 Hi what's going on everybody welcome today two of the French open and the big boys are coming on today we've got the contenders we've got Djokovic coming up we've got Elkres coming up the biggest of the two favourites to win the event plenty of other matches going on as well we've got we've already had Pleskov losing to Stevens which is interesting because slow Stevens is sometimes really good and sometimes disappointing today she is really good we've also got other players playing we've got pair up two sets to one against Nori which which is fun and FAA is losing to Fanini which I think I mean it's kind of like yesterday with Sakri Mukovic it's like that match is probably going to go being upset and look so far it is so much other stuff happening Schappos on who else playing Schappo we've got Carrotsives up against Popper and Draper is on at the moment we've got Schwartzman we've got Diminor we've got Stan Vavrenkoz on as well and now we're watching Djokovic taking on Kovacovic I think I got that right Kovacovic the American not sure what to expect never watched him before but let's see he made it through the he made it to the main draw so let's have a look at what who is this guy who's this American guy this random guy that is playing one of the best players of all time let's go look at where he's come from and also where they you know what's next for possibly Djokovic if he gets through this first round so you can see that Fudjavic is the guy that awaits the winner of this match who took out Grenier in four sets yesterday you got Fakina potentially as well who I think Fakina and Fisa playing later today which should be an absolute banger Van Esch also interesting Van Esch and Czechonado playing Czechonado beat Djokovic here a few like five years ago Van Esch this year push Djokovic in Bosnia so not an easy little draw here a couple of like unseated annoying players for Nole but then Grand Slam Nole we'll see what he's up what what he's got up his sleeve he's playing against Kovacovic Kovacovic guys hard to say Kovacovic who we'll find out a little bit more about he's number 114 in the world 24 year old from the USA six-foot tall right-handed one win four losses on the year no title so he's named but he has got hasn't got great for me the five losses coming into this event so not the greatest preparation to play the biggest match of your life but we'll see what happens oh he's come through the college system you said well we'll learn about learn about him I mean 24 year old relatively unknown well most I mean outside of America very unknown so you think that if he's 24 and he's sort of making his debut on to the big stage it's probably probably yeah going through the college system he's playing against Moeback Djokovic what number three two weeks ago this guy was number one now he's number three all of a sudden how quickly things change are changing in tennis now 36 year old from Serbia it's for two right-handed 20 wins four losses on the year two titles as well including the Australian Open 93 career titles including two French opens in 22 slams and his form has been a little sketchy compared to the no lay of what we used to now these guys have never played so we've got no head-to-head between these guys but we're gonna learn about Kovacovic and again I think I'm saying that right because I googled it I googled it now let me let's go on a little deep dive into who Kovacovic is so he's an American from the College of Illinois so he went to university he's actually from New York so I'm expecting I'm hoping this guy's got a little bit of swagger you know go you know New Yorkers they got a little bit they're not afraid they're not afraid of anybody so let's see if let's see if he's a little bit loud a little bit and look he's smart no lay was getting pissed off at Norrie the other day for getting shouty let's see if he's a little bit vocal also see the crowd gets on board with with being the underdog maybe he can get he can get under Djokovic's skin again never watched him before he's actually never made with the main draw of Grand Slam until today qualifying us first round of qualities at the US Open last year and also the Australian Open this year nearly made it to the main draw of the US back in 21 but lost in the third round of the qualities has never played at Wimbledon you'll play Wimbledon this year I'm sure I'm sure you will the last year sorry this year he's actually won two challenges but they're both on hard courts so I don't know how much we can look into those one in Cleveland one in Waco both in January February so that's where he's been successful this year I've been his best ever career and now he's playing his biggest ever match and look we've had this situation before chat I mean Djokovic in first rounds of slams remember Draper at Wimbledon right we had Runa at the US Open a couple of years ago taking a set of Djokovic in the first round as this random unknown person can Kovacovich be the guy for this one maybe maybe even look at Djokovic at the Australian Open this year you know there was early rounds Kwako got a set off Djokovic randomly we thought what the hell's that so maybe maybe there's a chance that this guy can do something get no not win but make it interesting for some reason I know why it is to Djokovic in the first round of grand slam sometimes drop sets okay overwhelming favorite obviously by the bookies yeah easy win on the cuts for Djokovic you'd accept well that's what they they're saying at least an easy a win for Djokovic maybe not an easy win but a win how are we chat what's up there we went up to watch as team and cash in later try to see how to see so many fans squeeze into the outside courts really Dominic's in popular people know who he is 98% should be higher you think pair will win I think I can't remember because I was a lot of things happened yesterday but I think yesterday I had I think yesterday I had Nori in four so that's not gonna happen but I still have Nori I don't know I think Nori's gonna win I think Nori's gonna come back and win why do I have Jera in the thumbnail cuz I don't your phone might be broken any damage to your place the earthquake tremor no in fact nobody it was like a non-event everyone I spoke to was like no I didn't I was asleep so I think I was the only one who was awake who felt it out out here who do I tip between Purcell and Thompson Purcell's been having a good season so might go with Purcell over Tom oh no he doesn't look good though you haven't been watching it I've only been seeing the score tick over but I mean now Nori's about to break in the fourth so we'll see no always match starts in like three five minutes even though pair is in the lead I'm not sure about chances yeah he's so it's so scary so I'm reliable did I watch this succession finale I am halfway through because I had to catch up because I haven't been watching succession because of the more the tortoise we've been watching but I'm on the last episode I'm on the finale and I'm halfway through I'm at the I'm at the hour mark just this shit's about to go crazy I feel hey can I dare you to scream out heat what do you think I am just like you just give me money and I just do what like I'm just like your your whatever I'm your dancing entertainment what do you want to throw money at me and you're like dance scream out wait is that what do you think I who do you think I am what so how it works but thank you for the two dollars yell this word out just throw money at me a good way to talk about yeet how is Shapo Shapo was winning he's up two sets to one against Nakashima you won the first two sets not gonna spoil anything yeah don't want to say anything I can't even say but I like I want to say like oh I'm at the part where this is about to have this has happened but I don't want to even say it because then people who haven't watched it would be like I haven't seen it so who watches succession anybody in the chat we should and Nori's up a break down on the fourth players on court by the way Nori after no way after Nori versus Pear no they're playing on a different court Alcares is coming up later after that match but that matches nothing to do with this one where we're good I'm up to season three okay well cool just got here when it started should be starting in probably well they're just about to start warming up I can't would you consider doing charity works with your earnings on YouTube we've done that before we've done charity we did like chat we've done like charity streams so maybe maybe we'll do more in the future I don't know but we have done them in the past I don't mind if Shapo wins but I have Nakashima my fanslam who do you think it's gonna be more interesting to play against Alcares though Shapo or Nakashima I think Shapo Shapo would be a lot of fun but like drape has got a medical time out which sucks because he's already he has so many of them he gets injured all the time so that's not good at your very one the first set against draper and draper is now having a medical time out don't know why but that sucks where can Norway and Cullis meet in the semi finals Popper lost first set against Carrots of Boo well Carrots has been informed the Nori Pear game is so weird I bet Kovacovic parents Milan and Malanka who are ex pro tennis table tennis players from Yugoslavia wow that's a hell of a that's crazy what am I doing to plan when we hit 100 when we hit a million subs retire get a real job I don't know I don't know hold back tears I don't know I don't know celebrate we'll do something I mean we're not we've got five years to probably five to ten years to prepare for it who is the most likely to win the tournament in an absence of Rafa jokovic no crates I think jokovic though I mean jokovic I mean we'll find out today what if Grand Slam no lay is here and no he's even said in the press conferences before this like before today it's no secret that I don't I focus on Grand Slams and I want records so everything that's happened at this point in terms of jokovic I think is irrelevant losing a musty getting hurt you know losing to you know Runa I think most of it's irrelevant because this is a different guy that rocks up into this in these tournaments and we'll find that out today so I don't think I think counting jokovic out because of his form is silly I hope Stan wins so we can get cock an arcus Stan in the second round that'd be pretty nuts and then isn't like winner plays isn't like in the winner plays Alcares or something or is that not where they're in that where are they in the draw was it when it plays jokovic no where are we where are they in the draw what what section of them on the winner plays Hashinob or Elbot it's a weird I mean Senego Umbair Mutey Rubelev cock an arcus Hashinob Elbot Stan I mean that's a pretty open section it's a pretty wide open section no they speak so high of Rafa in press conferences is so nice to hear yeah of course I mean the goats respect each other for sure I'm from work I'm ready to watch tennis nice Kovacovic means Smithson okay I just I just want that jokovic play as far as possible but jokovic go win right I know people like people think Alcares go win jokovic beats Alcares of the play and still warming up jokovic gonna serve first by the way does no does no late get to number one if he wins the French okay so let's go through the situation it's a very awkward complicated mess for the number one rank of the man it's complicated for jokovic he's got to do so much more than the other guys because the other guys are ahead of him right so if jokovic okay so if Medvedev and Alcares lose before the fourth round then jokovic has to make the final to be number one so if jokovic doesn't make the final at least the final he won't be number one so that's the first thing right if he doesn't make the final he won't be number one he can't lose in the semis he can't lose in the quarters he has to make the final to be even consider number one but if he gets to the final and Alcares gets to the semis and Medvedev he plays Medvedev in the final then jokovic will have to win so there's where it gets a little complicated so if he does make the final but then you know Alcares gets to the quarters and Medvedev also makes the final it's gonna be a battle of whoever wins will number one but basically he's got to make the final first and you know other things have to play out Alcares has to you know Medvedev see what happens but jokovic has to at least make the final if he doesn't make the final he'll be number well he'll go to Wimbledon probably is number two or three and then he'll probably be number one after Wimbledon let's be real after Wimbledon he'll be number one unless Medvedev goes nuts Mirage twisters to love up and not doing so well in the third and fourth yeah I don't know what's going on with him oh yeah he's leading right now yeah he's up two breaks in the third in the fourth a lot of five setters to start this tournament feels like we're getting a lot of five setters to start the event which is great he doesn't love a five setter so who's not many ladies are playing at the moment but we did have uh please could we go down unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable I don't care about what they were saying alfred kam have you ever seen the blue clay court in madrid before of course of course i remember watching that back in like 10 years ago when it was when it first like when it came out like when it was a thing i remember watching on tv making for five yeah i was i mean i mean go watch kolt tennis's video on it it's a it's an absolute madness how that happened when a tennis history uh one of the strangest things in tennis history and nori needs to not let the crowd get to him oh that's yeah i mean if he lets the crowd get to him then he's done who has the most slams carlos stefanos schwarzman or runa what a random question um wait is that like who will have the most or who has the most because elkress is the most all right here we go chat novak jokovic the co-favorite to win this event is playing against alexandra alexandre alexander alexander kovacovic who i guess i hope i'm pronouncing right um let me know in the chat who's going to win i've got jokovic in i'm going to say in three i mean it's uh how do you say jokovic isn't going to be the number 114 in the world in straight sets as we're going to find rally kovacovic he goes to the back end of jokovic kovacovic with a one-handed backhand who doesn't mind like it isn't like that back in the backhand as kovacovic goes down the line for a winner wow that was brutal this is going to be on tennis tv bro hang on kovacovic just hit one of the biggest backhand oh he hit it out okay that was a stamp of rinka backhand he's got a little bit of a it feels like a little bit of a almost like a gas gay technique not as flat as stan not not as spinny as steff but it feels like a gas gay backhand i'll fix the scoreboard hang on oh he's got a one-hander interesting by the way not many people in the crowd which is kind of crazy considering watching jokovic 15 love jokovic double faults okay i saw kovacovic play one time he says he has good hands does he come to the net a lot like does he come to the net is he good at the net or is it just sort of he's got like drop shots and he can do that stuff demon or is one game away from beating avashka yay another Aussie win god the Aussies are killing it this week we're doing so well a jokovic there's another fault second serve sun is a problem as well it's pretty bright out all right second serve second serve into the form of kovacovic as we're going to back him up from jokovic on the stretch kovacovic forehand is long and it's 30 15 but kovacovic is going after it these guys not afraid to take on jokovic 30 15 but we know he five one up in the fourth against power cam how can you incorporate architecture tennis commentary and content creator how how wait how what what do you mean 40 15 good sir from no way no 40 15 draper retired yeah he had a medical timeout that's a bit of a shame good sir from no way return goes in from kovacovic as we get a back into backhand rally now jokovic with the forehand into the form of kovacovic to the form of jokovic kovacovic to the backhand slice in the net and jokovic wins the first game of the french open for 2023 1 0 no way do you think it's a it takes away from Nadal's legacy that he's only a lead on clay no he's won four us opens he's won a couple in australian opens no does it take away from jokovic's legacy that he's dominant at the australian open no does it take away from sampris's legacy that he was dominant at wimbledon no all right let's see what kovacovic's serve looks like because he's got seems to be having a rally let's see if we can serve what injury did he have did draper have i don't know someone in the chat can tell us but he did have a medical time out after the first set so and such a shame because he was just coming back from injury so to get re-injured i mean and especially now he's got to go play at home right the uk so hopefully it's nothing serious hopefully it's uh he's all right but maybe he just rushed too far too quick back all right second serve kovacovic goes out wide the forehand of jokovic kovacovic with the backhand cross call that's a good shot and all he gets over the slice but it's in the net and kovacovic's backhand i know it's one-hander and you know we all get we all like to see a one-hander right but this is a good one-hander it's a solid backhand it doesn't have like it doesn't look like he's gonna shank it like steve it you know he looks like he's got a pretty good pretty good uh strong arm for the backhand like i said it's a it looks kind of like a gas guy i would love to see a one-hander down the line to see what it looks like you know i wouldn't say it's as solid as uh vavrenko but definitely got definitely doesn't feel like he's gonna miss the backhand it's definitely a shot as we're going down the line at the backhand of kovacovic good slice there goes in the front of nole as kovacovic hits the backhand slice again solid slice too as jokovic gets a forehand kovacovic on the stretch with a forehand slice now as jokovic goes down the line kovacovic with the backhand down the line it's good no they can't get the volley lovely backhand one-hander unbelievable smacks it down the line and jokovic couldn't react 30 love why do i always hear you say guess guess gay well because i say guess guess gay that's how you spell how do you how do you say it isn't how you say it by the way who the guys in the front row wearing like the black military outfits it looks anyone see those guys they're like right in the back behind kovacovic and they're like to the left they're like all wearing the same they're definitely like military or something but they look really uh kovacovic hits the winner down the line love that 40 love um they look very formal grim reapers yeah i say gas gay yeah i do as well but i don't i mean maybe i say it with a k or like pronounce it with a k but maybe uh comes off as whatever you know it's falling out from drug which is the winner that's a nice shot 40 15 45th schwarzman by the way just goes to a fifth set against moralis we've got at the moment we've got four three five setters going on at the moment nori pair uh song viralis and then moralis and schwarzman so we've got three five setters going on and also nakashima is trying to go to a fifth set against uh shapo so we're a lot of a lot of potential five setters with a drop shot they're not great from oh he gets away with it though kovacovic he hit an average drop shot but he came up with a volley and it's one one kovacovic get on the board the crowd appreciate him that's good thing means the crowds you know the crowd are gonna give him a little bit of love because he is the uh he's playing against jokovic oh wait for anyone the first set against f a a little kovacovic just give it a little shrug like whoof all right well i got a good volley away all right nole serves into the back of the kovacovic from jokovic again to the back of the kovacovic into the back of the jokovic kovacovic with the forehand nole gets it again to the forehand kovacovic is going to find a fine rally with the forehand slice that goes in into the forehand jokovic who puts it away also i um i read some some uh uh comments by korean hashinov yesterday saying that the courts are playing really slow and he said it's hard to hit winners so you know who i want to see what mevvedev and elkrez look like because we know that we know elkrez has like he does struggle with times when he's playing on super slow courts we know mevvedev hate to play in any wells so i wonder if it's slower than rome which it's supposed to be i mean that's what it's meant to be the slowest court in tennis the french well it's it's one of the slowest courts in tennis the french open but i wonder how they're going to deal with that those guys with a slice there that goes out from jokovic and it's 15 all yeah that's probably why we've got so many five setters going on in the first two days because of the slow courts too it says jera instead of kovacovic in the top right what i don't know what you guys are talking about 15 all like jera none of that said my everything's right on my end no le hits an ace but the umpire the lines person called it out kovacovic is pointing at the mark saying is that the one umpire overruled it so they're going to jump out the chair and just confirm and when is the ever umpire ever got out of the chair and changed their own call never all right i was in good ace down the tee from no le and it was on the line do nori versus pair as well no uh backhand down the line from jokovic in the form of kovacovic for no le into the form of kovacovic kovacovic in the net 40 15 oh when it shows the kovacovic oh you're talking about this i am something like this wait something like this well what are we talking about does this say jera wait what above the picture you're talking about this oh is there a typo here oh okay on the head to hit oh okay all right so this says this okay all right that makes more sense i think i'm at the thumbnail good for when they're from drogo to one oh okay now i understand what okay now i get it doesn't okay it must be just a typo from yesterday oh that's okay i see now chat i thought you were talking about the thumbnail and the titles and stuff and i hang on with them it's none of that okay let me fix it let me fix it let me fix it hang on otherwise people you're getting i'm getting confused well i mean let me know in the chat are you happy how many people are really that confused by it how many people are like i don't understand why does it say a different person i who is he is he playing is everyone really that confused maybe we are i'm confused why it's not saying the right name but i'll fix it because otherwise it'll be a constant conversation how do i spell kovacovic that's a good point all right jokovic with the lead let's see if kovacovic can continue to hold serve all right as kovacovic comes to the net with a forehand winner nice got a backwards cap on now late in human style boom thanks chat um okay 15 love as kovacovic kovacovic serves it's hard to say serving to the foreign drop which turn goes in the foreign kovacovic as he hits it out again kovacovic few errors but i mean look he has to go for his winners he can't just sit back and rally with jokovic because not many players can do that so he's trying to go for more than maybe he's comfortable with but that's the only way he's going to do something crazy 15 all first serve is a fault second serve second serve goes down to the back into jokovic turn into the foreign kovacovic jokovic with a slice forehand just gets it into the forehand of kovacovic as jokovic is back on the stretch kovacovic with the forehand get in the back end of jokovic kovacovic back hand to backhand now with no way no with a lovely drop shot kovacovic is going to get there with a slice but he hits a wide 15 30 just goes wide drop shot just a little too clean all right chancey for jokovic to get an early break 15 30 pair will win the fifth you reckon pair cruises with the crowd all right we'll see what's the score already is it already like three love oh it's two love okay 15 30 serve a let kovacovic wild crowd in parry yeah that's probably why there's no one in this crowd they're all watching pair play there's a bit why the back end jokovic return goes into the 400 kovacovic back in an oley sliced and there's kovacovic hits a forehand cross court jokovic gets it with his own forehand but he hits it out jokovic is 30 all still a chance though there's already no brits on the wta side and nori is about to lose so wait nori's the only brit left is he the only brit left evans lost draper's out mori's not here is nori the only brit left that's crazy that's the worst don't worry wimbledon's coming up soon there's someone you know you have some there there's a bit of slice there from cover 7 30 all here jokovic with a forehand to the back of the cover 7 into the 400 jokovic cover 7 to the front of the stretch into the front in oley that's just wide from jokovic cover 7 says yeah that was definitely i do not question me how's nori looking no it looks all right and that ball was oh it was good wow okay umpire calls it good which means we've got a break point 30 40 all right break point 30 40 cover 7 serves a fault second serve second serve into the back of the jokovic return to the front of cover 7 who hits it behind no le no le hits a wide nice play there from cover savage save the break point deuce all right we get the deuce so we've got three five setters going on at the moment and about to be four five setters because shapo's about to go to a fifth as well with uh with nakashima and as we deserve now cover savage backhand no le goes in for him from cover savage as a winner nice serve set out the forehand advantage cover savage cover savage to level things up here in the first set serves a fault second serve pair's crowd is building the umpire oh is that nearly a double fault but cover savage hits it on the line so does jokovic is he it's back and now down the line jokovic is cover savage scoops it up falling out from jokovic the back end of cover savage and in the back end of no le cover savage for the fine again at the back end of jokovic and the fine of cover savage just goes long and we're back to deuce just over hitting again cover savage but why are they booing nori he's the nicest guy so bad it's the french crowd they they boo everything any chance to make noise is the french crowd the paris crowd i don't know if we're gonna say french because french because uh i met someone from france and they said that uh people from paris are different to people from france there's paris and then there's france there's french and there's paris parisians and there's french it's different so i can't i don't think we can say the french crowd we're gonna be the the paris crowd as that goes in the net from jokovic advantage cover savage and i'm sure a lot of people that are french in the chat who are not from paris you're going yeah we're not the bloody same but you wouldn't say that because i that's australian but you'd say in a french accent i think it's always saying the new york crowd is all about is what americans are all like you know all the american crowds you're like no it's just new york it's louder it's a little different there advantage cover savage serving the fine of jokovic foreigner from cover savage to the back end of no le is cover savage it's a fine to the fine of no le into the back end of cover savage with jokovic it's a wide and cover savage holds after a little bit of a battle to two in the first 18 minutes played as well so it's been a long couple of games but that's what you expect when you watch jokovic he takes a while all right no later serve again it's like melburnians compared to the rest of australia you're not going to get me you're not going to get me juice you're not going to get me as we're nice out wide bang another good serve from jokovic good try though paris crowd is letting the umpire hear it on the pair match yeah that's what they've been saying vince well vince you're from france um i think right um are you from paris are you from uh are you from outside of paris is there a difference and if you are from paris do you see a difference you're from paris so is there a difference between people from paris and people from france like as in if you meet someone that's not from paris is there a different vibe jokovic serves 30 love as he serves another race all right bang 40 love 40 love when was the last time felix actually won a match that is a question that is uh on my mind sucks that we have to say it very different vibe okay there's been a foreign in the net nope it's a fault from no way second serve 20 minutes into this one as we're back in return from cover service the foreigner jokovic and that's good from jokovic three two stays in front um i'll be honest i'm proud of where i'm from but people from paris tend to be cranky okay i think that's anyone who lives in a city right if you're from this if you're from like a city the people like when i when i lived in london the people in london compared to the people in england there's a big difference because people in london are under the stress of the city and like cramped together and expensive rent and shitty weather it's nice when you have rain all the time if you're outside in like a country field you're probably gonna like things a bit better if it's even if it's raining then sitting next to somebody like this on the train when it's pissing down rain and you have to go to your job that you're not a fan of you know it's probably uh the stress right i'm sure people that live in the city in melbourne are more cranky than the people that live outside please cover macerober versus goth that's tomorrow right maybe tomorrow's i look chat the schedule's out for tomorrow i don't know what's gonna what we're gonna watch because i mean i know what we're gonna watch but i don't know who exactly we're gonna watch because tomorrow's schedule is not as exciting as i thought the matches are kind of a little bit randomish the night matches another french match and again it's another men's match which i'm sure once if they have five men's matches in a row people are gonna kick up a stink mom feces versus baez which definitely deserves a night match but when are they gonna put a ladies match on uh for the night sessions um but you've got robacken versus fru vatobi you've got schvonzeck versus buksa you've got rude versus ima which is fun masserober goth medi versus wild which i think might be a tricky match harris versus varev u banks versus runa on drescu versus azarenka they're on the main courts um you've got krujikovar on the outside courts against surenco you've got uh fritz versus moe outside as well um yeah i'm looking around i don't know if they're gonna have they're gonna have other matches on tomorrow they're just having they're having doubles tomorrow too is that start tomorrow or they go because it says here other matches are like undefined to be determined and it's like well what's that mean or is it junior start tomorrow i'm not sure anyways love 15 as kruvicevich serves a false second serve they always prior to other french players oh yeah but certainly ozzy's i mean tom anovich will play on rod laberina on a night session because she's an ozzy right so they're obviously gonna they're gonna put the french on the center court as that goes out especially on the first couple of days moe feces like i mean moe feces on the center court i mean that of course that's gonna be but uh i wonder once the french start to like you know once they start to lose the french crowd i wonder if they're gonna put like if she doesn't get a night session because she's been you know saying hey you know what about a night session for the ladies um i wonder if they're gonna give her an defending champion i wonder if they're gonna give her a night session match as we're to find out from kruvicevich that goes wide 15 30 by the way let's pick upset of the day chat we haven't done that yeah well what do you think upset of the day is going to be who's going to be the upset of the day we picked yesterday we got yesterday right with sakary but um by the way shapa got a medical time out oh no shapo what are you doing and so does uh was it song as well in the fifth against verales anyways kruvicevich gets the point it's 30 mevvedev's gonna know today today's upset of the day schwarzman isn't the upset i can't be an upset nori i mean nori's a little bit too easy to pick now because it's already in a third set it's already in a fifth set yeah i don't know i mean who what's upset of the day feast meaning for kina yeah i mean i was thinking like top 10 upset of the day top tenor of the day which top 10 player has a might i get lost uh you get upset today as we're gonna back end that goes out from kruvicevich 30 40 we're at top 10 upset of the day i'll give you the names who are playing so you're jokovic el kras on the men's side um f a a i mean f a a right it's gotta be felix but even though he's already losing i mean i feel like we can i feel f a a we would have said f a a an hour ago so back in the line of the fine of jokovic back in out from kovicevich so break point for nole is we're to find a fine rally kovicevich in the form of jokovic in the form of kovicevich into the form of jokovic as kovicevich is the slice on the stretch no le in control forehand inside out that's a great shot from no le there's the break for two jokovic in the first um yeah so i mean felix who else is there that could be an upset of the day um i'd keep an eye on bench it's just because she hasn't played maybe she i mean garcia she's playing against wong who is not uh wong is uh i mean i don't know if she's a clay quarter but she can be decent maria my tady on marita being hadaj maya probably maybe not no maybe probably not sinna losing sinna you reckon sinna would be upset and upset today sinna losing a mulla i mean maybe playing against a chocky orado losing a bitty kovinova probably do you think that could happen ostapenko martin cobra probably not uh yeah i guess f a a is probably the big one right f a a and garcia are probably the ones that are the most vulnerable as jokovic is just 15 love pair is tired i mean he hasn't played i can't remember him playing that much tennis now he's playing a five setter i mean it's never gonna be easy now 15 love there's been a back-and-return now from cover seven to the foreign jokovic who hits a winner 30 love 30 love no i don't i don't think mulla beats sinna oh then why'd you say sinna no he's losing to the crowd to be honest yeah any french person playing in france is you know the french open is always going to have an advantage as a return from cover 17 there 40 love 27 minutes into this one are we watching this very match is that today or tomorrow tomorrow i don't know i don't know what we're watching yep have to wait and see this is like completely different jokovic to what we've seen lately um i mean yeah i guess but i mean the Australian open this year showed that as he had to win a no way five two first set i mean jokovic to the Australian open was the same way you know coming in we're like oh he looks a little dodgy and then you know after a couple of days he was just like kicking everyone's ass and it was no grand slam no way is a different it's a thing chat grand slam no way is a thing pair wins this one i'd put money on him retiring in the next round yeah that could happen i think if pair beats nori oh he probably doesn't go on to do anything else he's not going to go on a fairytale run i don't think if he's going to play five setters uh speaking of five setters we've got four five set matches currently live uh we've got nori versus pair borales versus song morales versus schwarzman and chapeau versus nakashima so four or five setters in a going on at the moment actively which is madness that yet we get four or five setters going at the same time right and one straight sets uh well straightforward match at the moment with jokovic five two another funny one is for nini what about for nini well for nini's got a set against f a a stand in that ramus finoles are at six six uh tiebreak first set you've got daniel up a set and a break against o'connell if the winner of that will pay alcaraz you've got rba against woo he's up a set and a break you've got poprin trying to win the second set against carats of who won the first set um and then no matches actually no parks and von drussever adjusted the court which i'm intrigued by that match i want to see what that looks like as he serves a folk cover seven second serve how you doing cam everything good mate yeah everything's good can't complain as we get a let on the second serve this is a double elimination tournament what do you mean by that as we to serve into the foreign jokovic you hits it wide on the return 15 love for me it's a big upset if pair wins versus nori um maybe for you but i don't i mean look a lot of a lot of you know people were thinking that i think didn't guild growth say that that could be um well he said it was gonna be five sets and the man was right but he said it was gonna like that could have been an upset because we know pair in front of his home crowd gets a little more motivation so i don't know if it's a big upset i'm not i'm not surprised that that's how it's going we all know when pair has something to play for he plays pretty well when he gives a shit 40 love cover savage when pair gives a shit he uh he can play some tennis and nori hasn't been great lately you know nori got destroyed by jokovic you know nori hasn't been the same guy he was sort of at the start of the hard clay court season as that goes in the net from no like and cover savage holds his serve it's five three no like seven for the first set um yeah i'm not i'm not shocked at that result i mean yesterday with hashenov going down two sets of love that was a biggest shock that was probably the biggest shock so far um yeah you're too nice for tattoos don't degrade your skin too late sorry too late i'm trying to get i'm getting tattoos so then i can like break the perception that you have to have a certain personality to have tattoos like you can have tattoos and you don't have to be like aggressive or whatever because apparently that's a similar thing that people so i'm getting them to prove a point that you can be nice and also have like drawings on your skin um 15 love you don't have to be aggressive you have tattoos luckily hashenov made a comeback yeah thank god for my predictions whoof anyways 15 love jokovic three points away from the first set serving the phone of cover savage great return and it's jokovic hits it out nice return from cover savage 15 oh i think men with tattoos are cool but that's just me 15 oh fair enough i've been on the chat anyone got tattoos i feel like tattoos in tennis are slowly becoming a thing but it was never really a thing because tennis was such like a proper sport that people were with tattoos i mean only the last 10 years people with tattoos in sports even like in the 20 even like does anyone remember alan ivison is it a backhand going to the volley of jokovic put it away 30 15 anybody know uh ai the answer even when he had tattoos he was like the guy who pioneered tattoos in sport back in like the 90s like making it sort of you know if you wear it if you have tattoos it doesn't mean you're you know you're gonna you know you're a thug or anything and then all the NBA stars have tattoos and now now tennis players i mean looking near keros right he's got tattoos he's got public with tattoos a lot of the ladies have tattoos as well you know sabalinka being one of those we're gonna find a fine rally that goes out from cover savage 40 15 soccer players yeah they got tattoos david beckham right probably he probably was the one who uh who ever popularized tattoos in uh football the dude married a freaking spice girl yeah denise rubman you're right 40 15 and jokovic serves with the first set he serves a fault second serve ai uh ai was definitely a pioneer yeah for sure go watch the documentary on netflix about alan ivison very very interesting yes fidelina's got tattoos for sure all right serve into the back end of cover savage for now from jokovic the corner cover savage into the corner jokovic has a good shot cover savage with a slice that goes into the corner no late the back and cover savage as jokovic's backhand goes and the farther cover savage jokovic with a back end again as cover savage hits it again to the back end of no layers cover savage goes back in the back and now with a foreign cover savage again to the back of the jokovic a bit of a moon ball from no lee trying to mix it up as cover savage gets it back forehand now from cover savage again to the back end of jokovic and no led to the slice of cover savagebetween the back end down the line cover prevent by the forehand in the net there's a rally And there's the first set, Djokovic, 6-3. Long rally to finish the first set, but 35 minutes. Pretty standard, 6-3, one break. And Djokovic takes the first set of the French Open for him. Relatively simply. Kirios, Sabalenka, Bublik, Herzog, the list goes on. Oh, yeah, Von Drussever, right. Nadal and Federer and Nolay don't have tattoos. Yeah, but they're from a generation that doesn't, I mean, they're, what, they're mid to late, like mid to late 30s. So they kind of miss that kind of the trend, or tattoo trend that is currently happening. It seems like people that have tattoos, like, I mean, Sam growth had tattoos or has tattoos when he was playing, you know. It's like the Andy Roddick era and Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, like those guys, Dimitrov. I feel like those guys kind of, well, on the end of, like, got rid of the, like, didn't get the tattoos. Yeah, Federer's got tattoos, yeah. Federer's a bit more wild, though. Tattoo is a low grade. Wow. Everyone's got an opinion. And my opinion is that is wrong. Pfft, bad take. Hey, Kovacevich, name is pronounced Kovac, Kovac, Kovacovic. Please don't spam. That's what I thought it was, too, but then I Googled it and it's pronounced. Well, let me have a, let me triple check, maybe I got it wrong. Let me have a check. Because I wanted to get this right, because I know it's, for keenering it up for a while. Alexander Kovacevich. Kovacevich. Thank you for the confirmation. Luckily, we only had one set of me saying it wrong. Kovacevich. There you go. He wrote it right. Yeah, Kovacevich. Was I saying Kovacevich at the start and then as soon as we get into the rallies, I'm saying Kovacevich? Did I say Kovacevich at the start of the stream? I feel like I must have changed it. I flipped it. I was saying it right, then I went back to saying it wrong because I was trying to speak fast. What was the member spamming? Yeah, look, even if you're a member, it doesn't give you right to just do whatever you hell you want. Like, I appreciate you being a member, but also the rules still apply. Spamming is spamming, so please don't spam. If you're a member or a first-time chatter, don't spam because the rules don't, like, you know, you're not above the rules. Rules are rules. Spamming's annoying, even if you do have a badge next to your name. I'm sorry. Am I watching Arthur Feastmatch today? Probably not. Fondres of a tattoos look like prison tattoos. Hey, look, everybody has tattoos. Icy tattoos is like, like art and like expression. So she has, like, that's her style, right? You know, she likes them. They might not be for everybody, but not everybody likes everything. All right, Kovaciewicz goes in the back of Djokovic. Kovaciewicz with the hand over the forehand into the forehand slice of Nole, as Nole hits it long. Kovaciewicz, 15 love. One of the reasons we love you, Cam. Thank you, Amanda. 15 love. As he serves a fault, Kovaciewicz, second serve. Wait, it's Kovaciewicz? Am I saying it right now? I'm gonna go back to default when I'm saying Kovaciewicz. Because I'm Australian and I can't speak English. As that goes in the net, 15 all. Kovaciewicz, see, I can't, it's going to go back to default mode. 15 all. Kovaciewicz. I think what, Drew, has got a kid to draw tattoos. I said, what if she did? What if it was her niece on FU? And those tattoos have so much meaning to her that, yeah, we might not think they're nice looking or we might not appreciate them, but it's personal. They all mean something. I mean, some of the worst tattoos, some of the ones of the most meaning. If I had a kid, and they drew a picture of a house on my arm, a picture of something on my arm, and I got that tattooed, it might not look good to you, but it means a lot to me, you know what I mean? So don't, maybe I'll judge everybody's tattoos. You know, I've got a, you know, she has tattoos that have meaning. Whatever the meaning is, it's personal for her, you know? All right, Kovaciewicz serves a double fault. I know it's 30 all. It's 30 all. The Brits and Aussie commentators usually butcher the names apart from you, Cam. Oh, no, no, I butcher them too. I'm not above butchering names. In fact, I try and do it often so that chat gets triggered. So, there's an ace from Kovaciewicz. Tattoos are a sign of insecurity. Dude, you are getting worse with your, with your, with your takes. Just say, I don't like tattoos. You don't have to get like, you know, personal. 40, 30, serves a double fault. That's a shame. He went for this with an ace and then he went with a double fault. You make more effort than some do, Cam. No, look, I try and get it right but I'm also not above getting it wrong and then people can tell me in the chat and correct me if I'm wrong. All right, back to Deuce as Kovaciewicz tries to survive this first game. Deuce has been to serve another backhand of Kovaciewicz to the backhand of Kovaciewicz who smacks a winner down the line. We love a one-handed down the line. That's a hell of a shot, advantage Kovaciewicz. Yeah, the schedule's out for tomorrow. If you want to go check it out. That's his sixth winner, Kovaciewicz. Might as well serve, that's a fault. Second serve, 42 minutes played. Well, when Nori's back in the match, 4-4 in the fifth. God, that's an epic. Has been a four-and-aft from Kovaciewicz. That's a winner. Back to Deuce. Quantum and high math calculations, I understand. Not tattoos and smoking. Well, we don't advocate smoking. Don't put tattoos and smoking in the same category. That's not the same. Drawing on your body and inhaling chemicals. That's totally different. Leave my... Unless you get like a shitty tattoo artist that like ruins, like gets something, like gives you some dodgy poison. Like, smoking is not the same as tattoos. Come on, let's just compare. Let's just like, that's smoking and alcohol. And then there's tattoos, all right? Advantage Kovaciewicz. By the way, the umpire is saying Kovaciewicz. So the umpire is making, is the umpire getting it wrong too? He's like Kovaciewicz. Maybe that's why I'm going to default mode because I'm hearing the umpire say Kovaciewicz. Kovaciewicz. With the advantage, he serves out why the backhand of Djokovic, Foynac Kovaciewicz. And the backhand of Djokovic is, we're going to find a backhand exchange. Not a lot of backhands from Noley because Kovaciewicz is going after it. Then he hits it probably wide. And it's Deuce. I can't go hand in hand. I don't smoke. Never have smoked. Deuce. Mark smokes. Well, don't smoke. Smoking's not good for you. That's unhealthy. But so is eating chocolate. So I mean, who the hell am I to tell you what to do? As we get a serve, that's a fault. Take a serve. My MJ tattoos are so expensive. That's why I only have three. I wish I had more, but I can't afford it. Backhand deadline into the foint of Kovaciewicz. Djokovic goes in the backhand of Kovaciewicz. Kovaciewicz hits it wide. And it's advantage Noley. You think I look like a half finished art piece. Like, I'm just like... I drew halfway and I gave up because I ran out of money. I'm like a DIY project, you know? I'm like, hey, I'm gonna go renovate my house and I get halfway through, run out of money and just live in a shack. You know, that's what my arm is. My arm is an unfinished renovation. Advantage Djokovic. It's like a bathroom without tiles. As we had a foint now from Kovaciewicz. Sliced from Noley's in. Kovaciewicz with the foint. Slice into the foint of Djokovic as Kovaciewicz hits the backhand. Into the backhand of Noley. Foint out from Kovaciewicz in the net. There's the break. Djokovic, one love in the second. Noley's looking pretty mellow today. I think he just knows that today I just gotta go. It's like a Monday. Noley's in Monday mode. He's like, I just gotta go to work. Make sure I just don't do anything silly. Get through the day, you know? Not celebrate. It's only Monday, you know? Let's not lose our minds. That's what he's in. He's in a Monday mood. He's Djokovic today. All right. A sleeve is like 22,500 bucks? Yeah, it is. It's expensive. It's help. I smoke and I love it. That's all right. Again, you do. You do you. This is a stand-in Monday mood Djokovic. Like, hey, just rock up. Do my work. Go home. Gilgrace is spot on about Pear versus Noley. Yeah, the dude, well, of course he was. Of course he was. He's a Gilgrace knows his tennis. I was like, Gilgrace is on. I think I saw him on Twitter today. He said that he's actually on tennis channel doing some calls today. So you might actually hear Gilgrace on the tennis channel coverage today, which is awesome. It's great when YouTube meets whatever, you know, normal TV, what do you call it? It's a good time. Anyways, Djokovic up a set in a break in the backhand from Kovacovic in the net. Yeah, but mainstream. That's what I was thinking, yeah. YouTube meets mainstream. He got my job. No, he didn't. I don't want a job. I'm happy to be, I love being unemployed. Have I met Gilgrace? Yeah, we collaborated on, we were on the Quality Shots YouTube channel at the end of last year. 30 Love, but the hardest part is like time zones and, I mean, we're all just so busy. It's the hardest part. But I'd love to do more videos with. Well, I mean, Farzan from Quality Shot, we've chatted a few times if you've been overheat there. Gil's such a nice guy. Yeah, he's great. Do you think you would collaborate with Aussie commentators like Todd Woodbridge? Maybe. I mean, will Todd Woodbridge stoop down to the YouTube level? That's a thing. I feel like maybe mainstream might not come to YouTube, but YouTube goes to mainstream. Luckily, tennis channel international understand the power of YouTube. As that goes in the net, 30, 15. I feel like Todd Woodbridge is a little too, maybe he might be too like corporate mainstream. You know what I mean? I don't know if he'd be willing to come down to our level. But hey, who knows? Tattoos add nothing good like a stain, dude. You are gonna get roasted, mate. Are you ready? Should I roast you? As we're to find now into the find of Kovacovic, as Jokovic is the find of the back of the Kovacovic, and that's in the net from Kovacovic, 40, 15. Dude, you do realize I have tattoos and everything you're saying is just directly insulting me, not to mention everybody in the chat that has tattoos. You're pretty much coming in here and insulting a lot of people. So just chill. And I'm not taking it personal, but I can't say that for the chat. 40, 15. Just be cool. As we're to volley there into the find of Kovacovic, and it shanked out, it's too love, Jokovic. You don't have to like tattoos, but let's just chill. By the way, RBA's up two sets of love against Woo-Woo. Also, Nori's got match points. Let's go. Shappo's up 4-1 in the fifth against Nakashima. And Morales and Schwarzman are 4-4 in the fifth as well. All right, two love. As we're to serve out wide, that's a fault. Second serve, two love, Jokovic. One in the first six, three. Nori wins. Nori wins. As we're to find out from Kovacovic, that's a good shot up, goes a lob there from Nole. But it goes long. 15 love, Kovacovic. Also, Vondrusova up a break, 3-2 against Parkes. Daniel is up against O'Connell, two sets of love. Vrinko on the first set against Ramos for Nole's. Fanini's up a set in a break in his FAA. Did Felix go down two sets of love last French open? Chat, where's the Canadians at? Is that goes in there from Jokovic, 30 love? 30 love. Where's that guy that said Pear was smoking Nori in the third set? Hey look, we can't all get them right. All right, 30 love. First serve is a fault, second serve. I think it's safe to say that Pear just ran out of gas in the end. As he serves the back of the Jokovic, back in a Kovacovic, goes long and it's 30-15. 30-15. Can't believe the crowd booed Nori, poor losers. I gotta be honest, Chat. French crowd had taken Ls, mate. Yesterday, Massive L with the whole Kostuk thing. But then booing someone for beating the guy that you play, like your guy, just classless. It's just trash, mate. Yeah, be unhappy that your guy lost, but don't boo the guy who beat your guy. Just get over it. Don't cheer him at all. Don't boo him. Just classless. I think we had a last, was it last French open or the one before that the same thing happened? The crowd were booing the players that were beating their favorites and you're like, get over it, you losers. Shut the hell up. Yeah, it's not even disrespectful. It's just like, you just saw losers. Shut up. When Aussies lose to people, we don't cry and we don't boo the person who beat our guy. It's like, get stuff. So it's so stupid. That's two stupid things that the French crowd have done this week. As we're to serve now, the four-hand of Jokovic. Rotem goes into the four-hand of Kovacovic. 30 all here, Nori looking for a double break. As we're to find a four-hand rally, Jokovic on the stretch puts up the lob, swinging volley from Kovacovic goes wide. That's a shame. Just missed it. 30, 40. Nori giving them a smile. Good. Nori should just give him this one. They're like, hey, crowd, I got something for ya. 30, 40. You imagine? 30, 40. As Kovacovic serves. Down to see the four-hand of Nolay, four-hand from Kovacovic. He's good. Jokovic gets up with a sliced lob. Kovacovic puts down the smash. Jokovic can't get it. Kovacovic survives. Back to deuce. Here we'll probably get a fine for that. Oh yeah, for sure. I mean, if you do anything, like, slide. I mean, the crowd can boo and swear and yell at you for free because they paid a ticket to be there, but the players can't react because they will get fined like thousands of dollars. That's stupid to that. It's like, hey, by the way, you can't react to the crowd abusing you. Because they paid $50 to be there. So you can't say anything, otherwise we'll find you thousands. You're like, yeah, that's fair. That makes sense. Yeah, you can never ride off the dock. Yeah. Now, good for Nori. I'm just a worried now because he's gonna have to play Elkrez if he keeps winning, and is he gonna have any gas when he plays him? Now he's got the worst next player too, right? It's gonna be bad in the next round. It's gonna, it's good practice. As that goes out from Jokovic, Nori plays against Pui, and Pui is like the fairytale of the event because of what he's gone through and how he's come through the event. I mean, Pair was tough. Pui is gonna be worse. Like that's gonna be even a worse crowd. At least Nori knows what to do. He's gonna have to go back to back because Pair's the favorite entertainer, one of the favorite entertainers. Pui is like the feel-good story, or like the fairytale run. So Nori's got, Nori, that was like a warm-up for Nori. Back end to back end. There's been a four now from Jokovic, four now from Kovacovic. Into the four of Nole, Kovacovic hits a slice. Jokovic's slice drop shot is too good. This is so silky smooth. FAA is injured, who's, what, is he like in the match or just in general? He's about to go down to assess the love. All right, back to Deuce, lovely drop shot from Nole, just sliced it. No one needs to get used to getting booed. Yeah, now the Pui match is gonna be crazy because Pui, I mean, not enough's being said about Luca Pui's run to this, getting to this, like getting through the tournament. I mean, we get a double folk in the match, which I read on Twitter, if Pui was in America and it was in US open and he was American, there would be so much more being talked about Luca Pui. But because he's from France and it's French and he's French open, it's not getting enough coverage, but the man being ranked in the top 10, having all the glory and then battling with alcohol, I mean, it's a crazy story that he's back. He's gonna find out from Djokovic down the line to the back end of Kovacovic, into the back end of Nole, as Kovacovic hits the back end again to the back end of Djokovic, Kovacovic finds out the line, it's a winner, there you go. All right, Kovacovic gets on the board to, sorry, saves the game and gets back to Deuce. Doesn't go down a double break. Yeah, Pui was top 10, wasn't he? I swear he was top 10 at some point. He was number, yeah, he was number 10 back in 2018. Drop shot there from Kovacovic, Djokovic gets it, and then Kovacovic puts it away, advantage Kovacovic. Yeah, 2018, he made the semifinals of the Australian Open in 2019. 2016, he made the U.S. and Wimbledon quarterfinals, and then yeah, 2018, he was number 10 in the world. So yeah, he was, and he was also one of the only players that has had a female head coach. He had, Amelie Moresma was coaching him. So he was only one of them, only ATP players that actually had a WTA legend coaching him at one point or another. You don't see it very often, as we had a slice there from Pui, from, we're not watching him, he's got it back with Tad, I got confused. As Djokovic hits the forehand wide and Kovacovic goes on the board. Two-one, Djokovic with a break in the second. Oh, no chat. Fnini's down, oh sorry, Fnini's up, two sets of love, FAA is down. Also the five-setters are all completed, all getting complete. Schwarzman beat Morales, which sucks for my fan slam. He beats him a five-setter, Nori beats Pair, Morales beats Song and also Schapo up a break in the fifth against Nakashima. Damn it, Morales, that's a good win for Schwarzman. He's been terrible lately, so that's actually a big win because Morales has been the opposite. He's been very good lately. So a good win for Schwarzman. Does anyone even expect Felix to fight for this? I mean, Felix will fight, but will he come back? That's the question, right? When was the last time the French men's player won Roland Garros? Back in like the 80s. Yannick Noah was the last Frenchman to win the French Open on the men's side. Been a while, but I'm back. Welcome back, Art Project. How are you doing? Okay, Nole up a set and a break. But Khabachov is just putting up a fight. You know, he's not rolling over and dying just yet. Yeah, 40 years. So they had like a big ceremony at the start of the tournament because it's been a 40-year anniversary of a French success on the men's side. I think the last, wasn't the last French woman, Mary Pierce, or was that someone else since then? I think Mary Pierce was the last one, 40 years. I mean, it's not as bad as the Australian Open, but it's not great. How crazy is it, Chat? You want to feel old? Probably not. 20 years ago this year, Andy Roddick won the US Open. The last American to win the US Open. 40 years ago, the last Frenchman won the French Open. So it's been like, I mean, Roddick not winning the, sorry, an American not winning at the US Open on the men's side is like, back in 2003, we were gone. Shit, a Frenchman after that won for a while. Now it's like the same things happen for the Americans in America. It's crazy. And then on the men's side for the Australian Open, it was back when, you know, television wasn't even invented. It was back when tennis was on the radio, 15 laughs. Now it was when was it like 1970, 72 or something? Has been a volley there from Djokovic, winner? When was the last Australian male? I know who it was, but was it in 73 or 70? When did Mark Edmondson win? I think it was 70s. Now back in 70, 76, so it's almost been 50 years on a chat. Oh God, it's getting worse, Chat. Has been disturbed now, the forward of Kovacovic, good return. This Djokovic gets a slice from the back of the Kovacovic, into the back of Nolay, Nolay in the net for 30, 15. 45 years, Chat, it's been 87 years. God, I feel like the lady on the Titanic. It's been 89, it's been 87 years, it's been 84 years. It will be 84 years by the time it happens. 30, 15 to be disturbed now, the back of Kovacovic, that's in the net, but it's a fault from Nolay. Layton made it to the final in 0-5, but he didn't win it. Layton was supposed to win in 2005, my favorite. That's when I seriously started getting into tennis, by the way, 2005, and that was because of Layton Hewitt. So shout out to my favorite player of all time, Layton, we love you. If it wasn't for Layton Hewitt, none of this might, none of this would have existed, Chat. I might have become a, I might have watched something else, I don't know. So yeah, get Layton on the stream, yeah. Who won in 2005, Marit Saffron, beat Layton in the final. I don't want to talk about it. So that's why the forward of Kovacovic sliced there from Djokovic, the backhand slice of Kovacovic. Again, the forward of Djokovic is Kovacovic gets it, forward of Nolay down the line is Kovacovic hits a slice into the backhand of Nolay, drop shot is not great. Kovacovic gets it, but the volley is too good from Nolay, but it's not great. So that's why the forward of Kovacovic Kovacovic gets it, but the volley is too good from Nolay, three-one, Djokovic in the second. You might still be working architecture. Tennis channel doesn't even have Nolay game on, I'm pissed. Don't they? Who are they watching? Nakashima, Shapo? How do they not have Kovacovic? He's American, that's crazy. Oh, do they have parks? Is parks being shown on tally? Curious, wouldn't have bought in, you in. What do you mean? Wouldn't have bought me in where? A Brit winning Wimbledon is even worse than Aussie winning Australian Open. What? Like it's been, it was way longer? Yeah. Yeah, the time between British success at the front at the Wimbledon was way longer, but you got Andy Murray now. I mean, Andy Murray was the last player on the men's side of winning his home, home tournament. So you can't cry. I don't want to hear it. Just wait 50 years and then, can you imagine? I mean, being an Australian right now, it's like, it's stupid. Like we've had one champion in almost like half a lifetime. You know what I mean? Like I might, I mean, we have Barty, so I can't cry too much, but on the men's side, like I've never seen an Australian man lift the trophy. You could be 45 years old and you've never seen it. Then again, you could be 40 years old on the Frenchman and you've never seen it either. So I mean, cry less. As we're back in out of the point of Gavatchivis that goes in the net, you're gonna be 18 years old and be like, I never saw Roddick. So we can all cry. Home success is only getting harder too, because tennis is so, so many countries are getting into, like representing tennis, right? 15-30, you have doubles champions. I know, but we got Barty. That's why I was so emotional when Barty won last year, because I was like, finally, finally, some Aussie success in my lifetime. There's been a backhand winner there from Jokovic. No, Gavatchivis gets it, but it goes wide. It's 15-40, Jokovic gone for the double break. One day, chat, one day someone will win something. So Aussie may a winner for AO and French Open a more than 40 years ago. I don't even remember the last French Open Australian, French Open champion on the men's side. But then again, Barty saved us there. Barty, thank God for Barty. And that's why it's so sad she's gone, because Barty was like, she was the last Australian to win Wimbledon. She's the last Australian to win the French. The last Australian to win the Australian Open. So she rewrote all the records and then she pieced out, which really sucks, because it feels like she would have been like, yeah, she was just getting started, chat. Australian's better at swimming, true. 30-40, Agassi for the US. Yeah, I mean, kind of imagine. US used to dominate everything. There's been a backhand now from Nole. There's the winner, there's the double break, four-one. But Americans have so many chances now. I mean, you've got Fritz, you've got Tiapo, you've got, like, I mean, the list goes on. On the men's side, we don't have that many contenders for the, like, Alex Domino winning the Australian Open, it would be a very fairytale story, but not a realistic one, you know? You've got so many chances if you're American. Even France, French, there's a lot more French players that could win the French Open in the next decade than Aussies winning the Australian. And then the Brits, I mean, you got Draper. So, you know. Aussies are better in rugby. Yeah, all right. They're not bad. Imagine how Barty would have competed the likes of Sabalenka and Rabakina. Yeah, well, she had a great rivalry with Sabalenka. Her and Sabalenka, they were a good, it was always a good matchup. And we were lucky enough to watch a couple of those matches in 2021. We watched her play Rabakina a few times too, Chat. I don't know if you remember, some of you might not have been here, but we did watch her play Rabakina and it wasn't very competitive because Rabakina hadn't quite kind of figured out her game. And we also watched Barty play Shafiontek twice. So we're pretty lucky that we did get those matches. Unfortunately, Barty didn't play Rabakina Shafiontek the current versions, but she did play a pretty good Sabalenka back in the day. So, I mean, if she had played Sabalenka today, probably would still be very competitive and Barty would still maybe get a win over her. But yeah, Barty didn't really, we didn't get to see the best of Barty play against the best Shafiontek and the best Rabakina. We didn't even really get to see her play the best Serena, unfortunately. She played Serena when she was sort of young in her career, but Barty Serena didn't cross pards when they were sort of up the top, which is a shame. All right, 4-1 here. I guess it's kind of same as like saying Elkhra is a Federer. We don't get to see them, right? That sucks, you know? We didn't get to see the best Federer play Elkhra as they just missed each other. They took a double break here, 4-1, back into 4-1 rally as Kovacovic shanks it long and it's 15-love. What's up, London lady? How you doing? Who's a girl in the Shapo camp? Probably his misses. Well, like Shapo wins. Nori wins. Schwartzman wins. FAA's down. Two sets of love and a break, dude. That is depressing. Uncle Tony got to go. Uncle Tony's got to go. 15-love, make that 30-love. Another race for Djokovic. 6th, 8th, 8th of the day. Look at his first 0% in the chat. 87, God dang. That's fire. 30-love. Looks like Elkhra isn't Nadal will only play once. The Elkhra isn't Nadal comparison. Does anyone else, can somebody name a similar situation that happened 20 years ago that might be similar? Can anyone name it? Can anyone give me the answer that I'm thinking? Kind of reminds me of something that happened back in 2001. 30-love has been back in our return, going into the forehand of Djokovic, for now from Kovacovic, into the forehand of Nole, into the slice of Kovacovic and Djokovic, puts away the winner, 40-love. Yeah, Samper is Federer at Wimbledon, right? That was the little overlap. It only happened once. It was an epic match. Well, yeah, it might be, but we're lucky that we've had Elkhra versus Djokovic, sorry, Elkhra versus Nadal twice, though. The first one wasn't great, but the second one was an epic. So, actually, sorry, three times. Three times. They played three times, I think, right? So we have had our fix of that, as we get a, oh, a loving return for Kovacovic. Unbelievable, unbelievable. Now, 40-15. I mean, Djokovic, Elkhra has only played once till now. They might never play again. I mean, who knows, right? We don't know how long Djokovic has got. We don't know if they're gonna get to the finals of slams together. We hope they do, but if it's only one time Djokovic, Elkhra, as we see play, I mean, it was a hell of a time. It was a hell of a match in Madrid last year. So they played at Indian Wells, Madrid, and then they also played the year before in Madrid. Two Madrids in Indian Wells, right? I think that's, I'm not missing, am I missing something? There's been a drop shot there from Nolay, but Kovacovic is there with a slice. Djokovic is there with his four-hand down the line. No, it's too good. Five-one Nolay, five-one Djokovic. Right, they've only played three times, I think. So actually completely disregard what I said. It's got nothing to do with anything. Benchage is on at the moment. We've got Elkhra's coming on after the Benchage match. Stay tuned, serve is a fault, take a serve. I didn't know Shapo was married. I don't think he is married, he's just got a girlfriend. Well, fiance, I don't know if they, I don't know what's going on. Has there been a four-hand down the middle, down the line, sorry, to the back of Nolay, four-hand from Kovacovic? Here's a winner, lovely shot. 15 love, FA is terrible, playing terrible, can't watch anymore. Uncle Tony, he's gone backwards, FA, he's gone backwards, Felix. I mean, last year he met the French open fourth round, he played five sets against Rafa. So to lose first round in straight sets to Fanini, who's like 45 years old. Yeah, Fanini's good, but Fanini shouldn't beat, FA shouldn't lose in straight sets to Fanini ever. Like that's crazy. That's just crazy. That should not be happening. Kenny, you must be up late. Dude, I was up until six in the morning last night, this is normal, this is normal madness. 40 love, it's only 11 PM, it's actually pretty early. He's like 35 to be honest. But yeah, okay, well 45, you know, whatever. But then I feel like Fanini's 35 is not the same as Kovacovic, A7T, all right, Kovacovic makes Kovacovic serve it out. Like let's be real, Fanini is older than Kovacovic physically, like Fanini has got like two ankle replacements. He's got like, you know, he's been around for a hell of a lot longer than Kovacovic, it feels. Whereas Nolay looks like he's like just turned 30, right? Yeah, he gets injured, but so do a lot of, you know, 30 year olds, but Fanini looks about 40. Like he's way, even though he's, yeah, okay. He's younger, but like, he's at the stage of his, he's at the end of his career. Whereas Kovacovic, we're like, oh, he's still going. You know what I mean? It feels like Fanini is way further down the line. And that's why Felix shouldn't be losing a bloody Fanini. Oh, like, no, no, he shouldn't be losing in straight sets. He should be getting at least a set. But then again, Felix did come in with an injury. So maybe that's got something to do with the result. Happy National Biscuit Day. That sounds delicious. I did not, no, I did not have any biscuits today. Yeah, Fanini has been around forever. Do you think Feast is gonna take out Fakina? I think that's a five setter. And the crowd might tip him over the edge. So maybe, yeah. Gil Gross predicted that Fanini was gonna beat Felix. Yeah, so did I. We all, I mean, most people did. So did the chat. And that's great for like, you know, my ego. That's great. Go check out the predictions video. I got one right. I should have said Zachary just to make my... I was gonna pick Zachary in FAA, but in the predictions chat, I wanted to go with Goff because I feel like Goff, not many people were gonna pick Goff to lose in the first week. And I think it's a bigger shock that defending finalist loses early. You know what I mean? I didn't wanna make it easy. I could just be like boring and be like, I was boring. I was boring by saying Djokovic and Sfiantec win the tournament, but I didn't wanna be boring with every prediction I made, you know? I didn't wanna be like, you know, oh, I think somebody with a really tough first round opponent will lose. Of course. So I went with Goff, which is a little bit out there. You know, I'm a little nervous. I don't think, I mean, she could make me look stupid by winning. Do I watch Gilgrove? I watch a little bit. I don't watch, like, I don't watch much tennis content. I just don't have time. There's been a volley there from Djokovic, which goes wide and it's 15 all. Yeah, I don't really, I don't watch all of his stuff, but I do watch, like I watch a lot of his YouTube short videos that pop up on my feed. Just give me the highlights, but, and I did see him give, well, give a nice shout out the other week, which was funny when he started commentating one of the matches. That was fun. Now, great dude. And smart. He knows all the, he knows his stuff. I mean, whatever, whatever Gil says, he's not usually wrong, 30, 15. Yeah, a lot of people, maybe we might do, I might have to reach out to Gil again and be like, and see when he's free and we might have to do something. Might have to do something during the, maybe after the, after Wimbledon, when things are a little, little, little quieter, maybe we'll do like a, a season review or something. I don't know, have to reach out to, reach out to Gil and have a chat. Cause he's right, he's at the French open, or he's doing the French open coverage right now. So he's busy. So that goes in the net from Kovacovic and it's 40, 15. Two more set points for Djokovic to take the second set, take us to a third, two sets of luck. 40, 15. And then as we default, second serve. Second serve. Now why the front of Kovacovic is a let, 40, 15. And as we just served down to the back end of Kovacovic for now, Noley, into the back end of Kovacovic, again the front of Noley is Kovacovic hits it out. There's the two sets of lovely for Djokovic. And again, like I said, today's, it's on Monday. Monday in the office for Djokovic, just walking in, you know, clocking on, saying hi, how's your weekend? How you been? What'd you get up to? How the kids? And then getting to work and just getting the job done. That's what he's doing. Breaking serve, holding serve, winning sets, move on. All right. Can Stan win the French open again? No. No. Who's golf playing? She's playing Massa Rova tomorrow, which is a awkward match. Massa, I mean, I feel like Massa Rova has a lot of the thing, a lot of the, it ticks a lot of the boxes that the current players we see, like Sviantec and stuff, have. Not saying Massa Rova's the next Sviantec, don't get me wrong. But she does have like a lot of the junior success that we're seeing from some of the players in the top of the game at the moment. So I think Massa Rova might be a, could be a sleeper. In that set, by the way, only three unforced errors from Djokovic. I mean, he is playing so clean, serving so well and dominating. I think Rafa could make a late season shot at the US Open. Yeah, he could. He could. I think he's planning on at least trying to come back for the end of the year. He also said he wants to play Davis Cup, which chat, if you want me to enlighten you a little bit, the Davis Cup schedule goes as follows. So after the US Open, we've got Davis Cup group stage matches, which means, I think Spain are in the group stage, right? Or is that, I think Spain are in the group stage, I think. Canada are the defending champions. They aren't going to win this year. Sorry, Canadians, but look, you really think Felix and Shapo are going to win the Davis Cup this year? That was their first ever Davis Cup win. That's so good for Canada. Canadian tennis is still in a good spot, but maybe just not, not this year. So yeah, so we've got, in the group stage, we've got Spain, where the hell are they? The playoffs, no? Yes, no, no, that's the wrong one. World group one. Qualifying round, here we go. So, this is so annoying, how do I know what's happening? Here we go, the Davis Cup finals, my bad, that's what we're looking for. God, so confusing. Oh, I just sent them back to the same page. Anyways, Spain, Rafa City wants to play for the Davis Cup, so September, Rafa might come back for the Davis Cup. Or he might play at the US Open, you know? Which is before the Davis Cup. Nice win from Pavlia Czenkova today. Yeah, it was a good one, wasn't it? She took out one of the Frivetova sisters. Davis Cup still exists, it does. But it will, I think Davis Cup is going to revert back to the way it was, because they ditched the, they must have heard what everyone's been talking about and was like, we better change things so that I think they ditched the, they've like ditched a lot of the people that made what the Davis Cup looks like now. So, I watched Cricket. Look, that's a little bit personal. That's a very personal question. It's a very, I don't feel comfortable answering that question, to be honest. You know, it's a very personal question. And I feel like that's a little bit too far, you know? So, I declined to answer. That question. Anyway, 6362, 6362, Djokovic. Two sets of love. Kovacovic is serving first in the third, so let's see if we can hold on to serve early and stay in the lead. But before now, the back of Kovacovic, sorry, back in at Djokovic, the back in at Kovacovic, getting in the back in at Nolay as Kovacovic hits in the net, love 15. It's because Davis Cup changes weren't received well. Yeah, I think they're going back, hopefully they go back to the way it was and, you know, change things. I will never watch that trash. Yeah, I don't think he was talking to you though. Just saying, I think he was talking to me. I think he asked me if I watched it. By the way, whoever asked that question, it's a running joke on this channel because that's the question that, I think, who is the goat? Do you watch Cricket? I think they're the two biggest questions on this channel. Do you watch Cricket? Who is the goat? And when can, where can I watch the match? They're the three biggest questions, the burning questions. And the answer is sometimes. Love 15, love 30. Love 30 is Kovacovic serves. Second server, double fires a change. All right, love 40. Love 40. Vondrusha has got a double break, nice. Hey, Dawn's in the house. Everybody say hi to Dawn. Hi Dawn. Hello, good morning Dawn. Welcome, hi. Everybody say hi. Say hi, God damn it. Hey, say hello. Welcome Dawn to the stream, damn it. Back into the net, there's a break. One love and the third. Jock of a jump, two sets of love and a break in the third. There we go, good work, chat. Good work. Thanks, chat. Okay. Somebody said what the hell's happening with Benchage. She is losing. Three love, down, interesting. You have Vondrusha up a set and a break against Parks. You've got Schneider up against Marino and she's winning 5-3. Schneider was the lady that at the Australian Open pissed off, Zachary, if you remember that. So good to see her back. Carrots a drop, two sets a one against Poprin. RBA beat, woo, in straight sets. You've got Vanini up a two sets of love and a break. Stan's trying to get two sets of love against Ramos for Noles. And that is all that's really happening. And more, tell us who is the goat, Serena. Love 15, Serena Williams, come on now. She's got more slams than any of these guys. As we're gonna say about why there's a let from Nole and Nole, it's not convinced. He's looking at the umpire like, are you serious, man? And she's not, he's not even close. Not even close. I wish you could, I say this all the time. I wish you could challenge a let. How fun would that be, Chad? I know it would stop the match and people would be like, oh, get on with the game. But it would all be, it would be fun to see like, if you challenged a let and you had like a camera on the net and you should have replayed the ball trying to hit the net. And like just give the umpire something more to do. Let's put it back in. What do you reckon, challenge let? Yes or no, Chad? One for yes, two for no. One's in the chat if you agree. Should we be able to challenge a let? Video replay a let. One's in the chat for yes, two for no. Love 30. What do you reckon, Chad? I say yes. One's in the chat if you agree. It's pretty mixed, one, one, one, two. Okay, a few twos. Three. Three means undecided. 1.5 is confusing. All right, so it's like 50-50. Love 30 is going to return for Kovacovic into the corner, Kovacovic, Kovacovic with a slice. Kovacovic gets it with the forehand. Into the corner of Kovacovic. No all over the backhand cross court goes in. Kovacovic gets it, Kovacovic hits it wide though and it's love 40. Kovacovic with his first break points of the day. Unbelievable, unbelievable. Watch for Nini, watch for Nini. What's your mouth? What's your tone? All right, love 40. As Kovacovic serves into the backhand of Kovacovic and Kovacovic hits it wide. You get a first serve again anyway. What's the loss? I don't know, players just seem to complain about it. So I thought, well, why not be able to challenge it? So then the players can challenge and we can see what happens. I want less humans and more, I want less humans and more computers. Okay. Well, maybe they should have better let systems and then that way they won't challenge the let. Did you have any more earthquakes? No. Thank God, that was creepy. That was so creepy yesterday. Nearly 24 hours ago, the room was shaking. Anyways, that's weird. Weird thing to say, four out of four in rallies. That goes out from Kovacovic, still break point though, 30-40. Watch for Nini. God, no. I'm watching the score though when he's winning. Does that count? 30-40. 30-40. And then there's Kovacovic serves. He hit the back end of Kovacovic. Four in our no-lay, but Kovacovic hits it out. And Kovacovic saves the three break points to get to deuce. That earthquake was odd for me. I thought a door slammed. Yeah, it was weird, wasn't it? I mean, the whole place was just, the camera was shaking. It was really creepy. And there's a bit of serve. Oh, it's called a let. Kovacovic is pissed. Kovacovic can't believe. This is what we're saying. Kovacovic can't believe it. The crowd's getting wild. He said, how is that a let? Kovacovic just like, it's over the net. How is that? He thought it hit an ace. He said it's happened five times this match already that the machines made a bad call. So Kovacovic not happy about these let's that keep getting called. He believes that they're not let's. Well, show a replay. Show a replay. I wanna see. It would have been an ace. It would have been an ace, but the umpire said let. He has been knocking the replay. So that sucks. Deuce has been a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Serving to the back end of Kovacovic. Four now, Kovacovic. Into the front of Kovacovic. Into the front of Kovacovic. Kovacovic hits a forehand down the line. Kovacovic to the back end. Cross-court to the back end of Kovacovic. Into the back end of Kovacovic. Back end of Kovacovic. Again, the back end of Nolay. We've got us the four on Kovacovic because we had a four on down the line from Nolay. Kovacovic with a slice going long and it's advantage. Jokovic, Nolay with a big shout as well. That was a frustrated shout. Advantage Jokovic. By the way, chat, I've got a better idea. Rather than challenging let's, why don't we just get rid of them? One in the chat, if you agree, get rid of let's. Much easier than having to like, you know, one in the chat, if you agree, get rid of let's. Let's know if there's a let doesn't matter because it would still count if it goes in. Or two, if you disagree. And three, if you don't care. Advantage Jokovic. I'm going to serve down the team. Kovacovic in the net. Jokovic two, love in the third. Cause that would make more sense, right? I mean, rather than getting technology to try and correct the, like if the let's were just not a thing, then that serve would have been an ace. You know what I mean? Yeah, it sucks when it hits the net and like dribbles over and it's like a drop shot, but that doesn't happen as much as, I mean, that happens sometimes. But also remember chat. Sometimes the ball hits the tape and flies to the sky and it just sits up and somebody can hit a return when it easily. So it's not necessarily going to be a favorable thing for a drop or like a let on a serve, make it like a dead let cord. Doesn't always happen. Imagine having a match point. Well, that happens on match point with like a rally. So it would just be unlucky. You can't really like, I mean, you can't hit a let on purpose. So it's not like anyone would be able to use it against anybody. Anyways, the lovely back here winner there from Kvachevich. And it's 15 love. What's the point of the let anyway? Um, I don't know. I guess it's just been a traditional thing, right? It's been on tennis forever. So, or do we just not change anything and people can just get pissed off and we accept the anger from Djokovic. 15 off. Or do we go back to the time when someone sat at the net with their finger on the net and waited for the ball to be called and then they felt it with their finger. Can we go, maybe ditch? Maybe we get rid of the lines, people, but we get back, we bring back the let cord guy. You know, the guy that sits on the net and nearly gets decapitated. You know, imagine being a let player, the let person just sitting there like this. Finger on the net. That used to be a thing. Go watch old matches. It used to be a thing. All right, 30, 15. 30, 15 is Kvachevich tries to get on the board here. Good serve to the 400 Djokovic. Kvachevich shanks it back, acknowledge with the back can wide and it's 40, 15. Reemployed lines, people as let people. Yeah, just give them a new job. Chat one day in the future, we're going to play on a totally electric tennis court. You know that, right? We're going to play on a tennis court where there's no people except for the two players. It's going to be two players out there, maybe not in 10 years, maybe in 20 or 30, but we're going to play, you know, one of those like futuristic scenes in a movie where they just like the athletes go out and then there's just like a crowd of people and it looks super sci-fi. That's what it's going to look like. We're going to have no people. We're going to have two seats for the players. That's it. And maybe a bin. Ball kids are going to disappear. They'll be, they'll just probably just spit balls out. It'll be like a bowl, you know, like a bowling alley where it's on like a slope and they all just like go into the feed and then they kind of like come back automatically. That's how the ball kids are going to be replaced by like a bowling alley style system. The lines, people are already gone. The umpire can get stuff. Maybe the umpire stays. Maybe you keep an umpire, but we're going to have, we're only just getting started with the replacement of humans for everything. I'm going to get replaced by a robot, I guess. I don't know. Lovely return, Djokovic. Kovacovic thought it was out though. I don't know, keep the umpire. I don't know, turn the umpire into a robot. I don't know. 40-30 and that ball was smack bang on the line. I mean, that was just a bad error from Kovacovic. Deuce. By the way, FAA is one game away from losing in the first round. As Kovacovic serves the foul, take a serve. Second serve into the 400 Djokovic. Back in at Kovacovic is long and Djokovic gets to advantage. Advantage Djokovic. To take this double break, I won't be watching if they turn tennis robotic. I love to watch the players and the umpires argue. Serving to the back end is a foul, take a serve. Oh, Dawn, I'm going to double time out. That's so annoying. Dude, you are annoying. Has anyone told you that you're annoying? Anyways, that goes out from Djokovic. Somebody should tell you that you're annoying. Just stop being annoying. All right, Deuce. As Djokovic tries to get this double break, Kovacovic tries to get on the board. Served into the back end of Nole, return goes into the front of Kovacovic. Fana Djokovic is good to the front of Kovacovic as Djokovic's backhand goes in the back end. Sliced to Kovacovic. Back end of Nole, again to the back end of Kovacovic. Sliced to the front end of Djokovic. Kovacovic slices again, goes in. Djokovic drop shot. Kovacovic gets over the slice in the net and Djokovic gets to advantage. Wasn't the best drop shot, but he got away with it. Advantage Nole. And having a look at the ladies' results, not too many things happening, just getting started. Benchage is down a break, but she hasn't played for a while, so I'm not super surprised it's happening. But Garcia is coming up after this match. So we'll keep an eye on her as we return now from Djokovic, but goes long. Lovely serve from Kovacovic. Back to Deuce. Well, like Chorridge and Correa are on court now. That's going to be an interesting one. Has been a four now from Kovacovic in the net. Man, another error. And Djokovic gets another break point. Advantage Djokovic. Jokam, what round do you think team will get this year? I don't know. Where is he? Well, I think he can beat Cashion, but I mean, look, realistically, he could get to the third round. As Djokovic hits that in the net in the return, we're back to Deuce. So he's got Cashion first round. That's not easy. He might lose in the first round, but he might be able to get beat Chorridge in the second round and then possibly play Etcheverry in the third. I would love to see team versus Medi in the fourth round. That'd be fun. But I don't know. I don't think team's going to get, like, awesome to see him play in the fourth round, but realistically, he probably doesn't win the first round. Ace out wide. Because Cashion is not bad. By the way, Fniti just beat Felix in straight sets. In straight sets. He's not going to beat Etcheverry. Yeah, I agree. But Etcheverry has been really good. Fniti, look, surprise, surprise, Felix lost. I mean, what do you want to say? Kovat, what's his name? Kovacovic hits a winner and it's 2-1, Djokovic with the break, but Kovacovic on the board in this third set. You're not a shocker. The least chapeau won at Fernandez won. So that's fun. So the Canadians, we can't all, but you can't be too sad. FAA losing to Fniti in the first round. That's just not a surprise. Not a surprise. Disappointing though. I mean, it's not any less like frustrating, but not a surprise. What is all these weapons on clay? It's his worst surface. I would disagree that it's his worst surface. You know why it's his worst surface though, right? It's not really because it's his worst surface. It's because Raph is so good. Like saying Federer's worst surface is clay is, yeah, because he had to play Rafa. If Rafa wasn't there, they'd probably have much better clay court records. So let's be real. Let's make sure we, yeah, yeah, exactly. Because of Rafa, exactly. So yeah, it might be his worst surface, but if you take Rafa losses out of the equation, it's probably pretty good on clay. But I think his weapons are, obviously his movement is a huge weapon on clay. Being able to grind out those rallies. Consistency is a huge weapon. Mentality is a huge weapon. So I think a lot of, in fact, Djokovic's game is probably so suited to clay courts. If Rafa wasn't around, he probably would be the king of clay, to be honest. He probably would have, you know, seven to 10 French opens, right? Just like Federer, probably have five French opens. But yeah, I think Djokovic, I wouldn't say, I mean, I wouldn't say, you know what I'd say, that he's actually probably top five all-time clay court, right? How do I calculate the wind predictor? It's based on betting. So if the betting says it's 100%, then it's, the betting says 100%. This is gonna change, by the way. It's a live one for the slam. So it's gonna constantly change. So for some how, Kovacovic comes back. I mean, if Kovacovic comes back, it would change, the number would change. Djokovic can beat Rafa on clay. Yeah, I know, but he doesn't, not all the time, most of the time he loses, right? I mean, that's not saying anything wild. But of course, as soon as I say something slightly, not even negative, as soon as I say something slightly that doesn't align with some Djokovic fans, Djokovic fans like to jump down my throat. But can he can beat Rafa one time, that once one time? Okay, cool. I didn't say he couldn't beat Rafa. I just said that Rafa made it worse. Because Rafa was very greedy. Rafa fans aren't here, it's okay, I can say that. Anyways, in the net there from Kovacovic, 15-all. It would be an interesting conversation though, to have how many, how many Djokovic, how many times would Djokovic have won the French Open? Had Rafa not been around? Like realistically, I know people are gonna say, he would have won 14. I don't think Rafa, I don't think Djokovic would have taken Rafa's slams, all of them. I think they would have maybe, you know, shared them between him. I think Federer would have got a couple more, obviously. But how do we divide Rafa's slams at the French Open to the other players? I mean, what about, Vavrenka might have had two or three, right? Vavrenka might have had one, you know? As a Dominic team might have had two, right? So I feel like it'd be a fun kind of little conversation to have how many, and we might actually do that because the rest of this set, we might just do that. Rafa fans, we're not dividing his estate, just chill. He won the, he can't take away his 14. But we're gonna see how many Djokovic could have won if Rafa wasn't around. And I'm gonna base it on something that's, we're gonna base it on the fact, like if Djokovic lost to Rafa at the French Open, then those ones are the ones we'll debate. As that goes in the net from Kovacovic, and it's steady all. Cause if, like for example, Rafa might have won the French Open when Djokovic lost to someone random. And therefore he lost the French Open to someone random. So that's not the same. But if he loses, if he lost to Rafa in a French Open, Djokovic, then we'll talk about whether or not if Rafa wasn't there, would Djokovic have won it? Anyway, it's 30 odd, we'll do that soon. Very windy, by the way. Very windy. I would have loved to see Djokovic Federer like multiple French Open slam finals. I don't think it's so much fun. Rafa got in the way, bloody Rafa. Has been a back-handed back-hand rally. Sliced now from Kovacovic, into the corner of Djokovic. Four now from Kovacovic, down the line. It's a good shot, Noly gets it with a slice. Into the slice, Kovacovic. Djokovic to the backhand. Wind is blowing very heavily. Has been a four and a four-hand rally. Someone is pushing the ball sideways as that goes out from Kovacovic. And it's 40-30. 40-30. Djokovic should go to 3-1 here. 40-30. Another serve from Noly to get to 3-1. He serves in the tee. Great serve, 3-1 Djokovic. Two sets of love. 3-1. All right. So, I'm just doing some quick work. Just to narrow things down for our conversation. What's that one? 3-1, Kovacovic serves. A fault. Second serve. Serve goes in the backhand of Noly. Forna Kovacovic to the corner of Noly. To the corner of Kovacovic on the stretch. Djokovic goes down the line with a winner. Nice from Noly. And it's... Love 15. All right. Interesting chat. This is a very, like, I'm... Maybe I'm too invested and interested in this, but we'll go through it together. Cause it is a fun topic. At least it's interesting. I think it's fun. Anyways, 4-1 now goes in the net from Kovacovic. Love 30. I think Benchich will win, Cam. Yeah, I think she'll win her match today, but I don't think she's gonna go too far. She hasn't played enough. Unfortunately. Hope I'm wrong though. I'd love to see her play Fernandez in the third round. That'd be fun. But I think that might be where it ends. All right, love 30. Messi or Ronaldo, who do you choose? Mbappe. Has been a serve into the net. Second serve. What's so interesting? No, you weren't here, obviously. Thanks for joining us. Backhand return goes in the backhand of Kovacovic. Backhand Noly is long and it's 15-30. 15-30. No, 15-30 as Kovacovic serves a foul. Second serve and the return from Kovacovic goes out. 30-all. Kovacovic, again, blaming the wind for what's happening out there. 30-all. And so we get a serve down to the backhand of Noly. 4-1 now from Kovacovic as a winner. 40-13. Kovacovic with a bit of fist bump too. He's getting fired up. Good to see he's not done yet. All right, 40-30. As we get a return in there from Kovacovic, all right. Kovacovic sticks around for a little bit longer. 3-2, Kovacovic with a break and a third. Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, we're gonna do a little bit of an experiment chat. So, Raffer denied Kovacovic at the French Open seven times. 2007, 2008, both in the semifinals. 2012, 2013, 2014 in the final and semifinal. 2020, 2021 in the final and the quarterfinals. He's got two right now. So we're gonna try and figure out how many slams would Djokovic have. So we're gonna try and figure out how many slams would Djokovic have for the French Open if Raffer was not around. Realistically, right? Some people might say, oh, he's gonna, he would have 15 because Raffer had 14 and Djokovic would have won them all and, you know, that's not, let's play this properly. So there were seven times where Djokovic was denied by Raffer at the French Open. 2007 semifinal, 2008 semifinal, 2012 final, 2013 semifinal, 2014 final, 2020 final, and then last year, 2022 in the quarterfinals. So there were seven different of times. So we're gonna focus on those seven. So I guess some people might say, hey, Djokovic would have nine if you get the two that he's got and those seven, take Raffer out of them, give him the seven. But remember, there are other players that we have to factor in. So 2007, he played, he lost to Raffer, but Raffer then beat Federer in the final. Now, I know people are gonna hate this, especially Djokovic fans, but I'm gonna be honest, I think Federer would have won the 2007 French Open because Djokovic at that time had zero slams and Federer at that time was up here, was like, you know, ridiculously good. So I think Federer, I think we give Federer would have beaten Djokovic in the final, had Nadal not been there. 2007 goes to Federer, Djokovic doesn't win that one. But in 2008, he plays Federer in the final again because Raffer played Federer, Raffer destroyed Federer in that final. I think we give Djokovic the 2008 French Open if Raffer wasn't there because he just beaten Federer at the Australian Open and that's when Djokovic started to look like, oh, okay, I'm in this group now. So I think we give him 2008. So Federer gets 2007, we divide them, one each. Is that fair? I think that's fair. So he has won, he would have at least one extra as that goes out from Kovacovic in his 15-all. Now in 2012, he beat Federer in the semis and then lost to Raffer in the final. Raffer beat Ferrer in the semis to make the final. So if we take Raffer away, Ferrer makes the final. Would Ferrer have beaten Djokovic in the final of the 2012 French Open? Probably not. I would say Djokovic wins that one. So let's give Djokovic that one. Djokovic has got two extra French Opens if Raffer wasn't around. As we're to serve now from Nolley, down the T, the back end of Kovacovic, back in our Djokovic, into the back end of Kovacovic, to the back end of Nolley. Get into the corner of Kovacovic, find our Djokovic into the back end of Kovacovic, who puts it long and it's 30-15. So Djokovic has got, would have won 2008, 2012. He would have lost to Federer in 2007. I think, agree? Why don't the chat if you agree? I disagree. I think Federer would have won the French Open 2008 because he destroyed Djokovic in the 2008 US Open. I mean, yeah, maybe 2008 is a 50-50, but I just thought it'd be split the difference, right? Split the difference. Because I mean, like, you know, I feel like, I mean, did Federer, I mean, the question is, did Federer and Djokovic play before the French Open and what was the result, right? That year. If they played before the French Open or enclave before that time, then that would be, maybe we give it to the player who won the previous match. Would that be easier? I think that's fair. So what, 2008, Federer won Monte Carlo, but it was a retirement victory for Fed. And then Federer won the US Open semi the later in the year. So do we, I mean, okay, we'll get back to that. We'll get back to that. 2013, he lost to Raffer in a five-set epic. Raffer then beat Federer in the final. So he plays Federer twice. If Raffer's not around, what do you reckon, Chad? Do you reckon he beats Federer one both times? I think he does. I think Djokovic at that time, Federer was never really able to beat Djokovic. So, especially in a grand slam final, unfortunately, Federer probably wouldn't have won one even if Raffer wasn't around. Back at a four-in rally now is 30 all here. Djokovic hits it in the net. What a breakback point of a Kovacovic. Because I think Federer beat Djokovic once, right? At like, on a hard court. My five times, my bad. Once in, on a clay court in 2009, and that was the last time on a, the only time on a clay court. Oh, and back when, like, Federer was like, well, Djokovic was like a kid. So yeah, I don't think Djokovic would have lost to Federer in the final. I think both times, if they had played, Djokovic would have won both. So, Djokovic wins 2013-2012. French opens. So that gives him three more, which means he would be on five. But we haven't, we're not done yet. 30-40, second serve, Djokovic. 2014's an interesting one. We'll get to that in a sec. We're gonna serve now the four-in of Kovacovic, back in out from Nole, into the four-in of Kovacovic, again at the back end of Nole, as Kovacovic hits a four-hand into the back end of Djokovic, who shanks it, but it goes in to the four-in of Kovacovic, back in out from Nole, into the back end of Kovacovic, again at the back end of Nole. Kovacovic's four-hand goes in the four-in of Nole, to the back end of Kovacovic, but it's out from Nole. Wow! Kovacovic breaks back. 3-3 in the third. All of a sudden, Djokovic just, and the crowd's going wild. The crowd is going wild. And the Kovacovic is having a laugh. He's like, I'm still here. 3-3. Now, in 2014, Djokovic lost in the final to Rafa, but Rafa had beaten Murray in the semis. So if you take out Nadal and Murray makes the final in his place, Murray in 2014 against Djokovic in 2014. Do you think Murray would have beaten, Djokovic was number two seed, Murray was number seven. I think Djokovic wins 2014, because I don't think Murray, Murray in 2014 wasn't quite the, if it was 2016, I think we could say something different, but what do you reckon? 2014, Murray would have won. Djokovic would have beaten Murray. I agree. I think Djokovic would have beaten Murray in 2014 French Open final if they played. There's been a four now from Kovacovic, I've got a lot from Nole. Kovacovic with a tweener is out. Oh, he changed his mind. He wasn't going to hit a tweener and then he did. 15-0. Because remember in 2016, sorry, 2016 Murray lost to Djokovic in the final. So they did play and it didn't go his way. Yeah, I think in 2014, my 2014 Djokovic had won, got to the quarters of the Australian Open. Actually Djokovic wasn't actually playing that well. Lost in the quarters of the Australian Open to Vavrenka. Oh, that was that year. He went on one Wimbledon, but I don't think Murray would have beaten Djokovic in 14 as that goes wide from Kovacovic in 15-30. Okay, so that means he's got, he would have four more French Opens. Now in 2020, he lost to Raffer badly. If Raffer had not, sorry, if Raffer had not been there, Schwartzman would have gotten through based on that. Schwartzman played Djokovic in the final. I think it's the same as the Ferrer situation. I think Djokovic beat Schwartzman in the 2020 final if that had happened. And then last year. Last year is going to be the interesting one because last year is, that's an interesting one. 30 all because last year, Djokovic played in the quarterfinals and then there was Verov. So Djokovic versus Verov in a semi-final of the French and then the winner played rude. That's what would have happened if we go by what happened. Do you reckon Djokovic wins last year's French Open? Does he beat Verov last year? Remember, his Verov last year was very, very good even against Raffer. He just beat Nelkaraz. I don't know. I mean, does Verov beat Djokovic last year if they played in the French Open semis? Is it a four-and-a-half down the line from Nolle? That's the slice of Kovacovic and Kovacovic in the net. I feel like I want to give that to Verov. It's 50, yeah, 50-50. Is Verov would have broken his ankle still? Well, let's just pretend like that didn't happen. Like, yeah, Verov would have broken his ankle even if Djokovic was there, because accident didn't happen. But let's pretend like the accident didn't happen and the whole match was played. Remember the first set of the Djokovic, Nadal was a tie break against Verov. 10-8 in the tie break. And then they went to a second set tie break before the injury as we had a slice there going into the back end of Djokovic. Kovacovic down a break point in 30-40. There's a back end out of the forn of Kovacovic. The back end of Djokovic. Into the forn of Kovacovic. Djokovic hits the back end. Again to the back end of Kovacovic. Nolle with the back end. Again to the back end of Kovacovic who hits a down a line into the forn of Nolle. Nolle hits a good into the forn of Kovacovic. Back end of Djokovic coming to the net. Kovacovic can't get it. Nolle points to his ear and tries to get the crowd involved. And Djokovic breaks. Four-three. By the way, the crowd is not giving Djokovic the cheering that I guess he wanted. Cause I tell you what, Kovacovic was getting a little bit of love from the crowd and Djokovic was like, you gotta cheer me now and they're like, no. They're kind of booing Djokovic a little. That's a bit weird. So yeah, so I think, yeah, Zverev was playing so well against Rafa. Let's say there was no injury. I don't know. I feel like giving like, I feel like if it was Zverev, Djokovic and there was no injury last year, Zverev was playing so well on the clay. It was only gonna be a matter of time before Zverev was gonna win against one of these big boys and unfortunately the injury. So I'm gonna go and I'm gonna say wouldn't have won the French Open last year. Just think, I'm just thinking, I know Djokovic fans want Djokovic to win everything, but it still gives him five out of a possible seven French Opens if Nadal wasn't around. I mean, you can't be unhappy with that. And yeah, Zverev was, had figured out how to play Djokovic. Just didn't know how to go that win, but I feel like last year had they played. People forget that Zverev going into the French Open last year was like ridiculously good. And after beating Elkaraz, he would have had a lot of confidence going into playing Djokovic. So it would have been really interesting to see how that played out. Anyway, so I guess 2008, the 2008 French Open, would Djokovic have beaten Federer in 2008? Or would Federer still have been able to beat Djokovic? I don't know. What do you reckon, Chad? Would Djokovic have beaten Federer in 2008? Had they played in the final of the French or would Federer have gotten the revenge? As that goes in the net from Kovacovic and it's 15 love? You would have said Federer's favor. Well, Federer was the higher ranked player at the time. What was their clay court record before then? Like up until that point, because maybe there was some like clay court anomaly that we don't know. Like was Federer better on clay against Djokovic back in 2008? Like was their record up until that point? You know what I mean? And once we get this, we have the list, and we'll know the answer, Chad. And this whole segment will be over. All right, 40 love and almost in time for this match to be over. Sorry, 30 love, Djokovic. Six points away from the win. I love doing this stuff. I don't know if you guys like doing this stuff, but I do, so you're gonna have to just sit through it for a bit. I love going through these hypothetical what-ifs. What if Rafa was never at the French Open? What if he'd never played tennis and what if he went and played for Barcelona and became the Messi of Spain? Well, Djokovic and Federer became the Goats of Tennis. As we're back at return now, the 4-0 Djokovic, a 4-0 from Kovacovic into the 4-0 Djokovic. Kovacovic with a slice. 30 love here is with a 4-0 from Djokovic. That's a winner. 40 love, Nole. 40 love, Nole. All right, Nole, trying to get this, trying to get this win here. It's been a fun match, though. Good for Kovacovic to kind of be competitive. So that was nice. Bang, Djokovic, 5-3 in the third. Okay, so interesting. Before, if they had played in the 2008 French Open final, Federer had a 2-0 record against Djokovic on clay. So he had a positive record, two and zero. But their matches were, one was a retirement and one was a close three setter. So what was their head to head before that? So Federer was leading six wins, two losses against Djokovic going into that, going into that match if it had happened. So I'm gonna give, and just because I remember Federer in 2007-2008 was like he was kicking everybody's ass, except for Nadal on clay. He was dominating everybody. All right, backhand down the line is long from Nole. So let's just give it to Federer just. They would have been a five-set epic, one of the greatest matches we've ever seen. Five sets, but Federer edges it out just because he had more slams at the time. He was probably a little bit more experienced. You know, remember, Nole just won his first slam. So let's, yeah. Give Federer something to be happy about. So, okay. As that goes out from Nole and it's 30 love. Okay, so after all of that chat, what does it mean? Well, I'll give you the answer in just a second. 30 love. He's gonna serve now the backhand as a fault. Take a serve. As we return now going into the backhand Nole sliced the front of Kovacovic and Kovacovic hits it wide. 30-15. I'm excited to recap this for your chat because I think we have a hypothetical answer. And I think it's a pretty accurate answer. It's as accurate as we can get without it actually happening. As we just serve, it's a let. 2008, Djokovic would have won. That's the thing though. Djokovic in 2008 was not, like he might have, like Djokovic had a lot of like, remember he won the Australian Open and then he won a slam for like two years, didn't it, right? I mean, he went on a little bit of a slide after winning his first major, maybe a little bit of a hangover. As with a slice there goes out from Nole and it's 40-15. Remember Djokovic was like, he won the Australian Open but then he kind of, it took him, yeah, it took him three years to win his second slam. And he made only one final after winning that Australian Open. So I think it's fair to say that Federer would have got him, especially after the loss he had taken. Federer would have been like, I want to get that one back. So I think it isn't unrealistic to say Federer would have won beating Djokovic in back-to-back French Open finals had Nadal not been there. Because, yeah, Djokovic won the Australian Open and then disappeared for three years. Kovacovic serves and hits a very nice serve. Unbelievable. And it's now five-four Djokovic serve for the match. So I think saying Federer would have won that match, you know, it's not unrealistic or unrealistic. Anyways, yeah, 2008 Federer was better than 2008 Djokovic, exactly. So this is the conclusion chat. He's got two grand slams. Now the question was, how many French Opens would Djokovic had had if Rafa wasn't around? We picked it seven times. Rafa denied Djokovic of winning the French Open. Out of those seven, realistically, four of those would have gone to Djokovic. Four extra French Opens, which means he would have had six French Opens. He would have had 26 slams to now. And that's not including other matches where he played Rafa in other tournaments where he lost. But at the French Open, he would have had six. He would have lost to Federer in 0-7 in the final. He would have lost to Federer in 0-8 in the final. He would have beaten David Ferrer in 2012. He would have beaten David Ferrer in 2013. He would have beaten Andy Murray in 2014, which means he would have been a three-time. He would have had a three in a row in 2012, 2013, 2014. Then he would have beaten Diego Schwartzman in 2020. And he would have lost as Vera Vlastia in the semis had that have happened. So I think that's pretty good. I think that's pretty... I mean, that's assuming, again, that he doesn't get upset in the final to David Ferrer or whatever. But realistically, lost to Federer twice. Vera Vlastia was a beast until he got injured. And he would have beaten Schwartzman, Ferrer and Murray at the times that they played. So I think the answer would have been six, up to now. If Rafa wasn't around, he would have won six French Opens to this day. Maybe he would have won more after today, but I think that's a pretty good answer. I think that's a very logical answer. Let me know. One's in the chat if you agree, two if you disagree. And I think I'm happy with that. I'm happy with that answer. I think that's pretty good. Possibly the greatest clay court player to ever live. Maybe has six to seven, right? I mean, how many is a Borga? Borga has six, right? So it would have been up there as like him and Borga. Can you imagine if like Rafa wasn't around, we would be looking at Djokovic today being like, let's see, if he wins seven, then he's better than Borga. You know what I mean? So this would have been, I mean, in another reality, maybe that is a thing. All right, I love 15. Let's get back to the match though, because Djokovic is serving to win this match. Good chat though. Chat, do you like those discussions or do you, could you not give us stuff? I like talking what if it's fun. Murray lost to him in 2016. Yeah, that's why we gave Djokovic the win in 2014. I love 15. That's gonna serve out why the backhand slice, but it's a fault. Second serve. And it's gonna serve down to you from Djokovic. And ace, 15-0. Love it. Okay, cool. That's fine. Yeah, I mean, look, it's, what does it mean at the end of the day? Nothing, but it's just something interesting. I like going through like realistic scenarios. And I feel like that was as good of an answer as we could have gotten. Now, do the Australian Open with Murray. I'm, look, we're not, we don't have time. We're only gonna do that when we have time. Luckily this match has given, gave us time to have a chat. We'll do, we can do Federer and stuff as well. We can do the Federer situation. Federer also deprived of four French opens. Yeah, so, so Rafa's not around. Federer has four. Djokovic has, you know, Djokovic has six. Team probably has two, you know? So yeah, I think Djokovic, would he be called the king of clay? Maybe not the same in the way that we see Rafa. But I think Djokovic would be considered either the second best clay quarter behind Borg or maybe the best clay quarter we've ever seen. Maybe, you know? All right, 15-30. Kovacovic doesn't want to leave this court. He's like, I want to stay here a little longer. Kovacovic, 15-30, serve. Here's a fault, second serve. Cam, can you do a Federer one? How many did he lose? I mean, we can do a Federer one like, you know, one day. Not now, it's a little, this match might be over and then we'll be done. We can have that conversation for Federer too. As we're back at return now from Kovacovic, Foynay from Djokovic, the fourth, no, Foynay from Kovacovic, he ran around it back in Anole in the net, it's 15-40. Kovacovic to break back here in this third set. But can you imagine, Chad, if we had that situation, if there was no Rafa, Federer would have won, like, off the top of my head, Federer would have won in 2005, probably 2006, 2007, 2008. Like, Federer would have won the French Open, just like he won the US Open every year from 2005 onwards. That's what I think. It would have been, Federer would have won at least all of those French Opens, just like he won the US Open. Do you agree, Chad, or disagree? Like, I feel like he would have won all of those years, like, because that's where Federer was the most dominant. Just before, you know, Djokovic arrived and challenged him on hard courts. As we're at a Foynay-Foyn rally, Kovacovic gets it, Djokovic downbreak point here is he hits a Foynay, out of the slice of Kovacovic, as Nola hits a Foynay into the net. There's the breakback, what is happening? Five-five! Most people agree, okay. Yeah, I think, if you remember the 2000s, like, the 2000s, it was Federer's era, or Federer's decade, except for clay courts because of Rafa. So, and then the 2010s was Djokovic's era, right? Even with, you know, the clay court Rafa stuff. So, if Djokovic, yeah, I think that's a fair assessment. So, total fourth for Fed. I mean, look, we'll go through it one day, not today, but one day we will. But off the top of my head, he probably would have won from 2005 to 2009, because he did win 0-9. He wouldn't take that from him, but, and maybe one more after that, as that's a winner there from, I'm sorry, era from Djokovic, 15-love. And all they just hit in too many, too many eras. So, what, 0-5, 0-6, 0-7, 0-8, 0-9? And then maybe, what was the other one? Maybe like 2011, when he beat Djokovic in the semis, because he lost to Rafa in the final, yeah? As we get to 30-love here, I serve again from Kovacovic. So, I mean, Federer probably would have six French Opens too. They both would have had six. I think that's a fair assessment. The interesting question would be, who would win the other two? Who would win the ones, the other ones that, you know, because obviously he's got 14, right? So, who would have won if it's, if it's six a piece for these guys, who would have won the other three or four? That would be an interesting conversation. All right, first serve is a fault from Kovacovic. He's trying to get the lead here for the first time in forever. And right at the death of this match, well, or is it? As he serves the back of Djokovic, great return, Nolle. Great return, four to 15. There's another serve, that's a fault. Second serve, second serve goes in the back end of Nolle. Four now from Kovacovic goes long and it's 40-30. So, just having a look at Federer. So, yeah, so Federer lost. So, in 20, so let's say we give him those five. 2011, he beats Djokovic in the semis, lost a wrap up. Let's just give him the final that because he would have played, he would have played Murray in the final that year if things had gone the other way. So, 2011 and 2019. Dominic Team probably beats Federer in 2019 at the French Open, let's be honest. If Raffer didn't, because Raffer took Djokovic, took Federer out. So, as Kovacovic gets a six-five with a good serve, good comeback from the American. So, we gave Federer five, 2011, we'll give him that. And then 2019, I think that's Dominic Team's year. Because Team beat Djokovic and then lost to Nadal in four. And Federer lost to Nadal in straight sets pretty easily in 2019. 2019 Federer was coming back on clay for the first time in forever. So, I think, yeah, I think Federer would have had six French Opens if Nadal wasn't around. I think that was an easy one, that was an easy one. Because every other situation, he lost to Stan, he lost to Songa, he lost to someone else that I can't think of. How many would Stan have? Stan would probably have three. Like Team would have maybe, like Team would have 2019, French Open. Maybe 2018 as well. I mean, it depends, again, we'll play this game when we have more time to play it. Remind me, chat, remind me, chat. But I love it. It's good fun. He would have had five. How would he have had six? Well, if you give him all the ones that Rafa didn't, I mean, look, if you give him the ones in 2005, 2009, right? Because he won in 2009. So, if Federer had won, let's say Rafa wasn't a thing, 2005 he beats Puerto. 2006, he beats whoever Rafa beat in the quarters. But there was no one besides Rafa and Nadal, sorry, Rafa and Federer in the 2000s, ends in 2000s, right? It was a two-man race. It was between Nadal and Federer. And then, Jokovic came around and became, yeah. So, in 2000, what, six, seven, and eight, Lubacic lost to Nadal, so Federer beats Lubacic in the final, if Nadal's not around. Jokovic lost to Nadal, Federer beats Jokovic in 2007. We talked about that already in 2008, same thing. So, yeah, so Federer would have won from 2005 to 2008, nine, so that's five, and then maybe in 2011, maybe. As with a four-way now from Jokovic, passing shot from, oh, Kovacovic is good, and Jokovic can't volley it. It's left 30, and left 15, and that Jokovic is clapping the crowd sarcastically. Jokovic has got to be careful, because no way, this crowd is not for Jokovic, they're not against him, but they want to see Kovacovic win a set and make this a match. So, Jokovic has got to be careful not to get the crowd pissed off here and give them a reason to boo him. And we know this crowd does boo, because they booed, yeah, the sarcastic clap, I mean, the little, like, thanks for clapping my error. You know what I mean? Like, be careful, because this crowd is not, this crowd is already booing people for beating the Frenchmen, so don't give them a chance. Don't give them ammo. First of all, take a serve. You think 2005 Federer wouldn't have won the French opening against Puerta? You've got to give him 2005, that was the easiest one. As with a serve now, the forehand of Kovacovic, backhand of Jokovic, the forehand of Kovacovic, into the backhand of Nolay, as Kovacovic hits the forehand, again to the backhand of Jokovic, into the backhand of Kovacovic, Nolay with the backhand again, Kovacovic with a slice, that goes into the forehand, Nolay, into the forehand of Kovacovic, hits it in the net, 15-0. 15-0. Yeah, it's a factor in a lot of matches from the round of 16s onwards and who Nadal takes out in those rounds who could challenge Federer in a no-back. Yeah, we have to do that, we want to go really deep into it, but just to get a quick answer, that's what we're trying to do. We don't want to go into like a three-hour conversation about, well, if this guy had played this guy and then played this guy, like yeah, we could have gone way back if Jokovic, but most of the time, Nadal lost in the semis, so it's easier just to replace the finalist with someone. Yeah, there's some of them there that you probably have to go deeper into, but let's just assume that, well, let's just make it easy and just go off like the more easy factors. We're gonna find out from Jokovic, that's a nice passing shot off a drop shot of Kovacovic, 30-15. Puerto was positive doping, he said himself. Yeah, 2005 final, Federer would have beaten Puerto because Nadal beat Puerto. Nadal was like an 18-year-old kid, so Federer would have beaten Puerto as well. All right, 30-15, but I think it's safe to say, no Nadal, Jokovic and Federer both win six. Lovely ace down the tee. And then maybe Murray wins a cup. We didn't even talk about Murray, right? Murray, Bavrinka, and team probably win a couple of the others, right? Maybe Zverev and Rood was the final last year, you know what I mean? Like Zverev might have won the French Open last year, had Nadal not existed, you know what I mean? So it's a fun things. What if scenarios? But yeah, 40-15 to get to the tie break in this third set here, Jokovic, which has been a battle, unexpected battle, as we had a return that goes out and we go on to the tie break. All right, chat. You tell me who's going to win this tie break because Jokovic's going to wrap this up in straight sets or is Kovacovic going to do something crazy? This kind of feels like the Australian Open when, remember when Jokovic played Cuoco? Remember that third round opponent or second round opponent against the Frenchman? Kind of has that vibe. You know, that tie break kind of randomly went the other way. Do you think Jokovic's going to get this done or do you reckon we go on to a third? Do you reckon something crazy is going to happen? As a lot of people go on with Nolle, except for Dutchy who goes with the other guy every time. That's the new name of these guys. All right, that goes out from Kovacovic and Jokovic wins the first point, I think, umpires out the chair. Let's see what happened. And it was wide, so one love, Jokovic, in this tie break. One love. Oh, the Dominic team is down a set against Cashion. Not really shocked at that because Cashion is, you know, maybe not the most well-known player, but he is a decent clay quarter on, and probably in better form than Dummy. All right, one love, Jokovic for the mini breaks, first of the fault, second serve. Two hours, 22 minutes for a straight test win. Jokovic, yeah. That's about right. Nolle doesn't win quick matches. As we're back in return now from Kovacovic. Jokovic to the forehand. Kovacovic hits in the net. Two love, Nolle. Match should have ended sooner. Yeah, I mean, look, this match should have probably ended in two hours, not two hours and 25. It is what it is. Also, Benchage is up four-one in the second now against Avanesian, Avanesian, Avanesian. Yeah, I'll go with that. Served into the backhand of Kovacovic, Kovacovic in the net. Three love, Nolle. Three love, Jokovic in this. Can't have a question, okay? Go for it. Shoot, your turn, go. Go for it. Also, Svetlana, a four-two against Treveson. In the first set over there, that's interesting. Kovacovic serves a fault, second serve. How's Nolle looking? He looks solid, you know? He looks solid. As we're back into backhand rally, going into the four-one of Kovacovic, again to the backhand of Kovacovic, as Nolle hits a four-hand again to the four-hand of Kovacovic, into the backhand of Nolle, as Kovacovic hits a backhand down the line for a winner. And the fist bump to match. Three-one, Jokovic. Nolle looks fine. We've got to remember, Chad, this is Novak Jokovic. He is not going to come out of the blocks and win six love, six love, six love if he doesn't have to. He's going to do just enough to win. He's not going to play his best the whole day because he knows he doesn't have to play his best to win. He's not going to waste, he's going to win straight sets, well, he wants to, right? But he doesn't need to win six love, six love, six love to prove anything. He just needs to get through because he knows that when he gets to the big boys, that's when he needs to use the energy. As we're at a four-and-win of Kovacovic, four-one, double mini-break. So Nolle, you know, he doesn't need to dominate these guys to make him look good, right? In fact, you could argue that like him trying to come out here and prove a point will waste too much energy. Like just play, you know, just kind of cruise it like, you know, second gear, get the win. And then when you play the big boys, that's when you, that's when you'll lift. Whereas the big boy, like Elkres playing today, if Elkres comes out and plays super intense, super aggressive and wins in straight sets a little better, that might hurt him down the track because he's using way too much energy when he doesn't need to use the energy. You know what I mean? Does that make sense? Five-one, Kovacovic, they change ends with a lovely slice down the line. Now, yeah, Nolle losing, you know, playing a tie-break doesn't, it's not ideal, but also, you know, like just playing smart, exactly, yeah, just playing smart. You know, just playing as well as he needs to play because he knows it's a long tournament. Yeah, marathon, not a sprint, right? It's a marathon, not a sprint. So why would you sprint out of the blocks in the first round when you could just kind of jog your way into it? And then when she gets, then you start sprinting when you suck into that quarter-final stage. Jokovic did this on purpose to give himself a reason to play. No, I don't think Jokovic wanted to play a tie-break. I think he would have been happy with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 win. There's a break in each set and then get out of here, but... Look, a little extra time on court, never hurt it, might not hurt, as long as he doesn't lose this tie-break. Five-one, serving to the corner of Kovacovic, backing out from Nolle to the back of Kovacovic, into the back of Jokovic, Kovacovic forehand. Hit the tape, goes long, 6-1, Nolle. Five match points for Novak Jokovic. Oh, look, Kovacovic, he's been decent. You know, this third set's been interesting. He's made it fun, but nothing to trouble Jokovic really. All right, 6-1. Kovacovic serves a fault. Second serve. Second serve to the corner of Jokovic's return. It is a winner! And he finishes in style. Jokovic just slaps the return, and he gets a win. Pretty straightforward, GGs. They have a big hug at the net, big smile. Oh, that's nice, that's good to see. Nice embrace at the end. I think it's because he's... People in the chat were saying that Kovacovic has got some Serbian heritage, so there's probably that Serbian connection. Maybe a little couple of words in Serbian, and then that was nice. That was nice, nice embrace. And look, Kovacovic, probably a dream come true. Centre court of a Grand Slam, playing against Jokovic, in his first ever Grand Slam main draw match as well. So it's only downhill from here. He's gonna play Wimbledon for the first time, and he's gonna play, probably, unless he gets a terrible draw, he's probably not gonna play Jokovic on centre court. He's probably gonna play, I don't know, he might go play David Ovis-Fakina on court number 700. So... So hey, hey, dream come true. First Grand Slam match on a big stage, 24-year-old. And look, he got to a tie break against Jokovic, so I mean, he didn't disgrace himself at all. He didn't be a bagel, didn't get destroyed, put up a fight. But he's playing against Nole, I mean. All right, we're gonna stick around for a little longer because we've got Elkhraus coming up in about, probably about half an hour to an hour. Benchich is still playing her match, so we're gonna wait for her to finish. And Nori took forever, so that's why we are here. Benchich, and if Nori hadn't played forever, then maybe we would have been good to go. But we'll stick around for a little bit, see what that Benchich match looks like, and then we'll figure it out. But good win, look, Jokovic, how'd he look? He looks fine, he doesn't look hurt, which is the main thing, no elbow sleeve, no injury looking, he didn't look like he was injured, so that's good. But I mean, what can you say? He just won a match that he should win. Not pushed himself too hard, played some good shots here and there, but yeah, I think Jokovic just played solid. Got the win, moving on. Now, who does he play? That's the question, right? So now he goes on, he plays Fucovic, the Hungarian, so that'll be interesting. Fucovic can be awkward, so Jokovic is going to have to play maybe a little more intensely to beat Fucovic, but again, you know, should be able to beat him, and then for Kiena, possible third round is the real nightmare. Or even Feast, Feast might be the nightmare because Feast does, with the French crowd, I mean, Jokovic was getting a little annoyed at the crowd today, a little bit. Then you got Hercatch, RBA, Griggs Spore in the fourth round potentially. I feel like Jokovic, until the quarterfinals, should be pretty sweet, you know? Even, I mean, look, Hashinov in the quarterfinals, like, Jokovic's draw does not look tough. Like, there's no one that I'm like, ooh, watch out until you see Alkares, right? I mean, look, Senego, Umbair, Rublev, Hashinov, yeah, they're not fun, you know, Vavrenko, not fun, but for Jokovic in 2023, beatable, right? For Kiena, yeah, awkward, but you know, should win. RBA on Clay against Jokovic, I don't think it's the same as in a hard court. Hercatch on Clay is not as good as, is not as dangerous as maybe a grass court for Jokovic. So, yeah, I don't think anyone's really, should bother Jokovic, he shouldn't, he might lose a set, but I don't think, I don't think there's too many obstacles until he plays Alkares. And then when he plays Alkares, if he plays Alkares, because Sizi Pass has also got something to say about that, and Mouseti, I mean, that's when things get serious. But I think Jokovic should probably get over the first week, maybe dropping one set, maybe. I already count out Rubelev. I mean, like Rubelev versus Jokovic, we saw that this round open, it was one of the most disappointing matches of the tournament because Jokovic was injured and he still couldn't, and Rubelev still couldn't trouble him. So, yeah, do you think Rubelev, like Rubelev might be the one who gets a set off Jokovic? That might be the one where he loses a set, but I don't think he's gonna lose to Rubelev. I think Rubelev's gonna lose a Hashinov anyway, so it might be Hashinov Jokovic, so Rubelev doesn't get his chance. Rubelev on clay is different, like different how? I mean, Jokovic with two legs is different. Like, what do you mean? Rubelev has confidence now? Yeah, but Jokovic is not injured now. Like, I don't get it, I don't, what do you mean? What do you mean, chat? Like, Rubelev might be more confident against Jokovic on clay, but also Jokovic is not as hurt as he was at the Australian Open, so it's different, it's better, it's different for both. But I think Rubelev yesterday looked okay, but I don't know, Hashinov-Rubelev will be a fun match. That will be a five setter and the winner will play Jokovic, probably. Possibly. Rubelev's got to play Umbair Senego. I mean, Rubelev might not even make it to Hashinov. Like, Rubelev might lose. I don't think Rubelev would lose to Hashinov. He lost to him last time they played. Hashinov on clay, he won't make the fourth round. Dude, you don't even, chat. You gotta do your research before you come in here and say stupid things. Then again, that's what I'm here for. I'm gonna, I don't wanna correct you, but I'm gonna correct you. Hashinov has made the fourth round or better at the French Open every year by one. Five out of the six times he's played here, he's made the fourth round or better. How can you be like, oh, nah, I can't see you making the fourth round. Dude, he makes the fourth round all the time. Only once is he not. What are you talking about? Come on. Yeah, he made the fourth round last year, he made the quarter finals in 19. So come on now. Don't come in here and say silly things. At least Google it before you come in here and make that comment. Also, I think Hashinov, and I'll confirm this, Hashinov-Rublev, I think played, like they've got an interesting record. I don't think it's super one-sided. Let me check. Three and two, Hashinov leads. So yeah, last time they played with Madrid this year and they also played in Monte Carlo, both of them split down the middle. So, I mean, it would be a, it should be a five-set fourth round match between those guys. And I think Hashinov might be able to clinch it. Last year, Hashinov made the fourth round and Rublev made the quarter finals, okay? But they didn't play each other last year. But Rublev lost to Chilich last year, right? And Hashinov and Chilich do have similarities. Rublev has made the quarter finals two out of the four times he's played. So it's a good record too. I'm not saying Rublev sucks on clay and can't do anything, but he lost to City Pass in 2020, he lost to Chilich last year. So just, look, am I saying that Hashinov will 100% and a million percent win? No. But I think Hashinov definitely could beat Rublev and that would not be a surprise. Saying that Rublev has no chance against Rublev is crazy. That's so crazy to say that. How did you get to that conclusion? If you're basing it on yesterday's performance, because Hashinov lost two sets, then maybe, okay, but yeah. Rublev with a 1,000 is stronger. Yeah, but Hashinov's had a 1,000 for years. So, okay. Anyways, I want to see that match. It's kind of like Jabir versus Rabakina. That's the same debate we had yesterday, right, Chad? Some of the people thought Rabakina would beat Jabir on clay. I think the opposite. I think Hashinov has a good chance against Rublev on clay. Some of you don't think that. That's fine. Hopefully, we get to find out, because both of those matches will be fire. Hopefully, we get to see those matches. When are we watching the matches we're watching today? We're watching Elkraz after the Benchich match finishes. So, we're just watching Benchich play a third set. We're waiting for that to finish, and then we'll go over there. Ken versus Chad. Some of you are on my side. I don't think most of the people, Hashinov has beaten Rublev literally a few weeks ago, exactly. Hashinov had a back issue in Rome, so I don't think this year. Is that what he heard? That's what hurt him last yesterday? I don't know. Both of them have to get through, though. That's the thing. Like, we might not even get Hashinov versus Rublev. Rublev has to play Mouté, a Frenchman in France. Mouté is exciting. That could be tough. And then Umber, who's been in form. Hashinov has to beat Elbot, and then possibly Vavrenka. So, there's no guarantee we're ever gonna get Rublev. We're gonna get Vavrenka taking on Umber in the fourth round. So, we might not even get to see Rublev or Hashinov. Hashinov gets disrespected a lot. I agree. I think it's because he is not seen as like seen in the same category as a Medvedev or as Varev. But he has made the last two semifinals at the slams. He made the semifinal of Australia. He made the semifinal of the U.S. And that's not nothing. He plays well in five sets. So, he's a good five-set player. So, yeah. I mean, and like I said, his record at the French Open is actually kind of awesome. Um, like he's made it to the fourth round of better here every time but once. Never lost in the first round in the seven times he's played. Lost in the second round in twenty-one. And I think he lost to someone decent. Let me check. He lost to Anishikori in five sets in the second round in twenty-twenty-one. So, that's not nobody. You know, Anishikori might not be the guy he was. He's actually got the best record out of all the slams at this one. Seventy-four percent winning record. Seventeen wins six losses, Hashinov, at the French. And compared to Rublev, he's got sixty-seven percent winning record. Rublev's lost twice in the first round, including twenty-twenty-one, where he lost in the first round to Strouff, which is not so random because we know what Strouff has done. Strouff also beat Elkres that week. So, not a bad loss, I guess, in hindsight for Rublev. And then twenty-seventeen, Rublev lost first round unseeded, I think, to Rublev, where are you? Rublev lost in the first round of the French open to Schwartzman in five sets. Again, not a bad loss. So, maybe the two losses that Rublev's had early in this tournament are not. You know, you can justify them. But yeah, if we're talking about French open numbers, Hashinov has been better at the French open in their careers than Rublev. Sixty-seven percent winning record for Rublev, seventy-four percent winning record for Hashinov. So, it'll be a banger if we get it. It'll be an absolute banger. I would normally be all for supporting Hashinov's Grand Slam mode, but I definitely think his back issue and his wife's heavily pregnant, so distracted. OK, well, I mean, look, we'll find out. Like, after the first round, Hashinov does look a little very... Like, after that first round, like, escape, he does look sketchy. But if he beats Albert in straight sets and then he goes on and beats Kokonakis or Vavrenko, pretty easily, then I think a lot of people are like, I picked him as my Dark Horse, so I'm going to defend Hashinov because I picked him as a Dark Horse, do we? But I am a little worried after yesterday. Not going to lie. Shapo went in five, he sure did. It's more more of a day in the US. Hope my fellow Americans are having a good three-day weekend. Hey, nice. Enjoy. Hopefully you're all having a good three-day weekend. A lot of tennis to watch. Shapo versus Krianovic. That's coming up soon. That's a banger. Yeah. Wong taking on Garcia. That'd be interesting. Let's see if Garcia can continue or can avoid getting upset in that one. Wenders Marijan play. He lost in the Qualies. I love how everyone's asking that same question, like, where's that guy that beat Elkarez? Where's he playing? I want to watch that guy again. Well, we're going to have to wait until the French. We're going to have to wait until next year, maybe, now. Are they still considered prime years for Djokovic at 36? No. No. Djokovic's prime, or his peak, is not right now. We're not, like, witnessing. We're not at the top here. We're on the downslope. Now, it's not like a drop, but it's definitely, like, slowly dropping. Djokovic's best year was, what, 20? Well, arguably, 2021. Arguably. I would say it was more like 20... When was that, 2014? Was it? Or 2015? When he was, like, kicking everyone's ass. Nobody was close. Oh, sorry, 2011... When was it? 2015 was his... I think 2015 was his best season, even though he was closer to winning the Grand Slam in 2021. But I think 2015 was his ultimate year. He lost six matches. 82 wins, six losses. So he's not there. So if it's 20... I mean, look, he probably dipped a little bit after that, and then because of injury, and then he came up again. But I think he peaked in 2015. And look, what was that? Eight years ago, he was 28 years old. That's about right. Players usually have their best seasons in their late 20s. That's usually when players do peak in tennis anyway. And that's why we have the term late bloomer for those who play well after that, or, you know, in their 30s. Yeah, Djokovic in 2021 was 55 wins, seven losses. So, yeah, 2015, he was 93% winning record. 88, and again, 2021 was a great season. But actually, sorry, his record in 2021 at the slams, he only lost one match. He almost won the calendar slam then, except the difference was that he lost the French open instead of the US open. So, sorry, no, 2021, he lost... I can't remember. Chad, I don't remember. My brain doesn't work. Yeah, sorry, he lost in the French open finals. Yeah, 2015 was Djokovic's best. 2021 was his second best. 2011 was his best, you reckon? Peak Nolle was 2023. Now, see, look, and you've got to remember who he played back in 2015, right? Federer, Nadal, Murray, Vrinka. Like those guys, like over the last decade, those are the guys, those are the best guys. Like he didn't, in 2021, or even last year, sorry, this year, no Rafa, right? No Vrinka was not a thing. Murray wasn't a factor. You know, Federer's gone. So, yeah, 2015, Djokovic was when he was playing against Peak Rafa, very good Federer. Almost Peak Murray, Vrinka, right? So, you got to look at the competition in 2015 too. 2021, he beat, you know, yeah, you know, 2021. You know, Federer was there and Rafa was obviously there and he beat Rafa at the French, which is great. But it's not the same guys. They're not the same guys. You know, Medvedevs, Verev, Sizi Pass, you know, they're not Murray, Vrinka, right? Or at least not now, not in the peak. Those guys haven't peaked yet. Looks like Team could be going out, what a shame. Yeah, man, look, he'll get back eventually. I didn't watch the match cam. Please tell me if Djokovic was playing good, is he looking good? Yeah, he looked fine, he looked good. Don't let the tie break for you, he was fine. He was never in danger. He played well enough to win and that's all that he needed to do. Doesn't need to overexert himself this early. No point in trying to prove a point. Djokovic knows that. By the way, team's down a set and a break, so that match is still going. 2011, okay, 2011 was his best season, you reckon. Maybe, let me have a triple check. So in 2011, 2011 he only lost the French Open semifinals. So his Grand Slam record was better, wasn't as good, it was one match away from being as good. Yeah, he lost the Federer and he went on a streak in that year, right? He was on that ridiculous winning streak. Like he won 40-something matches, right, in the first, like he did a Sfiante before, 10 years earlier. I think, right, am I getting that right or is that totally wrong? Was that not the same year? 92% winning record, 70 wins, 60 losses. So again, he won more matches in 2015, lost the same amount, only lost six matches but he won more matches in 2015. So his record was much, was like 80-something, right? 88, 86. So yeah, again, I think, I would say, I would go with 2015, maybe 2011, 2023, like in that order, 2015, like best, 2011 second best, 2021 third best. Because 2011, like you said, Federer and Nadal, like, you know, with their powers. Whereas 2021, he didn't have to play some of those guys, or at least not at the best. So yeah, 2011 after, yeah, say 2015, 2011, and then 2021 would be his best. So is he at his peak right now? Hell no, he peaked eight years ago. But doesn't mean he's not still very good because remember, goats are different. Djokovic's peak is amazing but Djokovic's right now is still pretty damn good. Better than everyone else, most of them anyway. So just saying that he's not at his best right now doesn't mean he's not better than everyone else right now. You know, there's levels. Think of it like a graph chat, right? You've got Djokovic's peak is up here, right? It's like right up here. This is where 2015, he's probably about here but then you've got Medvedev. He peaked, he might only get to here. So Djokovic's now might be better than Medi's peak if this is Medi's peak. Or even Okres, right? So just gotta think of it like that. Think of it like a graph. No one would beat Djokovic this year at the Australian Open, not peak Federer, not peak Rafa, not peak Laver. Okay, disagree but cool. We haven't forgotten how Cam didn't support Djokovic coming to the Australian Open. We haven't forgotten how Cam didn't support Djokovic coming to the Australian Open. Chat, does somebody want to correct that person? I don't want to do it because I want the chat to do it. Chat, can somebody tell that person what I said this time like last year? Can somebody please just enlighten this person? Can somebody please correct them? Now, Charles is about to win the first against Correa. Garcia is on court, cool. Stands up two sets of one. Team is down but he's still active in the match. Team is not winning, no. Cam was fully on the other side against the Australian Government, thank you. In fact, I think I was like one of the only people that was. Pretty much, again, I should be, I'm Australian, I should have been like yeah, Djokovic shouldn't be allowed in. No, I said get him in, he should be playing, this is stupid. When everybody else was saying he shouldn't play, go watch those videos, go get educated. Because I was one of the only people that was defending Djokovic throughout that entire thing. Even when he lost, I was pissed off that he lost because he shouldn't have lost, he should have been able to play. So go watch those videos, then go watch it what everyone else said, and then come back to me and say the same thing, because then you'll be lying to yourself. Now, what have we got here? We've got, Vavrenka is gonna play five sets. No, Sasha's playing tomorrow. Sasha's playing tomorrow. What's your opinion on Sasha's, Varev leaving his coach? Well, it's Varev left his dad as a coach? I don't know, I don't know. Do your research, don't assume exactly. I supported Noley playing the AO as well. Yeah, for sure, I mean, a lot of us did. I'm pretty sure you picked Noley to win as well, didn't you? Yeah, I did. I picked Djokovic to win this show and open this year as well, so I don't know where that person was coming from. You know what, that was probably a first time chatter who came in and was just like, you don't even like Djokovic, do you? And it's like, dude, you weren't even here. Like, you weren't even here. Who would win at his best, Pete Federer and Nadala Djokovic? It depends on the surface. It depends on the surface. Pete Djokovic on a hard court, probably Noley. Pete Djokovic against Nadala on hard court, Djokovic. Pete Djokovic against Federer on hard courts, probably Djokovic. And then on a clay court, Pete Nadala beats everybody and on grass, it's between Djokovic Federer. So it's very, maybe Pete Federer beats Djokovic on grass, maybe. But again, yeah. You don't even go here, exactly. Probably just a troll, yeah, look. My brother said you didn't support him, sorry. Yeah, your brother is, your brother doesn't even watch this channel, so I don't know what you're talking about. Don't let your brother type. Why would you let your brother type in the chat? Under your name. Your brother's making you look bad, mate. Go tell your brother to get his own account. And tell your brother to go watch the other, all the other news articles that came out about that situation and then come back to me and say, and then your brother can say, oh no, actually it was, you know, the mainstream media were pissed off, not this channel. Of course you support Noley to play, but you were probably happy that Nadala won. I wasn't happy that Nadala won. I was happy, I mean, it was exciting to see Nadala winning because it was such a crazy final. But it didn't feel like, for the whole tournament, it just didn't, like, yeah, Nadala won, but it was also like, but Djokovic isn't here. And history was made, which is cool. Everyone loves, I love to see history, right? I'm a tennis fan. But it didn't feel like I wasn't like, oh yay, now Nadala can win. Like I wasn't cheerleading Nadala. It was just an epic final. In fact, Medvedev winning the Australian Open last year would have been probably better for the future of tennis, to be honest. Would have been better to see, you know, back-to-back titles by Medvedev. And it would have been like, shit, Medvedev's here, you know? But I love history. I love watching history. As a coach, Sergei Brigero, wasn't it? I haven't seen Sergei Brigero in the box for a while. What's team doing? He's playing against a good clay quarter. So look, don't be surprised if Dominic team loses. Kassian is not like some random clay quarter, or some random guy, he can play on clay. Djokovic has a winning record at Wimbledon over Federer. There you go, yeah, so Federer, yeah. So I would say, Pete Djokovic beats Federer on clay, on grass. I think the only thing is, nobody beats Pete Raffer on clay. But Djokovic probably wins the hard court and grass against Federer, and definitely wins the hard court and grass against Raffer, obviously. Team went from consecutive finals to a consecutive first-round loss as quick. I mean, it wasn't quick. It was over a span of a couple of years, and injuries also played a factor. So I mean, you've been a little harsh on Dominic team and been like, oh, he made two finals last year, and then he made no finals this year. Like, no, dude. Just give him a little bit of leeway. I don't think no one's winning this competition. See, I do. I think Djokovic's gonna win the French. When everyone else is picking Elkviz and Medvedev. So again, to that guy whose brother hijacked his phone, Novak Djokovic, I am picking Novak Djokovic to win. When everybody else is picking Elkviz, I'm over here saying Novak Djokovic is gonna win. So you tell me, I don't like him. Raffer AO is a miracle that I'll never forget. Yeah, look, for Raffer fans, it's one of the greatest victories he's ever had. And for history, it's like, you know, it's a massive moment. I mean, winning 22 slams. Just like Djokovic winning this French Open will be a massive moment when we see it later in the week. Roon is gonna win. All right. How do you think Raffer and Carlos would play as doubles team in the Olympics? They probably do. Well, maybe get to the medals. I don't know if they'd win. Elkviz might lose first round. You never know. That would be insane. I don't think Elkviz is losing today. No way. Not today. Boy, teams down two says the love. All right, Chad, I'm gonna send you over to the next match because Vintage is playing a final set. So we've got a lot of time, maybe another 30 minutes until the next match starts. So I'm gonna send you over there and then we can continue talking about tennis. So jump over there. Talk amongst yourselves. Djokovic looked great. I mean, look, he looked fine. He needs to play better than against other guys, but he'll get there. He doesn't need to play great in the first round to be convincing. Solid win. Maybe a hiccup at the end of the third, but didn't make a difference. He wins 6-3, 6-2, 7-6. And he is now into the second round of the French Open and he beats Kovacovic, the American. And now he plays Fuchovic. So he's gonna have to play a lot better against Fuchovic, but he played well enough to win today and he gets the win and now, of course, he's coming up next.
