 Welcome to finals day. It is a huge huge day of finals. We're starting with Stook gut for the ladies a 1-2 battle Then we've got also Rube 11 Runa playing finals in Munich and in Bosnia So we're gonna cover that as well a little bit and of course to finish the day We're finished with city pass taken on El Caraz, which is a massive Top five clash as well So huge day and then all of this is leading to Madrid next week Madrid starts on Tuesday I think so we've got like one day of just chilling and then we're back into it straight away a Lot of players pulled out of Madrid I've just checked that the withdrawal list my god and there might be more to come because I have a feeling that if Shriantek wins This tournament she ain't gonna play next week because she won't need to Let's get a preview though because these two guys ladies have actually played Many times. They're just they're creating a pretty good rivalry English Fiontech vs. Irina Sabalenka is the final of the Stuttgart opening for 2023 And we're getting a rematch of last year's final from 2022 Sabalenka started the tournament off as the number two seed and would get a buy in the first round In the second round she take on Krujikava a lady She played in her last four tournaments including this one this time Sabalenka would win really easily 6-2-6-3 to get to the quarterfinals and the quarterfinals should take on wild card and best friend And after being down a set and a break Sabalenka would fight back to win 4-6-6-4-6-4 to get to the semi-finals The semi-finals Sabalenka would take on the unseeded Potipova who had just taken out Goff and Garcia to get to the stage There was no problem for Sabalenka getting through in straight sets 6-1-6-2 to advance to another final Fiontech started the tournament off as the number one seed and would get a buy in the first round in the second round She take on Zheng player that she had to fight last year a couple of times in some close matches This was no problem for Shriontech getting through in straight sets 6-1-6-4 In the quarterfinals she take on Pliskeva who had taken out Zachary and Bekic to get to this stage And this was brutal for Shriontech starting down for love But Pliskeva taking the first set having to fight back to win eventually getting through in 3-4-6-6-1-6-2 To get to another Stuttgart semi-finals and the semi-finals Shriontech would take on the number three seed Jabur She hadn't played since the US Open final last year But unfortunately after injuring herself in the very first game Jabur would have to retire at three loves In the first set Hanech Shriontech would win to make it to another Stuttgart final They still played six times before with Shriontech leading the head dead 4-2 Including two matches on clay which Shriontech has won easily However Sabalenka did win their last match at the WTA finals at the end of last year And it's also won the Australian Open since their last met Sabalenka is going to win this one She needs to be super aggressive and she needs to serve well We saw Pliskeva push Shriontech a couple of days ago in the quarterfinals Sabalenka is a better version of Pliskeva so she can do a lot of the same things And maybe even trouble Shriontech in two sets rather than just the one set that Pliskeva was able to do If Shriontech is going to win this one she needs to play the best match she's played all week She's a little bit a little bit shaky this week It's been weird to see not playing the best tennis even though she has got some convincing wins But avoiding playing a tough match against Jabur might help her in the end if it does go the distance We get a rematch of last year's final It's going to be an epic final but I reckon it's going to be Shriontech winning this one in three sets I think Sabalenka might take a set and get close But I think Shriontech is going to weather the storm And again I can't pick against Shriontech on clay unless she starts losing a few more matches But who do you think is going to win? Let me know down in the comments below in the final of Stuttgart All right there it is if you're not pumped up for that then I can't help you Semi-finals you can see there a bit of a letdown First because Potipova just didn't show up against Sabalenka yesterday and of course the sad Retirement from on Shriontech after three games and it was really only after one game Because there's two games after we're kind of just to see how her leg was Hopefully she can play in Madrid a lot of question marks going into Madrid for a few big names Including Jabur but we got the final that maybe we wanted the most Because we haven't seen these two play at all this year Let's talk about arena Sabalenka the world number two 24 year old from Belarus She's 5 foot 11 right-handed 20 wins three losses on the year Has got the Australian Open title and also she won Adelaide before the Australian Open So she's been a bit of a win streak to start the year and is in very good form Only the three losses one of those was to Rabakina one of those Was to Kojikova both who went on to win their tournaments that she beat the Sabalenka lost in And then Kostya also got a bit of an upset win in Miami against Sabalenka And you can see that her form has been amazing eight out of her last win Eight out of her last ten have been wins and she hasn't lost Well, she hasn't uh hasn't lost many matches But she's she's probably the most winning player on the tour at the moment You can see there her badges all of those things big server big aggressive player We know that's how she plays And Egas Triantek the world number one Still in front of Sabalenka by a margin But you know this could close the gap depending on the result 21 year old from Poland 5.9 right-handed 16 wins four losses on the year one title as well That only being in Doha hasn't had the same season this time last year this time last year She was the beast she'd won what four tournaments in a row or three tournaments in a row coming to the final here barely barely got trouble on on her in her game Only the one title this year 12 career titles including this one last year and you can see her form She has won eight of her last ten as well. She's getting back to where she was On the clay this time last year to see all the badges as well She's a solid baselana. You know, I wouldn't call her an attacking baselana I think she's a bit of both can defend well and you see there the purple badges being two grand slams or two different grand slams It's the u.s. Open and uh french open She won 1,000 events. She got the world no more in ranking as well And here's the head to head for two in favor of Shveontek, but like I said, Sabalenka won their last match It was an indoor hard court in texas So hard to kind of judge whether or not that one Really, I mean if confidence-wise it helps, but does it really help in terms of clay court tennis? Maybe last time they played on a clay court was in Rome and it was an absolute Beatdown uh for Shveontek, but I don't know Stuttgart Plays a little bit quicker. Maybe there's a little bit more um Maybe there's something that maybe you know, like I said, Pleskava did take a set off Shveontek playing aggressive So we know Sabalenka is the most aggressive player on tour. Can she use that today? Find out very interesting final very fun final There's so many matches we wanted to see this year and I feel like we've seen most of them I've been like out of all the matches we wanted to see I feel like we're getting all that we're getting all their requests Which is great. The only matches we haven't seen are like Elkres Djokovic, you know Elkres Nadal Nadal Djokovic uh, we haven't seen um Well, we've seen Shveontek now play the three players Who have been dominating so far this year and Shveontek uh in uh Sabalenka Krojikovic and and She's even played Pogula and Rabakina and she's played all the big guns Well now she has anyway Let's feel like we're getting 2023 such an interesting year for tennis. It's so good I love it and also, you know without the goats playing in the big tournaments We're getting the you know Sinner and Elkres playing we get Sinner and Medvedev We get Elkres Medvedev. We've gotten Sinzipas playing Elkres now. We're getting you know, although Sinner Sinzipas has been a thing. We haven't seen Sinzipas Medvedev yet, but we'll get that eventually But how are we doing chat? What's up? Long time no see it has been Yes, like 12 hours, but yes First final of the world number one and two meeting since 2018 Australian Open. Yeah, I read that stat On uh on twitter. That's amazing That's a crazy stat. So the first one two meeting and it just shows how over the last five years how random How random things have been on the wta and I think maybe 2023 is The end of that times, you know, the end of the random times now we're gonna get These kind of matches where we get one two or two three or three one or four five and you know All these big top ten is playing because like I said in the big finals this year Australian Open Sabalenka Rabakina Abu Dhabi Benchich Samsonova a little bit weird, but Bench is top ten In Doha, we had Pagula versus Shriyantek in Dubai Krujikov versus Shriyantek Goff and Pagula made the semis Indian Wells Was a big clash between Rabakina and Sabalenka again And of course Kovitava who's now in the top 10 Will played Rabakina in the Miami final and then Jabir plays Ben played Bench in in Charleston So we're getting like the the 500 and above tournaments are getting these matches not But last year we were getting, you know Not too many of these matches. We're getting sort of random matches even 2021. Let's go back to 21 for a second You know in Australia. We had Osaka Brady Brady being random Osaka being obvious In Dubai, we had Mugarutha Krujikov. Krujikov was super random back then In Miami, we had Barty versus Andrescu. Maybe not so random Charleston that year was Kudamato versus Kovinich In Stuka, we had Sabalenka versus Barty, which was a top 10 clash Madrid was Sabalenka, Barty too, and then Sviantec took out Pliscava in Italy French Open was Krujikov versus Pavlićenkova, one of the most random finals of recent memory Wimbledon final was Barty Pliscava, not so random top 10 clash US Open final of course super random, Rotterdam versus Fernandez On the way there was Georgie Pliscava in Canada, Barty Teichman in Sintzi And then Indian Wells at the end of the year was Podosa who wasn't really a top 10er at the time Took out Azarenka and the WTF finals was Konservate Mugarutha who now were not even in the top 50 or top 30 So Yeah times have changed Times have changed, which I'm excited because uh, it's nice to see the same players playing the big finals Because then you guys get to you know, see who these players are and learn about them instead of just watching one match You can watch, you know, two three big matches and We can uh, we can see what they're made of but these two ladies have a good rivalry I would say what it's a big match today because the Shriyantek goes up 5-2 in this rivalry It's not really a close rivalry But Sabalenka gets it 4-3 Going into the next tournament is going to be huge 22 was random matches, but Shriyantek is winning most Yeah, it was like Shriyantek and then everyone else was kind of like trying to get to the final Uh, I chose Sabalenka to win but good luck to both. Yeah It's gonna be epic. This is going to be such a match. It should be hyped. It's kind of like I guess we kind of didn't get the match we wanted yesterday with um, Jabur and Shriyantek and that's kind of I guess Coming to today we've been able to get that match or get a at least a rematch um, or a Very good, you know match up as well And that's just credit to these ladies for being consistent, you know last year was one player was being consistent Now everyone is when's the next wta? Uh next week madrid Going straight into madrid next week Uh, they have some of the best tournaments of the year leading up to slam to a slam They do yeah, that's that's how they they structure the tournaments to lead into the slam with some of the big events rome madrid Um, you know all those ones Sabalenka deserves it more Um, look Sabalenka's made three finals here now. This is a third final in a row And she said last year she wants this Porsche. She wants this freaking car Um, and like I said earlier in the week, this is a very prestigious event not just because it's a Porsche And you know Porsche's blah blah blah, whatever Um prize money wise. It's very very lucrative Uh, the winner of this tournament Um, we'll get Let me triple check Uh, we'll they'll get 470 points, which doesn't really matter at the moment because you know Even though these two are going for one and two It does matter a little bit closing the gap, but Fiontech's still well on well on top in uh in this, uh When it comes to that, um, why can't I find prize money? Is there no prize money on any website? That's crazy Uh, but I'll tell you who's won this event before this is a this is a The big names win this Tracy Austin won it four times in a row in its inception back in 1978 Martina won it five six times Martina Navarro Lova six times over the span of a decade Uh, you also have players like Hingis winning it four times Davenport won it three times Kleisters Uh, one of the couple of times Justin Ennin as well one of the couple of times Kerber Sharapova wanted a bunch of times as well during the 2010s Uh, obviously Shiontech's got one, Barty's got one, Cavitiva won this back in 2019 again All these Grand Slam champions Kuznetsova as well Uh, who else? Mary Pierce won it back in the day Sabatini also won it back in the day. So It's won by the biggest now. Steffi hasn't won it Which is kind of weird because Steffi Germany German tournament Steffi. She didn't win this She only made the final back in 20 back in 1984 Uh, so didn't really Steffi never won this which is I mean if Steffi had won and Serena obviously hasn't won this either Serena I don't think she's even She's never made a final So I don't know where Serena's been when this tournament's been played, but obviously went from sunshine double to Madrid or wherever, but um, yeah, this is a prestigious event It feels like a 1000 event but um Without the 1000 points attached and it's a small draw So they would never make this a thousand event because it'll be too exclusive. It wouldn't be fair If only they could make a couple of courts outside the stadium so that they can play more tennis matches outside Therefore there we're gonna actually have a big draw. I'm gonna have a 56 player draw. So yeah 120k for the winner. There you go 100,000 euro. There you go Uh, Halep didn't even get a final either. Yeah, it's Halep not even not a final here either It is a faster indoor court, but then maybe Serena didn't play this event Maybe maybe that's why Serena's not here. Has never been here because she never played in the uh In this stucco Let me check All right, she's gonna serve first. That's big That's big for uh, because you know, once Sabalenka serving first get off for a quick start Let me check stucco stucco. There it is Serena played. Oh, she didn't play it a couple times 2007 2008 She made the semi quarter finals in 2007 and then lost first round in 2008. So she only played it twice Uh, lost a kuznet sober in 07. I think she went on to win the whole thing She uh, no she made the semis and lost. So yeah Serena in uh Yeah, she was actually number 16. She lost to kuznet sober who was number two in the at the time Uh, just in in and won the whole thing So yeah, so when you decided she played a couple times she was like that's enough I can just buy myself a Porsche. I don't need to I don't need to play this tournament to get a car Madrid draws out today it is it's out later, isn't it? Uh, raffa never wanted either. That's true. Raffa's never won this event. That is I mean, yeah, he's never won this wta event Justin in and her clay was insane. Yeah, she's one of the greatest clay court players of all time. Justin in and fjontek I feel like if fjontek try matches what justin in and done She probably will Probably pass her even, you know um, I think that would be We would talk about fjontek's being one of the greatest clay court players of all time if she can match What justin in and did she still a couple of french opens behind? But if she wins this tournament She'll at least match justin in and stook guard record Uh, anyone watch table tennis? Um No, but i'm sure someone in the chat will Justin in was the last player to went to defend rolling garros really see if she does that Okay, well fjontek's trying to get that. I feel like justin in and is the next is the next person fjontek's trying to be Replicate results on clay and try and overtake her. All right chat. It's happening. Let me know Who is going to win? The 2023 stook guard Open i'm going with fjontek in three But man sabalenka Be rough for her to lose three finals in a row at the same event She lost the party two years ago. She lost to fjontek last year and now she gets a rematch A lot of people gone sabalenka. Okay fjontek. Okay Matches started. Yeah quick start as we're serving out of the front of sabalenka return goes long And it's 15 love fjontek The betting goes to fjontek So she is the favorite No surprise. She only lost one match on clay last year. She would be this lady on clay twice 15 love Does anyone have any actual bets on this match? Let me know in the chat Because we're serving the back in the sabalenka return to the front of fjontek Fjontek from sabalenka goes Into the back in the fjontek the back and sabalenka fjontek forehand again to the front of sabalenka That's a good shot. Very nice sabalenka. This is going to be our biggest TV world This feels like a clash of the titans Last year when these two played it felt like an exciting match But this year with what sabalenka's done this year so far. We're in the australian open It's it's another level now and with the number one ranking up for grabs. This match is huge 15 all I got money on fjontek on three in three. No worries. Rebecca. Good to have you back 15 all is we're to serve now the 400 fjont sabalenka in the net Good serve from fjontek 30 15 fjontek's gonna have to serve well today Remember when she played push go up push go was nailing returns. We know sabalenka can do that The first serve crucial for fjontek Fjontek can only lose the world number one ranking going into wimbledon. I think I she can't lose it today but it is up for grabs because The gap between the two will change As sabalenka hits that wide good serve again fjontek So if sabalenka wins this she'll be 1800 points behind If she loses this should be 2000 points behind. So there's a 200 point swing Now two of 1800 is a lot of points But really if sabalenka goes and plays miami Sorry madrid next week, which she has won before and fjontek skips it because she doesn't like playing madrid Then there's another 1000 points potentially and then the french open in rome and two different, you know 3000 points for fjontek to defend So we're not going to have a change of number one ranking before the french But after the french we could Depending on these two results or these ladies results does depend on this as well No, every every points matter We're going to return now the backhand Of sabalenka four on the forehand as fjontek hits backhand again to the backhand as sabalenka into the backhand As fjontek got the stretch sabalenka with the backhand down the line Fjontek gets with the forehand sabalenka nailing the ball four on the forehand as we get a backhand now sabalenka Fjontek gets it back in the sabalenka on the stretch Goes out And fjontek gets the first game one love but man, they're starting to hit the ball hard already One love fjontek who's got her Little ukraine badge back on her hat which people were saying where is it? She just said she forgot it She just forgot to change it on her hat when she changed brands She had it on her old hat with the old brand that she can't wear Okay one love And there's clash of the titans The ozopen champ Versus the three time Grand slam champion The current us open french open champ versus the current australian open champ Finals record in their history 12 wins three losses for fjontek 13 wins nine losses for sabalenka So they're both Played a hell of a lot of finals in their Careers so far Fjontek's not giving this one up. She brings her best to finals. Yeah, she is the finals queen She wasn't till recently until the kredjic of a beta twice in finals She's only lost two finals so three finals two of those were to the same lady as a return now the back end is sabalenka smacks a winner And it's 15 love So kredjic could be the only lady to beat fjontek in finals twice. I think fjontek lost their first ever final um Back in the day Got him when that was back in whenever All right, so they're telling the crowd. I think to uh still taking photos with the flash because it is annoying all right 15 love sabalenka with a serve Down to see the forage fjontek good return the back of sabalenka who hits it in the net powerful return from fjontek 15 all 15 all 15 all is Sabalenka serves again First game to the final she serves Into the backhand. That's a fault second serve Although this is the only the uh, actually it's she's played a lot of um players twice in finals Before she's played bardi two times in finals mertens uh reback in it risk and now fjontek Back to or two times in the finals is we're going to find out a line. That's a good shot from sabalenka and fjontek hits it wide 30 15 So when she played she's beaten risk in the final twine finals twice 2-0 Uh with reback in her it's 1-1 and that's this year of course with bardi it's 1-1 that was in stucke guard and then in Madrid the next week. Uh, she lost the first got the second And then uh against mertens she Lost her first and then 1-0 second That's about two years apart as that backhand goes out good serve from sabalenka 40 15 So there's only one time where she's lost. She's won the first final that played and then lost the second and that was against reback in her Where she won the first final in australian and lost in indian wells So that's not a bad record to you know, she always wins the second meet-up in a final besides that one reback in a loss so you can Remember that I guess that makes a difference 40 15 40 15 is sabalenka serves In the backhand fjontek great return sabalenka with a slice that goes in fjontek forehand winner too good unbelievable 40 30 massive forehand from igosh fjontek 40 30 So a chance of a sabalenka to get on the board I'm gonna go on the chat. Who's winning this first set? Do you reckon who's gonna take out this first set? 40 30 first serve is a fault Second server also got rublev and runa playing in different finals tonight During this match. So we're keeping on those as well And then alcaraz city pass Later as we had a forehand now back in now. Sorry for the backhand sabalenka back in our fjontek Into the forehand of sabalenka the backhand fjontek on the stretch gets it back in the backhand the sabalenka smacks it in the net sabalenka's looking a little frazzled deuce He's looking like she looks like she's panicking a little bit as we get to deuce in 40 15 She's looking a little nervous sabalenka in this first game And she serves out why the forehand fjontek great return sabalenka gets it back in the fjontek on the stretch with a slide as sabalenka in the net See sabalenka just hit one of her biggest serves and it came back and that's the difference between fjontek and everybody else Most of the time sabalenka doesn't get a good return off a good serve like that Which is playing the best player on the planet advantage fjontek great point To start us off Sabalenka's serve is not as effective today serve Is a fault Fjontek's reading the serve so well hitting the ball so clean second serve Second serve sabalenka Demity the fjontek fjontek from sabalenka again to the fjontek who shanks it out And sabalenka survives back to deuce And sabalenka is under a lot of pressure here And she's just kind of rushing everything a little bit. She's you know trying to hit winners quickly He's not being patient. All right back to deuce just saved the first break point of the match Keep serving to the forehand as well, which fjontek's reading well She serves down 10 out of the back into fjontek that slice goes in Sabalenka hit the stretch to the fjontek all but fjontek missed it fjontek was there though missed us missed the forehand advantage sabalenka And i wonder if sabalenka is going to take note because she hit a big serve down the tee and fjontek sliced it back creating a weak return So i wonder if she's going to avoid hitting it to the forehand because the forehand seems to be working well fjontek especially off that serve fjontek unlucky had a chance maybe to hit a return hit a pass Advantage sabalenka He serves out wide the back of fjontek And it was a late call The umpire's gonna get out the chair. She says it's out. So the umpire's not gonna change her mind unless she I mean umpires don't change their mind when they say it's out. They're not gonna look at the mark and go. Whoops. I'm my bad They ain't gonna change it. All right second serve advantage sabalenka Menorris can you stop being toxic in the chat, please? Stop saying eager is cheating. She's not cheating. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you should be bad towards her Sabalenka with a winner down the line bang. This is gonna be our biggest and it's one one, please. Can we not do that Celebrate sabalenka if you want to go for her. Don't put down fjontek. Thank you and that is all Um, hey roman thank you for coming member appreciate it. Welcome. All right. My prediction is sabalenka will beat fjontek. Okay Here we go one one in this huge final It feels like a one thousand event. It's maybe it should be second sir fjontek Who looks less nervous fjontek looks less nervous to start us off I was going to serve now the form of sabalenka and sabalenka dumps in the net Sinner's out of madrid. Is that Why is madrid madrid might as well be a 500 event at this point if that is true Kokonakas is out of madrid qualis. So he's into the main draw. Sinner is out of madrid. Bloody hell madrid's fallen apart. Who's gonna win madrid? Bloody Alex Diminor maybe I hope serve. You're awesome 15 love First serve is a fault second serve So maybe his illness was more than illness. Maybe he wasn't just sick Don't pull out when you're sick. Maybe he's got something else 15 love Is it a serve out while at the back end of Sabalenka backing out from fjontek to the form of sabalenka into the back of fjontek back into sabalenka again To the back of fjontek on the stretch into the back end of sabalenka fjontek gets it again on the stretch sabalenka goes again The back is fjontek sabalenka forehand open court Fjontek doing a lot of running sabalenka in control forehand winner from sabalenka huge 15-0 Yeah, yannick's out maybe rublev Maybe rublev's the the man to win madrid. That'd be pretty cool to see rublev do it. Oh runa Maybe runa alcaraz Well, who are the favorites now in madrid alcaraz runa sidze past rublev those four guys mevvedev Can you imagine Medi wins madrid. Hey, you could win madrid. Yeah fritz might be up there too ah 15-0 Serve out why the form of sabalenka for now from fjontek the back end of sabalenka into the form of fjontek the sabalenka gets it long 30 15 mevvedev's ever going to win a clay court masters. It would probably be on a fast madrid court Right. I mean his best chance is going to be in madrid because it's going to suit his game It's going to suit his game the most, right? okay 30 15 He's been serving the back end of sabalenka back in as fjontek down the lines a winner huge winner 40 15 40 15 A little bit lucky there is fjontek with the tape but he looked So solid so far 40 15 as fjontek serves Into the form of sabalenka good return fjontek gets it into the form of sabalenka back in as fjontek goes wide Try to go back behind sabalenka and just miss fired 40 30 40 30 I'm gonna serve for Fjontek to stay in front man. This feels like a huge It just has such a great like such a big match energy bme I'm going to serve in the back end of sabalenka and that's a let Just like what cindy pasanelka is going to feel like as well. I feel They've both got that just both feel like You know, it's not worth, you know, they're not worth the most points and it's not worth the most money But it's worth a lot in this rivalry As with a back end a backhand rally another one from sabalenka into the back end of Fjontek's the back end of sabalenka don't just on the line. It's a winner from sabalenka unbelievable Gee sabalenka's found her form now reduce I just feel you know when matches feel like there's more on the line than just the prize money in the You know the ranking It feels like if sabalenka was winning to win this She'd back herself every time she plays fjontek if she won the last two matches they played Especially on a clay court where fjontek's home turf But if fjontek gets the win and stays up five two in this head-to-head she might just be like, you know What that one win was a fluke and you're not going to beat me again. So it's got a lot at stake Psychologically as well as we're back in down line. That's a great shot from fjontek now She comes in with a forehand and smacks it away and a big fist bump there from fjontek advantage advantage fjontek The first three games of me. I mean, I'm even just got sweaty palms. It's like intense every point It's intense advantage fjontek To get the lead again serving to the font of sabalenka for nice fjontek goes in the front of sabalenka who hits it Wides fjontek stays in front two one Two one in the sec in the first set Feels like the second set with long first games All right. What is uh, shryantz? Sorry, what is jaber's injury exactly? Um, we don't know exactly, but it looked like a lower like a calf muscle So that's not going to be good. Um, I think didn't samona hell have a similar injury where she Well, she had a calf tear in her calf And it kind of came out of nowhere where she kind of just stepped on one side and then all of a sudden In 21 was a 2021 where she just had a Half tear and it just came out of like just stepping to the side If it's like that, that's that's sad Um, hopefully it's not that hopefully it's just that maybe a Maybe a strain or a muscle strain Nothing sinister, but yeah It looked like it was lower leg Swollen calf error. Yeah. Yeah Better not the same be the same as halibs. Yeah, halibs. Halib was out for a while Wasn't halib out for like windward and the us. Sorry windward and the french, right? Um, yeah, it's kind of uh came out of nowhere exactly It looked kind of like a serious injury like light way. Yeah, well, she kind of like It kind of came out of nowhere. I mean she just kind of stepped across The worst case it could be Achilles. I mean If anyone remembers Kobe When he did his Achilles, I remember because I'm a massive Kobe fan. He went To like step and he just like fell over and you're like, oh He fell over and then he got back up and he could walk because these Achilles just snapped So hopefully it's not that hopefully it's a Muscle pull or it's just she's just like pulling a muscle that she can rest up and be fine for maybe roam I don't think she plays Madrid Um, if it's a tear Yeah, it didn't feel if it was an Achilles She wouldn't have been able to keep playing games. So Achilles out of the question. I think But she tried to play two more games. She wouldn't have been able to walk it with Achilles. I don't think it's I don't think it's that bad But a tear could put her out of the french because that could take up to um I mean it took Simone Hallop nearly two three months to get back on court After that Achilles, uh, I'm sorry after that calf tear that she got in 21 I think it was in uh, was it in Madrid?

What's your favorite or what's your most? Anticipated trilogy of this year because we've already had a couple of players play each other twice trilogy meaning the third Match in this case So go check out the go check it out because there's a few good ones I don't know if I missed any but go check out that go check out the The post and comment on the post and tell me what's your most anticipated trilogy? This year Sabalenka Rebecca is one of those. She's actually one of those. She's played. There's one one this year Unfortunately trilogy can't be we're back in his fiance because it's two zero so kind of already has been done But yeah, let me let me know on Twitter Sabalenka the screamer in the heavy grunter. She is she is a loud Hitting player. Yeah, cool. Let a rubber match. Yeah, I guess that's yeah Trilla the trilogy sounds cooler. It sounds a little bit more a little bit more It's like a trilogy in movies, right? or in fights Rubella Veruna, have they played twice this year though? I don't know if they play twice They've got a chance against Carlos Sure By three two is gonna return down from she got a good return Sabalenka gets it back in the back end It's never on the stretch goes down the line is out industry on tech love 15 Trilogy is three. Yeah Trilogy is three So what's your favorite? trilogy of 2023 we've already had like Medvedev Djokovic. They've played twice already. It's one one Have Runa Rubella play two. Oh, yeah, they have But Rubella have won both of them. So it's not a trilogy It's not a trilogy if they've won both so Rubella is two zero. I can't even if Runa wins the next it's like it's kind of like Kind of a trilogy between Shriontech and Rebecca because they've already played twice this year. It's two zero back in a back end now as Sabalenka tries Stay in touch back and again into the back of Shriontech to the fort of Sabalenka Shriontech Can't get that one Sabalenka smacks it inside out forehand winner unbelievable. Yeah, like Ali informant. That's it That's it. It's the first time These two ladies are faced off this year I'm sure it won't be the last I'm sure it won't be anywhere but a semi-final or final this year I don't think unless Jabur or Pagula or someone below Sabalenka wins a slam this year. I don't think she's gonna be knocked off the top two spot I think Sabalenka is gonna be less than two in the world Unless she has something terrible happen in the next doesn't play, you know doesn't play for some reason and And that happens 15 hours with a fine-to-fine rally again to the forest riontech For now from Sabalenka again to the forest riontech who over hits it Shriontech just trying to hit a little bit too aggressive And be a little bit too aggressive 30 15 30 15 Just joining us. We've had a couple of break points in the match already I'm sorry one break point in the match already Shriontech had a chance to break in the first game 32 minutes played for six games, but it doesn't feel slow Just feels intense as we don't return now in the form of Sabalenka for now Shriontech again To the forest Sabalenka into the forest riontech on the stretch Sabalenka with the forehand again to the forest riontech They're going with a lot of angles back in our into the open court. She doesn't I can't get it Sabalenka just too good on the angle 40 15 Shriontech slipped over a little bit as well. She's slipping over a bit today Shriontech. She's losing her footing Now I shot down the line, but Sabalenka smokes it into the back end 40 15 Sabalenka serves fault second serve second serve Sabalenka Into the back of Shriontech back in a Sabalenka into the forest riontech into the forest Sabalenka and she hits it out Sabalenka 40 30 40 30 Also Runa and van is actually we've just hit the court Runa is up a break already in the first game Rublev Livevich coming on as well in about 15 minutes. So three finals on the same time here But this is the one that we everyone cares about as we're going to return now going out from Shriontech and it's 33 but the umpires get out of the chair If it's in it's a replay If it's out, it's three three and the ball was out. We're going unbelievable Go into the game three three if you don't take to serve Man 30 minutes or 35 minutes for six games usually is a slow slog, but I guess for us, I mean this I mean this match has been there's not been a boring points here far from boring Back to Shriontech can she serve? And stay in front Face the break point yet first of the fault second serve second serve Second service into the backhand slice of Sabalenka back in that Shriontech and Sabalenka is passed in the net And Sabalenka with a slice backhand. You don't see that too often 15 love usually the slice type 15 love Shriontech serves again Down to the foreigners Sabalenka return goes in the Foreigners Shriontech Foreigners Sabalenka again to the Foreigners Shriontech Sabalenka with a forehand again to the Foreigners Shriontech down the line That's a good shot Sabalenka with a slice gets it But it just goes long 30 love good hitting from Shriontech making Sabalenka move 30 love Roon is up to love by the way. We'll keep an eye on his score as well because of course Hogger Roona trying to win his first title of the year after making the final last week in Monte Carlo 30 love I miss watching Kirios.

Oh Shriontech in the net Shriontech hits it in the net 30 all doesn't face the break point yet if you had a break point Couldn't convert now she's got a Try and avoid getting a break point down here 30 all So almost at 400 likes thank you for that appreciate 30 all Shriontech big point So that why the foreign Sabalenka who shanks it and it goes out good serve clutch From Shriontech 40 30 40 30 take the 4-3 lead here serve Into the backhand Sabalenka return goes in the back of Shriontech who hits a down the line and it's a winner Very nice must have been on the line unbelievable and Shriontech gets the 4-3 very nice backhand down the line Who's gonna crack first It's the best two players on the planet.

Oh the world number one starting to pounce 30 all Does anyone else get like a federal erotic vibe? I don't know why I think it's maybe because the power of Saberlinke give me erotic vibe and maybe the Dominance of Shrion tech is kind of like a Federer mid-2000s vibe I know people are gonna say raffa but raffa erotic never really had a good rivalry Never really never really Click this is more I mean Brad erotic and Federer now had a good rivalry I guess back in after Shrion take goes in the four to Saberlinke For one as Shrion take is a lob Saberlinke with a smash She puts it down with the lob comes back. Oh, it goes in Saberlinke with another smash onto the net You knew it was gonna happen the second lob goes over and the second smash goes in the net 3040 Shrion tech's defense gets her a second break point man Two lobs and you just felt like Saberlinke was gonna smash one of them in the net. That's probably the easier one the bounce smash Great defense and a break point for the world number one 3040 Saberlinke with a serve How wide great search Shrion tech can't get it goes out on the return Massive save by the world number two Deuce ridiculous And a big shout from Saberlinke as well Saberlinke is more like Saffin. Yeah, maybe Saffin Federer. That's actually a pretty maybe Saffin Federer You might be right Saffin Federer might be a bit more of a because they did have a bit of a rivalry Is that well, that was a very late call by the umpire Saberlinke is not it does not believe that was a fault the umpire is not gonna change your mind Man, we need Hawkeye Saberlinke is having a look going Is it out Saberlinke can't go over and check closer is Hashtag Hawkeye on clay All right second serve coming up That's a tough one for Saberlinke up because she thought she hit that big serve and it was a great serve had it gone in Panko was right Hashtag Panko was right. All right second serve Into the bat a foreign Shrion tech back in a Saberlinke up into the back of Shrion tech who smacks a winner down the line Lovely back in again Shrion tech is ready to go ready to break advantage If they are using Hawkeye, there is no doubt. Well, there is doubt, but little less doubt. I Don't know I feel like the umpires do make mistakes on clay. I don't know I feel like we've already seen some mistakes on clay last week in Monte Carlo Second break point of the game here Shrion tech to get the break serve the set return goes in the four to Saberlinke Four-nash Shrion tech into the four to Saberlinke on the stretch that goes in Shrion tech down the line hit the tape goes over Saberlinke gets with the backhand to go Saberlinke too good. She survives back to deuce Man Shrion tech had a chance to hit the tape and maybe gave Saberlinke a little Extra time to hit the backhand winner But she still had to do it Huge backhand from Saberlinke Back to deuce Feels like this is a different Saberlinke that Shrion takes facing today Not the same as what they played last year and she hasn't even hit a you know what Not gonna say it first serve goes in the net. Oh second serve. I'm gonna say it Second serve Saberlinke deuce Second serve I didn't say it so it doesn't that's why I didn't say it The first double fold of the day.

I didn't jinx anything It's coincidence as we're back in a back-out rally into the fort of Saberlinke who hits it in the net 30 love It was a coincidence. How dare you say it was not There's no such thing as a curse Leave me out of this Leave me out of this. I didn't do nothing 30 love Shriyantek two points away from the first set So that why the fort of Saberlinke good return she wants it gets it back in a Saberlinke was wide Saberlinke is trying too hard now to hit the winners She's not setting the points up 40 love three set points for eager shriyantek 40 love Shriyantek serves Take the first set in this Top two clash haven't seen a top two clash on the lady side since 2018 We've seen on the men's side a fair bit on the lady side.

Let's hope for Saberlinke's sake. She can fight back in the second Man, what a start. What a final top two clash. Here we go Okay Shriyantek winning a we'll get three Porsche soon. Well, she can buy probably three But you know you actually win her second if she wins today That is a thing All right, let's answer questions Six ones for Shriyantek in the second you reckon all right Anyone thinks Saberlinke could come back No one thinks Saberlinke can come fight back There have been times where Saberlinke is being down a set wins the next one, you know, hasn't wait. I don't know if this Let me triple check. I don't know if that's happened in this matchup, but it's definitely happened That was only one break There's only one break in that set WTA finals Saberlinke won the first set lost the second won the third the US up and she won the first lost The second lost the third WTA finals 2021 lost the first won the second and third So she has come back against Shriyantek once before you know, they played five what five times last year these two It was for one in favor of Shriyantek, but they played five times last year Doha Stuttgart Rome US Open in the WTA finals. This is a rivalry, but can only be a good rivalry if it's close Nobody wants to see a five a ten-two rivalry Yeah, Sinner's out of Madrid and he joins the list of unfortunate souls I've been lurking come on seven. They could take it in three. Okay Rooted for either player. How will this affect the rankings? It won't affect the rankings win lose It doesn't matter who wins or loses. It won't affect the rankings Um, yeah, I won't affect the rankings, but um, it will Brian I didn't want to believe it, but camcurs is real It's not real chat. Don't you don't you don't there's a lot of new people in the chat. Don't need your brainwashing chat Your brain was this is the lie. All right, anyone who's new to the stream. This is not a thing Don't listen to people in the chat. There's Spreading lies. All right. They're spreading lies. It was a coincidence. That's only ever happened that one time ever It's never happened since I've never done it before Never ever as that happened. Don't corrupt the new people in the chat, please God damn it Comments as curse always been thing. Yeah. Yeah, but that was I didn't say anything go wash the reef. I didn't say anything. I Said she's serving. Okay Moving on. This isn't this is not a cold as a circus exactly Just tuned in who will who's gonna miss Madrid? Everyone pretty much everybody How long was that first set? It was 55 minutes Freyantech should play Madrid to keep her number one rank if she doesn't play Madrid She'll still be number one even if Sabalenka wins Madrid So it doesn't have to play Madrid to stay number one I don't think she will I to be honest like I said, I think if she won't take wins this match She will not play Madrid because she didn't play last year She doesn't need to play Madrid and why would she try it like the conditions are tough in Madrid, you know the high altitude high altitude conditions Taxing on the body. Why would you play Madrid if you don't have to and then play Rome instead? That's Freyantech last year was the reason she put out of Madrid. I think with her shoulder But more or more so is because she was just trying to manage Manage herself through the clay court season But I think she said the what the start a lot of this year. She said I don't really like going to Madrid high altitude You know taxing on the body all those things in fact, I think she's only played Madrid once right she lost the body He played Madrid. Yeah once and she lost in the third round to Yeah to party so I don't think she's going to Madrid If she wins this match and she doesn't have to go to Madrid and I think that's a good thing I don't think she won't take playing Madrid would It would hurt her chances of French. Why would she overload herself? Physically when she can she already had a month off with Miami. She never played that She wins this she goes to Rome defends that title goes to Then goes to French open with two, you know clay court titles or at least two clay court events That's enough, you know was enough last year. She's a backhand winner and it's love 15. She fiontech might just run away with this Wouldn't be the first time Yeah, Madrid is conditions are tricky and also Madrid favours the bigger hitters So she fiontech playing Sabalenka in Madrid with favours Sabalenka you would expect Sabalenka is playing Madrid unless something bad happens in the next hour. She will be playing Madrid and She's done well there. She won that tournament back two years ago So, yeah, she's a fine winner there Sabalenka 15 all why always players pull out of Madrid and ATP WTA side It takes away a thousand points I think the real reason is or two reasons, right? Or three reasons one because they're actually injured and they don't want to play because they don't want to get injured more Based on the T Bank The second reason is because the altitude and the taxing conditions so they don't want to push themselves You know, it's high altitude which means thin air which means it's harder to physically taxing and another one The third reason is because it's not the same as the French open the reason why Rome is so popular compared to Madrid It's because the conditions are so much more like the French open in Rome than in Madrid in Madrid. It's faster, you know It's a faster court. It's a you know Faster conditions not very French open like so it's not great preparation. Look at Elkres, right beat Everyone at the at the Madrid lost to the guy. He's smacked in the Madrid final at the French open Rome is much more of a better warmer in terms of conditions, which is why I Think that's probably a reason why some people do you know get out of Madrid as we announced on the tee at 30 or 40 30 Sabalenka for the first game of the second and also having Roman Madrid back to back It's kind of like the sunshine double the dirty double It's a big tournament. It's actually expanded this year as well. So You know, maybe players are trying to manage their schedule a little bit more I mean the Madrid withdrawal list is ridiculous We'll talk about later 40 30 second serve Sabalenka They can serve in the fornish fiancee great return seven like it gets it back in a shrey on tech It's seven gets a passing shot in the net and we're a doce first game first game of the second Doce Already one hour played as we get a serve again The Sabalenka trying to get off to a good start. Now. Remember she served second in that first set So she's trying to get in the lead in the set for the first time as we are serving the net second serve Second serve Into the fornish fiancee good return to for the Sabalenka shrey on tech with the backhand on the stretch gets it back in the backhand As that goes in down to the fornish fiancee seven length of the stretch goes wide with her forehand down the line And it's advantage shrey on tech break point advantage shrey on tech to get off to a great start In the second vantage shrey on tech Sabalenka serves a fault second serve second serve Second serves a double fault and there's the break Both breaks in this match have come from double faults That one on break point the other one was to set up a break point Okay, ten minutes into the second set and it's one love shrey on tech now Let's go through the stats of that first set because the wta Don't give out the stats until the first game is done of the next set, which is really weird I mean, I don't know why they do that, but they do seven winners from shrey on tech seven errors So not bad serving very well 78% of first serves in and no break points faced Sabalenka 14 winners 18 errors and of course that one double fault It really was that one double fault for Sabalenka that really turned that first set Okay shrey on tech up with a set Now a break she serves again shrey on tech hasn't faced a break point yet Can Sabalenka cause some something to happen because she Somehow Get this break back She has had a couple of half chances, which are 30 or do points hasn't been able to Fully break though not yet. No one loves shrey on tech she serves Into the back in a Sabalenka back in a shrey on tech goes in the ford of Sabalenka Into the ford of shrey on tech on the stretch Sabalenka, you know when a shrey on tech in the net All right love 15 Love 15 first point goes to Sabalenka Sabalenka's best chance now would be to break straight back because I don't want to give shrey on take a lead Love 15.

Oh, you know, she's not out of this match yet Good defense though from Sabalenka that last point as well that last shot she probably could have hit a passing shot Instead of hitting a lob Okay, we go 30. Oh big point clutch point pressure point shrey on tech serves Shrey on tech serves Fault it's a third fault in a row. Okay, Sabalenka's big chance now Can she make this one count second serve Shrey on tech into the form of Sabalenka good return Shrey on take gets it with the forehand back in a Sabalenka cross-court Shrey on takes there with the backhand of her own into the form of Sabalenka But shrey on take back in again is a winner And it's 40 30 Shrey on take hit in the baseline Sabalenka is not happy The backhand was so deep it hit the back of the line Someone of the crowd yell out or was that just me hearing things? Maybe it was her grunt 40 30 Nice come back from Shrey on take despite missing all their first serves at love 30 40 30 To consolidate the break serve Into the back of the Sabalenka return goes in the form of Shrey on take and that's a win up too good This is gonna be on finish TV. She's the world number one for that reason All right Shrey on take Holds on to that break doesn't face a break point to love in the second Sabalenka three second serves To try and do something if she didn't really get a good return Shrey on take survives Okay, Sabalenka again has to hold here Sabalenka you go down a double break against Fion take You might as well go home. All right to love Shrey on take So Ruben Runa is up five three against van de Zanshel Rubelev is on serve against live each one one first set as we had a fine return now to the foreign Sabalenka for Nash Fion take again the foreign Sabalenka Into the foreign Shrey on take it's a winner Fion take starting to hit the lines love 15 This is getting a very sketchy for Sabalenka Love 15 love 15 Sabalenka with a serve again Now why the back in the Shrey on take a slice is it wide? That's a good serve 15 all Sabalenka's gonna get more first serves in 57 is too low And you can see there 35% of second serve points one It's not good for Sabalenka. She needs to get more first serves in and then she's got to somehow break back 15 all Sabalenka serves in the back of Shrey on take good return the back of Sabalenka back in a Shrey on take Into the foreign of Sabalenka again in the foreign Shrey on take Sabalenka with a four on the stretch Shrey on take gives with a point inside out Sabalenka backhand goes to the sky Shrey on take hits it backhand again from Sabalenka into the back of Shrey on take who hits it in the net Okay, 30 15 Shrey on take making an error Thought Sabalenka would finally be Shrey on take but nope 30 15. No worries Shannon. We'll see you later, mate 30 15 Sabalenka tries to Get on the board She serves in to the foreign Shrey on take good return the foreign Sabalenka foreign Shrey on take is a winner 30 all That's a good first serve to be Shrey on take has been reading the forehand really well on the set of the return Just smacking the returns. All right 30 all. This is not interesting anymore Have you watched WTA before I Would have you turn off your TV you'll come back in an hour and be like, oh, I can't believe I left Don't you don't leave This is just getting started if you even be I've never watched WTA match You better stay back in a backhand rally as Sabalenka hits in the net 30 40 Even now it's silly. Just stick around Nothing is over yet 30 40 Sabalenka trying to get on the board in the second 30 40 Can Sabalenka serve her way out of this Shrey on take served her way out of trouble Sabalenka serves out wide back and goes in back in a Sabalenka cross-court But again the back of Shrey on take in the back of the Sabalenka down the lines a winner from Sabalenka huge backhand she saves it back to do Good save from Sabalenka. I mean just absolutely smacking the crap out of that shot straight down the line a bit of a struggle the shoulders there from Sabalenka not the greatest Reaction, but we get to doce Sabalenka with a serve Now why good serve Shrey on take gets it for in a Sabalenka Shrey on take with a lob Sabalenka puts that smash away advantage Sabalenka to get on the board Nice serving nice forehand the smash that she missed in the first set one of the worst shots she hit in that first set Doesn't miss this time as we get a serve out wide. That's a fault Sabalenka is looking at the umpire saying can you check the umpire saying it was out. I'm not getting out of my chair So I'm not moving it was out Second serve hurry up advantage Sabalenka second serve Serving to the back of Shrey on take return goes in the back of the Sabalenka, but she hits it out Sabalenka And we're back to doce This might be the biggest game of the match for Sabalenka She's going to stay In this match. No worries. Merry. Welcome back to doce Sabalenka serves Down the tee good serve comes back, but it goes in the net from Shrey on take Nice serve Sabalenka advantage Massive serve down the tee Someone in the crowd goes come on arena Vanished Sabalenka Served entity the foreigners Shrey on take foreigners Sabalenka is out I don't know why she keeps serving to the four and of Shrey on take because Shrey on takes being hit some great returns off the first serves of Sabalenka She just went down the tail in the last serve a Big serve into the backhand and it didn't come back the forehand's coming back with More pace. I don't know why Sabalenka keeps on going there. Just keep attacking the backhand on the serve She says that it's in the back and it's Shrey on take that goes in Sabalenka forehands a winner. See That's the one she got a short return on that backhand puts away the forehand Let's go to the backhand if it works it works until Shrey on take figures it out Shrey on take doesn't want to take her hand off and slice the backhand She wants to try and hit with two hands, but if you've got her out wide or at least reaching She can't get power off that backhand. She's going to block it back Vanished Sabalenka serving to the backhand Shrey on take and that goes out. Look at that Two backhand serves to the backhand. She wins both points and she gets on the board two one In the second let's answer questions Where the drop shots the question drop shots are going to be too effective against Shrey on take. She's pretty quick Runa's mom is his racket service lady. Okay. Bye Runa serving to the first set against van de Zanshel Rubelev Looking to level things up at 2-2 in the first of his match Sabalenka needs plan B Yeah Why is Shrey on take so underrated? How do you mean? What do you mean by underrated like underrated because I don't think she's underrated in tennis. We all know We all know who she is and we all We know how good she is Drop shots don't exist in Sabalenka's game. Yeah, Sabalenka is not really known for drop shots, but it wouldn't be a good play anyway Against against Shrey on take because Shrey on take is quick Now Shrey on take drop shotting Sabalenka would be interesting Runa's playing well easy Sabalenka would destroy Shrey on take on grass. Okay Will Shrey on take B the WTGote? No No Way too early to say that You know, I've been of every time this question comes up. I say the same answer it's boring and it's just First of all, enjoy everything that she does, you know, don't put this expectation on her to be Serena Or anyone else just be excited about her winning matches and winning tournaments like this, right? And as we saw last year whenever I'm saying oh, she's going to be the greatest ever I mean look at what happened this year. We've had a few players step up To play, you know and and push for on take this year because it was never going to be a one person WTA it was always going to have players were going to rise But also look to the person that she's behind in this slam race And you know, let's see where she can get and she has to get another slam to get to her Sarkis level And Sabalenka hits a great return winner unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable love 15 um, and yeah, just enjoy every slam that she gets And count like, you know tick off the list. Who does she have to be? You know, what does she have to do to be the next In line, you know the next person Who, you know, plays with four slams or plays with, you know X amount of titles enjoy that Now there is a record that if she makes two more finals She will be the youngest person to make I think it's like the youngest player To make nine finals on clay In history, and I think Wozniaki has the record of eight So she has that to play for but she has to make the next two finals, which is you know The next couple of tournaments All right, serve in the form of Sabalenka smacks a return. Okay While I'm blabbing it's love 30. This is where Sabalenka was in the first game Can Sabalenka make this count? Love 30 is good She's got a break though She's a 150 weeks on the top behind Serena Yeah, she could be the I mean look longest world number one, but Sabalenka's gonna have something to say about that I love I love 30 Fjontek trying to serve This is where Sabalenka has to Convert these little chances Serving the form of Sabalenka good return the foolish fjontek Sabalenka four handle the stretch Goes in the foolish fjontek who hits it down alive for a winner never going to win that point 15 30 fjontek way too good 15 30 Runa wins the first set against van der Zanshel by the way He is one set away from defending the title in munich and Runa's Like I said with moussey to yesterday it takes two weeks to you know get everyone's attention Runa or we're paying attention to Runa right now, especially with Madrid falling apart. I mean Hogan Runa Rubelev Runa rematch question mark Backhand return goes to back into shriyantek back in now from Sabalenka down the line shriyantek gets with the forehand Sabalenka in control four in the net though. That was it. That was the point Sabalenka was on in control of that point. She smacks it in the net She's angry as well. She should be that was a huge chance That was a huge chance Missed opportunity for sabalenka 30 all Very very angry All right shriyantek with a serve she's been winning all the pressure points most of them anyway serve from Shriyantek 30 all Serve up by the forehand of sabalenka for now shriyantek again at the front of sabalenka To the front of shriyantek on the stretch that slice goes in for one now down the line from sabalenka is good too good Hey, it's a break point First break point of the day for sabalenka unbelievable unbelievable Finally converting those chances At half chance All right, here we go Can sabalenka break back Is it 29 unforced error is sabalenka jesus? All right 30 40 Shriyantek serves Into the back into sabalenka return goes outs good serve Sabalenka was never going to get that back. That was a huge serve right into the hip Nice body serve and we get to deuce The uh, lion bitch breaks rubelab first game to the final of uh, bosnia deuce as she serves Fault shriyantek second serve Second serve It's taking her time here shriyantek big second serve coming up She serves in the back in the sabalenka great return shriyantek on the stretch gets it Into the slice of sabalenka hits a drop shot in the net. Remember we're told about drop shots Not the right shot for sabalenka to hit She would have been better off hitting the slice Deep in the court. I think advantage shriyantek Get sabalenka It's not it Advantage shriyantek to get the three one in the second shriyantek with a serve There's a fault second serve second serve Sabalenka steps in Haven't seen her do that as she's the backhand return to the back of shriyantek back in her sabalenka again to the back of shriyantek Into the back of the sabalenka shriyantek with a forehand shriyantek Gets the three points sabalenka smacks it out And shriyantek survives the first test of the day three one In the second Live it's about to go four one against rubelab in the first set of his match jesus crazy All right three one shriyantek Sabalenka serving again Sabalenka gets annoyed annoyed easily. She needs to control her emotions of focus Yeah, we haven't seen her get loser loser emotions too much We did see her loser her call in the indian wales final where she double fought a lot a lot She's getting a little frustrated today, but she's playing the best player on the planet when she hit that backhand out sabalenka Love 15 That's a shame. She had a good serve Love 15 Sabalenka with a serve Is good shriyantek gets it back and runs at the net. Oh, it's sabalenka went straight at her And didn't even apologize shriyantek's charging the net As the smash is up Wow, that's a gutsy move shriyantek almost got knocked out jesus She ran at sabalenka sabalenka because you don't run at me Smacks it straight at her go you're gonna charge the net like that. I'm gonna go for you sabalenka was not She was not going anywhere else, but straight at her shriyantek ducking for cover Jesus And sabalenka is like sorry It's like you ran at me. So you came at me You ran at the smash. That's your fault back in a back end of sabalenka net 15 30 I mean look I think shriyantek was trying to maybe distract shriyant uh sabalenka from the smash but To be honest, I think she could have she didn't need to do that. So shriyantek I think she got to stay back and maybe not distracted trying to distract Anyway, 15 30 rubles on a medical timeout That's true Nice sabalenka With a good return there And it's 30 all nice hitting from sabalenka Uh, we have rubles on a medical timeout Just having a look at what it is Nice backhand down line from sabalenka.

I don't care about people kissing as that goes out on the return good serve from sabalenka They're literally just showing people kissing in the crowd. Can we please Get back to the players Why are we showing randoms in the crowd? This is annoying It mustn't have been that bad. It was maybe a change over timeout I don't know. I don't know what happened didn't look like anything sus All right, good return there from shriyantek back here now on the stretch goes in the back into sabalenka Shriyantek with the forehand into the front of sabalenka to the front of shriyantek sabalenka forehand Is into the shriyantek find again into the front of sabalenka shriyantek find again Goes in sabalenka gets it shriyantek find again as a winner finally.

As you just said about why the back of shriyantek good return the forehand sabalenka Into the forehand shriyantek on the stretch that goes in the net sabalenka survives And it's three two shriyantek in the second with a break Sabalenka hanging around the last two service games Obvious shriyantek have been tricky Okay, all right chat. How are we feeling? What a match. What a great match one two clash first time in the channel's history That we're watching the number one and the number two lady play Um, which is kind of crazy because it hasn't happened since 2018 australian open It's been a long time. In fact, I saw on nothing. It was um Maybe tennis abstract on twitter said that um Put out a put out a tweet about the last what since 2000 the one and two have played um a few times We did actually sorry we did watch bar in a final the one two in a final We've never seen them play a fine. We have actually seen them play Back in 2019 in the wta finals. It was number one body versus number two pliskeva In the semifinals. So it was the last time that the one and two played in anything Anything Was back in the semifinals, which is weird because you wouldn't think a semifinal would be one versus two But that's because the wta finals is round robin and you know, blah, blah, blah But the last time they played in a final was back in australian open 20 2018 it was was nearchy versus helip. We weren't around then channel hadn't been it wasn't born Uh, then back in 2015. So in the last what eight years, this is only the third time in a final That the number one and two are playing since 2015 it's crazy Uh between 2000 and 2015 they did it the number one and two played about how many times is that like 25 ish times in the last 20 so years, uh 30 what is it 30? 32 times it's been the 30s Third time in the last 23 years that the number one and two have played most good stats Chat to uh, jeff sackman over on twitter always comes up with stats uh, three two us open final what last year that was one versus three All right great return sable anchor unbelievable Jabir wasn't number two in the world at the us open. I think she was number three, right? um Jabir was number five Number two was um Who's number two at the us open? Good question. All right return now goes the back in his fjontech Who hit the winner down the line and sable is having a look at the mark and It hits the line the umpire says It's good I know I saw it hit the line, all right Our contibate was number two But osu was number four sakiri number three how that chimes have changed One shfiantech two uh, contibate sakiri three But osu four Two of those players are out of the top 10 actually two of those players are out of the top 30 one of those players Uh at the bottom of the top 10 is we're going to return now to the back end of shfiantech. That's a good shot Winner 30 15 Sable anchor was six. Jabir was five Rebecca was 25 madness Garcia was 17 in the world golf was 12 I mean Times have definitely changed on the wca now. Kredikov is 23. She's still around 12 ish But um, yeah Top 10 looks a lot different from six months ago As we're back in now to the four in a sable anchor four now from shfiantech again to the four in a sable anchor who hits it long 40 15 40 15 Chance for shfiantech did the four two and stay in front Right up in the contibate. Contibate lost a lot of points at the end of last year All the indoor tournaments that she couldn't uh defend And also the wta final so she went from number two in the world to number like 50 Within the span of a couple of months because of that good sir about wife shiantech. All right Come on And it's four two shfiantech in In the second Okay, which is the toughest wta. Which is the longest wta match in history.

I just uh can't afford a plane ticket All right 30 15 sabalinga serves Into the back of shfiantech good return sabalinga gets it back in shfiantech again with the slice of sabalinga That's a drop shot, but shfiantech hits it away and that's why you don't drop shot shfiantech 30 all And a big fist bump as well from shfiantech she's fired up She knows how big this match is One of the biggest matches we've seen in recent times in terms of clashes between the top She's like I want the you know, she's number one for a reason. She wants to show everyone You know the best plan on the planet wins against the second best. That's how it should be Six points away from the title shfiantech. I don't think I've ever seen shfiantech this fired up Not recently ace down the tee bang sabalinga's not done yet 40 30 Huge serve down the tee from sabalinga 40 30 40 30 I was looking at the wrong score. I was looking at live as he's 30 15 He's about to win the first set against rublev Oh All right, serve is good. The return goes in the back of the sabalinga sabalinga. It's a winner Nice from sabalinga Under pressure. She sticks around though for three shfiantech with With the lead and the break Can sabalinga fight back that will be the question Hopefully we'll find it. We'll get an answer in the next couple of games All right Can you actually play tennis well? Um, I mean I can hit a ball. That's really awesome The question jerk. I don't think you can be a tennis coach if you if you can't play a little bit But uh, yeah, I can I mean like I'm a I can hit a ball Rublev losing his mind. Yeah, I can imagine you just lost the first set Against live it. She's having the week. Uh a great week We had to beat two top ten players to win a title Our longest match is four hours of 45 minutes On the wta 10 eight in the third by way shfiantech sort of towel Covering her face trying to stay focused It's having a frozen this final Um, that's a bit harsh Then you're playing the best player on the planet for the first time this year on a clay court, you know, you're playing Playing shfiantech on clay is like playing raffa on clay, you know Like that seems to be what we're getting the same vibe last year. She lost one match on clay I don't think sabalinga frozen this fine so far. She's been She's played as well as she anyone has played against fiontech Can play on against fiontech on a clay court. So I think that's a bit unfair And it's not over yet. Sabalinga is still in this match By the way, we're almost at 132k. Thank you for that. Don't forget to subscribe Uh, if you haven't already All right Here we go Shiontech serving she has hasn't been Serving and holding easy as easy in this uh In this second set as we go serve. That's a fault second serve I was here before k akam had 30k. Thank you, uh king. Welcome back, mate. You are a long time supporter appreciate it 40 30 sorry 4 3 And she serves a second serve shiontech that goes in the back of sabalinga who dumps it in the net And it's 15 love Big backhand error 15 love shiontech seven points away from defending the title in stuttgart he's been a very Probably been the best clay court player in the last Probably three years. I mean Has anyone got a better record that shiontech on clay over the last three like since 2020 probably not I mean barty Probably not. I don't think barty's I mean who's named the three best clay courters On the wt go a bit of turn now from sabalinga that goes out good second serve Kicks it out wide. It's 30 love. I mean shiontech's got to be the best clay courter Because she won the french open in 2020 2021 she Still run one roam Last year speaks for itself I mean hell up. Yeah, but hell of lately hell up in the last You know since 2020 Krijakava. Yeah, but krijakava hasn't done much Well, she didn't do much last year because she was injured and she hits an a70 40 love Sharapova's retired. So that's kind of active players Yeah, shiontech's really young as well All right, 40 love shiontech five points away jabur Yeah, I guess we haven't seen jabur play shiontech on clay Unfortunately, we didn't get to see that match That's still a match. We haven't got to see it lately. So maybe jabur 40 Double fault 4015 Pagula Yeah, we haven't seen Pagula. I mean Madrid. We'll we'll see you next week in Madrid, but we haven't seen Pagula Um We should we saw her in Charleston, right? We didn't see her Haven't seen her on the european clay yet this year Give him at the finals last year in Madrid Played while in Rome And shiontech serves a fault second serve Didn't shiontech win paris in 2018 no no 2020 Shiontech was the junior back in 2018 she's playing junior French open maybe she won the junior french open We're going to serve now the back end of Sabalenka back in ash fiontech the back of sabalenka again the back of shiontech on the stretch goes long and it's 40 30 sabalenka Is trying her best That's what we're all trying to do right trying to try best. Why why the hell is runa losing the second set? He's now four one in the second. What is What's going on? She won junior winwood in 2018. Yeah Yeah, she won junior winwood French open She didn't play the french open till 2019 I think right she lost to hella but I think I think Back at return now goes the fornish fiontech for now from Sabalenka is out and shiontech gets the five three in the second Okay, she's one game away She's one game From defending her title and look If she does finish this match off right now Sabalenka's played better than she did last year The first set was really she double faulted and that was the reason why she got broken even in this set The two breaks of serve have been because of a double fault and she's hit two double faults for the match So a bit on a bit unlucky for sabalenka you would say You know, she doesn't double fault. Maybe we get a tiebreak in the first set. Maybe the second set's closer, but Really, it's come down to the sabalenka serve and you can't really give away two break at two double faults against someone like Fiontech. So look the score might show six three six four But sabalenka has come a long way on a clay court against fiontech since last year Maybe if they play madrid something might happen. Who knows? I mean body beat sabalenka here in 21 and then in 21 madrid sabalenka got the Revenge as that goes in the net backhand from sabalenka 15 all 15 all How will this affect the power rankings? We'll go we'll go to the power rankings after this or after the match if it's this is the end 15 all you know all the sabalenka serves Into the back is fiontech. Good return. Sabalenka forehand down the line is great Fiontech with a slice. Sabalenka forehand cross court over hits it That's a shame because sabalenka played a good point to that last shot 15 30 It's all coming to an end now Fiontech has double fault of twice as well And sabalenka has more aces. Yeah, but it's not about double fault like double she double fault at 40 love fiontech So you double fault of 40 love. It doesn't hurt as much. We remember when sabalenka double faulted and that means they were bad double faults Timing of double faults is not so much. She's gonna hit 10 double faults at 40 love every time it wouldn't matter So they do have double faults both double faults, but that's doesn't really matter So we're passing shot there volley from sabalenka is good. She runs it gets it but sabalenka puts away the smash And it's 30 all I mean sabalenka double folded at deuce Got broke in the next point and then she double folded a break point at the start of this set So I can't I only remember fiontech double folding it 40 love okay 30 all sabalenka Is it gonna be a match point championship point? Are we gonna keep this match alive? Let's see what sabalenka's got. She serves A fault Second serve second serve Big point here second serve Into the bat fiontech fiontech sabalenka again to the fiontech on the stretch goes out sabalenka That's a little bit tough. She went to the forehand, which has been the big returns from fiontech, but Sabalenka was gutsy enough to keep going there and won the point 40 30 By rube 11 runa runa's down 5 1 in the second against van des Anchel. What the hell happened? Bloody hell runa I think runa is going to be the favorite from madrid. All that happens Ah 40 30, maybe not the favorite, but you know what I mean Serve as a fault from sabalenka second serve second serve sabalenka to make fiontech serve at the championship She serves in the back and the fiontech return goes out sabalenka survives from 15 30 down. She makes fiontech serve for the match Okay, let's go look at the power rankings before we update them from madrid So these will change tomorrow or the next day from madrid So this is what they look like as of now now If these are definitely going to change pardon me because we do have some big changes and some Pardon me. I've got hiccups and some injuries as well. You can see there sabalenka She's number two fiontech is number four on the power rankings I'm going to guess that fiontech is probably going to go up to number two Maybe sabalenka number one after a back and a losing to This week to her dad's Maya who's not on the list Jabir she'll probably go up a bit because she Did get a couple of good wins this week, especially one against The osteopenco win might help Um Benchage will be out for a while also. Kovitava. I'm not sure when she's coming back They're both injured at the moment. We haven't seen Kosteya Mukava Lately, so we'll see if they're coming back next week in madrid. Goff also lost this week. She'll probably Have a bit of a drop pot of pova. I'm expecting to go up into the top ten after a really good week this week So we might have again, even if sabalenka loses She might still take top spot because of the rabakana loss Um, and I reckon it's going to be sabalenka. Sviantech Kovitava rabakana And then pagula potentially top five in that order, but we'll find out power rank is updated for madrid next week But uh and going to madrid Sabalenka could be on top even if she loses this match because Power rankings are about who you uh who you beat and who you lose to not about Not always about what you win, but if you win it helps Any news on halop? Uh, no new news All right, here we go chat Sviantech I just want a simple yes or no. Is she winning this game? Is she winning the title now? Yes or no Yes or no, is this the game? Is this the last game of the match? Yes or no Sviantech serves a fault Yes, yes, yes, yes everyone says yes Yes, a few people say no. Okay matches not over. Okay Second serve. Let's see if sabalenka won the first point of this game is He serves now the back end of sabalenka. Good return the point of sviantech. Sabalenka with the back end slice Into the back end is sviantech who hits a winner Sviantech has a really good Underrated i'm having spoken about it kick serve to the back end of sabalenka Not allowing sabalenka to hit flat back end. She's hitting them up here because of the kick server sviantech very fun Something that we don't see much on the wta. You know second serve kick serves But sviantech's getting a good kick serve to the back end of sabalenka on the second serve, which is Not allowing sabalenka to be aggressive 15 love three points away from a posh Server to the for the sabalenka return goes to for sviantech for the sabalenka again to the for sviantech Sabalenka forehand again for the for sviantech slice sabalenka in control with the forehand again The for sviantech sabalenka forehand goes down the line and long 30 love And sabalenka's just not getting the free points that she was getting pretty much all week 30 love Also, van der Zanschel levels things up with runa in munich one set each That kind of came out of nowhere again. Don't forget to subscribe. We've got madrid covered next week Wta and atp all the way through Make sure you join us for that It's a huge event and we only seem to get the best matchups in the huge events for the wta this year As we'll return now from sabalenka that goes out three championship points for the world number one To win another posh but more importantly Keep sabalenka 2000 points behind in the points of the rankings Keep that number one spot a little less in danger We're definitely watching women's tenders next week. You know it Probably a lot more than the men because it's more interesting 40 love serving the back of sabalenka, but it's a little Let 40 love sviantech serving for the championship She just assert her dominance On the dirt The queen of clay She serves into the fort of sabalenka return goes in the fort of sviantech That's a good shot sabalenka with a stretch gets it sviantech backhand winner sabalenka doesn't move And sviantech wins her second title of the year The queen of clay is back She didn't lose any matches In the real clay court season She did lose the match on clay at the end of the year or the middle part of the year Or a bit of a sour shake, but I think sabalenka is disappointed It's a third loss in the final this tournament in a row And sviantech wins, but look I gotta be honest sabalenka That was a much better performance than we saw last year on the clay courts for sabalenka. So She is getting closer on clay, but sviantech's the best clay court planner on the on the uh on the planet Ggs you look disappointed that sviantech wins a point No No In fact, I'm actually happy that sviantech won because they're out of my fan slam So that's a that's a win um all right This cannot be a final match is the worst Man, if you thought this final was bad, you didn't watch the right final. You also want to replay. Okay, so Sviantech wins her second stucco title. She wins another clay court title Again, she's just the queen of clay She just doesn't lose on clay. She lost to garcile last year. But like I said Sabalenka is getting closer to sviantech on clay And the two double faults that she hit in that match were the reason she lost those two breaks Which lost the sets ultimately so it's crazy how you can really pinpoint literally two things And two shots that sabalenka hit Almost two hours played as well. So that was a close straight sets. I mean you don't play two hours of tennis In a six three six four unless it was close Sabalenka looked mess majorly disappointed standing with her team But look I think sabalenka's I think she could you know play madrid next week She might be the favorite from madrid if sviantech pulls out which I do think will happen I think sviantech will pull out of madrid Uh now that she's won this title And I think she needs to play madrid. She needs to play rome. Um, that's much more important All right Porsche should sign up sviantech. She deserves it. Yeah, like yeah, I mean, why wouldn't they sign up sviantech? It's crazy Which player is it good on the wta on all services? Uh sabalenka's up there I think sabalenka. I think we're backing her. I think sviantech Sviantech hasn't had a chance to prove herself on uh on grass yet because she's had one or two Wimbledon's and uh I think hasn't really been able to thrive On the main tour on grass. She hasn't you know junior Wimbledon, but uh kiviteva. Yeah kiviteva as well She pulls out of madrid because she gets beaten there. She's only played madrid once So she what she played there and lost a body. I mean, I don't think she gets beaten there. She got beaten there once To the world number one at the time. So yeah, I don't think look you don't flirt with form And I think sviantech I don't think she'll play madrid. I think she'll go to Rome defender title for a second. She's already two time defending champion trying to go for a three peter in Rome And then play the french. I don't think she'll play madrid. She said she wasn't Keen on madrid anyway She doesn't need to play madrid after this week Why play sabalenka on a fast court If you don't have to We'll blow up three love in the second set of that live itch match. That's good to see All right, we've got cindy basalka. It's coming up in about an hour. So we'll get to that soon But if you are leaving don't forget to subscribe So don't forget to uh Like the video as well. I'm gonna say a thousand likes. Come on sviantech matches should get a thousand likes I mean, she's the world number one for god's sake We'll get a thousand matches for players at a less rank a lower rank Horse battery is not the best Sabalenka's never getting that horse. Look, she's lost the world number one In the three finals she's played. So she's pretty unlucky sabalenka She's lost a body and sviantech Twice now So look She's unlucky sabalenka. She might win it next year Wins after 45 days of not playing uh off that's clay. Oh, yeah, she's the clay court queen best player on clay No doubt she's back Didn't drop only dropped one set this week. That was that Pliscava set which I mean pliscava almost came back to win it anyway Uh, sorry, uh, sabalas sviantech almost came back to win that first set anyway against um Against pliscava, but um Yeah, I mean, she's the best player on clay. No doubt yajda is right Sabalenka still has a better chance to defeat Top atp players than anyone else. I mean, yeah, if that ever happened one day, yeah It's a bit of top deputy players are kept from 250s. What happens to this event? This event's a 500. So nothing This event stays the same Drama in the trophy ceremony. No, they shouldn't be They should be fine All right, by the way, these two ladies got the same trophy. It's just got a different. That's lazy from posh That's lazy They the same trophy just a different name winner runner up the exact same. That's shit. That's stupid I guess you get the car. That's your trophy, but At least make that look the the winner trophy a little bigger Make one trophy bigger than the other The posh is the trophy. I know but I mean you get the same trophy You can't put a posh in a cabinet. She's winning a blue posh by the way Let's give her a there's a slightly larger trophy. Come on. Surely it's not that hard to just Get a bigger trophy for the winner. Just so when they're standing there taking a photo It's not I don't know Madrid is like a 250 on the men's side. It's a dasa. It's getting pretty it's getting pretty tough Still got Alcarez, Mevedev. It means like Monte Carlo, right? Monte Carlo Or miami No, we still got some good That's some big big boys playing Just not the big boys. You know Alcarez, City Pass, Mevedev Runa, Rublev, they're all still playing at this stage You know Mevedev comes back many in Madrid I want to see that. You know Fritz is playing FAA comes back. So yeah, we are missing Ruth's playing as well. Yeah, we're missing Sinner and Djokovic and Nadal but I mean that's something that's free. See how many players playing I know not yet. Actually it comes out in the next Next few hours, I think All right, here we go. The trophy ceremony I'm ready to go Um, is Shriyantse is rather kind of presenting the car. No No, no, no No um Sabalenka always focuses on hard surface on hard serve and no tactic against the best players Oh, yeah, I mean look Shriyantek Shriyantek's just too too good Yeah, the power doesn't work against her unless it's a faster surface I guess that was a joke. Wait KC, were you a serious? I mean, I don't think she is but I thought you were kidding Sabalenka has more weapons and power than Shriyantek But it's the killer instinct the one who heard the trophy Yeah The Serbian crowd is doing a good job to motivate Livevich. I'm sure I'm not sure he'll win though Well, uh, Rublyv is up 3-1 in the second Runaan, Vandezansh will be going to a third So it's all happening. No worries, Jane. Thank you for joining us appreciate it I really miss once. Yeah, that was we got robbed of a match yesterday, but that's all right I heard it somewhere. I just wanted to believe it. Rottakato ain't giving the Porsche away There's no way that's just a joke that That's not real That's not real Why don't I go to the Rublyv match because that's already started and we're gonna watch the men's final in Barcelona in like 45 minutes. So All right, Sabalenka getting the runner-up trophy again The bride's made in Stuttgart Never the bride that Porsche you're just gonna have to buy her own Any word once yet? No, no, no word. She just said that she's sad that she's hurt. She's gonna get scans So we'll wait and see Um, is Rublyv going to be the king of comebacks From a set down on clay this year. Well, we'll find out All right, Sabalenka with a speech She holds up a bunch of flowers As she stands here for the third time in a row Without the keys to this bloody car All right, what's she got to say she'll probably say something about I don't get to win this car Oh, she's Very humbled by the crowd support They are giving her a standing ovation. I think it's dark. I can't tell Or are they all sitting down? I can't tell. All right. I can't understand She says really well to your team this week. Enjoy the car Oh, Sabalenka, we love that Love that She's like cannot if I guess she's like if we make a deal if I make another final Can I just get a car if I make four tournament four finals? Can I just get a car? Is that is that okay? That's good Sabalenka's good good value Why don't they give a runner runner give the runner up the other Porsche? Um I mean not everyone can win. All right. There's only one winner You get a bunch of flowers to come second. She's like so I don't get the car. No Sabalenka is like I'm gonna keep trying to get this car She's like she's like in the next 20 years. I will get this car She wants that car so bad It's gonna be a running thing every time we watch her play this event It's like is she gonna win the car that's all she doesn't give a shit about anything else just to get that freaking car Oh Sabalenka Sabalenka is like the mevadev of acceptance speeches. Let's be real. She's she has got some Quotable meme of emotion moments And she said thank you the crowd. Now look humble funny Good speech good speech We need prime halop to debate shriyantek on clay. Well, we got good halop on clay and she lost to shriyantek pretty badly I hope someday Sabalenka will learn to be gracious how to be gracious in the feet. What are you caught talking about? She made a joke about not winning the car hasn't got gracious Why you gotta hate Why just don't be a hater, mate. All right, just chill dude She's such a good laugh. Yeah, Sabalenka is awesome. Good value. She is gracious exactly When she was younger, I think she made she said something like, you know, maybe some I think when she lost the final like five years ago. She said something that she was like 20 So she didn't know what she was saying She might she said something like, you know, there was a little bit off Was a little bit off but She's she's gracious. I don't know what you're talking about I saw my checks Sabalenka were back on one slams. Yeah, they've won slams So shriyantek though Porsche wins she wins the car again lifts the trophy She gets a bunch of flowers as well. So Sabalenka gets nothing else just a bunch of flowers and a trophy that looks like a doorstop And shriyantek's like hi I don't know what to say I'm so excited you can see after match point Can't get my thoughts together Congrats arena for everything For the start of the mating season and all the work you've been putting in Uh, runer in big trouble. Yeah, he's down a break in the third. I just noticed Down two love in third Such a high intensity. This was by the way, this was again six three six four This match was it looks one-sided. Ah shriyantek won if you wait if you didn't watch this match You would think oh, yeah, okay shriyantek won it was pretty simple This was not simple. It was super intense those first six games The double fault at deuce in the first set Was the break and then the break at the start of the second from a double fault was the only break in the second that uh Shriyantek needed so like I said this match was Really determined by those two double faults sabalinger hit She doesn't need those two double faults You know, maybe we get a couple tie breaks. It was it was actually pretty close And shriyantek was just playing like she was she only faced one break point. She wasn't given any break back So really if sabalinger doesn't get broken Shriyantek didn't look like getting broken either or she didn't get broken, but the very close match up Scores a little bit misleading It looks a little too easy. It wasn't as easy as the score Shriyantek Loves playing here. She says the crowd is amazing Yeah, my very unlike the wta, but the wta in 2023 is like that This is the new wta. This is the wta that we all we were all hoping for All right, she says thanks to her dad for being here Very not very many times we can get to see each other this year. So great to have him here Looking forward to more matches between these two. Yeah peaches I mean look I said earlier we've been through we've gotten so many matches that we've asked for this year, right What is the next match that you want to watch chat? What's the one that you want to watch next that we haven't seen this year on the wta? Who haven't you seen in 2023? Play against each other that you want to see this year I want to see sabalinger pagula Because I don't think we've seen that right I want to see sabalinger pagula because You know pagula has played rebeccana. She's played shviyantek You know a couple of close matches against rebeccana A good win against shviyantek at the start of the year. I want to see sabalinger pagula Have they played this year? I don't think they have right They played at the wta finals last year They played in rome last year sabalinger won both They also played in madrid In doubles they played in charleston doubles. They played. Yeah, they haven't played for a while, but I want to see that I want to see sabalinger versus pagula on clay because I think that gives pagula a little bit of an extra chance being on a slower surface but um Let me know in the chat. What matchups do you want to see on the wta this year that we haven't seen yet? There are a couple still that we haven't seen aunts versus Bianca, okay Well, I want to see shviyantek versus aunts right proper like a proper that wasn't that didn't count We were robbed yesterday that didn't count that didn't count in my book three. That wasn't a match. That was a one. That was a that was a That was a unfortunate incident That was a tragedy Pagula versus goff. Oh, that'd be fun Jabba sakkari. Oh, that's a good one too Shviyantek Garcia. Oh, okay All right Let's talk about the loser too much. I haven't mentioned your name once mate. Do you need some ice for that burn? Oh, you're all right. You're all right Just kidding Um, a bit of a sabalenka. Okay on grass. Oh, that'd be fun. Sabalenka at Wimbledon. I want to see that right Garcia has come up a lot this year. Yeah, she hasn't We haven't seen her play though as well as she was at the end of last year. That's the problem Jabba versus on dress. You okay Sabalenka sakkari. Oh, that could be fun That could be fun That joke was so hot your chair melted Oh, no, look It's just banter. Hopefully that person didn't take it too serious. It's all right. Don't worry about it. We're just kidding Where's joxin Just making jokes Uh, sabalenka shviyantek at Wimbledon. Oh Won't be wouldn't be to the final but I mean all the semis, but I don't know if shviyantek at Wimbledon is going to get that far Sabalenka we're back in her at Wimbledon. I would love to see that We're back in a versus shviyantek. Well, we've seen that a couple times already Yeah, we've got Carlos versus uh, since he passed coming up next comes up in about 30 minutes Osta panko shviyantek any surface we haven't seen that. That's true. Osta panko shviyantek I think that's something we want to we want to see a rematch of that, right? I mean, Kragikova shviyantek on clay would be fun. We haven't seen them play on clay this year yet Well, we won't we haven't we might we might not There might be rome and french open if they don't play there. We won't see it Honestly, Carlos city pass on grass. Okay Shviyantek don't want no more matches with reback in her. I do want to see reback in a shviyantek on clay I think that's I mean that would be interesting. I think it's advantage shviyantek in that department. But yeah We'll go with the shviyantek. Okay Bender's anchovies got a break in the 30 does and live it's just broke back against rubler So that's happening All right chat. We're gonna sign up in a bit. I'm gonna send you over to the next match though because um We have a big final for the men Coming up next Rowdy so ego wins a Porsche and Sabalenka wins a rickshaw There you go, thank you Rowdy appreciate that um, all right, there you go Jump over there talk amongst yourselves And we'll be back in about 30 or so minutes Probably more like about 30 minutes or so to watch the next final the second Big final of the day. There's a couple of big finals going on right now But the big final between the top five clash between number two versus number five elkis takes on city pass city pass I've never been in elkiras For some reason when they play each other there's just a little bit of spice Mainly from city pass. I don't think he appreciates the fact that elkires Didn't wait his turn to get slammed. He's like, hey, man We've been waiting here for five years. You got to wait your turn and elk is like get out my way It's my slam. I think maybe city pass a little bit pissed off at that. He doesn't like it doesn't appreciate that Let's see if he can take a title in elkris's backyard But jump over there talk amongst yourselves. I'll be over there as well lurking But um, man, he just reontech the queen of clay. She lost one match on clay last year And she starts off with her first title on clay for the year In stuka back to back now. She wins her second pour. She's gonna have to get a bigger house a bigger garage 6364 she takes that sabalenka again in the final and she is now Well and truly the queen of clay. I don't think I mean look she probably won't play madrid But if she can defend rome for a third time in a row, I don't think we can say anyone else is close to her on clay Um, sabalenka's gone to madrid. We know that she'll be there. She won the title before She'll probably be a favorite in madrid, but I guess we're gonna take two good next match city pass al-karaz Coming up soon
