 Welcome back everybody to the second semifinal of this ladies Wimbledon and we've got one finalist. Von Drussov is into the final. Now we're going to find out who she's going to play and she's going to play one of the hardest players on the planet because these two ladies are in the top 10. One won a slam this year, one made the final of two of the other slams this year. So this is going to be a battle for who gets to play against Von Drussov, who gets to be the favorite for Wimbledon. And this, I think we can all agree, is the final, possibly the winner of this is the champion. I mean the winner of this is the most likely to be the champion. But let's get the preview because these two ladies have played a bunch and they actually played an epic at the end of last year. Irina Sabalenka versus Anstjaber is the second semifinal for the ladies Wimbledon for 2023. Both ladies have been super impressive to get to this stage. Jaber entered the tournament as the number six seed and would take on Frech in the first round. This was too easy for Jaber getting through in straights, 6-3-6-3. In the second round she'd take on the qualifier bay and again, an easy win for Jaber winning in straights, 6-1-6-1. In the third round she'd take on Andrescu, former US Open champion. And after dropping the first set, Jaber would have to fight back to win 3-6-6-3-6-4 to advance to the fourth round. Fourth round she'd take on the number nine seed Kvitova because she had a bad record against losing four of their previous five matches. This time Jaber was on fire demolishing Kvitova in straights, 6-1-6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, Jaber would take on the number three seed Rabakina who she had lost to in the final of Wimbledon last year. And after dropping the first set, she would fight back to win 6-7-6-4-6-1 to advance to another Wimbledon semifinal. Sabalenka entered the tournament as the number two seed and would take on Udvadi in the first round. This is no problem getting through in straights, 6-3-6-1. In the second round she'd take on Gracheva. And after dropping the first set, she'd have to fight back to win 2-6-7-5-6-2. In the third round she'd take on Blinkova who had just taken out the number 29 seed Bogu. This is no problem for Sabalenka getting through in straights, 6-2-6-3. In the fourth round she'd take on the 21st seed Alexandrova who won a title on grass prior to Wimbledon. This is no problem for Sabalenka getting through in straights, 6-4-6-1 to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, Sabalenka would take on the number 25 seed Keys who had been on a very good run on the grass this season. This is no problem for Sabalenka getting through in straights, 6-2-6-4 to get to her fourth consecutive semifinal at a slam. These two have played four times before with Sabalenka leading the head-to-head 3-1 including a match that they played at Wimbledon two years ago where Sabalenka got the win. They also played an epic last year at the WTA Finals with Sabalenka fighting back to win that one in a third. Jabir's going to win this one. She needs to use her variety and push Sabalenka around. It works so good against Rabakina and also so good against Kovitava. She is playing another similar type in Sabalenka so she's got to take the confidence out of that and move her around. Sabalenka is going to win this one. She needs to be aggressive and just put a beat down on the serve especially. Keep her serve going. She's been serving very well this week. Played great against Keys for the most part of that match but she needs to keep that serve going and really just attack everything that Jabir's doing. This kind of feels like a final before the final. You know, the semifinal between the two big names, the two top tenors or the other semifinal has two unceded players. I'm going to go with Sabalenka to win this one. I think she's going to get in three sets. I think Jabir's been great this week but the last two opponents she's played haven't played that well and I think that Sabalenka is going to bring her own game as she has for the whole week and take it out in three but let me know down in the comments below who's making the final of the Wimbledon. Okay, we already know one player who's made the final of the Wimbledon. That is Marquette of Andrusova. She's made a second-ground same final four years ago. She made the French open final and now she's made the Wimbledon final. Beatings, Vettelina, also beat Pagool in the quarters. Jabir took out Rabakina. She was a much better player. Probably shouldn't have gone three sets. Rabakina stole the first set and then Jabir figured it out and Sabalenka took out Madison Key's straight sets but the second set was four-two down so she came back to win that second set and make it straight sets. Look, this is going to be... Jabir's played two very similar opponents to Sabalenka in the last two rounds in Cavitebar and Rabakina so she's ready for this and Sabalenka, she hasn't really played a player like Jabir yet. Not like there's not too many players like her anyway. Number six of the world on Jabir. She wins the title. She's number three. If she loses any time before that, she will stay at number six, 28-year-old from Tunisia. She's five-foot-six right-handed. 16 wins, nine losses on the year. One title to go with that. That being on Clay in Charleston at the start of the Claycourt season. Four career titles including the Wimbledon final of course of last year and a four before this tournament. It wasn't great. She made the quarter-finals of the French open. Lost that match. Probably shouldn't have lost that match. But she has won a 1,000 event. You can see there the badge. 1,000 badge winning Madrid last year. Sabalenka, the world number two. 25-year-old from Belarus. Five-eleven right-handed. 35 wins, seven losses on the year. Three titles including the Australian Open this year. She also won the title in Madrid. Beating Schwiantek, the world number one in that final. Four before the grass hasn't been good and she obviously shouldn't have lost in the semi-files of the French. We all know that match was epic. Hopefully we get something like that. Maybe not like something like what happened. Hopefully we get a three-setter. That's what I mean. But she's got the badges there with Madrid. Winning that a few times. She's also won some tournaments at 1,000 level in China and Asia. And the Australian Open badge. And after today, she wins this match. She might have a number one badge next to her name as well because former world number ones get the badge when they're being number one. And she is one win away. Is that going to affect it? We'll find out. We had last year at the WTA Finals and it was a three-set epic. One of the matches of the tournament. Sabalenka, of course, went on to make the final of the WTA Finals. Losing in Garcia in the end. Beating Schwiantek on the way. Three-one in their head-to-head. They played a Wimbledon two years ago. It was an easy win for Sabalenka. Don't expect that to happen today. I'm expecting that Jaber's going to be a lot more competitive than she was two years ago. When two years ago, she wasn't really that known. Now, two-time finalist, WTA finalist. She's top 10 for the last couple of years. Or at least the last 18 months or 12 months. So she is definitely a factor now. And it's a different person to the one that she played. Sabalenka back in 2021. Okay. Now, players are walking out. They're making a long walk all the way to the courts. But, man, this is the match that we've been waiting for. I know people... I mean, the match of the tournament so far, on paper, I guess, was Jaber versus Rebakina, because that one was the one that was like, you know, the final of last year and blah, blah, blah. But this one, it feels like the final. Like this... I mean, the way they're treating this with the whole walk-through, the corridor and cameras, you know, it does feel like the final. I mean, they're showing it as a final. It is a semi-final. But they're really just showing... They're doing what they do tomorrow, what they'll be doing on Saturday. Some guy walking backwards to the camera, down the stairs. That's impressive. Winner's going to play von Drussever. We'll find out the next couple of hours who that will be. Didn't Jaber just play yesterday? Yes. Jaber and Sabalenka played yesterday. They both played yesterday. This match, as you said, feels like the real final. Yeah, it does. You know, two top 10 players, two Grand Slam finalists of the last 12 months. Jaber made the US Open final as well. Of course, Sabalenka won the Australian Open, got the semi-finals of the French. And as I said in the preview, Sabalenka's made the last four Grand Slam finals, the semi-finals. So, you know, semi-finals of the US lost to Chviantec. Semi-finals of the Australian Open beat Lynette. Semi-finals lost to Mukova in the French. Now she's got the semi-finals against Jaber. So, again, she is the most consistent player at Grand Slam level over the last 12 months. Rabakina's serve was garbage against Onts. Well, that's the thing. And I was thinking about this this morning, or whenever I woke up at like four in the afternoon. I was thinking about this. Why is it that Rabakina and Caviteva played terrible and it was like, oh, Caviteva just played bad. But then Rabakina also played bad. And the only thing that had in common was they both played the same player. Because Rabakina wasn't playing bad until she played Onts. Does Onts make players play bad? Does she make good plays and especially big hitters? Does she drag them down a little bit in terms of... Does she drag them down to her... Not at her level, but make them play worse? Because we saw that against Caviteva. Caviteva had a 4-1 record against Onts. Onts made her look silly. Or at least, Caviteva made herself look silly. Maybe it was because of Onts. And then Rabakina. Hadn't really been tested or weak. Plays Onts. Good luck to get the first set. And really played terrible for the week. So is that what she can do? Could she drag players down and make them play worse with her variety? We'll see if Savalenka plays the worst match of her week. Because if Savalenka starts in a lot of areas, we've got to say that it's because of Jabir. Because Jabir did it against the other two. We'll find out. Exactly, we will find out. I like that description when Shriontek is going well. She does the same, making players play bad. Yeah, I mean, that's part of it. She's like a spin bowler. That's a good analogy, true. She makes opponents nervous. Well, she's got variety, right? We know about the variety. She can slice and dice and whatever, whatever. But there is a part of making, especially big hitters, right? Caviteva, Rabakina, Savalenka, they're all the same type of player. They've all got big serves. They all like to dominate the baseline. They all like to hit winners. But for some reason over the last two matches, Jabir's made those two players play the worst they've played all week, and it turned out to be a loss for them. But let's see if Savalenka also finds that she's not playing very well today because of Jabir, who's making players play bad. If Savalenka starts hitting winners, then Jabir's probably just going to have to get everything back, try and get everything back. But we'll see if Jabir's slice and dice game can take out Savalenka. Thank you, Diana, for the donation. Appreciate that. Boris? Cam Pham, since 2019-2020, keep up the lovely streams. Thank you, Boris, for the two bucks. Appreciate that. Welcome back. Thank you for sticking around for four years you've been here, or three years. That's crazy. Thank you for sticking around. Okay. Now, we've got to also talk about the Savalenka ranking because if she wins today, she's not only in the final of Wimbledon, she's also in the world number one. So she is playing for a lot more than just a final of Wimbledon. She's going to be world number one if she wins. That is going to, that's a big pressure. So that's added pressure. But she is the, and she is also the favorite in this match according to the bookies. If Vons can add it in a big serve, she'll be very hard to beat. Yeah. Well, she's not the biggest, she's not the tallest player. She's not going to have a serve like Savalenka, but Barty had a punchy serve, you know, and had a bit of a serve that had direction, kind of like Federer. So, you know, there is, it has been done. Can she just throw in Shfiantec? That's it. Savalenka's highest ranking is number two. If she wins today, she'll be number one. That's it. Savalenka's never been number one. In fact, I think when she played, when she made it to the Semi-Z last time, she was like in the top three. So she's been at number two. She fell down. She came back up, but she's never been this close to being number one in the world. Literally two sets away. Hello from Egypt. What's going on? Can't just cause both players equally. What happens now? There is no curse. I don't understand what you're saying. She burned three. Okay. Shfiantec got too many points to defend. Well, that's it. Savalenka, well, no one had any points to defend here, but Savalenka, Savalenka's got a semi-final at the U.S. to defend. So there is still points there, but Shfiantec does have points to defend post Wimbledon. Also at the U.S. Open, of course. How many sets do you think this will go? I could see a couple of things happening. I could see, I could see Savalenka demolishing Jabir because she can do that. She can get on a run. I could see Jabir slicing and dicing for a couple of hours and getting the win in three. I could see Jabir winning the first set, getting lazy in the second, and then having to play a third, which was what we have seen. We haven't seen this week, but we have seen happen before. So, I mean, there's a lot of scenarios that could happen. It kind of comes down to what is, like the thing with Jabir, right? We found this out in the last couple of matches. If her opponent plays well, there's not much she can do on grass, but when her opponents don't play well, or if she can make her opponents play poor, as we saw with Rabakina, we saw with Kovitava, then she can win. Andrescu was the only player that started strong against, against Jabir, and like hit winners and was playing really good. So, let's see how Savalenka starts. That's going to be the question. How's she going to be nervous, Lee? You know, nervous? Obviously, another final of the slam, up for grabs. She's only ever made one final of a slam. We saw what happened at the French Open when she was up 5-2 match points. She loses that match. Is that going to be playing on her mind? The World No More Ranking, up for grabs. I mean, there's a lot more pressure on Savalenka. There's a lot more at stake for Savalenka. Is that going to play a part early in this match? She's going to be more nervous. Jabir's the underdog. She doesn't, did not expect, it was not supposed to win according to the betting, or according to the prediction. So, let's see. Does Vandrisha prefer Jabir or Savalenka in the finals? Jabir, because she's beaten her twice this year already. She would prefer to play against Ants in the final. Savalenka is 17-1 at Grand Slams this year. That is incredible. That's incredible. What does she like 20, she must be like 22-2 in Grand Slams over the last 12 months, right? 22-2? I mean, it's a ridiculous record. Alright, chat. Here we are. We're going straight into it. We've got the final, semi-final, the final before the final, possibly the final. We'll find out on Saturday if this was the actual final. Let me fix the scoreboard because it's scuffed, but who's going to win this one? I've got Savalenka in three. I think she wins the first on, I think, sorry, Ants might win the first, and Savalenka fight back to win. But what do you reckon, chat? What do you think is going to happen? I've got Savalenka, 15-1. She wins the first point of this semi-final. Okay, Savalenka is the favourite. The winner of this will be the favourite for Wimbledon, so that's something as well. Do you think the winner of this will win Wimbledon? I think if the winner is Savalenka, yes. If the winner is Jaber, 50-50. Because von Drussever, I mean, last year's final, Jaber was the favourite and look what happened. Savalenka serving up a storm to start us off. 30 love. 30 love. Thank you for joining us already. Two and a half thousand people in the chat. What's going on? Don't forget to subscribe. He's going to serve now from Savalenka to the back end of Jaber. Return goes wide. Savalenka, 40 love. Huge serving to start us off here. 40 love. Close to call. Savalenka in two, you reckon. Jesus. I mean, compared to the French Open semis, if this is a straight-sets match, we have gotten robbed. We have gotten robbed because those semi-files of the French were epic. Even the semi-files of the Australian Open were better if this is a straight-sets match. All right, Savalenka 40 love. She serves in the back end of Jaber. Return goes long and it's one love, Savalenka. Like that. One minute, one game. One love, Savalenka. One love, Savalenka, first game of the match. 320 in the afternoon. Roof is still shut. The rain is still falling. The crowd is full. Emerald O'Connor is predicted on to win. Okay. Jaber with a serve. Savalenka with a nice start. Let's see what Savalenka's returns are like. As Jaber's a great serve, Savalenka returns for one half from Jaber's a winner behind Savalenka. 15 love. Nice forehand from Ontz. 15 love. Serve out wide the back end. Slice of Savalenka and Jaber in the net. 30 love. Sorry, 15-0. 15-0. Serve again is a foul. Second serve. Second serve. The return is in the net from Savalenka. First second serve returned to smack into the net. 30-15. 30-15. As we return, nope. A fault. Savalenka hit that at the roof. Smacked into the roof, I think. 30-15. Second serve. Savalenka steps in. Second serve into the back end of Savalenka. Return goes in the back end of Jaber. One half from Savalenka into the back end. Slice of Jaber into the forehand of Savalenka. Jaber with a forehand. Hand of Savalenka again to the forehand of Jaber. Savalenka with a back end of the stretch. Oh, what a pick up. Oh, it's in the net. Untatted. Would have been a massive shot. She just didn't quite get it. 30-all. It was a good pick up. She just didn't give it enough height. 30-all. Chance in the first game here as Jaber serves. A fault. Second serve. Savalenka is on the baseline. Second serve into the back end of Savalenka. Return into the back end of Jaber in the net. Savalenka with a break point. 30-40. Very fast start. Not letting Jaber breathe out there. 30-40. Served entity is a fault. Second serve. Second serve into the back end of Savalenka. And Savalenka over hits it. Just. And we get to deuce. Savalenka the one controlling the points at the moment. By the way, Savalenka has made it to four semi-finals. Savalenka only ever won one. One out of four in semi-finals. Jaber two and zero. That's good. A back end now from Savalenka in the net. It's an advantage to Jaber. So Jaber undefeated at this stage of a tournament. That was in the last 12 months. Savalenka has only got the one win at semi-final stage. We all know what happened at the French. Savalenka in the net. Good serving. Savalenka has made and won. U.S. Open. Last year she beat Garcia. 6-1-6-3. And then she won last year against Maria in three sets. She won the first. Failed to sleep in the second. Regrouped in the third. Savalenka has won one out of the four that she's played. One out of five. She won the one at the Australian Open. She beat Lynette in straight sets. She lost to Wimbledon in 2021 against Pliscava from a set up. Is it a back end or back end rally? Again from Savalenka in the back end of Jaber. Back end of Savalenka on the stretch. Into the back end of Jaber who hits a win up. Love 15. Nice from Ants. She then, she lost that semi-final against Pliscava. She was up a set. And then she lost in three. She then played against Fernandez at the U.S. Open semi-finals. Won the first, lost the second. Lost the first, won the second. Lost the third. Then of course the U.S. semifinals last year. She lost to Sviantec from a set up. And then of course Mukova at this year's French Open. She lost the first, won the second and then of course fell apart in the third. And then against Lynette. So she hasn't she has that to worry about. Savalenka now she has won a semi-final so that's something but still she's lost more than she's won. Jaber undefeated when we get to this stage. 15-0. Savalenka serves. A fault. Second serve. Second serve. Second serve into the Fondage Birgeberg hits it out on the return. 30-15. 30-15. Cam how do you know so much? Google? But also a lot of it is because we've watched a lot of those matches. Luckily these players over the last three years have been kind of prominent. So we're lucky enough to watch a lot of these. In fact, I think we'll watch all those matches as that goes in from Jaber with a lovely pass. 30-0. Unbelievable. I think we've actually, we probably would have watched we watched everything from the quarter finals onwards except for a Wimbledon because they screw us but yeah we would have watched all of those semi-finals as well so you can go back and watch re-watch the matches. All right 30-0. Jaber. Saved a break point in the first game. Sabalenka needs a serve. She serves out why the Fondage Birgeberg return goes in the back end of Sabalenka. Jaber on the stretch can't get it because it goes long. Out from Sabalenka. 30-40. You know too much. It's all I know. Tennis is all I know. All right 30-40. And how to build a building. I think that's all I know. Sabalenka back end of Jaber. Return goes in the Fondage Sabalenka. Jaber on the stretch is good. Sabalenka back end open call winner. Sabalenka with a fist bump. We get to do. Cam, you need to start wearing tennis tennis talk shirts to promote your channel. I'm not cringe. That's cringing. All right. I feel like wearing nice clothes not like the merch is nice but also like we don't have polos in the merch so either I wear a t-shirt that says tennis talk or I wear a nice I want I rather look presentable than vlog merch to you guys. You go buy the merch link in the chat. But I'm not going to, I don't want to wear merch on stream. That's it. It's cold and I wear a hoodie but even then I don't. And I serve in the back end of Jaber as we get a four end to four end rally. Jaber out of the Fondage Sabalenka who smacks it in the net. And we're back to deuce. I rather look professional than like I'm trying to sell you something, you know. Ooh. All right deuce. Sabalenka. She's trying to save the game. First getting into these points now though. That's the difference. First game Sabalenka blasted her off the court. Has been a serve now. Down the tee, the back end of Jaber, hits it in the net. Good serve Sabalenka. Needed a big serve and she gets it. Advantage Sabalenka. Sticker to stay in front. In the first set here. There's a bit of serve. Into the forehand of Jaber. Return goes to the back end. Of Sabalenka, Fondage Jaber. Again into the back end of Sabalenka. Into the forehand of Jaber. Again Sabalenka over hits it. And we get back to deuce. Does she wear whites for Wimbledon? I don't know anything that's white. I think I only wear dark colors and only own dark colors. Dark colors. I think one of my shirts for the white collar is as white as it gets. On my clothes. Now back to deuce here. Served in the tee. Here's a fold. Second serve. Second serve. Second serve into the forehand of Jaber. Return to the back end of Sabalenka. Who hits a winner. Nice shot from Sabalenka. Advantage Why are the players required to wear white and not the spectators? Because back in the day when they played in old time, old fancy times the players wore white and the people wore fancy clothes. That's why you see in the crowd a lot of people wearing suits and stuff because Wimbledon is that kind of vibe. Because back in the day the players always wore white but it wasn't a strict code for the spectators. They all wore top hats and what do ladies wear? Dresses? Anyway, Sabalenka with some good serves and she gets the lead again. 2-1. First set. Yeah, tradition. Yeah. That's why the crowd don't have to wear. There's probably a code, a dress code for Wimbledon. Then again, I rocked up in an NBA jersey. So maybe not. It might have a dress code. Maybe? I don't know. I guess it's too hard to enforce a dress code. What are you going to do? You can't come in and they'll have all these empty seats. That'd be crazy. Turning people away at the door? Nah, nah, nah. It's not a nightclub. If they let Sinner's Carrot in center court, I don't think the dress code will be a thing. Yeah. Well, I think people wearing like Jokovic shirts, so I don't think there's no dress code for the crowd. That'd be too hard to enforce. 2-1, Sabra Lincoln with the lead. It's also near impossible to get tickets for Wimbledon, but much easier for the other slams. Yeah. Wimbledon, look. Unless you want to line up at six hours, but then again, it's such an exclusive tournament to get into that if you really want to go to Wimbledon you can queue up for six hours and hope you get in. I mean, sometimes you don't get in, do you? But it's worth going to, like go to Wimbledon once, you know? I've been once and it was great. 15 love. Now I can say forever that I've been to Wimbledon. Like that's again, something that every tennis fan should try and do once. 15 love. You must get lucky and you can get tickets for every day, but I mean, if you try and open, you could literally, I could go every day. I could just walk in every day and watch it, but because there's no cap on tickets. It's like a smacks a winner down the line. And it's 15 all. Cam at the U.S. Open 23. I don't have enough. It's too expensive to get to the U.S. from Australia. Let me find out how much a ticket costs. Melbourne to New York. You know, it's back in Slice in the Line. It's a lovely volley winner. 30-15. $2,100. It cost me like two and a half grand to get to America. Is that return? Oh, that's return. Okay. 1500 one way. I can't afford that. All right. 40-15. Good serving. If I'm going to America, I'm going to have to stay there for like three months to make it worthwhile. Make it worth the while. Going to the U.S. Open for a three grand return trip. I don't think I can justify that to my to my accountant. Double fold from Jabir. Maybe I could be, maybe it's a business expense. Travel expense. Business. It's for business. It's a business holiday. Does that count? 40-30. Is it going to be taxed off the move? Maybe I'll ask why. I'll be like, hey, I'm going to work for business. Can I charge tickets to the tennis? Is that all right? Anyways, 2-2. I don't think that's how it works, chat. Okay. 2-2. Jabir levels. If I stream there, it is. Maybe. I'm not going this year. I just don't have the time. Maybe next year. All right. Let's have a look at what the serve. Now, why did Jabir return the net? 15 love. What went wrong with Svetlana? Just a poor matchup. 15 love. Your hair looks different today. That's weird. Maybe it's because it's sideways. That would be different. Next year in the U.S., I don't know. Maybe. I hadn't thought about it. 15 love. Sabalanke is serving. She tries to level this up. 15 love. I found it on Instagram about what was that? 15 love. Sabalanke serves a let on the first serve. Sabalanke serves again. How wide great serve. Jabir gets it back. Sabalanke goes down the line. Backhand slice from Jabir. Sabalanke with the forehand. Here's a winner down the line. 15-30. Sabalanke's power of Sabalanke. 15-30. Please don't spam. Please don't spam. Like the video, just don't spam. Please don't spam. 15-30. Sabalanke serves under pressure again. She serves a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Sabalanke. Into the backhand of Jabir. Return the backhand of Sabalanke. Jabir with the forehand. Sabalanke again to the forehand of Jabir. Sabalanke backhand on the stretch. Goes down the line along. 15-40. And Jabir is just playing smart. She's just weathering the power. And not trying to go over anything silly. 15-40. Sabalanke's over hitting. 15-40. Break points against the Sabalanke serve. Sabalanke with a serve. Down the tee to the backhand of Jabir. Return goes into the forehand of Sabalanke. Geez, Sabalanke smacked that away. 30-40. What a winner from Sabalanke, Jesus. 30-40. 20 minutes into this first set. Still a break point here for Ornce. 30-40. Serbence hit the forehand of Jabir. Jabir gets it back. Slice from Sabalanke. Jabir gets it with a slice backhand wide. That's smart from Sabalanke. To hit the drop shot. 12 months ago, she probably would have hit... ...tried to hit a winner off that. The forehand and just smack it in the net. That was smart from Sabalanke. The little drop shot flick. Maybe that clay court tennis that she learned at the French opens coming through. A little bit of... I mean, hitting it against the Jabir as well. Smart little shot that Jabir would have probably hit. Deuce. Sabalanke serves again. Now, why that's an ace? Bang! The first ace of the day. Advantage Sabalanke to get back in front. More desperation than smart. Like I said, Sabalanke would have tried to hit that as hard as possible. Probably 12... 18 months ago. The fact that she had the mind to think about I'm going to hit a drop shot off this, or at least I'm going to hit it short. I mean, it wasn't... by accident. She got there in time to think about what to do. Advantage Sabalanke, second serve. It shows how Sabalanke has grown as a player. That one shot. The forehand of Jabir, return goes long. No, it goes in to the forehand of Sabalanke. Backhand of Jabir, that goes into the corner. Sabalanke just watched it. Back to Deuce. A strange... Sabalanke just almost, like, dropped a racket. Gave up on the point. What a shot. Right in the corner. Sabalanke rolls her eyes. She knows. That was a silly shot to leave. Sabalanke with a serve. Down the tee. Great serve. Jabir gets back. It's a winner. Nice work from Sabalanke. It throws the hammer. Advantage. It's so funny, because Sabalanke has only hit one ace. And look how many points... She's got a lot of first serves in Sabalanke, but she's not getting three points. Unless she can hit that forehand for a winner, which she did then. But Jabir is getting so many more serves back than what Sabalanke is used to getting against some of these opponents. That's going to be something interesting to keep an eye on. How many aces can Sabalanke hit today? We're going to get a challenge of him, Sabalanke. If it's in, it's an ace. If it's not, it's a second serve. And it didn't look like it. Chalk flew up, and Chalk did not fly up. It was wide. Second serve. Second serve, Sabalanke. Into the backhand of Jabir. Return. Backhand Sabalanke hits it in the net. And we're back at Deuce. Not able to get three points like she's used to. But we did talk about at the start of the stream how Ons made both Kvitova and Rabak going to play worse than they usually play. Part of that is because she gets everything back. She makes you hit two, three, four extra shots after hitting a really good winner. And the same thing on the serve. I mean, Sabalanke is going to probably overhit some serves because she's trying to hit the ace so bad and against Ons and she doesn't hit one ace in the first three games. And that serve was a false. Second serve. It's good to the front of Jabir. Jabir hits it out. Great second serve. That was a massive second serve. Vantage Sabalanke. But again, there's going to be something that we saw in the last two matches with Jabir. She just frustrates her opponent. It's a 106 mile an hour second serve of Sabalanke. First serve again. Out wide the back end of Jabir. Return the back end slice of Sabalanke in the net. And again Jabir gets the first serve back. Douce. Douce again. Can Sabalanke stay in front? Serve. Out wide the 400 Jabir. Return goes in. The 400 Sabalanke smacks a winner. And that's the perfect play. And she's going to have to do that a lot, Sabalanke. Return and then forehand winners or backhand winners. Because once is getting everything back. Not just, she's not just getting it back though. She's getting over like, you know, she's not just getting the racket, she's getting it back into play. She's forcing Sabalanke to hit an extra shot. Serve. There's a fault. Second serve again. Under the roof by the way. This matches under covers. Second serve. Out wide. Good second serve. Jabir gets a drop shot back. Sabalanke backhand down the line to winner though. And Sabalanke gets the lead again. Saves a break point. And three, two in the first. But man, that was a tough game. Four for that one. Over 4,000 people here, thank you for joining us. We're almost at 50 likes as well. 500 likes as well. 50. 500 likes as well. I appreciate that. I'm going to keep saying, I'm going to broken record. Jabir made that happen. Jabir is the reason why Sabalanke is making those errors happen. She's forcing those errors. The score is three, two. Three, two. First set. Okay. If a lob hits the roof, is it in play? No. If the lob hits the roof, it is dead ball, which means you lose the point. Hey, Boris, I hope so, mate. That would be really cool. I mean, we're almost at 146 and a half. So that's cool. WTAL away. WTA is on fire. Tomorrow's matches are pretty epic too. I mean, I feel like Medvedev Elkrez is going to do the banger that we all want it to be. And I think Sinner is going to get a set off Djokovic, but maybe not quite there yet. But I'm excited about Elkrez versus Medi. It's going to be a five setter. It's going to be a banger. Sabalenka with the hammer, that's it. Lady Thorin, full effect. Three, two. It goes in. Sabalenka with a lob. Here's a winner. Nice. Again from Sabalenka, lovely lob. Love 15. Lovely lob again from Sabalenka. Love 15. The forehand of Sabalenka, and Sabalenka hits a forehand in the net. Nice pick up from Ants. 15-0. 15-0. Canelkrez beat Djokovic. Not on grass. 15-0. Sabalenka falling out from Jabur. Sabalenka hit it out, but we're getting a challenge. If it's in, it'll be 15-30. This is a big challenge. It looked like it was just long though. The umpire was very quick to correct. The ball was just out. You cannot be serious. 30-15. 30-15. More hype for the Medialkrez match. Yeah, I think it should be because it's the more unpredictable match for sure. With the slice flying out of the forehand of Djokovic. Great shot. Sabalenka with a slice on the stretch again. Djokovic in control. And Sabalenka trying to go for behind the back. She's been watching Alka-Raz. 40-15. She tried to go for behind the back shot because Jabur went behind her. 40-15. The back end of Alka-Raz. Sabalenka gets the point. 40-30. That goes in the net from Jabur. Can Sina stun Djokovic tomorrow? What are the chances? No. He might get a set, but I don't think he's going to beat Djokovic. If he beats Djokovic, then it's officially changing of the guard. As that goes out from Sabalenka and it's 3-3. If Sina beats Djokovic and after what we saw at the French Open what Alka-Raz was doing, I think we can safely say that it is the changing of the guard. Because Djokovic doesn't win the US Open. He hasn't won the US Open for years. He's only won three of them. If Alka-Raz beats Djokovic in the final again, it's probably the same situation. It's like, well, if Medi beats Djokovic, it's nothing new. We've seen that before. If Sina beats Djokovic I think we can all say that the new era is here. And the old era might be on the way, it might be one foot out the door. I mean, Rafa's almost there. I mean, you beat Djokovic to Wimbledon, that changes things. 15-love. But I don't think Djokovic will move, so I think he'll win it. 4. 7 at the backhand of Jabera. Return goes let from Sabalenka. 15-love. 4. If Djokovic loses to Sina tomorrow and what happened at the French Open with what almost happened at the French Open with Alka-Raz beating Djokovic up for a couple of sets I think those two matches alone we can look at those and go, okay these new kids are starting to beat goats at slams. It's never used to happen. Or at least starting to contest against goats at slams would never happen. There was always three guys who would get to the finals and maybe Murray as well. In the last, you know, 5-6 years as that goes out from Jabera. 30-love. As we'll find out tomorrow, I don't think anything would change. I think Sina will get a set, but Djokovic will win in 4. 7-love to serve, trying to get the lead back serving the backhand of Jabera in the net. Nice hit there from Sabalenka. Served down the T40 Love It's been a hell of a run for the big three. Look, I've been watching the big three my whole life. As we turn down the forehand of Sabalenka, Sabalenka puts it away, 4-3 but I am excited for a new era of tennis. Yeah, the goat generation has been great and I love it and I appreciate everything that they keep doing, but I'm ready for a new era. I have a lot of questions about the new era. Who's going to take over it? Who's going to be the dominant one? Who's going to be in the top five of the new era? Those kind of things, I want to know. We can't have that unless the old era depart. The old era has been great. The greatest era we've ever seen. We'll never see it again, but just like on the women's side, there was always fears that when Serena retired, tennis would not be as good, and yeah, tennis suffered for a while in the WTA, but look at it now. WTA tennis right now is as strong as it's been in the last five years and it's mainly because when Serena goes everyone can focus on who's new. We're not all getting distracted by the shiny golden goats. We can actually learn who are these people and what can they do. Whereas when the dominant when we do have Djokovic around and Nadal and all those guys still winning, it's like we can't really focus on the new dudes or the new ladies because we still got these shiny goats that are still doing things and it's like well, we can't we can't figure it out, right? So I'm excited for the new era because I want to know who the next champions are who's going to dominate the next decade, all that stuff. And if Senna beats Djokovic tomorrow or Elkviz beats Djokovic in the final or Medvedev, you know, whatever I think Djokovic losing at Wimbledon is a big as a start to the changing of eras. 30 love as that goes long from Sabalenka 7 to 400, Sabalenka 4-0 from Jaber is good, Sabalenka with a drop shot OK, Jaber gets it with a flick volley to volley and the volley winner from Jaber I mean, if you want to play that game against Onts, you better get it right 40 love No one can achieve like Nola in the future Yeah, but they don't have to I mean, look at no one's going to do what Serena's done but it doesn't mean Tennis is any less any less, right? I mean, the WTA is so much fun to watch right now so good and there's so many players coming through and so many champions right now that are, you know, potential champions and it might not be close to Serena but it doesn't really matter Is it a backhand now to the 4-0 Jaber backhand now from Sabalenka into the backhand of Jaber who hits it wide again um so yeah, so like, we're not going to like, I don't think the fact that no one's going to go near Djokovic's records, I don't think that actually matters to Tennis because we're still going to see Epic Five-Setters, we're still going to see you know, champions the tournaments will go on we don't need to have record-breaking tournaments to have to make it interesting I mean, look at one of the biggest matches this week was Baratini vs. Elkaraz right, and that's when did that ever happen you know, Shafiontek vs. Benchich, right I mean, those matches stand on their own without having goats in them right, 40-30, good return from Sabalenka to level this up 40-30 Serven to the 4-0 Sabalenka, return is long and it's 4-4 in the first all in the first Shafiontek, Sabalenka, Rabakina and Jaber is the best thing that happened in the last few years, yeah I mean, you can add in you know, the consistency of Pagula which is, you know, yeah, she doesn't win the same thing, but she also is very consistent you've still got some of the old guard you know, you've still got Azarenka's there still Kovitiv is still there, so you still have that little bit of 2010s generation still competitive, right so it's not like totally unfamiliar names, it's not like you know, all the old names retired and then all the new names are here and we don't know who anyone is, there's still some like, you know, memorable names, still got Pliscuva around no, Sark is not done yet, we've still got Wozniaki coming back Kerb is still around, Mughal Ruthamite come back to us with a slice of wine there from Jaber that goes wide and it's 30 love so yeah, so it's and it's a shame because we don't have that on the men's side, right, we don't have we don't have that many champions that can kind of like slowly transition to the new era it's like as soon as Djokovic goes and Nadal goes, it's like chop, all right, new era start from zero whereas at least we've got you know, a couple of familiar names going into the new era of WTA and they're competitive, whereas on the men's side it's like Stan Chillich, Mari and Djokovic and Ah, that's it in the end, that's it double fought Sabalenka second double fought of the day Sabalenka she serves again she's been in solo the last couple of games served until the point of Jaber, the point of Sabalenka is out, 30 all but she has faced more break points than odds in this first set, three break points against Sabalenka so far and a chance to get another one Jaber 30 all, 30 all that's her 14th era including the double faults Sabalenka another serve for Sabalenka now why does an ace, that is clutch and that's why she has a grand slam because those serves, she was double folding at that stage in matches last year, that's why she couldn't win slams, now she serves aces at that point and that is the difference, you win the pressure points you win slams 40-30 serve out while the back of the Jaber return goes in the front of Sabalenka, Sabalenka in the net the serve was there the return was good and Sabalenka just couldn't adjust, now we get the deuce another good serve there from Sabalenka but that's the difference between Jaber and everyone else she's played this week is that those serves usually didn't come back that well deuce Sabalenka serves an ace, and again just a clutch moment just a clutch moment advantage Sabalenka a dash founds across the arena as the media is predicting yeah I hate that, that's annoying why would the media predict, that's so stupid advantage Sabalenka that's so dumb to give someone who's got four slams to be like oh yeah they'll get more than 20, it's like dude they have four let them win five, like that's so stupid if you apply that to anybody in the history of tennis who has four slams before the age of 22 then like why doesn't you know why doesn't a lot of players have 20 then Sabalenka double folds the ace worked, and then the double fold comes back so annoying when they do that she can beat Serena okay well yeah mathematically tell you know blah blah you know put that on that pressure on Shriyantek before she's even won five, it's like so stupid like look it's like calling someone baby Federer, and look how that turned out second serve Sabalenka she just double folded she's also hit two aces at Deuce she says a serve out why that's a big second serve return goes in the four and Sabalenka back in a traverse Sabalenka comes in with a volley puts it away, and again Sabalenka on the attack and she gets the point advantage, the pressure was on Nehemi as well yeah exactly I mean look how that happened look how that worked out Osaka had all the pressures of she's the next Serena and she's the next blah blah blah and look what's happened, she basically went I don't want to play tennis right now so that's what happens when the media start calling people goats there's been a four and out of the backhand slice Sabalenka in the first she hangs on to the lead we start giving putting all this pressure on people they'll walk away from tennis I mean the more the media want to hype people up I mean look at Radhakanu, another person who got super hyped because she won the US Open as a qualifier and now she's yeah she's getting surgery on her wrists and stuff but also she's probably loving the fact that she doesn't have to deal with all this media craziness right just let them play and if they get close then we can start talking about it Coco as well yeah I mean there's a lot you can name a lot of players right we'll just let the end on Drava is the next shiny new object right so you know hopefully she doesn't worry about that pressure is a privilege yeah but also I think that's in the context of on court I don't think they were talking about media pressure I don't think Billie Jean King said that and said the media putting pressure on me as a privilege I think she meant on court under pressure on court being on center court is a privilege not being called a goat and being put under pressure unnecessarily being put under pressure anyways she burst out but she's gonna challenge I don't think the media was that big of a deal and Billie Jean King played so I'm sure she she meant she didn't mean the pressures of the media second serve that was a fault second serve in the front of Sabalenka who hits it in the net in the return and Sabalenka just missing that one shouldn't have missed that one 15 love who hasn't won too many second serve points and that is obviously Sabalenka's doing serving the front of Sabalenka four now from Jabur into the back of Sabalenka it's wide it's 30 love they're trying to sell the game to viewers I suppose yeah I get that I mean they've got to hype up they've got to hype things up but I guess but calling people goats is just too much I mean that's over exaggerating 40 love good serving from Jabur not everyone has to be the next goat to be interesting you know look at this match right two top 10 players two time finals versus a grand slam champion this match should be hyped up as that goes wide from Sabalenka and his deuce sorry it's 5-5 don't need to neither of these players is being called the next Serena we don't need to call them Serena to be interesting if you don't take watching you reckon probably probably keeping an eye on this yeah all right Sabalenka with a serve I hope the media doesn't destroy Carlos he seems pretty well well it seems like he's handling it pretty well I mean he won a slam so that definitely I mean it's not so much the pressure of the media it's a critics right once they put the pressure on you and then you don't do what they said you would do then they come for you 15 love you know it's like hey Cocoa Goff's gonna win a slam back in 2019 she's gonna win a slam in the next 12 months she doesn't do that she didn't say she was gonna win a slam and then people go well she was supposed to win a slam why is she so bad so it's you know luckily for Elkraz he shut everyone up with a slam so no one's gonna come for him for a while but the problem is it's like as soon as you go like this person's gonna win in the next year and they don't sinner for example then people get pissed and they come after him 30 love there's a let there's Sabalenka serves again it's a fault this time so I can serve immediately get used to a goat yet they take years to arrive exactly there's a find a find rally that goes down the line it's back in each bird back in our from Sabalenka with a slice in the net from Sabalenka 30-15 30-15 Sabalenka's been under more pressure on serve by the way I just noticed Pavlia Cenkava just got to a final or got to a semi-final of a challenger or maybe a quarter-final of a challenger clay court event Pavlia Cenkava playing at the moment well she just won so that's good for her former French open finalist 30-15 and an ace Sabalenka 40-15 to get to 6-5 in the first serve is a fault second serve critics came for Elqueriz after the French true that was silly 40-15 alright 6-5 Sabalenka stays in front this first set nearly an hour played the whole first semi-final almost went for an hour so this matches this first set is going a lot longer than the second the first semi-final combined okay now chat time break time don't say anything yet you can't expect every era to have a goat yeah exactly that's the problem though is that we had tennis always had someone I mean it's funny because the grand slam record between Roy Emerson and Pete Sampras which was like 40 years apart it took forever to get that record broken and then like 10 years later Federer did it and then Nadal and then Djokovic like it took so long for it to get broken and then it got broken 3 times in the span of a decade so or maybe 4 times in the span of you know a couple of years 15 years but the next generation we don't know when someone is going to get like no one else has got 10 slams in the last however I mean who is the last player to get double digit slams if you take Sampras, Djokovic, Nadal and Federer away from like back in the 80s right maybe Borg Agassi got 8 and Borg won his last he won 11 and he won his last in 81 so like it took when did Sampras win his 10th I mean 97 Sampras won his 10th so it took like 18 what 16 years for somebody to win double digit slams back in the backhand rally 15 all here is Djiboga is in the line and it's on the line Sabalinga challenges Sabalinga saw that she was right on top of the line so if this is out she would know it might have hit the back of the line though because it did slide through and that it bounced weirdly and Sabalinga just goes I couldn't see that 30-15 Sabalinga's got no challenges left she'll get an extra one if they go to a tie break 7 to the 4 Sabalinga return goes to the 4 it's a winner 40-15 and then yeah Sampras got 97 and then Federer got to 10 in 10 years later if someone gets double digits we should be celebrating that is like one of the biggest achievements because that is not easy getting 10 slams is hard enough with a 4 on return from Sabalinga that goes long tie break first set no breaks in this first set it's been on serve the entire time couple of break points here and there but nobody could get the breakthrough who's taking the tie break chat who is going to take this tie break Jabir lost the first set tie break against Rabakiner in the previous round is that going to make a difference Jabir by the way there's only a second tie break for the tournament a lot of people go on with Sabalinga sorry Sabalinga won the first point one love Jabir played one tie break that was against Rabakiner she lost it and Sabalinga this is her first tie break for the whole tournament I mean that's crazy Jabir serves an ace so 0-1 0-0 that's the tie break record this this week for these ladies that's insane Sabalinga hasn't played a tie break all week played a 7-5 but she didn't play a tie break serve doesn't see as a fault second serve second serve Jabir into the back of Sabalinga Sabalinga in the net and it's 2-1 Jabir now I guess the question is who's been playing better to this stage well once has been playing better she's only hit 4 errors and 11 winners Sabalinga with the 16 winners and the 18 errors including 3 double faults so it feels like maybe once deserves the first set because of the way she's played but Sabalinga's got the serve she serves out wide a fault second serve second serve Sabalinga into the back of Jabir return goes into the back of Sabalinga Jabir with the back end of the stretch Sabalinga forehand cross court Jabir gets it into the front of Sabalinga Jabir with the back end slice can't get it wow what a forehand from Sabalinga 2-0 Jesus like a smokes that was that Thogdon anyone else to see does anyone else know who that is 2-0 somebody in the chat would know 2-0 he's the soccer guy the guy that went to the World Cup all the World Cup matches was that him was it just generic British man serve down to see the fault it looked like him right what I said everyone's like who this second serve double fault oh no the double fault it looked a lot like him I thought yeah Josh right okay he's a YouTube guy if you don't know who he is he's a YouTube man he's a YouTube guy alright 3-2 Jabir serves a fault second serve Sabalinga get the mini break back 3-2 into the back end of Sabalinga into the back end of Sabalinga Jabir with the backhand on the stretch Sabalinga with the backhand down the line that's a good shot Jabir with the forehand winner from Jabir what a shot onto the stretch just slaps it down the line 4-2 they change ends jeez Sabalinga hit a decent shot and Jabir just slapped it back whoo shot of the day so far her husband's like whoo that's hot he loved it alright 4-2 Jabir 4-2 Jabir she's got another serve to come here and she just hit the shot of the day 4-2 as Jabir serves again a fault this time second serve chance again for Sabalinga to get the mini break back if she can return the second serve to the back end of Sabalinga Jabir Sabalinga gets it back Jabir over hits it 4-3 Jabir back on serve his first set time break okay don't forget to like we're almost at 700 likes this is an epic match we hoped this would be right we hoped we'd get some sort of an epic and we're getting exactly what we'd hoped a close contest between two of the best players on the planet 4-3 Sabalinga with a serve Jabir's got the lead Sabalinga serves an ace bang Jabir's going to challenge though no chalk flew up but maybe she just hit it so damn hard that didn't need a chalk the chalk got scared yep on the line you cannot be serious ace down the tee 4-4 Sabalinga back on serve another serve to come here Sabalinga 4-4 Sabalinga with a serve down the tee the back end of Jabir return goes in the back end of Sabalinga Jabir back end slice into the back end of Sabalinga again to the back end of Jabir on the stretch Sabalinga forehand cross court Jabir is there with a forehand down the line but it's long and it's a well we're getting another challenge if this is on the line Sabalinga will lose the point Jabir challenging again it was close it was all you cannot be serious out it was out it was out by that if that I mean look if that goes in she wins 5-4 that was a huge challenge huge moment Jabir slapping herself in the leg that was such a challenge even her husband's like Jesus that was that was close anyway she's serving now so on serve she serves a fault this time serve it was out if that goes in it's 5-4 Jabir second serve into the back end of Sabalinga return goes in the back end of Jabir Jabir on the net 6-4 from 4-2 down or from 2-4 down to 6-4 up Sabalinga with the set points 6-4 Sabalinga serve out wide the forehand of Sabalinga return goes into the forehand of Jabir who hits a winner she saves one 6-5 Sabalinga Jabir's got the serve sorry Sabalinga's got the serve though 6-5 Sabalinga to take the first set Jabir's been a better player in this set feels very similar to the Rabakina match except that Sabalinga's playing a little better than Rabakina was yesterday Sabalinga with the set point she serves down to the forehand of Jabir return goes long and the first set goes to Sabalinga in this battle of the clash with the Titans is that what we're calling it 7-6 Sabalinga takes it and that's not the worst thing for Jabir we saw yesterday she came back from a set down she's come back from a set down twice this week Sabalinga takes the first in this pre-final the final and then the main finals on Saturday but this really feels like the final she eats some more toothpaste it's in a Colgate tube Jabir eating toothpaste again don't yell at me chat I'm just kidding it's probably energy food alright just joking no cam it's not toothpaste I know I was just making a joke anyways I guess the question is this year what happens when Sabalinga wins the first set well chat thanks for asking when Sabalinga wins the first set in the season she's only lost one match 35 wins one loss when she wins the first set this year Sabalinga anyone can guess what's the match that she lost can anyone remember 35 out of 36 matches she goes on a win if she wins the first set this year who did she lose to who was the only player to come back who was it it was Krajikava BBC just caught a toothpaste maybe we're onto something it was against Krajikava in Dubai yeah she actually won the first set Sabalinga and then lost the next two sets one in a tie break and then she lost 6-1 in the third so she really fell away in that final set but Krajikava is the only player that's beaten Sabalinga from a set down this year and I guess the flip side of that is Jabir has she come back from a set down five times in the last sorry in the last 12 matches five out of 12 matches this year she's come back from a set down she came back against Rabakina and Andrescu this week and as I said earlier she's also come back against Danilovic at the French she came back against Ostapenko in Rome and she came back against Frey at Indian Wells so she has come back five times from losing the first set but it's more it's more the fact that it doesn't come, doesn't lose when she wins the first set unless your name is Krajikava which happened once 15-0 so Jabir is going to have to do the near impossible 15-0 serve down a tee from Jabir second serve second serve to the fauna Sabalinga fauna from Jabir is good Sabalinga with a slice into the fauna of Jabir but it's a winner probably forehand there from Ants what Jabir has seen is Jabir serves again down the tee, Chalk flew up, Sabalinga gets it back Jabir hits a winner 40-15 40-15 we haven't even mentioned the number one ranking on the line we haven't mentioned it that much we talked about it a lot at the start of the day but we haven't talked about it that much because to be honest it hasn't it hasn't really been we haven't seen too many nerves I guess from either player no breaks yet it's been a double fault errors and stuff I don't think the number one ranking is that big of a deal for Sabalinga right now that could change in the next 20 minutes but she starts to win the set and might play a part but the moment she's not really doesn't seem like she's thinking about that as much as Jabir gets the first game of the second one love one love in the second who's going to win this? Well I said Sabalinga in three I'm going to stick with that Sabalinga does Sabalinga play today? She already played and she lost unfortunately in the in the previous match does the crowd get any ear protection? No ear protection Sabalinga serving Jabir came back from a set down yesterday similar situation she lost the tie break but unfortunately this time around she was really had a chance in the last day from the start it was all Rabakiner in that tie break so hopefully Jabir is not thinking about the opportunity missed she has to win a Sabalinga 15 love no worries Lia 15 love as Sabalinga serves again now why the backhand of Jabir backhand from Sabalinga into the slice of Jabir who hits it in the net 30 love 30 love Spitalina is not in the final so she won't be at the parade there will be von Drussever against one of these ladies in the final 30 love serving the forehand and that's a winner from Jabir unbelievable smokes it back 30-15 of a first serve huge return from Jabir 30-15 that was an angry forehand from Jabir she's like you know what sick of these first serves I'm just going to slap one and see if it goes in 30-15 serve that wide from Sabalinga as a fault second serve second serve Sabalinga into the backhand of Jabir backhand Sabalinga down the line is good too good Sabalinga smoking the backhand down the line 40-15 massive backhand winner 40-15 to level this up in the second serving to the forehand of Jabir Jabir hits it wide and it's 1-1 Sabalinga levels one all in the second Sabalinga won the first 7-6 one set away from being number one in the world yeah Sabalinga is almost at the top of the rankings come Monday it's crazy that the men and women's ranking is up for grabs I mean the men's ranking also well if we could have two changes I don't think I don't remember the last time we had one ranking on men and women's change at the same time in the same week we need a challenge here from Jabir and that serve was wide second serve second serve into the forehand of Sabalinga return to the backhand of Jabir into the backhand of Sabalinga who hits it in the net Alkarez has to win has to win to keep the ranking but so does Djokovic I guess like if Djokovic doesn't win Alkarez will be number one and that means we only get one change so maybe we're not there yet I won't talk too early alright forehand of backhand is Sabalinga hits it in the net 30 love 30 love Jabir with the serve back into Sabalinga returning the net from Sabalinga 40 love Jabir to stay in front here Djokovic is definitely number one after this week depends on depends on Alkarez Ace out wide I mean if Djokovic loses the center and Alkarez loses the mevadev then it's Alkarez number one if Alkarez and Djokovic play in the final winner is number one so I mean it's not a not a sure thing yet okay 2-1 Jabir second set Jabir loses because her opponents are very strong I'll tell you what that's not true because Rabakhin is very strong and Jabir won Cavitib is very strong Jabir won so that's not true not always Jabir doesn't get overpowered always you know and she has made it's funny because she has dropped you know she has made Sabalinga drop her level in this match like she did with those other two players I played but other two players are named but Sabalinga has just got a little more consistency than the two play like Rabakhin in the last match and also Cavitibar she's just a little more consistent the other two players' serves working a little better than their serves were the other days but this match isn't over and Jabir played a better first set she just didn't get the set the reward for it which is a little deceiving she didn't play she actually played better than Sabalinga just unfortunate that she couldn't play the Tibery or win the Tibery 2-1 Jabir could get a break here and it's game on but to serve out wide the back out of the fight of Jabir Jabir hits it out and now a second serve 15 love Cavitibar played really bad from the start and Rabakhin was not 100% she was still sick Jabir had something to do with those things not the sickness but the fact that they played bad it's not a coincidence that both of them played bad and also now Sabalinga is not playing her best even though she won the first set she's still not playing well Jabir is the reason I think you know if it happens three times we've got to credit Jabir for dragging these players down because they're not playing their game and I like on Monday or whatever day it was Tuesday when we watched when we watched Cavitibar lose on Monday against Jabir was like whoa what the hell's Cavitibar done but then she did against Rabakhin and Rabakhin played the worst match of her week and Sabalinga's not playing well just playing a little played well enough in the Tibery to get back so again I think we've got to credit Jabir got to credit once but affecting these players by just getting everything back mixing it up making it awkward for them with different slices and angles and Sabalinga hits that out in the return and it's 30-15 30-15 Sabalinga tries to level this up and the second set no breaks have served yet which is almost unheard of in the WTA we do get we've got breaks in the first match a lot of breaks that was like old school WTA this is new school WTA where the serve actually the servers hold at least these players hold that's why they're at the top 30-15 serve into the forehand of Jabir slicing the net from Sabalinga and here's a little chance for Sabalinga for Jabir 30-all 30-all and Sabalinga serves can she be clutch 30-all now while the 400 Jabir return goes into the front of Sabalinga, Jabir gets a slice into the 400 Sabalinga, Jabir is going side to side and then eventually hits it in the net 40-30 Sabalinga survives but I think you may wear the channel for the three bucks appreciate that thank you again and welcome back 40-30 serve clutch again, yep the ground strokes too for Sabalinga have been clutch 40-30 Sabalinga with a serve out wide the backhand but it's a let 30-30 serve for Sabalinga out wide the backhand Jabir return goes into the front of Sabalinga, backhand Jabir with a slice again into the front slice of Sabalinga, drop shot is a winner of Sabalinga wow that is impressive by Sabalinga again just the drop shot she wouldn't have done that 18 months ago, even 12 months ago she would have tried to hit that for a winner she would have tried to hit that harder but she just slices it for a drop shot and that is not what Sabalinga did not scary that she is doing it now now she has the brain to think about not just trying to hit it all hard she's mixing it up a little bit there's a 400 Sabalinga rally Jabir with a 400 Sabalinga Sabalinga coming in for the drop shot hits a drop shot back Sabalinga, love 15 4 hand drop shots as well which are even harder tricky shots to hit and Sabalinga is making it look very easy love 15 Sabalinga with a serve into the front of Sabalinga into the forehand of Jabir hits it in the net, love 30 now Jabir is in big trouble love 30 Oleana glad that we can be of assistance does that return hit the baseline, Sabalinga love 40 to take the first break of the day Sabalinga Jabir is in big trouble and the crowd is like shit this match is almost over go on, ahh love 40 Sabalinga to get the break serve denti is a fault second serve you know Sabalinga is not as possible she's got three break points second serves a double fold and you knew that maybe Jabir knew that was going to be the case so she double folded under the pressure of the Sabalinga return first break of the day goes to Sabalinga 3-2 she's got a set and a break one hour 14 minutes played Sabalinga 3 games away from being the Wimbledon finals and the world number one third match is over yet Sabalinga is going to be thinking about all those things I just said he's going to be thinking about oh I can just serve for the match now okay I'll be number one on my serve I'll just be number one when I serve when I just get some serves in I'll be number one still only 3-2 it's a long way back it's a long way away I should say long way to the end I wouldn't be calling it over yet 2-2 we're just getting in the middle of the set becoming clinical display from Sabalinga Sabalinga serving forehand has been huge but now now it turns mental for Sabalinga because she is serving she has it on her racket this is her match she can hold 3 times serve to the 4-2 Jabir return goes in Sabalinga forehand is a winner 15 love 15 love can Sabalinga keep her head she's only ever won one semi-final and remember what happened at the French she was up 5-2 with match points and she lost that just happened so if anyone is saying it's over you didn't watch that you didn't watch the semis did you watch the French open she had match points I called it over and looked what happened I was just thinking that yeah 15 love second serve Sabalinga in the back end of Jabir return the back end of Sabalinga Jabir to the forehand down the line in the net 30 love not the camcurs had nothing to do with me it was just a coincidence 30 love Sabalinga's got the set and the break it's only one break so if you think it's over you haven't watched women's tennis before 30 love oh it's not over I know it's not over what do you think I've been saying for the last 5 minutes serve is an ace 40 love Sabalinga 4-2 in the second set Sabalinga serves 40 love out wide is a fault second serve second serve the back end of Jabir 4-2 Sabalinga wins one game she needs two more to become world number one and the Wimbledon finalist and look if you're a von Drussefer fan you don't want Sabalinga to play you don't want to play her you want to play Jabir especially this year you want to play Jabir because von Drussefer's beaten Jabir unfortunately Jabir is in big trouble first serve is a fault second serve second serve in the back end of Sabalinga she's in love Sabalinga too strong how ironic considering how her serve used to be 2023 Sabalinga is a totally different player she's beaten Shafiontek on clay she's won a grand slam made the semifinals of every grand slam in the last 12 months it started at the US Open last year we kind of say the last since the Australian Open she's been great she's been great since the US Open last year fortunately at the US Open semi 4-2 and she lost there's been a volley there from Jabir and Sabalinga gets it wide I mean how different would things be for both these ladies had Sabalinga beaten Shafiontek in the semifinals she's up 4-2 in that semi she wins that semi she plays Jabir in the final and this could be a rematch of the US Open final maybe Jabir has a slam maybe Sabalinga has two you know maybe Sabalinga would have been world number one a long time ago you know how different things would have been if Sabalinga was this version in the US Open as Jabir puts it in that 30-15 either way she's here now and look at what's happening 30-15 30-15 is once has to hold has to hold serving it back into Sabalinga out in the return 40-15 40-5 rain delay won't happen because the roof is shut it's probably raining right now they're still playing roof is closed return from Sabalinga is long and it's 4-3 Sabalinga but Jabir holds that's what she needed needed that 4-3 Sabalinga with a set and a break alright chat I haven't asked you

court of the back of Sabalenka back into the back of Sabalenka into the net 30-15 can't be losing those 30-15, Sabalenka is six points away six points away from all of those things I mentioned 30-15 serve is a fault second serve 30-15 second serve return is good, Sabalenka in the net 30 All 30 All here's the chance the chance for France can Sabalenka clutch this with a big serve it's 30 All, she's been doing massive serves at this stage or at least hitting first serves in at this stage 30 All Sabalenka serves out wide of the Fort of Jaber return goes into the back of Sabalenka Jaber with a slice into the forehand of Sabalenka, Jaber is there with the forehand down the line Sabalenka with the backhand on the stretch now Jaber in control back in the backhand Jaber with a volley, drop shot Sabalenka gets it hits a winner Sabalenka comes up clutch 40-30 what the hell Sabalenka Jaber played the perfect point by the way that drop volley perfect shot but Sabalenka knew it was coming in the corner raises the fist what a shot the drop volley was a good shot but Sabalenka anticipated it that's the only downfall Sabalenka 40-30 she serves that wide a fault second serve we're getting a challenge here okay alright let's see what happened here if it's in I don't know if they replay it was wide so it's a fault second serve second serve second serve as Sabalenka serves to get to 5-3 serving the Fort of Jaber return goes in Sabalenka flicks it into the backhand of Jaber who hits a drop shot Sabalenka was running it's going to be a hard shot he ran to the side and Jaber just went nope over here little drop shot deuce and this is the game this is the game Jaber is going to fight back it starts now she needs Sabalenka to make a couple of miss first serves so that's something she's going to have to hope for she serves that wide Sabalenka great serve return goes in the Fort of Sabalenka Jaber with the forehand of the stretch is good Sabalenka slices it with the backhand is it going in it goes in good recovery as Jaber goes again to the forehand of Sabalenka 400 Jaber on the stretch hit the tape Sabalenka with a slice as we had a slice there from Jaber down the line Sabalenka's forehand cross court what a rally Jaber in the nets what a rally this is going to be on fingers tv that's why they're in the top 10 a semi-final worthy rally what a point it's a shame that it ended it's the longest rally of the match 13 shots that's incredible it's just a shame that it ended with an arrow but what a rally both ladies just going all out and Jaber ends up on the floor Sabalenka with a vantage and Jaber just ends up down he drops the racket and just collapses what a rally both ladies could have won that many times serving to the 400 Jaber return goes in the Fort of Sabalenka next back to Deuce Sabalenka sprays it I think Sabalenka is tired from that last rally that's why she missed that she's breathing heavy again here's the chance for once to get the break back Sabalenka with a serve here we go serve Sabalenka down the tee is a fault second serve here it is getting heavy she's getting tired here's the chance Sabalenka second serve double fault old Sabalenka comes back and Jaber gets a break back point here it is Jaber's chance the big chance Sabalenka needs a first serve Sabalenka serves a fault second serve advantage Jaber second serve return goes in the back of Sabalenka on the stretch goes down the line Sabalenka on the stretch goes with the forehand Sabalenka down the line we're back on serve Jaber fights back and she knows it she knows it 4-4 in the second and the crowd on their feet as they should be Jaber's fighting back we had the rally of the match in that game the first break against Sabalenka in an hour and 30 minutes and it's game on now it's back to Jaber to serve this is what a semi-final is you're down right this is a semi-final as Jaber serves into the front of Sabalenka return goes in the front of Jaber great return Sabalenka 1-15 the double fault at Deuce that definitely cost her in that game Sabalenka but you wonder whether or not that long point they play just tied Sabalenka out enough to give her to miss some shots Sabalenka gets a backhand cross call winner Sabalenka back to business love 30 just smokes the backhand like nothing ever happened but that double fault it's a tired double fault but it might not even matter love 30 Jaber with a serve in the net second serve second serve to the backhand of Sabalenka back in at Jaber goes the backhand of Sabalenka Jaber with the forehand down the line is oh it's too good it hit the tape and hit the line and Sabalenka went the wrong way 15-30 15-30 so a chance over to Sabalenka Jaber needs first serves second serve to the backhand of Sabalenka return goes long great first serve exactly what she needed 30 all 30 all Jaber serves again down the tee that's a let this is a colossal game this is the game that might change this set serve to the tee return goes into the forehand of Jaber forehand from Sabalenka Jaber with a volley she had the shot she had the volley and it went wide break point Sabalenka she's five points away oh the backhand volley she did a 360 she thought it was in she just hits it wide and she drops her racket she knew it she's hit so many of those in Jaber 30-40 Sabalenka to get the break and serve of the match Sabalenka backhand of Jaber into the backhand of Sabalenka Jaber with the forehand of the stretch goes into the forehand of Sabalenka who over hits it alright Sabalenka misfiring with that hammer back to Deuce back to Deuce a big shout from Ants a lot of tension in this match Deuce return of Sabalenka defensive to the forehand of Jaber backhand of Sabalenka on the stretch is wide Jaber gets advantage Jaber gets to advantage by the way shout out to the chat can we have fire in the chat for this match the chat's on fire this match is on fire can we get some fire in the chat for this one advantage Jaber she serves down to see a fault to get back the lead here nearly 6000 people here bloody hell the backhand of Sabalenka and Ants gets the lead for the first time in a while she takes the lead Sabalenka is going to serve to stay in the set now and that could be sketchy 1 hour 34 minutes played and Jaber is back there we go fire in the chat that's what we want to see that's what this match deserves it's on fire alright by the way the roof is being shut there's been an indoor match the whole time last match Von Drussever took out Svetolina 6-3-6-3 and that score was generous it could have been 6-3-6-1 it could have been 6-3-6-love Svetolina really didn't really put up a fight for that in that match which was a shame because we expected two unseeded players you know both playing for a women final there would be a little bit more contest but Von Drussever too good of course this banger which first set no breaks have served Sabalenka took the tie break in about an hour then in the second set Sabalenka had the break she held on to it for a couple of games but then she was broken back Jaber is now in the lead 5-4 in the second 5-4 Sabalenka serving now to stay in the set and to avoid a third she serves out wide to the front of Jaber return goes into the front of Sabalenka that goes into the backhand slice Jaber up goes the lob it goes wide 15-love aggressive from Sabalenka 15-love by the way where was that 1,000 likes can we get to 1,000 likes this match surely deserves 1,000 likes it has been incredible the standard of the match the quality of from Sabalenka Sabalenka has been up and down but mostly up has been a 4-1 now to the backhand of Jaber 4-1 from no it's a winner Jaber just goes smack down the line get that out of here 15-all 15-all we're nearly there come on we're nearly 1,000 we can get there 15-all lovely backhand winner now Sabalenka's got a hold because if she's serving second in the final set it might end up like this set the way it's going you know 5-4 down serving to stay in it and that is a problem there's not what Sabalenka wants to do serve to stay in a match 15-all Sabalenka serves again out wide the 400 Jaber great return Sabalenka hits a winner though Sabalenka knows that's coming back she guides it down the line 30-15 30-5 lovely hitting there from both but Sabalenka won too many shots 30-15 Sabalenka serves everyone as Sabalenka is in the net 30-all a big problem now for Sabalenka 30-all she needs to be clutch 30-all she needs to be clutch Sabalenka serves down the tee good return into the back and Sabalenka over hits it Sabalenka over hits it she's a great serve but Jaber got it back and Sabalenka just poked at it set point Jaber 30-40 to take us to a third and the crowd love this because they paid a lot of money and they didn't get their money's worth in the first match like shit we better get a 3-7 in the next one 30-40 set point Jaber to take the second set from 4-2 down serve Sabalenka out wide it's a fault second serve into the back and Jaber return down the line it's a winner we're going 3 baby up points in her area she's like yes you happy now we're going 3 you happy now Jaber from 4-2 down to 6-4 and we're going to a third there it is on Jaber and look we circled that game at 4-3 we're saying that's the one that was the one that double fold it do Sabalenka that's that is the point that change things that double fold and Jaber is going to serve first in the third that's huge that is huge alright and straight away hit the return and went you know what I want to hear some loud noises in this crowd I want to hear the loud noises okay and Sabalenka is probably thinking shit here we go again we did this we did this the French open can we not do this anymore okay for the gifted member appreciate that who got it I don't know who got it oh here we go bio there you go welcome back thank you for the gifted membership appreciate that okay Jaber is back in this match and we finally getting that match that we wanted semi-final worthy match I mean 2 top 10 ladies they played an epic at the WT finals last year finally getting our money's worth but like I said Jaber serving first in the third that is that is interesting but that is going to be tough for Sabalenka to come back and be able to be behind on the score but every time they change ends if Jaber holds when Drewson were winning Wimbledon anyways okay Sabalenka doesn't have champion mentality like Schviantech sorry that's not true but okay lady thought going to thunderbolt on just waiting to watch okay Jaber's been the better player in this match so like I said that first set even though Jaber lost it she was the better player the second set she went down a break and it looked like maybe she lost a little bit of heart but that deuce game 4-3 and the double fault from Sabalenka after a very long rally they played earlier that was the difference that turned things around curious as Schviantech's watching she probably is Jaber will win this next set just because Sabalenka starts her choking episode alright well we got to talk about that too Jaber's never lost a semi-final 2-0 in semi-finals Sabalenka's only won 1 out of 5 in semi-finals she lost the US Open twice in the last 2 years she lost Wimbledon 2 years ago and she lost in the French Open course she only won the Australian Open semi-final that was this year so yeah she has not got a good semi-final record but only one person has beaten Sabalenka this year after losing the first set and that was Krajikova so Jaber's gonna still have to do something that nobody's done except for that Krajikova anomaly now I'll tell you the players that have beaten that have come back from a set down and made a third set because that is also few and far between the only player, players that have taken Sabalenka to a third set after losing the first set Sviantec in Madrid 6-3 3-6 and then 6-3 Sabalenka in the final set and Krajikova lost the first set in Indian Worlds won the second and then lost the third 6-4 so there's only been 3 players have taken Sabalenka to 3 sets once the first set is lost sorry once the first set is won only 2 of those 3 have actually won the match so this is the 4th time this year Sabalenka has gone to a third set after winning the first so Jaber still has a lot of work to do love 15 Jaber with the serve is a fault and the scoreline is very similar to that Rabakina match we saw yesterday but except the difference is that Sabalenka is playing a lot better than Rabakina was yesterday as well as we're back here now from Sabalenka that goes to the side oh she over hit it there's a chance there love 15 yeah same as yesterday I don't think the final set is going to be the same but I never know maybe there's some weird voodoo energy going around the stadium 6-1 was the final set yesterday with Rabakina Jaber demolished her in the third set alright 30-15 nice serve there from Ants 30-15 serves again Sabalenka slaps it in the net 40-15 40-15 first game of the third serve is a fault Jaber won 4 games in a row to win that set she won 4 games in a row to win the set return now going into the net from Sabalenka 5 games in a row for Ants Jaber Sabalenka has got a lot of thinking to do hopefully she doesn't think too hard otherwise just don't think just hit the ball see ball hit ball the predictor broke again Sabalenka you're going to win okay well just because you don't agree with the predictor doesn't mean it's broken you know otherwise I'll say chat's broken every time you make a decision because chat makes all the wrong chat's broken oh chat's broken they said that this is going to happen they said sin is going to win chat's broken chat's broken alright one love Sabalenka's serving she is a hold she's been broken the last two games she serves in the 400 Jaber returning on the net 15 love who's been in the final set chat you tell me why aren't you showing the match because that's illegal and those who show the match go to jail YouTube jail which is banned backhand slice from Jaber in the backhand of Sabalenka backhand and Jaber sliced again drop shot but it's in the net 30 love 30 love another serve here from Sabalenka this would be a good start if she can get the get an easy game here to just stop the break or stop the run of games the streak I should say good serve return goes in backhand of Sabalenka Jaber is there with the slice oh no it's a topspin she hits it in the net 40 love 40 love to get to get on the board here 40 love all that semi-finals of slams are supposed to be the intensity is risen as we serve out why it's a let from Sabalenka 40 love we'll serve again for Sabalenka jokwit beats center and straight sets Elkwit beats many in five jokwit will beat Elkwit and straights okay I could see that he's out wide Sabalenka with the scream and she gets on the board she breaks the streak of five games levels 11 Sabalenka with the energy she's fired up 11 now it's back to once this is a tense final set chat if you're not feeling nervous then you probably don't care who wins but if you're I mean the tension is high you should be feeling something I'm nervous and I don't care who wins serve that's not true I want oh I picked Sabalenka I want to be right but Jabir is serving first and she serves a nice serve 15 love but this is a very tense match only two breaks of serve sorry three breaks of serve for the entire match as well which is very rare compared to the last match where we had like three breaks of serves in like five games return the net from Sabalenka 30 love 30 love 30 love as we're serving the back end of Sabalenka return the net 40 love man once it's just dominating on a serve at the moment 40 love 40 love serve don't see the form of Sabalenka Sabalenka gets it out wow and again Jabir dominating on serve so far two one final set two one in the final set winner plays von Drussova you're probably asking what is the records can against von Drussova between these all these ladies all right well I'll tell you three all between her and Jabir von Drussova Jabir 3-3 Sabalenka has a 4-2 record against von Drussova winning record she won an Adelaide early in the year von Drussova has won two of the last two matches this year against against on so it's it's gonna be interesting to see if ons does win that's gonna be very interesting she has a bad record or a recent record against her so if you're von Drussova you want ons you don't want to play Sabalenka you want to play ons someone who's lost two finals of slams has those battle scars where Sabalenka's won her only final of a slam you want to play ons for that reason too but also the record all right Sabalenka serving 2-1 final set 2-1 in the final set as we serve now from Sabalenka that goes into the von Drussova return goes into the von Sabalenka Jabir on the attack but hits it wide 15 love that's a shame Jabir just slapped it wide couldn't control it

year twice now a third time finalist in 12 months GG's again 11,000 people here appreciate that that's ridiculous but deserved for these two players because these two players are ridiculous holy hell Jabir from the dead 4-2 down in the second and Sabalenka's going to think shit why does this keep happening it was 5-2 at the French it was 4-2 at Wimbledon she should have been in two finals she should have made every final of the slams this year Sabalenka but she's only made the semis of two out of the three she made the final of one and she won that alright holy shit chat if you're leaving don't forget to subscribe von Drussemer we're getting a new champion and if it's on Jabir the big four is a thing we're talking big four now because big three has been a fun thing to say over the last six months and then Jabir's like hang on excuse me I'm over here too what about me she's beaten Caviteva she's beaten Rabakina von Drussemer all the Vaz is that a thing no can she do it again now the problem is she's playing against a player that she has to or she should beat or at least she will be the favorite and also a lady who has got a good record against her this year she beat her at the Australian Open von Drussemer she also beat her at Indian Wells so the problem with Once is the fact that she's going to play someone that she's lost to in the last couple and that's going to be very dangerous also von Drussemer no pressure nothing to lose everything to win von Drussemer is going to like this match and Once is going to be thinking about those two finals hopefully not too hard she was the favorite last year when she played Rabakina which right now you think no that's impossible nope it's the truth it happened alright again thank you chat for joining we're going to stick around because it's two in the three in the morning and I've got nowhere else to be but if you're not leaving don't forget to subscribe we're almost at 147K so that's insane we had over 10K people here that's also crazy biggest match of the I think it's the biggest match do we have more people there with this Fetalina match can't remember I think we had 11,000 here most people here for the week ridiculous numbers again one sub tennis shop if you like tennis we like you this is where you should be watching we've got everything for you we've got people in the chat that are smart I sometimes say smart things we've got sounds we've got muck around that's just the streams and then we've got previews we've got rankings we've got breaking news all the time every time is that enough to you haven't subscribed now I mean I can't help you alright chats on fire thank you everybody get away because it's kind of awkward if they are in each other's face I guess it's not that bad is it alright great call can thank you appreciate it what a shame Eager is not in the final would have been a great find to see that for sure but hey if she can win this thing the WTA Tennis Landscape changes again it changed in Australia it then kind of it changed a little with the French because Fiontech was kind of like becoming the person that she won last year and she's not going to do it again so she kind of resurrected back and by the way speaking of Fiontech she stays number one Saberlenker is still number two so Fiontech saves her ranking luckily thanks for and then on if she wins this she's number four in the world the big four is the thing and the top four players in the world of Grand Slam 1000 events aren't enough because at the start of the year or even at the end of the start of last year winning a 1000 event was like almost like winning a slam not many players have them now the barrier to entry to be considered one of these champions you have to win a slam now which is how it should be but Gaul has got to win a slam Garcia you got to win a slam now you want to be seen as one of these champs 1000 events aren't going to be enough answers the Andy Murray she might be the Andy Murray if she gets the slam she doesn't get the slam she'll just be like everybody else alright Rowdy Fiontech's still number one baby that's it you know it thank you for the $8.88 is that significant I don't know the significance of that is babek thank you for the $750 yeah I the third option is the most likely Illness injury, that's, you know, hope that doesn't happen. But Jabur could lose to herself because Von Drussever is already in her head. Like Von Drussever's in Jabur's head right now. Like we saw in Australia, Von Drussever just destroyed Jabur, you know, mentally. And yeah, Jabur had the knee injury, so maybe that was a factor back then. We'll find out on Saturday if it's a thing. But Von Drussever knows how to beat, and kind of like today, I mean, we saw Von Drussever destroy Svetilina like she had the previous matches. So like I said, I think that if you're a Von Drussever fan, this is the match that you wanted. You don't want to play Svetilina because of what happened last time they played. But the time that they played, last time they played, she played Jabur the last two times had been very good. So I think that's, you've got the player, if you're a Von Drussever fan, you've got the player that you're most likely to beat. You're a better chance of winning this one. The last person to beat Von Drussever at Wimbledon is Rotter Canu. Really, interesting. You know those Lexi who are joining us. I want Ons to win it all, I do too. No, nothing against Von Drussever, like she's great. You know, she's been great. She's had a great week, just like Mukava. But I think for the sake of the WTA, Jabur winning will just add so much more to the WTA. You know, like I mentioned, you've got Shriyantek with four, you've got Sabalenka finally getting one, you've got Rabakina with hers, Jabur gets hers, and you've got a big four. And then you can start promoting that big four to every tournament because the WTA, they just shit the bed when it comes to promotion. I'm doing their bloody work for them. I'm out here campaigning for the WTA more than the bloody WTA. So the big four is an easy sell. And there is a big four because all four of them beat each other except for that Shriyantek Jabur match. We haven't seen that yet. I wanna see that. We haven't seen that yet. But you know, Sabalenka Jabur, we had Rabakina Jabur, we've had Sabalenka Rabakina, we've had Sabalenka Shriyantek, we've had Rabakina Shriyantek. I mean, the biggest match of the year so far involved those at the season. So that's what I wanna see. And again, no disrespect to Von Drussever, but I wanna see four players with grand slams that at the US Open, we've got four grand slam champions all going for that in the next one. Because Jabur's a favorite, Shriyantek's a favorite. Rabakina and Sabalenka are all favorites at the US and we've got four slam champions. Going into that would be amazing. So it would be so amazing. I mean, it would be insane. The WTA is so good right now and it would be even better if Jabur won. We'll just, again, just add. We'll just add so much more to be like, okay, the best four players in the world, they all have slams. And that is huge. Jabur deserved the win. She beat the favorite defending champion and on Drescu. She must win the final now. Yeah, I mean, yeah. She beat on Drescu, grand slam champion. She beat Kovitava grand slam champion. She beat Sabalenka and Rabakina grand slam champion. I mean, we talk about Svetlana's run to the final. We didn't, to the semis. We didn't talk about Jabur. She took out the first two opponents she played, you know, Frey and Bay, the easy wins. Then she beats US Open 2019 champion. Then she beats the two-time Wimbledon champion. Then she beats the Wimbledon champion of last year. Then she beats the Australian Open champion. The only problem now is that she's playing against a non-champion in the final. It might've been better if she played for Yontek, to be honest. But, man, I'm so pumped. I love it. I love WTA. I think WTA is so much fun. And the ATP will get there. You know, Djokovic is still winning everything, which kind of makes it a little bit more predictable, but on the women's side, it's great to have that core group because that's what we didn't have two years ago. When Kredjikovic won the French and, you know, Barty was up the top and, you know, Savva Lenk was floating, but nobody knew what was going on. Serena was still around. Now it's like, okay, here's the era. Here we go. This is what we came to see. Four main characters. Jabir had three hard matches. She has. Juan Joseph has had tough matches too, but yeah, she's had like champ, champ, champ, champ. Plus, she's come back from a set down three times in four matches. Now I don't have any hell of news. Sorry, Lorna, no hell of news yet. Savva Lenk won herself out with all the shouting. I don't know about war herself out with all the shouting, but, man, Savva Lenk is just, again, I think the French open got into her head a little bit. When she was up four two, I reckon once the third set went on, she's gone, shit, this is happening again. It happened at the French and it happened again. You know? Rowdy. She has so much swagger. She does, yeah. Yeah, and that's the thing is, and it's again, we noticed it again today. When Jabir lost the first set, she locked in. She's like, okay, she doesn't give up after losing the first set, but we haven't seen her yet win the first set and then get a little bit complacent. But the last couple of matches, she's lost the first set in a tight one. She probably should have won the first set in the last two matches. And then she's locked in. She's like, you know what? I'm gonna lock in. And yeah, she nearly lost the second. She was down four two, but she locked in. And that double fault, that was, that double fault. And again, let me put some context around that shot because people are gonna say that double fault was the reason. You gotta look back the point before, or the two points before, when they played that long rally, remember when they played that long rally? It was one of the best rallies of the match. And Jabir lost the point, but that tied out Sabalenka. She was running, running, running. They were hitting everything. There was the longest rally of the match. And then Sabalenka double fault because she was tired from that one point. And that was the moment. And then when that happened, everything changed. So the long point caused the double fault. The double fault caused the break. The break caused the doubts. Jabir caused the comeback. So it all, it's just a domino effect because of that one long rally, which is kind of crazy when we can kind of pinpoint the moment that things change in that little middle of the set. Sabalenka was when she is nervous, she double falls. Well, that's something I would say. Captain Obvious over here. Reminds me a bit of Martin as winning Wimbledon, okay. I mean, Sabalenka with the U.S. Open as well, yeah. So I mean, the three semifinals that Sabalenka has lost in the last 12 months. U.S. Open, she was up 4-2 in the final set. She lost 6-4. French Open, 5-2 up, match points, lost 7-5. And then today, 4-2 in the second loses the match in the third. So the problem with Sabalenka is like, yeah, we all, you know, we all think, oh, Sabalenka is so good and how amazing she is now and she's so much better than she was. She is, but she's also, you know, when the pressure's on, the old Sabalenka does creep in. And three out of the four semifinals that the three semifinals she's lost have all been the same. She's been in a winning position. She could have made, and this is not crazy to say, she could have won the last four slams. Could have. She could have at least made the final. U.S. Open, she beat Shfiontek with her serve. She wins that set. She plays Jabir in the final. Who knows what happens. So then Australian Open, she wins. She beats Mukavash, she plays Shfiontek in the final. Probably Shfiontek wins. And then today, the three out of the four times that she's, well, the three out of the last four grand slams, she's had winning matches. She could have made four finals in a row. And then she would have been number one easily because Shfiontek hasn't done that. So again, it's just, it's in these moments. And the problem is that she knows that. Next semifinals she makes, she's gonna think about it again if she's in a winning position. I mean, it's just, she's gonna think about that now because it's a, if we're thinking about it, you know she knows what's up. Mercer. Thank you, Mercer, for the dollar. Um, it's either you improve your movement or you make your serve bulletproof. And like, do you work on what's, like, do you, do you make what's working better or do you work on something that's not very good? To like, you know what I mean? Do you work, do you know, do you play to your strengths or do you work on your weaknesses? Like, how do you really improve your movement when you're six foot tall and awkward? Like, it's not, I mean, I would think that she needs to work on the things that work. And the movement's just gonna like try and, and that's the thing about tennis is that the key is the best players don't let their weaknesses get exploited. So, you know what I mean? Like, that's the, yeah, it's hard to kind of be like good movement. It's like, if you're six foot tall because for the, for the WTA, it's not, you know, I mean, Venus won plenty of slams without, well, she had good movement, but, and the Sharapova is another one, you know, good movement, but not quick. They're not fast. So I don't think she's gonna get any faster, but she won a Wimbledon without, with, you know, not great movement. And that's because she has such big strengths with the serve in the forehands and stuff. But maybe Jabir is the one that, I mean, look, we saw it with Kovitava, we saw it with Rebecca and we see it today. Jabir makes players with big serves and big ground strokes play bad. It's just a thing. You know, she, she takes those players down. Unfortunately, she's not playing one of them in the final. She's playing a counter puncher. Is Mia coming back to the finals? Yeah, Mia will be back for the women's final, hopefully, she'll be here, or she will be here. I don't know if she'll be awake though. She might be asleep, but she'll be here. Dracochus will destroy Alcors in the final and break him mentally, okay? They haven't even played, they're still in the semi, so. Even though it's something I lost today, I mean, I, and I'm frustrated. I think she'll be number one this year. Yeah, Daniel, look, I'll tell you what's coming up. Let's, let's talk about Shveontek's ranking because by the way, Jabir, if she wins the title, she's number four. If she loses, she's number six. There's that on the line for our for ons. Now, let's talk about rankings for what's coming up for Sabalenka and Shveontek, because at the moment, Shveontek is up by, I think, what is it, 300 points, 400 points, something like that. 500 points, 450, 450. So she's ahead by 450 points, Shveontek. We did a nice cushion, right? That's a nice, that's a nice, you know, that's a nice gap between the, the number one and two. You know, that's winning a tournament. You're gonna win a 500 event to cover that or get to a final of a 1000. So on the WTA, what's coming up with Shveontek and Sabalenka because Shveontek does have points to defend coming up, but not for 500 points, unfortunately. So she has, let me have a look. She has, it's loading, we'll get there eventually. Here we go. So Sabalenka has, well, of course, when I refresh it, it screws up, hang on. We'll get there. So 450 points, Shveontek is ahead, which basically, well, this tournament's coming up like Washington, which is worth 470 points. So that's something that she could, if Shveontek wins that, she could maybe cover it. But coming up over the next couple of weeks for Shveontek, she has a tournament in Poland. I think she's got nine, like 100 points there to defend, of course, the U.S. Open. We know she's got 2000 points there, but for Shveontek, she's got 60 points in Warsaw, 100 points in Toronto, 100 points in Sinti. So pre-U.S. Open, Shveontek will lose if she doesn't play any matches before the U.S. Open, which is crazy, she will, but she has before the U.S. Open 270 points to defend. So not only does Shveontek have, I mean, Shveontek fourth round both Cincinnati and Toronto, it's okay, but she didn't make it very far in those tournaments. She played pretty bad, to be honest. U.S. Open outstanding. So if you want to see Sabalenka's number one at the U.S. Open, this is what's going to have to happen. Unfortunately, Sabalenka did well at Cincinnati. She made the semis. She didn't do great in San Jose, which was a 1,000 event, sorry, 500 event, and also Toronto. She's actually got 555 points to defend before the U.S. Open. So the likelihood of Sabalenka making it to being number one before the U.S. Open, she's going to have to win Canada or Sinti. Probably Canada, because Sinti, she doesn't have that many points to gain. She probably has to win Canada to be number one, and hope Shveontek has the bad U.S. Open run that she had last year. I don't think Shveontek's going to have another bad run like that. I think she, you know, it was a different time. You know, she, the streak got broken. She, you know, she kind of fell apart for a couple of weeks, a couple of months, got good at the U.S. Open. But I think that if Sabalenka's going to be number one before the U.S. Open, it has to be, she has to win a 1,000 event before that, and hope Shveontek doesn't get far at those events. So again, we'll track that as we go, because of course that's very interesting. The world number one ranking has been a hot topic all year, it's awesome. Shveontek last year, Sinti points is not counted currently. Oh, there you go. So there you go. They're not even counted, so there you go. So she has even less points to lose. Shveontek has to like 4,000 points from the U.S. Open onwards. Yeah, yeah, from the U.S. Open. I mean, most likely Sabalenka is going to be number one post-U.S. Open. Like if Sabalenka's gonna be number one, it's gonna be after the U.S. Open. And I think she will, because she, Shveontek will lose points which will allow Sabalenka to overtake her. Cause Sabalenka is gonna lose, like even if Sabalenka makes a quarter final, yeah, she doesn't, she loses points too, but Shveontek might lose more points than Sabalenka, which might cause the difference. But again, remember, we are going to Asia at the end of the year too. And for those who don't know, the Asian swing is the part of the year that we have at the end of the year in about October, and then it leads into the WTA Finals, which is at the end of the year in Singapore this year, I think. And for those who don't remember 2019, because it was so long ago, it feels like 20 years ago because of COVID, 2019 Sabalenka was very dominant in Asia. So this year we're going to, straight after the U.S. Open, we're going to Japan. We've got Guadalajara, which is a tournament that I don't think Shveontek's gonna play, cause she doesn't wanna go play on the top of the mountain. She'll go straight to Asia with the rest of them. We've got 500 event in Tokyo. We had a 1000 event in Beijing, and a 500 event in China as well again. And then of course the WTA Finals at the end of, that is, I think, well, it might be in Saudi Arabia because they're talking about buying tennis, but at this stage I think it's gonna be probably in Asia because that's sort of where it has been over the last couple of, or where it was before COVID. Now if I go back to 2019, I'll tell you what Sabalenka did at the end of 2019, because 2019 Sabalenka was becoming this Sabalenka, but unfortunately things, the world started to burn. So at the end of 20, at the end of 2019, Sabalenka went on a run where she lost one match, and it was to Kazakina in Beijing. But she went on, she won in Wuhan, which was a 1000 event. She then won the WTA Elite Trophy, which is the tournament for the players that don't make the Finals from nine to 20. She won that as well. She beat Zachary Mukova-Bertens in that match. In those matches she beat Barty, Rabakina, Collins along the way in Asia as well. In fact, if I have a look here, she won in Asia. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11 out of 13, no, 11 out of 12, sorry, 11 out of 13 matches to finish the year in Asia. So Sabalenka is the best, is the favorite in Asia. And that was post-U.S. Open. She won, what did I say, 11 out of 13. Only Martich and Kazakina beat her. So when we get to the end of the season, post-U.S. Open and we go to Asia, that's Sabalenka's territory. Like she dominates in Asia. We haven't played in Asia for two years, or four years, sorry. So I want to have a look at what happened back in, is Sabalenka dominating Asia in 2018 too, or am I just making that up? Sabalenka 2018, where was she? She won another 1,000, right? Yeah, she won back-to-back Wuhan. So in 2018, 2019, she won in Wuhan, which we're not gonna go back to Wuhan, because, you know, whatever. But we are going back to Beijing, which again, in Asia. So she dominates in Asia. And that's what, that's why I think that Sabalenka will be number one at the end of the year, by the end of the year at some point. But I don't know if she'll hold onto it, it'll come down to the Asian swing. But again, I think Sabalenka, once we get past the U.S. Open, if she's not number one by the U.S. Open, she'll be number one after that. Yeah, she won Wuhan back-to-back. Yeah, Wuhan was a 1,000 event. Now it's not. Now it's Beijing is a 1,000 event. Jabir returning those big serves is crazy, yeah. It was crazy. Early finish today, 3 a.m., I know, right? It's, I don't know what to do. I don't know whether to go to bed or watch a movie. Don't know. She was playing on court too now. Is he, oh, is he playing with James Blake still? Before the Masters, Sabalenka might be number one. Yeah, before the WTA final, Sabalenka could be number one, yeah. Are you assuming or forecasting Shriyantek may not do well? Well, that's the thing. Shriyantek, she even said after winning the U.S. Open, that was hard. So I don't know if Shriyantek's gonna go back-to-back of the U.S. Because the U.S. Open was a tough one for her to win in the first place. So I'm going, I'm basing it off. But again, I think that no one's got any points to lose, sorry, no one's got any points to lose in Asia at the end of the year. So if everybody goes to Asia to play their tournaments, to play the tournament, everyone's starting at zero. And I think Sabalenka does better than Shriyantek in Asia based on the fact that Sabalenka's played well there before, she has good memories there. WTA final's gonna be interesting. We could actually have a, let me get this chat. We could have a situation where we go to the WTA finals and the number one ranking is up for grabs. And it might not just be two players. We might get Rabakina in the conversation too because Rabakina has also played well in the Middle East at times. So that could also be a factor. Even though that's more of a hot desert heat, but still Rabakina might also be a factor towards some of the tournaments in Asia favor the big hitters. But they're fast courts in Asia. Shanghai is a fast court when they play on the men's side. So Rabakina and Sabalenka are gonna have the favorite conditions because it's fast, it's quick. And Shriyantek on a fast, quick court we saw in Australia that she struggles. So that's, again, we could have a situation where things get real, real funny towards the end of the year. Jocker is the master of Shanghai. Yeah, I mean, he's won most of them, right? No worries, Dutchie. Unbelievable. Unbelievable, no. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. Rowdy. Shriyantek is a tough matchup for Anz. But I noticed in these last two matches, she has a big speed and quickness advantage over Sabalenka and Rabakina. Yep, the thing that she does against them is like she uses her weapons of great defense, slicing it up and it just, yeah. Again, getting one more shot back than the others and that's why Sabalenka gets so many errors there because she almost frustrated her into those errors like she did with Rabakina and like she did with Kibbitva. Whereas Shriyantek can rally all day. So that's the difference. That's a big difference, isn't it? Shriyantek can just stand there. But again, we haven't seen Shriyantek versus Jabur full match since the US Open. So hopefully we get Jabur versus Shriyantek before the US Open, like Cincinnati or Canada. That would be great. I'd love to see that matchup. We'll get an idea of that. And Nuance is going to win as soon as Sabalenka started slicing against her. Well, that was, yeah, that was a big, bad mistake. Do you think Alcouris can beat Jockwit in the US? Ask me when we go to Cincinnati and Canada. We can't be talking about hard court tennis in that much detail. Especially, I mean, unless we've seen it before but we haven't seen Alcouris versus Jockwit on a hard court. So it's hard to say. I mean, yes. Maybe. Maybe. Jabur will introduce him a Hall of Fame. One of them, whoever wins the title will. I knew once he's going to win. Okay. Wasniaki challenge the top players. No idea. No idea. No idea. I mean, Wasniaki hasn't even played a match. So I don't know. No idea. Just to play like the 150 in the world first and then we'll figure out if she can beat them and then work her way up. But no clue. It's a revenge again. It's revenge again. It gets on Jerusalem. But yeah, that is revenge. She's lost to her twice on to this year. I wonder how Alcouris and Medi will go. That's gonna be epic. That's tomorrow. We're gonna have fun with that one. Pagula Garcia will drop the rankings on to the back in the top five soon. Well, if onto wins the title, she's number four. And the top four players in the world all have slams which I don't think we've said that. I mean, when was the last time the top four players in the world have a grand slam? Maybe Barty Halop, Osaka on Drescu. So four years ago. Three years ago, I guess, with the rankings. So the last time we had four grand slam champions at the top of the game, I think that was the four. Well, maybe Kennan. Sorry, Kennan. Barty, Osaka, Halop, Kennan. So that's the last time we had four slam champions at the top. So three years ago. Bungerserver is very dangerous lefty, yeah. She is. Also be number three if she wins. Was she? Oh, there you go. My bad. Yeah, should be number three. Sorry, yeah. And then Rebecca goes down. Yeah. So anyway, still the four grand slam champions or sorry, the four top four players will be grand slam champions. Which again, I haven't seen since for so long. I haven't seen for, plus not just like, because Kennan won the Australian Open, but didn't do, hasn't done much else. Sorry, hadn't done much else until then. And she went on to make it French at the final. Barty's gone, Osaka's gone, Halop's gone for now, you know, like hopefully these four ladies stay at the top because these four ladies have been at the top. We're back in her excluded because she didn't get the points, but. WT is wide open. Yeah, but it's slowly starting to become a little more, you know, the players that are winning these tournaments, the big tournaments are these, you know, is a group of players, you know, Sabalenka, Rabakina, Fiontech, and maybe Jabur, if she wins the Wimbledon. So the WTA is now not a free-for-all. It's like, it's probably one of about, one of four players that can win the big trophies this year. Kragikova sometimes makes a cameo, you know, but it comes down to like these, you know, there is a select few that can win these trophies that if Jabur wins Wimbledon, she doesn't win Wimbledon, then it's still, you know, pretty random and open. But again, it's really, really cool to see like, we can kind of make a prediction that, oh, one of these five players is most likely going to win. If we haven't said for years on the WTA, besides Serena winning everything. And Jabur lost the first set and came back with last three or four last matches, exactly Chad. So winning the first set might not be a good thing against Vandruciva. You might want to lose the first set. Isn't it crazy that Rabakina managed to make it to the top three without getting Wimbledon points from last year? I mean, that's, that is insane. Is that is incredible. Ones first weapon today was the leg, impressive. I was a leg, what do you mean? You think Osaka can come back next year? I think Osaka is still relevant. I think she'll come back. I hope she comes back with renewed, renewed enthusiasm for tennis and also like a, and wants to show, like she has a reason to play now. You know, maybe she didn't have that reason when she played. She did things and she's like, whatever. But now she's like, she has a kid. So maybe her perspective has changed. And hopefully, you know, her perspective is for tennis's sake is I want to show my daughter that I'm a champion. And I want to win while she's, you know, since she's been born. So I hope that happens. It might not, but I hope that Osaka comes back with that kind of attitude and mentality of like, you know what, I want to set an example for my kid by being, you know, by working my ass off and winning a slam and showing her like, and also becoming a mom as a champion. That's the thing that, you know, exclusive clubs. Again, I don't know if that's going to happen, but I hope it happens. Because Osaka being on the top of the game is good for tennis because she is very popular, very popular player in America too, you know, not just in Asia. All right Chad, I'm getting out of here because I need to make some videos for you. But thank you for joining us. Massive semi-finals tomorrow. Massive second semi-finals today. We got our epic. I mean, the first match was a flop, bit of a one-sided wonder, but this match lived up to the hype, six, seven, six, four, six, three, on Schubert back-to-back finals at Wimbledon, third final in her last five slams. It's kind of like Casparude. Hopefully the result isn't the same as Rude at the French, but great win for Schubert. She'll play on Saturday, Saturday final. She'll take on Vondrusova. We're doing a massive breakdown of that because that is going to be a crazy ass match. But tomorrow, we have the semi-finals of the men. We've got Djokovic taking on Sinner. That's the first one. And then we've got Mervit of Elkers, which I think is the better one when it comes to excitement and hype, and probably more likely to be a five-setter because no disrespect to Sinner, but I don't think Djokovic is going to let him win two sets twice. But I'll see you guys tomorrow. Thank you for that. Preview's coming out now for the men, so stick around for that as well. 6-7-6-4-6-3. Jabir Wynch is in the final of the Wimbledon. Again, we'll see you Saturday.
