk res great return jokovic down the line goes long. Oh just goes long That's 40 40 15 To get on the board here no way Taken the time He serves a fault second serve He serves now to the front of elk res who hits it in the net And jokovic gets on the board two one first set the question jerk Uh, both look healthy. Yes jokovic looks fine elk res has got strapping on his leg, but He seems to be moving pretty well to start. So yeah, both both are fine Both are okay. It's going to be a match full of stress this tiano. Yeah, maybe Not if you're a neutral fan. It's going to be exciting Why is he called nole? That's just the uh, the nickname that his family and and people give him. I don't think there's any Is there a reason there's no le serbia in the chat? Does no le mean anything like is it a Is it like a you know, is it like a word for uh for meaning anything? Elk res tennis style is a mix of federa jokovic. What everyone's saying new rafa Why does everyone say new rafa? Well a couple reasons first is that he's Spanish second is that he's doing things that rafa did in At 18 years old winning the same events getting to the top 10 on the same week So I think that that's the big reason A lot of similarities there And also the way he plays is super aggressive, which is what? Uh nadal does, you know intense super aggressive Very quick, you know all nadal traits The nickname of who nole is the nickname of jokovic Nole means punk really? It's just a nickname. No meaning. Okay. Yeah, I didn't think it had like a meaning um Is carlos things a trademark yet a la rafa things Not yet. I think we need to see elk res a little bit more to be like To know what carlos doing carlos things is it is Elk res doing elk res things is not quite as uh, not quite as obvious yet who Nole's just a nickname. No back. Yeah Yeah I don't think it doesn't have any meaning. It's just the way you know There's a bit of serve out wide to the back end of jokovic for now from elk res Into the font of jokovic to the back end of elk res elk res got a break in it up 15 Love as we're back in down the line now the font of jokovic into the font of elk res Who hits it in the net? 15 all Ladies final after this so stick around I also got the men's semifinal number two happening later as well. So Three big matches and then tomorrow one match Just the final For the men has been back in now from jokovic on the stretch find out from elk res is a drop shot jokovic running running running Can't get it Great drop shot. I'm believe elk res and again like I said before The match the drop shot is effective Uh, but it's it's it's not so much like is it a good execution. It's timing as well It's all about when you hit the drop shot. Not how good you hit it You can get the greatest drop shot in the world if you're standing on the service line That person's going to get it back You can't get it when they're five meters behind the baseline doesn't even have to be that good It's all about when not uh Not how you hit the drop shot. It's when you hit the drop shot is and where your opponent is On the other side of the net, you know, you hit a drop shot when they're at the net What is that? You know could be the greatest of all time, but Doesn't matter There's been a four hand from elk res. That's a winner. Whoo. Unbelievable Inside out four hand winner just slaps that And it's 40 15 Elk res really throwing everything to jokovic early here I just feel like elk res jokovic is kind of a like Downloading all this information you know, I just like The difference between now and yesterday when we saw raffa having these problems It felt like elk res was just out playing raffa. It was like, holy crap This doesn't feel like elk res is out playing jokovic. It's like jokovic is like Downloading all this information going. Okay Give me your best And then I'll come back and I'll show you what I can do. It doesn't feel like jokovic is really taken off yet. He's just kind of waiting As we're to find goes wide from elk res and 40 30. I don't know if you guys feel that like yesterday this point There's a lot more panic on the raffa side of things was like, oh man raffa's getting trouble jokovic doesn't seem he's in trouble. He's like, all right All right, keep it keep it coming, you know Give me your best kid and then I'll uh, then I'll respond 40 30 is we're gonna serve volley now from elk res. That's gonna be too good and jokovic lets it go He's like, all right, you get that one. I'll give you that three one And elk res is throwing everything at jokovic here. He's served volleyed. He's done the drop shots He's hit the forehand winners. He's doing everything and he's hitting passing shots jokovic doesn't look bothered. He's kind of like Yeah, not bad. Okay, not too bad not too bad, right And that's a good thing I guess for jokovic fans out there. Don't be too worried I mean you wouldn't be worried anyway, even if you lost the first set, you know Gathering information exactly just just, you know Sussing out. He's never played elk res in a real match. He played him in a practice, but again, it's practice practice Elk res isn't gonna show all these cards in the practice as jokovic hits a volley elk res just gets it, but it Is not up No, like it's the first point 15 love He's uh He's just wonder what's going on in jokovic's head Three one elk res jokovic 15 love There's no way serves a fault Second serve as jokovic serves in the front of elk res who hits in the net Halfway up the net that return 30 love They zoom in on the the banner that has jokovic's Titles on there. He won it. He's won this tournament three times 2011 2000 and Was it 2020? Is that the other one in 2018 or something? No 2020 they didn't have this tournament Nobody won this in 2020 2011 20 Maybe 2016 2018. Is that right? Good serve again no late. It's 40 love Because last year's very one so it couldn't be him 18 19. Okay 18 19 16 15 what 19 Anyway, it's 40 love Jokovic serves and ace down the tee and he just walks to the chair calmly. No, he's not bothered He is not bothered that he's down a break and that's scary He is not bothered. He's like, yep cool. All right. I'll get you. I'll get that break back Don't you worry. I'll get that break back The question totally chill All right, let's answer questions I think no back just needs to learn Carlisle style and Carlisle is finished Stephen. Yes, that's exactly what's happening right now. It's just Jokovic is just learning. He's downloading this information To then figure out okay Now I'm going to turn it around. That's what it feels like jokovic is not panicked, you know He's not panicked I like Elkkras. I'm rooting for him. Okay fair enough Rachel. Yeah, I like him too. I think he's awesome No, he knows what he's doing. Yeah Should have been 3 3. No, they got screwed by the umpire first game. Yeah, actually Yeah, that 30 or point where but then jokovic, you know, he should have he shouldn't have double faulted I mean that was You know that double fault was pretty I mean pretty weird Good good Saturday morning to any cam fans living in America. Yeah, happy Saturday morning One month off and Nadal's level dropped. Is this normal? Yeah Yeah Also a changing of surfaces, you know And you look at if you look at Nadal's record in his first clay court match of the year Or the first clay court tournament of the year. He hasn't Historically done too well over the last couple of uh couple of years Historic, I mean over his career he has this is one Monte Carlo a lot but Over the last couple of years, you know, he's had a slow start with the clay season He hasn't won the first tournament back, you know, he didn't 2020 didn't win Rome, uh, you know 2020 he didn't win this tournament first tournament of the year on clay He didn't win Monte Carlo 2019, you know, so Nadal in the last few seasons Has never actually won the first clay court event of the year that he's played So don't get worried Nadal fans. He still won the French open, you know, he still goes on to win the French Or at least compete for it Love 15 first point to no lay all right. Let's get back to it because He's had five games jockovic to get All the information Figure out what Elk res is good at. What's he gonna do? What's he maybe a little bit? Maybe where there's a there's a chink in the armor And then let's see if jockovic starts to exploit that whatever weakness he's found First of all, we have a double fault though from Elk res and it's the second serve now Love 15 jockovic steps in As Elk res hits it to the back end now of no lay back in there from Elk res Again to the back end of jockovic to the back end of Elk res back in there jockovic again To the back end of Elk res as jockovic hits the back end Again to the back end of Elk res for now from no lay as Elk res hits a drop shot jockovic runs gets it with a drop shot of his own and that's what no lay can do This is gonna be on tennis TV drop shot a drop shot Elk res should have come to the net. He stayed back. That was a mistake He thought his drop shot was too good. You're playing no back jockovic. He's quick That's the first time we've seen elk res Make a mistake tactically Usually he's for his he's four steps ahead that point there. He was just playing one shot tennis Should have come in close the angles jockovic's love 30 As elk res serves in the front of jockovic back in now elk res is out. No, it's in Oh No ladies look having a look It hit the line Oh, that looked very close Jochovic had a look at the line. He's like really you hit the line Yeah Well, that looked like it was going out and dropped it the last second and it was on the line Right on the line 15 30 Elk res serves a fault second serve Jochovic stepping right in here as he hits a return into the front of elk res find out from Jochovic in the net Jochovic almost slipped over Slippery in Madrid the clay in Madrid's It always seems to be slipped more slippery You almost fell backwards Stumbled backwards 30 or big point Big big point here Elk res with a serve It's another fault man. His first serve's gone missing in this game Can no le make him pay Hasn't faced a break. Well, he's has had a break point one one break point His elk res serves into the back into jockovic back in now elk res Into the back end of no le into the back end of elk res He goes down the line into the front of jockovic find out from elk res again to the front of no le Into the front of elk res jockovic in control as he hits another find a fine rally Elk res just defending as jockovic goes down the back end of elk res Into the front of jockovic find out from elk res on the stretch gets it, but it goes in the net jockovic gets a break point 30 40 Chance for no le to get that break back Elk res playing a little There's some points here where he's playing very defensive He's standing really far behind the baseline and It plays right into no le's hands first break point So second break point Of the day Can jockovic get it back 30 40 Elk res serves a fault Not in this game second serve 26 minutes played Elk res serves to the back end of jockovic find out from elk res down the line is a winner That's positive unbelievable much more positive play there from elk res The last few points he's been standing like three meters back Just defending That one there. He actually went after that's what he should be doing Use those weapons Back to deuce Back to deuce As elk res serves A fault Second serve elk res again Serving into the front of jockovic for that from elk res into the back end of jockovic to the front of elk res For now from no le is oh out That was the worst shot jockovic is hit all day Just a nothing forehand down the middle Out by a couple of meters Advantage elk res to stay in front with a break, but jockovic is coming Like thanos in infinity war. He's yeah thanos is coming. No le is coming The Hulk that was my hulk impression Go see the movie. You know what I mean. It was perfect. Trust me. Trust me. It was a per spot on impression second serve Into the back end of jockovic down the line is wide and elk res survives First time I've had to say that today for two elk res Stays in front with that break Four games or two When yeah when hulk falls into the sanctum exactly. Yeah, we got some you guys know what's up You know a movie I was watching uh today. I watched guardians of the galaxy two Fun times For now in the open court from jockovic up goes a lot from elk res jockovic does the bounce It goes in jockovic with a smash elk res with the back end again goes in the net no le gets away with that one Elk res made him hit two more shots 15 love Almost 30 minutes played in this one. It's been It's been very interesting This is like a lesson like a you know, it's it's a we're learning we're learning a lot here There's been a foreigner from jockovic in the back end of elk res sliced into the front of no le who hits it Down the line for a winner and it's 30 love I don't know about you guys, but it feels like We are learning a lot Six winners from jockovic seven errors seven winners from elk res seven seven winners and seven errors from him So not as many winners as he's been used to hitting elk res That's because jockovic is a brick wall the great wall of no le 30 love second serve It's been a return now from elk res into the forehand, but it goes long from elk res 40 love Elk res not doing the same as he did against raffa We're also going to remember that elk res has never played jockovic So he's also going to learn some stuff as jockovic gets elk res moving again and no le Just not using power precision over power And he gets on the board and stays within that one game, but he's down a break still All right more questions The question All right Uh jockovic will attack when elk res has to serve the set Yeah, I think the next couple of games, you know, maybe in the next game jockovic is probably going to lift the level a little bit Just think I feel like he's just sitting back jockovic. He's not worried. Not not panicking He's all right It's very difficult to hit winners against jockovic. Yeah Yep, yep, yep How do I rate elk res a serve? That's solid. It's a solid. It's a solid serve Who do I want to win? To be honest, I don't it really doesn't matter because The final between any of the four guys that we have left is going to be great tomorrow. So I don't really care You know, it doesn't like I don't think there's a like probably the most interesting match is city pass versus elk res Because that match is just fire like fire works Uh But hey, you know any of the four will do Where do the men go next they go to rome next week. They go to rome literally monday So we've got a we've got a big week and again next week. We've no no stopping straight to rome Is no lay thinking that serving first in the second set logic, etc No, because jockovic doesn't ha it doesn't rely like rubelev yesterday that that logic that we talked about with rubelev sort of having to serve first to to be able to Take the you know the cut on the second uh on the on the on the returns jockovic doesn't have that same problem jockovic Even if he gets broken in the first game of a match Uh, he's doesn't get bothered like he probably got broken in the first game literally this match Whereas rubelev at this point panics jockovic is not panicked. He's down, but he's not out. He knows that So no, I don't think jockovic needs to do they uh needs to serve first necessarily it'll to to have that He's already you know, he believes in his In his abilities to come back from anything whereas rubelev He doesn't have the he doesn't have that as we're going to return there from jockovic He's like oh just goes wide serve volley from alcrest 15 all alcrest by the way You can get a little Inside into his mind Because he hit the first uh shot in the net lost the first point And he just looked and he had had a big yell A bit of a bit of a bit of a frustration So he knows that he's not in the lead by much He's in the lead, but he's not he's not liking uh, he's not having a great time yet Not feeling great even though he's winning On the scoreboard 15 all second serve Goes into the back end of jockovic Foyner from alcrest again to the back end of nolae into the back end of alcrest As jockovic goes with the back end down the line to the foin of alcrest into the foin of jockovic on the stretch Alcrest now with the foin into the line is wide 15 30 And again jockovic getting these chances And that's why alcrest is getting nervous. He's getting he's getting annoyed because he's like He knows that jockovic is stalking him down Hunting him down Like a wolf 15 30 I love him doing underarm serve alcrest. That'd be just so funny He's not going to as he serves a good serve and jockovic gets a racket on it But he doesn't get it back good serve from alcrest. That'll help 30 all 34 minutes played And every minute has been So good it's been so much it's so interesting Serving out of the foin of jockovic back in out from alcrest into the back end of nolae to the back end of alcrest Alcrest hits it out Trying to hit it a little bit too hard Be too aggressive 30 40 Another break chance for jockovic to get back on serve That's it. Yep Just stalking him like a wolf If you don't know what that means jockovic calls himself the wolf that's his That's his spirit animal or whatever All right 30 40 alcrest serves a fault Wow and jockovic standing that's very interesting. We'll talk about this point in that first bit in a second Wow, that was that was interesting. Okay 30 40 jockovic standing really far back now on the second serve Debate him. He doesn't work though. He's jockovic hits a return Into the foin of alcrest and out of the foin of jockovic into the back end of alcrest. Who's in the net? And nolae breaks back And he turns to his coach and he gives him a little fist bump. He's like there we go Back to business now what jockovic did there was very interesting I wish I had a little back at billboard. I wish I had like a whiteboard to show you but what he did was Alcrest does like the whole I'm going to serve as a doubles player like way outside so I can get a really good angle on the serve jockovic stepped in to cut the angle off And alcrest hit a hit a fault. It was that was a very interesting a little bit of chest there And then on the second serve jockovic stood like 10 meters behind the baseline to bait uh alcrest into double folding and thinking he had more space to hit into the court than he did Oh, that's in mind games. I love it. I love it alcrest by the way Hits the ball to the moon and it almost goes in But nolae's back 15 love Jockovic is just oh, this is I love it I love it So smart this match tennis IQ on it's uh, it's it's definitely on display 15 love jockovic serves a fault second serve and this by the way is probably the uh The calmest I've seen jockovic this year As he has backhand down the line at the front of alcrest who hits it in the net and he's got alcrest not playing his game Like that's the that's the crazy part jockovic has got alcrest playing a Like a like a defensive game Alcrest is not being like his aggressive self like he was against rafa. He's being like I don't know. He's not alcrest right now. And that's because jockovic is making him do that 30 love So it's so cool as we had a backhand return to the net Nice from jockovic the crowd are dead silent too, which is even better for nolae. He's just silenced the crowd silencio I just made that word up. I think that means silence someone in the chat confirm The rosette italian 40 love Trying to sound smart Stick to english serve that wide there's a fault Second serve Serve goes into the backhand of alcrest and backhand from alcrest goes long Alcrest has just forgotten how to play and nolae has the lead Nobody in the crowd is making a noise Like nobody It's dead quiet. It's like and then they turn the music on because it was awkward. It's like Uh, what is happening? Three games in a row That's my question the question jerk Alcrest is starting to talk to himself. He's losing his but he's He doesn't know what he he doesn't know what to do Oh, wow, this is uh, I love this. This is like I'm not I'm getting like nerdy and shit. I love it I love this. This is crazy jock jockovic just how good you know Yeah, it's it's like he's he's on it. He's just on another level Just the mind games and the I love it. I love all this. This is so cool Why do you get so excited? Because it's how could you not? How could you not get excited? Great level attendance. Yeah, like the the level if you're looking at stats alone and looking at like the winners and unforced errors It's not like the greatest match we've ever seen But it's the it's the psychological mind games that are happening That's what's so interesting. It's like they're playing a whole different game It's a head game It's not about winners and unforced errors. It's a whole they're playing. They're they're battling minds It's a mind game Right now And no le's winning because he's one of the best in the biz That's why he's the goat. Yeah Uh, he's the winner no le madrid. Okay. We'll see This match has been amazing. It's exactly like chess exactly rebecca. It's a chess match it's like The first five, you know first five games jokovic was like Seeing how elk res move see what he does And then he's like, all right I can see what you're doing now. I'm gonna do this How can you react to this? And that's it's a it's a it's a chess game. That is a perfect perfect analogy You know, it's not about brute force and winners and you know aces and you know the serving has been okay, but It's a whole like this is like big brain tennis Mainly from jokovic because jokovic is elk res is just getting frustrated. He doesn't know what he's doing He's like, how the hell do I play? He's forgotten how to play his game 15 love can elk res Get to fives a couple of good serves that helps And the crowd is starting to get loud again. That's what elk res needs. He needs to get the crowd involved He needs to hit some ridiculous shot or just get just even turn of the crowd and just give him a big fist bump You know pump him up Get him back into uh into action 30 love As he serves a fault second serve elk res looking at level things at five As he serves now the back into jokovic back in our elk res one-handed backhand. What the hell has been a four-and-a-four rally jokovic just spreading elk res wider and wider and jokovic says sorry for hitting the tape on the way through wins the point though 30 15 man no lays am I And no lays just been like this the whole time. He has not been super excited or super net like Even when he was losing he was just like Not bothered. He was just not even he was just chill and he's still chill right now like Not bothered not worried nothing. He's just like yeah, right whatever I've played you. I played guys like you my whole career I've played big hitters, you know I played create I played in crazy crowds 30 15 second serve elk res into the back end of no lay. That's a good return, but elk res with a volley. That's out Elk res misses the volley And when you serve volley against one of the best returners if not the greatest return of all time That's gonna happen You can't serve volley on a second serve against this man You've got to respect the returns 30 all Can't get away with that today jokovic two points away from the first set As he serves Out wide elk res good serve jokovic gets it back in elk res in the open court jokovic with the lob It's up. It's up. It's up It's out And elk res gets the 40 30 It helps when you get the first serve in Don't forget to like and subscribe. We're almost at a thousand likes already. Thank you everybody for uh for joining us Oh, man, I'm loving this. I didn't think I would like this for the reasons I do I thought I'd like it because it'd be some ridiculous crazy shot making but So far we haven't got that yet wait until that happens As we're to find out from elk res into the point of jokovic but elk res hits it long another error from elk res And we're back to deuce and the umpire tells the uh crowd to switch off the phones because Someone had their phone on apparently deuce Can elk res serve his way out of trouble? He needs to get the first serves in as he serves Out wide good serve jokovic hits it out. That's better That's what elk res needs that get that first serve in He needs to start going back to playing chess because he's playing He's playing checkers reaction tennis to nole. He's we're reacting to what jokovic has given him He needs to go back to starting to you know set up the points not trying to hit aces and forehands on the you know off the first shot He needs to get back into being a little bit more strategic as he serves now Out wide into the back of jokovic and that goes long. That's good from elk res very good That's very good a couple of big serves Five all Oh, I love it. I probably can watch this match watch this in a replay straight after because this is like So many it's so it's mad. It's so many complexities to this. I love it five all as jokovic serves a fault 45 minutes in second serving out of the back end of elk res finder from jokovic Into the point of elk res into the point of nole who goes down the line to the back end of elk res and again Nole makes elk res hit it out Elk res is going to challenge I mean look I it looked like it was out and it was You cannot be serious 15 love elk res trying to jump around here Get and get back into this jokovic at the serve Into the finder of elk res good return back enough from jokovic to the back end of elk res Into the back end of jokovic elk res at the point on the stretch hits it out Elk res is standing too far behind the baseline He's two meters three meters back. He's trying to play like raffa He needs to play like elk res Get on the baseline Take over the rallies because jokovic is he's just dominating right now. He's just He is having his way with elk res. He's putting it side to side He is controlling this match He serves out wide elk res swats it wide and long good serve from jokovic 40 love If you're watching this match, just look at jokovic how how calm he is It's scary It's scary, but this is like Scary scary calm There's been a four and a four in rally elk res finally goes for it, but he hits it out, but that's okay Elk res is starting to go for it a little more. That's what you want to see If you're an elk res fan, let's answer some questions six five jokovic Question the question jerk. Hey, we're a thousand likes bloody hell. Thank you everybody Thousand likes before this even uh first even begins or even finishes. All right Let's answer some questions. Um Carl is not thinking well. Yeah, he's a little bit lost. He doesn't know how He's trying to figure out. What the hell do I do against this guy? Why would he play like raffa? Well, he's playing Like like raffa's style, you know standing on the baseline or standing behind the baseline side to side defending He needs to step up, you know step in and pressure no lay You know not uh, not play into his hands and allow no later Push him around This is a better match than raffa versus no back I would well, we don't know do we we wouldn't we would never know It could have still been the same Uh, we might have a jok uh 2019 deja vu match between no lay and and steff. Yeah, that's true Do I still think alcares can beat no lay? Yeah Yeah, of course if he goes back to playing his uh his game Goes back to that aggression, you know if alcares can First alcares need to find more first serves because he's not serving. Well alcares. I know the stats stats are broken I don't know what's going on here, but um, he's not serving at 97. That's not right. That's not true The alcares has missed a lot of first serves He needs to start getting his serving and then build on that But also stand on the baseline that's where alcares plays his best when he's on the baseline not when he's Standing behind, you know Let's get back to it. Here we go Alcares serving to get to the tie break There's a bit of find that from alcares into the back end of jokovich Into the back end of alcares find it from no lay again to the back end of alcares Who's starting to be aggressive. I like it there's a bit of find now again now the form of jokovich on the stretch alcares the back end into the back end of no lay who hits it wide And jokovich that was one of the not a great shot from no lay. He played well that point, but alcares that was better That's the style he needs to play Stand on the baseline and you take over 15 love It only seems fitting that we get a tie break in this first set. I feel like the tie break Is the only fair way to split this first set second serve now alcares again As he serves into the back end of jokovich Back and now alcares into the find of no lay to the find of alcares Finder from jokovich again to the find of alcares to the find of jokovich who hits it in the net alcares getting a free point there. That's Fortunate 30 love Are you just joining us? Alcares got a break in the first game in the match He led 4-2 With that break, but it never felt like he was truly Dominating even at 4-2. It didn't feel like alcares was like, you know winning It always felt like jokovich was was it was there, right? and uh Then jokovich broke back on to 5-4 and now we're here at 6-5 on serve alcares Serves a wild first serve second serving out Alcares has got to be aggressive in the tie break though. He can't he can't be doing this Defensive stuff in the in the tie break as he goes down the line, but he hits it wide Alcares going for it there. I don't mind that again shows intent 30-15 By the way, jokovich has made 74 percent of returns in this match so far, but That's because alcares has not hit many first serves So jokovich is getting all the second serves back alcares with a serve Now wide to the back end of jokovich for never alcares drop shot too good hasn't done enough of that either Keep doing the drop shots. Keep jokovich guessing You know, don't get predictable 40 15 The crowd are getting a little bit more involved. They're liking this Still think alcares needs to play up to the crowd a little more get them Really jumping out of their seats You know, he hasn't really engaged the crowd Like raffle would do As he hits a return there jokovich into the forehand of alcares into the front of jokovich hits the tape Goes in alcares with a drop shot again jokovich running. He gets it, but it's in the net. We're going to a tie break And the crowd are getting a little bit more animated and look and Here we go. Now he's starting to get him involved. That's what you want to see And they're on their feet smart from alcares Smart smart smart. I was just about to say Raffle would use the crowd And maybe he doesn't have the experience yet to know that's what you should do But he went hey, come on. Let's get behind me. That was smart Because now the crowd are going to cheer every single thing alcares does And that is even if jokovich double faults. They're going to cheer it All right, here we go tie break. This is going to be fun Who's going to win the tie break? You tell I don't know I don't even know jokovich serves a fault second serve And we get two more sets of this maybe so hey We are the winners if uh if this does go three Second serve jokovich into the front of alcares, but it's a let From nole I think I feel like alcares should just take a crack at this return just rip it If you miss it, at least you send a message Show some intensity and too far back as he has a return now down the line Into the back end of jokovich now alcares steps in with the forehand Nole's there with the back end down the line alcares on the stretch gets with his own forehand Forehand from nole into the forehand of alcares and he hits it out now alcares should have stepped in He stood like five meters behind the baseline on the second serve that's Gotta send a message Anyways first point jokovich one love alcares serving crowd getting involved Dude behind alcares looks like he's gonna puke nervous as hell he's like Has been a serve now Into the forehand of jokovich good return there as nole goes with the fine again into the back hand of alcares and alcares hits it out Too love jokovich with the mini break and alcares is having a chat It's a one-cast rare. He's like doesn't know what's going on. He's confused Jokovich isn't given alcares much pace either, which is interesting if you notice that Nole's not hitting the ball hard. He's just hitting the ball a little high loopy and deep And alcares is like what the hell do I do with that? He serves now the back end. That's a great serve and jokovich hits a wide Alcares gets on the board, but nole's got the mini break two one Yeah, this is the first time these two have played a proper match. They did a practice match But again, I mean there was six one jokovich in that practice Set they played this week That doesn't mean anything obviously look at the score right doesn't mean it didn't mean anything So, uh, yeah practice matches Don't mean don't mean much All right, two one There's a bit of serve now to the back end of alcares and that goes out and a bit of come on there from jokovich And the crowd don't talk crowded dead silent There it's it's uh, this is Proper davis cup crowd here. They're not even given jokovich. Uh You know not even one person clapping 30, uh, sorry three one jokovich serves Down the tee good serve return goes into the fine of nole who goes down to the back end of alcares jokovich lets it bounce It goes in nole with the back end winner. No alcares. Oh no. He hits it out alcares. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. What an angle from nole Just playing smart not trying to hit the ball through alcares. He's just trying to make alcares Hit awkward shots, you know in awkward positions What an angle what an angle? Oh, and there's some emotion from jokovich for one jokovich Haven't seen jokovich too animated today. He's been very chill Alcares misses the first serve again Second serve As he serves now the back end of jokovich back in our alcares down the line in the net and no le says come on I'm going to the next side next round the net Very nice from no le very aggressive. No one should it's weird when someone yells on screens and no one else claps Like jokovich is just like come on and everyone's like We're gone for the other guy five one jokovich Alcares ready to go already No le's having a drink. He's like hey kid wait for me. Um, it's it's my time You'll get yours. All right alcares Needs a first serve And he doesn't get it man. First serve is gone second serve Alcares serves to the point of jokovich who hits it out man One of the worst returns of the day from no le. You don't see that very often five two no le's two points away from The first set which has been so It's so interesting on so many levels It's uh, it's man If you look at the numbers and the stats you're probably going to be like, ah, yeah, it was okay But it's the it's the they're playing a different game It's a mind game it's been a mind game for the most part and jokovich has been winning There's been a four end of the back end of alcares back end from jokovich Again to the back end of alcares into the back end of no le down the line Alcares on the four hand side gets it four end of jokovich down the line to the back end of alcares Into the back end of no le there's been a back end of back end rally now four one from jokovich cross call That's a good shot and alcares hits it out and i'm going to explain to you after this Why or how jokovich has Disabled the weapons of alcares Because alcares is not playing his game And that's not because he's come out here bad. It's because jokovich has made him Play A different star that's not the star that alcares is used to playing It's not the star that replayed against raffi yesterday And injury is not it's not injuries nothing to do with injuries It's because no le's doing it and that's i'll tell you how that happens in a sec six two As jokovich hits a fault Second serve first set point he's got four of them no le taking his time here no le He serves now the back end of alcares good return great return unbelievable Where the hell was that at the start of the tiebreak car loss what the hell? That's what he should have done on the first point attack the second serve send a message Better late than never maybe you can build on that six three jokovich still has three set points But the next two serves are on alcares all right Hopefully this is the first of three sets Because hell man this is i mean this is Oh i'm excited i love it i love this as we're to serve now down the t alcares hits an ace all right six four jokovich Still two set points alcares hard like a hold on The crowd can some of the crowd can barely watch all right can car loss Save another one As alcares serves A fault Second serve jokovich ready to go Second serve alcares Down the t into the back end of jokovich To the forehand of alcares into the back end of no le alcares in control here as he comes in with a forehand Now back over jokovich again to the back end of alcares into the back end of no le alcares with the back end again Jokovich with a forehand now alcares in trouble as jokovich takes over as he's the back end into the back end of alcares Into the back end of jokovich as we get a drop shot now from alcares. That's over and in Much better from car loss. That's what we want That's what we want to see Everyone's on their feet, but jokovich still has set point He saved three He saved three And that was much better alcares finally The drop shots, I mean he started to play his his game at six two down, okay Can jokovich close it out He's one big serve away from doing it Set point number four jokovich serving Taking the time here no le as he serves again Down the t to the forehand of car loss as we're going to find out from jokovich into the forehand of alcares Into the forehand of jokovich down the line good shot carlis with the back end that goes in and he slips over carlis But he gets right back up is into slice slice back end now from jokovich into the back end of alcares to the back end of jokovich Alcares with the forehand goes into the front of jokovich into the back end of alcares who hits it in the net And jokovich screams in the crowd He's fired up no le all the emotion coming out And look alcares was unlucky slipped over halfway through the point and never recovered But jokovich is fired up and he wins the first set in an hour seven six We'll go through the stats and I'll tell you what happened because jokovich is just playing so smart He is so smart And I think we spoke about this the other day What the thing that jokovich is doing here we spoke about the other day All right seven winners from jokovich ten unforced errors Like I said, it's not the prettiest set if you look at the stats alone, but Wait one second 11 winners from alcares 20 unforced errors Alcares didn't play well at all But I'll tell you why in a bit. Uh, so again, you know lots more errors than winners Hey, thank you for the donation appreciate it Now the other day who remembers yet the other day when we talked about Uh Plans like someone who drags people down To their level or drags people down to a level, you know rather, you know Rather than you having to play better than your opponent sometimes if your opponent's much better You can drag them down to your level and get them playing your game now. I'm not saying that jokovich Is a bad player has a poor level But he's playing his game and he's making alcares Play his game like played jokovich's game This is on jokovich's terms and how he's doing that is we know like alcares's game, right? What is it? It's aggression. It's winners. It's big serving. It's you know getting the crowd involved jokovich, well Except for the serving because that's just on alcares. He's not serving that great jokovich in the rallies Is not giving alcares any pace. He's kind of hitting the ball slow But he's hitting angles and that's where he's beating alcares He's going with like the angled slow angled forehands and backhands and he's pushing alcares wide and deep He's not trying you know, he's not hitting down the middle like power for power. He's not trying to muscle You know, he's not trying to beat alcares with power Beating him with precision and alcares is like awkwardly trying to get the ball back and he's going side to side He's like he can't get on the baseline where he wants to be and you know nail the ball It's jokovich doing that And that's where it's like and it's just it's so cool to watch because Even though it's not you know jokovich isn't like beating alcares off the court and it's all that It's watching jokovich. What he's doing if you can understand what he's doing it's so like big brain tennis it's It's so smart, you know, it's not pretty But that's the point. It's not supposed to be pretty. He wants he doesn't want alcares If jokovich starts playing hitting winners alcares is going to do the same. He doesn't want that He wants alcares to miss. He wants to just drag him down smart and the best part of what of that as well was Jokovich, you know didn't panic. He went down a break early. He didn't panic. He just went Yeah, yeah, this is part of the plan like my plan He knows that this matches, you know three sets You know, he know he didn't go. Oh shit. I'm down a break. Oh, no, I better I better lift I better get better. I better jokovich is like No, no, no, I'm just gonna you have the break you can take the break I'm just gonna learn a little bit more about you And then when the time comes for two in the first set or for three Then I'm gonna start playing my game and I'm gonna throw it back at you and that is so smart jokovich is Like someone said in the chat it was chess. That was chess jokovich was playing chess. It was smart very like he was thinking Five games ahead he started the match and he wasn't he didn't like he was thinking. All right I'll give myself a couple of games to figure you out and then I'll Do something with that information and crazy Wow, that's a good start Thank you, kelvin for the donation. That's a really good start And I was just answering some questions before while they're playing the first game The question jerk 3015 is jokovich hits it out. So I guess the question for most people is like how How does alcaros come back right? What does alcaros have to do? to uh to beat This mind game that jokovich is playing, you know, this this high level Big brain tennis, right? Just got to get raw. He's got to get He's got to get aggressive. You know, he's just got to Go for it You know jokovich is making him play bad because he's also pushing him around and jokovich unbelievable. Unbelievable. No, unbelievable. No, unbelievable Unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying If I can ask losses to jokovich today, will he if he can hook of xp h in the head to head for a year or two? um Look peter that's harsh I don't think alcaros is gonna uh, I don't think alcaros is gonna be that but uh It's definitely gonna like jokovich has got a game plan That is clearly working It's gonna be alcaros who has to come back the next time. Let's say let's say alcaros Let's say jokovich wins this match Uh, alcaros is gonna have to go back to the drawing board and figure it out go. Okay. What did I do wrong? And he will he's got one Carlos Freire one of the you know A hall of famer in his corner or like a hall of famer in waiting if he's not already um As alcaros hits a winner. So yeah, so what does alcaros have to do? That's the question, right? Most of you are probably thinking all right cam you pump jokovich up. We get it He's playing great How can alcaros get back in the match? Well, he needs to get aggressive He started doing at the end of that in the tie break as alcaros gets the first game one love He started to play his game drop shots variety Bit more bit flashy, you know a bit fancy Trying to blast winners, right? That is what he needs to do He might miss some shots, but it's better to miss those shots than hit You know from 10 meters behind the baseline in the net Just be aggressive and send a message to jokovich that you're You're gonna try and blast through him try it like give like, you know, that's his game. He needs to get back to that uh, all right What else we got You have to appreciate Carlos's tennis though. Yeah, but that's the thing. He's not playing he's not playing his tennis yet If he goes back to that, that'd be yeah Uh, hey megs. What's up? 7 6 4 it looks like a tight match. Yeah Yeah But then again, I mean Let me know in the chat. Did it It's weird Uh, that was the first set That I've watched of alcaraz Who's gone and he's gone up a break and I didn't think He's gonna win the set Usually when alcaraz gets up a break like against raffi yesterday and against city pass, you know a couple weeks ago Whenever you see alcaraz go up a break you go. Uh, oh This is gonna end really badly for the opponent This is the first time Alcaraz went up a break and I thought It doesn't feel like he's in the lead And he's not gonna I didn't feel like he was gonna run away with it I don't know if you guys felt that if I felt I felt that As jogovich misses the smash. Oh, that's not good Whereas against raffi yesterday, he got the break and you were thinking oh raff is in trouble You never thought no, he was in trouble. You thought oh, yeah, okay I don't know. That's how that's just how I felt anyway 15 all Let's get back to it because jokovic just missed a smash And that was uh, not a great not a great miss One love alcaraz in the second. He is serving first which might be uh, we talked about with rubelev Serving first might help alcaraz To uh to play his game play more aggressive. So hey, you know bringing back a full circle from yesterday's match with rubelev It's been a serve now to the front of alcaraz foreigner from jokovic into the front of alcaraz Down the line to the back end of no lay alcaraz with the back end down the line is wide but Don't mind that aggression 30 15 So a quick summary of yesterday's tactic or yesterday's theory uh rubelev Had to serve first against city pass In order to be able to play the return game as well and have that scoreboard pressure So scoreboard pressure being you hold serve and you lead And then you can take a take a hit at the return That might help help alcaraz. He gets the one love He can take a bit of a more risk on the return because he won't risk losing the lead. Does that make sense? That might help him in this set serving first might be the might be uh, might be helpful Let's see what happens second serve now to the front of alcaraz and there's the return win off the second serve 30 all All right Okay, straight away That same theory we put on rubelev That's what we're thinking. That's what we're watching That's his second return winner alcaraz. All right 30 all No, he needs a good serve here As jokovic serves down the t the back end of alcaraz great serve from jokovic goat serve goat serve 40 30 40 30 jokovic To level things up in the second as he serves now into the forehand of Alcaraz and alcaraz hits it out To first serves from no way and he gets out of trouble just like that Just like that and the crowd just Stop I love how camlobs explain tactics. I do That's the tennis coach in me that comes out I love it. Um I mute the tb and and and listen to your narrow rate. Oh nice. Thank you appreciate that All right, let's get back to it then One one alcaraz serves into the back end of jokovic for now from alcaraz into the back end Of jokovic to the front of alcaraz back end of forehand again as alcaraz goes down the line That's a good shot jokovic on the stretch alcaraz comes in with a slice That's going to be good jokovic to the pass alcaraz the volley is too good. Yes carlos. That's what we want to see That's the game And the crowd love it too That is you play like that Don't take a backward step 15 love He serves again alcaraz into the front of jokovic and jokovic hits it out good first serve 30 love and all they just uh Not a not real happy with that return 30 love alcaraz to get back to lead He serves now to the front of jokovic who hits it in the net first serve again As he gets the 40 love good game here 40 love Alcaraz one of the easiest games he's had for it for a minute He serves out one of the back of jokovic for now from alcaraz down the line There's a winner and jokovic goes too good. You got me. This is gonna be all things to do. That's it caros That's what we want to see. That's what we want to see All right two one they sit down and carlos alcaraz gets the lead again The question jerk Why is alcaraz hitting so many winners today because novak jokovic is making him hit uh hit unforced errors Uh, how badly do you want to see a third set? Uh always I mean always Always want to see a third set Uh, is this a situation where nole is causing alcaraz to play paulie megs? Yes Yes, that's part of it. That's definitely part of it force error versus unforced error Uh, wait, what's the difference Forced error is let's say jokovic hits or alcaraz hits a really big big forehand and jokovic hits his forehand out that's a forced error If jokovic hits a Alcaraz hits a bad forehand an easy forehand and jokovic hits the ball an easy shot out That's unforced Forced error may basically means that right force someone forces you to hit the error Unforced means someone that you hit the error without any pressure just randomly hit the error without Your opponent really making you do it Why the crowd everywhere don't like nole? Well, uh, this is a spanish crowd and there's a spanish So this is not a the crowd don't dislike jokovic because of jokovic. It's the crowd of spanish Oh, there's an old man. He's got balls painted all over his face. I love it. They're getting into it They're getting into it Joggerage plays similar tennis to city pass at times honestly on clay in particular Yeah, it's a comparison there. Yeah, I can see the comparison a little bit Uh, who do you think will win the second set? Well, the umpire is talking to the he doesn't his microphones broken I think The umpire's microphones broken Oh, no, it's all right now. It's okay now Isn't a forced error a winner No, no, no, no, no, no because a winner Is what just jokovic just did then a winner is when you hit the ball and it doesn't come back Your opponent doesn't get a racket on it No, so there's a difference Forced error is when someone hits a really good shot, but your opponent Or the the opponent hits it Out or hits it in the net because you made them Do that Yeah, but the winner's winner is a winner is when you hit the ball and it doesn't come back, right? So that's there's there's a difference 15 all jokovic hit an unforced error there because Elkers just hit the return a soft return and jokovic hit in the net with no pressure applied 15 all Let's see if elkers can start Applying the pressure And play that game that we saw him play raff against raffers that jokovic is a great serve Elkers with a good return 4-0 from elkers on the stretch jokovic with a 4-0 down the line into the back end of elkers to the 4-0 of nole 4-0 from elkers again Now to the back end of nole is with a back end slice now from elkers He's starting to mix it up elkers as he hits a 4-0 down the line jokovic elkers gets it just 4-0 jokovic down the line to the back end of elkers who hits it in the net And elkers yells at himself there He's standing too far back That's his problem And if one carl's forever could coach him he'd tell him that he'd be like you're standing like 10 meters back He can't hit winners from that far back 30 15 Forced and unforced errors seem to be subjective Yeah, there is a there is a gray area for sure There's been a 4-0 now from elkers into the 4-0 of jokovic to the back end of elkers That's a good shot jokovic gets it though because of course he does as elkers hits a slice into the 4-1 of nole 4-0 from elkers is a winner. There it is. Okay. Unbelievable. He's definitely starting to play better now elkers. This is his game Hasn't hit too many winners like that Jokovic was there too and he smacked it by and passed him And you know what the difference was he's still a little bit closer There you go 30 all as elkers looks to get A break point here jokovic serves or fault second serve elkers steps in second serve jokovic serves into the 4-0 of elkers who hits it out But again, that was that was the right move Go after the second serve 40 30 Even if you miss those shots, it still Plays in your opponent's mind of like well shit if I don't know a good second serve next time it might be a winner So that was a smart. That's good. That was a good error That makes sense 40 30 as jokovic serves a fault he looked at the mark but definitely A gap between the mark and the line second serve jokovic serves now to the 4-0 of elkers 4-0 from jokovic again to the 4-0 of elkers and he hits it out does elkers and it's 2-2 jokovic he's again at 30 old jokovic is winning those points Aka the pressure points I just we don't have that stat. I wish we could somehow get that stat, but Stats not working accurately to show it, but Elkers serving 2-2 in the second set 1 hour 21 minutes played it's been A mind game masterclass From novak jokovic tactically mentally It's just been a jokovic It's been a it's been a masterclass. It's been a A lesson Now chris is learning but I'm gonna figure out how How to turn it around As he serves a fault second serve now elkers elkers of the serve Is a double fault Love 15 elkers going too big on the second serve Going for a little too much Well, I don't forget to like and subscribe we've almost got a I can't believe that. That's crazy. Thank you everyone for showing the love 2,000 likes would be insane if we could get anywhere near that elkers Serves a fault. Woof That was a very slow first serve 174 ks second serve His elkers serves to the back and jokovic volley from elkers is good. He hasn't served volley that much I guess that you know jokovic hitting that great return Earlier in the match kind of scared elkers the serve volley, but hey got to keep doing it. You know, he's got to keep Mixing it up Especially now that jokovic just kind of figured it figured out Something that's working. You've got to change up your game if your opponents figured you out. You've got to mix it up Keep playing the same game. You're going to be out of here As jokovic looks at a second serve again 15 all elkers really struggling In this game to get the first serve Serve goes into the front of jokovic back in out from elkers into the backhand of no lay for now from elkers into the front of no lay Into the forehand of elkers back into backhand now as the elkers runs around hit the forehand instead and hits a winner Okay, good. There it is More positive play 15 30 15 the crowd like it crowded definitely not as Excited when elkers hit the winner because I think they're still like we've stood up too many times and when he's lost so we're gonna Gotta keep the uh keep the standing ovations for the important points Serve volley from elkers, but the volley doesn't need to be hit jokovic hits it wide and long 40 15 For elkers to stay in front and maybe Get a crack at the uh the jokovic return on the next game 40 15 as elkers serves and doesn't need a volley great serving elkers gets the game unbelievable And it's three two in the second just Keeping in front keeping in front keeping in front. That's what he's got to do The question jerk keep in front then have a crack at the returns staying for you know, that's that's that's it All right, let's answer more questions Elkers is a very versatile and powerful player with some so many weapons very smart too future double digit grand slam champion with winner out of doubt Maybe But i'm starting to find out I think we've figured out Someone said what is elkers's weakness? I think elkers's weakness Is players that get everything back brick walls dim and all Elkers struggled jokovic elkers is struggling You know so elkers i feel like he struggles against guys who He can't hit the ball through At the moment, maybe you can figure it out, but at the moment I'd love to see elkers mevvedev right mevvedev's a brick wall right mevvedev's a brick wall Let's see if mevvedev picks elkers apart like jokovic has then There is the problem. That's the weakness That elkers, you know can't hit five six seven winners in a row Which you have to do against those guys because those guys get everything back right? That's probably why he struggled against nori this week, you know nori gets everything back Not to the same extent as diminal, but And yeah, but this is a good uh, yeah Well, yeah, but this is a good is not really like diminal. I mean diminal is quick But this is a good is just a solid, but he's not a brick wall Yeah, he struggled against diminal speed. Yeah. Yeah um Elkers will be number one by this time next year All right Jokovic is mentally better than elkers. Yeah for sure at this stage elkers will learn You know elkers is 18 19 He'll learn Yeah, jokovic is Mentally far more superior because he knows he's he's he's he's had the experiences, right? Uh What time does the women's match start it will start pretty much after this is finished? Uh or in 35 minutes, but more likely at the end of this match because this match It's probably Uh going to go longer than another 30 minutes, I would expect I Love 15 first point Against the jokovic serve. Okay jokovic's taking a little extra time on this one as he serves a fault second serve jokovic again Serves now to the forehand of elkers back in out from jokovic to the forehand of elkers to the back end of jokovic, but elkers hits it out Again elkers standing very far behind the baseline really ripping the ball, but It's not working 15 all jokovic again just Taking his time not not rushing is Been doing that all day. He hasn't been panicked or rushed by elkers. He's just like I'm gonna just do things at my own pace I'm the world number one jokovic hits another fault Second serve Almost one and a half hours played Second serve into the forehand of elkers bought a forehand from jokovic to the back hand Of elkers. We got a find a fine rally now elkers again aggressive, but hits it out 30 15 Crap trying to pump elkers up here because they know he's not feeling The best about his game 30 15 This jokovic serves he's trying to get the three all here no lay in the second He serves that water the backhand of elkers back in our jokovic down the line elkers to the forehand on the stretch Four net from jokovic down the line to the backhand of elkers into the back and a jokovic And no lay hits are wide We're getting a challenge though Did look wide it did look wide It was You cannot be serious It was wide That was definitely wide 30 all Chancey for elkers to get Breakpoint as jokovic serves Into the net Second serve physically by the way jokovic is looking good. He's a you know We saw last week that physically he looked tired and in a little bit drained, but today it looks fine none of that today As he serves now to the back end of elkers back in our jokovic to the back end of elkers Into the back end of jokovic find out from elkers is shanked But it goes into the front of no lay find out how Chris's drop shot jokovic runs can't get it Okay Breakpoint elkers that is the risk And it paid off that time He knew no lay was way behind the baseline Because he kind of shanked that forehand and pushed no lay Unaccidentally pushed him back to the you know back to the back fence or the back You know wherever the back back of the court And he had a jokovic standing two three meters behind and he went all right now i'm going to drop here smart from elkers Breakpoint first break points into first set for elkers To get to four two in this second set jokovic serving Did you get the point? What happened? Oh no second serve Can elkers get the break? Here we go jokovic serves Into the front of elkers for now from jokovic into the front of elkers who shanks it out and jokovic survives No lay survives and it's back at doce Oh, man. Oh, man intense. It's intense They're playing in a tent as we're to serve now that's a let Toughest game jokovic is out for a while Still doesn't look bothered as he serves down the tee the back in Elkers and that goes out nice serve from no lay advantage jokovic advantage no lay And he serves out wide at the back end of elkers. That's in the net jokovic With a couple of goalies not happy jokovic not happy I don't know why he's looking angry. He's looking at uh looking at his coach and he's Not not happy there jokovic. I'm not sure what it's about but Does seem he's I thought he was cool karma collector, but he's shown a bit of frustration Maybe the fact that he's not serving as well as you'd like He held serve Elkers serving now Goes in the back end of jokovic find out from elkers into the back end of jokovic to the back end of elkers Back end from no lay down the line to the front of elkers into the front of jokovic Now to the back end of elkers who hits it in the net And it's love 15 He might be unhappy that the the crowd are against well Not for him But I don't think he's that bothered by that today. I think I mean he was He's experienced enough to expect that he's playing in a hostile crowd because he's playing Against a You know a home favorite a favorite, right? I think it's when jokovic is playing neutral ground and the crowds are against him still that's when he gets pissed, but There's a slice there from jokovic that goes long And elkers gets the 15 all It's when jokovic is playing a wimbledon and he's getting booed and you're like he's like I'm not even playing a british player and you're booing me That's when he gets annoyed, but Playing in spain against a spanish player I mean, he knows that this is to be expected Just like when roublev was getting booed by everyone for being in serbia or playing jokovic like that's just how it works No, he knows that I think he's more frustrated by what's Maybe the fact that he hasn't won this match already as we'll return now from jokovic It goes long 30 15 and no late just showing some signs of frustration Looking to the sky after that one and being like, oh, how did I miss it? Little little bits and pieces are coming through. I wonder if elkers is paying attention Now if your uh, if elkers is smart, he'd play on that Get the crowd more involved You know make them cheer louder when the error happens You know, it's It's what you want to see well That's what you want to do if you see your opponent, you know struggling under certain circumstances Make it more make it worse. You know make it harder for them That's where to return now from jokovic to the back end of elkers down the line hit the tape goes in to the front of no Lay for now from elkers is out It's hard to make the crowd get involved when you don't win the points though 30 all all right elkers 30 or big point big big point here Elkers looking to just keep in front You never know, you know when you're up up on the scoreboard you might get a free point here and there and Break points become set points Just serving first 30 all second serve Elkers serves the back end of jokovic. He hits a moon ball elkers with a drop shot and it's too good Unbelievable that was too good again 30 old drop shot elkers just He's living on the edge But it's working perfect placement 40 30 elkers looking to get The lead again five drop shots elkers in the match five drop shot winners For jokovic as jokovic returns into the back end slice of elkers back in our no Lay down the line to the front of elkers in the front of jokovic For one again to elkers's forehand as we get a foreign from jokovic down the line to the back end of elkers If it's a drop shot and again, it's a winner elkers drop shotting jokovic all over the place This is gonna be all things to the crowd love it jokovic getting really animated here. He's not happy He's not happy. I think he's pissed about the drop I think he's annoyed At the tactics because he's like He's crazy thinking like man, how am I getting drop shot? How am I getting drop shoted? Maybe they didn't plan for that Okay, our quest drop shot is something else. Yeah, he's I mean It's it's how to hit a drop shot copy elkers That's if you want to learn how to hit a drop shot copy this man I do think Carlos would find it easier versus no land a faster surface That could be a factor. Yeah, that could be a factor. Uh, what place does elkers move up to if he wins the tournament? Uh, he can't go any higher than six Which is what will happen if he loses or wins today He can't go any higher than six. So, uh, this guy's drop shots are working like this on clay Or would they work on grass? That's true Jokovic just better. I think it's just to deacons De-concentrate elkers, okay Hey, can we ever watch some of high tie? Yeah, of course Of course I have There is one thing elkers is using good. Yeah the drop shot The drop shot and it's getting jokovic annoyed So that's something that you want to play on, you know, keep annoying jokovic like if you annoy jokovic Um, he might crack and You might get a chance to break or you might get, you know, you might throw in a couple of errors jokovic at a frustration So yeah playing on that Like that is clearly something that jokovic is hating at the moment is the drop shots. He's like, I can't Stop doing him. Stop doing it. He's annoyed And the crowd of you know cheering them really loud, you know, get those two things And try and just like just really annoyed jokovic with that and that might break through You might get the breakthrough through that 15 love as that goes out from elk res and it's 30 love good serving from jokovic It's the first time we have seen jokovic sort of Annoyed as well like even the first that he was down a break You wouldn't know it the way he was uh walking around it was totally chill Serve out wide now jokovic is a fault second serve You know like taking the time again, which is what he does he serves now to the front of elk res and elk res is a winner Wow He hits a winner from 10 meters behind the baseline What a shot 30 15 And he's like shrugged his shoulders like Yeah, one out of a million. I mean haven't haven't had too many of those Elk res is 12 winners in the set only one winner for jokovic Interesting Yeah Except bullshit russian you think this is normal Congrats cinco k-watchers gold gold gold gold gold Hey, thank you keros for the 10 appreciate that By the way, that serve was in from jokovic. You cannot be serious very nice serve from nolle 40 15 To level things up here nolle The women's final happening straight after this so stick around That match is going to be very interesting as well. You like drop shots You like jabour Second serve don't forget. We also have uh later as well city pass versus varev which is actually When we go through the head-to-head is a very one-sided Matchup on uh on the head-to-head. I was going to find out elk res down the line for a winner And again, he's showing signs of his game in this second set He's just not putting them together enough To make it count on the scoreboard, but there are signs that he is Using that forehand for as a weapon again jokovic again to shrug on the shoulders not uh Not having much fun out here at the moment Still 40 30 though to level things up jokovic serves a fault second serve jokovic down to the front of elk res back in our nolle into the back end of Elk res is we're going to back in now down the line from jokovic elk res on the stretch gets it Into the front of jokovic back in our elk res again to the front of jokovic Elk res starting to unload as he had to find now again as jokovic hits a fine and elk res shanks it out Played a good point up until the shank For all jokovic gets the game. I'm look I've watched enough goats and goat tennis To know what this game usually means Elk res has played better in this second set. He's had chances But when you have those half chances or even a breakpoint you've got to take him against this man Otherwise if you don't take him early and it gets to this stage for all jokovic is going to lift Let's see if elk res can hold this game might be the toughest game of the match for elk res Can he hold serve? Where's the first serve? Down the tee the back of jokovic and oh Jokovic's shot was Wide just Elk res didn't what happened? They're both What's What's happening? I they're all shut. They're all putting their hands in the air like I don't know what's going on Love 15 the ball was in you cannot be serious. It was in Elk res turned his back thinking it was out and went in What a return jokovic love 15 Elk res with a serve Out wide at the back end of jokovic and that goes out elk res He left that one 15 all Man, this feels like tense. This is gonna be tense game Let's see if elk res can get out of it easier He serves out wide good serving jokovic returns it though and elk res hits it wide 15 30 15 30 the the scary part is elk res has got three first serves in So he's even got his first serve in and he's still Down 15 30 after getting three good serves jokovic returns have just come to another level His elk res serves Again into the back end of jokovic for now from elk res into the forehand of nole who shanks it wide But again jokovic gets the first serve return in Nole knows it too. He's like, oh, I got the hard shot back and I missed the easy one 30 all Jokovic is yelling there. He's not happy The bo- jeez the lines person behind jokovic just looks super sunburn. See it is red Dude, that's uh, it's dangerous. Anyways return now elk res down the line Goes wide but elk res goes. I'm challenging that And again first serve goes in jokovic gets a back if this is out. It's a break point for nole I think jokovic knows it was I was out you cannot be serious again five first serves in And he's down break point jokovic has lifted At four all again break point jokovic as elk res serves Out wide to the back end of jokovic and that goes out good serve from elk res again a first serve And jokovic is yelling and screaming. He is not happy so strange that he's On edge jokovic which is weird because he looks so calm in the first set despite it was actually losing that First set and he looked way more calm than he is right now deuce Elk res hasn't missed the first serve in this game Yeah, the score line shows deuce There he serves a fault uh-oh Second serve Elk res serves the back end of jokovic return to the front of elk res back in our jokovic to the back end of elk res Into the back end of jokovic back in elk res a drop shot jokovic runs He gets it this time with a drop shot of his own elk res gets with a flick jokovic with a volley in the net Elk res survives And he's got a big smile. He's like oh shit. I got lucky there He beats jokovic in his own game No, they got it. I mean then hits a lovely drop shot back when elk res was there Or that volley would have been a winner had it gone over Elk res survives. He knows it. He got lucky Advantage elk res To get back that lead Served entity is a fault second serve Crowder making noise Elk res trying to serve Second serving to the back end jokovic for an fml krez Goes out good return from no way We're back at deuce Back to deuce And the umpire is trying to tell the crowd to please shut up when we're when they're serving Even between the serves and right back To deuce Elk res serves another fault This is last three serves elk res Then again, he got his first serves in it still didn't work. So Served entity the back end of jokovic shanked And in elk res with a moon ball. What the hell? It's got real weird as he comes in with a volley swinging volley elk res and that's so smart Elk res It was moon ball moon ball and then elk res charged the net from like Way back here somewhere sitting in the front row and he went oh, I better go into the net Wasn't an approach shot. He just sprinted And jokovic moon ball to know you didn't see elk res that he ran into the net sneak attack a bit of a sneak attack It worked And jokovic just hits himself in the head like ah He got me as we have a turn down from elk res for now in the open caught a winner. There we go Carlos survives Tough game, but he survives Oh, man Some of the tactics. I love this Such a tactical match. I love it. I love it Five four elk res he survives stays in front With that uh with that hold. All right, let's give him answer questions Yeah sabba sneak attack by elk res. Yep Moon ball approach that is I mean that is risky as hell This match is so much fun. Yeah. Yeah No, he's annoyed because he knows the kid will overtake him soon I don't know. I mean, I don't think I don't think jokovic is just too stressed about that. I think he's just Getting maybe annoyed at the fact that he hasn't taken the second set Uh, yes, you know I don't care who wins this match. It's insane The king is there long live the new king Could you see you enjoying it so much you love tennis so much? Yeah I love this sort of tennis like it's like And it's maybe it's because yesterday we watched one of the The total opposite of this match with uh, it's very of an f a a which was like There was no tactics in that. It was just very Sloppy and and low quality And this is like the total opposite Yeah poll I was yeah Yeah, this situation is the Compared to yesterday's the last match from yesterday. This match is like Why like polls apart and you wonder like there's levels to this game People are like odds very of you know, even sverov's gone. Oh, I'm a part of the new big three. No, you're not No, you're not Elker is as close to jokovic than then sverov and f a a r like you saw that match yesterday that those they did not I don't know what they were doing Here it's like Miles apart Which is scary for all those next-gen guys because elk res is already overtaking them in their in their ability like elk res is playing a way higher Level of tennis than what we're seeing from that's why he's beating city pass all the time, right? As elk res comes in with a uh smash now and he puts in the net The crowd were yelling during that point jokovic didn't react to it though, but he got a little it that's a not uh No, that would That would get a little too excited in the middle that point love 15 Yeah, it's very said the new big three was uh mevadev jokovic and sverov Or something was it with those three guys? Which is crazy because he doesn't want to slam so how can you even put yourself in there? But he did jokovic with a forehand in the net. Oh, no Love 30 couple of errors from no way a smash error and a forehand error Elk res two points away from a third It's kind of come out of nowhere, but if you serve first in a set This can happen even against the best Love 30 jokovic under pressure It's broken in the first game of the match as he serves a an ace, but But someone in the crowd you out My god someone was like out and what Was clearly in 15 30 ace from jokovic almost two hours played in this one. We might get a third set which is exactly what I want Because he's forced that a fourth ace jokovic 15 30 still a chance for elk res to get The break and the set as jokovic serves a good serve now a backhand from nolle is a drop shot Elk res gets with the backhand jokovic the volley too good Too good, but jokovic is like i'm sick of you drop shotting me. It's my turn to do do it to you And he just got away with that elk res was pretty quick 30 all and what a match this has been so far It's been More than I expected I expected highlight shots and fun, but this uh this It's a grand master of tennis up against A prodigy for sure as we're going to find out from Elk res into the form of jokovic a 30 or big point as we're going to find rally and elk res hits in the net 40 30 jokovic to level things up at five all And if we get another tie break two hours on the on the card for sure ladies final happening straight after this so Stick around for that And of course city pass versus vario happening later tonight or later to this afternoon. Well, yeah tonight. No tonight Might be way later Serving out of the back end of elk res that goes out five all And again jokovic a 30 all does a goat thing A lot of 30 or points one by no late today Can jokovic Close this out or can elk res force a third five all Elk res serves a fault second serve Serves to the back end of jokovic four net from elk res into the net Love 15 Remember the last game four all Elk res had to survive that game love 15 as elk res serves into the forehand and that's a fault So that's a uh an error 15 all five all this is just crazy How are we feeling in the chat? Let me know with uh with with one emoji. How are you feeling? I was going to return for jokovic and uh that goes why good serve from elk res 30 15 30 15 To at least play a tie break if you can get this game How we feeling a lot of nerves a lot of nerves, okay We're gonna serve now And the back end of jokovic four net from elk res is a winner back behind jokovic. We haven't seen that We haven't seen that tactic done much where he serves sort of out wide and then as jokovic is running to cover the line Go back behind him. We haven't seen that much today Uh from elk res which we did see against raffa yesterday. So it's weird that he hasn't done that much But I guess it's probably because it's jokovic and his anticipation is off the charts Serving out of the back end of jokovic back in our elk res Can't be hit because jokovic hits a ridiculous return 40 30 still a chance if we're elk res to get The lead and six five as we deserve It's a fault By the way, the shadows coming across the court that can be very annoying so The court's kind of covered in half shadow half sun As he double folds elk res And I don't know who it's going to affect but it could affect either of these guys So let's keep that in mind as well having that weird Half and half court The ball going into the shade in the sun that is if you've ever played tennis in a you know like with you know A sunny day and maybe trees around or even a sunny day where the hot courts got some shadows It's always awkward when the ball changes color There's been a return out of the point of elk res and that's a drop shot, but it's in the net The first miss drop shot we've seen for a long long time And jokovic gets a break point Uh-oh Oh, no Elk res misses in the day he would have hit a winner if it'd gone over that would have been a winner 100% would have been a winner Advantage jokovic Yep Someone's nervous second serve elk res As elk res serves Out wide at the back end of jokovic great return elk res with the slice Four net from jokovic again to the back end of elk res into the back end of jokovic Back in again elk res the drop shot that goes over not like gets it elk res with the back end But jokovic hits it out And went back a deuce And jokovic is a little bit annoyed at that. He's like, huh, man. I had the chance Had a chance But the drop shot coming to the rescue for car loss Deuce again His last two service games elk res have been Very tense And that's because it's no lie. He's putting the pressure on he knows That's what goats do Back to deuce As elk res serves Another fault second serve He serves now Into the back end of jokovic back in our elk res into the back end of nole To the forehand of elk res in the open court jokovic just gets it elk res with the volley too good Much too good much too good way too good That almost hit me in the head way too good And it's advantage He just had jokovic on the stretch From the start and then he just came to that put away the volley. I mean that was Elk res tennis Yep nerves Very nervous in the chat I see all right elk res to get to six five Serve out wide at the back end of jokovic that goes out elk res gonna play a tie break in the second set Or win the set and go to a third. That's the two things that could happen Man, oh man All right one hour played And elk res gets back that lead saves a couple of break points over the last few games By the way, don't forget to like and subscribe. Uh, we're gonna be back of course for the rest of this week also next week Rome we have so much tennis to watch next week. So, uh, make sure you do subscribe and join us uh for that as well Let's answer questions Jokovic definitely realizing he is up against someone special Yeah, but I think he knew that before he played uh Before he came out on court Yep, it is stupid o'clock, but that is just the way we roll Don't you think that it's weird to watch a match from behind those flowers? It would be annoying. Yeah, I know right? Surely you don't have to pay full price for those tickets Get a discount because you can't see Waiting for Novak to cry and break a racket. I don't think he's gonna do that unless he gets broken in this next game And plays bad. I mean jokovic has been pretty chill today. Hey, what's up, Stefano? I'm good man. How are you? Uh cars will definitely be the goat after Nadal I don't like throwing away the g thrown around the g word. Uh, just uh, uh, have that feeling that alquers can't win Yeah, look, it's no way because you play he's playing a goat. That's why that's why it's always Whenever they're playing goats Even yesterday, you know like alquers in that third set at the start of the third we're going You know rafa rafa could win this now. You know, that's what happens when you play goats Never over until it's over Uh, do you think no leh feins angered his strategy his opponent? I know I think he's uh, Generally an emotional player I don't think he pretends Like fakes emotion. I think he's pretty uh, pretty real with how he feels and Plays with his heart hard on his sleeve and all that stuff Okay No leh serving to get to the tie break He won the first set tie break I was going to return now alcars the four of jokovic four left from alcars into the back end of jokovic back end from alcars His drop shot alcars now Will jokovic gets it but puts it in the net alcars too good Another drop shot winner love 15 jokovic hates those Now we're going to be honest I think jokovic needs a new coach I don't think gorein is doing a job Not just because he you know jokovic hasn't played well in this year We know he hasn't played well because he hasn't played But I don't think gorein is the coach that no leh needs he's a great mentor and great like Back up from for what vita was But I just don't think I think no leh needs a coach that's a little bit more animated has been a drop shot there from alcars Oh, no way jokovic gets it alcars volley overcome winner love 30 Alcars starting to lift in this one Is he gonna snatch the set What do you guys think do you think gorein is good enough? Do you think gorein is good? I don't look I think jokovic needs someone who like Who gets fired up gorein is too flat He's too nervous looking He doesn't get energized. He looks very scared When jokovic is losing and that's the worst thing a coach can look if you know I think jokovic doesn't I think he should get someone else Or have gorein but get someone else as well, you know with him That's just my personal opinion There's been a back end a back end rally that goes in from alcars to the front of jokovic For me from alcars into the back end of no way back end of back end now is jokovic Again with the back end down the line in the net. Oh, no Love 40 Goran's like Don't worry about it He's like, yeah, yeah Don't stress Oh, he doesn't give me any confidence does If it is a bitch, he's just I look I don't think jokovic is like, yeah, thanks for the advice uh coach love 40 set points Alcares As he serves jokovic down the tier the corner of alcares good return jokovic to the four end down the line to the Back end of alcares into the back end of no way. That's a great shot from no way. That's a great shot from no way Down the line alcares couldn't get it back. What a gutsy shot from jokovic He saves one 15 40 he saves one in the most jokovic way as well. Still got two more though Alcars to take us to a third That jokovic serves. He's taking a lot of time, of course He serves a fault second serve Can alcars he's jumping around like he's about to Get in a fight his alcares Second serve jokovic into the four end of alcares four end from jokovic again to the four end of alcares Alcars going all out here as he has a four end down the line jokovic to the back end Goes into the back end of alcars four end from no later again to the back end of alcars drop shot jokovic runs runs He gets it alcars now with a four end down the line is going to be a winner. We're going to a third And alcars given the two fingers. He's like yep Let's go Let's go Oh alcars stills are set And we're going three, baby. We're going three Oh, man And the crowd are going they're chanting Carlos Carlos Exactly what All the neutral fans wanted. I know the jokovic fans didn't want that at all, but If you're a neutral fan, we're getting another set of this Let's go through the stats of that second set Six winners from jokovic six unforced errors Not bad. I mean look that's how he's been playing pretty much all day 19 winners from alcars 17 unforced errors now most of those winners were from the drop shots Getting those drop shots, you know five about five or six drop shot winners Alcars they look he figured out what jokovic was doing against him in the first set and he turned it around Credit to alcars. He turned around You know jokovic brought him down To the level of you know playing sloppy and he figured out okay Well now i'm going to start doing drop shots and being a little bit more a little bit more finesse to the ball and setting up The points better and also the serving of alcars helped as well. He served a little bit better in that second set Okay, alcars serving first and the third. Who's winning the third? Who is winning the third man I love this match. This match is so good. By the way, I can confirm that this match is officially The largest match, uh In madrid open history for us. So it beats yesterday's record The last three days we've set the record and then beaten at the next day So thank you everybody for uh for liking and subscribing and showing up to the match. We still have One more set one more set alcars. Oh, I love the celebration. He's lying out Let's get it. He's let's get it. Let's get it. I love it. I love it Alcars. Oh, it's such a refreshing shot in the arm for tennis. I love it All right, let's answer questions. Um, this kid's not going to back down. Yep. Uh, what else we got? I want no lay to win but Carlos will win. All right. Well, hey anything's gonna I mean who who knows what's gonna happen in the third Who knows If uh, Carlos serves well, he'll win rest of his game is superior I uh look I don't know about that I don't know about that Glad this matchup is bringing you more viewers. Hey, look, I'd be watching this if there's five people here and going just as nuts Because those five people there if there was only five people here You'd be going crazy too. I'm sure No, I mental strength, uh, an experience will prevail. Yeah, that's what I'm leaning towards that as well I think Djokovic's mental strength will Might edge it out if it gets close if Alcars gets a break early here. He could run away Um, he might get that confidence again I might get that. Uh, not a confidence, but that uh That uh, well, yeah confidence, you know that that confidence there. Unfortunately the best code for no leasing. Yeah You reckon Boris Boris back with the best coach for uh for no way 30 love by the way Alcars first game in the third. Yeah, look I think Boris would have been a good at complementary like it would be good to have with um Even is a bitch the reason why The reason why I think Djokovic and if I don't think even is a bitch is a good fit for Djokovic as a head coach Not saying ditched like I'm not saying get rid of his even is a bitch for good is because What Djokovic needs is he needs energy and reassurance? From his from his coach's box, you know, whenever he would look To his box, he would look at marion vita and marion vita would be on his feet going. Yeah, let's go no Let's go or he would be you know, you're going you can do this you've got this you've got this Goran doesn't do that. He sits there like Like he doesn't give Djokovic. What's he what he needs from a coach's box He might be a great coach and all that, you know off the court tell him how to hit serves technical all that shit But what Djokovic needs is someone He turns to when he's like what the hell am I doing and someone who can go you got this come on You know and give him that reassurance. That's what he needs He needs he's needed forever. He's needed it since he won the Australian up in 2008 when he looked to his family to get that same energy You know, he's needed that reassurance Unbelievable Unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. What makes Carlos so different He has the variety a compact game and lots of power Thank you for now for the uh For five. What makes him different? He has uh, he has the variety lots of power. Yeah. Yeah. Well, like you just said, he has all those things um But he also has I feel like he he he he knows He can win like he has the confidence then the guys like Zverev and uh, you know since he passed uh, you know f a a Rublev I think they don't believe In themselves that they can win. They're waiting for the ghosts to retire to go. Okay. Now we can win Elkres is like I want to win now Like I I don't care who's playing Nadal Djokovic. I don't care I want to win now and that's the difference. That is the difference for me. That's the difference He believes he can win against anybody He has that self belief One love by the way Elkres gets the first game whereas since he passed on all those other guys I think even though they might say that they have self-belief and they believe they can win I think deep down they don't believe they can beat goats to win slams. They have to wait for them to leave Medvedev's got the belief because he's done it now, you know, like the others Elkres has that already. He doesn't happen to without even playing them. He's already believes he can beat them um Two attendance is all about your b game. Yeah. Well, that's a good. That's a good thing as well. Yeah he's got Plan a plan b plan c d e He ha he can play Many different games if need be You know, he's not he's he's multi-dimensional, right? It's not like roublev who's one dimensional I know I always bring pick on roublev, but he's the most obvious example of someone who has one game Plan a and that's it As we get back to this here we go. Djokovic sir before I do the line. That's a good shot Elkres gets it back but pits are wide 15 love It's exactly the match that we wanted as well. This is this is Couldn't have scripted this any better. You know, we had that, you know, that Mine games in the first set, you know, Djokovic playing those mine games Then we had that Elkres comeback with that. Oh, you know that that uh self belief Well, we're gonna get in the third set 30 love two hours and 15 minutes played I Mean the only way this match can get any better Is if we have match points for one person and the other person wins That's the only way this match can can can can top the Some of the matches we've we've seen this year As we're back in a backhand rally. Djokovic down the line goes long Not a great shot from no late 30 15 unlike, you know I know we talk about the coaching situation a fair bit, but I guess who do you get? Who does Djokovic get to fill that gap that Vyda left? It's a massive gap Who do you get? That's a big question 30 15 is Djokovic serves into the back end of Elkres Foyner from Djokovic again in the back end of Elkres Into the front of no late who hits a wide Oh, man. Djokovic is hitting some errors now He's hitting some errors now 30 all Two hours 15 minutes played And Elkres, I mean we haven't had a breaks. Oh, sorry Elkres hasn't been broken since the first set Djokovic was broken at the end of the second Elkres looking to get a break early in the third as Djokovic serves a fault Second serve Djokovic serving second in this set is that going to be a problem? We'll see as he serves now to the front of Elkres backing out from Djokovic, but Elkres hit it in the net Not a great second serve return 40 30 Goran He looks like he's just spectating. He's looking like that was like he's like, oh, that was a terrible return. Oh, you're like He just he's just watching he's having a he's one of the he's a spectator 40 30 second serve Djokovic Yeah, look Mercer this I don't know what the stats are doing I They're not working today. I don't know what's up That's not the that's not the first episode. Trust me. There's been a back end a back end rally and Elkres hits it long and Djokovic gets The game And it's one one. All right Goran on his feet trying to encourage Nolay 10 minutes into this one. Yeah, I don't know what's I'm gonna have to talk talk to figure out what the stats are doing because It's not 96 97 sure. It's not it's uh, it might actually be broken On on all sites No, it's 64 for Djokovic and 69 for Elkres. So yeah, it's um It's not working. I don't know why it's all automatic. So 15 love Elkres wins the first point here at one one Who's gonna get the first break in this final set? The shadows are now covering the court. So the sun won't be much of a problem So we had a back end a back end rally. Djokovic to the slice that goes in To the final of Elkres and Djokovic guesses right with the forehand, but Elkres paints the line. Was that in it was in from Elkres Very risky, but very effective unbelievable 30 love as Elkres serves again to keep that lead It helped in the first set. I'm sorry in the second set as Djokovic slices that one in the net And it's 40 love It couldn't have worked any better serving first in the second. I mean, that's That's why serving first is like it is a is a uh an advantage Especially when you need To win the set or you need to win a match Definitely helps as we're returning Djokovic that goes out. What a game from Elkres One of the easiest games he's had for a minute And now he's got the lead again two one Okay, physical status of knowledge concerning I gotta be honest. I think Djokovic looks okay. I don't I don't see Djokovic looking too uh bothered Djokovic by the way, this is the by far the toughest match he's played all year Now this is the hardest match he's played and also the the highest level Uh, and also the most grueling match he's played. We gotta remember that Has played too many matches, but this one's probably I'd say this one's definitely the uh Definitely the one That's uh, the hardest one Higher lendo lendo's working with murry. I would have said the same because I think lendo and Djokovic would would match I think but but the problem is lendo doesn't travel I don't think lendo's in Like lendo hasn't traveled to watch murry. So I don't think lendo travels and I think Djokovic needs a traveling coach Because like I said, he needs to look at it. He needs to look at his box And see the crowd. I see his his crowd You know giving him that Giving him back that energy. How about lubechich? lubechich with fedora So lubechich ain't leaving fedora Great to see alchor is not affected at all by yesterday's fall or injury. Yeah, he's got I mean You can see the signs of it, but he's not affected by it. That's true alchor is lifting the game. Yeah, there he is matt's flander yeah, but matt's isn't a uh Isn't a isn't a traveling coach. I don't think matt's has even been a matt's flander ever been a coach He's on uh, he's a he's a tv um Commentator now, so I don't think he'd be wanted to give that gig up for a pay cut to go travel the world and never know if you're gonna have a job because if you have bad results for your player, you could be uh You could lose your job I think you'd rather have the comfort of going to slams and just watching tennis Much easier For rare could be interesting. Yeah, that'd be interesting. Anyway, jokovic serving Down the uh to the back end now of no lay is we get a back end a backhand rally cross court From alchor is again to the back end of jokovic to the back end of alchor is back of him no lay down the line This time that's a good shot alchor is on the stretch gets it But he hits it long nice from no lay 15 love By the way, we've got the women's final which was Going to start 20 minutes ago, but obviously now it's going to be after this one at the conclusion of this match. We'll go to that And we'll watch that alchor returns with a slice into the front of jokovic back in our alchor as into the back end of no low It's a drop shot in the net 15 all Alchor is with a fist bump winner of this will play Either this variable city pass now who to both these guys rather play in the final Alchor is rather play city pass. We know that But who would jokovic rather play? Who do you reckon? I have one I have a person in mind, but who do you think you'd rather play? It's variable city pass And give me a reason why Give me a reason why because uh That would uh, you know, maybe maybe you can open my eyes to something that I might not be seeing See from a different perspective, maybe As we're going to find out down the line that goes long from alchor as and it's 30 15 jokovic would rather play zvera if you think Because zvera is more prone to collapse Okay It's very over the inconsistencies all right I don't know. I feel like zvera in madrid is a different guy Like he's a bit a bit of a beast as very sorry jokovic with a volley alchor as with a pass down the line winner alchor as 30 all He's got no lander pressure again Have a Let me know in the chat as well. Has vera been alchor as ever played. I feel like they have maybe once right they played once Yeah, look, um Yeah, remember the olympics. I would say I would say he'd rather play city pass Yeah, I I I don't know he's vera been three sets. I don't think no lay would want to play him I'd rather I think he'd rather play city pass as well Which is what not what everyone else is thinking as we're back in now from alchor is down the line Here's a winner. This is gonna be all things to you and he just puts out the chest and looks up and goes. Yep That's how I play tennis. How do you like that? They played in vienna. Okay. There you go and now alchor as Has a break point A massive roar from alchor as he pumps out the chest It's very of leads the head to head to love. Yeah So then he definitely would rather play city pass 30 40 Break point his drug which serves and ace Goats doing goat things unbelievable. That's a goat doing a goat thing acing at Breakpoint down. That's how goats do it. That's that's why they're built different. That's why they goats They do things that no one else can do or do things that most of us can't do And that's serve your best serve under pressure. That's clutch. That is clutch back to deuce jokovic on to pressure He serves into the font of alchor as from jokovic again to the font of alchor as into the font of no lay in the back end now of alchor as back in our jokovic on the stretch in the net now alchor as Again gets a break point jokovic having a look at the ground because he was slipping and sliding advantage alchor as to take the lead in the third Can he get it? And because he's serving first the lead is going to be a big lead if he can hold after this game If he does get the break here It's going to feel like a mountain Advantage alchor as as we serve jokovic to the font of alchor as finer from jokovic into the back end of alchor as an alchor as hits it out Unforced error. That was a nervous backhand. He's like he knew it. He knew he added to he's like That was an easy backhand. What the hell man? Super annoyed at that. He's like, ah, I don't miss the easy one Back at doce jokovic with another serve Can he get that goat serve going? It's a fault second serve jokovic bounces the ball Taking all his time and he serves into the font of alchor as an alchor as hits it out Oh sloppy return On a second serve. He just Gives away the point jokovic gets to advantage jokovic with the advantage To level things up at two all In the for in the third set as he serves down the tee another fault jokovic second serve It's jokovic double faults Wow You don't see that very often double fault from no way And it's back to doce This feels like maybe this is the moment Maybe this is the moment for alchor as if he doesn't take it That's a good thing for jokovic. That means jokovic might be able to uh, that means alchor as might be thinking a I have my chances and I don't take him Got to take chances against the goats as he hits a fine Our jokovic in the open court at the back end of car losses We got a backhand from norway into the font of alchor as we got a fine a fine rally but jokovic hits it out Advantage alchor as to get the break alchor is trying to get the crowd involved as well And they go we will yell and scream yes Two hours 30 minutes played two one advantage alchor as jokovic serves Into the back end of alchor as back in now from norway Into the font of alchor as into the back end of jokovic Back in now from alchor as into the font of jokovic alchor is in control as he hits a drop shot jokovic runs gets it With the back end down the line alchor puts up the lob smash And norway puts it away And he pumps his fist to the sky with minimal applause because he's in spain And it's back to deuce That was a tricky smash. We know jokovic's smashes aren't the best But he gets out of that one He gets away with that one. I should say Back to deuce Massive game to start the third As he serves A fault been almost a 10 minute service game by the way second serve Will alchor as attack Nope He stands really far behind the baseline hits a forehand out And again, I I I question that I am I'm questioning the tactic Of standing so far behind the baseline on the second serve No, I don't understand why you would be you would give away that advantage You know by being five meters behind if you're that far behind the baseline, it's Doesn't seem on a second serve doesn't seem To really do anything. I mean you you're just kind of getting the ball back doesn't There's no benefit really Jokovic serves a great serve and he gets out of trouble. That was a huge game And it's two two Oh my god, we got the two two thousand likes You guys are too much. Thank you so much everybody. Thank you for subscribing as well We're uh On our way to a hundred thousand subscribers by the end of the year But uh, thank you for everyone out there. Thanks for the support Hope you're enjoying the match as much as me. I love it. I love this This is why we stay up all night to watch these matches As alchores hit the great serve And it's 15 love two hours 32 minutes played Now alchores did play a marathon against raffa yesterday So he's having back-to-back matches here against not only goats, but also Long goat matches as he's a very nice serve volley alchores. Wow All right, 30 love the best thing alchores can do here is win this game as quickly as possible Put the pressure straight back on jokovic. You just play for 10 minutes in his last game So alchores doing the right thing here 30 love That's where to serve now from Alchores into the back into jokovic for now alchores Is wide Pulled the trigger just misfired 30 15 I'm sure I just joining us alchores has been the better player in this third set He's had break points. He had his chances in the last game. He's he served better He hasn't besides the first game where he was under pressure for a little bit last two service game He's been okay Jokovic has been the one who's had to fight harder in this third, but You know no lay Has fought And with that effect alchores down the track is we got a final from jokovic into the back end of alchores Into the back end of no lay back in from alchores down the line now to the front of jokovic into the front of alchores Into the back end now of jokovic as we had a back end a back end rally jokovic hits it into the net 40 15 Alchores can't do much wrong at the moment He's just out playing jokovic, which is something he couldn't do in the first set. He couldn't figure it out Now he's figured it out and now it's back to jokovic to see what he can respond with because I feel like alchores has figured out the game of jokovic and how he was messing with jok with alchores mind 40 15 First serve is a fault second serve To the back end of jokovic on the second serve back end a back end is now we get a four line from alchores down the line wide 40 30 40 30 Can alchores keep the lead? 40 30 Chance to go up three two here As he serves the back end of jokovic four now alchores goes out doce Great serve had the forehand, but he just misfired All right now jokovic with a half a chance here And he's jumping around he knows he's like all right. All right Maybe it's my turn to break Every point crucial here is jokovic stands really far behind the baseline alchores serves Down the middle to the back end of jokovic Hit the moon ball into the front of alchores for now from jokovic to the front again of alchores jokovic slipped over though Oh, that's unlucky No way slipped on the clay and alchores. It's a winner jokovic looks down. He's like All right And he hit his hand jokovic He smacked his knuckles on the ground. He might have cut them up I think he has He's walking to the chair to wipe So I guess to wash the uh, he would have I mean look if you've ever I mean it's not hard to Scrape your hands on the clay and he's what he's washing his hand in olé. It's on his right hand as well, which is not a good thing Yeah, he's Shaking it off Crowder giving him shit for it, but hey come on now Yeah, no way just slammed his slammed his knuckles on the ground as he slipped Got his hand caught between his racket on the ground which Never never feels good As he serves down the team now alchores jokovic return drop shot is too good from alchores jokovic doesn't even try He's like whatever you can take it. I don't care three two alchores In the final set Alchores is just a hype. All right Well, you think he's the 2022 carative Take care no lay. I want alchor one car leaders to win but Against a healthy no lay. All right Can alchores win wimbledon? No, I don't know. What's his club? What's his grass court record? I don't know Um, hey cam don't know if you realized it, but a lot of people are here Um I also always I usually see a thousand people. Hey look, that's still a lot of people. Thank you everyone who's here appreciate the love Hopefully you're uh, you if you can't watch the match. Hopefully you're feeling it Through uh through the through the commentary. Uh, this could be a french open semi or a final Yeah, it could be wouldn't it? I wish it was it'd be five sets then can you imagine Five sets of this Uh drop shots are seriously carrying right now the drop shots Have been the difference for alchores Uh, you know, he didn't hit too many drop shots in the first set the drop shot has definitely Helped him come back. That's for sure. The drop shot's been a big factor By the way, the uh, we've got the the doctor out on court And his knuckle is all uh is cut up. So jocobish getting some uh, some treat It's a treat, but oh jocobish has just been forced to take a medical The umpire said jocobish is taking a medical and jocobish like What do you mean? I didn't say medical So he's been forced to take a medical timeout jocobish The umpire's called a medical timeout That's interesting The umpire called the medical timeout. No, he's like excuse me. I didn't say anything And then no like so when what happened was uh jocobish Went to went to Move out to a forehand and he slipped Hit his knuckles on the ground Uh, his bracket got caught between his uh, the handle and the ground and it scratched scratched his knuckles Um, let's have a look in slow mo As he put his foot down to push off he slipped And his hand just went bang into the ground And he's he grazed his knuckles. So he's just getting some treatment on that Um, but the umpire has the discretion to to call a medical timeout Um, if there is a if there's bleeding So if there's like rhodokhanu remember rhodokhanu in the us open final uh, the reason why The reason why her you know remember when she banged her knee and she scratched her knee She had to get a medical timeout because when if the player is bleeding The umpire can call a medical timeout on behalf of the player Because god forbid they see blood on the screen, you know Yeah, if they're bleeding, it's a medical timeout Uh, was it the same spot that alcares went down yesterday? No alcares didn't slip he tripped. So that was a different different bit different um alcares alcares didn't slip uh jocobish Slipped on the clay like put his foot down and it gave way whereas alcares like His toe got caught he he tripped. All right medical timeout over jocobish Bandaged up just on his hand It's on his right hand. So let's see if that affects his uh See if it affects him Two hours and 41 minutes played by the way jocobish with the serve Out wide to the finder of alcares good return back enough from jocobish into the finder of alcares Into the slice of no later no lay puts it in the net Love 15 Now no, he's been under pressure on serve in this set alcares has uh, you know, he's he's done a little better Jocobish has been the one who's had to fight though You wonder how many times is alcares going to get a chance to break and not take it Because jocobish isn't going to give him chances every game Well, you hope you hope not right if you're a no lay fan I was going to back in now from jocobish going into the finder of alcares great Foreign from alcares is jocobish comes to the net alcares with the pass no lay with the volley alcares is going to get it But put in the net Too good from no lay unbelievable Great volley 15 all Needed that one really needed that one 15 all I mean if he doesn't hit that volley jocobish that Turns out to be 30 love 30 enough I'm gonna say this match goes over three hours I just got a feeling Served entity into the back end of alcares finder from jocobish the fort of alcares into the fort of no lay on the stretch And that goes out from no lay alcares 15 30 another tough game for jocobish Another game he has to fight 15 30 alcares Is playing the way he wants now he is playing his style now We're worried about that in the second set. We're going. Hey look alcares not playing his game. He's playing his game now He's found it As jocobish serves in the back end of alcares drop shot from no lay in the net. Oh, no Not a great idea from no lay And two more break points for alcares to take the lead In the third Yep This guy's nervous Another break point for alcares to take the lead in the third 15 40 jocobish Serves in the tee a massive serve He saves one There go serve at the right time 30 40 Another break point for alcares to take the 4-2 lead In the final set is jocobish Serves again Down the tee good serve alcares returns falling out from jocobish to the back end slice of alcares jocobish in control as he hits the forehand into the front end of alcares back in our jocobish open court Alcares runs gets it but it goes in the net jocobish survives Again another two big first serves and some just great play from jocobish on the ground And he survives again And you wonder how many more chances is carlos gonna get How many more because we know no goats don't give out chances Too many chances If you don't take him That's at your own risk because we had a second serve now from jocobish Bouncing the ball a lot here no like taking a lot of time as he says into the point of Alcares point of jocobish is a winner. Wow that second serve is very close to the line Everyone was like paused for a second going hang on. See was that in was that in? Even I was like confused Anyways, no way survives And he puts in another first serve and wins another point advantage To get the three all in the final set Bouncing the ball here Can you get another free point? He serves in the back end of alcares final from jocobish into the front of alcares to the forehand of jocobish, but alcares hits it out No, that hits a winner anyway And alcares not happy 33 Great great serving four first serves from jocobish down 1540 wins the game That's called clutch. What's clutch mean cam? It means producing your best tennis under pressure when you need it the most And know about jocobish does that better than anybody in the history of the game? Nadal's pretty damn close But I mean how many championship points does jocobish save to win matches, right? win wooden That's just a number one So don't see the back end of jocobish final from alcares is out Okay, love 15 And I did say in the last game a couple of games ago. How how many chances Is it going to take for alcares to break and if he doesn't break Is he going to feel like man, I should be winning. I should have broken And that could get into his own head That does happen if you have those chances you don't take him Messes with your mind Return now from jocobish on the back end and then we're going to drop shot from alcares jocobish gets to the Forehand into the back end of alcares jocobish can't get the volley alcares too good gets away with that serve volley attempt 15 all No, they just couldn't get the volley As he came in Oh, I don't forget to subscribe like the video as well. We're almost at 85,000. That's insane I don't think we'll get there today, but thank you everyone who has subscribed Welcome to all the new people here. Welcome to all the people coming back What a match this has been as we're gonna find out from alcares that goes out 15 30 Alcares has been pretty good on serving this set Hasn't been under pressure much Not like this not like this 15 30 It's alcares serves needs a first serve He gets it to the back end of jocobish find it from alcares and jocobish slips again He went to take off and his foot just gave way and he's like I can't even I'm never gonna try and get to that one 30 all both players have won exactly The same amount of points 104 each And look at the score. It's exactly the same Almost almost exactly the same Pretty much Serve down to the back end of jocobish that goes out good serving To get out of trouble alcares 40 30 40 30 at this stage City pass versus vera will start at midnight That match is going to go into the wee hours So the winner of this match is going to play a guy who's stayed up all night pretty much As we had a fault there from Alcares second serve And that's assuming the ladies match goes just as long which it could You know jobor versus uh Pagola could go for three hours as well back into the line and alcares is in the net And we're a deuce We're a deuce If an isavich picking at his beard I'm wondering what is going on How can we beat this kid? massive points coming up here alcares serves Out wide to the front of jocobish back in alcares is out no lay with a great return And we've got a break point for jocobish And he's jumping around no lay. He knows It's go time Advantage jocobish Hasn't had a break since the first set He broke back at four three to get back in that set to take the lead in the final set For the first time as alcares serves into the back end of jocobish and that's wide Oh Serve volley from alcares and jocobish hit the ball wide on the return There was a chance There was a chance there Jocobish has made that shot a million times. We've seen it Not today not now Alcares survives back to deuce Alcares with a serve into the back end of jocobish In now to the forehand of alcares and he waited to jocobish move that was smart He saw jocobish go this way and he hit the ball this way. That was that was smart very smart advantage alcares He just waited saw jocobish take one step this way and he went that way Not easy to do that Advantage alcares to get the lead back He serves a fault Second serve alcares serves the back end of jocobish back in our alcares is a drop shot no He's there though as he hits a slice alcares with a volley in the net and That was probably one of the silliest times in a drop shot because jocobish Was almost inside the baseline And he was there. I mean no lay was there. I don't care how good your drop shot is if you're inside the baseline And you're jocobish you're probably gonna get it Alcares just may be getting a little bit too Overconfident with these drop shots back to deuce As he hits a fault second serve Huge game this one As alcares serves into the back end of jocobish And that go just goes out from no lay Whoa We've seen that shot go in a bunch as well not then Just goes long alcares surviving to take the lead serve From alcares to the back end of jocobish back in our alcares again to the back end of no Lay as alcares hit the forehand into the front of jocobish to the front of alcares Finer from jocobish again to the front of alcares as alcares hit the tape and it goes out no lay slipped over again He left and he was gonna leave it because he thought alcares hit a winner. He's like, oh, whatever back at deuce Let me know in the chat Who's winning this final set and what is the score gonna be? I wanted to tell me what is the score gonna be Is it gonna be far six four? It's gonna be seven five Is it gonna be a tie break? Who's gonna win the tie break if it is gonna be a tie breaker? Let me know What do you reckon? Let's see who can guess right because we're right smack bang in the middle of this final set Return from jocobish good server and a volley But jocobish is gonna challenge the serve And he knows it's in Jocobish knows the serve was in he's like whatever you've won the point. You cannot be serious good serve Great serve from alcares Six four no lay six three no lay six three alcares. Okay seven six no lay Okay A lot of scores. Let me know in the chat. What do you reckon? We'll see who gets it right at the end Someone's gonna get it right. I'm sure Can alcares get the game advantage alcares? He serves out wide at the back of jocobish find out from alcares in the open court as a winner alcares survives In style And he keeps jocobish away for another game. He's like hey stay back no lay Don't come at me bro. Don't come at me Alcares Regains the lead or at least keeps the lead He keeps the lead. All right. Let's see what you guys are saying. We've got six four six two six. We'll come Be six two six four six three Alcares you reckon alcares is gonna break here and then win the match All right. We could happen seven five alcares 70 68 that's impossible uh seven six, okay six four alcares Six three alcares seven five alcares and not many no lays where the hell was jocovic. No jocovic fans We're seven six no lay there we go Gonna say what the hell everyone's thinking alcares gonna take this. Where's where's jocovic fans? Where you at? How long is this match? It's been two hours and 55 minutes Seven six no lay okay Okay, no lay needs an easy game to keep the pressure on for himself. Yes Jocovic needs a good game here. I reckon he needs a quick game Seven six no lay. All right Six loving a doll. It's what? You're 20 you're 24 hours behind. Sorry. That was yesterday Uh, but welcome to the future uh seven six six four Seven five no lay a lot of seven five seven five no lay does have a does does have a feel I feel that That I don't know what it is when so we're not here seven five no jocovic I like I got a I got a I don't know Something about that something about that score. I don't know. I know It's going to be a draw What this isn't football No, we'll find out we'll find out in the next 20 or so minutes as we're gonna find out maybe 30 As we're back in now from elk res jocovic comes there with the back end and that's oh, it's out Oh, no lay missed the easy one He pushed it wide love 15 Love 15 He missed the easy one Didn't need to try and go for the line love 15 no Speaking in the crowd. It's dead silent as jocovic serves a fault Second serve Belchers does win this game. He serves for the match So it's a massive game every game is massive from now on There's been a back end return out of the form of jocovic form from elk res. Oh jocovic hits it out. Oh, wow Two errors from no lay on the ground strokes and it's love 30 This is the opposite of what jocovic needed He needed an easy game Now he's gonna have to work his butt off Love 30 elk res is six points away from the final and beating back to back goats Does anyone know when the last time two goats lost back to back? And who was that player that did it? Elk res by the way that did look like it was in And that serve was in right I think And they're not gonna challenge We're gonna get a replay jocovic was very unhappy about that. He was like that serve was out by the way elk res Should I mean what is happening that ball was out the serve was out They're gonna replay the point So the lines person was right the umpire stuffed that up Anyway, it's great serve from jocovic And elk res hits it out Wow interesting turn of events It turns out to be a good first serve from no lay it could have been a second serve elk res It loved 30 second serve that could have happened Let's see if that makes any difference 15 30 jocovic serves A fault That one was a fault second serve Oh, is that a double? No, it hit the line Oh massive second serve from no lay 30 all he gets it to that was a huge second serve Whoo That's what gore gore aren't taught him that 30 all and guess what? three hours played elk res looking to get the break jocovic's looking to survive as he serves a let every point is massive Crowd know it. That's why they're not saying a word As jocovic serves a fault Oh, man second serve jocovic he serves Into the forehand of elk res back in there from no lay into the back end of elk res to the back end of jocovic Slice from elk res is good jocovic to the slice comes in elk res to the pass in the net from elk res Oh, he had it he had it as well Oh, he had a look at the pass and he missed it In the net 40 30 no lay survives Oh, what a match If this goes to a tiebreaker in the third set It's got to be close to match of the one of the matches of the year three set match of the year Serve out wide is a fault It's hard to make it's hard to say it when we just had nadal versus gofan, which was just as intense I feel like it needs to be a tiebreak to be like that one then again this matches You know it's had its fair share of drama already Maybe it doesn't need a shootout to finish To be the best match of the year so far Serving out of the back end Of elk res fauna from jocovic the font of elk res who hits it out and again no lay survives four four In the final set who's going to win it who wants to win it Will experience prevail or will fearless youth prevail Someone's gonna win Someone's gonna win for all Will elk res be able to hold his nerve? I mean this is He's about to do something that Hardly anyone does and that's beat back-to-back goats two day one day apart. I mean Who beats nadal jocovic back-to-back? When was the last time that happened on a clay court? Like I don't even I don't even know did that has that ever happened has anyone beaten nadal jocovic back-to-back on clay as we're back in now from Uh jocovic down the line to the point of elk res and elk res hits it out love 15 Is this where no lay breaks is this the part where no lay Becomes the goat we all know it will the goat he is right Is this when he shows that Goats are different Love 15 by like this is the best match jocovic just played all year. So this is you know The her catch match was great, but in terms of like You know, he doesn't look tired He hasn't played as good as he played maybe earlier this week, but still the great It's a good it's a return for jocovic jocovic's back He's back if he can compete with this kid who's in on fire this year No lays back even win or lose. He's back Has been a back in a backhand rally down the line now from jocovic good shot elk res gets it for him from jocovic elk res puts up the lob, but it goes out love 30 No lay stepping up He is stepping up Now jocovic is six points away from the win And the crowd are trying to get involved and trying to push elk res one last time Push him into the next game Love 30 elk res needs a first serve He gets one to the back end of jocovic back in our elk res good shot to the back end of nole He goes down the line elk res gets a just for now from jocovic in the net and no lay knows that was a massive weight a massive miss because He's made a career on those shots 15 30 None of the first serve needed from elk res He takes a couple of deep breaths.

I think he's afraid that elk res is gonna hit a forehand Flicked win across court. So he doesn't want to go out wide As he serves down the tee good serve the backhand goes out I've seen that in this final set jocovic's go-to serve on the dooside when he's under pressure has been down the tee To the elk res backhand and like I said, I think it's because if he serves out wide Elk res could just whip the winner past him and that's not what jocovic wants And look hey, it's worked For jocovic's worked Lady in the back yawning. Excuse me uh What? Three uh four three elk res with a mini break he serves into the back end of jocovic and jocovic hits it out five three elk res He had a match point to get into the tie break.
