 What's going on everybody? Welcome to the final of Miami the last match of the tournament The men's final. We watched the women's final. We've watched all the matches up until this point, and it's the final match of The 2023 Miami Open. It's been a weird Miami open. We started with a Draw ceremony that was a little bit scuffed then we watched a lot of rain delays We talked about a lot of things and now we're watching Final that I don't think people thought because you know Elkris was winning and then sin had got him and then you know I think Medvedev being in the final maybe but he hasn't played well Medvedev It's been a weird couple weeks, but We've got a final that Basically, it's a familiar final a familiar final at least it's not you know Two randoms that we never expected to be here So at least we've got a final that has a little bit of a lot of weight in the ATP world and the men's tennis landscape, you know, sinner obviously we know who he is Medvedev back in form fifth final the row Let's get to the preview though because these two guys have played actually a lot and they've actually played recently Daniel Medvedev versus Yannick Sinner is the final of the Miami Open for the men for 2023 and both players had to fight to get to the final Yannick Sinner started the tournament off as a number 10 seed We're gonna buy in the first round the second round he take on Jera This was no problem for Sinner getting through in straights six four six two in the third round he take on the 21 seed Demetrov But again, this was no problem for Sinner getting through easily in straight sets six three six four in the fourth round He take on the number six seed Rublev We had had interesting matches against in the past But Sinner was on fire and destroyed Rublev six two six four to advance to the quarter final stage in the quarter finals Sinner would take on the unseated Russavari who had a very good tournament to get to this stage This was no problem for Sinner getting through in straight sets six three six one to advance to the semi finals in the semi finals Sinner would have to take on the number one Alcaraz It was also the defending champion and going for the sunshine double after a very close first set Sinner would rally back to win Six seven six four six two to advance to another Miami final Medvedev started the tournament off as the number four seed We're gonna buy in the first round the second round he take on Bayanna This was no problem for Medvedev winning in straight sets six one six two in the third round It was supposed to play Mulchan unfortunately Mulchan pulled out with injury allowing Medvedev to get the easy win with a walkover In the fourth round Medvedev would take on Hallis It would save match points against Diminor a couple of rounds ago But this was no problem for Medvedev getting through in straight sets six four six two to advance to the quarter finals McQuarter Finals Medvedev will take on the qualifier you banks Medvedev would eventually get through in straights six three seven five To advance to the semi finals McSemi finals Medvedev will take on the number 14 seed Hashinov a close friend and a man that he'd beaten earlier in the year But after a close first set and losing the second Medvedev would have to fight in three seven six three six six three to advance to the final These guys have played five times before with Medvedev leading the head dad five zero including a meeting a couple of months ago in Rotterdam that went three sets This will be the first time they actually play on an outdoor hard court in their careers the steel percentage goes to Medvedev However, it's Sinner who has the baseline battle percentage in his favor when Medvedev has the conversion in in attack in his favor So it's very very close all around and of course no surprise that both these guys are well and truly above the tour averages for each respective Category so it's probably gonna come down to how good Medvedev serves and how good can Sinner return and what are the baseline battles gonna look like Between these guys because throughout the whole week Medvedev has struggled at times on the baseline with consistency And of course we just saw Sinner play an epic match against Alcoraz where he was hitting winners from all over the place The shot quality is calculated in real time by analyzing each shot speed spin depth with the impact it has on the opponent This is a new way of analyzing matches brought to you by tennis insights Do you want to check out more you can go check them out on Twitter link down in the description This is gonna be an awesome matchup And I feel like Sinner getting a lot of confidence from that win against Alcoraz and Medvedev didn't play that great in his semi-final Against Hashinov, but I can't go past that head-to-head five zero. I have to pick Medvedev in this one He's been so good for the last couple of months. This is fifth final in a row So I'm gonna go with Medvedev in a three setter. Hopefully a tiebreaker in the third That would be epic to finish the week, but I'm gonna down the comments below. Who thinks it'll win Miami. All right Players are on call. Perfect timing. So you can see there Quarter-finals onwards. We didn't have any three setter in the quarter-finals, but we did in the semi Of course Alcoraz, Sinner one of the matches of the year. I mean, we had that highlight shot Of course that highlight rally that everyone's been talking about over the last couple of days We've also had Medvedev versus Hashinov, which I think was a little bit of a surprising Three setter because Medvedev didn't play well. Medvedev was not at his best So Sinner's never been Medvedev. I feel like if he's gonna get him it's today But obviously, you know my prediction and then you can see a quarter-finals. Nothing really happening during the quarter-finals Everyone kind of getting through pretty easily Somebody Yannick Sinner though number 11 in the world 21 year old from Italy He's six for two right-handed 16 wins four losses on the year one title to go with that Just after the Australian Open seven career titles and you can see that his form has been very good He made the Indian world semi-finals last week losing to Alcoraz then this week. He beats Alcoraz and of course Medvedev also lost to Alcoraz last week. So maybe that's what we happy doesn't have to play against that same man But he is world number five Medvedev 27 year old from Russia He sits with six right-handed 24 wins three losses on the year three titles as well back to back to back He's made five finals in a row He's since the Australian Open. He's been amazing Medvedev. He's back and also Trying to get to back in the top four back into the top four this week You can win this match And you can see there his form has been amazing except for that one loss to Alcoraz And this is the interesting part five zero The head-to-head in favor of Medvedev all indoor hardcourt matches I heard Jim courier say, you know indoor hardcourts, you know favoring Medvedev because the conditions are perfect He can get a good good pace on the serve This is probably the there's gonna be the slowest court they played on though because outdoor hardcourt Miami's not as slow as Indian Wells, but it's not as fast as those indoor courts where the conditions are very very Sanitized So it's gonna be interesting and also I think there's supposed to be a little bit of rain around or at least some a lot of little humidity so That's gonna be maybe a factor as well down the track We'll see if there is a delay or if there's moisture in the air it could slow things down or more You know, I think they're their favorite sinner the slow the slow the conditions are better for sinner Hey Need an Alcaraz and sinner finals sometime this year folded hands fire. Oh, we will I'm sure we will We just need them to be on opposite sides of the draw We will we'll get a sinner Alcoraz final at some point. I don't know what maybe not the big event events But I reckon we'll get one. We got one last year. We've got some That umar final, so I'm sure we'll get one. Thank you for the donation Anonymous looking forward to the match. Yeah bit disappointed by all the sinner Alcaraz Novak fans bashing each other online lately Seems like these players respect each other yet online trolls want to rip the other players game character and personality apart Thank you. No to the five. Yeah, look, it's just it's like that But the good thing is that those people are like a small percentage of the actual tennis fan base for the most part What I've been seeing on on on socials besides yet, you know that that is how excited everyone is and And almost like a collective sigh of relief. It's like, oh, thank God Even they even said this on tennis show. I was watching Um, I think it was Jim Curry and Mark Pesci. They were like they were like they were worried that, you know There was gonna be this lull in tennis after the goats retired, you know But then all of a sudden you got a group of players coming up that are You know Alcrestina who are making it taking over from the goats And you know, everyone's like, you know, the class it's almost a cliche at this point You know tennis in great hands future is bright blah blah blah um Yeah, maybe every I think everyone, you know journalists Commentators to everyone in tennis is like Thank God we We don't have to have like, you know, five years of rebuilding It's gonna be it's gonna be pretty quick that we get straight into the the new generation It's gonna take hopefully they take over But I mean after this tournament, we'll talk about after this match But what do you want to see on next? What matches do you want to see? You know, who do you want to see play who now? I mean, everyone wants to see Alcrest versus the goats again, right? Sina versus Djokovic and Alcrest and Nadal. I want to see those those matches Medi playing like this Playing Djokovic again. I want to see that but Yeah, I think it's kind of Everywhere like there's a lot of people that we're lucky that we got wta like, you know, if if we had a five year hiatus from ATP because no one was stepping up We could just watch the women's tennis But uh, yeah, it seems like everyone's like, oh, thank god. We've got Sina and Alcrest. Oh, thank god. Oh Oh Grace should be a cracker fire biceps should be a cracker for sure. They give it the 10 Zach I came to casino to watch this one on big screen. This match deserves it Let's go. Medi. I put $800 on Medi. How is he even money odds mine shocked? Yeah, mate? What's most finals in a row? Thank you for the five. Yeah, I'm shocked at that too that made a bit of his even money Yeah, I mean the head to head suggests He should win like he should win like this it's kind of crazy um Yeah, that it's like 50 50 um, maybe it's Maybe it's because Medvedev didn't play well in the last match and Sina bit Elcraz and people are freaking I mean Sina was the underdog against Alcrest, which I thought was crazy that he was that big of an underdog against Elcraz But yeah Medvedev I'm a little shocked with that too Um, I don't know what the most finals in a row is but I know Medvedev that he won like six He played six finals in a row In 2020 Or 2019 so I mean that's the longest Final streak that I can think of recently was Medvedev. So he's done it again. Also. Thank you simply grace for the 10 Appreciate that. Uh, yeah, best of three best of three sets this one a lot of people must have bet Sina While he was the underdog. Yeah, probably But yeah, I'm a little little surprised at uh, because Medvedev I mean he's never lost a sinner. So it's like he's not even the slight favorite, you know like the head to head doesn't matter I don't know. Well, my betting is open on the uh, you can bet your bet your points if you want. Um I'll close that after the first game well, uh He was he even started out at minus three 130 at the first. Okay All right. Well, here we go Daniel Medvedev is going to serve Let's find out who's going to be the Miami open champion for 2023 Sina made the final here back in 2021 Medvedev Coming off a final in Indian worlds both guys Had to play Medvedev had to play Alcares back last week. No one has to play Alcares Uh, well Medvedev doesn't have to play Alcares this week And he's probably breathing a sigh of relief. You tell me who's going to win this match I Have got Medvedev in three. I picked that uh, just because that head to head is so So one like how it's so hard not to look at that and think okay 15 love here is Sina hits it in the net um First point Medvedev. Oh, yeah, I man A lot of people addicted to gambling here. Um, no The points that we're gambling are just uh fake fun mucking around, but you don't have to get involved. It's all right If you don't you know, that's cool back in a backhand rally Again at the backhand of sinner backing up from medvedev into the form of sinner Into the form of meddie again to the form of sinner on the stretch now medvedev. He hits a backhand into the form again of Sinner as medvedev hits the backhand down the line sin with the forehand Again to the form of medvedev down the line to the backhand of sinner medvedev getting in control here Is he hits the forehand into the form of sinner volley from medvedev? Wow. How the hell do you hit that shot? What a weird volley but effective 30 love And I feel like the difference in today's match compared to like the hashtag of match compared to the elkers match last week Is it medvedev's gonna have more time to construct the points against elkers? He had to like like he had to hit big serves He had to he was freaking out because elkers was getting so aggressive so early Sinner doesn't really get aggressive sinners Well, what we saw yesterday was sinner was the other day when he played elkers sinner was really really I wouldn't say aggressive, but he was like he was in the ball really hard Because elkers were hitting it really hard so they were kind of like playing off each other Whereas medvedev doesn't give you the pace so sinner I don't think he's gonna start like smacking winners like he was against elkers Also sinner doesn't have to do that against medvedev. He can you know take his time as well 40 love and I think that favors medvedev I mean a slower, you know longer rallies favor medvedev as that goes down from sinner one love meddy. All right beddings closed Most people gone sinner interesting 40 42% of gone medvedev 58% of gone sinner interesting All right. Good luck to all now. So I don't know. I just feel like yeah just kind of The lesser less like there's no urgency For either guy because they can just kind of you know take it take the time You know construct the points Whereas yeah, when they played elkers, especially when he played hashtag on medvedev hashtag was just smacking the ball hard Medvedev was scrambling. I don't think sinner is going to be all that aggression today Uh All right one love meddy solid start. What's up touchy? How you doing? All right one love med v dev All right, sinner to serve Let's see what happens here as he serves A let out wide now the court is half covered in shade half in sun So it's that awkward time of day that we avoided yesterday, but um, unfortunately today we are back in that awkwardness All right one love a citizen ace bang Now I expect one tiebreak today one tiebreak 15 love Darren cahill in the house 15 love the winner of this will go on to Win one of the big trophies and neither of these guys have won a big trophy this year Big trophy being you know grand slam or mars one thousand Medvedev's won a couple of like he's won obviously rotted down which is a 500 event That's kind of a third level like level three trophy But it's a level two trophy That's where to find a fine rally in the net from medvedev 30 love And sinner of course is not uh ever won a level two trophy or a level one trophy He's only ever won Uh, what is the biggest trophy he's won is he won a 500? Yeah He has right Right Pretty sure he's won a more 500 He made the quarterfinals every grand slam percent already. How crazy is that? Made the quarterfinals of every slam at the age of 21 French the last year he made he almost made all the quarterfinals of last year In fact, sinner hasn't lost earlier than a fourth round since until uh since wimbledon 21, which uh I mean not many people that was his first main draw of wimbledon so 400 fine now 30 love here it's in here to find on the stretch medvedev down the line sinner with the back end Into the back end of medvedev again to the back end of sinner as many let's it go long and it's 30 15 So yeah, so the biggest trophy sinner's ever won was washington and that was back in 21 But we can't even don't have to do it and everything else Look, I know people give a lot of shit to casper rude Yannick sinners only got 250 events as well and a 500 But we don't talk about that with sinner because we all expect him to go on and do other things whereas I think maybe with uh With rude people don't expect much from him. So He's easier to pick on Return goes out 40 15 Nice serving from sinner feels like the crowd favorite of sinner as well Probably won a lot of fans after that alca res match A lot of people probably watched that and went hey The guy that beat the crazy kid I'm going for him 40 15 Serve down to the slice of medvedev return goes. Oh just over there. Sinner with a four fine in the net Hit the table and over from meddie awkward for sinner 40 30 Um, but sinner was never ranked in top 10 rude was top three. Yeah, maybe that's why you know the fact that rude was sort of He's ranking but that's because he made the finals of slams. I mean Sinner has made the quarterfiles over slam. I guess sinner's more like all-round consistent as well. Maybe that's a that's a reason He doesn't get as much and we expect like we I think you know, we all Know that sin is probably gonna win a slam Whereas rude I think a lot of people don't uh Think will win a slam a sinner hits that wide or at least don't don't think he's the favorite to win any of these Slams coming up in the next 10 years Especially with guys like this around All right Crowds gone wild. They're like jesus Come on. Sinner you beat oak rez. This guy's not oak rez. Come on. You can beat this guy Here we go Little pressure on sinner serve to start serve There's a fault second serve second serve Into the find of mevvedev back in there from sinner to the back of meddie on the stretch sinner with a forehand Get to the back of mevvedev again to the front of sinner. It's mevvedev It's a four hand down the line sinner with the backhand that goes into the slice of mevvedev sinner in control with a drop shot But it's in the net And it's advantage mevvedev And it's such a different such a different matchup to elkere I mean mevvedev and elk res Yeah, they've got similar like I guess they can hit the ball hard, but They're just so such different players You know long slow grinding rallies patience Whereas elk res has got that little bit of you know almost impatience and trying to hit winners And you kind of got to be on alert whereas mevvedev He just grinds you down slowly as he returns that one meddie and that goes long good serve from sinner and he gets back to deuce Totally different mindset playing against this guy All right, we're a deuce Serve again from mevvedev I'm sorry from sinner to mevvedev Sinner serves The fault second serve Second serve into the four end of mevvedev four end from sinner inside out into the back end of Medi as we were back in the back end rally now to the four end of sinner Into the four end of mevvedev again to the four end of sinner again to that mevvedev four hand sinner with the four hand Again to the four to meddie. It's going to be these long grinding rallies. Look at the time It's already 10 minutes almost as we get a four end of the net from mevvedev and it's advantage sinner This is going to be a long match It's not going to be That exciting fireworks It's going to be long grinding probably a lot of uh Probably more errors than winners okay advantage sinner to take The game and level things up as he serves a fault Again the shadows coming over the court. It doesn't sound awkward That'll go in like 20 minutes and we'll be fine as we're to serve down the back end of Medi back into from sinner again to the back of mevvedev to the back end of sinner back in the back end As meddie goes with the forehand now cross court into the four end of sinner Four end from mevvedev down the line sinner with the back on the stretch mevvedev's in control back in the back end There's another one from mevvedev down the line sinner again with a four end on the stretch Meddie making things move as we get another four end from meddie into the four end of sinner Who goes down the line and hits it out And it's really interesting because mevvedev is a little you know, he's sort of a little more aggressive At least he's making the play We get to deuce um And remember the other day well against alchorist sinner did have some sort of a leg Maybe a cramp or something In that second set so you wonder I mean look we saw this happen exactly in rhododam remember what happened in rhododam chat i'm gonna test you What happened in rhododam in that first set if you will watch that match As we're to serve out why the four end slice of meddie meddie hits it out good serve from Good serve from sinner advantage To sinner eight minute service game here Sinner won the first set, but I don't know specifically Well, yeah, that that did happen. Yeah, you had to have watched the match to kind of Remember and also probably watch the stream that day to remember what happened And how what mevvedev did in that match What mevvedev did in that first set As we're to serve now the back end of meddie into the four end of sinner meddie with the back end Again to the back end of sinner into the back end of mevvedev back in that sinner down the line at the four end of meddie That's a good shot sinner gets it meddie back end Sinner goes with a pass but meddie doesn't come to the net so it's not going to be pass He ran back with mevvedev. What are you doing back end of four now as sinner goes to the four end of medvedev Medvedev in trouble back end now into the back end of meddie He gets back in the rally four on the forehand and the one from sinner on the back hand side There's been a back end a back end rally hit the tape goes over from meddie sinner gets it Craig goes wild there's a bit of drop shot in the net from sinner man sinner The thing with again totally different guy to al-karaz with al-karaz Sinner had to be aggressive because he knew if he wasn't al-karaz would Mevvedev's not going to be aggressive. I mean 25 shot rally Mevvedev's not going to be aggressive so sinner can take his time a little bit more but Also after 25 shots He's like i've had enough and then he hits a shit drop shot in the net Medvedev's won five out of the six points over nine shots. I mean keeping on that so these long rallies Medvedev's just i'll play all day. I'll hit the ball all day. I'm a brick wall Sinner's just making a couple of errors maybe because he's He should probably play more like he did against al-karaz than just kind of rally rally rally and then error Good serve there. Meddie hits it long on the return Advantage sinner Nearly 10 minutes in I'm sorry nearly 10 minutes this service game over 10 minutes into this match advantage sinner Already sweating up a storm here sinner as he serves Now why the back of medvedev serve volley from sinner? That's smart All right one one now. What happened in the first set? What happened in the first set against uh sinner in um in the medvedev magic and uh rhododam so the first set And I'll try and find exactly the time for that first set because um It's important medvedev came in with sort of a I don't care if I lose the first set kind of attitude because he knew that the longer the match went the better For him now that match went for two and a half hours first set was seven five sinner But in that match if you remember watching that if you remember the stream It didn't feel like medvedev was ever in trouble It just felt like you know medvedev's happy to just rally rally rally and he didn't look Stressed medvedev. He's like all right first set. Whatever and then he won six two six two So I feel like medvedev's got the same mindset here. It's like, hey, I don't have to win the first set I've beaten this guy five times. He's never beaten me If it goes for a long first set, especially with the cramping issues that sinner seemed to have an elk res match Medvedev's like I I back myself physically over this guy As that goes out 30 love also medvedev serve right now is uh is untouchable But that first it's he just rags out the first set because he knows the longer the match goes the better for him physically You know sinner we did see sinner, uh, and I think he's got the same that same thing that same mindset 40 love nice a statewide So that's what happened in the rod of their match the first set went long and even though medvedev Medvedev didn't win the first set didn't matter And then he came back and won the next two like it was nothing He serves a full ticket serve Of course, he wants to win like if he gets the first set, that's great, but I think medvedev really Needs the first set as much as sinner maybe does is we're back here now into the back end of medvedev medvedev It's a win. Oh jeez medvedev wins his two games in a minute Sinner battled through for his All right, are you going to swim the women's final next? Uh, women's final was yesterday. Paul It's already happened, mate. You're a day late Okay, meddy scoring so much easier. Yeah medvedev's his serve. I mean yesterday was against hashten of the other day It was kind of playing terrible Uh, by the way, we're almost at 300 likes appreciate that. Thank you That's my question the question yannick has a scary start Yeah, it just feels like these long long rallies and sinner just making those, you know those errors at the end because he knows that like Medvedev's a brick wall. I mean medvedev is supposed to hit the ball all day It's already happened. What's that? Oh, but the um the women's final yesterday. Yeah Oh, you mean the do you mean the doubles final that's coming up next doubles final Uh, sinner has never beaten medvedev He's got to shake up medvedev's rhythm somehow. Yeah, so okay. Let's You took the over nice. Um I mean look Someone in the chat said sinners should learn from alcaraz, right how to play meddy I gotta be honest. I don't think Sinner has got The weapons like alcaraz alcaraz has got every shot, right? He can come to the net. He can hit drop shots. He can Hit ridiculous winners Sinner can do the ridiculous winners, but he can't I don't think sinner's drop shots are as good He can't really like his volleys aren't as good. He's not as comfortable at the net His touch, you know, and then finesse is not as good as alcaraz I mean not many are because alcaraz are absolute freak, but so it's kind of like I just play like that guy Yeah, but you need to know I mean look a freak at tfo, right? Remember tfo and indian wells got chopped up by medvedev Even though I mean, you know, and he tried a lot of those, you know alcaraz shots Didn't pay off because he just couldn't execute. So yeah, it's a good idea and definitely the right idea, but um Can it can Sinner play like alcaraz, you know Has he got the weapons? Has he got the execution? All right, sinner serving again first game went forever Second serve now the fauna medvedev Again, the fauna sinner fauna medvedev down the line of the back end of sinner in the back of medvedev sinner with the back hand Is in the net Love 15 What am I Tyson say? Everyone's got a plan till you punch in the face Sinner's already had a live a 12 unforced errors as well and that's because After these 20 shot rallies, he's just making the error because he's getting a little Sick and tired of medvedev's brick wall Ness as we're going to return now from many of the fauna sinner fauna meddie again to the fauna sinner In the back end of medvedev down the line of the fauna sinner medvedev With the forehand down the line again goes long. Okay, bit of an error there from meddie 15 all Going to be a grind. Yeah, this is definitely not going to be uh We're not going to have the highlight shots Or at least not the uh constant best shot of the year every other point It's going to be It's going to be a slow burn today As sinner serves 15 all the return goes into the fauna sinner, but sinner hits it out. Okay 15 30 15 30 Chancey for meddie to get the break 15 30 And again medvedev just looks much more comfortable at the moment sinner Coming out of his shake. You also it's a final. You know, it's a big final that you know Sinner hasn't been able to win one of these trophies Whereas medvedev's been here done that one these one bigger ones, you know There's one atb finals trophies grand slams multiple 1000s so many knows what to do the big Big final for sinner as we're back in the backhand rally now to the find of Sinner and it's fine from medvedev in the net 30 all Why am I wearing a sweatshirt because i'm cold? It's freezing It's like eight degrees this morning. It's three in the morning. I'm cold. Is that okay? Is that a is that all right? I'm a little chilly Don't worry. I'll probably be wearing a shirt like a normal clothes in a couple days if It's okay Serve into the backhand of medvedev 30 all here sinner with a forehand meddie gets us right with the pass But it's in the net Sinner with a little fist bump 40 30. It's funny in europe because it's starting to get warm. Yeah Yeah, we're going down in australia. It's going down Temperature is dropping 40 30 Sinner to level things up Sinner with a serve That's a fault second serve Second serve into the backhand medvedev back in a sinner again at the backhand meddie down the line goes wide and sinner gets on Gets the game 2-2 But again, it's much easier for medvedev on serve at the moment Sinner surviving though The shade almost covering the court Pretty full house. You know, there are patches of like, you know missing crowd, but that's pretty I would say there's probably about an 80% 90% capacity Which is good for a final All right, average service game so far six and nearly seven minutes for the sinner Almost two minutes for medvedev medvedev says another big server. It goes out in the return of a sinner 15 love Chatter, you know, you know that I love to find new channels on youtube and I usually binge them Anyone heard of meat canyon? 15 love or pop of meat Asm t bang 30 love anyone heard of meat canyon Nope All right, medvedev.

He does like really Interesting animations double fault medvedev again The hell's going on all of a sudden medvedevs with two double faults in a row at 30 all It's because they showed the graphic on the screen that he hadn't lost a point on his serve and then he's like, I'll change that I'll show you 30 all I'm sure that's not what happened 30 all medvedev serves Another fault jesus What the hell is going on second serve?

That's a good shot Sinner with a find on the stretch meddie gets with the find of his own back in a sinner Get in the form of medvedev into the form of sinner is Medvedev hits a find again to the form of sinners medvedev with the back end slice on the stretch Sinner with a swinging volley Medi you put the pass in the net sinner gets the point Back to deuce All right back to deuce and again the only reason medvedev in this position is because he double-folded twice It's the only little The only bad patch the medvedev's had Hard court tennis is the best although I do like the color of the clay looks nice on screen especially on sunny day That's you know, I like the uh, I like the clay courts different styles different players pop up It gives a lot of players a lot of chances too. I feel like We get a lot more You know, it's not like the big servers prevail. It's you know, you can get a lot of different styles of players doing well It's not just about big hitting and big serving as we're back here down the line of the find of Sinner into the form of medvedev again to the form of sinner on the stretch meddie with the back hand Into the form of sinner again to the form of medvedev sinners into a lot wrong of running, but medvedev hits it out sloppy game from meddie advantage sinner And apparently we're going to see uh kyrgios on the clay which is going to be fun I haven't seen keeg's play on clay For like four years. So that'd be fun In a couple of uh, I don't know when he's coming back, but he said he's playing a french open So maybe you just play that maybe you won't even play the clay season. He would just play the clay Slam as that goes in the net from sinner on the return And it's back to deuce Um, yeah raffa back Obviously jokovic coming back. All right five minutes into this one Into this service game, I should say 30 minutes into the match first as the fault from meddie second serve Second serve double fault jesus as he's third double fault meddie Just a little bit weird with the second serves and look I mean look at the second serve percentage Has not really won that many points on his second serve Serve don't see the fault. Uh-oh Second serve Second serve out wide the back of the sinner sinner hits it out on the return And we get to deuce All right, we get to deuce All right first serves a fault from mevvedev second serve Second serve into the four and a sinner back into meddie in the net. Okay. Sinner with another break point It's a weird game from mevvedev Meddie he's played smart and then the serve just gone a little off and he's panicking a little bit. All right And vanish sin up Meddie serves out wide sinner returns back into mevvedev is a winner when he gets that first serve in meddie That's the difference, but he needs more of them Back to deuce. All right back to deuce as Many needs the first serves fifth deuce point here. We're only three uh five games in 30 minutes I mean like I said, it's gonna be a grind You're 30 love back to back double faults, and that's what's happened Good serve out wide the four and a sin up back into mevvedev hit the tape goes over And sinner comes in and hits a winner mevvedev getting a little angry little frustrated And we're back To break point for sinner eight-minute service game and again The thing is like sinners played some good points in this game, but it's all been mevvedev Mevvedev missing those Serves as he serves a let It's all been It's all been Sinner So it's all been mevvedev Sinner hasn't really done too much as we're going to return out the back end of Medi for now sinner into the form of mevvedev on the stretch sinner in control He had to find again to the form of meddie. Oh no sin is back Medi's back in the point as we're backing out from meddie. Sinner comes in with a volley too good Sinner breaks There's a couple of good points here and there for sinner But it was all mevvedev in that game double faults everywhere Gave sin of the chance. All right sinner breaks three two But man Sinner did play a couple of good points towards the end of that game But mevvedev broke himself. I mean meddie broke himself in that game. Those three double faults killed him. Also missed first serves as well Very easily could be broken back. Well, yeah, sin hasn't been solid. You know, he's he's had to face break points, too What's wrong with meddie and the double faults? Um, I mean good question Like the sun's not in his eyes, you know, the sun isn't a problem down this end I don't know. I think maybe he's just getting a little I don't get it got a little You're likely panicked. I mean, I don't know. He panicked as he was Serving Very tough following the ball with a shadow. Yeah a little bit like that, but the serve shouldn't be affected by that um You watch meddie get angry and boo played better. Yeah Uh, meddie is catching the several anchors a little bit Nice volley though from sin. I mean We did say, you know, that's something that alchores does did well against many last week Something the sinner will have to do More this week. All right, three two sinner with a break I don't think meddie panics to be honest. Yeah, but maybe not panics panics. Not the word. What's the word? He does get a little Like he comes in he tries it big second serves and Gets a little I don't know if impatience the word, but there's a word for it Like he gets a little bit I don't know. He just gets aggressive on the second serves and tries to like finish points really quick and I guess it does get a little impatient Maybe that is the word Flustered. Yeah, flustered rattled. I don't know if he rattled Not really rattled. It's more almost like Yeah, he just kind of gets a little Like he doesn't want to play the point. He's like, ah, I just try and serve a big serve second serve get a free point get out It like Yeah, you know, it's 15 love Sinner with an ace bang Yeah agitated. Yeah. Yeah Second ace of the day for sinner Sinner serving solid. It's the ground strokes that are the Like the ground stroke rallies that sin is having the problem with the serving is My serve overall is a little better. Yeah, he rushes the point. Uh, mevvedev He just goes through patches when he does that like all of a sudden he's like, ah Come on. Let's make this a little quicker. And then he just completely stuffs it up Is it a four to four in rally now to the backhand of mevvedev back and have a sinner Into the four to meddy again to the four to sinner into the four to mevvedev a sinner Hit the forehand again to the four to mevvedev sinner with the backhand on the stretch goes cross court Mevvedev with a slice sinners in control as he hits the backhand again down the middle Sinner gets a mevvedev against the one to sinners forehand get to the four to mevvedev Into the four to sinner hits it wide Once the rally starts Mevvedev's winning So it doesn't feel like sinners really Like yeah, he's in he's in front, but he's not in control Especially in the rallies 21 shot rally again mevvedev winning it So sinners serving strong. He's getting a lot of free points on mevvedev serve, but it's Once the rally start it kind of feels like yesterday With the women's final where kovitava once the point started Kovitava was It felt like she was going to win the point and robackena is really the only thing that held her into that Or held her up was her serve But once the rally got started you thought okay. Well kovitava is going to win this Kind of that little bit of a feeling today. Sinner's a bit a little better though He hits the drop shot there mevvedev comes in with a pass. It's a winner. This is going to be our finish But when the rally starts you just think Sinner's going to make an error or mevvedev is going to finish this point 15 30 Chance for medi to break back 530 mevvedev looks Calm on the return. It's just that second serve. That's the only real big problem for medi at the moment Those second serves Serving to the four to medi returning the net good serve from sinner 30 all needs more of those both guys could do it with a lot more first serves In the mid 50s man 30 all 35 minutes played Sinner needs the first serve here. Keep that break in his pocket. He serves a fault second serve second serve Into the four to mevvedev for him a sinner get into the four to medi into the forehand of sinner and sinner on the net 30 40 And medi looking to break straight back It's his second break point of the day medi Again, it just feels when the rally starts going you go When sinner going to make an error or you know, how many shots is never going to hit back because Sinner's not able to hit the ball through mevvedev like elk res was also elk res Has the variety as well, which we know mevvedev does struggle against his back hand goes into the four to mevvedev Again to the back hand of sinner back into medi on the stretch Sinner with the forehand down the line medi with the forehand on the stretch gets it again to the back end of sinner Now medi back in the rally four into forehand a sinner hits it Into the four to mevvedev again to the four to sinner medi with the back hand again to the back end of sinner Into the back end of mevvedev a sinner hits the forehand down the line That's a good shot medi gets with the forehand on his own four down the line again to the back end of mevvedev Into the four to sinner again hits the tape goes wide Unlucky for sinner Medi breaks back three three Sinner nervous. Ah, yeah, of course it'd be proud nervous. I mean, it's a big chance Also, you just beat alcaraz So a lot of people would probably have thought well you beat alcaraz. You can beat mevvedev, you know And that's just how you know, that's how tennis works because you know people look at you know If you don't watch as much as tennis we do, right? You're gonna look on the outside and go well if you can beat alcaraz, you can beat mevvedev Mevvedev's not as good. Mevvedev's not as you know, he's not number one blah blah, but we know that doesn't that's not how tennis works It's not It's not based on the rankings It's based on style and matchups, right? Just like yes the other day when everyone's saying Sinner had no chance because you know He beat mevvedev alcaraz beat mevvedev and everyone else, you know Sometimes styles just work different ways and some reason against mevvedev Sinner just doesn't have it Whatever reason he just doesn't seem to be able to work it out. It's just an awkward matchup 15 love, all right 15 love second serve from mevvedev And with the double faults in the last service game with the reason met he got broken Is it a return now if we hit the tape goes wide again from Sinner That's not helping Sinner at all today 30 love I'm telling you met he wants to tie down Sinner Yep, yep, that's definitely part of it 30 love Serving to the back of the Sinner return goes in the back end of mevvedev. Jeez mevvedev just pushes that one Almost outside the doubles alley 30 15 and see the thing is By the way the trainer I think the umpires on the phone. I don't know what he's doing Training coming out for somebody 30 15 Whenever the umpire has the walkie-talkie, you know, it's either rain or Or a trainer is it a back end now from mevvedev in the back end of Sinner for now met he to find a sin of 30 15 here as mevvedev goes on the line with back in a sinner Sinner hits it out 40 15 40 15 As mevvedev tries to get back in front but again, it's this has just been a very I don't know. I mean It seemed very straightforward what's happening right now, you know, because we've seen it before You know we saw it in Rotterdam the exact same thing mevvedev doesn't look bothered the three double faults in the one game of the only real blemish, but everything else was just like Seems pretty like yesterday. It's exactly like yesterday. You know, there's no like They kind of like well if mevvedev keeps doing this and Sinner doesn't change then Maybe I'm gonna win this in straight sets Unless Sinner can lift at the right time. It's gonna find out from mevvedev That's good shot. So he gets it though. Maybe with a fine winner. There it is 40 30 sorry for three and mevvedev doesn't look bothered like the double faults were a little bit weird But overall mevvedev just kind of looks Whatever he's just like okay cool trainer on court. Don't know who for Viannik Sinner What's he saying? Sinner looks physically tired He said I think he said I woke up this morning He looks like tired drain energy drained Doesn't look like a physical thing like a leg or an arm or a hand injury. It looks like he's just physically Looking exhausted. So so I think they're gonna give him some some magic potion So yeah, he looks Maybe a little out of it. Remember he did play a night match the other night and he did have a cramp a little bit in that one as a Guy running out on court with a Very nice fancy hat with his back. Is this a drug dealer? It's gonna run out of court to do open to the bag what you want. I got it all What do you want? What do you want kid? I got everything under the Sun You want the yellow pills? All right. I'll give you yellow pills. All right. Here you go This guy looks like a middle-aged dad and that's the what that's who that's that's what he wants you to think that he is a middle-aged dad That's what he wants you to think because no one was a bit. No one would suspect that guy No one would suspect that guy Okay Anyway, Sinner got some magic salt tablets or something from the from the dealer Yeah, it looks like a guy looks like a middle-aged dad on vacation, but that's what he wants you to look like That's what he wants to look like fit him with the crowd But he's got a special bag of special bag of magic Anyways, let's see if it works for a sinner sinner seemingly fatigued Not seemingly he definitely is a fatigue. He just spoke it out loud All right for four three meddy back in front Sinner serves a fault Shade is almost across the court. So we don't have the blinding light I tell you what this this cat that Very hard to see the side of the court. It's glowing Might as well be Invisible as that goes out from every 15 love all right 15 lovers sinner serves again that doctor was in the Wizard of Oz Okay All right server to the back end of Medvedev return to the former sinner for no meddy again to the find of Sinner as many hits the forehand again to the former sinner drop shot in the net and again Sinners can't execute at the moment And see that's the thing it's like when you play Djokovic right when we see people play Djokovic You got to be in you're gonna be in for the long haul like you know, it's 45 minutes will play seven games It's gonna be a long day But Sinner's trying to avoid the long rallies by hitting drop shots and shortening the points, but it's not working Because he doesn't have the execution So Medvedev isn't exactly what Medvedev wanted right Play long rallies just get the ball back and Hope that Sinner makes errors or gets fatigued and all these things right And all of those things are happening but this is playing exactly in the meddys hands 30 15 Which is why when Medvedev got went down a break. He didn't feel like he was actually losing because Other than those double faults. He's been in control of this match 30 15 serve Now while the back in a medvedev return to the volley of Sinner, that's not bad, but Medvedev's there with a pass Oh, was that in? No way What a shot from Medvedev, and that's the thing Sinner just doesn't have the same Almost aggression on the volleys. So Sinner came to the net. Nice volley. You know, it was nice But it just was like a little boop into the open court. It wasn't an aggressive attack on the net And you got to attack the net when you come to when you're playing meddie You can't just hit a little like nice volley in the open court because Medvedev's gonna get it And do that 30 all Medvedev to get the break here and lead If we can just serve there the four and Medvedev four and up and Sinner That's a good shot inside out four and winner from Sinner a little more aggression from Sinner He's gonna have to play a little bit like that if he's wanted to short the points no Elcrez Part of the reason Elcrez beat Medvedev was because he was able to hit the ball hard and threw Medvedev Whereas if you just rally with Medvedev, that's exactly what he wants Don't give the man what he wants. You got to Make it and make him angry make him frustrated All right, first of the fault second serve Yeah, first set percentage from both guys not great Return goes in the back end of Sinner four now from Medvedev in the net. There's the game four four We're the worst shot Medvedev's hit besides the double faults Carrie enjoy the channel cam Thank you for the 15 bucks appreciate that can we get some solutes in the chat for uh For Carrie appreciate that it's very generous of you to do thank you for the super chat Okay, Medvedev serves again Besides that three that one game with the double faults Medvedev has looked Solid on service. He's a nice drop shot and then a swinging volley winner from Medvedev. I mean That's the thing when you when you're beating a guy as many times Medvedev's beaten Sinner. You just never You just you can do whatever you want really you can even hit three double faults in the game And still feel like you can win like the confidence Medvedev has when he plays Sinner I mean he has nothing to fear. He's never lost to this guy like what what's he gonna? What are about? I don't know this guy's gonna beat me never happened Nice return there back end of back end of Sinner goes in the net with the back end 30 love 30 love Never have trying to get back in front And again, it's just been Cruisy for Medvedev as he serves a fault second serve second serve Into the four and Sinnerson hits a wide 40 love And that's exactly how uh How many started the match just you know getting big serves in winning the rallies betting big serves in It's exactly what Medvedev That's the star. He wants to play As he serves an ace down the tee bang All right five four That's exactly how Medvedev felt in the first couple games. All right chat. How we doing How we doing Um Medvedev on a mission like Petri yesterday. Yeah, it does have a similar vibe, you know I wonder if you parlayed Medvedev and Petra what that would have looked like Did anyone do that? What does it mean to hit the ball through? All right, so hit the ball through someone like actually, you know what? We haven't gone to school for a bit. Let's go to school. Let me just get the classroom ready I wasn't ready for school today, but we'll get there um Let me tell you what it means Because it's easier to explain things with graphics than it is to explain things with words sometimes At least for me anyway When someone explains things in text message or in words, I'm just kind of like What maybe it's just me Maybe I'm the problem Maybe it's me. Um, but yeah, I like to see things in uh in visuals Um By the way, you can clearly see it's uh school on the weekend because I look like a teacher that's uh on holidays Where the hell is my thing there it is Where's my classroom? Let's go to class uh So what does it mean to hit through somebody? It's not sunday school. No, it's cooler than that. Um, tennis school is fun so Mehvedev standing back here, right? Sinner is here So the way to hit hitting through someone For against Mehvedev, for example, it's hard to do because Sinner He hits it side to side, right? And because Mehvedev standing over back, he can cover the whole court whereas If Mehvedev was standing a little closer, for example It would be a lot easier for Sinner to hit the ball past Mehvedev. So basically There you go Hitting through someone is hitting past someone And it's really hard to hit through Mehvedev because he stands so far back and covers all that court Whereas if he stand if he did stand a little closer, or if Sinner started hitting the drop shots, right? Then that's how he could hit it like in front of Mehvedev But that's sort of how that's what I mean by hitting through someone is hitting past someone But it's it's almost impossible to do that against Mehvedev. Also, it's almost hard like Djokovic the same, right? Because he stands so far back But that's that's what that means. Hopefully that explains things and thank you. Have a good weekend class and we'll see you on Monday for Well, nothing. We'll get the week off next week. So Have a good vacation as that goes in the net there from Mehdi Sinner coming to the net 15 love And yeah, don't forget you can do great things exactly Greg's you can do great things Yeah, if Sinner throws an underarm serve, I mean that could mess things up And that's why like, you know the players that are successful against Mehvedev or have been in the last 12 months curious, right? The big one Elk res is a little different case because he has a different style than Sinner, but you know, um, you know city pass for example the way they've been able to beat Mehvedev in the last 12 months consistently is By hitting the ball not hitting the ball through Mehvedev But hitting in front of Mehvedev, you know underarm serves drop shots angled volleys, right Angled volleys as Sinner hits the backhand slice on the stretch that goes in the net 15 all Whereas if you just hit the ball deep cross court deep cross court Mehvedev just goes side to side. You need to make Mehvedev move in and out and on diagonals That's where you get the awkward positioning from Mehvedev You know if he's just going side to side That's exactly what he wants to do So you've got to hit like angled forehands, which is something that Elk res did drop shots, right Angled volleys, which is something curious does or city pass, right? Also, you have to serve well There's a lot of things going and Mehvedev is a simple it seems like a simple player But uh, or at least a straightforward player, you know, we know how he plays But it's not easy to beat him because he serves an ace down the tee 30 15 That's his third ace of the day Sinner no double faults from Sinner The only breaker serve against Mehvedev was those three double faults in that game. So Interesting as we to serve now down while the backhand of Mehvedev return goes in the corner Sinner And Sinner smacks a winner 40 15 It's a solid game from Sinner All right 40 15 You can always bury him with an avalanche of serves You gotta you gotta get those more first serves in I feel like Sinner's first serve percentage needs to be at least 65 to 70 All right serve Is an ace bang. All right, that goes a long way a few free points in that game. It's five five first set And again, I don't think Mehvedev's bothered if he loses his first set, you know If he loses the first set, I don't think he's that worry because really he has been Besides that last game he has been in every single game Mehvedev He's either one of his serve or you know just being broken or he's been in that service game That's actually the first time probably the best game of the match for Sinner on serve A couple of aces three points As many serves a fault second serve second serve Now while the former Sinner return goes in the backhand Mehvedev Mehvedev puts it away And also Mehdi knows that Sinner is fatiguing because The trainer came out on court gave Sinner some Whatever they were the pills 15 love A bit of serve into the net second serve Second serve is a double fault. Oh god. Okay. Here we go again 15 all Also, this is a perfect Perfect time for Mehvedev as well Now over an hour first set and then he serves an ace that wide bang You know a long drawn out first set. That's what Mehdi wants He doesn't want to play A quick match because that means He can't be physically it won't hurt his opponent, but this is Exactly what he wanted He serves an ace that wide bang a long first set even if he loses this first set Mehdi. He's done the work to at least Tyre Sinner out Sinner needs the first set more than Mehdi though. I think we can all agree fifth ace from Mehvedev serve Down to the back in the center Sinner on the net Mehvedev 6-5 Because dragging out the set and then winning the set Is a double win from Mehvedev All right Mehdi leads 6-5 Sinner serving to get in the tie break. Let's answer more questions Actually, I'm gonna ask you a question. Where you're watching from? That's the time of the show where you tell me where you're watching from. Let me know Let me know. Where are you watching from? Drag the dead Okay Okay I don't know what that means, but uh, okay The crowd's going wild by the way because Bon Jovi's in the house Whoa Okay, that's enough. Um Edinburgh. We've got uh, Nigeria. We've got Bosnia We're the uk in the house France surprise surprise. Okay. Uh, where's that? Uh, Croatia. We've got Philippines Ireland We've got Sweden Canada by the way they are playing living on a I went to a baseball game. I went to see the Yankees play in New York And Bon Jovi was sitting the front row And I know I've told this story before but at the start you just hear this Everyone's like, oh my god, what's happening? And then Bon Jovi on the screen was like, whoo Yeah And he was just kind of like Oh, they're playing you give love a bad name. All right best Bon Jovi song go Uh brazil india chicago Bangladesh morocco brazil New jersey Bon Jovi country, uh Serbia What else we got Uh, Glasgow, california Italy greece. All right best Bon Jovi song now go You give love a bad name. It's a pretty that's pretty that's pretty good It's my life True story. I had to sing that uh, well not me personally but In uh in my final year of primary school For some reason The whole year had to sing that song No idea why So it was like a nine-year-old kid. I had to sing we all had to sing Bon Jovi's it's my life A whole bunch of 10-year-olds singing that song at the same time. I don't know why we had to do that, but we did Uh, love 15 mevvedev three points away from the first set Guns and roses better than Bon Jovi. I agree. I agree. I like I like guns and roses better But Bon Jovi's got bangers. Oh, there we go Better roses love it Want a dead or alive? classic Keep the faith nice All right serve now the back of the mevvedev return goes in the backhand of sinner into the back of the mevvedev For the backhand of sinner as many hits backhand Get in the back in a sinner Maybe just pushing the ball across and sinner again eventually a sinner slaps himself in the legs All right sin sin is hurting Sinner is hurting love 30 and this is exactly what mevvedev wanted He knew that sinner was going to start cramping or something was going to happen if this match went long So everything is working for meddy the score line The pain his opponent's feeling. I mean this is exactly why mevvedev was dragging out the first set love 30 Welcome to the jungler's a great guns and roses guns roses. Yeah All right camp line dancing this bunch over now. We didn't have the line dance that day All right forehand swinging volley from sin up meddy in the net with the forehand and sinner hanging on 15 30 Now i'm going to listen to Bon Jovi. Yeah, I might listen to Bon Jovi after this Bon Jovi there was a footage of Bon Jovi going around hitting with cam nori the doc um taking taking Bon Jovi out for a uh tennis lesson Bon Jovi how the hell is that? Well, how does his hair look so good? I hope I have that hair when i'm old uh When i'm his age when I grow up, I want to be like Bon Jovi with the same hair Gonna grow my hair out be gray love that Hair goes a bit of serve down the team. Is it a week? Surely not Don't it's gotta be real, right? The back end of forehand rally is sinner hits at the back end of meddy 15 30 here Another foreign from sinner into the back end of mevvedev back in our sinner Into the forehand of meddy again at the back end of sinner It's mevvedev hits the back end again at the back end of sinner on the stretch meddy with the back end again The back end of sinner who shanks it out 15 40 and this set has been exactly How mevvedev wanted to play this match long rallies grinding rallies Errors from his opponent and besides that one little bit of a glitch With the serving from meddy in that one game where he double folded his way into a break to a breakdown This is exactly why It's exactly what mevvedev wanted Because now it's going to be even harder for sinner after an hour of and losing the set Two more hours of this Sinner's body might not hack it 15 40 serve now sinner into the form of mevvedev return goes Into the form of sinner sinner in the net. There's the set perfect from meddy 7 5 Near perfect that one little little break is served when he got that double those double folds everything else perfect for meddy from the start It's the old this is the exact Exact way mevvedev has wants to play Perfect that's why he's won five times against this guy Because this game plan is exactly right. Sinner's got to figure out how to not to get mevvedev to play this How does he play faster? How does he avoid this? We'll find out It's going to come back now. It's going to be tough. All right nine winners 26 errors from sinner And that's not because sinner's a bad Bad ground strokes or anything. Oh, sorry it is but It's not because sinner is not a good player Because he's just it has to play 30 shot rallies and then ends with an error. I mean, that's what mevvedev wants That's how mevvedev plays mevvedev making sinner error Uh 13 winners 14 errors from meddy mostly on the double folds, but yeah just grinding rallies That's it Sinner a choke up. All right, come on. Are we gonna really? You obviously don't watch that much sinners, um, but that's fine Sinner's actually got a his finals record is Almost perfect. How does he get choker if he wins more finals than he's lost? That's not do you know what do you know what that means? You know what a choker means Also a choker is someone who has a lead and then loses it sin. It was never really in the lead If you've been paying attention Um Sinner hasn't learned from past matches Well, that's the thing How does sinner change it up against meddy in the second set not just in the next match they play but in the second set Give me some ideas Give me some reasons chow. I want you to I want you to do some work now. I'm sick of I'm sick of talking Um, what do you what do you think sinner should do? drop shots galore Unfortunately, that hasn't worked though. He's hit five drop shot errors Hit wide or rush the net that could be something. I mean he has hit some okay shots at the net Rushing the net wouldn't be the worst idea Yeah, the drop shot seven. He's tried the drop shots, but that haven't worked So maybe the drop shot might not be the the way today because I mean it's gonna hit errors But the volleys have been good enough. I mean short the rallies. I mean be more aggressive. Maybe I think he should just go for angles Sinner's hit the ball and let's go to school for a second because I feel like this is a good Good way to show you what's up. So As mentioned before mev it is back here, right? How do you beat a brick wall? Well First of all, you can either be a sledgehammer like elcaras and sledge hammer your way through Right power pure power It's ways that guys like um, you know del potro and songa had beaten nadal back in the day at his peak Was basically just you know nadal was you know side to side You just try and bash the ball through him. So sinna get at the ball super flat And hope to like, you know hit a pass mev it. Now that's risky tactic Because um, I don't feel like that's gonna work today. What you could do is get it drop shots, right? Doesn't work though with sinna today. The drop shots haven't worked. You know make mev it have run forward, right? Maybe Or what I think sinna should do is angle the ball off a bit. So the ball is kind of going like this Right because that way You get mev it have moving across whoops you get mev it have moving across like this And that's a lot more awkward being here Compared to being here Is a lot harder to recover from because it's then maybe that's going to make a choice If he's standing here, right? So if mev it has to run across And run forward and backwards like this rather than side to side He's going to be in awkward position here and he got to make a choice Does he run backwards or does he run to the net and we know mev it have doesn't want to be here So that's what I think sinna should do do a little bit more angled forehands rather than Trying to batch the ball through him drop shots. I don't think you're an option today Because he just hasn't got the execution of those shots But he definitely could angle the ball, you know, he can take the pace off I mean, look at that. Remember that flick backhand that he did that incredible shot against elcores, right? He can hit angles Make mev it have sort of move on that diagonal rather than across, you know side to side off back and forth move on the diagonal Get mev it having those awkward spots in the doubles alleys And mev it has given it's given sinna angles to work with so it's not like sinna has to create the angle himself mev it ever is making these angles so sinna just has to be a little more I guess less power and more More spin So let's see if that that is a tactic that could work It could work One love mev it having second And also come to the net, you know, keep the variety just to keep mev it have guessing, you know, maybe it gets a little predictable gets a little Sorry if sinna gets predictable then maybe it's just gonna, you know cruise in the second It is a risky strategy But what's I mean, you go we got to weigh it up, right? You know, do you Keep doing what you're doing And your body falls apart and your legs cramp up and then mev it have wins anyway Or do you change things up and they're a little bit riskier And you know still lose or, you know, possibly come back and win. I mean that's That's the thing about you got to weigh up. It's like do I just keep playing the same game and losing straight sets Like seven fives in five or do I mix it up and maybe give myself a chance to get back in this match? I sinna hits that in the net Love 15 and sinna really Really looks exhausted to be honest But again, I don't think we fact it over It wasn't really a big factor going into this match of like we just didn't we just assumed sinna beat alkreis sinna beats mev it have But that alkreis took a lot out of sinna mev it have played a long match too, but Mev it have never looked sore or fatigued in that match. He just looked annoyed I love 15 Sinner with a serve Back in a mev it have back in our sinner Get in the back end of mev it have into the forehand of sinna Into the forehand of medi. I thought sin hit that one out medi did two back in the rally Sin hit the back on the stretch into the back end drop shot of mev it have sin against it with a slice down the line But hits it out love 30 See mev it has playing how the way sin should play Mev it has given away the tactic It's like the way that sin is getting played by medi. That's how sin should play medi Like the you know a little bit of variety You know off-pace angled shots It's the plan is simple. It's right there Sinner's just got to execute the same thing medi's doing to him. All right love 30 As we deserve as a fault second serve second serve Love 30 down sinner as he serves in the back end of mev it have Into the front of sinna One ever mediv again to the front of sinna into the front of medi again to the forehand of sinna And sinna what he's doing sinna is just never going to work back in the back end now That's a good angle mediv gets it back in that down the line to the front of mediv Get into the front of sinna into the front of mediv sin with the forehand Get into the front of medi and now medi's on in control sinna hits it out love 40 The way sinna play is playing is just not never going to work He's almost playing he's playing straight into mediv's hands Like hitting the ball deep and hard in the court Might work against alcaraz But mev it ever stands too far back for that to work It's it's playing into medi's hands love 40 Break points for sinna for medi It's a shame because sinna played so well against alcaraz He's just a little bit behind these other guys Good serve there though 15 40 He'll forfeit. No sinna's not gonna quit Sinna's not gonna Withdraw that'd be madness. Not a final not from cram All right, 15 40 all right 15 40 Break points again for mediv. Sinna serves Now while the front of mediv falling out from sinna into the back end of medis We are backing up for sinna slice again the back of mediv into the back end of sinna Sinna hits it out with like really nothing. Oh my it was just Just a bad backhand. All right two loves Mehvedev leads a set in a break. He's also won the last Four games in a row So disappointing for sinna was looking forward to this Yeah, look What do I say chat? What do I say? Does anyone know what I say? I say a lot of things. What do I say? I want to see who gets it What do I say? Hashtag What? Mehvedev serves an a fault second serve Returning goes in the four end of Mehvedev backing out from sinna matchups matter matchups matter, and this is just not a good matchup. Has been a volley from sinna That's a winner. Okay little change up love 15 matchups matter Um, and yeah, look sinna has a great is a good matchup against Elkraz. You know, they always play great matches It's always close But for some reason When sinna plays mevvedev It's a bad matchup for sinna Even though you would say well hey cam isn't elkraz better than mevvedev, isn't he more Variety wouldn't he be harder to play? Sometimes that happens to sinna it's a back every turn winner. Why is mevvedev serving volleying on a second server? I mean that's just arrogant Love 30. Mehdy's like i'm gonna win this match by serving volleying now. Okay, dude. Maybe not do that Don't do that Love 30 Second serve serve volleying. I mean that's just That's just rude That's just that's just rude That's just like I don't give that's disrespectful At this point All right, love 30 You do a second serve serve volleying your daniel mevvedev. That is just that's an insult to sinna I don't hear that's so obnoxious That's so obnoxious. All right. Yeah, he's trolling love 30 second serve mevvedev Into the fauna sinna on the stretch on the return fauna from mevvedev down the line sinna there with a slice in the net mevvedev 15 30 still a chance of a sinna break back though 15 30 But it's interesting. We've got this kind of like almost like this tennis triangle between these these guys and and elk rats, right Elk res beats mevvedev mevvedev beats sinna sinna beats elk rats, right? It's this weird kind of Triangle, you know And that's what it's gonna happen. You know, that's that's how tennis is gonna be It's not gonna be This guy is the best and everyone, you know, or these three are the best as many hits that are out 15 40 It's gonna be like not a big three because there's other players that can also factor in because there's players that sinna loses To and mevvedev loses to or beats and elk res loses to and beats, you know, there's But this is just how tennis is gonna be like not It's not gonna be one guy who can beat everybody Not yet. Anyway Everyone's gonna have a kryptonite as we had a find a fine rally a slice there for a foreigner from mevvedev down the line The back end of sinna into the form of meddy meddy hits it out. Okay that Again, just like in the first set that game was mevvedev breaking himself sinna celebrates To get back on the set. But that was mevvedev That serve volley second serve like what are you doing? Love 30 That was just mevvedev being but we're getting bored But great for sinna Hopefully he can work on this and you know take the take the chance The mevvedev's giving him this lifeline. All right, let's answer the question Sin is old Is he 21 is that old? Maybe you're maybe old if you're like a 10 year old Uh, many outfoxed himself. Yeah, he thought he thought he went big brain He had a brain fight. Who's gonna win the french open? Uh raffa Agassi Roddick won their pickleball match. Cool New era for tennis is is coming. Yeah, well tiana. I think it's here. You know, I think Obviously jockevis nodale have still got you know, still have all the slams, but No, I think you know, it's good. I mean what two years ago three years ago But two years ago to almost to the day Two years ago was the first time we saw um a goatless masters for like 20 years, right and uh, let me just go through because And remember when I say goatless masters 1000, I don't mean The goats didn't want everything they didn't win everything But they didn't compete at that masters 1000 in miami two years ago It was the first time in like since like oh two. I think something like that in 20 years Almost 20 years And ever since like jockevis hasn't played american tournaments nodale hasn't played all the masters 1000s feta have retired. So, um It's given a lot of time like you know You know the atp wta promote 1000 events as mini slams, right? I mean this draw was massive This could have been a you know the fifth slam being indian wells, right because um the draw is massive So these are all promoted as mini slams And the goats aren't winning all the mini slams anymore I'll tell you who's won the masters 1000 since 2021 Because it's a big list of players All right, it's gonna hit it out love 15 and it all started when Nala got injured didn't play miami and jockevich Decided not to travel To the us and that opened the door for who be her catch To take out sinner in that final the first goatless 1000 event and then We've had a lot since is that back hand if one goes out from mevvedev 15 all sinner so since that moment we've had miami champion was her catch then since he passed one Monte Carlo is verev In Madrid Nadal in Rome mevvedev in toronto. It's very been Cincinnati shanghai was not on And then indian wells was at the end of the year nori won that and then jockevich Won paris Only two masters that year went to the goats and then last year fritz won indian wells Miami went to elk res city passed one Monte Carlo elk is one madrid Uh jockevich won roam crinia buster one montreal, which we all forget Uh char each one Cincinnati and then runa won shanghai So, uh, yeah again Not the goats as that goes out from sinner 15 30 Of course, uh last week Um elk res won indian wells. So I mean compared to 2019 because 2019 was the last full year of masters We had dominic team win indian wells roger federer won miami Benini won Monte Carlo and then you had jockevich win madrid rome went to nadal canada went to nadal Mevvedev won Cincinnati shanghai and then jockevich won paris. So a lot more a lot less lot less variety Yeah over the last Couple of seasons hardly anyone's won two masters in a in a year, you know the last couple of years All right 15 30 there's a return now to the foreigner sinner foreigner from evadev on the stretch Sinner with a foreign down the line to the backhand of mevvedev into the backhand of sinner Into the backhand of meddy as Sinner hits the backhand again to the backhand of meddy Backhand from sinner down the line mevvedev the foreign of the stretch Sinner's got mevvedev in trouble here as he hits the backhand now mevvedev on the stretch Sinner now in trouble mevvedev of the slice Just changing it up. It's going to find a fine rally again to the backhand now of sinner Backing up from mevvedev into the fine of sinner hits a drop shot in the net Just doesn't have that shot sinner And again like a 25 shot rally ending with a drop shot error. I mean that's happened at least five times today Sorry runa won paris Did I say shanghai's my bad? I was looking at the wrong one runa won paris No one won shanghai because shanghai was not a tournament hasn't been for four years Hopefully this year All right, 1540 sinner again under pressure on serve He serves a fault second serve second serve Is into the backhand of mevvedev return the backhand of sinner sinner hits it out 3-1 meddy 3-1 mevvedev Sinner with hands on hips This does not know what's going on All right mevvedev leads 3-1 one in In the second Um Yeah broken again. Yep Sinner is triggering my heartburn Yeah, look and it's crazy because The odds going into this match were 50 50 And even zack said at the start of the match like and zack knows like how is this happening? It is crazy It is like it was crazy to think that this was an even match going in Like it was never it should never have been a 50 50 As the mevvedev serves an ace seven aces for meddy now. This was never meant to be A 50 50 match. It was always mevvedev the favorite Sinner had never been mevvedev. You know, it's all up here another ace eight aces now and I'm meddy When you're never lost to a guy That should be part of the advantage. That should give you some points Versus the fault taker serve and meddy was it. Yeah, was it even money? It was crazy Especially with the sinner, you know body a physique, you know physical problems that you had with alchemy a little bit Meddy didn't play well in the semis as he hits a winner there 40 love you know, it's It was kind of crazy or it has been crazy now. Maybe sinner comes back and you know, we get this crazy comeback, but I mean, yeah, it's Of course, this is the way it played out. It played like this is in uh in in In um Rotterdam was the exact same way Maybe on clay Maybe on clay. That's the only the only way that maybe sinner gets a win over meddy is a clay court match, but Or maybe on a wimbledon on a grass court maybe but Maybe a double faults Is we're to serve A let from A let from meddy Well, I shout to the 3 000 people in the chat appreciate that Jesus We've got a lot of a lot of you guys have shown up this week appreciate it. Um, thanks for joining If you haven't subscribed make sure you do Got plenty of things to cover next week Uh, kind of wrapping up the hard court season and getting ready for the clay so Join us next week as we're backing down the line to the point of sinner in the net from sinner for one Meddy got plenty of plenty stuff go up next week. Uh, there's no matches really to watch next week. Like I said, they're tournament is playing but um There's not really that much going on next week Uh, worth watching, you know, no none of the big names are really playing Uh, pagool is playing in you know in some plays are playing in charleston, but Again, really the clay court season starts Next monday week in Monte Carlo. That's the start of the clay court season Because you know the americans clay courts and all that, you know, people usually forget about them. So, um Monday week, that's when we're coming back strong into Monte Carlo because that's a master 1000 as well since he passed defending champion jockovic returns Rafa's on the card. So Monte Carlo So we get a week off. So go away next week Go and do everything that you've avoided doing in march because we were watching all the tennis go and Go and see your families go and hang out with friends. Have the week off chat. You've earned it.

I'll tell you but um be free. You're allowed to be free Chatters be free Jokovic win Monte Carlo you reckon okay I'll be doing my washing. There you go. Yeah clean the house do the washing make some food You know, yeah We've all we've all worked at chat. It's been a big couple of months or couple of weeks. I should say we all could take a breather Also, we've got the week weekly ranking show coming out today big change in the rankings of course at the top of the rankings because jockovic who didn't play um Got to number one go figure so that so that is uh So that's interesting and there's a little bit of changes on the women's but the big changes are in the race of the finals That's where the changes are at Especially with cavitava. All right. Sinner's serving a full one down on the second. He's also lost The first set. Can we you balding? Um, I'm already bald. I'm wearing a wig. So just don't tell anyone Don't tell anyone Keep between us, mate 15 love As we deserve as a fault second serve Second serve sinner to the back end of Medvedev back in there from sinner Get in the back end of meddie Into the back end of sinner as many hits back hand again The back end of sinner made with the forehand down the line that goes into the back end of sinner Is we're backing up from medvedev again to the back end of sinner as many hits back hand Get in the back end of sinner into the back end of meddie into the sinner back hand who hits it Wide it's not a bad rally from sinner. Just that last shot 15. Oh I'm gonna go back to lurk mode. No worries. Actually. We'll see you later. Thank you for lurking Shout to the lurkers. Can we get some lurks in the chat for the lurkers because we love to talk to the lurkers lurkers are great In fact lurkers make up this channel If it wasn't for the lurkers this channel would be uh, terrible So shout to the lurkers We'd have about 10 people in the chat if it wasn't uh, you know, if we didn't have a lurker. So thank you Shout to the lurkers 30 love sinner That's it lurkers right here. We love that lurk legion. That's it Shout to the lurkers because in reality We've got over 3,000 people in the chat Uh, sorry 3,000 people on the channel watching right now. Shout out to you. Um It's probably like a hundred people chatting maybe so, uh, all those people listening out there doing the washing working We've got you covered with the tennis that volley goes in but that's terrible from sinner and then medvedev goes straight at the sinner It says sorry. I didn't mean to hit it that year 30 all Medvedev running up running away with a second And this has just been the perfect match and I think now we've got to start every like, I mean we talked about in rhododam, right? We talked about in rhododam. Medvedev doesn't need to win the first set in this match to win He just needs to make the first set long Oh Jesus He died But But this is exactly what the sinner says now he's bang. This is how medvedev plays sinner now Sinner's got to go back and go. Okay. How do we avoid? First of all losing the first set maybe change the game plan, but how do we avoid playing a long first set? Because that's really the secret to this matchup not the fact that medvedev won the first set The first set went for an hour. How does sinner not play an hour first set against medvedev? That's what he needs to figure out How does he make this match quicker? Because after like if it's a battle of attrition medvedev is going to win Sinner gets on the board though again for two So that's where we're at four games to two And I mean he's played medvedev five times on indoor courts. So it's not really the surface speed. That's a problem, right? This match has only been an hour and a half. It's been uh It's been quick. Yeah, but no, no, but the first set went for an hour How does he get how does he win this? Well, how does he win the first set or how does he not play an hour first set? Because that's where the damage was done for medvedev. The second set medvedev has run away, but That hour for the first set. I mean, that's where the match was won from medvedev or has been so far winning from medvedev How does sinner avoid that? How does he play a 45 minute first set that still goes to 75? You know, how does he? How does he play a 30 minute set and maybe get the 6-4 win, right? How does he quicken up the points because playing 30 shot rallies ain't ain't it double fault medvedev that helps How does he do it? Well, he's got to figure that out. I don't know the answer. I'm not asking the question He's got to figure that out. Darren Cahill has to figure that out All right, medvedev serves An ace out wide bang double fault ace 30-15 Jesus on the line by a millimeter All right 30-15 medvedev serves Down to the finder of sinner. Sinner on the net 40-15. How crazy is this chat? The score line of this match is almost identical to the women's final And it's almost I've got the exact same feeling about this final as I did in the women's final yesterday It just kind of it felt like As medvedev hits that out 40-30 It felt like the only thing sinner could do in the first set was serve The ground strokes were going to medvedev everything else. And that's what petra had yesterday The serving of reback and it kept during the match, but In that first set But it was everything else was going to petra Feels exactly the same as that final yesterday and the score line is almost the same He serves that wide sinner in there. All right, meddie 5-2 in this second set. He's one game away from lifting his first Miami open All right, 5-2 I still don't understand people think that alkreas winning the indian wales over medvedev is a big deal medvedev didn't like the court indian wales Yeah, no Yes, and no, I can see where you're coming from Medvedev hated the court the conditions weren't great, but I feel like if medvedev played alkreas today Alkreas would have had a similar score like last week, you know We talked about it so much the other day Who does medvedev want to play and it was always the sinner obviously I feel like medvedev plays alkreas again on a hard court. Even if it's a faster hard court I still think alkreas wins Because the variety of alkreas wins not the court speed But yeah, medvedev didn't like the court, you know, that could be a part of the reason but it's the uh Alkreas has variety sinner doesn't have as much variety Medvedev has the confidence over alkreas. I mean Medvedev plays alkreas next time. He's gonna be like shit. I remember the last time. Let's not have that again So there's a lot of things there's a lot of reasons why medvedev lost last week And it's winning today and to win four titles in five events meddie. That is insane I mean, is there a better player right now? Is there a better like the power actually no, we're gonna know the power rankings perfect timing good good segway me So here's the power rankings. You can see there medvedev number one sinner number four Now sinner will go up for beating alkreas. He will go possibly to number two Because jokovic hasn't played so he might get enough points to go up to number two but Medvedev is number one For a reason he's beaten jokovic. He's beat beating sinner He's beaten everyone but alkreas. So, you know, like I said power rankings I'm not about Uh necessarily about what you win, but who you beat But also if you win a lot of trophies, you're gonna be up the top and medvedev's about to go four trophies Four titles this year medvedev. We're only in march. That's in. Oh, just we've just finished march. That's crazy jokovic got two alkreas got two sinners got one nori's got one fritz has got a couple, but uh four titles in I mean crazy Absolutely crazy. So medvedev if you win today will stay number one on the power ranks but um, man And sinner's going to be up number probably number three I think it should be because jokovic isn't being here. So it's hard to say where he should be but um But yeah, medvedev well and truly the best player on the planet right now Most informed right now 30 love Nice four in there from sinner serving to stay in the match Kenyanic come back He needs a meddy meltdown He needs that meddy meltdown that he got in the uh in the first set where he double folded three times If he gets that You could get the break back, but I think if medvedev doesn't double fault in the next game Then uh, it is all done Uh, blue. Yeah, the blue trophy is a united cup a team trophy. So Uh, because those trophies matter. I think people we don't well, they don't count as official trophies, but It does matter as we're going to find out a lot of back and sit on the stretch. Maybe he gets the point 30 15 um Yeah, the blue trophy is a team event. So united cup davis cup Because the power ranking has taken into consideration every match of play Uh, not just uh atp or davis cup So, um, if you beat someone in the united cup, you're going to get or you win the united cup. You're going to get You get a trophy for that. So Even though it doesn't count to your total career titles is that's a winner there from sinner nice serving volley Look, he does have that in him, but he hasn't done it enough. He's at serve probably about five times Um, or serve volley. It's sorry, uh, like three times come to the net about five or six times Let me check net points one Actually come to that 16 times Or he's won 10 out of 16 net points, which you know, sometimes you don't have to hit a volley to win a point But it feels like he has hit a couple of clean volleys sinner, but not enough as he serves an ace out What okay now Mehvedev serving for the championship, but Sinner I feel like If Mehvedev gets first serves in it's done gg's Let's see can sinner get the first point here and make Make it interesting Maybe not a comeback but make it interesting Sinner's still throwing he's pumping his fist so he knows that he can Well, at least he feels like he can come back Is Mehvedev going to be generous? Let's see I feel like Mehvedev has hit two double false to lose this game Serve down to the back and a sinner return goes out 15 love First serves go in, Mehvedev's got this title 15 love Serve Mehvedev again Down to the corner sinner return goes in the corner Mehvedev back in a sinner into the forehand of Mehvedev Sinner with the backhand again at the backhand of Mehvedev into the forehand of Sinner Mehvedev with the forehand a sinner hit the forehand inside out and wide Sinner just throws the racket of that one And it goes wildly wide 30 love And that's the thing Sinner is trying to Again, I just think the tactics are off Darren Cahill one of the best coaches in the world He needs to teach Sinner how to hit angled shots As many serves a false he could serve Bashing the ball deep into the court against Mehvedev doesn't work Second serve out wide the find of sin up return to the front of Mehvedev That's a winner down the line championship points from Mehvedev 40 love Again, don't forget to subscribe clay court season coming up next But daniel Mehvedev That's got three championship points to take home the miami open He serves down to see the front of sinner return goes in no it doesn't it goes out, but it's not at all It was a let It was a let it was a let it was a let it's not over not yet Bond Joby's got his phone out. He's like I've got to take the photos Or he's talking to someone a face time now. He serves meddie down the t-center returns it in the net. There's the Mehvedev shrugs his shoulders he's like I'm the best player on the planet You are but you got to beat alcares as well, mate. If you beat alcares, you're number one meddie But without alcares. He is number one meddies. No doubt. He's beating everybody Including jokovic ggs He's beating sinner twice jokovic He just hasn't been alcares, but he's won four trophies in his last five events. That is insane daniel mevedev I feel like he kind of won the hard court season with this win But the problem now is that meddie doesn't have a hard court match into august. So he's got four months of clay court hell And grass But man great win for meddie Ggs just straightforward, you know, it felt like that the whole match. He never really looked in trouble Yeah, he went down a break You know, he went down a break in the first set, but it never felt like he was down And he just beats sinner, you know when mevedev plays sinner mevedev wins Six zero six loving their head to head now mevedev's with a smile and a little fist bump And he's got the miami open. I love like this is what we missed last year You know, we had alcares coming up and you know and and you know, whatever Um, you know, we had the goats not playing, you know, nadal injured and jokovic You're not allowed to play in america mevedev wasn't playing well was very got injured Citi pass was good at times, but then, you know, pretty inconsistent It's so good to have like, you know, sinner playing, you know Getting to finals or, you know, doing well, uh, you know, jokovic obviously is back for good now Unless he gets injured But to get mevedev back, I feel like that's he's just the missing piece You know between the goats and the and the kids, you know, mevedev and evens ver have come back You know, just get city pass back in form Such a good we have such a good cropper players And mevedev winning is good for good for the sport. It's just great to see because last year he was terrible He was terrible So it's so good to see him back. We love that for meddy Anonymous it seems like sinner knows how to beat meddy, but can't execute or it's not his game style Same tactic that novak did with meddy in dubai and tfo tried an iw and both failed Yep, good good observation Zach where i'm from we call this easy money hash cam knows hashtag Zach knows sinner can't hang with the rally king to ching Man you better shut your fuck up, okay Jack enjoyed your commentary this week looking forward to montecarlo Thank you jack for the 10 bucks appreciate that Um, yeah modicarlo clay court seasons upon us and i gotta be honest i've said this before I feel like mevedev is going to surprise on clay People like i can i made the joke about meddy going to clay court hell That's only because he doesn't like playing on clay, but i think this year And especially this mevedev goat goat goat goat goat goat goat goat goat Greatest of all times melt goat Robert Thank you for the 20. Can we get some solace for robert in the chat? Thank you for the 20 bloody hell appreciate that I think mevedev is going to surprise I don't think he beats elk res on clay or you know, he doesn't beat the top top You know clay court guys, but i think mevedev winning a clay court title is not out of the question he's confident He's he's got a game that can play like why why couldn't mevedev win on clay? Why? Yeah, his movement doesn't work well and he hates the surface like he did in indian wells, but Why couldn't mevedev win on clay? Maybe he doesn't win a white 1000 event Or maybe he doesn't win modicalo or doesn't win, you know madrid or any why couldn't mevedev win, um, I don't know Smaller event. I don't know why couldn't he I mean he's got he can drop shot not great But he can drop shot doesn't have to come to the net doesn't volley because volley's on clay Not really a thing His serve doesn't work as well. So he won't get the free points. I feel like if mevedev doesn't get pissed off Because that's what I think I think half of the battle is psychological for meddy, right half the time he goes out They're going oh, I hate playing on clay clay's the worst. This is I hate this surface bloody clay if you go in with that attitude You're never gonna win But if he comes out and he goes Anonymous dammit wanted to see al-kharas versus meddy part two was rooting for sinner That's all right. Thank you an honest for the two um If he comes out with a positive attitude meddy And goes, you know, I'm actually gonna try this season. I'm gonna try and win win on clay You know, I reckon he I reckon he could surprise If he made a final of masters, I reckon that's a pass If he made the final of Monte Carlo or Madrid or something I reckon that's a pass for meddy, you know, because he's not a clay court guy. He's a clay court hater But why not? Why not if he comes out with a good attitude, I reckon that's half it that's he's gonna be halfway there He's not gonna beat sinner on clay probably he's not gonna probably beat al-kharas of either or you know, but Why not? Why not? Maybe I'm a little bit high off the uh the four titles in five weeks, but Why not? Sinner allergic to winning 1000s. The thing is he's played two finals of 1000s. So I don't know like, you know At 21 years old. I mean so Big deal he'll win one. Yeah, meddy could win meddy could win a 250 event on clay Yeah Win Barcelona. So that's the thing. What what it will come down to there's two things right first medvedev attitude Medi's attitude on clay Right going into the clay court season with a little bit more of a like especially winning this title I feel like winning the last four weeks or the last four out of the five last tournaments I feel like he should go into the clay going I'm the most informed player. Yeah, it's not on the clay, but I'm you know, he should be feeling He should he should have a bit of a swagger in you know and go I'm gonna I'm gonna win on clay this time He should I mean if he can't do it now who never went on clay because he's in the best form He's been in in recent years. He's going to the clay court season healthy You know last year was injured didn't play most of it If he's got a positive mindset You know, maybe again, I don't think he beats the top dogs, but You know might not have to play them, right? So I think it comes down to his attitude on clay But also it comes down to the draw. So hopefully he doesn't have to play Elk res in the semis or Elk res in the quarters or Djokovic in the quarters or City pass on clay, right or even sinner on clay. I think if he avoids playing those guys, he can win a title, right? some people forget because Some of you might not have been on the channel back in 2019 But in 2019 Dan or Mehvedev on clay Was actually a thing like he was actually he was not like all the memes that come out about Elk res on clay happened in 20 Happened in 2020 21 22 In 2019 Mehvedev did not hate the clay. In fact, he played. Well, he beat Djokovic on clay so He lost the city pass, but he beat Djokovic. Let me go through what what his record was on clay in 2019 because um I feel like that's important. Also sinner. Look He's still had a very good season so far, you know played well in Australia and opened five sets against city pass Rotterdam final Indian Wells semi-final final of Miami He's got a title as well. So the sinners having a good season I know people are going to be angry about you know people that bet on sinner today are going to be like He lost me money. Uh, but also, you know, you probably should have Picked that Mehvedev wasn't come on. Listen to Zach. Zach. No Zach said don't pick Mehdi. Don't pick sinner. So You should have been here. Um, but Sinner's going to play well on the clay, you know He might win. He could win Monte Carlo or uh, Rome Madrid, right? Especially if he plays Mehvedev On on the clay. I think that's where he gets his first win All right, let me have a look at the clay court records of Mehvedev um So back in 2019 he was eight wins five losses in 2020 was zero and two five and three and 21 three and two last year because of course he didn't um Play most of it, but remember last year he played the french open made the quarter finals so You know So back in 2019. This is what his form was. He went into Monte Carlo made the semifinals beat jocovic beat city pass on clay And lost to liovic in a match that he probably should have won Uh, and then he went to Barcelona made the final lost the dominic team So he made a final in a semifinal then he went to madrid. He lost in the first round there Uh to pallor then he lost in the first round of rome to nick kyrgios Right last time kyrgios played um On clay and then he lost in five sets to to her bear The frenchman at the french open being up when he was up two sets of love so And that was that that match there The her bear match was the match that really I think Left a bad taste in Mehdi's mouth when it comes to clay court tennis because he played a frenchman in France The french crowd are ruthless and brutal. Some would say disrespectful I didn't say that some other people say that uh her bear frenchman in france Mehdi you know Mehdi already we know he has a you know, sometimes the crowds get a little bit on his nerves and I think that's where he That's the that's the match that really hurt is uh, like that's when he hated clay But before that he was great. He lost the dominic team. He lost the liovic He beat jokovic on clay. Like I said, he beat, you know, um since he was on clay I feel like him ever to has the attitude he can win it. He can play he can play on well on clay. Maybe not win titles but play well Karen shoot why can't sinner beat him Super bummed don't like Mehdi So wanting all karas to beat sinner cuz sinner just can't beat Mehdi Thank you Mary Thank you cam. I love your commentary. I think janik could have done it by guzzling electrolytes and salt tabs and hiding his pain a little better Thank you for the 20 appreciate that and thank you karen also for the five appreciate uh look Is it a physical thing Probably yeah, it's partly right Mehdi Dragged out the first set um And you know sinner broke down and you know broke down in the second or broke down physically But I think it's a style. I think it's a game plan as well. I don't I don't think it's physical because the way sinner was playing Again just trying to bash the ball through Mehdi but Mehdi standing back just getting the bell back You know go on side to side And sinner was just trying to like almost like bashed down the brick wall I think sinners needs to be a little smarter deep ball in the in the uh in the court is not going to work in some of it It has to be angles So or you know come to that and volley a little more, but um Yeah, definitely a physical thing as well, but I feel like it was a bit of both Um Well, you just said he's beating city boys and jokovic on clay back-to-back mind you uh, and they played in clay called finals true Chat, okay. Now. We've already spoken about this and maybe recency bias is a little bit of a thing because he's won four out of five tournaments Mehdi he's in he's on fire Can Mehdi have win and we said this already, but maybe you weren't here can Mehdi have win 10 plus matches on clay this year He's never won 10 or more matches on clay Or at least he hasn't won 10 or more matches on clay since um I mean since he played like In 2016 when he was playing challenges, you know Beating up beating up, you know Randoms and like I said, but well back then he made a a couple of challenger quarter finals semifinals Um, he actually made a quarter final from a as a qualifier in a challenger So he won about six matches in a row on clay Um, but yeah on the on the main tour His clay court record his best record has been eight wins five losses and that was that 2019 season can Mehdi have Win 10 more 10 or more matches on clay What do you reckon? It all I feel like we're gonna learn a lot about Mehdi in Monte Carlo Because if he comes out and he's and he looks positive And he has a good attitude I feel like people should fear Mehdi He's the most informed player right now I think he can but he won't Look, I'm surprised that Mehdi has never played well in Madrid I mean, maybe it's because of the high altitude and you know all the physicality, but Mehdi has fit What's Mehdi's best result in uh What's his best result in um At that tournament because Madrid's a quick court right you can you can get um He's only made the third round in Madrid once now. I don't think you ever do well in Rome Um Yeah, he made the quarter finals of french though last year So two years ago fourth round last year so Mehdi on clay is not the worst So wait last year in yeah, I don't think Rome Rome is probably Going to be Mehdi's worst event forever. I don't think he lost the carrot in the second round two years ago Last year two years ago in Madrid. He lost He lost in the third round to garen again a clay court guy B for quina though in the second round so good winner get for quina, but Yeah, I think mevvedev in Rome. It's probably never gonna happen Monte Carlo though, you know, he made a semi-final a few years ago hasn't played there since 2019 So good memories last time he played Um, but does mevvedev take this is this is oh no, this is now. I'm worried now that I think it out loud Now I'm worried Now that I'm worried. I think mevvedev doesn't play Monte Carlo Which I think is such a bad idea, but then again, he's played a lot so I can understand but I think Mehdi might pull out of Monte Carlo Because he needs a rest exactly And I don't I want him to play more. I don't want him to pull out of Monte Carlo Even though I can understand if he did Because a week off after all the stuff you've done I just feel like going to Madrid when everyone else has got clay court tennis under their belt. It's a bad idea I think he needs to play. You know what mevvedev should do You go and play Go play that. Um, and maybe he is doing this. Let me check the uh the uh entry list Skip Monte Carlo, right Get some rest Go play the 250 event in Bosnia. The Djokovic is playing Because you'll be the second seed Or the third seed he's not playing Unfortunately, it's Djokovic rublev, but you go get a wild card into that event. They'll take you, you know Play a 250 event because I'll tell you here's the list of players, right? You've got Lehechka You've got grixborg, kechmenovic, chorich, rublev Djokovic is the seeds But the unseeded players you can get some good matches against guys like Um, you know stand for wrinker, right? You could play him on clay. See what that feels like You can play against uh, jera who's been pretty good on clay Uh, Veralis Uh, Finini, you know some good matches there for mevvedev, maybe I wouldn't mind that but unfortunately, um Well, actually no, he's in Barcelona. Sorry. He's on the entry list for Barcelona. That is interesting I think he pulls out of Monte Carlo though As much as I don't want that to be the case. I think he does He's playing Barcelona. So he ain't playing he should go play that 250 event though Instead Take that back Hey, thank you Peter for the five appreciate that. Thank you. But yeah, it's He's not uh All right chat you tell me You tell me chat does mevvedev play Monte Carlo. I'm saying Unlikely I think he pulls out of Monte Carlo because that's happened in a week So I'm gonna say mevvedev out of Monte Carlo Plays Barcelona Madrid Rome French Open What do you reckon? Update your head-to-head thing You mean right now while we're live while we're talking you want me to stop for 10 minutes and make a graphic In silent. What do you mean change it? I'll update it next time they play. All right. Just chill um Lucky loser would replace mevvedev. No, so if mevvedev pulls out before the draw They'll just shuffle the draw But if he pulls out after the draw comes out, then a lucky loser might replace him Uh, probably not. Okay. No, no, no Kyrus mevvedev on clay. Yeah Yeah rest for paris Alchors will win Monte Carlo Alchors doesn't play well in Monte Carlo yet No, no, I want mevvedev to play in Monte Carlo. I want everyone to play Monte Carlo, but um Because Monte Carlo is the next big tournament if you don't know what's going on Well, I thank you Perry for becoming a member. Appreciate that. Welcome um Monte Carlo is the is basically the big next big event that we're going to cover next week Like I said, there's not much to watch go on a go on a holiday go for a week off go get you know go go Go live your life and then come back and you know Um, I was going to say poop socket, but I feel like that's really gross. Um, yeah, basically just uh Change yourself to the couch for the next six weeks. So have get out and touch grass next week come back and um, you know, um Yeah, live like a live like a lockdown. Um But that's what I'm doing. Anyway, uh next week. I'm going to go breathe fresh air and then I'm going to sit here in this dungeon that I call it studio And uh Call tennis for seven weeks Or 10 weeks in a row um Lost my train of thought with the poop sock comment. Um Anyways, oh, yeah, this is what I think's gonna happen next week I feel like I'm gonna have to make a video about Nadal withdrawing from Monte Carlo I feel like I'm gonna have to make a video about never pulling out too Um, I think both those guys don't play next week. I think never never needs rest. He's played so much tennis lately I feel like John Nadal Uh, he's he's he's given out vibes that he's not Feeling like he's going to be ready in time. Maybe he's just trying to throw up the competition But I feel like Nadal is saying that he's not a hundred percent. So he won't come back until he is I also didn't play Monte Carlo last year. So he doesn't need to need to play that um So I feel like those two guys won't play and I hope I'm wrong Because I would love to see a full list for the first time in I don't remember the last time We had a full list of players at a master's 1000. Maybe um Maybe last year and no Madrid didn't Made it in play last year in in the in the master's. So yeah, I I don't know No, no, no, Nadal hasn't withdrawn. He's saying that he's a little bit He's not he might not be playing Monte Carlo. He's like, I don't know if I'll be ready for Monte Carlo Which is not good because never never I mean Nadal doesn't throw out Lies, you know, he doesn't in fact the other way around people usually say I'll be great. I'll be great. And then they pull out last minute. Whereas Nadal saying I don't know if I'll be ready for Monte Carlo. I'm a little worried about it Makes me think that He's thinking of pulling out kind of warning us like don't be surprised when I withdraw And like I said didn't play last year. So we won't need to play it for points You know, you can play uh barcelona instead At least that's what I think I read from a cryptic cryptic message I would not be surprised when Nadal retires. I mean, I didn't say that but It's a little that's a little there's a big jump between not playing next week and retiring from the sport but okay um Where's that guy who Two weeks ago was confirmed 30 slams by See, this is what happens This is what happens and I hope some I hope I'm the voice of reason so Alcarez beats a couple of players and then the Alcarez fans and I love their passion they come out and they say He's gonna win 30 slams And then that rubs people up the wrong way because they're like oh 30 slams No, he's not as good as raffa on jokovic jokovic is better than this guy. I don't like this guy and then The next week he loses and the guys the people that were grumbling and I don't like this They come out and they're like Where's your boy now? And it's like Can't we all just get along? It's a sport. It's a game. It's not it's not a real life. It's not real life You know what I mean? It happens with everybody. It doesn't just happen with that that's a joy. It happens with everybody Yeah, the internet tough guys. Yeah, I don't like this guy. I don't lie. He lost a sinner I lost a sinner. Where's your 30 slams? Ha ha ha. I shut the hell up everybody Let's just enjoy the matches Yeah, there's like this many people That do that. It's like a small percentage, but It's just funny um And hopefully I'm the voice of reason. So whenever someone comes in and goes, oh can elkers win 500 slams? I'm like, uh probably not 500 maybe five And then if he wins more, let's get excited about it, but Hopefully I can be a voice of reason at times when people get a little out of control Elkers might not play Monte Carlo like last year No, um But you know elkers played Monte Carlo last year. He lost a quarter, right? He lost a quarter. Yeah, actually. Yeah, maybe 499 maybe maybe Ha ha People talk more about elkers is success more than meddies this year, but that's because elkers is more exciting So people are going to talk about The player that makes that does the crazy things like And this is not mevvedev's fault. It's just it's just how it is. So Think of it like this chat The reason why elkers is more popular than mevvedev Is because he hits ridiculous shots those shots get clipped And posted on social media. So everyone gets exposed to elkers more because he does more ridiculous things So then a lot of people root for elkers more because they're they he's more exciting And they've seen a lot more of him mevvedev doesn't do ridiculous things like elkers. So he doesn't get the exposure Even though he wins more Even though right now he's on a better. He's you know, he's won four out of five trophies in a row but unfortunately If you hit a crazy highlight shot, you're going to get way more Press than if you just win four out of five trophies If you're lifting trophies people are cool whatever If you hit a ridiculous shot like elkers does everyone's going to lose that freaking mind. So like That's just how it works, you know, and that's why elkers is More known than mevvedev even though mevvedev's been around for years Even sinna like sinna is not as well known Even though he's being touted as like before elkers came on the next big thing But it's just because he doesn't He doesn't hit ridiculous shots every day like elkers does And again, you know, you can't really show a highlight as someone hitting the ball in the net After a 30-shot rally or maybe you can but it's not as interesting as uh elkers ridiculous, you know between uh, blah blah whatever um Elkers just started many has been around for long exactly. Well, that's what I'm saying, you know that maybe it has been around for years, but still You know, it doesn't get as much love as uh elkers and look and I No, I I'm probably guilty of that too You know watching elkers more because I know that we're going to get something interesting whereas mevvedev in the first round of this tournament we didn't watch him because We knew what he was going to do just grind the points win the win the rallies and win the match Whereas elkers even if he beats someone six love six love He's going to hit some ridiculous shots. So the excitement's there. So I'm I'm guilty of that too Why do people call Carlos Carlitos? Uh, because that's just a nickname. I think Why does anyone call anyone anything? I mean people call me dickhead and um, I don't know why um, it's just a nickname Just obviously jokes. Um, I take I take it too personal I don't cry that much in the shower Uh It is a la it is amazing how mevvedev is uh, when he wins how amazing he nice he is when he wins Mevvedev nice when he loses too. I mean, we lost the elk grass. He was making jokes, you know, so it made me It's great What's my prediction of Monte Carlo? Sidney pass Sidney pass three Pete. I want to see a Sidney pass three Pete Is it going to happen? Probably not So I'll pick Djokovic because I am boring Thanks for the commentary. No worries. Diane appreciate it Uh, can win okay. Medi win five slams Let's do the math Medi's what 27 Let's say he plays conservative number. Let's say he plays until 2033 right conservative. Let's say 33 There's not everyone plays or 40 Let's say he retires at 33 six years In six years, you've got four slams six fours of 24 quick math and then You take out the french opens because he ain't going to win that Is he going to win Wimbledon? Let's say no for the sake of argument. So he's got two slams per year. So that halves his chances Of winning slams right Australian open us open So he's got one slam already He's got 12 legit chances of winning over the next six years US open Australian open. Let's say he wins half of those He can win seven He could win five So the answer is yes. He could win five, but That's not factoring in Everybody else. So jokovic at the Australian open is untouchable So maybe dev's gonna have to wait till he moves aside maybe To take the Australian open So that kind of calc eliminates the next three years because jokovic ain't going nowhere So let's say jokovic takes the Australian open for three years That's three less titles for medi Alchrist might become the us open king. Some people think that after one, but hey It's a long season. Um I think if medvedev won three to five that would be More realistic three or five because how does he beat alchrist in slams if he's alchrist I just don't think alchrist beat loses to medvedev unless he has about a day um, so i'm gonna say Medi wins three to five five plus No alchrist could win five plus, but he's also got eight years extra on medvedev That makes sense What do you reckon chat? How many how many grand slams is medvedev gonna win? Now that i've just told you all of that if it makes any maybe two Now, but i think medvedev's better than two. I think he wins one australian open and one more us open minimum One like he's gonna win an ozzy open eventually jokovic should have to leave maybe But i think he wins a us open again. He goes two us opens and an australian open maybe a fourth one and a fifth one if You know maybe this year right he could be in this year's us open Medi if he plays like this right and doesn't play alchrist By the way, uh, thank you all for joining, uh, the betting as well. I have picked I press the button and now you have won medvedev fans have won Three to four. Yeah six I feel like medi winning more than more than five Means that something happened to alcarazos, you know something happened to the younger generation like injuries I feel like he's gonna have to Especially he's only getting older, right? This might be medi's peak. We don't know We don't know if medvedev's in the prime and he only you know, he he retires at 32 because he's You know, he's he's 27. It's not like if he's 22 then maybe more but um I don't know By the way, winning three slams is not like oh man, that was terrible. It's like a lot of players have won less That have been just as good Um I'll tell you where that puts him in the realm, right? So again, I love doing this because it makes so much it makes it like you know Especially when people come in and say this person's gonna win 500 slams. You're like That's some that's about that's a big number like what do you mean? um So open era right three slams puts you in the realm of Arthur ash stanford brinker andy murray gastavo quote and one codus is medvedev in their In their league. Yeah, I would say that meddie, you know murray should have more but I would say medvedev If he won three slams You know had to play the goats in most of them. So stanford brinker had that problem got three slams Yeah, four slams puts you in there with uh vlas jim courier and ken rosewell, I think you know Four, you know medvedev and courier, you know, I I feel like if they were on the same level you'd be like, yeah, that makes sense Then we start getting the serious shit Rod labor won five in the open era john newcombe won five in the open era uh six Boris becker and edberg won six valander and mackin row 17 agacy conners and lendel won eight now as medvedev in the eight bracket no agacy lendel conners could win on multiple surfaces valander Multiple surfaces becker and edberg, you know grass hardcore. I don't think medvedev's there yet. If you're only a hardcore king You're probably going to be capped off at maybe five um Because all those guys above five You know becker edberg valander. I mean we're talking about all timers, right? um They could play on grass. They could play on clay. They could play on hard courts um, so I feel like We don't know about medvedev's on grass, right at this stage if you win if you get play if he wins wimbledon, maybe but They won't give him a chance last year, right, but I I just think if you're only going to be able to play on hard courts, you're only going to win two slams a year maximum and us open's very competitive medican win would be look. I thought last year medvedev Before he got banned. Oh, they you know the Russians got banned. I thought medvedev at wimbledon would be a surprise You know, I thought okay. Well, he's played, you know made a bunch of finals before Wimbledon and unfortunately didn't get to play A medvedev, you know took her almost took her catch out in 21 would have played fedora That would have been funny to watch fedora versus medvedev on grass in a semi-final. That would have been interesting So I think medvedev's grass court skills are I mean his game is he's good for grass But does he win wimbledon? I mean does anyone else win wimbledon except for jokovic? I don't know. Anyway, it's good discussion um Yeah, jokovic still 35 and if he plays for five more years, that means medvedev will be 32 By the time jokovic retires, which means I mean when as long as the goats are around Slams are you're lucky to get one, right? Despite Murray's recent success, would you have would you say he is a better on hardcore overall than jokovic? Uh, no 100% no um Murray better than jokovic on hardcore no jokovic is the best hardcore player of all time There's no Murray is not If you say grass Maybe we could make an argument, but No way Murray on hardcore against jokovic Well, no Murray Murray and jokovic comparing hardcore tennis no chance Even if Murray wasn't injured you can go back to like pre 2018 And it still is easily Oh, you said meddy. Oh, you said meddy. Sorry. I thought you said murray. Okay Still no Still no Still still jokovic I mean jokovic versus medvedev on hardcore But yeah medvedev on their last match But I would still back um jokovic should win that match more than like he's won so many of those matches, hasn't he? Let me check what is the record on hardcourts between these two guys um so Kind of crazy. They've never played on any other surface jokovic and meddy so um Yeah, jokovic is one nine out of and five from medvedev But um, yeah medvedev won medvedev wins a hardcore match against jokovic every couple of years. It seems Like he started actually sorry, they played an esports once that's crazy. Oh, they played a modicala. Am I bad? Sorry, I forgot about that didn't upload so they played on they played on two Two two matches on different outside of hardcore. So what is it seven so eight? eight four on hardcourts Four and three on outdoor hardcourts four and one on indoor hardcourts in favor of jokovic So I guess indoor hardcourts jokovic wins outdoor hardcourts is 50 50 But no Again jokovic still wins when they play on hardcore more than not more more times than he's lost That could change over the next five years, you know jokovic gets older medvedev still you know in his prime but Yeah, jokovic shows signs of weakness when they last played it looks tired and ill. Yeah, but you got to remember jokovic was coming off a very long and mentally draining australian open um Yeah, it's fine. It's interesting because look and this happens to everyone who happens to me too um We all kind of go all that match medvedev won that match or you know with elk res for example Oh, that guy that happened in this match, you know sinabit elk res blah blah blah But you've got to remember what happened before that You know if you just kind of look at that match isolate that match You're like, yeah medvedev that day beat jokovic But you've got to factor in all the things that happened the month before Like how do we get to that match did jokovic have you know a three week vacation? No He played you know a lot But remember jokovic one out of eight got injured played the australian open injured for the entire event won that Had about two weeks off came back played in uh Where was it played to buy After not playing for a few weeks Semi is still semi injured, but medvedev in the meantime had gone away and won a couple of tournaments So while jokovic was resting Medi was getting confidence and then by the time they played Medi Medi was medi, you know medi was back to that 2021 medi, right Whereas if they'd played at the start maybe in rotterdam before medvedev started winning that might have been where jokovic would have got him Also outdoor hard courts is the best hard court for medvedev against jokovic apparently from what we've seen Indoor hard courts would have been different, but yeah But if you isolate that one match and say oh medvedev Yeah, that that day medvedev got him. Remember what happened in adelaide? What three two months before it was outdoor hard courts Jokovic was hurt and medvedev got destroyed so You just got I feel like a little bit of we got to add a little bit of round what happened around that match not just the match yourself But look medvedev has a great chance uh to prove that He is as good as jokovic on hard court Consistently at the end of the year when he plays him at the u.s. Open for the first time since 21 Or at least the first u.s. Open that jokovic could play Um Nole has won 13 hard court grand slams true. I mean look if you're gonna If you're gonna compare medvedev and jokovic That way it's gonna be very uh favorable for nole The big picture is that jokovic gets injured more than now than before. Yeah. Well, that's I mean that's what it's 35 It happens, you know name a player Name any player over at this age that hasn't had an injury You know look at the and we just go through the big four, right? Nadal has had injury His whole career federa started getting hurt a lot more 35 to 40 Right the knee problem started coming into effect. Uh murray's been injured since he was 30 So jokovic getting injuries at 35 is kind of normal. I mean that's because you're not supposed to play at 35 like Well, most players have retired, you know by now um Sampras didn't play till 30 he finished at like 32 33 Agassi I remember agassi played until like 35 And if you read his book, I think he had to have like injections in his back just to be on court at 35 So the fact that these guys are doing this at 35 is crazy But no one even gas gay, you know all those kind of guys No one is is 100 physical at 35 You know It is called aging exactly But jokovic out of all the guys has been less injured Lately than those guys like those guys that had serious injuries jokovic has been lucky enough to kind of not have Like he had an elbow injury and you know, he's had um The hamstring problem and stuff but to have like not have like a major knee injury or a major You know shoulder problem Yeah, the show then again. He didn't have shoulder issues, didn't he but to have like a an injury that kind of You know Like a murray problem right the hip problem, right? It's going to be a constant the dial constantly out because of Leg injuries, right? Federer had the knee jokovic hasn't had any of those things No, hopefully he doesn't but 35 it's more likely you will He turns 36 this year. Yeah, exactly. So it's not like he's getting any younger, right? I mean who is I don't believe Anonymous Thank you for the five appreciate that Anonymous thank you for two great commentary Do you think all karas playing tommy and then having to play center back to back affected him Was surprised. He started cramping Jokovic beat meddy four times in a row before dubai. Thank you for that. Yeah true Um, thank you for the donations Um, well alkre's played paul fritz and then sinner I don't think or the fritz match. He barely He barely looked like he didn't look like he was sore there Paul didn't really grind him down Like he didn't really there's no match that we look at and you go oh that match hurt alkre's and that's why he lost a sinner Or that's why he cramped against sinner I think it just happened because he played indian wells won that And all of the build up and remember alkre's played Just like medvedevs played, you know alkre's did have one week off because he pulled out a capocco, but he had played What was it? Um, he won argentina. He then once went to the rio final Then he won indian wells and then got to miami semifinals and I think all of that From not playing for six months like for three months before That build up probably just you know, it was just too much This couldn't push himself that extra mile, but then also sinner had the same problem, right? Sinner came into the final today and it was like Then he started fatiguing. So, you know these 19 21 year olds Just you know, they're playing a lot because they you know want to you know, beat everything and whatever but Medvedev who's played just as much as those guys Hasn't looked physically out of it at all. So it's just just maybe an age thing and they'll just get their bodies will get there with time I mean there's not too many players That I can think of That are sort of over the 25 in the top 10 that cramp A lot like Medvedev's had cramping issues actually before but I haven't seen him cramp lately But it seems like cramping comes with a young is like a young like runa right runa cramps up draper cramps up We've seen elkre's cramp up, you know all these young guys that sort of go the distance for the first time Or you know playing week in week out Or day in day out playing high levels high ranked opponents and they cramp. So probably, you know, again Not too many players I can think of In the top 10 that are over 25 have the same problem runa doesn't cramp Medvedev cramps sometimes since he passed. I don't think cramps. We haven't seen him cramp Rubelev doesn't cramp Jockovish, we haven't seen him cramping up, you know, it seems like it might be just a young thing You know, he'll get there. He'll get over it With fruit whatever nutrition or conditioning or whatever What was the question? No, I don't think tommy paul playing tommy paul was the reason why he cramped. Um Just think it was the conditions and just being 19, you know Also elkre's did and also sinna did in that first set Remember that first set it was ridiculous. They were they basically just put everything out like they That first set was like a one set One set win right kind of thing, you know, it's like a what is it like a one set? shoot out And they just put it out all out on the table and then by the second set they were like Shit, we're gonna do this again Like it's almost like they went all out in that first set and they wasted all their gas Now both guys both guys Uh, it was the first time I saw a colitis cramp. Yeah me too. I mean that's what I said I think I said at the start of that match I think the conditioning elkre's will will win that battle, but Yeah, I like I've never seen elkre's cramp, but then again, you know It just shows that he's got a little more work to do. He's not quite Because look if elkre hasn't played mevvedev today With the cramping issue I mean that would give mevvedev a massive chance right because if elkre's can't run and can't get uh You know get those shots that we used to see him get then mevvedev has a better chance Still think elkre's were a beat mevvedev, but You don't like elkre's I'm sorry. Hi. Are you new here? You must be new. Welcome to the channel Uh, no updates on rafa. All I know is that he's playing on he's warming up on clay Well, wait for the person that said you don't like elkre's. Well, you know, well, you don't like, uh You don't like rafa. I know nothing about you, but I'm just gonna assume Well, you don't like rafa because I'm just gonna guess like you did Because I don't know you um We ended Mars. Um Gilgrace said something off court might have had been the reason what for sinna or elkre's Uh posposal said he's cramped his whole career. Well, that's what that's why I said, um, that's why I was saying nina That's what I was saying nina like Over 25, you know, sorry. Uh top top players You know posposal is a good player, but he's not like top 10, right? Look the top top players don't seem to get cramps Unless they're in like a six hour match, right? When people like, you know train for seven or five hours like five hour matches, right? Um, so posposal dealing with crampy's whole career. Yeah, okay, but yeah, there's a little difference. I think Experience helped meddy win. Yeah, I think confidence made meddy had confidence Meddy probably saw the fact that he wasn't playing elkre's helped as well Like, you know, I think that would have a lot of things Is elkre's favorite for the french? No Not after it. He shouldn't be he shouldn't be the favorite. He was the favorite. I think for like a day, but I don't think he should be favorite You think elkre's the favorite for the french chat I don't think so. He is apparently, but he's not He shouldn't be the only reason he's the favorite Is because he won clay court tournaments and the other guys have had a chance You know, we haven't seen jokobitch on clay nadal scissi pass You know, uh rude, you know, we haven't seen them on clay whereas we have seen elkre That's the only advantage was that we've seen him win A clay court tournament when no one else was playing clay in february No way it should be it should go jokobitch nadal elkre's scissi pass because And this goes straight into what we're just saying with cramping If elkre's is cramping on a hard court in a second set What about a fit set against jokobitch? Do you think he beats him? No Not a five setter in jokobitch on clay or nadal on clay If elkre's his body's breaking down now, what happens in a five setter? So I I don't I don't think elkre's the favorite for the french. He shouldn't be because five sets is totally different He does have a chance He for sure can win the french if elkre's won the french would I be surprised? No But he shouldn't be the favorite He should be uh, at least third the goats should be the favorite I mean when was the last time a random person on the french opened? stan verbrenco That's it Or like random outside of the big three. I should say that's a bit harsh Stan's not random I guess you want to slam at 36 feather at 37 Two oldest mates to do so that I think that's correct time for no back yet Yeah, look no backs gonna win another slam obviously Yeah, I think that's obvious right jokobitch didn't win another slam for the rest of his career That would be the biggest shock ever it means it's something it means he got injured That's the only thing stopping him. He's getting injured. I would love to see verbrenco taken on elkre's of the french That's a match. I would love to see Elkre's verbrenco french open Obviously ruiner versus elk verbrenco. That's great. But I want to see elkre's versus verbrenco. Maybe not the french Just on clay just on clay. I want to see that that on clay court verbrenco elkre's That would be epic Because if you can beat out if you can beat verbrenco in five sets on a clay court That's a good preparation for playing, you know, the bigger the big boys They've never played before that's crazy I actually don't want to slam it 36. Yeah Who wrote that? I don't think yeah I want step versus elkre's the french that is epic too That is very fun By the way, mevredev is in the top four now. No, no, no a little root is no longer in top four. Yep mevredev with that win Is into the top five, right? He's number four in the world, right? So it goes jokovish elkre's city pass mevredev How is the match exciting? What this match? There you go. Sean says agacy was 32 and he won his last slam. There you go. Yeah, agacy retired at 36, right? Well, maybe he played his last slam at 36. Is that what the person was saying in the chat? Which wca player wins the u.s. Open? Um Uh No idea No idea Some random When was the last time we had back-to-back u.s. Open champions on the wca? Serious question. I have no idea when was the last time we had to defend like back-to-back champs at the u.s. Open because fjontek winning is like At well She could win back-to-back, but I think at this stage Probably serena, right? I mean serena is the only player I could think of that would have Won back-to-back recently uh, yeah serena back in 1314 since then it's been One so 10 years serena won three in a row classes won two in a row When in the u.s. Open back-to-back is not something people do Venus won two in a row back in 2000s Steffi Monica cellis never had a loa Wow, chris ebbett Billie Jean king mogret court that's a very That's a very interesting club To be a part of So fjontek went back-to-back this year At the u.s. Open She would become One of those all-time greats. I mean that's something just like the win in the sunshine double is rare winning the us 7 twice in a row is rare Serena King classes Venus Steffi Steffi did it twice, which uh Don't think anyone else has done Uh, no martina did it twice chris ebbett Billie Jean king and then never had a loa and Monica cellis So only a few people have done that so since 2014 when serena went back a three-peat almost four-peat Uh, you had panetta kerba Stevens osaka on dress you osaka uh, rhodocana and shfiantex so The odds are stacked against fjontek if she's gonna win the u.s. Open back-to-back And she said she struggled last year at the u.s. Open. She was kind of surprised. She won it. So you think well Is that this is that the one that She got away with is that the lucky one? Is that her lucky slam? You know, she won the u.s. Open and maybe she never wins it again. I don't know But she says you don't I mean sabalank is only getting better. We're back and is here You know those two players on a hard court fast hard court against fjontek. I would back so Yeah, or everyone at four times in a row. There you go. Thank you. Curtis. Yeah Last time u.s. Open was defended on the men's side It rarely happens as well 2008. Well, that's the thing winning the u.s. Open is the hardest like I know the french opens the hardest slam because of Like like that two weeks you have to grind And long rallies and long matches but the u.s. Open might be the hardest slam to win consecutively because I mean By the end of the season everyone's tired You know, it's it's if the u.s. Open was played in january probably more more obvious But because it was played in august And we've gone through all of the crap or like all the season um That might be the hardest slam to win the u.s. Open So who's going to be number one in the atp tomorrow know about jokovic Yes, we will be covering stucco Of course, it's a huge event wta u.s. Open does get a lot of random wins. Yeah, that's because uh It is a hard slam to win federa did win five in a row At the u.s. Open you are correct Which makes it look so much more impressive now that we uh, you know Now that uh, how things have panned out since That no one can win two in a row At the u.s. Open when was the last time? Was that the last time we had consecutive champions at the u.s Yes, so federa won five in a row, but even before federa Samper's won two in a row uh edberg lendl Connors mackin row Um, it didn't happen very often Um, winning the u.s. Open back to back, you know, it's not It's not, I mean three pete for lendl three pete for mack Connors went back to back edberg samper's went back to back rafter went back to back And then five pete for uh fed, but yeah, jokovic is never won two years opens in a row Rafters never won two in a row to potro Murray verenka chilech Team evadev al-karas. Yeah, u.s. Open is the hardest To win consecutively So al-karas is again just like shriantek al-karas Trying to go back to back is it's gonna be tough. You know, not many players do I miss samper's second serve aces. He did that so often. Yeah That guy was a scary man a scary serve Fed almost could do a six pete. He nearly did which would have been a record Because I think there's only five players That have uh, sorry three players that have won the u.s. Open five times, right? Federer samper's and um Someone in the Amateur era maybe I think Maybe maybe not Maybe I made that up um Yeah in the open era conas conas samper's federer the only players win five Rafter with four jokovic with three Mackenor with four So yeah federer would have been the only player win the us open six times in the open era, but unfortunately just missed out Uh could almost did eight in a row Yeah, no, I think after 2009 he never really looked like he's gonna win that again He made a couple finals and you know nearly beat jokovic in the semis and all that stuff But I think federer is like the last time federer felt like he was felt like federer was gonna win the us open was over nine, right? Once he lost the dalpo tennis changed Because after that jokovic was you know jokovic nadal took over murray came along um Yeah, I mean look like I said federer 2009 lost after having been very close and then after that he made the final once In 2015 jokovic beat him in four So yeah, that's kind of crazy. I don't think people talk about federer's us like Like federer when he played, you know when we were going to the us open at 2019 especially People don't think about like, you know, it didn't it didn't seem like federer was ever gonna win the us open again Because it was the hardest slam to win already but um Yeah, federer made one final of the us open after that 2009 loss so It shows and he had some of these weirdest losses in grand slams at the us open federer I can garsee open the french considering a home slam um Maybe Sometimes players in front of their home crowd don't play well though. I don't know how how does garsee are playing france? Is she good in france? Or will she get a little nervous because she's playing in front of her home crowd? How miss roger? Yeah um Federer had two match points in oh in 10 and two match points in 11. Yeah, exactly. They're in the semi finals, right? And he wins those Maybe you give him but then who won the final Didn't jokovic win one ever like win one and lose one Nadal won one of those finals, right? So yeah in 2010 Yeah, 2010 and 11 it was jokovic nadal finals. It could have been jokovic could have been nadal federer finals back to back Had um had federer won those those match points and we would have actually had back-to-back finals between better and federer nadal and also jokovic might not Well, he probably would eventually but Um, yeah, would have maybe federer would have been on 22 23 slams. You know, maybe he would have had more Because I think federer nadal in a in a us of the final um Federer wins at least one of those right maybe two Not anonymous gutted for sinner was hoping this would be his chance to win a significant championship Do you think all karas can use meddys playing style against sinner? um He doesn't need to Uh, you know, that's the that's the thing He doesn't need to he's beaten sinner. Well, he literally beats in a last week Playing the same game as he played yesterday or two days ago So he doesn't need to play like mevvedev to beat sinner. He doesn't have a problem with sinner Whereas mevvedev like sinner needs to play more like alcaraz maybe when he plays mevvedev Or at least try and try things that alcaraz tries against mevvedev because this record is getting bad But I don't I don't think alcaraz needs to play any different to play sinner. He's beaten him Before and he'll beat him again and Um, yeah, it's more the other way around. I think sinner needs to learn from alcaraz when he plays mevvedev But I know sinner will get his you know, it's just being bad matchups, you know, he played her catch two years ago Maybe a little young Maybe a little bit, you know in experience and her catch, you know being a bit older was was calmer in the in the situation, but Today was just bad matchup. If he plays hashtag he probably wins. You know if he plays Anybody but mevvedev he probably wins today But against mevvedev in fact I'm gonna say it um without even researching it but I don't think sinner's got a good record against anybody. Oh, it's got a worse record Right. I think the worst record he's got is mevvedev, right? Like zero and six. I think he's beaten everybody. He's beaten sidze pass now I think it's only like one and three or maybe one and four Um, he's beaten alcaraz, you know, he's beaten uh, he hasn't beaten the goats but mevvedev is probably the worst match like Has he got a worse record against anybody else? Sinner like six and zero or zero and six. That's got to be the worst, right? Must be can quarter competing with the likes of alcaraz. Yeah. Hell, yeah. He beat alcaraz on clay Let me have a look sinner against everybody else All right, so let's go sinner sidze pass Sinner sidze pass five two in favor of sidze pass. They're not great, but still not terrible compared to meddie Alcaraz is three. It's three three Sinner versus uh, let's just go sinner versus jokovic. I'm sure that's looks bad, but it looks bad for everybody Uh, he is only two and zero against jokovic. They're not terrible hasn't played him that much Um against rafri's three and oh, so not terrible again, you know, if you play you lose to the goats No, no, nothing wrong with that against her catch. He's two and one So we got the win there against f a Against felix. He's two and zero against rude rude he is Two and zero to the good against rublev Again, I don't think he has a as a record worse than against the one against the one that he has against meddie Six and i was a bad record. I mean, that's a that's a one-sided record That's three two against rublev. That's where he's caught and that's where I'd put him Sinner right now, you know, there's levels to this game There's levels to this game Sinner is in the same tier Same level as as rublev, right? He's in that level. It's in that bracket rude's in that bracket Three one against vera by the way, um Sinner down, um There's levels to this and and I've spoken about it before, you know, you've got the goat level No one's in that level tier one is the goat level tier two. Is it the likes of alcaraz mevvedev Then you've got tier three, which is sort of the grand slam finalists guys like city pass In fact, you know what? I might actually change the tiers a little bit. I would probably put city pass alcaraz and mevvedev together Because multiple slam like you know grand slam for alcaraz world number one But multiple slam finals for city pass mevvedev's made multiple finals got one Then I would put after that I would put rude Would I put rude in the bracket of Rude's at the top of tier three because he's made the final slam, but he hasn't won a masters 1000 That's what separates him in city pass Rude rublev f a a runer and sinner and fritz all in the same bracket So tier one goats tier two mevvedev alcaraz and uh city pass and then tier three Sinner rude rublev rude FAA fritz and because when those guys all play each other, let's say tier three. Let's say we get a sinner versus FAA match. It's going to be close. Let's get a rublev sinner match going to be close fritz sinner close rublev runer close uh, you know rude fritz close alcaraz mevvedev city pass mevvedev close the goat battles close But if you put a tier one guy like an alcaraz like a tier two guy like an alcaraz up against a guy like rublev Not as close And then after that tier four is everybody else, right? Everybody else her catch nori all those guys It's very like it's very unlucky, but he's in tier four right now Uh, you know, the crinia bust. Uh, all those guys are down the charge They're all outside That's sort of how I Visualize all this so then if you pick a tier one a tier one guy and you put him up against tier four guy The tier one guys will win But with anything a bracket You get some competitive matches um And by the way, it's not like a solid list it can move depends on who's playing well at the time But it can move you can put players Down tier up to you know like mevvedev two months ago was tier four like he wasn't in the top three He wasn't in tier two You know, he wasn't playing that well, you know, so it does matter on what you're doing at the time too We're gonna be off in a minute because I need to go and uh eat because that's what I need to do. I'm hungry No worries. I feel like we're streamed out like outside of the match more It's one in the morning. Go get some sleep Uh, you should make a tier list Oh, we might do that one day We won't do that by the way It's being a tier list. Uh, we're not gonna do the rest of the tier list now We're gonna do it Because there's gonna be a rain delay on the clay. I just We won't I don't think we'll go through the clay court season without a rain delay So we're not gonna finish the tier list off this week We're gonna hang it. We're gonna keep it keep it going and then the next rain delay we have We're gonna pull that one out and we're gonna just like uh back in the day before technology You dust off the board games when it was raining and you couldn't play outside I guess when you're you know, if you're uh From the 80s I guess you would go and you would play a board game When it was raining outside because uh, there was no video games So, um, we'll do that. We'll dust off the tier list. We'll bring it back out when we have a rain delay and we can't play outside Probably at Monte Carlo. Yeah, Monte Carlo's weather is never 100% nice every every day. So maybe Monte Carlo will have a chance Thank you, Melissa Appreciate it. Uh, we don't know. We don't know if Nadal's playing um playing or not in uh in Monte Carlo But if he is That'll be epic. Yeah, exactly Rome. It could could rain in Rome. Yeah, there's Plenty of chances where it could rain in the next couple of months Um, yeah I'll do the power ranks. I'll do that. I'll do that. Uh next next week I don't need to update it now Put it going work out work it out first All right, everybody. I'll see you later. Thank you for joining us.
