 Welcome to the final of the French Open, the last match of the tournament. We've watched a lot of tennis this week and last week, and it's down to this. Rafa versus Casper, it's Nadal versus Rude, and it doesn't start for about 45 minutes, but because we can start a little bit earlier, we've got a special guest who is gonna talk about and help us understand a little bit about what's happened this week, because we've had a lot of injuries. We all know about the injury of his Verve, we know the injury to Fernandez, we watched her fight through that injury, but we also have a lot of questions you guys throw at me about Rafa, and I'm not qualified to answer them, so I've got someone who can answer the questions that you guys throw at me every day. So we're gonna get the foot Dr. Zach on now, so there we go. What's going on, man? Thanks for joining us. Hey, how's it going? Thanks for having me, hey everybody. No worries. So if you guys don't know, fucked Dr. Zach, YouTuber as well about how many, maybe you can go through your channel a little bit more than me. Yeah, I basically just cut open tennis shoes, basketball shoes, pickleball shoes, whatever you play on on a court. I cut it open, but I am a practicing foot doctor, so I usually look at it from that perspective as well as the next college tennis player, more of a hacker at this point, so. Awesome, awesome. So yeah, so I know you've got a couple of videos that go through the Rafa stuff, the Rafa foot. I think that's where I first saw your channel probably about, when did he, about midway through last year, so about 12 months ago. And obviously that's a continuous injury, but we get asked about that all the time, but let's start with Vera, because that was the worst thing I've seen live on a tennis court for a long time. What, I guess the first thing is, what's the difference between, he thinks it might be a ligament tear, it did look like it could be broken, he could have broken his ankle, what's the kind of the difference between the two and severity of the two, is there one worse than the other? Yeah, I mean, honestly, in terms of long-term prognosis, bad ankle sprains are worse than breaks. When you break a bone, I mean, he's young and healthy, so it's predictable healing, you know, bones heal about four to six weeks and then they solidify around eight weeks, so it's pretty solid around eight weeks. And that's usually it, as long as there's no deformity, as long as it's not pushed one way or the other, heals and that's how you go about your day. With a ligament sprain or a ligament tear is what he had. Those are unpredictable injuries because long-term, once you tear a ligament, the little nerve endings in the ligament, which tell your brain where your foot is in space. A lot of times they scar, they don't work anymore, and so you can end up with what we call chronic instability, which just means your ankle just doesn't really know where to plant, where to stop, kind of what muscles to start firing to keep you centered. So it looks like with him, he said the MRI showed multiple ligament tears. On the outside of your ankle, you only have three. The front one, the one in the very front part of your ankle, that's the most common one, like when you hear people say I have an ankle sprain, you do that one. If you start going back, like back behind your ankle, those other two ligaments, if you start tearing those, that means that now your foot can start rotating like this on your leg, and that's not good. So a lot of times those will require surgery later on down the road, or in his case, if it's that bad, they may actually go in there and put artificial ligaments in just primarily just to try to get them back up and moving quicker. I have no idea, you know, I have to look at this MRI, but as of right now, he's probably looking at a couple of weeks of really bad swelling. We'll probably have him in a compression dressing for a while, no weight on it whatsoever. And then whatever they do, the most important thing is gonna be his rehab. Because if you don't train those nerves that are laying inside that ligament to work again, you're looking at chronic repeated ankle sprains, you're having to wear a brace, you know, an ankle brace for the rest of your career, which does slow you down a lot, so. Okay, awesome. So I guess like, let's say it is a bad, the worst case scenario, what do you reckon, we reckon he's out for the season? Like, that could be a season ending injury? Yeah, probably. Yeah, probably, I mean, maybe the indoor season would probably be a goal if it's not, if it's not as bad as he's, because I mean, a lot of times, you know, when they say multiple ligament, or multiple ligament tear, you're not sure if they actually mean it's torn, or if it's just sprained or stretched. I mean, it's hard to tell sometimes. On TV, a lot of times his injuries look a little more gruesome than they really are, just because of how the camera catches them. So I would say I'd be doubtful of the US Open, but I think it is, I mean, you know, he's got access to the best rehab specialists in the world. So I would assume by indoor season, he can probably go unless it is as bad as, you know, it looks on TV, then he might just try to rehab for next season. But if he makes it to the, if he makes it to the US Open, then that's a pretty good effort. Okay, awesome. So, and then like, if he does come back, I mean, they could be braces and they could be, is there any thought, like, is it like, has he come back with like a weaker ankle that like down the track could happen again, or is it sort of, it always, okay. Yeah, yeah, with ligaments are the worst. I mean, ligaments are just really hard to heal. So, you know, when skin heals, a lot of times you can't see, I mean, this is really about the scar. Not that you can't see it afterwards. When a bone heals, sometimes it's really on an X-ray, it's really hard to see if it's, if it was ever broken or not, if it sets properly. With a ligament though, it scars in really haphazardly that the tissue just doesn't, it's just not a good tissue for healing. And so, you know, if you just open up the ankle and just like look at it, you could always tell it was sprained or it was torn. It's got scars in so bad. And then, like I said, it's not just that, but it's the effects on your nerves and basically the connection between your brain and your foot. And so, if those little nerves in that ankle are in that scar ball, it's just, there's really, there's no way to tell what kind of instability issues he'll have. Now, it's a good thing he's not like Diego Schwartzman who just needs to run back and forth all the time and slide like crazy. He can rely a little more just on power. So, the other thing is though, it's gonna affect his second serve again. So you probably watch after him double fault and like crazy again because it's gonna throw off his timing for a little while too. So, that'll be interesting to see kind of what that does to that shot, which has already been super suspect. That's some stuff you really, that's a lot of things you don't think about because your timing starts getting off too. So, kind of see what happens there too. Okay, there you go. So, everybody in the chat, that's how, that's, I think we've covered this very stuff. We'll find out, it's still, I think yesterday, I don't know if he's come out with anything today, but yesterday he came out with it, could be torn, he's gonna get more scan. So, it's still kind of a developing story, I guess. But, next one, Fernanda. So, Fernanda's a strange one. I don't know if you've, it sort of flew under the radar a little bit until probably, I mean, I didn't know that she came in with a bad foot. I think her dad came out on Canadian TV and said something about that she was heard in the match, a couple of matches before. So, it's come out that she's got a grade three stress fracture. So, what is that? What is a grade three stress fracture on the top of her foot? So, there's a few different systems we classify stress fractures in, but I think with the one they're talking about. So, number one is just really, you don't really have any symptoms, but you look on an X-ray and the bone is swollen. Right, it's basically a grade one you can really only tell by getting an X-ray. And that's just where the bone is swollen. It looks a little bit whiter on X-ray than normal. The second stage is where you have swelling in the bone, which is like the, in the marrow in the center of the bone in the canal, all the blood flows. You have swelling in there and pain, which means you're stepping on it. You're like, man, something feels like my foot's maybe cramping a little bit. Is there something in my shoe? Which is constant, it's kind of like a dull ache. And then a grade three is where you actually start to see the bone starting to fracture. Not necessarily a break where it just breaks like this, where it just snaps like a celery stick, but the bone just can't handle your weight anymore. And so you actually start to see these lines up here in the bone to where the bone just isn't sufficient enough to hold you up anymore. And that's a grade three. And if you keep playing on that, which you really can't because it hurts so much, but if you keep playing on that, that's when the bone either crumbles or it snaps like a twig. And so she's at, yeah, I actually saw a picture. I don't know if you can see this in the chat, but that's her and her shoe. Yeah, yep. This is not great. I mean, if I put someone in this shoe, I'd be burned at the stake by my malpractice insurance agent. If it were me, should be in a boot. I'm not, that surgical shoe there is usually what we put people in that have like a toe break or we do toe surgery on or something. So I'm hoping that's just what she's wearing to protect herself from like when she's on a couch or something from, you know, from any pressure. But typically with a grade three stress fracture, you're in a walking boot to take all the pressure off of your foot. But the good part about a stress fracture is it doesn't really require any treatment besides making sure you're getting enough vitamin D in calcium and laying off of it. That's it. Stress fractures are not the same as a real break like a real fracture. Whereas a real break, it's force. It's something doing it to your twisting and it finally snaps. Whereas the stress fracture is it's doing too much of the same motion over time. And you're not allowing your body to rebuild bone because bone builds up and dissolves and builds and dissolves over and over and over again all day long your whole life. And if you are doing the same repetitive motion that one part of one bone is usually in your foot or something that's in your leg. And what happens is you're not giving that part of your bone enough time to absorb the bone and you pee it out and then make new bone, make stronger bone. And so that's why you see a lot of ping pong players, a lot of table tennis players get stress fractures because they're in that one position all the time and tennis players just because we're up on the balls of our feet so much. So that's kind of what we talk about stress fractures. But like I said, it's a simple recovery. Just lay off of it and just make sure you're getting enough sunlight. That's it. Okay. I think I heard that maybe it was sort of, I think August she'll come back. I think that was like the case. That makes sense. Yeah. So I think that'll be hopefully to just lay off and come back for the US Open Series. And I guess, should she have retired because her dad was saying, hey, you should have retired. Don't play on that. Would you have said, yes, don't play on that. That's terrible. You made it worse by doing it? Well, kind of a no. So if you have a grade three stress fracture, that's as bad as it's gonna get in terms of stress fractures. But she could have taken one more step and she could have snapped that thing and then she'd need a plate and screws. And then that's a much longer recovery. That's a lot more scarring. Remember a stress fracture, it's typically there's no scarring afterwards. There's really no evidence that ever happened. You can just go back to, you know, like it never happened after it heals. Whereas if you have a stress fracture and then you have all that real kind of angry bone and then it breaks and you're playing tennis while it's happening, it's probably gonna displace, which means it's probably gonna go out of alignment, which means it probably has to be put back in. Then that's plate and screws. That's a lot of scar tissue. Now you're going through the skin. Now you're recovering from surgery. So that's a whole other can of worms. You know, you can get infection risk. So it's just there's so much more risk once you get to that point. Typically when I see people, they're in grade two. The bone is swollen. You can start to see something's going on. They're complaining that dull pain. And we tell them to shut down then because it's so much easier to heal when you just have a swollen bone. I mean, that's super easy to heal. When you get to the later stages we're actually seeing stuff on x-ray. That's when we're like, okay, the next step you take this thing could go. And I remember so vividly back in, when I was in school, when I was in medical school, and we had a ping pong table in one of the student lounges and there was someone saying, oh, my foot's hurting and we're like, I'm gonna be a foot doctor. I'm like, get off of it. And all of a sudden just stepped one direction in the wrong way, snap. Now is it eight weeks surgery and everything? So it can happen that quick. Okay, so yeah, so I guess she was lucky that because it was hurting in like the first 20 minutes and she played for at least another two hours. So she was lucky not to, I mean, on clay it's already slippery, right? So, all right. So she plays also a lot softer than a hardcore. So that's, if she was at the US Open or the Rogers Cup or something, yeah, that probably wouldn't have gone. So. Okay. Awesome. Oh, well, yeah. I mean, yeah, she's out, both of them are out. We don't know about Zverev, but she's out until August at the best, I think. They're hoping for August, but I guess it depends on how long she gets out of it. If she gets out of that wimpy looking shoe, she'll be back by August, but someone's gotta tell her coach or dad or whoever is taking care of her now to get her in a real boot. So. And okay, so the last person we're gonna talk about with their foot is Rafa. Now, Rafa's had this since 05, pretty much in his entire career. You've got great videos on this, talking about how it's happened, what it is, the condition it is. Now, this week I've been asked, is the humidity gonna get affected? Is the cold gonna affect it? Is the heat gonna affect it? The weather conditions affected. And I guess he's kind of, we said that clay courts are a little bit softer than the hardcore. So I guess clay would be better for him. Maybe just go into a little bit of detail on that, Rod. That's a good question ever asked about the weather. So I'm sure he has arthritis. So yeah, I mean, arthritis is a weather predictor. So cold, damp temperatures are gonna make it worse. Warm temperatures usually help. It's not gonna do anything to the bone, but it'll just make it hurt worse or make it feel better. So that's a great question. Because arthritis is a weather predictor because the barometric pressure can affect your joints in the air. So that's a good question. Clay is gonna be the best surface. I mean, grass is nice and soft, but it's so slippery that subconsciously, I mean, whoever's in the chats played on grass, you'll know when you're on there, usually afterwards your foot muscles are kind of sore, your feet's kind of sore because you're constantly kind of grabbing with your toes because just in your mind, you know that it's a little slippery. There's a little bit of dew on that grass all the time. It's not the most stable. You don't have a lot of confidence. So when you're on grass, you're using those muscles a lot and so you're tensing up the joints. So grass is actually, even though it's soft, isn't a great surface. Whereas on clay, as long as you've got reliable herringbone, which he does, I mean, obviously, he's having shoes custom made for him all the time. So his shoes aren't gonna be a problem and he's playing on the best clay in the world, you know, the best maintained clay in the world. So confidence-wise, you know, it's nice and soft. It's good on his joints and you can slide into shots, which just takes so much pressure off your foot muscles and your foot joints. So clay definitely is the best surface for this. That's probably the reason why he's able to play as well as he has. I remember for the French, who was it in the Italian open? I forget, but he was saying, he's still in constant pain. He's like, I'm sure if he's gonna play the French. So I mean, he's, you know, every day he's dealing with this, this isn't like, you know, he feels fine one day and all of a sudden it just pops up, ow, I'm hurting. I mean, it's a constant pain. And it's probably been a constant nagging thing probably since his early 20s. I think when you're a teenager, you can probably just block it out. But I think as, you know, as he started playing on the circuit and he's on hard courts, you know, cycling through hard courts every year, which are really hard on your joints. He's probably been feeling this for a long time. I mean, you know, after reading a lot about it to make the videos about the idea, I got a lot more, I mean, you know, he's an impressive character as it is, but I had a lot more respect for him just kind of knowing how debilitating that is and seeing people to barely walk as a result of it. And, you know, he's playing professional tennis at the highest level, you know, which is, it's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. And some would argue the greatest player to ever play tennis and it could have ended, it could have ended in 0-5 and with one slam, now he's got right gone for 22. Wrap it up because I can see that Zoom's yelling at me, but get a prediction. Who's going to win today? Who's going to win the final? Can Rafa lose? I think, I think Nadal has already won the match, to be honest, you know, I think the moment is just a little bit too big. So I think, you know, a lot of these finals where it's a first-time finalist against, you know, one of these legends that are still playing, I think the match has already won for Rafa. So I could be wrong, but, you know, how do you bet against him? You know, it's impossible. And it seems like he's moving really well. So I think as long as he's moving well, I can't see us going more than four sets, if that. Yeah. I think that was the constant. That's what I want on the same page. Maybe four sets if Rud gets the first or second, but Rafa all day. Awesome. So guys, go check out Zach, for Dr. Zach, we've got the hashtag, the tag there. I'll put the link in the chat. Again, we're going to be back in about two minutes time to get ready for the match, but thanks mate for joining us, a very, very short notice. And we'll have to get you back on again for maybe some Q and A with the chat or for more injuries in the future, because there's always going to be injuries. There's always injuries. Is Zach, thanks again guys for jumping, for hanging out. And we're going to get, we might get Zach on again for a more of a Q and A. So if you guys have questions, it's a little bit rushed obviously because we're at the final coming up, but it was nice enough to jump on last minute. As soon as this very stuff happened, I sent a message saying, hey, let's connect. Let's have a chat. Here's his link again. Go follow him on YouTube. Also, if you're into NBA, it's a great, you guys are into all different sports, but NBA, tennis, the shoe reviews, cut shoes in half. He does all kinds of cool stuff. So jump over there. Here's the link again guys for Zach. And again, big shout out to Zach for jumping on and giving us a massive insight into all the questions that you guys asked me that I'm too stupid to answer. So get the experts to answer. But go check him out. But yeah, and like I said, we'll get him on again. We'll get him on again with a little bit more of a Q and A with you guys. I reckon get you guys, because I know those questions flying through that I did miss, but we're on a little bit of a tight schedule with this final coming up. But yeah, there you go. There's the link. Go check him out. Now, let's get into this. Let's answer questions. I've got to press some buttons. Hang on a sec. Get everything set up again. How are we doing? How are we going? We're ready? We're ready for the final? Thanks for that interview. No worries. It was, I mean, everyone was asking me yesterday in the streams, especially about Ravis Foot is how big of a problem is that gonna be. You guys are asking me about Zverev. So I referred to the experts. We take our best guess, but Zach's got an established YouTube channel to cover it all. Yeah, I feel bad for Zverev for sure. I mean, yeah, it could be. Who knows? We'll find out over the next week probably how bad Zverev's feeling, but yeah. All right, Coco won the doubles. Did she come back? I thought Coco lost in three. I must have missed the last 10 minutes of that match. Will there be discord chat like yesterday? Maybe. I've got to just figure out when this finishes. Probably at the end of this, we'll jump on the discord and check it out and have a chat with you guys at the end. I don't know what's not why. It's not too bad. There we go. Thank you, Rowdy and Vims. Root has only won five of 21 matches against ATP Top 10s. There you go. Injury talks makes me nervous and overthink. Yeah, well, it's good to get clarification on this stuff. So at least we kind of, well, we can get ahead of it. So then when Zverev does announce what's wrong, we can go, ah, yeah. We thought we heard, you know, Dr. Zach gave us that info and we kind of expected that, you know. And it kind of gives us all, it gives me, especially me, it gives me an idea of when these players are coming back. Cause I did hear Fernandez was coming back in, she's trying to come back in Washington, which is like the start of August. But, you know, maybe don't expect her to come back at the start of August. Maybe it might be a little bit longer depending on how long she's off for. So, okay. Let me just find, where is it? Looking for the things so we can get the stats working properly. All right. And then we'll preview this match and then we'll have a big chat about everything. And if you did just come in halfway through or you came in at the end of that chat, we're gonna put that out again as a video on its own. Cause I think it's important to have those questions answered. The question that you always ask me, you guys always throw at me. And yeah, it's been a crazy French open. A lot of injuries, a lot of foot injuries, a lot of falling over. So yeah, so it's good. It's great to get, it was great to get Zach on. Yeah, Ega was gonna win this match. That's why there was the win predicted for Ega because it was, she's gonna win. She's winning everything else. She might as well win this one as well. There we go. All right, now let's get to the preview and then let's have a chat about what's gonna happen today because yesterday everyone was saying, Rafa's gonna win this in three or four, but let's try and figure out if Rude has any chance in this one. So we've got obviously Rafa beating Nolay, biggest match of the tournament. Probably the biggest match of the tournament unless today goes five sets like the Australian Open Final. He beat Nolay in four and of course that's very of match with the horrific injury at the end, which was super sad to see, but he got through. It was still three hours though. Rafa still had to play three hours for those two sets despite it being barely done. I mean, you look at the score and you go, well, it was hardly even a play. Then you got Rude, he beat Runa in a bit of a spicy match, which we didn't realize was spicy till they shook hands and we were like, hey, all right. And then he beat Chillich the other day in four sets after Chillich just ran out of gas. It was sad to watch. It was kind of, we knew it was happening, right? We knew that Chillich unfortunately being 33, the gas tank wasn't quite there. Rafa, other players he's played this week. He obviously beat Thompson in the first round, Matteo in the second, Vanders-Anstrup in the third, all straight sets. And then in the fourth round, he beat FAA in five and then from the quarter finals you can see on the screen. And Kasper, Kasper Rude, he's had a very interesting road to the finals. He's beaten Songa in the first round which we watched, which was Songa's farewell. It was almost five sets. Songa made him work and then Rusevore in the second, three setter. He played five sets against Senego in the third. Herkachi played four sets in the fourth and then of course, Runa and Chillich in four and four. So he hasn't had an easy road, has Kasper Rude, it's been pretty tough. Let's talk about Rude, he's number eight in the world. He's 23-year-old from Norway. He is six-foot tall, right-handed, 24 wins, nine losses on the year. Two titles to his name this year, eight career titles, seven of those on clay and his best wins are against Varev and Nori this year. Raffin' it down, number five in the world which at the start of the tournament, we all looked at the draw and thought, man, he got screwed over by that, but it's Raffer on clay, so I don't know what we're worried about. 35 or sorry, 36 from Spain. He is six-foot-one, left-handed, 23 wins, three losses on the year, three titles in that, including the Australian Open. 91 career titles including 21 slams and his best wins are against Medvedev and Baratini. These two have never played. Never played, crazy. These two have never played. So first-time meeting and usually when someone plays Raffer for the first time, it's never a good thing. So we'll see. Hopefully, Rude can make this interesting. Hopefully, Rude can give us a match. I think he's gonna have to win the first set to make anything interesting. So we'll see, we'll see. Okay, roof is open. Yeah, I don't think they're gonna shut the roof. I was watching the ladies doubles and the roof was open. The radar doesn't look like rain, so I think we're good. I think the roof will be open, which means it won't be hot and sweaty like a sauna like it was the other night or the other day, the other afternoon. So yeah, we are open-roofed. Maybe it rains during the match, but who knows? Answer my question! The question, check! Let's answer some questions. And again, here is Zach's, Foot Doctor Zach's channel. Go check him out. Too bad. Rafa's best win, Zahral Karaz and Djokovic. Yeah, Radek, that's true. I've got to update that. Well, now it's El Karez now and Djokovic. It's based on rankings, though, the best wins. I know you might, yeah, well, this week will change because he beat Djokovic this week. But thank you, Radek, for the two. Today's the first time since the AO 2008 where the finalists of Islam never met. So what, Songa versus Djokovic was the last time. That's crazy. That is crazy. How long does it take to close the roof? I'm not sure. Maybe 10 minutes, 15 minutes. Great coverage, appreciate. You've been flat out, appreciate it. No worries, thank you for the nice words. Last day, we've got, there's tennis on next week, but last day of this, last day of the clay season. It's the last day of the clay court season, guys. All right, well, out the clay court season that gets covered. Can Rude beat Nadal today? Any chances, Cam? No, unless something bad happens to Rafa, which we hope doesn't happen, obviously. You know, great job with the guests, very informative. Yeah, Benji, hey, you know? Glad, glad I can get some, we can get some real answers from the experts. How many hours have they spent on court? That's a good question. I would say Rafa spent more because he just plays longer in general. Even a three-set match is almost the same as a Rude four-set match, so it'd be pretty similar. Maybe Rafa a little bit more. But yeah, I don't think, unless, like, hmm. It's kind of like when we went to the Indian Wells final and Fritz won because Rafa was injured. That's sort of what I'm feeling with Rude. It's like, if Rude's gonna win, he needs Rafa to be, like, way off. And Rude has to be almost, you know, you know. Rude has to be at his 100% best. I don't know if Fritz wasn't at his best because he wasn't, had a problem as well going to that match in Indian Wells, but yeah. Definitely arrived, French, definitely arrived of the French, final of the French oven, yes. Do you think Novak or Roger will catch Nadal if he gets to 22 slams? I think Djokovic can. I think Djokovic can, probably not Federer. I'll be sad if Rafa gets injured, yeah, for sure. Now, again, again, there's no sort of, there's no confirmation yet on Rafa playing Wimbledon or not playing Wimbledon, but someone in the chat said that he might be playing now. So I don't know. What's your prediction? My prediction is Rafa in three sets. I think it's going to be straight sets, Rafa. I think Rude's going to get a close set, but he's not going to win it. I think it'll be like a seven-five, but he won't win it. So I was going to say four sets, but I'm like, I just, I don't think Rafa's going to drop a set against Rude. I don't think Rude, unless Rude sneaks a tie break. Yeah. Spanish bull, yeah, that's it. Thank you, Cam and everyone for the wonderful journey with you all. Thank you, Wendy, appreciate the nice words. I love the face of Rafa May when he beat Nolay at the French Open 20, beat Rafa, Nolay at the French Open 2022. Coco and Jess lost. Yeah, I saw the, they were down like two breaks of serve in the third set, and then I went away to get some stuff set up for this match, and then it was over. So I must have ended in like six-three or something. How long will this match last? I'm going to say this match is going to go for three hours. I think it's going to go three hours, minimum. Rafa's team says he is, he plans to play Wimbledon. Yeah, so that's why, that's why I didn't want to, you know, I wanted to wait for confirmation because I feel the last couple of days, I mean, there's been so many click-baity articles as there always is on Twitter about, you know, Nadal not playing. There's been no confirmation. He won't play the lead-up tournaments, but he never does. You know, Rafa never plays, you know, the grass lead-ups. When was the last time, Rowdy, is it one for you, mate? When was the last time that Rafa played anything before Wimbledon, like Queens Club or Hala? I don't remember him ever playing a lead-up tournament for Wimbledon. He always goes from French Open to Wimbledon without playing anything in between. First two up, Rude, then Rubelev won three, and then Rafa won three sets in a row. Hey, that'd be fun. I'd love to have a two sets of Love Comeback. Last time he played was in 2008, Queens Club. There you go. 14 years ago was when he played a warm-up event to play Wimbledon. So, yeah, whenever I heard for the first time that it was gonna be, he's gonna have a break after with the French, I was thinking, yeah, he's gonna have three weeks off, and then he'll come back and play Wimbledon. So he's gonna get three weeks off, which is a nice break. I mean, three weeks is a long time in tennis. Here's one, two grass courts that weren't Wimbledon. Yeah, but when, yeah. Did he play Stuttgart in 2015? Okay, maybe. Did he have a bad French Open that year? Must have had a bad French Open. How many Wimbledons does Rafa have? Two. Can't believe Rafa changed the tactics against Djokovic. He was always going cross-court against Djokovic in past, but then corner, he went down the line a lot surprising Djokovic. Yeah, that's a good tactic against anyone you've played in the past to mix things up. So Stuttgart 2015 was the last time, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't that year that he lost like third round, or he retired or something. Gotta remember my Rafa history. 2000 and 2015, Rafa didn't win the French, don't you, did he? Maybe he did. Maybe he did. No, he had a bad French Open. I got to the quarters, so he's, okay. Still not, okay. I would have thought he didn't go as far. Okay, let me just press some buttons here. By the way, we're almost at 500 likes already. Thank you everybody for showing the love, and hopefully you guys, hopefully you learned something before we even got started about, especially about Rafa. I mean, hopefully it cleared some stuff about Rafa. Master will be left looking pretty silly if Rafa plays Wimbledon. Yeah, so that's why I never, I always wait until they hear it from the person themselves. Sometimes I'll do a video that says, Rafa's in doubt, but we won't be telling the Rafa's out until he's out. Just so not to confuse everything. I really hope Rafa can take this. Let me know in the chat. What do you reckon is gonna happen? Rafa, Rude, what do you reckon? What do you guys reckon? What's gonna be the scores? Is it gonna be three zeroes, gonna be three one, five sets? What do you guys reckon? What's the feel? What is the feel? Rafa in four, Rafa in three. Okay. You better shut your fuck up, okay? You don't hit left, and you don't say sorry, you think you're a hit kid. You don't have to stop and you kept doing like this to the team. Is that bullshit Russian? You think this is normal? Oh, thank you Randy for the 10. Appreciate that, no, you're welcome. I'm happy to do this, this is awesome. I love doing this. Thank you, appreciate that. Thanks for everybody who jumped on again, and you guys keep coming back. By the way, look, we're gonna talk about the grass season next week, so just chill with the spam. That's a good question. You just have to wait, you just have to wait. You just have to wait. You just have to wait. People are saying rude are Joker fans. No, look, I think, look, you can discount Casperude at your peril, because he can sometimes, he has surprise, I mean, he surprised the air to be finals last year. Nobody thought he was gonna make the semis. He got through this, nobody thought he was gonna win a match, and he got through the semis. So, look, rude's playing on his surface. He's just playing against the best player on this surface. You know what Deb? Yes, just because you asked so nicely, I'll get the purple scoreboard for you. There we go, purple scoreboard for Rafa. There we go, there we go. There you go. Okay, let's keep answering questions. Players are coming out on a 10 minutes time. It's happening. It's happening. It's all happening. And like I said, we might jump on the discord after to have a chat, I mean, it's the last tournament of the week, or the last match of the tournament. So jump on the discord, have a chat after this. This match may be less about Rafa versus Rudin, more about Rafa versus Mula, why is this that? That's what you were in Rafa versus Mehdi, what do you mean? I'm confused. Final shirt, you know what's up. Rudin five, look, unlikely, but anything can happen. Never know, you never know. Just Rudwin, at least a set. He might sneak a set, either the first or the second in a tie break. I feel the longer it goes, the better Rafa's gonna get. 83% humidity, yeah, it's gonna be pretty crazy. But as you heard, if you were here before, Dr. Zach said, you know, the weather condition or the humidity, the cold conditions might affect it because of the arthritis in his foot, but he's playing on clay, which is a little bit of a softer surface than, and that's good for his foot. So high for this, let's go. Yep, Rafa four, okay. Can we give me your eyeglasses if Rafa wins? Why would I do that? Then I can't see. Tennis show, I was showing the horrible was very of injury again. Yeah, it's nasty. I think Rudw, might win the second. Yeah, I don't know if he's gonna win the first, unless he comes out of the blocks flying and Rafa comes out a bit slow. This is how I kind of see it, is if he comes out of flying and Rafa's a little bit slow, he might catch Rafa off guard. That might be when Rud can maybe sneak the first, but then it more likely is, because when you play someone like a Rafa for the first time in your life, you're gonna have to figure out, like you're gonna have to feel his shots for a set. And Rafa might get off to a good start and you're like, whoa, what the hell is this guy? And then the second set, he might make an adjustment and then Rud might make this win the second. But again, more likely it's gonna be Rafa in straight sets, I think. That's what I think. I think he's gonna be Rafa in straight sets. And usually I give the underdog a set out of respect, and I respect Kasper Rud, but it's very hard for me to give him a set. Yeah, just so to give you guys a bit of context on when someone's made their first grand slam final, we're talking about Dominic's team. I think he's the best example. Claycourt guy, 2018, made his first grand slam final, played against Rafa, lost 6-4, 6-3, 6-2. David Ferrer made his first grand slam final, played Rafa, lost 6-3, 6-2, 6-3. Sotaling made his second grand slam final, played against Rafa, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. These are all the French open, by the way, all the French open. Who else? I mean, yeah, they're all the ones at the French. Then you played Stan in the French open final, 6-2, 6-3, 6-1. Stan already won a French open too, so it wasn't like Stan was a new guy. He already won a French, but he, 2017, Rafa just smacked him about. So that seems to be the theme. Now, the exception to those French open finals, his team got a set off Rafa in the second set after in his second grand slam final. Also, obviously, Djokovic and Federer, who played Rafa in finals, they got sets off him in the French open finals. But the last French open final that Rafa played, he bagled Djokovic two years ago. So again, not many players can get sets off Rafa in the finals of the French. In fact, if you want to go all the way back, he's first ever final referee, lost the first set against Porter in a tie break. Who the hell was that guy? I think he got busted for drugs or something. Argentinian guy, but then won in four. But after that, there's only been how many occasions? One, one, two, three, four, five occasions in French open finals where he's lost a set. Federer won the first set in 2006, was 6-1. Then Federer won the second set in 2007, 6-4. Then Federer got bagled in the third match. They played in three years in a row and that was straight sets for Rafa. 2011 was the closest that Federer got to getting Rafa in a French open final. It was, he won the second, third set, 7-5. First two sets were 7-5, 7-6. Federer could have won that match, but he didn't. And then Djokovic won the third set against Rafa in 2012. Djokovic won the first set against Rafa in 2014. And Dominic team won the second set in 2019. So only once or only twice. Rafa's lost the first set. Couple of times he's lost the second, but most likely he went losing the third, but more than likely he wins everything in straight sets. Again, and Rude, if it was Ziverov in the final, I would make, I'd probably say something different, but because it's Rude and the way that he plays, I don't think it's gonna be a problem for Rafa. I think Rude is maybe the shortest guy he's played in the finals as well. Oh no, so David Ferreira was the shortest guy, but Rude is a David Ferreira type and he brushed Ferreira away like it was nothing. By the way, Guga Quertin in the house, everybody. Gustavo Quertin, 2000, 2001 champion. And I think he might be giving out the trophy. Matt's for land to give out the trophy yesterday to the ladies. Maybe it might be Guga this week because it was 20 years since he won his first, since he won his titles. Chat too fast, Morph, I can read your chat. I can read your chats. That's very much could have been legendary. We could have gone seven hours. It could have, yeah, yeah. Now, if you haven't, if you were just joining us, we had foot doctor Zach on before at the start of this for about half an hour, 45 minutes at the start of the match, start of this to kind of give you guys, answer the questions that I'm too dumb to answer. Get the experts on for the injuries. And we talked a lot about Zverev. Now, what I've been hearing, and I think I also heard this in an interview with Fernandez's dad, who one of you guys chucked in the Discord, which I appreciate, thank you so much. I listened to that whole thing and he said that the courts are sticky. The clay courts are sticky. And we saw that against Zverev. I mean, his foot stuck to the ground and the rest, we know what happened, right? And we've seen a lot of players falling over in this tournament, getting their foot caught almost as if they're playing on a hard court. You know, when you're playing on a hard court, when we've seen people play on hard courts and they, because going back to footwork in general with tennis, right? Footwork is massive for tennis. Obviously, it's one of the most important things to have. It's very underrated skill. Most people are looking at the hands and what they're doing with the shoulders, but the footwork is how people go from being good to pro, right? It's about the feet. Everyone can hit a forehand, but if you can't move your feet, can't do much. They move their feet so quick that they kind of like glide, imagine this is the ground, their toes glide across this, like float across the court. On a hard court, sometimes we see them like catch their toe and they fall over. We've been seeing a lot of that this week. Now we shouldn't see that because on a clay court it should be slippery-ish or it should be more forgiving. We're seeing, and was very, in particular, we're seeing people's feet like get stuck on the clay, right, it's sticky, like it's a hard court. Like they're sliding on hard courts, huh? Maybe that's why we've got so many people falling over and getting injured this week, but that is probably because of the weather. I mean, the weather has been raining most of the time, which makes the clay thick or sticky. If you've ever played on a clay court, you'll know that if you play during the day and the hot sun, it's gonna be dry and slippery and you gotta water it. But if you play at night or you play during colder conditions or if you play on wet clay, it can get pretty sludgy, pretty muddy. And that's where I think the stickiness is coming from. Again, maybe not 100%, but that seems to be what it is. Maybe the humidity has been causing the sticky clay, which then turns into rolled ankles and falling over. So that was something I heard Fernandez's dad say that the clay's been sticky this week and kind of goes hand in hand with all the players that have been getting foot problems or falling over. So yeah. Any news on how bad the injury? Lisa, we had foot doctor Zach on at the start of the show. You can rewind and watch that. We'll wait until we bring those videos out during the week. As far as we know, it has torn ligaments, but he's getting more scans. So it's still a developing story, but we put out a video. We talked about it yesterday in the streams as well. But there's about a minute and a half video that I put out yesterday about the update. So you can go check it out. Okay. It's time. Castor is coming out on court. Then Rafa, then we start. This is going to be epic. This is going to be epic. Let me know in the chat. What do you guys reckon is going to happen? Who is going to win? Does more importantly, does Rude have a chance? Does Rude have a chance? That is the question that we're all asking. Can Rude do anything? Can he do something? That's what I want to know. Is he any chance? All right. No, Rude will win. No, there you go. I think Rude has a chance because Nidal's injured. Okay. Roof is open, by the way. The roof is open. Confirmed. The roof is open. The roof is open. Let's see the crowd going crazy. Rafa on court, the music is loud. Geez, that's loud. All right, players on court. Ready to go. We are ready to go. I think they'll do like some sort of a photo, opportunity, all that stuff. Rude for Rafa. Rude is, roof is open. Roof, roof, roof, the roof. The roof is open. Nidal in three, Rude no sense. Yeah, I think it's going to be Nidal in three, yes. Thank you from Canada. What's going on? The roof is open, yes. The roof. Why would the Rude be open? That doesn't make any sense. The roof is open. Is there a mod here? Yeah, Dawn will jump in. I'm sure the mods will jump in at times. Again, bear with us, because the chat is obviously a little busy. It's going to be like that. Don't sweat, though, I can read your chat. My sub number is frozen. No, that's right. Again, thank you, everybody, for having subscribed, liked the videos over the last two weeks. I don't know how many matches we watched, but we watched a lot. So again, thank you, everybody, for joining us for the entire two weeks. We've got grass season coming up next, literally next week. We've got more tennis, so it's like, maybe we'll get a couple days off, but thank you. Thank you, everybody, who has subscribed and hung out with us throughout the entire tournament. It's been a lot of fun. We've had a crazy, it's been a crazy French Open. Now, crazy matches, upsets on the ladies side, unfortunately, injuries. So yeah, so thank you, everybody, who has joined us for the last two weeks. It's been awesome. And don't be a stranger. This is what usually happens. A lot of people seem to jump on, jump on and watch the slams. Hopefully over the last two weeks, I fired you up enough to get you involved in tennis on a little bit more of a granular level, right? So trying to get you guys who maybe just follow the French Open, oh, yeah, I'm just coming in here, just check out what's going on. Hopefully you've got fired up to come back and watch smaller tournaments, because we're watching some smaller tournaments in the next few weeks, because these guys play every other week. Well, not every, maybe not Rafa, but Rude will be playing in the next few weeks. You know, he'll be back. All the guys that we've watched this week, they'll be back for the most part in the next week or two. Some of the ladies. So make sure you're not a stranger. Make sure you stick around for the smaller matches, because we do a lot of matches outside of the Grand Slams. And hopefully I can convert you into a tennis fan. Maybe if you're a little bit more of a casual fan at the moment, hopefully you can get you into what's going on around the whole tennis season. All right. It's better to play now with the roof open, less humid and later when the roof close, rain has been predicted later on. Yeah, well, the French Open aren't always the greatest at predicting when things are going to happen. But, you know, I think they would know. They would know if it's going to rain or not. And I looked at the radar and it didn't seem like it was rain on the way. It might be rain here or there, but that's about it. It might be a shower or two as they play. We'd like to see Emma win Wimbledon. Ego will stumble in losing the semis, you reckon. I think the transition between clay and grass is going to be tough. Verlin choux de biosome. Can't wait. Yeah, that's going to be the best tournament. I mean, that is... And some of you are going to that. I think we had... Who do we have on yesterday that was going to that? Was it... Was it Mikey? Did we have Mikey on a Marvin? I can't remember. One of you guys was going to it, which I think it might have been Mikey. He's gone to Berlin. So make sure you... If you go to the tournaments, take photos, chuck them in the reddit. Because I want to see... We want to live through you guys. You know, some of us can't leave, like me. I can't leave my house or leave. I get to those tournaments. So I want to live through your guys' experience. Travel is crazy right now. Staying put until the fall, yeah. I can't imagine what the prices are to get on a plane. I mean, especially for Australian. Ha, ha, ha. When would I have a Super Chat that's British? Yes, of course. The last time, we got to bid farewell au revoir to the French accent for the donations. It's the last time we're hearing it until the end of the year. So yeah, the French... I know some of you have hated it. So you're probably giving it and saying good riddance. Don't come back. Maybe next year we'll have the female version. But I can't understand the accent either, but that's part of the joy. That's why I have to re-read all the comments. That's part of the fun, is that you can't understand it. Yes, but yeah, we'll have a British accent. Maybe a German accent next week or in the next few weeks. You will not be missed accent. Is Federer in the house? He was going to be, wasn't he? Imagine Federer gave the trophy to Rafa. Funny with that bit of look. That looks so weird. I heard that Federer was gonna be there. I did hear that. Rafa can win one leg with both hands. That's true. Anyone who thinks rude might surprise? No. While I time on court, I think, am I reading this right? Is exactly the same? Like 18 hours each? I can't, I couldn't see that. Was it 18 hours someone can confirm? Am I nervous? Ah, no. Why would I be nervous? I'm excited for a big final. You have to be careful with rude. He is very motivated. He wants to make history for his country, for sure. But he's playing Rafa Nadal for the first time on the biggest clay court stage where it's Rafa's best tournament of all time. Everything is against rude. He's gonna be the biggest Cinderella story of all time if he can win. Biggest upset. It'll be a bigger upset than Medvedev beating Djokovic last year at the U.S. Open. I think rude winning would be the biggest upset in the last decade. I mean, biggest upset since Chilich, right? Since Chilich won the U.S. Open in 2014. We never know. We'll find out. We'll see. Who does Mia predict? I asked and she fell asleep. So I don't know. She's not interested. She's not interested. All right, everybody, it's time. It is time. It is time. It is time. Don't forget to subscribe, like the video as well. Almost 1,000 likes. Thank you, everybody, before you even start. It's time to get this show on the road. Rafa serving first. Rude returning serve down the bottom of the screen. Rafa up the top. Who's winning the French Open for 2022? My prediction is Rafa in three. I would give Rude a set, but I mean, it's Rafa. It's Rafa Nadal. I mean, it's Rafa, Rafa. It's Rafa. I mean, I need to say more. Rafa serves into the back end of Rude as we're going to find Rafa into the back end of Rude to the front of Rafa. Again to the back end of Rude. Rafa with the forehand in the back end again of Rude into the forehand of Rafa. Rude with the back end. Cross court again to the forehand of Rafa. Now Rude with the forehand who shanks it. I mean, that went backwards. I don't know what Rude was doing there. It went backwards. Rafa first point. First point goes to Rafa. History rewritten if Rafa can win this. I mean, he's going to rewrite history. He was the first man to get the 21. Will he be the first man to get the 22? Also, he's creeping on. Someone said he's going to beat Marker Court's record. He is creeping on that record. I was going to return down from Rude to the forehand of Rafa. Forehand from Rude into the back end of Rafa. It's a drop shot. Rude's going to run but miss. And it's 30 love. 30 love. Little drop shot from Rafa and Rude ran and just couldn't quite make it. Rafa serves a fold. Second serve. Rafa serves down the tee to the back end of Rude. Forehand from Rafa into the back end of Rude into the forehand of Rafa. Again to the back end of Rude. Into the back end of Rafa now as Rude hits a forehand. Down the line, that's a good shot. Rafa with a slice forehand on the stretch goes out. That's good from Rude. Rude has to play outside himself. He's got to play aggressive. He's got to play unpredictable. I mean, it's almost like watching anybody play a goat in the early 2010s. The way you beat the goats is you have to play, first you have to play ridiculously risky, close to the lines, but also super aggressive. And if you're not that type of player, you're going to play outside of yourself. And that's what Rude has to do, play outside of himself. 30-15 has got a back end return there from Rude, which goes wide and it's 40-15. 40-15, Rafa's wife, sister, everybody. Pretty much everybody that you're used to seeing is there. As Rafa serves a fold. Second serve. Rafa serves. A let on the second serve. Served to the back end of Rude. 4-0 from Rafa. Into the back end of Rude. Into the front of Rafa. Rude hits a forehand. Down to the back end of Rafa. Into the front of Rude on the stretch. Rafa taking control as he goes down the line with the back end. Rude with a slice in the net. Rafa first game won love. Rafa's playing aggressive. Rafa, that's scary because you think, oh, Rafa's just going to play his game. Rafa's playing aggressive. Rafa's being aggressive with it. Now I'm just having a look at this Casper of Rude when he plays against lefties. In 2022, he has not lost to a leftie. He's beaten Dubonis, Nori, Moucan, or Moucan and Shapovalov. They're the four guys that he's beaten this year on as a leftie. Last year, he won six out of the seven that he played against lefties. The one he lost, the big V. He lost to the big V, but he beat everyone else. He beat Nishioca, Coppa, Shapo, Gaston, and Nori twice. So he doesn't mind playing lefties. 2020 was five and two when he played lefties. He only lost to Umbair, but he also beat Umbair, Dubonis and Ramos-Fernandez and a couple others. So Casper of Rude over the last few years when he plays lefties, he is not bothered by them. He does have a solid back end. He does have a solid back end. He needs to do more than just a solid back end today. He's gonna have to serve well, all that stuff. One, love. Rude with a serve. Now, what is a fault? Second serve, serving to the back end of Rafa, four and a half Rude on the stretch to the back end of Rafa down the line. That's a great shot. Slice from Rude. Rafa with a volley. Get out of here. Rafa too good. This is gonna be our finish to you. Oh man, Rafa's, I think Rafa's going, I'm not playing from two sets down like the Australian Open Final this time. I'm gonna win the first set and I'm not gonna muck around this time. I'm not playing five hours like the last final. He's not mucking around today. Love 15. Serve down to the slice of Rafa goes up and it goes out. Good serve from Rude. Now remember Rude, when he played against Chilich, he served something like 15 aces. It was a big, it was a big, I mean it was more aces than we've ever seen him hit. I don't know what his record is, but it must have been close. So Rude was hitting a lot of aces in that match. He won't do the same today, but does Rafa stand so far back and it's nearly impossible to ace him even with a big serve. But Rude will hopefully, for him, win some points on his serve. Get some free points. As Rafa gets that one back in the backhand side, that goes into the front of Rude. Backhand now wrapped it down the line to the backhand of Rude. Into the backhand of Rafa. Again to the front of Rude now as Rafa hits the backhand cross-court. Rude on the stretch with a slice in the net, 15-30. Rude played a great point, but then Rafa got on the baseline and started to attack. All right, let me know in the chat. Anyone get any bets on this one? I know the French open finals, always a big, a big betting bonanza. 15-30. Serve that wide is a fault. Second serve. Serve goes to the front of Rafa. Foyner from Rude into the backhand of Rafa to the backhand of Rude. Again to the forehand now of Rafa. Rafa goes again to the backhand of Rude. He keeps going to that backhand as Rafa goes inside out to a forehand now. Rude on the stretch, up goes the lob. Rafa with a smash, puts it down. Rude's gonna get it with another lob. Smash! Rafa puts it away. Too good. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. 15-40. And right now, it's all Rafa. He's already at six winners, Rafa. Are you even serious? Jesus, mate. Six winners for Rafa in two games. You think he wants to win this as quickly as possible? He ain't playing around. He ain't playing around. This could be ugly. 15-40. Seven winners, I'm sorry. It just updated. That was the seventh winner. Rafa ain't messing about. Serve that wide to the backhand of Rafa. Foyner Rude into the backhand of Rafa but Rafa's running the wrong way. Nice little wrong footing shot there from Casper Rude. 30-40. 30-40. Rafa still has a break point, though. Also, that was his first winner, Casper Rude. First winner of the final. Second serve. Down the tee to the backhand of Rafa. Foyner Rude into the Foyner of Rafa. Backhand of Rafa goes in the Foyner of Rude to the Foyner of Rafa on the stretch. That's a winner from Rafa. You don't run into the Foyner of Rafa. He's gonna get you every time. It better be a good approach when Rafa just whips that cross court. Banana Foyner, Rafa doing Rafa things, all of the things that we always say, break Rafa to love. I mean, you run in on him. You come in on his forehand when Rafa's on the run. You better be ready to dive. You dive for that volley. And Rafa just goes, I got this. Eight winners in two games. That's eight points, eight winners, Rafa. He's won eight points and they've all been winners. What do you say? Excuse me? Can I help you? Rafa's won eight points and eight winners. Do you reckon he wants to win this? I don't know, that's insane. That's insane. Literally every point he's won has been a winner. Second serve, a clean winner. Rafa's second serve into the Foyner of Rude. Back and out from Rafa. Down the line at the back end of Rude. Into the Foyner of Rafa. Back and out of Rude again. To the back end of Rafa. Into the Foyner of Rude. Back again from Rafa goes into the Foyner of Rude. Who goes down the line in the net. First point that Rafa's won that wasn't a winner from him. Madness, madness. And that error was halfway out of the net because he was like, I better hit something good here. He better hit something good. Man, 15 love. Rafa serves. A fault. Second serve. Taking the time here Rafa, he serves. Down the tee to the Foyner of Rude. Foyner from Rafa. Again to the Foyner of Rude. Has been a back end out from Rafa. Again to the Foyner of Rude. To the back end of Rafa. Down the line to the back end of Rude. Has been a Foyner back end rally. Rafa shanks it. It goes out, 15 all. Ugh. Worst error of the day for Rafa. Holy, holy, holy. Okay. The 30 grand on Rafa. Dominic team, isn't that illegal? Shouldn't you, aren't you not allowed to bet? What tennis players who are active aren't allowed to gamble? You know, as we won't tell anyone if you don't. 15 all. Of course it's the real, it must be the real Dominic team. Surely. Somebody wouldn't pretend to be him. It's gotta be the real one, right? Right guys? Right? Guys? 15 all. And Rafa double faults. 15, 30. As the mafia bosses in the front row, wearing the suits, not clapping. Who the hell are these guys? That guy looks like the security guard for that guy, and that guy must be a king or something. 15, 30. Little chance of a Rude to get the break back. As Rafa serves another fault. Man, those faults are going in the net. Second serve. Double fault, wow. Two double faults from Rafa, back to back. Now, if you were here before the very start of this match, or before this match, when we're talking to the foot doctor, Zach, he was saying that Vera might come back from his injury and struggle with serving. I wonder, is this related to the feet? Because he is dumping them in the net, and that is not a good serve, is we're gonna get a good serve. There from Rafa, now in the back, in the front of Rude, into the back end of Rafa, but Rude hits it out. 30, 40. I wonder. Two double faults back to back. That is not Rafa-like. That is unlike Rafa. 30, 40. Still a chance, even Rude to get the break straight back, and he has to do it. I think Rude's got a break back now. He can't give Rafa a three-love lead. First serve in the net again. Second serve. Rafa to the back end of Rude. Four and a Rafa. Into the net. Rude breaks back. That was weird. That was a strange game. Two double faults, and a couple of errors. Bad errors. Rude breaks back. Rafa concerning. Question, jerk! That was a concern. What's with the serve? It, well, well, this is the thing. If you guys, you guys have heard me say this, and some of you like to joke about it and meme it, which is totally fine. When I say a good error, right? I always say good error, bad error, good double fault, bad double fault. Good fault, bad fault. A good fault is when you hit it out. It means that you're being aggressive. You're trying to like, you know, you're doing a lot of things, right? There's only a couple of tweaks you have to make on the serve to make it go in. When you're hitting a bad serve or a bad fault, it's when you hit it in the net, because it means there's a lot of things you might need to change, one being your legs. If you don't push into the serve and use your legs and your feet to push into the ball, it's gonna dump down in the net. That's one of the reasons. It could be a multiple reasons why the serve, he double-folded twice, but first you're gonna start with the legs. So those serves were going in the net. They weren't long faults. They were double faults in the net, and also his forehand was in the net as well, which was bad. And again, a bad error. Going in the net is bad. Anyone hits a ball in the net? Unless they're like smacking it really flat and they just hit it down for, but if they're just kind of rallying side to side and they're just hitting it, they hit it down into the ground and dump it in the net, it's not a good thing. Now let's keep an eye on Raver's feet and see how fast he's moving around. He is moving the feet pretty quick. There's been a slice there from Rood. For whatever, Rafer, into the back end of Rood. It goes with a pass and that's in the net. Nice from Rafer, I love 15. But just strange game. You don't see Rafer serving that many double faults in the game. Back to back doubles. I mean, rarely see that. Also, we've got Stefan Edberg in the house. Hashtag legend. Gustavo Quirton, Billie Jean King. I mean, they're all there. All these legends. Love 15. Rood serves a let. Love 15. Rood serves down the tier, the slice of Rafer, one out from Rood, into the open court to win a good shot from Rood. 15 all. Now, we've been basically just talking about Rafer, right? Now, Casper Rood, it's the first grand slam final. First time against Rafer, hella nerves, right? He's gonna have so much nerves like Coco did yesterday against Eager, right? Nervous. And the way to get rid of those nerves is to try and get a game as quickly as possible. So you're like, well, at least I'm not gonna lose double with a bagel. You wanna get on the board as quickly as possible. Now, Rafer did Rood a favor and gave him that game. You know, three errors and whatever. So Rood's gonna be feeling a lot more comfortable now, for sure, especially with a break. Breaking against Rafer, it's like, oh, I broke your serve. Even though you didn't do it, he broke himself. But still, Rood's gonna be feeling a lot calmer now that he's got a game on the board. And also that he's not down like 4-1 or something. You know, he's only just down. But he hit that one out. 15-30 or so, it looks like Stan Smith's back. Another legend. 15-30. Yeah, the Rood nerves should be, if he gets this game, he should be feeling okay. How many, look, it happens to everybody in any final. Even if you play a local tennis club final, you're gonna have nerves. I know I've played small events that I get nervous for. As Rafer hits it in the net again, oh! Oh, Rafer hurt himself. Rafer's hurt himself. He made a weird movement and then he grimaced. He grimaced, is that a word? Or is that a, that's a McDonald's character. He like, went like, he grit his teeth. Rafer's not right. 30-all. Serve out wild to the back and Rafer, four-and-a-rood into the back end of Rafer. Four-and-a-rood into the back and again, Rafer sliced. Rood with a four-hand, into the open court to win. Rafer not running for that one, 40-30. This reminds me, and I don't wanna scare Rafer fans, but I have to say it, this reminds me of what happened when he played against both Harris and Sock in Washington last year. Like that's, this is what he looked like. Grimaced is a word, okay. It's also a purple McDonald's character, cool. That's probably where they got it from. But Rafer is definitely, I mean look, is he gonna give up this final hell no? Is he gonna win this final? Probably still. But we'll keep an eye on him because he's, he is definitely summons up, there's something up. As we find out at the back end of Rood, who hits it out by a mile. Now I wonder if Rood's picking up on these little things and if he's seeing what's happening with Rafer. Or if he's too busy focusing on trying to get his own game. Hopefully he's paying attention. And we're at Deuce. Now Rafer will keep an eye on his running. I think the running is gonna be the part that we'll see him in the most stressful situations. As Rood, oh no, he's hit a great serve, but then he just smacked the ball wide. Advantage Nidal, again, to get the break and lead. All right, advantage Nidal. If he's joining us, Rafer got a two love lead. And then Rood broke back after Rafer played a very poor game. Rafer's looking, summing up, summing up with Rafer. He's looking sore as we had a find out of the find of Rafer, find out from Rood, into the back end of Rafer. Find out Rood again, to the back end of Rafer, to the find of Rood. Who doesn't wanna go to the find of Rafer, he keeps going to the back end. Good slice from Rafer as Rood goes inside out of the find of Rafer, now a find of Rood. Down the line, that's a good shot. Rafer on the stretch, gets into the back end as Rood hits in the net. And Rafer gets the break, three one. Rood's giving him too many free points. He's giving him too many free points. Three one, Rafer. Now, let's have a look at what the serve is like, because we know, we saw with the last game he served a couple of double faults. Also he's serving a 36% of first serves in, that is horrible. Yuck, it's a terrible serving from Rafer. 36%, that's like three first serves in. First serve, down the team to the back end of Rood. Four in front of Rafer, into the back end of Rood. Four in front of Rafer again to the back end of Rood, who goes into the four in front of Rafer. Again to the back end of Rood, Rafer keeps going to his back end, now Rafer again goes to the back end of Rood to the four in front of Rafer. To the back end of Rood, just going cross-court as Rood hits it out. And again, too many errors from Casper Rood. Rafer's just spinning that forehand to the back end and Rood's getting pushed further and further back. 15 love, 15 love. As Rafer serves, out wide to the back end of Rood, four in front of Rafer, open court, Rood's going to get there with the four under the stretch. Rafer with the four under the back end again of Rood, sliced into the four in front of Rafer, who goes down the line. Rood's just doing so much defending and Rafer's getting away 30 love. Nice from Rafer. Rafer has not lost a point in his first serve. So he's got his uncle who played for Barcelona as in the seats. Mum, dad, uncle Tony ain't there, but he's probably hanging out with FAA, or maybe he's hanging out on the beach in Spain somewhere. I don't know where he's going. Where the hell's uncle Tony? Return now, and 30 love goes in the forehand of Rafer, back in Rood, into the forehand of Rafer, again to the back end of Rood. Down the line, that's good from Rood. As Rafer gets on the back end side, drop shot Rood, Rafer runs, going to get there easily and put it away. Not good enough from Casper Rood. 40 love, 40 love. Rafer to get a 4-1 in this first set. It's been an interesting first set so far. Rood obviously nervous, trying to figure out how to play against Rafer. He's never played Rafer before, so he's trying to figure it out. But also Rafer's playing well when he needs to, to get these leads. He's playing well in the return. He's serving though, it's good in this game, but it was first couple of games, especially that second game. Not great, he serves a fault there. Second serve, into the back end of Rood. Four-and-a-Raffer, into the forehand of Rood. To the back end now of Raffer, back end of Rood, cross-court of the forehand, again of Raffer, into the back end of Rood. Goes down the line, that's a great shot Raffer with a slice. It goes in, Rood with a swing volley, that's too good. That's better from Casper Rood, but he had to hit the ball in the corners to get there. 40-15, and Raffer's second serve percentage is, I mean, second serve's vulnerable. Doesn't help when you double fault, but 27 minutes played and Rood gets up another point here, but it's still 40-15, served to the back end of Rood, and he shanks it wide, and Raffer gets a four-one. He gets a four-one, let's answer questions. Answer my question, the question, jerk! Questions, questions. Raffer's first serve percentage, yeah, it went up to 57, so yeah, it's gone up in that game, that last game he served is his best serving of the day. Few athletes say that if Raffer wins this year's French Open, then he is the GOAT, do you agree? I mean, I think he's the GOAT now. If he wins the French Open again, it just kind of confirms that, yeah. No aces yet, I wouldn't expect any aces today. Two guys who were, you know, clay quarters, stand really far back, yeah. Do you think Raffer will be able to handle the foot, the pain in his foot? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's played through this stuff kind of before, so he'll be fine. 100 wins, one loss when he wins the first set. Jesus, that's insane. How's the crazy stat? Roots overrated, not nervous, disagree. How long this match? It's been 30 minutes, probably gonna go for two hours, maybe two and a half. Penthouse Root plays in the next sets. Yeah, Raffer's foot should survive. I've not seen a full game of Root, I really hope it goes five sets today. Who else are in the crowd, celebs? I'm not sure about celebrities, but they're definitely a lot of tennis celebs. There's been a four and a rude, let's see what he can do here. His backhand from Raffer to the four and a rude, into the backhand of Raffer. Four and again, rude to the four and a Raffer, into the backhand of Rood. As Raffer goes down the line and hits a winner, lovely shot from Raffer. The problem with Casparudis, he just doesn't have weapons. Like Zverev has the serve and aggressive ground strokes when he needs to, but unfortunately for Rood, he just doesn't have anything to trouble Raffer with. So in the long rallies, Raffer's just gonna keep going and, you know, wait until he gets the perfect shot and then pull the trigger. Rood's not gonna really trouble him too much unless he starts playing ultra aggressive and risky as hell. Good first serve there from Rood and it's 15 all-hew grants in the house. I mean, there's a celebrity, right? Jesus Christ, Michael Douglas in the house and some other lady that I don't know. Michael Douglas in the house. I mean, he is an old guy. I mean, he's like, what, 80? So, I mean, he looks like that, but man, obviously Michael Douglas in a minute, he looked. Didn't he have some like, he had throat cancer or something? No, I don't want to make any, I don't want to say anything mean. Don't make anything, make any jokes, but he's like, real like, skinny, great drop shot there from Rood, 30, 15. Yeah, he's looking real, I don't want to say anything about, he didn't he recovered? Okay, yeah, I thought so. Man, he's looking, he's looking old, I mean, he's looking old. He's 80, right? So, he's looking 80. He's got a four now from Rafa into the slice of Rood, into the font of Rafa, and that's a good shot from Rafa, 30 all. Look, Michael Douglas is looking like his age. I mean, what can you say? Michael Douglas is like 80. Is he literally 80? He's not 80. Surely he's 80, come on now. 77, that's almost 80, that's the same thing. 77, 80, I mean, same thing. If he was 50, I would have been like, okay, I'm way off, but three years off, I mean, at that age, you know, anything over 70 is like the same. You're gonna be 70, you're gonna be 90, you're just the same, right? And that's not in a mean thing, I mean, just in general. Like, if you're 70 or older, you know, you're in your senior years, you're in your retired years, right? 40, 30, well, hopefully you're retired. My dad's 80 and looks 60. Yeah, my dad's not that old, but my dad looks younger. And my mom, both of them. They look younger than their age. 40, 30 is rude, wins the game, with a wrapper back in that goes wide and it's four, two. Rapper with the break. Right, so you're 70, Cam. Call it differently. When I'm 70, I'll be acting like I'm 20, like, let's be real. When I'm 70, I ain't gonna be there. I mean, I ain't gonna be, you reckon I'm gonna act 70, come on now. I'm 70 now, you guys don't even know, this is a filter. Michael Douglas is 77, people are saying he's 60. That's not true. Anyways, he's in the building. Four, two, wrapper. 33 minutes played. Well, 34 minutes played because we're a little bit ahead of time. Second serve wrapper. Down the tee and a rude runs around it. Four now from wrapper to the four and a rude into the net. 15, love. 15, love. You're acting 20 now and I'm in a good way. Well, I hope so. 15, love. Serve. Out wide to the back end of rude, four and a wrapper. Into the four and a rude, into the volley of wrapper. Who puts it down, rude's gonna get there with a slice, put up the lob, wrapper's gonna run back, but the ball goes long from rude. 30, love. 30, love. Rapper. Looking a little better here. I was gonna serve down the tee, the back end of rude, four and a wrapper. Into the back end of rude. There's been a four and a wrapper on the stretch, rude with the back end again. Into the four and a wrapper. Who goes down the line for a winner. I mean, you can't do that. You can't hit the ball short against wrapper's forehand. It's gonna just get absolutely smacked. 40, love. Speaking of people that don't look their age, Gustavo Quirton, I mean, he looks like, he'd be like what, like 45? He looks, I mean, he's got like gray in his hair. Maybe that gives it away, but his hair, if he dyed his hair, dude could pass for like 30, easy. And dude, go look at him in the 90s. He looks the same. There's been a back end now, just with different like darker hair. As wrapper hits out wide on the forehand, it's 40, 15. Dude looks the same. I mean, he's putting her weight on, he's like hair the same. And that's, he's got, he's 40, he is 45? God, I'm killing it with the age. I'm getting so close. I'm such a good guess. Usually I suck at guessing people's ages. I get five more points. Thank you. What's that, I want 10. 10 points, woo. Speaking of points, I'm winning the fan slam. Did anyone notice that? Just thought I put that out there. I can't believe that's the thing. I think John can beat me. That's the only, he's the only person who can beat me. If wrapper wins easily, John might get me, but what can I say? I accidentally picked the right players. As we get a back end out of the front of Rude, back end out of the front of Rude and out of the front of wrapper on the stretch, and wrapper hits it out. 40, 30. I think what Rude's got to start doing rather than try to hit the ball through wrapper, I would just start angling the ball and make wrapper run awkwardly side to side and in and out. I would, easier said than done, but I think Rude should start using the angles more. Angle the ball off, so wrapper's having to do more work. Because hitting the ball side to side and hard is like, I mean, on a clay court, wrapper's gonna get that, but if you angle it a little bit, he's gonna have to make like diagonal movements, which could put him out of position. So I think Rude should start playing with angles like he did in that point. Sorry, back end out of the front of wrapper, the back end of Rude, on the return to the front of wrapper, again to the back end, slice of Rude. Ruff of the front in the open court, Rude's gonna get there with the front of his own. Back end of fire now from Rude, going to the back end of wrapper. Now down the line of the back end of Rude, into the front of wrapper, again to the back end of Rude. Drop shot from Ruff, Rude's gonna run. He's gonna get there with a drop shot of his own. Ruff with the back end pass, and that's a winner. Unbelievable, unbelievable. Rude couldn't get there. Five, two, wrap up first set. All right. Also thanks everybody who likes and subscribes. Appreciate that with, make sure you do if you haven't already. But I'm gonna ask you a question. I'm gonna see if I can read the chat as quickly as it's gonna blow up in a second. Let me know in the chat where you're from. I wanna see where you guys are watching from, usually during these massive finals. We have a big audience from literally every place we can think of.

We've got Hong Kong, we've got Canada in the chat, Portugal. A lot of people are from India, of course. Raphers gets a lot of love from there. Your mom's basement. Oh, you're in your mom's basement.

Brisbane, Singapore, Trinidad, Bulgaria. We've got Ethiopia. Mauritius, Pakistan, Syria, Ireland, Brazil. Chat faster, please. I'm trying. Tijuana, there you go. Awesome, everybody's, I mean, we've covered a lot. People are starting to say different planets now, which is fun. I mean, I didn't, it's not a science class, but okay, we can go with all the, we can start naming planets for fun, I guess. I mean, let's be honest, if you're on those planets, you'd probably be dead as rude gets the 30 love. Let's be honest. You'd probably be struggling. By the way, Pluto's on a planet. So whoever wrote that, you got an F on the assignment. Pluto's on a planet. It's a, isn't it like an ice, like an icy rock? Not a planet. So you get a, you get an F. I'm sorry. F for nice try. And I get an F for English. English number one. 30 love as we had a second serve from rude. Rafa's got the first set right there if he wants it. Five, two, only one breaker serve, but you're playing Rafa the French open. So five, two is enough as we had a slice there from rude. Four now Rafa in the open court, rude with the pass, Rafa the volley to drop volley. It's too good. Unbelievable. Of course it is. It's way too good. 30, 15. Yeah, Pluto is Mickey Mouse's dog, exactly. Still, you failed the assignment. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Better luck next term. Next semester, you can redo the class. By the way, Rafa has won eight out of eight points at the net. He has not lost a point at the net. Very successful. First serve from rude is halfway up the net. Second serve, 30, 15. As rude serves to the back end of Rafa, four now rude into the back end of Rafa, rude with the volley. It's gonna be good. Rafa, ooh, can't get there. Rude let the ball bounce and it rolled. Very nice volley there from Casper Rude, 40, 15. 40, 15. Great stuff. I think I might have hit the line as well. So it got a little bit of, let's check. Yeah, hit the service line. So it kind of hit the line and just skid through. It's probably a skid mark on the court somewhere. 40, 15. Hope not. That would be disgusting. 40, 15. Serve out wide at the back end of Rafa, for a back end of Rude into the front end of Rafa. He hits it wide. When he went down the line, just missed the sidelines and it's five, three. Rafa serving with the first set. Yeah, Rafa is dead. Yeah, that is not wrong. He is winning a lot of, like all these points on his first serve. Very effective first serve percentage for sure for Rafa. 92%. Not a glitch. Not a glitch. If only he was wearing the Adidas shorts. Oh, yeah, that's it. That's it, Sarah. Those Adidas shorts, may they burn. In hell is Rafa serves for the set. Serve goes in the back end of Rude, but it's a fault. Second serve, by the way, shouts everyone over on Twitch. I see you. I see everyone following over on Twitch. What's up? Make sure you follow us on Twitch if you haven't already or watching us there. Thank you, appreciate that. Shout out to Kobe over there. What's up? All right, five, three. Rafa second serve, serving for the first set. He serves down the tier, the back end of Rude, back in at Rafa, into the back end of Rude. Now to the front of Rafa. Rafa now again with a four line from Rude, but Rude hits it out and it's 15 love. We'll assess what's going on with the stats. Rude is giving away too many free points. Straight up, but we'll get to that in a second. 15 love, Rafa going for the serve. Now since that first, like what was it, the third game of the match, he hasn't looked like he's in pain, Rafa. He looked a little bit sore at the start. He's looking okay now. He doesn't look like his movement's not affected. He's serving is still not his best, but he's at least is no double fault since. And he hasn't made any weird facial expressions that signify pain. So we'll keep an eye on that. As he second serve goes into the back end of Rude, four line from Rafa, into the back end of Rude, into the front of Rafa. Down the line to the front of Rude. Now Rude's on the stretch. Rafa got him down the line, but Rafa's gone wide with the back end. Down the line, it's 15 all. 15 all, 45 minutes played. Oh, 46 minutes played. 46 minutes played as the timer ticks down. Five, four, three, two, one. Rafa serves. As he serves into the back end of Rude, four line Rafa, into the back end of Rude, to the front of Rafa on the stretch. Rude with the back end down the line, that goes in the back end of Rafa. Rude with the forehand down the line, and that's a winner from Rude. That's a great shot from Kasper Rude. Wow. Man, he's got an underrated forehand. Very underrated forehand Kasper Rude. He's got a solid backhand, but he's forehand. Whew, that is danger. 15-30, a chance to get the break back, perhaps. 15-30. Rude has broken Rafa already in this match. As Rafa serves, out wide at the back end of Rude, and that goes out. Good serve from Rafa, just a classic lefty serve that cuts away to the backhand, especially effective if you're playing against a two-hander, if you really push them wide, and they, it's harder to reach. It's harder to reach with two hands than it is with one. I hope that you can see anything there. See, with two hands, it's like, ah, one hand, you can reach a little bit more. I've had a tennis record I'll show you. 30-all. Big point coming up here. Rafa serves down the team at the back end of Rude, and Rude hits a wide, and Rafa gets a set point. 40-30 to take the first set in this 14th French Open Final for Rafa. 40-30. They zoom in on random people in the crowd. What was going on there? The cameraman's drunk. He's drunk again. 40-30. Serve out wide at the back end of Rude, that goes wide. Rafa wins the first set, as Rude hits the ball of the umpire by mistake. Watch out! Watch out, umpire. Almost headbutted that one. Okay. Rafa and Adal win the first set, 6-3 in almost an hour, and that's just normal. Rafa's gonna leave the court, or is he just gonna get changed on court? I don't know. Watch out! Watch out! And Rafa with a big fist bump as well. That's a good, I like this umpire by the way. This umpire's a good one. He knows, he doesn't just, he actually explains his reasoning why he gives, like, I like this umpire. One of the good ones. All right, let's answer questions. Thanks for allowing us tennis lovers to have a Grand Slam final Sunday. No worries, thank you for joining us. Thanks, J-O, I appreciate it, mate. Can I see your message? Yeah, I can. Temporarily, might fly off the screen in a second. So Rafa in that first set. It says he hit 11 winners. He hit more winners than that. Nine unforced errors, but two double faults within those errors. Rude, nine winners, 11 errors. But the pressure points, I mean, Rude has chances. I mean, look at the second serve of Rafa. Not great. Rafa was very aggressive in the first games though. First eight games, hitting winners everywhere, but the pressure points. I mean, he's had a couple of chances, Rude, but Rafa's winning those pressure points. Those 30 old deuce points. You win more of those points. It's very hard to lose a match. Okay, do I play tennis? Yes, I do play tennis. Trying to tee up at a hit next week, maybe. It's supposed to rain all week though. It's crap weather, but I want to have a hit next week. When they check the strings, what are they checking? So they're checking for the tension of the string. So if some rackets, they usually would have different rackets for different tensions. So in different conditions, you want to have different type of rackets. So for, again, I think tennis spin is probably the best person to talk about this because he talks a lot about racket tension and stuff. YouTube channel, but in certain conditions, you want the strings to be tighter and sometimes you want the strings to be looser. Now, when the strings looser, it's more of a trampoline effect. So the ball kind of like boing, like blows off, like flies off it. Whereas with a bit more of a flatter, with more of a, what do you call it? A higher tension string, so it's tighter, strung. It works differently. So yeah, you know, it depends on the conditions and players have different tensions, depending on the conditions. Sometimes it's a hot day, so they have different tensions. Sometimes it's a cold day, so they have different tension. Sometimes players mid-match go, this is not working, I need another tension, different tension. So yeah, talk to Shrambini. Shrambini will know the answer 100%. That's great. Yeah, he's the man. Go to Shrambini. Rafa, a different animal on second Sunday in Paris. Yeah, for sure. For sure. Is Rafa playing his last tournament? He's been hinting all week. What do you say? No way. This is not Rafa's last French open. He hasn't been hinting. He's just been, I think he's just been preparing people for all of the things, right? He's like, hey, I could retire. It's like, yeah, so everyone can retire. I don't think I wouldn't read too much into it. Also, again, like Wimbledon, there hasn't been confirmation yet. Depends how he feels after today, I guess. But yeah, I mean, no. Rafa would retire. Nadalazon, 8 out of 8 atonette. Peter, yes. He has won every point he's come to the net with. That's, it's insane. Thank you for the donation. As Rafa gets to love 30, let's get straight back into it. But no, I don't think Rafa's gonna retire after this. Yeah, exactly. You think Rafa's gonna play the Olympics. Yeah, why wouldn't Rafa play next year? Why wouldn't he play, well, hopefully he plays the French open Olympics. Why wouldn't he play that? I know it's a couple of years away, but still. All right, return there from, Rafa goes long. The umpire's out of the chair very quick. He knows that Rafa's got top spin and the ball could have dropped. That's a very quick call from the lines person. The ball was out anyway. You cannot be serious. 15-30. Cam hates Rafa. That is so untrue, but thanks for the comments. That's so funny. Served now to the 400 Rafa. Four now from Rude into the 400 Rafa. Down the line goes into the front of Rude. Back in a Rafa, down to the front of Rude. Again to the front of Rafa. Rude with the front again, into the back end of Rafa. To the front of Rude. As we're back in a Rafa, again to the front of Rude. Rude's in control here, but hits the ball out. 15-40. Too many errors from Casper Rude today. Way too many errors. Is Federer there? I can't see him. I can't see him. I can't see Federer. I've heard he is meant to be going, but I can't see him. Cam likes Rafa. He loves the big three in general. Yeah, exactly. I don't know what that guy was talking about. That guy obviously doesn't know anything. Must be new. Welcome. As we return now to the 400 Rude. Back in a Rafa, down the line to the back end of Rude. With Rafa on the stretch. He gets it. Rude with the forehand, down the line. Rafa with the back end. Pass! Rude with the volley. Rafa runs. Gets it with the slice down the line. Rude with the volley. Rafa with the back end. Oh, it's in the net. That was almost the best point of the match. But Rafa just missed that back end smash. 30-40. Hits that over. Chairs fly. You know what I mean if you've been here before. You know what that means. 15, I'm sorry, 30, 30-40 now. Also thank you everybody who's liked the video. I appreciate the love. As Rude serves. Still at our break point as Rafa returns there to the front of Rude. Back end from Rafa. Into the front of Rude. Again to the back end of Rafa. Rude with the forehand. Again to the back end of Rafa. To the front of Rude. Again to that Rafa back end. Is there you go? Down the line now. The back end of Rude. Rafa's pushed Rude all the way back. And he puts away the win. Oh, no, he doesn't. Puts the forehand wide. Old face for that banana forehand. Goes wide. Deuce. Let me know in the chat. And I want you to guess the set score in this one. What do you reckon the set score is gonna be? Six, four, six, three, six, one. Seven, five. What do you reckon the set score is gonna be? Let me know in the chat. I wanna see what you guys think. The set score is gonna be. I guess you're impartial? Nah, look. That's all right. If you ever the first time you might've heard me say something like, Rude hits a winner and people would sometimes misinterpret that to be like I'm not going for, that I'm going for someone else. No. As Rude hits that one wide and Rafa gets another break point. I would like Rude to get into this match to make it interesting, right? Just like Goff yesterday. I wanted her to get into the match and make it interesting. But I did say Rafa's gonna win straight sets and I don't expect this to be close. So it's not like, it's not a shock to me that this is happening, but if it would be nice to see if Rude fight and make Rafa earn it a little bit. See Rafa do Rafa things, but right now that ain't happening. It's Rude at the forehand and that's a good shot from Rude. Rafa slices it wide and let's do this again. What are you going with six four or six two or six three? Do you think it may be one or two breaks? Something on seven five, okay. Okay. Six four. Okay. Pretty, I mean, I'm assuming everyone's saying Rafa, right? Is everyone saying Rafa or are people going with Rude? Has there been a drop shot there from Rude? Rafa runs, gets it, but it goes in the net. Oh, I almost got it Rafa. Whew. Had to run for that one. Advantage Rude. Advantage Rude to take the first game of this second set. He hit way too many areas in the first set and I mean, just Rafa did Rafa things. Serve into the four and a Rafa. Four and a Rude into the four and a Rafa who hits it in the net. Good hitting there from Rude. Using that forehand, very aggressive and it's one love Rude in the second. Doubles update. It was a golf lost in the doubles in three sets to the French. Can we get a preview of the power ranks? I won't have the power rankings done until midweek. So you're gonna have to wait, I'm sorry. I don't have them, I don't have them ready to go. All I can say is Eager's gonna stay on top. Let's be, I just, Eager will stay on top. She'll be number one, I'm sure. Until she loses, she won't be, she'll stay number one. Rude lost this match when he shaved his beard. Oh yeah, he did. He shaved his beard. Last for me. He went, oh he did, he lost. That's, who wrote that? That was a great comment. Who wrote that? EJ mate, you are, thank you for bringing that up. That might be the reason. Or it may be, who knows? He shouldn't have shaved. He went against his own superstition. He was doing the whole, I'm not shaving till I lose. And then he shaved and now he's losing. And he was back in a full hand rally. Has been a slice there from Rude into the fauna raffa to the back end of Rude. You know, the fauna raffa, again to the fauna Rude on the stretch, but Rude hits it in the net. I think he's probably shaved for the photos, let's be honest. He's like, I don't want to be remembered as a scruffy, you know, scruffy bearded finalist. Finalist. Cause he knew they were getting photos today, so he's like, I better look me best. You know, it's like, you know, class photos, gotta look me best. This is gonna go in the history of time. I can't have a scruff. Can't look like me. Yeah, can't look homeless. 15 love. Serve is a fault, but maybe not homeless. Homeless is when you have like a really gangly out crazy beard. More like you've been lost in the woods for like a week, and you've had to like shelter under a tree and eat bugs. That's what his beard looked like. That's what my eye looked like. I looked like I've been lost, or I've been streaming for a week. Has been a drop shot there and I haven't left my house. Very nice from Rude, but Raffa's gonna get there with a backhand pass and he puts it away. Raffa doing Raffa things. Unbelievable. You know what that means, 30 love. The guy in the very expensive suit who must be Spanish. I don't know who he is. He must be someone important that I'm too stupid to know. Is happy Raffa won that point? No shade to Rude. No, I'm not saying. The only reason I'm making fun of his appearance with that beard is because I look the exact same. Shave with a rock. Have you not watched Castaway? You can't shave. When you're lost, you can't shave. The roof is open by the way. No, the roof is not closed. It is open. 30 love. The roof is not. The roof will be open until it rains, I guess. As Raffa puts a backhand for a winner, 40 love. Actually, the sun's coming out. So that's interesting. 40 love. Raffa has hit four backhand winners so far. As he serves to the fine of Rude. Drop shot Raffa is good, but Rude gets it with a flick. Oh, what a shot from Casper Rude! This is gonna be our finish to you. Wow, he just kind of like, it looked like he wasn't gonna get there and then he just went boop, just little boop. Cross got boop. He's so casual. I mean, what an angle. Ran Raffa into the chair. That's one way to take him out. Run him into the chair. And he ran into the chair. He ran into this chair. By the way, there's a lady behind Raffa not wearing shoes. What are you doing, lady? Put your shoes back on. You're at the French open in the front row. Put on some shoes. That's been a four backhand from Raffa. That's a winner, one-one. My God. Lady's just taking off her shoes in the front row. Yuck! Come on now. You're in public. You're in the front row. Security's gonna take her out. No shoes, no service. One-one, second set. Boop is a class tennis tour. Yeah, boop is like a full, like that's a professional, that's a... It's not even three in the morning and I'm acting like this. As that goes out from Raffa on the return, good serve from Rood. 15-love and the sun's starting to come out. So this is interesting. It is gonna be patchy. I think it's pretty overcast today. So it's gonna be, there was a chance of rain. Not yet though. Someone's wearing a Norwegian flag as a scarf. Serve goes now to the front of Raffa, back in now from Rood, into the back end of Raffa, front of Rood into the front of Raffa, to the forehand of Rood. That goes in the front of Raffa. Rood with the forehand again, to the back end of Raffa to the front of Rood. Who goes down the line, who goes cross-court, he shanks it, Raffa gets a backhand. Back end of forehand, Raffa's forehand, Rood's backhand. It's been a constant all day. As Raffa goes in the open court for a winner, you loop it up to Raffa's forehand, that's what happens. 15-all. Just for the record, there was a lady with no shoes. There was like two seats either side, empty. So maybe that's why she took her shoes off. She's like, well, no one can smell my feet. So I might as well just relax. People waiting patiently to come back into the stands. 15-all. Serve down to the forehand of Raffa, forehand of Rood into the back end of Raffa, to the forehand of Rood. As we go down the back end of Raffa, goes up into the sky to the forehand of Rood, into the back end again of Raffa. They're both attacking each other's backhands as we go cross court to cross court, slice there from Raffa, now to the back end of Rood, into the forehand of Raffa. Rood with the forehand now down the line is a winner. What a shot. What a shot from Castor Rood. This is gonna be our biggest TV role. Just whipped it down the line. 30-15. Whoa, it just started raining real heavy in my house. Holy moly. It's not raining in the French, in my house. It's a passing show. We had crazy winds here, but nobody cares. Back end now down the line in the back end of Raffa, and that's gonna be wide. It's 40-15. By the donations that are coming through, we're gonna play them after this. So thank you. I can see your donations, peaches, one minute, and also anonymous. We'll get to you guys in a second, but thank you for the donations. We'll keep them until we get to a break. We'll play them. 40-15. Nancy. Maybe. There's been a serve out wide. Volley from Rood, very nice. Castor Rood, serve Volley, and he gets a two-one in the second. Greatest of all times, melt-dote. I have to get off the stream. Camtea chicsu for the two weeks, you may have tennis fun and enjoyable for the keep-up of the good work. Weston, jerk! You can't be serious, man. You cannot be serious! You are the good, Cam. Thanks from all of us for the great job at RG. 14-1 for each over a fast four wins. Thank you, anonymous. Thank you, peaches. Thank you. Have a good one, peaches. We'll see you next time. Bye, Felicia. And thank you, anonymous for the 14. Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm just glad you guys enjoy. Thanks for donating. We also got one from one minute. It's not too bad. Camtea plz.com, two-open NYC. Want to see us air? Uh, maybe if I can afford it, I mean, I don't know. Is there anywhere I can, where can I stay? Is there somewhere I can stay in New York for the whole time? Does New York have good internet? That's all I need. But thank you for the donations again. Appreciate it. You don't have to donate to see you guys know out there. You don't have to donate. It's by Lewandowski. Is that how I say his name? The football guy? He just rocked up. He just rocked up. Is women doing it easy to bet on or not? There'll be less, there'll be a lot more random players playing that event, so it might not be as easy. Is Federer in the stadium? Apparently he is. We haven't seen him. And no, like, as soon as he gets on the big screen, people are gonna lose their shit. So just wait and see. When Federer gets there, people are gonna go nuts if he does actually rock up. As Rafa puts that in the net, love 15. If Federer, are they gonna, if Federer gonna give out the trophy, surely not. Surely Federer's not gonna give out the trophy. That'd be weird as hell. If Federer gave Rafa the trophy, that'd be weird. But when he comes out, people are gonna lose their minds because it's Roger Federer. I mean, he's the most popular player in 20 years in a row, right? Rafa the half volley there in the net. Okay, let's get back to this. Love 30. Love 30. Is he sitting in the stands? Let me know in the chat. Federer's in Switzerland. Oh, okay. I know, I did hear that Federer was gonna go there. I did hear murmurs that he was gonna go. But I don't know, maybe they're waiting for him to come out and give out the trophy. I don't know, I don't know. Maybe that keeping him under surprising as a surprise. Love 30. I mean, look, it would be classy Federer to give Rafa his 20 second trophy. I mean, you know, it would be, Federer would do that. Like, he wouldn't be like salty about it. Not to Rafa, anyway. As we're gonna find out from Rafa into the back end of Rood, into the front of Rafa. Again, to the back end of Rood. As we're gonna find out Rafa into the open court, Rood on the front end of his own. As we get a find out from Rafa down the line, Rood with the back end, into the front of Rafa again. To the back, to the front of Rood, into the front of Rafa. Rood with the back end, cross court is good. Rafa on the stretch. Rood now with a slice down the line. Rafa's gonna get there with a slice in the net. Love 40. Kasper Rood making this a match. Not too bad. Rood is making this a match. And the crowd are going, Rood. They're losing their minds for Rood. Love 40. To get the break and lead. I didn't see this coming. I didn't see this coming. Love 40. Massive upper chance, upper chance, upper chance. Yeah. Why not? Love 40 as we get a second serve now for Rafa. Can Rood take the break and lead in the second? Second serve Rafa. Double fault. Double fault Rafa and Rood gets, he gets it. He gets that break on a silver platter and it's a 3-1 to Rood. Greatest of all times, belt goat. Hey, thank you, Magdalena for the 20. Appreciate that. Thank you so much. If Fetter is jealous, why would Fetter be jealous? All right, 3-1. Let's get back to it. Thank you, Magdalena. That's very generous of you. There's been a 4-1 that goes long from Rood and it's love 15. Rafa has dropped his level. That's for sure. For sure dropped his level. Love 15. Serve goes long from Rood, second serve. Second serve into the 4-1 of Rafa, 4-1 from Rood into the back end of Rafa, to the 4-1 of Rood on the stretch. That goes down the line for a great shot. Rafa gets it. Just, Rood comes in with a forehand and hits a winner. Casper Rood, way too good. This is going to be our finish to you. He's taken it to another level, Rood. Cleaned up those errors from the first set and he's catching Rafa off guard a bit here. I mean, that was a great shot. Just flicked it down the line. Very quick running from Rood. 15-all. Serve out wide to the back end of Rafa, into the 4-1 of Rood, to the 4-1 of Rafa. They're just hitting a bit loopy ball at the moment as we're back end of Rafa down the line, into the back end of Rood and Rood hits it long. 15-30. 15-30. One hour and 15 minutes played. First set, Rafa 6-3, it was pretty straight forward. But Rood's gotten into this now. He's stopped hitting so many errors, but also Rafa's dropped his level. That double fault in the last game, giving away the break. As Rood serves out wide to the 4-1 of Rafa, 4-1 of Rood into the 4-1 of Rafa, up goes a lob, Rood lets it bounce, it goes wide, 30-all. And this is leveled up too, the pressure points. 30-all, Deuce, those points have tightened up. 30-all, there's a massive point in for Kasper Rood. Gotta win this one to get that game. First serve goes in the net. Second serve. Second serve to the back end of Rafa, 4-1 of Rood is out. He went aggressive and he just pushed it wide. 30-40. Chance to Rafa to get back the break straight away. And again, like I said, these pressure points, they are the difference between champions and contenders. Champions win them, contenders don't, and that's the difference between who lifts trophies. So that's why these pressure points start. I'm so glad we have it on the screen now so you guys know what's up. We've been showing it to all French Open, so I'm glad we have it as well. Really tells what's happening as we have a serve now down the tier, the back end of Rafa into the 4-1 of Rood. To the back end of Rafa, 4-1 of Rood. Again to the back end of Rafa, into the 4-1 of Rood. Rood just keeps running around, he's back end. Now Rafa goes to his back end, into the back end. Now Rafa runs around his back into the 4-end as we're a 4-1 to 4-1 rally. Back end from Rafa, sitting a bit of a moon ball Rafa at the moment as he hits another back end, high and loopy. Into the 4-1 of Rood. Back end of Rafa, cross court again. Rood's gonna get there with a slice since going out, Rafa breaks back. And then a little fist bump. Rafa's back on serve, just like that. Okay, back on serve. Questions. Also a big shout out to Nathaniel who just gifted a membership to Omar. Omar, welcome mate, you are now officially a member for the first month via Nathaniel who introduced you to the members club. So welcome, if you wanna become a member it's only a dollar a month. We also have Silly Scoop who became a member as well during the stream. So thank you so much guys, welcome to the members. You are now members, members of Green Names, Green Names of Goats, that's how it works. If you wanna become a member, blah, blah, blah. Okay, I said 7-5 Rood, let's see what happens. All right, go Rafa, there you go. Cam, what are your thoughts on meat pies? Okay, random question, but from a random dude. Why Wimbledon is only four weeks away because the grass court season is only five weeks long? That's just how it works. Yeah, Wimbledon is literally three weeks away, yeah. Kasper will sue Rafa for not teaching all his winning tricks. Hey, yeah, look, what's that saying when the master and the apprentice, you know, I taught you everything you know, I didn't teach you everything I know and that's Rafa. He's taught Rood everything that Rood knows, but he hasn't taught Rood everything that Rafa knows. Gotta keep summing up the sleeves so the master keeps beating the apprentice. You don't wanna give all the tricks away, especially when they're still competing. No, Wimbledon, there's a lot of grass court tournaments happening next week, actually. There's six tournaments on the men's and six on the women's before Wimbledon, so there's a lot, there's a lot. There's a bit of backhand there from Rafa and that's a winner. Lovely backhand pass from Rafa and it's 15 love. Do I ship T-shirts for members? What do you mean? The members get T, what? Members can get T-shirts, yeah, I mean, I don't know, what were you asking? The merch is available for everybody. If you want one, if you want stuff. Anyways, 15 love. Drop shot from Rafa is too good. This is gonna be our finish to you. Way too good from Rafa, he just went. That's what he did. Second drop shot winner, just a little tap. That's what that sound means, it means tap. Into the open court, 30 love. Sun's coming out as well now, interesting. Conditions warming up a little. The sun might be a problem for serving. I mean, we're keeping on that as well. Serve down T is a fault. Second serve, second serve. Rafa. Down the T to the back end of Rude, four-hand Rafa, into the back end of Rude, to the forehand of Rafa. Rude with the back end again, going into the forehand of Rafa, to the back end of Rude. Another back end of forehand exchange, Rafa keeps hitting forehands, as he hits the forehand out, cross court again to the slice of Rude. It's a drop shot, that's a great drop shot. Rafa's gonna get there with the slice down the line, put it away. I think Rude was spectating a little bit there. Hit the drop shot, and just watch him, and that's pretty good, and Rafa was already there, I mean. Not much that Rafa, Rude could have done though, let's be honest. When Rafa's got the drop shot, he's gonna do anything with it. If he can get there in time, and he got there with time to spare. Great slice down the line, it's a 40-love Rafa, to get back, to get back even. Lovely drop shot though from Rude. It would have worked against everybody else. It would have worked against everybody else. First serve's a fault. Second serve, 40-love. Rude had the break 3-1, if you're just joining us by the way. He was winning this set. As we're gonna return from Rude, that hit the tape goes into the net, and it's 3-3 in the second. Okay, three all, sun's out, which I don't think we expected. I mean, looking at the weather forecast, I thought it was gonna be under a roof. So it doesn't seem like Federer is anywhere in the stadium. So if he is there, he's hiding, he's watching it from the locker room or something. And he ain't in the seats. Maybe he's waiting for Rafa to go up two sets of love, and then he poke his head out and sit in the stands. Or maybe he doesn't wanna jinx Rafa. Serve out while it's back into Rafa, 4-9 Rude, into the backhand of Rafa. Backhand Rude in the open court, Rafa with the forehand into the 4-9 Rude, into the 4-9 Rafa. Rude with the forehand again, down the line of the backhand of Rafa. That goes in the forehand of Rude on the stretch. That's a great shot from Rude. Rafa gonna get there with a slice. Rude with the backhand. Rafa with a 4-9, he can't get it. Rude too good. Nice! From Casper Rude. That's the kind of points you gotta play just to get one point of Rafa. Relentless. Federer's not there. There you go. Rafa with a bit of a clap of the racket. He's like, yeah, that was a good shot. Great angle. Great angle from Rude. If there was room as that Federer would be there, but he must have chose not to go. 15, love. Second serve, Rude. As Rude serves, down the tee to the backhand of Rafa. 4-9 Rude into the backhand of Rafa. To the forehand of Rude on the stretch. And Rude hits it out. 15 all now. If you're just joining us, Rude. He was up 3-1 in this set. Rafa's won the last two games. So the momentum is back with Rafa. Let's see if Rude can get this game. Get back in front and just keep Rafa away. Just hold him off. Hold him off. Stay in front. That's the most important thing about this set for Rude. It's just to keep holding serve. Keep staying in front. Don't let Rafa get that break. Serve out wide. Good serve. Rafa gets it back, but it's out. 30-15. Great serve out wide from Rude. Who shaved his beard and lost all his powers. 30-15. Almost an hour and a half into this one. You'll all remember the Djokovic match and this rare match. The first sets took about this long. So this is a quick match. Compared to what we've seen. Serve down to the backhand of Rafa. For now Rude into the backhand, but it's out from Rude. And it's 30-all. Real big danger here. Also shout out to the person in the chat that said in the start of the stream, when Rafa wins the first set, at the French Open he's 100 wins and one loss. Pretty good. Does anyone know who that one loss was too? Let me know in the chat. Trivia time. Serve down to the forehand of Rafa that goes into the forehand of Rude. To the backhand slice of Rafa. Rude with the forehand into the open court. Rafa's gonna get there with a lob. Rude with a smash. Put it down. Rafa's there with the backhand. Rude with a volley. Rafa's gonna get there with a slice. And Rude puts away the smash. 40-love, good game or good point from Rude. 40-30. Djokovic's last year. Correct, correct. Djokovic's last year. No, not beyond Boog. Unless Rafa figured out how to do time travel? No. No, it was last year. Semi-finals. Lost the, won the first set. Rafa then lost it in four. I think against Sotaling, Rafa won the first set. Against Sotaling. As Rude serves a let, I think he won the first, I'm trying to find the number, what the number, what the set was. It was like six, it was seven, five first set. Yeah, one, oh no, sorry. Yeah, Rafa lost the first set against Sotaling. Six-two and then came back, but then lost in four. So yeah, only Djokovic has beaten Rafa. After Rafa won the first set at this venue in over almost 20 years and over a hundred matches, you're crazy. Crazy. 40-30. Rude trying to get the lead again as he serves. Down the tee as Rafa runs around and hits a four-hand, four-hand Rude to the four-hand Rafa, into the back end of Rude. Down the line to the back end of Rafa to the cross court of four-hand of Rude. Four-hand to back end, now Rafa going to the back end of Rude, into the back end of Rafa. Rube with the back end cross court, hit the tape and goes out, where it do's. Where it do's. Huge game for Casper Rude. Rafa wins this. He's going, he's running past. He's flying past him. It's what the sound of someone running past you sounds like. You know, if you've been lapped, it gets worse as I keep doing it. Gets worse. You know what I mean. Back to doos in another game, it's Rude with the serve, out wide at the back end of Rafa, great return, Rude with the slice, Rafa with the four-hand, into the open court, it's a win over Rafa. This is gonna be our thing to do. Inside out four-hand winner, but he set it up with the return and he's now got break point to get a four-three lead in the second. To get a four-three lead in the second. Six-three, Rafa on the first set. It could be another six-three, it could be a six-four. If Rafa can get this point, Rude with the serve, Rafa comes to the net as he hits a four-hand, but Rude with the, Rafa, Rude hit it out, Rude hit it out. The lob was out. And the up-high confirms, Rafa breaks. So Rude hit the serve, Rafa returned, eventually came to the net and Rude hit the lob that goes long. Four-three, Rafa in the second. Rafa's won the last, what is it, four games? Three games. Three games in a row. Okay. Questions? That's my question! The question, jerk! Rude better win, I bet a lot of money on him. Good luck. Is it over? I think two sets of love, nothing's ever over, but it's as over as, unless something crazy happens. Let us show Federer, but you won't recognize him. Why? Is he wearing a beard? Is he wearing a costume? Your thoughts on Rafa playing Wimbledon? I think he is unlikely to play, but I, there's no confirmation. So he could play, he could play, but there's no confirmation. So I'm gonna say it's unlikely, but it's unlikely. But I mean, I think he should. You can rest in July, I think he should play. Like literally, after Wimbledon, he's got nothing to do. Like July, there's nothing. August, just start the American season a little bit later. Do it, start in mid-August. So if he wants a break, he can have like six weeks off after Wimbledon. You know, if he doesn't, if he wins the whole thing, then obviously he won't get as much break, but why give up the opportunity of a potential calendar slam? You know what I mean? Like you won the first two, try and win them all. It's only the second time in his career that he's, sorry, it'll be the first time in his career that he's won the first two slams. So why not go for the history? You know, 2009 is the last time he won the Australian Open, then he lost the French. So it's the first time he'll be going into Wimbledon winning both the slams. So it's a unique, once in a career opportunity. So I think he should play just for that opportunity. If he gets halfway through and he's in pain, he can just retire and withdraw, but I think he should at least give it a crack. I mean, look at Jogger's last year, right? Won the first two slams, then he played Wimbledon, got an easy draw, easy draw and beat everyone in his path. And then he got to the French Open, got to the US Open final. So I think Nadal had, it'd be such a shame if he didn't try for the calendar slam, given that he's, he worked his ass off to win Australia. He worked his butt off of this tournament to beat some really crazy, I mean, FAA, he's beaten four top 10 guys to win this tournament. It's probably the hardest French Open he's had to play ever. Look at the guys he's beaten. FAA, who I think is number nine, Djokovic, Zverev, and now Rude. I mean, he's beaten, this is probably the hardest French Open he's had to win. Australian Open was obviously tough when you look at that. I just think it'd be so, unless he seriously can't play, like he's like on crutches or something, just give him, he should just, for the fans, he should give the fans a chance to celebrate like a dream, to dream of a grant, a career, a calendar slam. You know what I mean? 40 love. It would be such a shame if he just didn't even try to go for the history. Anyways, big A's down the team from Raffer and he's up five, three in this set. Five, three in the second and he's already got a set in his pocket. Anyways, does that mean anything? Probably not, because Raffer does his own thing. He's probably not bothered by that, but I feel like he, no, he doesn't owe the fans anything, but just like, it's a once in a career opportunity. Just go for it. You know, go for it. You know, if he's, after three rounds, if he's like, man, I'm dying here, just, he can just quit. He can just, he can just withdraw. And I don't think fans would be, but give it a crack, you know, give it a crack. I can see him swimming in Wimbledon and winning the US Open. Yeah. I mean, that'll be the compromise, right? But I still just think, man, just, just give the fans, give the fans the, give the fans the hope of a calendar slam, you know? I'd be such a shame if he, if he didn't even try, go for it, you know? It's rare. It never happens. When was, I mean, how many times have we seen the first two slams we won? And someone going to Wimbledon with that possibility? As we're at a point, if Raffer pushes wide, 15 love. By the way, thank you, Jack. We'll get to your donation after this game, mate. Just got the donos on hold for now. Why are there no points at Wimbledon? Because the Russians were banned and the ATP reacted to that. Well, the ATP WTA reacted. And I mean, if you're going to play Wimbledon, this year is the year to play Wimbledon because you've got Djokovic in your way, that's it. If you're Raffer Nadal, this is going to be one of the lightest fields at Wimbledon going around. Your draw could be very easy. You know, Alcares and those guys could be up the top. Raffer would be seeded number two. I mean, why wouldn't he play? He wouldn't, he'd avoid Djokovic to the final. There's been a backhand slice there from Rude. Raffer with a volley is too good, 15-0. I mean, this is the, we know Zverev's not going to be there. We know Medvedev's not going to be there. Rubelev's not there. So the seedings would be Djokovic number one, Raffer number two, which means he avoids Nolay, who's the hardest player in the, probably the hardest Wimbledon guy. Sure, he might play Alcares, but he won't play Alcares until like the semis at the very earliest going by the seeds, you know? But who knows? The luck of the draw could give Djokovic a nightmare. He could play, Djokovic could be playing Baratini and Shapo and all those crazy guys from last year, her catch. And Rude could be in Raffer's quarter. That'd be awesome for Raffer. Since he passed would be in Raffer's quarter, maybe. You know, never know. I feel like it's the best chance. It's a great chance. I mean, it's a big opportunity. Backhand down the line at the back end of Rude, Foynter from Raffer doesn't need to be hit because Rude hits a long, 15-30. Let me know in the chat, do you want Raffer to play Wimbledon? Or do you think he should skip it to go play the rest? I mean, I personally, like for all the things I just said, I want Raffer to play Wimbledon because there's so much, there's so much at stake. You know, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, you know? Not just for Raffer, but for us. We nearly got it last year, but for us it would be a once in a lifetime to see that potential Grand Slam calendar slam. Once in a lifetime, if you didn't watch Labor do it, or Steffi, which I didn't watch either. I wasn't around for either of those. Let's get back to this side, 15-30 because Raffer's about to get the second set. To the front of Rood, to the front of Raffer. Into the front of Rood. Again, to the front of Raffer. Back in our Rood is a drop shot, kind of slice shot in the middle of the court, and Raffer puts it away because it's just not good enough. This is gonna be our biggest TV role. 15-40, Raffer for a two sets of Love Lead in the French Open Final of 2022. Some of you are saying skip. Most of you are saying play, okay? Yes for Wimby. Now I think, look, if Raffer's feeling good, even if he's not, he should still play. Come on now. Just grit your teeth and fight through it. Serve into the net. Second serve, Rood. Big trouble here for Casper Rood. Rood with a serve. Into the back end of Raffer. Four now, Rood. Doesn't need to be hit. Raffer hits it long, 30-40. 30-40, 30-40. Big chance for Raffer to get this game and then serve in the third. So first, return now from Raffer into the front of Rood into the back end slice of Raffer. He puts it wide and it's doos again. Rood does a good job of saving the set points. Play for sure. All right, doos. And a bit of serve. Down the tee, the front of Raffer that goes into the front of Rood, into the back end of Raffer. Four now, Rood again is wide and Raffer gets another set point. Third set point. Third set point, Raffer to get a two set to love lead in this French Open Final and he's never lost from two sets down. Well, two sets up. He's never lost from two sets up. Not at this venue. Not at this venue. And Vantage Raffer. Rood with a serve. Now wide to the front of Raffer. Four now, Rood into the back end of Raffer. Rood on the attack here as he goes into the back end slice of Raffer. Rood comes in again with a forehand. Into the back end slice of Raffer. Raffer just defending, Rood in control. As he hits a forehand again to the slice of Raffer. Raffer just keeps getting it back though. Rood with a forehand, that's a great shot. Raffer with a slice in the net. Nice from Casper Rood and we're back to Deuce. Back to Deuce. Also, thank you everybody. We got. We got the 2K likes. Thank you for showing the love. Appreciate it. Don't forget to subscribe. We are coming back for the grass season in literally a couple of days. So we watch tennis all year. You're just new to the channel. We'll see you again pretty soon. And also Wimbledon's coming up. So don't be a stranger. Make sure you join us for that as well. Second serve, Rood has saved three set points. We got to return that from Raffer to the front of Rood. Down the line to the front of Raffer, sliced. Now Rood with a forehand into the front of Raffer, goes down the line and hits a winner. If you're going to hit it to the forehand, it better be good. That wasn't good enough. Rood pays Raffer set point again. Unbelievable. Man, you go inside out on your forehand. You better be good. Rood just left the entire court and Raffer's like, really? Really? You're going to play me like that? You ain't getting no points for that. Remember Rood was up 3-1 in the set? Raffer's about to win five games in a row. Just when we thought Rood was turning it around, Raffer says, no, that is not going to happen. Advantage Raffer, fourth set point. As Rood serves, a fault. Oh, second serve. Second serve Rood. He serves a double fault. Oh man, the worst possible way to lose a set. Just gives the set away. Raffer wins five games in a row, takes the second set. He's up two sets of love and he doesn't lose from here. Can Rood make the 30, you know, interesting? Maybe. Anyways. Yeah, look, I've been holding off on this very of jokes because he's, you know, that was, I mean, he's still recovering from that horrific injury. But yes, that was his very of thing to do. He did his very of thing. He did his very of thing. First double fault as well. That one hurts even more. But Raffer, 6-3, 6-3. He's up two and oh. Can Rood fight back? That's the thing. Now, maybe what Rood should have done was read the singles playbook because this actually tells you how to beat a lefty. So have you ever had troubles playing a lefty in your matches? Big shout out to the singles playbook from Fuzzy Yellow Balls. Make sure you join. It doesn't look like that in real life. In real life, it looks like this. They're sponsored the entire French Open. If you haven't bought it by now, it's free shipping in the US until the end of the tournament. Go grab it if you're a tennis player. This is what you need. It's got lessons by Martina Navarrolauba. It's got Brian Brothers doing doubles because there's a doubles playbook as well. You can get. So grab it. If you have trouble against lefties, Kasper Rood, he needs to buy this. He needs that book. He needs this, Kasper Rood. He needs this to beat Raffer because it ain't working today. 12 winners from Raffer, five unforced errors in that set. He played solid Raffer, but is this those errors from Rood? Just given points away. Okay, now we've got some donations coming through and then we'll answer questions. If really the court, he should. If Nadal will win, really beyond disputed the good. Good question, Peter. That is a good question. I'll answer that in a second. Greatest of all time is Mount Goat. Thank you, Jack for the 20. Appreciate that, mate. We've been generous the entire week. It's about too bad. Rafa won't make it two second week if he plays with him, but don't any nosy. Thank you, Dibs for the two. Goat, goat, goat, goat, goat, goat. Greatest of all time is Mount Goat. Amazing job announcing this tournament. Can't wait for the next. Cheers from the US. Thank you, Chris, for the 50. Holy crap. Thank you. Yeah. Thanks. Appreciate it. Thank you also, Peter, Dibs, Jack again. Man, thank you, Chris. That's very generous. You don't have to do that. You know that, right? You can donate a dollar and you get your message read as well. Holy hell, I broke my chair. Thank you, Chris. Thank you. Appreciate it. We'll be watching Wimbledon in a couple of weeks. In a couple of weeks. Rafa's left the court by the way, so that's what the delay is. Man, let's answer questions. Question, the question, Jack. Why is everyone standing up? Because Rafa has left the court, so everyone's just trying to stretch their legs. I saw Roger over here, is Rafa going to retire? No, I don't think Rafa's going to retire. If Rafa retires today, holy crap. That would be the most unexpected thing ever. Camus Olympics played on indoor Paris courts or French Open courts. French Open courts. The reason why they're building another roof at the French Open is mainly because of the Olympics being played on clay at the French. So Roland Garros is the venue, not the indoor courts in Paris. It's the, they're going to play here. The Olympics is going to be played here on the clay. So yeah. Who do I favor at Wimbledon? I mean, look, obviously no way. Djokovic is the, I mean, he's the guy. Thank you though, Chris, seriously, that was very generous. Of course he's not retiring, exactly. I'm not, I mean, it would be crazy if he did. How's Root playing? Not good enough. 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. Thank you, Robert, for the 20. He also gave the $14 earlier. One book for each of Rafa's foos. Thank you, Penelope, for the, you were the anonymous donation. Thank you, Penelope. Thank you, Robert. By the way, they're going through every single person in the crowd, Arno Clamont. Henri Laconte, they're cheering every single celebrity, some random dude now. Rafa's coming back, it's all happening. Yeah, let's not talk about retirements. I mean, that'd be insane. Yeah, Michael Douglas's hair is ridiculous. I mean, the dude's like 80 years old. He's got like good hair for an 80-year-old. I mean, his hair, his hair is on point. As far as his age is concerned. That's crazy to think that Michael Douglas is as old as my grandpa. That is insane. Big smile, Rafa looking super strong. Yeah, Rafa's looking super strong. His final is very subpar. Hey, look, I think we expected this, right? We expected this to happen. We thought Rafa was gonna win straight sets. He's winning straight sets. I mean, it's what we thought. I don't think we're shocked by this. Do you want Rafa to play Wimbledon? Yes. I want Rafa to play Wimbledon. I want Rafa to play Wimbledon. I want Rafa to play Wimbledon. Like everybody wants him to play, right? I mean, most people, unless you are worried about his foot. I think most of us want him to play. I want him to play for history, all that stuff. Okay. I thought you're a Nolle fan. Well, look, people think I'm in all kinds of things. Some people think I'm a person. I'm a human, but... Surprise! I mean, that's... 6-3, 6-3. Man, you better shut your fuck up, okay? If you've only hit left and you don't say sorry, you think you're a good kid. I don't have to stop when you kept doing like this to the team. It's a bullshit rush, and you think this is normal? I'm just an Irine Toutenis. 73, love the channel, got the virus at her gelasty, and wears a tecle. Thank you, Anonymous. 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. Kamarroger watching Nadal. Thank you, Jay for the 20. Great work. Thank you, Fonzie, as well. We're just going to pause this for now. Roger's not there. I don't think he's there. I mean, we haven't seen him. Just one year in the tennis. I'm glad. Where's the heckler? He's not here right now. He might show up later, though. But thank you, Anonymous, for the 10. All right, Raffer with the first point. 15, love. Raffer takes the first point of the third set. Serve out wide at the back end of Rood. Foyner, Raffer down the line, hits the tape and doesn't go over 15 all. Let me know in the chat. Is Raffer winning this set? Is he out of here in three? Or is it going to be a fourth? Are we getting a fourth? Are we getting a fourth? What do you reckon this set's going to be? Let me know in the chat. What score? I don't think we're going to get a fifth. But I love to be wrong. Serve down to the back end of Rood. Foyner from Raffer into the back end of Rood, into the front of Raffer. Again, to the back end of Rood. Raffer the forehand. Again, to that back end of Rood, to the forehand of Raffer. Again, to the back end of Rood. Raffer keeps going to that back end, but Rood hits it out. 30-15. I just feel like Raffer's going to get a break early and that's it. We'll see. I love Rood to make a set though. That would be epic. 30-15. The only reason why they wouldn't be showing Federer, maybe it's because he's the guy giving out the trophy and they want to surprise Raffer. I mean, that's the only thing you could be thinking. As Rood hits it in the net, 40-15. Okay. 40-15, Raffer. Let's get the first game of the third. And if this does go to Raffer, it's going to be a two and a half hour match, but that's just normal. As Raffer serves down the tee, the back end of Rood. Foyner, Raffer, into the back end of Rood. Again, to the front of Raffer. Rood with the forehand. Cross-court is wide. And he goes to the chair down one, love Rood. Remember, Rood lost six games in a row. He was up 3-1 in that second set. And you can see there, the score has changed. It changed pretty, I mean, when five games the other way. I don't know if Rood is pretending the trophy. That's the only explanation why he wouldn't be in the stands if he's there. He was in Paris and he left. Yeah, I don't think Federer's there. But if he is there, the only explanation would be that he's given the trophy up because he's not sitting in the stands. Or he's not sitting anywhere that anyone can see. They would have shown him. They would have shown him for sure. Okay, Raffer first game, one love. In the third, as Rood looks to get on the board as well. Rood with the serve, into the net. Second serve, Rood goes to the back end of Raffer. Foyner, Rood, into the back end of Raffer. Rood on the stretch, Raffer with the back end down the line, Rood's nowhere to be seen. And it's love 15. Love 15. And this could get real ugly real quick. I mean, look, Raffer has dropped the third set in finals before. We talked about that earlier. That there are guys that have beaten Raffer or taken the third set off Raffer to go to a fourth at the French Open in their finals. But I don't know, I just don't think Raffer's gonna be like generous in this one. But it's not banking Raffer being generous. 15 all, as Rood serves a fault. Second serve, as Rood serves to the back end of Raffer. Foyner, Rood, into the back end of Raffer. Down the line goes into the back end of Rood. Foyner from Raffer, again to the front end of Rood into the back end of Raffer. As Raffer hits it long, 30-15. 30-15, strange error there from Raffer. I think Rood has too much respect for Raffer. It's hard to play your idols. Yeah, that could be part of it. I mean, not that the guys that play well against Raffer don't have respect, but yeah, if you put them on a pedestal, especially when it's the first time you're playing them, it always is. I mean, yeah, Rood's got a lot going on today. He's playing his idol in a French Open final. His first Grand Slam final. It's the first time against Raffer. There's a lot of things going on in Rood's side of it. It's not easy. As we're at a 400 back end rally, Raffer now with the back end of the front of Rood on the stretch. Rood hits it out and we're at 30-all. 30-all. I think that at this point, the only thing that Rood has is possibly the fitness, but that won't, might not make a difference long-term. Because we might be out of here in about half an hour. 30-all. Raffer serves. Sorry, Rood serves to the back end of Raffer. Raffer now from Rood into the back end of Raffer. Again to the front of Rood. Who hits the tape goes in. Raffer comes in with a forehand and he puts it away. It's 30-40. And this is bad. Raffer hasn't lost a game since 3-1 down in the second. He is on a streak right now. Nice one from Raffer. Too good. The tape robbed Rood, but I mean Raffer, too easy. Another break point. A lot of break points for Raffer in this one. As Rood serves. A let. 30-40. First serve again. As Rood serves a fault. Second serve. Second serve goes to the back end of Raffer. Raffer with a moon ball into the front of Rood. Back end of Raffer. Again to the front end of Rood. Into the back end of Raffer. That's a cross-court winner from Raffer. And he gets the break. Two-love in the third. Raffer cruising to victory here. Cruising to victory. And unless he has a meltdown, which this man has never done. He never lost the match because of his emotions. Raffer's gonna lift this trophy. Four games away. Raffer's won 70 points to Rood's 50, that's 20 points more. I mean, not that that makes any difference, but also, I mean, yeah, Raffer's just winning so many more points. Which shows why the scores are the way they are. Two-love, Raffer. As he serves, down the tee to the back end of Rood. That goes to the back end of Raffer. Four now, Rood. Again to the back end of Raffer. Into the forehand of Kasper Rood. Now a back end from Raffer. Again to the front of Rood. Raffer with a back end. Down the line now. Rood with the back end of his own. Into the forehand of Raffer. Now a back end from Rood. Again to the forehand of Raffer. Who goes into the net. Love 15. Love 15. And Kasper Rood's dad looks like a coach. I mean, no emotion. No emotion. He's just kind of sitting there. Just chilling. But you can tell that he looks a little lost, I guess. As his son is. As we get a drop shot there from Rood on the return to the Raffer forehand. Raffer smacks that cross court. Get that out of here. 15-all. Easy winner there from Raffer. He hit the drop shot and then he just put the forehand cross court. Four winner. Two hours played in this one. And it might be over in the next 20. It's probably the quickest match of the week for Raffer. Crazy. Play some long matches. Even though the straight sets, you know, we've seen, I mean, the match against Zverev was, I mean, we went halfway through the second set or not even. At this point, he's been a forehand now from Raffer into the back end of Rood. Into the back end of Raffer. Cross court to the forehand of Rood. Raffer with a volley. Rood runs. Gets him with a slice. And that's a winner from Rood. Very nice. This is gonna be on Penis TV. Little flick behind him in his 15-30. Very nice little flick. And maybe Rood can get the break back. Hey, who knows? Who knows? Lovely shot from Rood. It was a no-look flick cross court winner. Raffer with a little clap of the racket. Rood's done a couple of those shots that's made Raffer get a little bit, you know, give him a bit of a round of applause. First serves a fault from Rood. Second serve. Second serve. Raffer. Taking all his time here. He serves now to the forehand of Rood. Back end of Raffer on the stretch. Rood running to his forehand. Now back end from Raffer. Again to the forehand of Rood. Down the line to the forehand of Raffer. Gets it, hits the tape, goes in. Forehand from Rood. Again to the forehand of Raffer. To the back end of Rood. Sliced. Raffer getting back in control now. Is he to forehand inside after a winner? And that's Raffer's forehand. If you didn't know, now you do. And Rood's had to deal with this forehand all day. He's never felt this before. This wicked topspin forehand. And he's made some bad mistakes because he just doesn't know what to do yet. He's never played this. And he'll learn. I mean, it's a harsh lesson to learn in a final, but he'll learn not to hit the ball short to that forehand at all costs. I mean, don't go near it. 30-all, Raffer. Trying to get to three-love in this third set. Serve down and see the back end of Rood. That goes into the forehand of Raffer. Back end of Rood. Again to the forehand of Raffer who goes down the line. Rood gets it with a forehand. Raffer with the back end now into the forehand of Rood down the line to the forehand of Raffer. Now Rood's back in control as Rood hits a slice. For whenever Raffer open calls a winner again, that inside out forehand winner is Raffer's special. 40-30, 40-30. Well, let me know in the chat. I want to know. We've probably got a bunch of new people in here. Whereabouts are you from? Let us know where you're watching from. Where are the Spaniards at? Are you celebrating yet? The Spanish viewers, what are you up to? Celebrating, let us know in the chat where you're from. As Raffer serves into the back end of Rood, that goes into the back end of Raffer. For now Rood, again to the back end of Raffer, into the forehand of Rood. As Raffer hits a slice. Rood doing a good job in this rally. He runs right into forehand. It's a drop shot. Raffer doesn't need a run because it goes in the net and it's three love. Unbelievable. Raffer three love in the third. Well, we've got some Spaniards in the house. Love to see it. India as well. Nice New Zealand, Philippines. 22 loading and it sure is. It's about 99% there. Ecuador, South Korea, Canada, Vietnam, New Jersey. Awesome stuff. Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Croatia. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Thank you, Joe, for the Super Sticker. Appreciate that. Lithuania. We've got, hey, Aussies in the house. What's up? Chuck and Asiki tomorrow, obviously. Hong Kong. We've got Alabama. Manila. Lot of Filipinos in the house. We've got Indonesia in the house. Japan. Nigeria. We've got more Canadians. England in the house. Salt Lake City. Vietnam, Ireland. Melbourne, Kentucky. Where else are we from? Netherlands. Qatar, Greece, Belgium. Zambia, Malaysia. Nigeria. A lot of Americans here. Listening from Qatar. Japan, Hong Kong. Mumbai. Windy City. Chicago. So the Windy City. Lot of Filipinos in the house. I see you all. I see you all. Spain. Lot of Spaniards here as well. All right. Let's get back to it because Rafa Nadal is three games away from lifting a 20-second trophy at Grand Slam level. And we might have something to celebrate for that. I don't know. Maybe we might have something. I don't know. I don't know. We've got to wait till it happens. Love 15. Thank you, everybody, by the way, for telling us where you are. It's great to see all of you guys and girls all around the world. Tennis is a worldwide sport. It's awesome that we can get so many different kinds of people. By the way, the wind predictor is like, Rude, you got no chance. I mean, there's no such thing as 100% unless the guy wins. Or the girl wins. That's crazy. But I guess Rude has no chance. Love 15 is wrapping it's back end into the open court. Love 30. Is this going to be a bagel? Are we getting a bagel? Are we going to finish this off with a bagel, really? Surely not. That would be devastating for Rude, to be honest. A bagel would be devastating. It's not too bad. That inside-out for Rion is what made me a Rafa I've always loved it. Vamos or Rafa, let's get 22. Camille or a legend, keep up the great work. Thank you, John, for the nice words. And, yes, that inside out four, and it's a one of a kind. I mean, it's a lefty whip that Rafa has and I mean, no one else has that shot. Nobody has that shot. It's a Rafa shot. It's a Rafa thing. Love 30. Second serve, Rude. As Rude serves to the back end of Rafa for now, Rude. Down the line to the front of Rafa. Into the front of Rude. Down the line to the back end of Rafa. Now Rude can't get that. Rafa too good. Love 40. Rafa wants to get out of here. He wants to beat the two and a half hour mark. He wants to make this the quickest match of the week. Lovely backhand from Rafa. Love 40. Love 40. As Rude serves down the team to the back end of Rafa for now, Rude. Into the open court of the slice of Rafa. Rube with a volley in the net. Rafa's got the double break for love and this is getting real ugly for Kasper Rude. Man, Kasper Rude. I mean, look, when you're playing Rafa the first time, you don't want to be on the biggest stage of your career. That's for sure. Okay. Rafa is two games away from doing an eager thing. I mean, eager shriantek. I mean, this is what eager does. He's learning from the lady who idolizes him. By the way, we got to 94,000. Hey, thank you everybody for subscribing. Can we get to 94.1? Ah, I don't know. Thank you everybody who subscribed. Welcome to the channel. As we get a back of Rude down the line, there's a back end of Rafa in the open court for a winner. 15 love. By the way, just so you guys who are just coming in, Rafa was down 3-1 in the second. He won five games in a row and then four in a row. So he's won nine games in a row, Rafa. Just so you kind of know where we were at about 45 minutes ago. We were 45 minutes ago. We were... We had a match. We had a match. How quickly things can change. 15 love as Rafa serves the back end of Rude. Rude hits it out. It's 30 love. Rafa is six points away from another title. A 22nd title. A 22nd title. It is loading. I mean, it's almost loaded. Almost. 30 love. Six points away. He serves. Down the tee. That's a fault. Second serve. And I guess the next question is, will he play Wimbledon? Will he play Wimby? I hope so. I hope so. Get that calendar slam. Opportunity going, you know. Served down to the back end of Rude. 4-0 from Rafa. Into the back end of Rude. Again to the forehand of Rafa. Into the back end. Down the middle to the back end of Rafa. And then Rafa is in the net. 30-15. Also thanks for the donations coming through. We'll play them. We'll play them. Once these, this matches. Got a chance to break. We're going to break in this match. But the Rafa hits so. Look at the winners compared to errors. Rafa has played the perfect final today. Limit the errors. The serving has probably been his. He serves probably the worst thing. But unstoppable on the ground. Rude's hit so many errors too. Which never helps. But man, Rafa's just come out here and gone. Bang! As he serves out wide. And Voli's Rafa. Because why the hell not? 40-15. Rafa and Adelaus 5 points away. From recreating history. And extending. And I know you guys. Rafa fans love this. Extending the lead. By two slams. Extending that lead. Making it even tougher for Djokovic to. Capture that goat. 20. I mean he needs 23. He needs to win three slams. Djokovic to take Rafa over. That's a lot. At 35. There's been a serve in the net from Rafa. Second serve. Unless you're Rafa. I mean it's not a lot.

I mean, who else is the goat? Serena, okay. But what about dudes? Undeniable goat, surely. Championship points. And Rafa Nadal is about to bagle his way to 22. Rude serves into the backhand of Rafa.

Thanks, everybody, for being here all week. Or all day for the final. Again, we'll be back for Rafa's next match. Whenever that'll be, we will be here. Hopefully it's a Wimbledon. Championship point number two for Rafa Nadal as Rude serves. Masi Baku says the umpire. 30-40. Rude with the serve. He serves into the front of Rafa. For now from Rude goes into the front of Rafa. To the front of Rude. Again, to the backhand of Rafa. For now from Rude on the stretch. Rafa with the backhand down the line. It's a winner! Rafa's got 22. Who's the goat now? Tell me who the goat is now. And if you don't say Rafa, you're wrong. Because he is the goat. He's got two more than anybody else. And he demolishes Kasper Rude. Six love in the third. Don't come at me unless you got Rafa in your mouth with the goat status because he is the goat. You can't deny it. And he might stay on top. Nobody's going to take that record. Unless Djokovic comes good in the next few years and he stays around for long enough. But Rafa, he's making a statement. Can he go for calendar slams? Can he play Wimbledon? Please. Please, Rafa, play Wimbledon. Give the fans what they want. Let them dream big. But Rafa, the goat, 22 slams. And you've got to give... I mean, you've got to feel for Kasper Rude. Great tournament. Got to the final. Look, he is a great player of Kasper Rude. He will win a French Open. Just not why Rafa's around. Just not while he's around. Kind of like Dominique's team. It's like he'll win a French Open maybe, but not when he's around. When Rafa's around, he ain't giving trophies to nobody. It's Rafa's house. It's Rafa's house. The score doesn't reflect how good Rude was. Rude was good in the second set. That's about it. I'm sorry. Rude was not... He had a great tournament, but the scoreline was correct. He was not good.

I hope we all we all hope that you continue for some more time yeah don't retire god damn it play play Wimbledon next week play Wimbledon and he says now he's turned to his team he's like to my own team everyone involved it's a long road already so even though I'm young I'm starting to rain by the way there's gonna be a presentation of the rain I'm a big team around me and this is a road that is impossible without the help of everyone so thank you all of you you're the closest ones and we're and we are a team so like I said I hope that we continue this journey so many more years and that you

branding they've all got like matching uniforms to the city of Paris the support to the people who came and these two week all these two weeks it's been unbelievable quite an experience for me to play in front of 10,000 people in the final and it's been difficult here for everybody around the world with COVID good to see full practices inspiring again and you have been very nice to me all two weeks so thank you everyone's a class act this is a is a class class act it gives me motivation to come back and hopefully next year I can teach some friends some friendship possible it's not easy but I'll try and lastly to Emily Merezmo the tournament director and all your team I know this has been busy two weeks for you and you have been doing a great job and you've been a player yourself you know what it's like to do what we need so thank you very much for these last two three weeks almost and I can't wait to come back again next year him thank you mercy that's a great speech that is like that's how you do a speech literally all the ticked all the boxes said all the things that was the perfect speech that was the perfect speech okay now it's time for the goat to grab another trophy and to lift it into the sky a Lafayette Nadal who must get bored playing and winning this event he's won this event more than he's played like more than he's not right like he's probably how many years he played he's played 18 he's won 14 right is that right 14 out of 18 I think right is that is that great or is 14 out of 17 he shakes the hands of everybody who is on the podiums and now he stands up the very top of the podium and he lifts the trophy to the sky 22 for Rafa 22 for Rafa yeah I think Rafa Rood looks very happy I mean he's in a final of a slam I think he's definitely his you know his highlight of his career but I'm sure he'd be hungry for more just an incredible achievement it sure is it sure is 14 out of 18 years that's insane yeah one withdrawal yeah I forgot about that three losses one withdrawal yeah so 14 out of 18 holy hell crazy I mean at this point I mean once he won like double digits everyone's like really what what is that and somebody in the chat said he in the who was it Tim said that Rafa's won more French opens and Sampras has won grand slams what Sampras won 14 slams Rafa's won 14 at one slam I mean he will net this record will never be beaten we will all die and this will still be a record this will never be beaten as they do the Spanish anthem there's not this bracket record would never be beaten there's no way in hell like no one is gonna touch this record yeah it's unreal Tim it's absolutely unreal absolutely unreal let's hope he plays Wimbledon like I really do I really hope he does play Wimbledon yeah and Sampras never won the French like Sampras did impressive things like that's not downplay that but it's just like Rafa's like whole another level by the way I do think it is Spanish royalty in the front row there because when the when the anthems being played they zoomed in on them so that must be Spanish royalty or government I don't know when's an extreme I have no idea we'll figure it out we'll figure it out until yeah it's an untouchable record if the slam if the slam record wasn't untouchable that 14 grand slams at one venue is is that's not gonna happen no one's winning 14 at one some players play for 14 years I mean that's like a career 14 years you know from 18 to 32 that's a whole career this guy's won 14 slams one venue and he's still going all right Rafa speaks first of all I want to thank everyone here it's a real pleasure playing fine in the final in the Roland Garros you were great I want to congratulate Casparud for an amazing career so far that you are having especially these last two weeks I think it is very important to step forward so I'm very very happy for you and for your family your team are doing great things you were great I'm very very happy and so very and very happy for you your team I was sure the very best in the future I wonder if Rafa's Academy gets a little bit of a cut from rude rude's prize money because remember he is he has part of the Academy so maybe he gets a little bit of a cut anyways maybe you're gonna maybe maybe Rafa will coach rude after this I have to I have to thank my team I think my team everybody who is here you know it's completely amazing the things that are happening these years so I can just say thank you very much for probably for all the things that you were doing and for me and did over the years without you nothing of this would be possible without any doubt especially in a very the very tough moments that we went through in terms of injuries I don't get I have your great if I don't have your support for the team everybody that have been next to me nothing of this would be possible because I would be stuck too much so thank you I want to continue saying thanks very much everybody who's makes this event possible without a doubt for me I think a lot of people who love the history of this sport says this is the best tournament in the world so many thanks to everybody who makes this possible this great event all the all the ballboys the volunteers tournament director organization all the work behind the scenes do amazing it's always a pleasure for me and always be easy to be around here and you make me feel like home and I just thank you very very much here at Roland Garros the French Federation as well you're still going for me personally very difficult to describe the feelings that I have it's it's such for sure something that I'll never believe be here at 36 being competitive again playing in at the most important court of my career one more time finals means a lot to me no means everything it means a lot of energy to try and keep going I just want to say mercy becu now speaking Spanish French so I have no idea what he said thank you everybody the crowd I think he said that so thank you to everybody here in Paris that's what he said and he's still saying speaking French so he's just talking to the French fans directly to the French fans and he said thank you so much love being here and the coaches box of laughing at his attempt that's so harsh I don't know what can happen in the future but I'm gonna keep fighting to try to keep going so many things thank you very much yeah rough rank going nowhere he's it I don't know what's gonna happen in the future but I'm gonna keep fighting there we go so I don't think you're after a ain't going nowhere and rough and a doll again as a French open champion and he beats Caspar route this time in the final in one of the most impressive finals he's played over the last over his career I mean that was insane insane insane alright now it is time for your guys's opinions I want to listen to what you guys have to say so let's just turn this off for now let's turn that on we're doing calls discord join the discord I want to hear from you I want to hear about Rafa I want to hear about whether or not you think I mean here's the goat right right I mean that's the I mean yeah so jump on the jump in the discord link in the chat there's a few people already in there so jump in the discord I'm gonna give you guys a second because I need a toilet so jump in the discord now jump in the waiting room actually no we'll wait I'll answer a couple calls and then I'll might take a break good bathroom okay give give people time to get in there first okay is Rafa retiring no no no I mean that wasn't a retirement speech Rafa will win would be hopefully plays Rafa's there's been speculation about Rafa not playing Wimbledon for the last couple days but I I mean I he won this final so easy I don't I don't know if I don't know if he's like like if this was a five-set final I can understand if you'd be like I want to just want to hold off on Wimbledon but man it's he's he played a pretty easy final he's gonna get he should be feeling pretty or not good but he come on Rafa please play Wimbledon please please please play Wimbledon Rafa please oh anyways jump in there we're gonna talk to as many people as we can we're gonna start with people that I didn't speak to yesterday so they're gonna get priority cuz I want to speak to more as many people as we can but yeah look Casper it should be happy it's the biggest tournament of his of his life right biggest match of his life and at a young age only 23 I mean first slam final you know roots a great guy we know that we know that we know that okay and by the way we won't know who's won the fanslam until tomorrow but John you might you might have taken it mate because Rafa played pretty well today and I think I was like maybe 80 points in front I don't know if he can win 80 points from that I mean he won he didn't lose too many so I think you might have picked me at the post in the fanslam yeah Wimbledon's got like no Medvedev knows very of no Rubelev you know since he passes in a good grass court guy you know Baratini coming back from injury even though he's a good grass quarter Alcarez you know he's not playing Djokovic until the final everything points to the this could be the best chance for Rafa Wimbledon you know let me have a look at the the live rankings for a second we're gonna get to jump in the discord there's a link in the chat I saw the link in the description there's a few people already in there yeah so Rafa will be in the number two seat at Wimbledon this year and he will you know he will he will avoid Djokovic till the final that's a good that's a plus it means that City Pass and Rude will be the second and third seats unless Alcarez plays really well next like in Queens Club which he probably will he might take Rude's spot which means that the top four seats for Wimbledon will be Djokovic Nadal City Pass Rude I'm sorry City Pass Alcarez if you've got if you don't have Alcarez in your part of the draw he might go in the top half Djokovic Alcarez could be a semi City Pass Nadal Nadal be loving that because Steph isn't good on grass anyway Rude might be in his section if FAA is up the top with Baratini you know her catch could be up the top I mean he could avoid so many bad tough names Rafa if he's feeling even 50% okay he should play even if he's playing feeling half himself he could get the easiest draw the draw like this is the time to play Wimbledon like this is the easiest draw potentially sorry I'm forgetting that yeah no no if Djokovic is gonna drop 2,000 points but he's not gonna drop down past Rafa Rafa will still be he'll be past it'll be behind Medvedev and he'll be behind Medvedev and Zverev and depending on the next few weeks I don't know we'll find out he might be I mean Rafa might be the number one seed and then Djokovic number two so then either way he's not gonna play Djokovic until the semis it makes sense so yeah anyways there's a he should play come on now he should play just for the history for us for everybody out there for tennis alright let's get some people on the line alright I want to hear what you have to say we've got Boku on first Boku are you there hello Boku's gone okay how's he let's get how's he on alright how's he are you there mate just gonna unmute yourself give us your thoughts on this match and is Rafa the undeniable goat that's what I want to know I wait hold on hold on alright what were you saying how's he what's going on yeah what's up what's up Cam how are you good good okay so I mean the final it's over did you predict do you say we're gonna think straight says Rafa did you think that was gonna happen today oh yeah definitely okay and what do you reckon is he undeniable goat or do you think it's still up for debate being that a Djokovic is formed because he didn't play Australia or the last couple of you know any of really like the tournaments in the beginning of the year I really think Rafa has got the category right now even though Djokovic has the weeks in number one it's still 2022 at the end of the day I like Novak and Jill Nadal but I think Nadal is the undisputed champion because of the Claycourt titles he really hasn't had a challenger it's only been four winners so true it's been twice Djokovic once Federer and once Barinka and you know Djokovic should have won that final in 2015 I believe and maybe I would have had that conversation with him but I feel like Federer is not coming back to get a title I just feel like there's too many good grass court players that is because that would be Federer's good chance is grass hard courts no it's not it's too physical there's too many good hard court players and I just feel like if Nadal is gonna go for the calendar here and spread the lead he needs to play Wimbledon I feel like if Djokovic sees that Nadal doesn't play Djokovic does not have a challenger on grass he has six titles he can easily beat Federer's record in the next two or three years yeah no no I just I understand I totally agree with what you're saying keep going yeah yeah I just feel like the person that I think that if he had not got injured would have challenged maybe Nadal and Djokovic on grass would be Baratini he played so well on grass last year really I really liked him I would have picked him as number three going into if he played the French open I don't know who else would be it because Medvedev is not good on grass since he passes terrible on grass and his mental game is just not good good enough to stay with them that's why he's ranked five no he's ranked five now I was looking at the rankings like that's why he's ranked five and he probably will go down low as if his performance is mentally he hasn't like he had like he made a hard he made easy matches this French open be hard honestly like yeah we said he he's talented but five setters no that would have been easy four set match maybe I feel like 65 should have been the finalist again I just feel like I like rude but rude is just I felt like he was not ready to play that French open final just like golf did yesterday and I'm a fan of all of them because we're you know we're all in that same age group 20 you know 18 to 25 you know I want someone to win we have not had a player in the ATB win a Grand Slam title under 25 like that's really like wow yeah yeah everyone's yeah I mean team never the old the youngest aren't they so it's like it's crazy honestly I really think that if the person that I feel like needs to win that like I see winning a Grand Slam under maybe 25 and under that would expect it like in a year from last year would be baritone and that would have been win with him yeah I just feel like you know since it passed as a good player but every time I just see him shop of all of the meat job all of them that were like in that group you know going against Federer and then Federer was not really you know 2017 2018 beginning 2018 was a good year for Federer but I feel like those since Djokovic and Nadal weren't really in the mix of those years like the Australian open 2017 Wimbledon or US Open when Nadal won I felt like there was so many opportunities for Zvereb to get a title Zvereb he's got he's had so many open like opportunities to get a title and I feel like he's really starting to like say oh my time is running out and I don't think his time is running out but I feel like it's gonna be random where it's gonna be probably like at the US Open where it's been tough for the goats to win the last couple of years you know I feel like the next wins some champion that's gonna probably be is probably Baratini I'd like him I don't I just don't see anyone else maybe Algoraz but I feel like if he was gonna step up and say oh but he's only 18 so I mean I could see well 19 I could say maybe the French but I think Algoraz if he's really really for it I feel like he could do some damage at Wimbledon or US Open because of the power game I feel like he could challenge Djokovic he beat them at Madrid he beat three top three players in Madrid so I really think Wimbledon and US Open I feel like Nadal doesn't have a chance really I think he has a chance at Wimbledon this is his best shot at it but if Algoraz is on Baratini is on those are the two tough players that I feel like are gonna be like the ones to dominate that whole grass court tournament other than Nadal and Djokovic I just feel like Medvedev he's probably not gonna play because of the ban since the past now rude is clay court Grinder I don't know about the grass courts and might not suit his style but if he's willing to change but what's really like disappointing me in the final today is that he did not change his return that's what really disappointed me I was like why is he standing so back his back is his weakest shot Nadal is going there every time doosan and it's really like it's I don't know he was just really frustrating me when he would not move up in the court he just wanted to run around his backhand and that was just making it so obvious and that's why those cross court winners kept on happening Nadal dominated those last 11 games it was legit like it was like 2008 Rafa again at the French Open yeah yeah I agree with you there 100% on what rude rude didn't adjust it's tough I mean rude players it's hard because of because it's rude's first time playing Rafa I mean he's probably you gotta I was gonna give him some slack you know because that's he's on the greatest of all times court honestly but I feel like if rude wants to improve and wants to become one of those guys that who I just don't know who is gonna be the you know the player after Nadal Jilkevic and you know Federer count him as like kind of a tired way but I don't know who's gonna be after him I feel like it's gonna be wide open like the WTA right now where it's one good player and then the rest of the field if that one good player loses in the moment then the rest of the field that title whoever plays the best in those two weeks wins the title I wasn't here yesterday I wasn't here yesterday listening to everyone's conversation about eager and golf and I really like their like everyone's opinion and everything but I feel like if you mind if you mind if don't mind if I talk about the women's I'm sorry I've got right you got the floor I feel like I really feel like Ega is the one like the one to beat until maybe mid 2023 honestly when she has to defend all those points yeah I feel like right now it's it's wide open I just feel like Ega she sees it I knew I just seen it in her from 2020 the French fall edition that she was gonna be the next number one I just felt like you know Ash Barty you know she's that was my favorite player her Naimi Osaka Bianca Andrescu yep who else it's arena but now that they kind of faded away I was gonna I was seeing Leila I seen Ryder Kano I love all of those players I love Salvin Laker too but that serve I love it has to be fixed before she can win a title I'd like golf but that serve in forehand when she took what said when they said what do you want to change she's like really nothing I feel like the forehand and the serve could be a lot better she just really she runs she has everything that she can if she can volley she can hang in the long rallies she can red line or she can just sit back and defend I just feel like she needs to work on that forehand and pick the right shot like there was she played a good match for her first grand slam final against one of the best players of the year or the last two years I just feel like ego is like Serena right now and when they're on there's nobody that can challenge them they have every shot when they're confident I just feel like all the other players are just you know they're for like one week to challenge ego like Naomi Osaka when she I thought she was gonna be back after that Miami final but when ego won that set she just ran away with it with a bagel and everything and I'm like oh well she's she's really good I didn't think she was gonna do that I didn't think ego would be consistently staying six titles out because of the pressure and everything because there was no challenger honestly everyone was losing early the the top 10 I don't the top 10s at their ego and maybe owns maybe Jebore I don't I don't see any of those people in the top 10 honestly I don't I I just see on the women's side in the top 10 right now I feel like the the players that should be in the top 10 by the end of this year oh my I feel like golf right economy should definitely break into it I feel like the pressure should be off of her now like by this time I don't think she needs expectations going into Wimbledon she just needs to focus on what she did to win that US Open title last year Laila I know she's injured but I feel like that's a top 10 definitely I feel like the youngsters are ready to move move up they just need to pick that right time I feel like Anna Simova is really good I really think she should be top 10 I really like her the people I just feel like are gonna drop down further and further out is maybe pal up the mental game hasn't been there like it was I feel like she's going back to like what she shouldn't be doing is she's like that she's 30 now she's just I feel like she's feeling like her time is running out because she's seeing that these players like Zang I I think she'll be a top 10 top 20 top 10 by the end of this year I really think she has the game to challenge that was the first person since Samson over the challenge ego in a first set you know it just was like I was like I like this I like her she's a really good player but I just feel like if these people can't hang with ego be like the physically or mentally they're gonna ego is gonna be the dominant player for the next two years honestly if Osaka can't come back she do it does that you know US open Australia open back-to-back title again you know that'll be six I feel like you know I don't know about Naomi right now she's just like in a different headspace she's not there she's just not focused she's worried about the wrong things that she can't control and you know she I just feel like she's worried about people are gonna like her like Novak and everything when you don't need to worry about people liking you like I feel like you need to play your game and just leave leave everything on the court and that's what she hasn't been doing she's been doing too many press conferences saying what she doesn't like and what she's what she thinks she's not she sounded more like she wants to be entitled to everything and I feel like it's not really working in her favor and that's why she lost first round of the French open that's why she lost third round the end of that's why she lost 10 this a moment twice and majors she shouldn't be losing third round honestly she's just too good to work lose first week every time hopefully we'll see her do well hopefully I mean I think American seasons where Osaka will read I don't think she's going to do too much of the too much like too much expectation on grass I think we should be we'll focus I think come the America should be back yeah I feel like Wimbledon I feel like Wimbledon she has she has the game I feel like she has the game to do something you know I just feel like she needs to believe in her so that she can play on a surface more than a hard court and I feel like you know maybe I was given push give a shot at a green swim last year I said us open I said Wimbledon if when if not Wimbledon us open is her chance no I she got injured at Australia French has not really heard her game so but I said you know maybe Wimbledon maybe she'll come up come back to life she doesn't really she has eager in her way which is really you know I feel like yeah I just feel like you know Pleshka and Sabalinka have had their chances last year Sabalinka had an extreme chance to get to a first grand slam title at the US Open and she let Leila beat her yeah Leila I feel like you know we'll see all these players I'm sure like I mean Leila's not gonna be around for a while because of the foot but we'll see I'm see all these players now we've got a lot of people waving so we're just gonna thanks for jumping on we'll get you on again though but yeah there's got a lot of people waiting so we're gonna try and get someone else but thank you I was I know you're waiting for a long time yesterday mate so I wanted to give you your space to speak so thanks though thanks mate

jumping in the discord and you're jumping on we're gonna keep it short and sweet from now just cuz it's too in the morning my time but also so that everybody gets a chance to snap through but I just want to give Halsey that's why we put Halsey on first cuz he was waiting long yesterday all right now all I want to know is how what were your thoughts of today's match and Rafa goat yes no let's get Betty on first all right on second Betty are you there just unmute yourself and all I want to know is what were your thoughts on today's match and Rafa goat yes or no could unmute yourself and then

then tell us Rafa the goat or not yeah hey we can hear yeah yeah we can hear you're all good yeah yeah man I wouldn't actually expect me to get through that quick yeah so yeah I think he's a go right now for sure but I mean I was only able to listen to the match which is awesome thanks for doing that because I've got a long drive due to seven and a half hour drive from Tennessee to North Carolina and it's good to be able to listen so all right thank you for that but uh but yeah he's a go right now clearly ridiculously dominant in that final kind of absurd that anyone could beat a player as good as Casparude like he was a junior but yeah yeah I'd say he's a go for sure and I hope the place will win too because I'd love to see him go for I'm encountering him still kind of a crazy thing to think about right now I think but yeah but it would be it would be cool to see him at least try for it but yeah I'll keep it short no good man thanks for that's awesome thank you yes well yeah I hope he plays Wimbledon too just to just to give everyone a chance to like watch every single one of his matches and celebrate a possible historic moment I don't know if he will like I don't know he's gonna give it to the fans it'd be cool to see him at least try Wimbledon and I think he I think he could he could win Wimbledon I don't think he'd be the well I don't know he might be the favorite but he'll be sorry I don't know if you're GPS no eyes are so good but yeah I yeah I think he's got a shot though but I definitely definitely Wimbledon would be the toughest if he won Wimbledon then we could start going freaking crazy and be like holy crap he might do it yeah well that's it if he wins Wimbledon I think it's like I mean three ahead who knows people will lose their minds especially a Djokovic fans would lose their minds because they're gonna be way behind it awesome thank you so much for jumping on though thanks and I'm glad you we could keep your company on your long drive yeah thank you awesome there's carrot new time caller new caller there most of you guys have been new callers so it's awesome make sure you jump on let's see we'll go down the list a little bit let's get let's get Kelly on all right we've got Kelly no why didn't that work there we go all right Kelly are you there Kelly hello Kelly you're unmuted so we can hear you hello s Kelly are you there I might try again in a second let's get who else we haven't had yet let's get Betty on again we'll try Betty again all right Betty are you there Betty let's go I'm mute nope Betty's jumped off let's get if you want to jump on jump in the discord we had yet let's see a new name let's get let's get novice on all right novice are you there hey they're novice I can hear him in the background yes yes okay what's going on I give us a little bit of a little bit of a summary of the match and then give us a about the goat debate is it a debate anymore yes has been absolutely fantastic to watch this unfold very very incredible match I got to say yeah for sure so let's get started with it with this I think yeah definitely we've all expected this this is yeah winning winning it's Casper rude I think Casper's done incredible we just got to give it to him and the the hustle has been like incredible from this guy but I think obviously it's just it's too difficult and I think not many people are talking about the fact that Nadal is a lefty and it's really really difficult for you know facing a lefty of that caliber like for the first like Nadal has a lot of practice against right-handed players so it's just it's really difficult for the first time playing against a left-handed guy and it's just it's yeah it's just too much to handle for against a lefty and I think that's that's one of the really important points and not a lot of people are talking about so yeah so as far as that goes yeah I think it's pretty straightforward to predict Nadal winning this especially after beating Jokovic and I think it's very had a fair shot yeah and it's just really unfortunate what happened there so fair enough and it was about a goat goat yes no if I was gonna be objective I think the fact that Jokovic wasn't able to play Australian open it's yeah it's just it's just after that like it I think that he wasn't able to play his best I mean of course Nadal was incredible in that match against Jokovic you have to give it to him but I think the fact that like objectively from a tennis standpoint no matter what other people have to say it's just like tennis was at the loss there the fact that he wasn't able to play so we don't know what would have happened if Jokovic was able to play right now but so we got to give credit to Nadal for winning that was just an incredible victory and I was Australian open yeah and then yeah coming here in the French open I think anything could have happened there if Jokovic play let's just say he won they would both be he would be a 21 and Nadal would be a 20 that would give Jokovic added confidence of the French open say we never know how it would have turned out yeah yeah going into Wimbledon it's gonna be pretty exciting so I'm not gonna conclude a goat here yet and that's just that's just really hard yeah okay let's give other people a chance to talk no no you're good you're good you're right yeah that's all I would say there oh good really thank you novice thank you sir jumping on alright there's novice again thank you everybody jumping on who I know sometimes it can be a little bit daunting but jump in the discord I want to talk to as many of you as we can just for context novice was talking a little bit there about you know the fact that Jokovic didn't play just to show how impressive this run was he didn't only beat Jokovic Nadal went and beat in the fourth round he might have had the toughest draw out of all of them and he probably the the run of the tournament right he beat the number nine in the world in Felix O'Jallis seem he then beat the number one in the world in Jokovic he then beat the number three in the world in Zverev and then the number eight in the world he beat four top ten players to win this title has he ever done that this might be the most impressive French open yet from him because he beat four top ten players to win the title three remember the seven matches four out of those seven with top ten guys insanity insane so he might have had the toughest draw and that could be the biggest the hardest road since veteran at the Australian Open when he had to beat all those top guys in 2017 right so I think I think we've got to keep reminding ourselves of that as well as not only did he beat Jokovic but he also beat four you know four top ten guys to win that title okay let's get up who have my idea who have my idea who we're gonna get who we're gonna get let's get um let's get on Dreyer on on Dreyer are you there they on Dreyer am I pronouncing that right first of all nope on Dreyer's gone let's get let's get row on the line row are you there let's get I can hear me yep you are there what's up row how's it going cam how's it going welcome welcome all right give us your give you just summary of the match and then give us your thoughts on Rafa as goat well you know obviously Rafa played just looking at the stats quite quite a flawless match with so few errors and so many and so many winners as compared to Roode who made way more errors than winners and I think you know for him for him to have that all those doubts in his mind after the Shepab love loss in Rome and you know the foot always buggy him especially with his tough draw knowing Jokovic in the quarters it was just quite the feat for him to pull off that up the 22nd Grand Slam so in terms of that's that's my thoughts on the match and then in terms of the goat debate you know right now he's clearly as of now the goat obviously you know Jokovic has always had to play catch-up with Roger and Rafa but but for him to have 22 or 2 more than Fed and Jokovic right now it's obviously undisputed so thank you very much and I appreciate this opportunity no worries thank you Roe short and sweet thank you appreciate that mate yeah awesome there is Roe hey perfect that's what we look love it in the chat with you guys we'll get Roe I mean that was I feel like Roe Roe Roe almost the opposite it's too quick jumped off but thank you Roe appreciate that very very nice analysis now let's get man who else we got let's try care let's go as Kelly again all right as Kelly are you there hello hey what's going on am I is that right am I saying right it was a Skelly Skelly yes how's it going cam Skelly how's it going all right give us your thoughts on the match and is Rafa the goat well it went in it went as expected mm-hmm you know I live in Norway so I was also partially cheering for Root but yeah it must have been hard for Root to play Nadal in especially in the final it he's the first you know Norwegian man to play a Grand Slam ever so yeah the pressure was quite on you know and the the son of the yeah Norway's king was also there and a lot of celebrities so he had he definitely had a lot of pressure but um yeah it definitely went as expected I the last set especially who was you know Nadal was on cruise control and it looked like Root lost a little bit a little bit of faith in the last set yeah so it must have been hard but yeah overall I'm happy and why I am I'm a big fan of Rafa also so okay yeah overall I'm happy and when it comes to who's the goat you know number wise Rafa is the goat but I like to think I like to think think of all of the big three as goats that's fair enough yeah but one last question before we let you go do you reckon Casper Root can win a slam because I've been very bullish on him the last 12 months saying yeah you can win a French open this guy's like awesome on clay and then this time I mean a lot of people are gonna be saying well eventually he's gonna win one if you can make a final you can win one it's 23 your reckon he's gonna win one eventually yes I think he can win one obviously he was in the final today maybe one day I think when the goats retire he definitely has a chance I think yes he can win but I don't think he's definitely not on level as Nadal you can compare him to Nadal you know I hear a lot of people already saying that you know Ruth is the master of clay and whatever but you know you can't compare Ruth hasn't even won a slam and Nadal has won 14 Roland Garros matches or not matches but yes lambs so okay to answer your question then yes he can I think he can win a slam no yeah I'm with you I think he can as well may like some people are saying he had an easy draw this this tournament I feel he didn't have to play city pass or Rube level those guys but that's not his fault and I think yeah ten years any look you know they're gonna get a lot of random tournaments like this probably you know with players that can win anything and players losing early and yeah yeah totally totally I always keep saying that the two best players always meet in the final so if you're the best you will show up in the final no yeah so exactly he does ever whoever is in the draw the best one will be in the final exactly if you're the best you should you should be in the final right exactly exactly that's very yeah that's a great yeah that's a great way to say it exactly the two best people in the final I mean you can't accident like if you're playing bad you're not gonna make it are you so yeah exactly exactly awesome thank you scaly appreciate it jumping on might get you on for another route max in the future because it's good to have supporters from from of those from those countries so I'll make sure I write you down as the next rude match will get you on all right thank you thank you awesome there is this galley from Norway so there you go scaly from Norway let's add some chat questions cuz

not Borg gets in there maybe not maybe not Rafa to Euro sports he had put the foot to sleep by injecting in the vein whoo there's playing with a numb foot at the start of the match that was going on

reviews that's all good all right so tell us what you thought of today's matching is Rafa the goat yes or no I can't hear you now can hear us now yeah yes okay can't hear we're gonna skip straight to is Rafa the goat okay Rafa the goat yes or no I think it's too early too early to to say because the Djokovic and and Federer haven't retired yet so okay it's too early too early and yeah we'll Rafa play Wimbledon I hope but I think it's really tough because you need preparation okay let's hope now good good answers good answers all right thank you Andrea I'm sorry that we had that we kind of we have to keep it short but I appreciate it thank you for hanging in there all your strings thank you for what you're doing no we have a lot of time with you thank you can no worries that's that's very nice of you to say thank you Andrea so there you go Andrea everybody he's been hanging out for a while so I'm glad we could get him on let's get let's fly through this let's get whoever we add for a bit trying to let's get more new names coming in every second thank you everybody's jumping in let's get Severus in all right Severus are you there hello Severus nope Severus gone all right let's get Sakmads in Sakmads are you there hello Sakmads are you there we can hear you hello hello hello we can hear you okay perfect we're gonna skip right to the question is Rafa the goat yes no after today so right now I do think Rafa is the goat because I used to think Roger was the goat and a little bit of Novak but just Rafa's playing unbelievable right now and I mean if he ends up playing Wimbledon I actually think he's gonna win because just he's playing crazy right now like I never expected this from a guy who took like a like last year was he even playing last year to be honest like he wasn't his foot was bothering him but like this year he's been playing unbelievable and the way he overcame that foot injury in Rome and everything it's it's crazy so yeah I definitely think he is the goat of everything yeah will it directly apply Wimbledon um so here's the thing I don't really I feel like he's gonna drop out of Wimbledon it I mean it depends because there's three weeks I I was watching a little bit of I just wanted to watch the last game until he won the French open and then the commentators were saying it's like three weeks so maybe he will play because three weeks sounds like a lot of time to like recover and stuff so I mean I I mean I hope he plays it'll be fine it'd be fun but like honestly I'm kind of disappointed with Wimbledon because the Russian band and everything is not gonna be that fun this year so we'll see yeah yeah we're gonna miss a lot of players even on the women's side I mean the women's side has got like Russia takes up like most of the top 50 so we're gonna miss out on a lot of good players playing but yeah okay yeah fingers crossed he plays thank you Sakman thanks for jumping on yep thank you awesome all right now let's get we're flying through this now let's get Habib on all right Habib are you there hello Habib hello you just gotta mute yourself hello Habib we'll try a bit in a second let's get let's get Cole on now Cole are you there are you there Cole hello hello okay hello we're gonna go with the one question is Rafa the goat yes he is the goat he's won the French open 14 times right yep and he's won he's beaten Federer in his prime in 2008 he's beaten Medvedev from down to sets in the Australian Open this year yeah I think he's the goat okay and will he play Wimbledon I want him to but I don't know I think he should it's he doesn't seem that injured or anything he seems healthy right yeah yeah yeah I mean he he won pretty easily today considering who he was playing in the final so three weeks away might be enough time off I don't know hopefully yeah hopefully I hope we can see Federer back also in Wimbledon yeah I'm not sure if that's gonna happen but I mean that would be insane if he came back early and surprised us all that'd be that'd be awesome yeah awesome thank you Cole Blackbird appreciate it thanks for waiting being patient out there all right there's Cole Blackbird let's get Joe on the line all right Joe are you there hello Joe 55 hello Joe how are you good thanks all right give us his wrath of the goat yes or no I believe so he is he is okay and I mean will he play Wimbledon will he play Wimbledon a couple weeks I hope so because like you mentioned it would be him or on top of each other number one and number two so he stands a very big chance so maybe his last chance at getting Wimbledon so he should really should yeah okay no fair enough thank you for jumping on thanks for waiting in the chat thanks for you bye all right thank you Joe short and sweet easy as all right let's get whoever we had just down the bottom here let's get the guider let's get the guider on guider are you there oh I'm on you're on you are on all right give us yes or no wrath of goat yes no oh no doubt no doubt this is certainly non-debatable at his age doing what he does with his injuries coming back to the court winning setting records I mean it's literally no debate I know about okay so drop of his no chance of coming back of being a getting the Grand Slam record you reckon 22 is too far too ahead I think so and I was actually curious about your opinion do you think if I'm gonna be that can I ask you a question do you think can Djokovic or Federer take the record away from the dial Federer no Djokovic yes because Djokovic can play probably for five more years and I think Djokovic is gonna kind of do a Federer's done and that's like play as long as possible to keep as many records as he can I think Djokovic will play until because yeah I think he's gonna play for at least five more years and do everything possible until it's until he drops out of the top 50 he might retire disgracefully by like just try by playing way too long he might not finish on top like you know some players get to do he might just keep going until he gets that record if he doesn't get that record he might keep going yeah I think Djokovic too stubborn to give this record up easily well no doubt yeah they're both really good players but Nadal he also beat Djokovic in this tournament so I mean it's all references and indicators to the fact that he isn't the goat I mean I've been here since he came to the sport I know the way the body his body must feel at 36 no doubt the goat hands down thank you so much for giving me this opportunity your show is awesome and thank you for your coverage and my 50 minutes of fame no thank you we've had you on I think we've had you on before haven't we this is my first time oh we'll definitely get you on again it was during Wimbledon yeah I hope so thank you very much thank you guys I appreciate it see then alright there we go the guide are all right we're gonna keep going if you want to jump on jump on now we're gonna be doing this for another let's see let's check what the time is it's three nearly three in the morning that's fine a little bit longer we're gonna go for by the way is everyone the link in the chat is it working now hopefully hopefully it's working otherwise I'll have to fix that and I'll send out a thing um Djokovic too stubborn yeah I think Djokovic is too stubborn to get like I mean two grand slam that's an Australian open in a Wimbledon you know if Rafa doesn't win anything until next French open I mean Djokovic has got two more slams in the next three that he could win we don't think that he'd be the favorite in Australia next year and he'd be the favorite in next week in Wimbledon or two weeks from Wimbledon we'll find out I think we'll find out okay let's we're gonna do a couple more calls and then I want to talk to the chat because I feel like I'm turning my back on the chat at the moment the dial is also very stubborn that is true that's why this makes it so interesting Federer is also stubborn but he's just five years older which sucks for him all right let's get Ogar on all right Ogar are you there Ogar I can hear myself Ogar on all right Ogar are you there you are there Ogar I can hear myself all right we'll get Ogar on again if they can figure out the audio now let's get ultra quantum on let's get ultra ultra are you there hello ultra hey hey cam how's going all right ultra give us your thoughts on Rafa being the goat yes no maybe what do you reckon yes I definitely think he's the goat for sure at this time especially like you know with the feed that he was able to be Djokovic at this tournament I was actually thinking you know with whatever that happened with Australian open with Djokovic I was kind of hoping that Djokovic is going to come full-on on this tournament but I think he did a great job in the in the quarter final but with that said I also know the mental toughness of Djokovic and I'm pretty sure he's not gonna give up this fight pretty easy so even though at this point in time I strongly believe that Djokovic is going to be again like the behind by two grand slams it's just a matter of another year for him he can actually chase the grand slam calendar grand slam again and he can be at the top so you never know fingers crossed fingers and again just one more thing thank you so much for all the work that you're doing it's 2 46 a.m. for me as well I stay in the mail in Melbourne as well so oh okay yeah really good I've been following your channel for quite a while now like all the very best for the future well no worries you're a

like there's four main contenders right the people talk about and I mean like frisky that's Fedre he's getting on a bit you know probably like should take the tennis racket off his hand give him a walking stick at this point I feel like yeah he's getting on a bit yeah back I mean with his antics he's more like a terrorist I mean then it go to this point I mean honestly lying to the feds not getting vaccinated he's just a menace to society acting like a stubborn fiber okay I feel like he's he's getting on a bit too I mean Rafa what an absolute stallion coming back off just so long with one foot like a flamingo sent from the heavens batting everyone away with that beautiful helicopter forehand I mean how can you say he's not the good and then obviously there's Gaineshikori who's like the fourth contender and he's a close second but I feel like Rafa just takes it Ali that's thank you that was the so you're not a you're not a drug rich fan no I'm a very neutral unbiased arm fan it's you sound yeah okay and we're quite K. Nishikori that's an interesting one we've never had him in the goat debate so why why K. Nishikori I mean K. Nishikori he's just an absolutely great well-rounded player I mean unmatched unmatched in his level of skill besides from Rafa besides Rafa okay so you think Rafa won Nishikori too obviously I mean

be must be hard yeah he lost like 10 matches in a row yeah it's not easy I think he'll come back he'll come back strong he's too good of a player not to come back strong he just had a bad he's just

hear me I can hear you yep just got to turn down the uh the background noise from the stream uh yeah uh can you hear me now yeah yep great uh first and foremost I'm from Spain so nice really must be happy for yeah super happy yeah honestly it's like unbelievable what Rafa achieved so yeah awesome so I mean do I need to say like do I need to ask the question do you think he's the goat because I think I know the answer he is definitely and it's undeniable what he achieved with the foot pain and everything uh it gives him more uh more credit you know so it's pretty amazing man do you reckon he's gonna like stay in front or do you reckon Djokovic is going to come back and get some more slams you reckon 22 is enough or does he need how many more does he need to hold that record when they retire Rafa is not going to surrender as he's been doing so I reckon he's going to still like fighting okay for more years and yeah it's it's amazing uh for for Spanish uh he's like a role model and everything he did is like off the charts you know and he's gonna play Wimbledon I hope so man yeah that would be really great yeah if he was missing if he had if he had the chance to do it I'm sure he's he's gonna go for it so yeah surely he's gonna play awesome thank you for jumping on we'll get you on for the next uh the next Rafa match I reckon as well it's always good to hear the fans from from the countries as well so uh appreciate that bye bye awesome there is Sergi um by the way someone said in the chat so much just everyone's hating on Rafa I want to Rafa fan a jump I want to no so everyone's hating on Nolle I want to know a fan to jump on hopefully if there's anyone here I want a Djokovic fan to come on and be like and defend Nolle because we're all going Rafa the goat Rafa the goat everyone's saying yes yes yes undeniable where are the Djokovic fans jump on the call and say no Nolle is going to come and win the Wimbledon he's coming for Rafa I want to hear some Djokovic fans coming on and being like hell no Djokovic ain't done yet I want I want some defense from Djokovic fans as well one hey you know what we should do one day we should have a goat debate between two fans not me because I'm just in the middle but maybe that's what we'll do one day maybe that's what we'll do one day we get a Djokovic fan and a Rafa fan I want you guys to go at it on stream respectfully maybe we'll do that one day but where are the Djokovic fans come on um all right we're gonna do uh two more calls because we're almost out of time let's get Vims on Vims we had Vims on yesterday um let's get Vims on again all right Vims are you there are you there Vims hello how you going Vims how are you feeling after the final like I'm happy for Rafa good for him 22 okay and that's uh you don't sound surprised well what did you expect from Ruth he couldn't even beat Novak so what did you expect like no offense to reach so yeah that's fair enough I was expecting um as well like all these people saying Novak was bad like he did not he did not lose to like some top 50 player he lost to like somebody who's won 14 Roland Garros titles respect on his name guys like Clay is his worst surface so all these people saying oh my god Rafa like Rafa is great we all know Rafa is great and 22 is not and is not really far away for like Novak to reach he only needs to win Rebedent and he's like won away already so that's all I'm gonna say like good for Rafa but like he's not the goat yet he's the goat temporarily okay wait are you are are you a Nolay fan or you're a Rafa fan I can't remember from yesterday I'm a Nolay fan good this is what I wanted I wanted a Nolay fan to come on and defend him because yeah I mean he's too ahead but yeah he can win Wimbledon I think he's the favorite of chocolate yeah but there was a point when he was like 17 and he was like three behind and he caught up and like last year when everyone else like what Rafa is doing Novak did almost did last year he won like the first three grand slams and he was in the final of the US Open this is not like something like Novak can't do so so I'll go before the Rafa fans come at me there's a lot in the chat so she's gone and Vims is gone just like that Vims is hung up she's gone uh shots fired whoops that's the wrong button that's not happening shots fired Vims drop the mic out come at me bro oh you guys are too much all right thank you Vims for jumping on and defending Nolay that's what we want to see we want to see people going no I got two is not that many and like Vims said 17 and then he got to 20 in like like that say that's it there you go there you go Vims coming in for the Nolay fans and she's gone just jumped off and ran off into the distance all right we did it one more call and then we're done because uh look we've run out of time but thank you everybody who has jumped on we will do we'll probably do one of these we'll have to do a separate one because I feel like when we tack it onto a match it gets really uh it is a bit tricky to do because we have to do the match and like so we might just do a separate one next week maybe when we have some time we have time next week we'll have time next week so we can get a lot of more uh not more people on um all right let's get one last caller who we haven't spoken to yet who haven't we spoken to yet from before let's try Betty one last time all right all right Betty are you there Betty are you there Betty just gotta unmute yourself and then we can hear you you're the final caller of the day Betty's still muted all right let's try who else have been waiting here for a minute who haven't we tried yet all right let's try the dot all right dot are you there are you there dot below dot are you there you're unmuted but we just can't hear you speak okay we'll try one more person and then we're gonna we're gonna call it um um let's get MNL MNM NL are you there you just jumped on so you jumped on at the right second MNL MNL is not there all right thank you again everybody apologies to all the people that we can get to we try to get to everybody as much as we could but I mean we did almost an hour of calls we might again like I said we're gonna have to do uh I think we have to do a separate one maybe we'll do it next week when there's less less less on you know but uh thank you everybody apologies if we didn't get to you um we tried we got a lot of you guys on yesterday I can see a lot of familiar names from yesterday so um again we might have to do our own separate uh separate stream for that because a lot of people uh I want to hear from you guys and you guys are hilarious some of you guys are hilarious Vim's is still running somewhere she did it ran off into the distance um Allie made the chat cry it was hilarious um so yeah so thank you everybody for uh for jumping on um okay now if you haven't joined uh there's a link in the chat to the raffa merch there's one last second raffa merch if you want to get your 22 shirt it is in the chat uh link in the chat it should be working now um a few of you have ordered the shirt so thank you for that uh we'll be sending out anything uh a thing a thing anyway so that'll that'll show let's have a look at the rankings though because I feel like this is very important so going into Wimbledon what is Wimbledon going to look like let's say raffa plays right no way as of now will be the number one seed he might be number he might drop down though to number three after dropping 2000 points and raffa depending on how he does over the next few weeks he might uh he might take over no way spot uh so we're we're looking at one and two jokovic nadal one two at Wimbledon number three would be sidze pass rude would be four elk res five uh faa six baritini seven and nori would be eight so those would be the top eight seeds at Wimbledon as of now of course we've got warm-up tournaments going on uh which will cover some of the points especially if they play outside of uh u k but uh those are the those are the ratings as of now um no real changes the rankings i mean we've got raffa going up ahead of sidze pass there's a clear top four though now you can see there's a massive drop between sidze pass and raffa there's a big drop between rude and sidze pass so sidze pass is on an island in the middle of these rankings by himself uh you've got rude gone up two spots kriyay for him at number six elk res goes down rublev goes down uh chillich he's back into the top 20 number 17 you've got hashtenov getting up a little bit uh runa he goes up to number 28 in the world 12 spots higher than last time kriyay for him obviously and uh quarter pole dropping down goffan goes up so there's some changes to the rankings there we'll be doing the ranking show anyway um next week probably tomorrow so we'll do the power rankings as well all that stuff yes that that design was from uh is my brother's design yes he designed it today
