 All right welcome back everybody and man what a first match what a great first match. Rubelev taking the win over Zverev for the first time ever and now we're gonna find out who Rubelev plays in the final tomorrow because defending champions through but he's gonna be playing against a guy who won this tournament before in Djokovic or a guy that he struggled against in the past in Medvedev he's gonna be hoping this match goes to three and a half hours Rubelev because he wants to play a tired opponent tomorrow it's gonna be tough it's gonna be really tough how are we doing channel we good we fight we should be fired up I mean that that first match has got to get you excited for this one now if you haven't watched the preview we're gonna go through it straight away because these guys have played a lot before and they've actually played a couple of really epic matches recently. Novak Djokovic versus Daniel Medvedev is a second semifinal for the Dubai Championships for 2023 and both players have been very impressive to get to the semifinals Medvedev entered the tournament as the number three seed and will take on the lucky loser Anoudi in the first round this was no problem for Mehdi getting through in straight sets 6-4 6-2 in the second round he take on the unpredictable Bublik we'd had some battles with in the past but again Medvedev was too strong getting through in straight sets 6-4 6-2 in the quarterfinals he take on Chorich the number 8 seed who he had a losing record against head-to-head but you wouldn't know it because Medvedev destroyed Chorich 6-3 6-2 to continue his streak and make it to the semifinals Djokovic started the tournament off as the number one seed and will take on the qualifier Mahatch in the first round and Djokovic would have to fight to get out of the first round after Mahatch put on a very aggressive performance pushing Djokovic to the edge but Noley won in a tiebreaker in the third 6-3 3-6 7-6 in the second round he take on the informed Grigspor who had been very impressive so far in 2023 but this was no problem for Noley getting through in straight sets 6-2 6-3 in the quarterfinals he take on the number 5 seed her catch who had just come off winning a title in Marseille a week earlier but Djokovic was clinical getting a break in each set to win 6-3 7-5 to advance to the semifinals these guys are played 13 times before with Djokovic leading the head-to-head 9-4 and having won their four previous meetings they also met an Adelaide at the start of the year with Djokovic getting a nice straight sets win even with a sore leg if Medvedev is gonna win this one he needs to be aggressive usually he stands way back behind the baseline but you can't do that against Djokovic because that's how Djokovic plays the way he won at the US Open a few years ago was being aggressive serving big he needs to do both of those things if he's a chance if Djokovic is gonna win this one he needs to bring in the variety because we know Medvedev doesn't like it when players come to the net and mix it up so Djokovic is gonna have to do that because Medvedev is in form and this Medvedev is much much better than the Medvedev that he played in Adelaide at the start of the year this is gonna be such a fun matchup these guys never disappoint when they face off against each other especially right now because they're both on such long winning streaks but I'm gonna go with Djokovic in three sets I reckon there's gonna be an absolute epic I think it's gonna go down the wire but I reckon it's gonna be Djokovic getting the win against Medvedev in a close three setter let me know down the comments below who do you think's gonna make the final all right thank you Cam from this morning all right so you can see there the winner of this match will play Rubelev he got through the epic match or the epic second set against Barrow that was fun hyped up for this one as you could see they played both guys about tricky roads I mean Djokovic had a very strict first round sorry not tricky roads I have pretty straight forward roads besides the first round of Djokovic he's been pretty straightforward and then of course Medvedev has been solid all week let's talk about Daniel Medvedev number seven in the world 27 year old from Russia he is six foot six right handed 14 wins 12 losses sorry 14 wins two losses on the year having a hell of a season after the Australian Open I would guess the disappointment of the Australian Open losing all those points dropping out of the top ten and it really did reset his mindset because he had so many points to defend lost all those points from the final of 2021 or 2022 and now he's you know rocketing back up the rankings after losing all those points so looking good two titles in a row 17 career titles including a grand slam you can see there he has three badges he's got the one number one badge he's one masters 1000s and he's won the US and he's on a win streak at the moment but so is this man Novak Djokovic who's got more badges number one in the world 35 year old from Serbia he is six foot two right handed 12 wins and zero losses on the year he is on an absolute tear a win streak this year of 15 but remember last year he also won the ATV finals without dropping a match so he's actually on a 20 match win streak he'll be counting last year as well two titles as well this year but instead of just one not just not just any titles he won the Australian Open and you can see there 93 career titles and it's all green but no way and there's that head to head that we're talking about now it did beat Medvedev in Adelaide and that was when Medvedev actually sorry Djokovic got hurt I mean Djokovic was hurt in that match that's where the hamstring came about won that match went on to play the final beat quarter of course saving championship points and then the rest is history but yeah I mean that match was when he hurt himself so Medvedev pushes people physically to their brink and but we're all hoping we get a match like we did last year at the ATV finals that's 7-6 in the third that's the match that we won we don't want a straight sets boring we want to get we we want to get what we expect from these guys epicness but are we gonna get it because not always like the last couple of weeks we've had epic match ups not always epic matches let's see if we can get the epic match to match the match up okay um all right let's ask questions how we doing chat I accidentally fell asleep thank god I woke up this well good timing good timing holly uh so excited for this one yeah this is gonna be fun this is the match that everyone's been waiting for rocking in the USA nice what time is it there cam uh in Dubai I think it's like 9 p 9 30 p.m I think in Australia it's 2 30 in the morning uh it will be epic they both are on a roll and in their prime I don't know about the second part but I definitely agree with the first part they're both on a roll never it must be tired though yeah never has played three weeks in a row I think we've got to remember that um but he hasn't played that much this week um Djokovic two and a half hours first round one hour 20 one hour 20 in the second two rounds so what's that quick maths around five and a half hours right um so five and a half hours finale on court this week Medvedev this week's played 130 one hour 120 so he's played nearly four hours so he's played an hour less but uh he has played literally three or three weeks straight so since losing the third round to quarter this round open he played Rotterdam Doha and Dubai back to back to back no breaks and he's also played um so what's that like 15 what 12 how many matches in a row 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13 matches in a row is that correct 13 so uh let's see let's see if it is going to catch up with um with Medvedev uh Medvedev's only played though in those last the longest matches played in the streak has been two and a half hours against Sinner in the final of Rotterdam so he has kind of you know got the job done an hour an hour and a half two hours but yeah he's only played one long match and that was that Sinner final in Rotterdam and that first set was really long but Medvedev likes to do that he likes to drag out the first set get his opponents tired and then you know get them in the second and third if they do end up winning the first that's not going to work today but it's something that he does do and Djokovic hasn't played a long match well he played a two and a half hour match in the first round so i mean i don't know i don't know do you reckon it's going to be tiredness from Medvedev is that going to be a factor i guess if we go to a third set we'll know three hour marathon this one that's what Rubelev wants the over okay you want to you're going with the overs today all right um i got 300 on nole costrug and Baez all right Vince good luck with that Daniel Dragvedev i don't think that's someone else that's a different meaning i think both are in great shape yeah physically they're both good like Djokovic is fine may he said it wasn't 100 but he's moving as well as he was uh pre pre-injury and Medvedev looks looks great too he looks fine i'm so hyped for this match can't decide who's going to win i love them both ah yeah i'll show a lot of people that same uh same thing all i know is that this match is going to be long no matter what happens it's going to be long now when they played back in Adelaide um back in uh in january that match went for an hour and 30 minutes and that's actually but it was a straightforward match it was six three six four in an hour and a half and that's actually pretty pretty average right that's a normal well actually no Djokovic played Shapo the day before but two hours for the same score line so um yeah it was it was relatively uh you know straightforward but the match was long also the injury of Djokovic probably made it interesting too who wins today and how many sets i got Djokovic in three there's these stretches out the legs no way game's gonna start three minutes they're just gonna warm up they're on court and we're almost ready no back is the go to tennis yep uh this game will be more mental than anything yeah it will um definitely a psychological factor for sure who was the mental goat here no way yeah that's true i wouldn't say mevadev though is like a you know it's not hasn't got a strong mentality you know i don't think i think i don't think we should discount mevadev's mind mevadev played weird that match yeah mevadev did play weird and then he got like annoyed because Djokovic was injured and he pretend it was yeah it was weird anyways Djokovic got to serve first as they warm up um yeah it was meddy was in a weird mood that night he kind of looked like he wasn't happy with Djokovic's injury you know uh distraction i guess and yeah meddy didn't look uh didn't seem like he was really focused that well but this meddy is a different meddy this meddy is this meddy is 2021 mevadev again we got him back took him 12 months but this is 2021 mevadev this feels feels different so i don't expect i don't expect the same result or at least i don't respect i don't expect um the first uh the same as the first different mevadev does meddy have the best serve on the tour to challenge knowledge return um i mean look no i mean Kirios probably has a bigger better serve to challenge knowledge return mevadev's got a great serve but the thing is like i said in the preview if mevadev's gonna beat jokovic he's got to play like he did at the u.s open back in 21 because that day he served big first serves but big second serves two mevadev played risky and that's where he got the win maybe jokovic was a little nervous you can make that argument that he was going for history and blah blah blah but when jokovic mevadev played back at the u.s open in 21 meddy played it as aggressive as i've seen him play usually he's the guy grinding the baseline so let's see if he goes back to that because that's something he's gonna have to do uh is that the last time he actually beat jokovic i think he was right i'm pretty sure it was the the last time that they they won and they played and and the last time that meddy won also mevadev did nearly win an astrava we keep forgetting that because mevadev got injured but uh yeah that was the last time meddy won so he's got to play like that um but yeah so but he did nearly win an astana not astrava astana uh because in astana he had match point and then jokovic won the second set tie break and then mevadev's like i hurt myself um so yeah so he's gotta he's gotta be aggressive us open meddy serve was crazy yeah it was huge serving uh come on nole revenge that u.s open loss he's revenged it like four times come on now he's revenged the last like four times in a row now come on i think it's well and truly avenged that loss if five setters continued in the master's finals who would have the most masters now jokovic jokovic would have it nole in two all right make it five then i wish uh was hard to see sasha lose yeah hey look it's been a good week though for his rare if you're a rare fan i would look back at the week in fondly because he lost to a top 10 guy and he had a good week he got to the semifinals it's all about comebacks you know slowly getting there step by step probably should have made the third set but he just left it too late to be aggressive one more and the revenge is complete ah your jokovic fans not happy with he's like we're gonna beat him five times in a row we're gonna really just really just prove that hey that first that win at the u.s open that never happened again savages uh it's very of his on the path definitely but that second serve yeah he struggled he did struggle at times today on serve and he did struggle because he was playing it felt it did feel like he was playing defensive like he was playing a little a little nervous a little bit soft until the final part of the match but i was yeah too late incredible rublev for keeping his cool which is something he never does and he finally did it all right we're just waiting for the serves to get warmed up and then we're getting ready we're ready to go jokovic to serve first in this one is gonna be fun we're all expecting this to be epic let's hope it lives up to the hype mevvedev's due for a win six time lucky for meddy will city pass ever be able to beat no later grand slam no idea no events needed mentally and physically spent is jokovic okay mevvedev served for match in adb finals two yeah that's true he was close i mean that's what we want right we want that match we want to replay the adb finals match yeah wasn't mevvedev at five three served for the match got broken then tiebreak lost or was it five four i can't remember i know he did that twice right he lost it twice all right chat it's happening oh my god okay it's happening everybody say car what's the procedure everyone what's the procedure the crowd are going nuts this is the biggest crowd i've seen all week the loudest crowd i've seen all week two the match we've all been waiting for jokovic mevvedev as no lay serves this has the vibes chat this feels this feels like the match it's only an atv 500 by the way but it has a vibe of a of a bigger match for a bigger tournament first serves a fault from jokovic second serve second serve jokovic out wide to the fauna mevvedev fauna from jokovic into the backhand of mevvedev jokovic to the forehand again to the fauna meddy into the fauna jokovic mevvedev making no lay run has been a backhand a backhand rally back and up from mevvedev again to the backhand of jokovic into the fauna mevvedev on the stretch slice goes in fauna from jokovic drop shot is too good unbelievable no lay starting with the drop shot that's interesting 15 love that is interesting that's a very interesting start all right no lay with the first point of the match 15 love jokovic serves again he serves out wide that's a great serve mevvedev gets it back but he hits it long 30 love good serve from no lay by the way let me know in the chat who do you think's going to win what's the score going to be i've got jokovic in three but you tell me what do you reckon go around in the house he knows a little bit about big servers at least he knows how to be a big server serve out wide is an ace from no lay bang two ace in a row all right 40 love well two one ace but two big serves in a row 40 love jokovic is camp and making jokes and having a laugh i mean that's they're pointing at each other and just making fun they're just chill they already know what the result is they're back from the future as we got to return there in a third volley from no lay oh no chat mevvedev's in trouble if that's what's going to happen mevvedev is in a lot of trouble if that's going to happen because that's the weakness and remember when mevvedev was exposed for like what exposed for not being able to really play against those types of players you know curious city pass we told them we told you about it jokovic can also serve and he can hit volleys if jokovic starts playing like that gg's it's over mevvedev won't win a set if that happens he hit a drop shot and he's already hit a very nice volley and a couple of big serves if that's how no one's gonna play this match will probably be over in straights all right but mevvedev's got to serve let's see what he's got needs to serve well he serves down the tee that's a fault it's the game plan that we said yesterday that chari should have played but he didn't do it as jokovic hits a return that goes wide he smacked that return like you better not serve it short smack he hit it out though all right 15 love as mevvedev serves down the tee big serve comes back though back in a mevvedev jokovic to the slice he's moving so well for now from mevvedev in the net 15 all great return from nollie and he's moving really well he's doing the he's doing the splits whereas you know when at this round open he wasn't doing the splits like he wasn't sliding and splitting and you know stretching now he is you know he's fine now he's gonna return out from jokovic that goes out of the return there's the serve 30 15 he's overcompensating for the no splits in Australia yeah he's got to make up for last time 35th mevvedev serves down the tee great serve again jokovic gets it mevvedev forehand drop shot jokovic gets it with a lob mevvedev what are you doing but he hits it out nollie hits it out 40 15 mevvedev drop shot was terrible jokovic didn't do enough with it but 45th by the way nollie's telling the umpire why is everyone running at walking around it's been the case this week people are just doing whatever they want serving to the back end of jokovic return goes in the net all right nice from mevvedev gets on the board one one couple of good serves one all all right let's see what he's got now very impressive start from nollie in that first game he mixing up the style how's mevvedev gonna get in the rallies that's the question i think he's got to be a more aggressive by the way i don't know where mevvedev's coach is this week did he just take the week off because he's like i was here for two weeks in a row like let me leave mevvedev's wife is now the coach shout out to dasher uh one one serve now from nollie down the tee the back end of mevvedev and a smash from jokovic mevvedev gets it jokovic at the net again with the volley he does it again he does it again we're gonna go to the whiteboard after this because i've got to show you what jokovic is doing and you might not have been here when we discussed it 15 love yesterday we discussed it jokovic is playing a style of tennis that is not his norm but he's playing smart like this is so this is big brain can i get some big brains in the chat for jokovic man jokovic is playing so smart he serves that wide an ace and he was gonna volley again jokovic just turned into a servolia 30 love wow this is i mean look get ready for i mean i don't know what the hell it's kind of an old video tactic it is but jokovic it's not it's not natural for jokovic right he's doing things that are unnatural and he's not he didn't go to the net that time he made mevvedev think about it though so jokovic is already mixing up he's coming to the net mevvedev's like how do i hit the return do i hit it hard do i hit it soft are you at the net are you at the baseline what are you doing 40 love but this is in very interesting with jokovic so straight away we'll get to the whiteboard in a second 40 love serve at wide is an ace man no way is on fire on that serve all right let's get around to the uh let's get the world let's go to the classroom um all right so what jokovic is doing and this is the tactic that mevvedev struggled against with city pass and uh and with kereos right mevvedev stands back here right all the way back here jokovic when he gets to the net he stands about here and you can just hit the ball over anywhere you want over here over here and mevvedev can't run to the shot if you stand that far back you're gonna be and also drop shots work as well if you hit the ball anywhere here so that's what jokovic is doing so well and he's serving volling so he's serving out wide coming to the net and just volling in the open court mevvedev's too far back to recover and that's what he's doing and that's what but and why it's so impressive is that it's not his natural game jokovic would rather stand and be a you know be a baseline grinder but he's going out of his way to do something totally different and it's looking at like he's he's executing it perfect goron would be proud boris becker would be proud with some of those volleys okay the clock behind me is broken hey look a broken clock is right two times a day all right maybe not today but maybe tomorrow all right that's the theory of run speed and height but what oh sharon that we haven't got that we have i'll get that out next time for the classroom right all right two one can give no lee an all-rounder badge we might have to i mean after today jokovic's playing like an all-rounder for sure all right mevvedev to serve again metis serve is a key to uh to his success and he serves an ace bang all right that's it that's what he needs to do metis serve big or go home 15 love 10 minutes into this one is it a serve now mevvedev a fault well that was close jokovic just saying it was in jokovic gives a point to metis jokovic just saying it was in that's the class of the man he's playing one of his most fierce competitors and he gives a point up it was called fault jokovic like it was in it was in 30 love and it was in jokovic is like don't waste time let's move on 30 love mevvedev serves a fault this time second serve i mean that's called confidence right serving to the back end of jokovic back end of mevvedev again to the slice of no lee mevvedev with the forehand into the forehand jokovic but metis hits it long 30 15 35th mevvedev serves again mevvedev rubler final i don't know i mean jokovic i don't know but like jokovic is a behind the back shot winner or behind the back shot sorry uh return for fun who will win a barrain uh max Verstappen 30 15 serve out wide is good goes in from jokovic mevvedev with a swinging volley from the baseline risky but he made it work 40 15 mevvedev serving strong so mevvedev's the big challenge for him is to try and keep that number at 75 or above that drop below 70 or even to 60 that means jokovic is going to start winning these second serve points which will mean mevvedev loses as we return now the final mevvedev goes the back end of jokovic mevvedev can't get that one no lay down the line bang this is going to it already is 40 30 lovely back end down the line from no lay that was perfect all right 40 30 and an ace down the team mevvedev three aces three oh we're getting a challenge here though hang on now we're getting a challenge jokovic is like i don't know about that i think it hit the side it looked like it was more out than in but oh that's just hit the line you cannot be serious and the lines person smiles so yeah of course it was in it was you know this is my profession by the way we're almost at 126k i just realized that thank you for everybody joining don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already please and thank you 2-2 this is actually a pretty quick match by the way 12 minutes and we played four games when does that happen never happens not in this match it's supposed to be one game after 10 minutes serving to the point of many many hits and wide against serve volley serve volley from jokovic 15 love and mevvedev's return there that was a return of a frustrated return up he tried to smack the crap out of that and hit it out that was just kind of like he almost hit it towards jokovic telling him but don't come into the net move back stay away ace down the tee bang jokovic serving very solid two 30 love the serving quality so far in this match is very high 30 love as he serves a fault oh that was close mevvedev is standing near the lines people it's he is back he's basically where this person is and he further back and he'll be running into everybody 30 love second serve into the form of mevvedev from jokovic into the back of mevvedev the back end of no way as he goes down the line and hits it out jokovic all right a little over aggressive 30 15 that's the first point he's lost on serve no way in this first part of the match 30 love 30 15 jokovic serves again a fault and he was going to serve volley again just serving and volleying on every first serve which is incredible like it's just a bit it's crazy but i love it second serve into the back end of mevvedev form jokovic down the line to the form of mevvedev on the stretch jokovic forehand goes out all right meddy's got a chance here 30 all a couple of miss first serves from jokovic you've given me a chance all right 30 all served bodovic he's been serving well but the last couple of points he's lost missed the first serve he needs this one as he serves down the t the back end of mevvedev half volley from jokovic in the net he did it one too many times he served down the t went to the net and mevvedev hit a great return at the feet of jokovic and now we're going to break point the tougher the best return mevvedev's hit and that went straight and jokovic just couldn't couldn't couldn't half volley it that was a tough shot mevvedev got the break point here 30 40 as mevvedev served sorry mevvedev returns or second serve now another miss first serve from no way second serve someone someone shout out during the point during the service action the hell the person should be kicked out of the stadium 30 40 second serve is in to the back end of mevvedev from jokovic into the front of mevvedev again to the front of jokovic mevvedev with the back end cross court into the back end of jokovic drops off from no way meant he's going to get there with a poor forehand pass is it in no it's out jokovic says it's out mevvedev wants a challenge just do it challenge why the hell not do it for the crowd do it for the lulls nope okay lines person looks happy she's like who don't challenge me i said it was out you shut up all right doce and that ball was wide good challenge a good uh good decision from mevvedev not to challenge all right doce jokovic survives the first break point of the day and all they taking the time serve is an ace bang huge ace down the tee mevvedev said challenge did he that looked like it hit the line it might have gone long but it definitely was in line that was inside the line bad challenge for me all right advantage no way to take back the lead serve is the fault second serve second serve down the tee the front of mevvedev forma from jokovic again to the front of mevvedev into the front of jokovic mevvedev with the forehand came to the front an 이거를 down the line of the back end of mevvedev forehand and back of the back end is going to find again from mevvedev into the back in Coyone medivision evedev with the back hand goes again to the back end jokovic this is the longest rally we've had all day is we're back in the back end exchange medi goes again to the back end М מ 다음에 into the back end of mevvedev Jokavic back hand again into To the back of Medvedev, as Djokovic hits the forehand now, cross court, that's good, Medvedev on the stretch. Djokovic, being aggressive, he hits the ball out though, over aggressive, back to Deuce. He tried to go aggressive, no lane, he over hit that forehand. Now we get to Deuce, 20 minutes played, longest game so far. This game's gone for about seven minutes. All right, Medvedev breathing a little heavy. Let's see what Djokovic could do. Medvedev hair is all over the place. Did he get electrocuted? Serve out wide the forehand of Medvedev, backing out from Djokovic, that's good. He doesn't come to the net though, no lane. He should've gone in there, drop shot. Medvedev's gonna get there with the backhand, no lane, digs it out. Medvedev with a smash, puts it away. Unbelievable. Djokovic hesitated. He thought about coming to the net and he kinda got caught. And then he went backwards, lost the point. He kinda had this little bit of a hesitant and that's why he hit the drop shot because he's like, well, I better do something. All right, Medvedev with a second break point. Had a little shake of the racket from Medi. Advantage Medvedev, Djokovic serves. A fault and he was going to serve in volley. Djokovic just served volley in pretty much every first serve. Or at least he's looking to serve volley on the majority of first serves. Second serve, Medvedev with a break point. Second serve is into the backhand of Medvedev. Foynard from Djokovic to the backhand of Medvedev. Djokovic's forehand into the forehand of Medvedev. To the backhand of Djokovic, sliced. Medi with the backhand, goes again to the backhand of Nolay. Into the backhand of Medi. As Djokovic hits the backhand, slice. Into the backhand of Medvedev, slice again, Djokovic. To the backhand of Medvedev. Into the backhand slice of Djokovic. Medvedev with the forehand now. Cross court, into the forehand of Djokovic to the backhand of Medvedev. Djokovic slicing it again in the net. Why is he slicing? Why is he slicing, Djokovic? Medvedev breaks three, two. Jokeridge's second serve, that was a problem. He missed so many first serves in that game, that's why he lost it. But man, that's, why is he still in the slice? There's too many. Medvedev's not gonna be phased by sliced backhands. He knows how to hit those. Or knows how to hit the back. Answer my question, the question, jerk! All right, 20 minutes in. We got the first break of the day. All right, how are we doing, Chad? How are we feeling? Medi in God mode? Yeah. Medi is the new hard court goat. Okay, Jokovic is rattled. I don't know, I think Jokovic, sometimes when you slice some backhands, you forget how to hit topspin. So maybe he just got into a little bit of a, a little bit of a bad habit. You know, slicing and slicing and slicing. And then he was like, well, I'm not gonna topspin now. So he kept slicing and that was just one too many. He's trying to do something different and got into a slice of, slice of butter. Yeah. Not eating too much ice cream. What? Medvedev will take over in a few years. All right. Medvedev is qualified to defeat the Joker. Well, yeah. He's done it before. Having chicken soup on toast. That sounds delicious, Dan. That sounds delicious. Oh, probably. Jokovic's a servant bombs incredible just how good his serve is. Well, first serves amazing. Second serve, bad. Or at least not as, not very good. I mean, both of these guys are not hitting good second serves. They're getting attacked on the second, but look how many aces we've had already. Five to three. That's kind of crazy. Now, can Medvedev continue to hold serve? His serve has been the more effective so far. He serves an ace. Bang. And that's why that is why 15 love. 15 love. That's right, Dan. I'm starving too. Problem is, it's three in the morning. I don't know what I could eat. I've got no food. I have no food in the fridge. I have nothing to eat. Maybe, oh, I got an avocado. Or maybe I'll eat that. All right, Medvedev serves second serve in the back of the Joker. He's back in the net from Nolle. That's a big second serve. Somebody just said US open mode. Jody. Yeah. That might be the case. US open mode might be the case. I mean, he's playing similar to that. As Djokovic gets a return backhand into the front of Medvedev, Djokovic's on the stretch with the forehand. Medvedev getting aggressive. Forehand now. He's looking confident. Has been a backhand now from Medvedev. Drop shot. Get the hell out of here. As Djokovic can't get it. What are you doing, Medvedev? Unbelievable. Medvedev is in dead fish mode. Only legends will understand. 40 love. Only legends will understand. 40 love. Medvedev great serve. Djokovic goes get that out of here. And he slaps it back like it was nothing. 40-15. 45th. Now, Juice, this is a ripper match for sure, mate. Worth staying up all night. L-2 plus left. That's it. Medvedev with a big serve. Djokovic hits it out. Medvedev 4-2 in the first. I'll tell you what, Medvedev's coach must go, he has to go on vacation more often. No coach, no problem. 4-2 for Medi. Let's see what's up. Djokovic, can he, I mean, look, Djokovic is still playing a good tactic. He just needs more first serves. As he serves down the tee, the back end of Medvedev. Oh, Djokovic smashed on the net. That's the weakness of that game plan. Because he smashed, his smash is a problem. He doesn't have the best smash, we know that. He hit that straight into the ground. Oh, he shanked it off the top of the frame. So Medvedev, the way to combat serve volley tennis with Djokovic is hit a lob. And you might get lucky like that. Another good serve and another good volley. Oh, but Djokovic hits it out. No lay hit it too quick, it's too fine. Love 30. The serve volley tennis is not working in this game. That missed smash might have shook Djokovic a little bit. Love 30. Avocados good, avocados are goaded. All right, first serves in the net, second serve. Second serve, Djokovic. Out wide to the 4-2 Medvedev. Return goes long from Medi, that's a miss. That's a bad miss. 15-30, let's see what's up. Avocados taste like hand cream. Vlado, I don't know what hand cream you're eating, but you might be in the Guacolat Moli aisle, mate. You probably know it. I think Guacolat Moli's in aisle three, you probably need to go to aisle five. As we're to find now into the backhand of Medi, backing out from Djokovic down the line, Medi with a four on the stretch, that's good. Djokovic gets it and puts away the winner. Smacks that win across court, 30-all. If hand cream tastes like avocado, I'm gonna start buying that instead. It's probably cheaper. Sounds delicious. 30-all, big point coming up here for Nolay. As we're to serve to the backhand of Medvedev, backing out from Djokovic, cross court to the backhand of Medi. Nolay decides to stay back this time. 4-1 to 4-hand, he's gonna out-rally Medvedev here. As he hits it out though, he's trying to out-rally Medvedev here, but he doesn't, 30-40. Man, Djokovic dropped his level big time. Avocado is a source of excellent quality, unoxidized fatty acids. Thank you, Kiran, for that. In other words, they're good for you. And they're very nice with eggs. Okay, 30-40, serve out wide at the backhand, volley now from Djokovic, and then the net! What the hell is happening? Djokovic looks tired. Djokovic looks tired. Djokovic breathing out his mouth. He's a mouth breather. All right, 5-2, Medvedev. Now, Djokovic played three serve volley points, and I don't think he can, that first serve volley point with a missed smash, I think that put doubt in Djokovic's mind. He missed that first smash, and then he missed two volleys off of first serves. I mean, so that's why he doesn't know who, somebody said that other people call Djokovic an all-rounder. He's not an all-rounder. Like I said at the start of the match, playing that game style is really, really cool, but it's not his natural game, and I think we can see that in that last game. Like serve volley tennis is not Djokovic's go-to game. It's not his, he can do it, but it's not, it's not his, it's not his preferred game style. It was working though. It does work. I hope Djokovic sticks out it, but he's got to execute the volleys better. He's almost serving, and then trying to angle the volley, and that's where he's getting caught. He's trying to cut the volley in half, and it's gone in the net. Wow, that volley miss was surprising. He's pretty solid in position in the net. Yeah, when he's in a good position, but he just cuts it too fine. He's trying to cut the ball off the court. In fact, I'm going to show you exactly what he's doing right now, quick. So what's he doing, right? He comes in the net, Djokovic, he's here, and he's trying to hit the ball like angle volleys, which is not bad, because Medvedev's back here, right? He's trying to angle the volley away, but sometimes you've got to hit the volley deep, and just kind of go for the more, because otherwise if he cut the volley fine, and try and hit like a drop volley every time, you're going to hit it in the net. So he's got to be a little bit more, I guess a little bit more variety with the volleys. By the way, just remember that you can all do great things. All right, not just goats. You can also do great things. Remember that, inspiration. Anyways, Medvedev serving for the first set. Has been a return now from Djokovic, back in at four now from Medvedev, is out, love 15. No one needs a bathroom break. If he loses this set, I'm going to say he's going to have one. All right, serve down to the four now from Djokovic, four now from Medvedev to the back end of Djokovic, in the back end of Medvedev, Medvedev in the net, love 30. All right, did Sidney Pass say that? No, no, no, that's something I found on Google. That's a Google quote. Just know that you can also do great things. Ace down the tee, bang, Medvedev. That's another good serve. Remember what I said about his serve? It's got to be, can't go lower, otherwise he's going to be in trouble. Needs to get those first serves in, he does that time. 15-30, and this one's a fault, second serve. Second serve, Medvedev. Down to the four now from Djokovic, four now from Medvedev, Djokovic in control, four down the line is wide though. Man, Djokovic getting a little over-aggressive. Sidney Pass is now a financial advisor. Now Sidney Pass is now trying to be a YouTuber. And the reason why he's asking, you know, the only reason, I'll tell you a little bit of YouTube knowledge behind the scenes stuff. The finance sector on YouTube get a lot of ad revenue. And I think that's why Sidney Pass did it for the ads. All right, 30-0, but hey, also he might have just been trying to help out. I mean, that's probably another thing. Probably just trying to help all of us buy luxury cars and watches. And expensive clothes. 30-0, serve to the back of Djokovic, back in there from Medvedev, back end of Nolay, into the back end of Djokovic, Medvedev with the back end of the net. All right, 30-40, break point. First break point of the day. 22 is not too bad. What are you talking about? My age? Okay. 30-40, serve Medvedev in the net again. Second serve. All right, Djokovic got a chance to get one back. Second serve in the back end of Djokovic, good return in the back end of Medvedev and Medvedev in the net. That was a bad game for Medvedev. That was really bad. That was like three bad ground strike errors. Djokovic gets one back, five-three. 31 minutes into this one. Let's see if Djokovic keeps serving and volling because he had success with that. Even though he made errors in the last game, he's got to stick at it. Because Medvedev doesn't want you to do that. So if Djokovic goes away from that, it's a win for Medvedev. Five-three. Serve down the tee is good. Djokovic doesn't come to the net, but he hits a forehand for a winner. The serve was big, the forehand was bigger. 15-love. Hey, what's going on, Tiana? What did you miss? You missed some great serving from Medvedev and some questionable volleys from Djokovic. And a bad smash. I mean, it all started with the terrible smash. And then the volleys sort of fell apart too. Djokovic to the fold, second serve. Second serve, 0.1 is also a problem for both guys. 15-love. Second serve. Serve it wide, the backhand of Medvedev. Backhand out from Djokovic, again, the backhand of Medvedev. Medvedev hits it out. Medvedev is not playing that well on the baseline. But Djokovic has not been rallying with him enough to know like, oh, he's actually, like Medvedev is not playing super well on the baseline. 30-love as we deserve now from Djokovic. That's an ace. No, Medvedev gets it. Djokovic puts away that smash. I love that he came back to the net. 40-love, 40-love. All right, Djokovic to get the game and make Medvedev serve it out again. He serves a let on the first serve. 40-love, just joining us. It's been a very interesting start. Great serving and solid serve volling from Djokovic, which is an interesting tactic, one that I don't think, I don't think he wants to implore, like do, but kind of has to, against this guy. Has been a serve now the form of Medvedev. Medvedev hits it out. Okay, Djokovic is gonna make Medvedev serve it out again. But it's one of those things where you're like, you know what to do, but you don't wanna do it. And that's where Djokovic does that is, I know I have to serve volley cause I know that's effective strategy, but I don't feel comfortable doing it, but he's doing it anyway. And that's why he's a go. Let's answer more questions. All right, although it doesn't matter much, but how, but you still haven't included Asian time zone in the widget yet. Um, yeah, I might have to replace Paris or, did I put Tokyo on there? No, I'm gonna have to put Tokyo on there. I'll try and remember. Actually, I'll see if I can do it now while we have a break. All right, let's get back to questions though. Why am I betting on tennis in 10 in the morning? Jake, no idea. That is, I got no idea. Medvedev money line, okay. Where's Mia Cam? The Mia camera is off because she's sleeping three in the morning, so it's kinda boring. It's not very interesting when she's passed out in the dark. All right, so what do we want? Tokyo time? Is that all right, chat? Tokyo, or what time zone should we use, chat? Type of time zone in Asia that we should do. Feel like Tokyo is normal, right? That's something that people, is Tokyo that different to like the rest though? Five, four, Medvedev serve for the second, the first set for the second time. Hong Kong time, Tokyo, India, Papua New Guinea. All right, serve to the team, into the back end of Djokovic, back end out from Medvedev, to the back end of Djokovic, sliced, into the back end of Medvedev, back end of Djokovic down the line in the net. 15 left, Djokovic getting angry at himself too. He's getting a little loud. New Delhi, Wisconsin, India. All right, let's see if I can do Mumbai time. As we're gonna find out from Medvedev to the front of Djokovic, get to the front of Medvedev, Djokovic's forehand, inside out is good, Medvedev gets it on the back end, into the back end of Djokovic, back end of Medvedev again, to the back end of Djokovic, into the front of Medvedev, Djokovic back hand, cross court to the back end of Medvedev, again to the back end of Djokovic, his Medvedev hits a forehand, into the slice of Djokovic, Medvedev with the back end, goes cross court, into the back end of Djokovic, sliced again, to the back end of Medvedev, back end of Djokovic down the line is good, Medvedev gets it with the forehand, Djokovic taking over, find the forehand now, his Djokovic goes down the line, into the back end of Medvedev again, into the back end of Djokovic, Medvedev with a four and again in the net. Djokovic outlasting Medi. He knows he can do that too. The serve volley is to get things done quickly, but he can play 30 shot rallies as well if he needs to. Problem is so Medvedev. I'm sure he doesn't wanna get into a, get into a, you know, a battle of the baselines with Medi. Okay, 15-all. Served and this is Let from Medi. Let from Medvedev. As he serves a fault. Second serve, remember Medvedev was a 5-2. He's just joining us. Served goes to Fornir Djokovic, back in at Medvedev, into the slice of Djokovic. To the Fornir Medvedev, Djokovic on the stretch gets a forehand. Fornir Medvedev again to the Fornir Nolay, who's getting aggressive. Djokovic back in at backhand now with Medvedev. As he slices down the line into the Fornir Medvedev. Fornir from Djokovic down the line is good. Medvedev with the backhand on the stretch. Djokovic back in at backhand with Medi. Medi just defending. Djokovic drop shot. Medvedev's gonna get there with the slice. Down the line, Nolay with the lob. Medvedev with the smash, puts it in the ground. This is gonna be our biggest TV run. Nice hitting from Djokovic. The 15-30. 15-30, big chance to get back even here. Okay, I'm trying to find time zone guys for this. What time is it in? What time is it in India? All right, second serve. Second serve in the Fornir Djokovic. Oh, Djokovic in the net. Big second serve from Medvedev. Djokovic slaps it into the net. 30-all. That was rough. 9.30 PM, is it? All right. As we're to serve now, that's a foul. Second serve, is that better? Oh, it's 9.46. Jesus, I can't get halves. Serve out wide to Fornir. Djokovic return goes out. All right, Medvedev with the set point. 40-30. Djokovic is just getting a little bit annoyed at the result so far. Okay, serve out wide. Backhand now from Djokovic goes in. Medvedev forehand is a winner. Medvedev takes the first set. 6-4. He holds Djokovic off for now. 6-4, Medvedev. All right. And the first set goes to Medvedev. Let's answer some questions. Actually, we'll go through some stats and then we'll answer some questions. By the way, 500 likes, appreciate that. I think Medvedev's going to the bathroom. I think Djokovic's also going... No, Medvedev's going to the bathroom. Djokovic's not. Medvedev, Sigma move right there. He's like, I'm going to the bathroom. I just won the set. I'll do what I want. His voice did get deeper. That first set, by the way, 13 winners from Djokovic, 16 errors. Might not be right here, but we're going to tennis TV giving us the full stats. Nine winners from Medvedev, seven errors. Very clean set. But remember, Djokovic coming to the net. Let me talk about net points one from Nolay's point of view because that was, it was good and then it was bad. It started good and then it got bad. Where the hell is Medvedev with the match? Where's, there it is. Okay, let me have a look. So, net points one for Djokovic. Six out of 12. He was at the start of that set. I want to say it was at least 75%. Now he's 50% because of those three errors in that one game where he hit the smash in the ground and then he hit two volley, backhand volleys in the net. So, but he's got to stick at it because that was a winning plan. That was a winning game plan, I reckon. You reckon Nolay comes back and wins with a bagel against Medvedev? I don't think he bagels a breadstick Medvedev. I think he's serving too well to have that happen. But I do think Djokovic comes back in the second. Winner is the shot that is unreturned, untouched. Yeah, that is correct. How do you see Novak for the second set? I think he needs to, like, as much as I love him coming to the net, I think he needs to do that, like, not do that too many times because I think what happened in the first few games, he was doing it a lot and it was great. Then he missed that smash, lost a little confidence, made a couple of errors after that and also Medvedev started hitting passing shots. So it's like, use it but don't use it too much. Otherwise, Medvedev's going to figure it out. Like, we see Sidney Pass, we see Djokovic, sorry, he's curious. They use it sparingly, they throw it in, they don't, you know, constantly do it. Otherwise, Medvedev is going to get used to the tactic and that's going to be bad. But I think Djokovic should still do it, keep doing it. So it does work. I expect Medvedev to be more aggressive. Yeah, well, that's also going to be tough. Cam's always in good spirits. Of course. What is a passing shot exactly? Let's go to class. So a passing shot is when, is when someone's standing at the net and let's say this person hits a shot, pass their opponent, cross court, backhand or whatever, down the line, forehand. When you pass the person at the net, when the ball goes past them for a winner, that's a passing shot. That was an easy explanation. That was a passing shot, pass at the net. Are we still at top 10? Oh, thank you, Cathy for reminding me. I'll tell you, I'll tell you. Let me check. We were at top 10 for a minute. No, we're 11. We were top 10 for a second, but we're now number 11. That's all right. All right, anyways, serving volley, Djokovic, I love it. Drop volley, it's too good, Medvedev didn't get it. He served volley to the first point. He's not going away from it. I love it. That's what he should do. 15 love. I'm so glad that he hasn't reverted away from it because if he does, then Medvedev's going to be like, I'm winning. Djokovic knows. Djokovic knows. All right, 15 love. As we return now, going to the front of Djokovic, Djokovic hits a wide. Man, Nolay's just hitting a little too close to the lines on the ground. Has been served out wide. Going to the front of Djokovic, serve volley again and it works. This is going to be our finish to you. He's done it twice now and it's worked. 30, 15. Again, so happy he hasn't gone away from the tactic. It works. It works. You just got to make sure, I just got to know that it's not going to work every time, but it does work. As he serves again to the back end of Medvedev and Medvedev in the net. Again, serving volleying. At this, I think 40, 15. I don't think he should serve volley here. Give Medvedev something else to think about. Serve and stay back. See what Medvedev does then. Just keep Medvedev guessing. Let's see what he does, Djokovic. Let's see if he's going to employ that tactic. He serves out wide, doesn't go into the net. As he puts the forehand down the line, Medvedev with the backhand. Djokovic, backhand down the line, into the front of Medvedev. Again, to the front of Djokovic, who hits the tape and goes over. Backhand to Medvedev, into the backhand of Djokovic on the stretch. Medvedev, backhand to forehand now. As Djokovic goes inside out, again to the backhand of Medvedev. Backhand from Djokovic, down the line, Medvedev gets on the forehand. Medvedev, Djokovic in the net. But I didn't mind that. I liked that he gave a different look. What he needs to do. Otherwise he gets predictable. You know what I'm going to be predictable? 40-30. He almost did serve volley though. He sort of had to start a step. He's like, oh. All right, let's see if he can do it again. Djokovic with the serve. Down the tee is a fault. Second serve. Now he shouldn't serve volley here. That's too risky. Second serve. Second serve into the forehand of Medvedev. He stays back, does Djokovic. And he hits the forehand down the line. Medvedev with the backhand. The backhand drop shot of Nolay. That's a good tactic. Medvedev comes to the net. Djokovic with the lob. It's going out though. I don't know why Djokovic wouldn't go down, like try and hit to Medvedev's volley. Because Medvedev doesn't have a good volley. The lob was to lob a six foot six guy. That's risky. And reduce. But I love the drop shot. Again, good tactic. Medvedev's at his worst sort of in that net. Sort of, that's where he plays his worst ugliest shots. Is in that, in the service boxes. Drop shots, volleys. That's very ugly. Has been a forehand return there from Medvedev. Djokovic stays back into the backhand now of Medvedev. Slice from Djokovic. Into the backhand of Medvedev. Into the backhand of Djokovic. As Medvedev hits the backhand. Again, the backhand of Nolay. Backhand of backhand. As Medvedev goes again to the backhand slice of Djokovic. Medvedev with the forehand. Is a winner. Inside out winner. Djokovic's nowhere to be seen. Unbelievable. What a shot. Advantage Medvedev. That was crazy. Djokovic thought he was going down the line instead of running. Medvedev fooled him. All right. Advantage Medvedev. This is crazy. Djokovic serves. A fault. Oh God, here we go. Second serve. Second serve. Djokovic. Into the forehand of Medvedev. Backhand of Djokovic. Into the backhand of Medvedev. Again, to the backhand of Nolay. As Medvedev hits the backhand. Again, to the backhand of Djokovic. Medvedev backhand. Into the backhand again of Djokovic. To the backhand of Medvedev. Who's going to blink? Backhand of backhand. There's been another one from Djokovic going into the backhand of Medvedev. Djokovic making Medvedev move. As he goes again. Cross court with the backhand. Backhand of backhand still. As now Medvedev hits the forehand. Into the forehand of Djokovic. You get into the form of Medvedev to the back end of Djokovic. Medvedev gets the point. Djokovic hits it long, but we're getting a challenge. Djokovic is yelling the up by saying, is it out? Tell me. And he's like, I don't know. Djokovic challenges. If it's in, it's in. If it's out, it's out. Replay if it's in. Medvedev, he doesn't know. That was out. Medvedev breaks. Medvedev breaks. Medvedev breaks. That's, wow. All right. Medvedev with a break. First game of the second. Crazy. Okay. Now, Djokovic is, man, he does look tired. He does look tired. That's what Medvedev does. He makes you feel tired just by looking at him. Let's see what he's got here, Medvedev. Can he keep serving well? Man, this is crazy. I didn't, look, out of all the things that could have happened today, I didn't think this was gonna be this way. Definitely not over yet, but I didn't think this was gonna be Medvedev winning in straight sets. At least not as easy straight sets, you know, like a breakdown each. And that goes wide from Djokovic. Djokovic is now trying to hit the ball hard. It's going out. 15 love. Why isn't all they tired? He did play a long match in the first round, but he's also, he does have, like over the last six months, remember his energy levels have been going crazy. Remember how he saw him play like, pause at Sidney Paston, ruin a last year in Paris, and he just completely looked spent. As Djokovic slaps that return out by a mile, what is he doing? Terrible from Nolle. 30 love, Goran does not look happy now. He's not laughing. Goran is looking worried. 30 love. First serve is a fault, second serve. Second serve, his return goes in, the back of Medvedev, Djokovic with a forehand slapped out. What is he? Djokovic is playing like Rubeblev on a bad day. Like what is he, what is going on? By the way, can we please in the chat? Can we refrain from laughing at someone losing? I really, come on. I know you might be happy, but just keep it to yourself. People in the chat are unhappy. All right, so just come on. I don't want to see that. Two love, Medvedev. Celebrate Medvedev. Don't celebrate Djokovic losing, come on. We're better than that. Anyways, two love. Celebrate Medvedev winning, come on. Nolle has to wear in order to intimidate Rubeblev. That's the thing, at the moment he's not going to play Rubeblev. Okay, Djokovic serving to get on the board here. As we return now to the forehand of Nolle, that's a good shot. Backhand out from Medvedev is good. Djokovic with a drop. Volley is a winner. That's a solid drop, Volley there. 15 love. 15 love. And Djokovic serves again. Down the tee, great serve. Medvedev returns, forehand from Djokovic, winner. There you go. First serves are helping. 30 love. 30 love. As we return to the backhand of Medvedev. Backhand out from Medvedev again to the forehand of Djokovic. Into the forehand of Medvedev. Forehand from Djokovic, go, no, Medvedev goes wide. 40 love. Just because they say they're happy doesn't mean a happy Djokovic is losing. No, I'm not talking to the people that are saying they're happy of the result of Medvedev. People that are saying I am happy that Djokovic is losing, I don't wanna see that. I don't wanna see that for Medvedev either if he starts losing either. One game on the board for Djokovic, two one. Just like I don't like seeing it when other people lose as well. Like we don't, come on. We're better than that. Don't laugh at people losing. It's simple. Be happy for Medvedev. Don't be happy for the loss, all right? Come on. Weird vibe from Novak. Yeah, look, Nolay, like I said, he's looking tired. He looks spent, it's weird as hell. He hasn't played that much, weird. Happy to see Medvedev put on a fight. There you go. There you go. Respectful, all right? Happy for the upset, okay. I mean, again, support Medvedev. Be happy for the upset, support Medvedev. Yeah, Djokovic does look spent, doesn't he? It's weird, because ADP players are better than you. Than who? Than Djokovic? So happy for Rubelev after his first, after some first round losses. Yeah, great to see Rubelev coming good. He played so well against Runa in that Australian Open Epic. It's good to see him back on track a little bit. Novak 6'3", 6'4", okay. Medvedev had a luck loss to 2022. He seems to really determine these past few weeks playing great ball. Yeah, Henrik, agree. And it's really interesting because as soon as he dropped out of the top 10, that's almost like the great reset. You know? You know what I mean? Like that was almost the great, like when he fell out of the top 10 and almost like he started it from scratch, and now he hasn't lost since. So it was really interesting when he lost that first. When he got out of the top 10, it kind of almost relieved all his pressure, I guess. All right, here we go. Serve down the tee, he's good. Djokovic gets it back. Four now from Medvedev into the back of Djokovic, into the back of Medvedev. Djokovic to the backhand, again at the back of Medvedev, Djokovic hits it out. 15 love. Can Djokovic break back? He broke back in the first set. He broke once. As we have a fault, second serve. Chats on fire, yeah, it is. Chat is flying. It's gonna matter how you're doing. All right, second serve Medvedev down the tee. He's good. Djokovic gets it. Four now Medvedev is a winner. And Medvedev's serving. It's insane. But he's missing a lot of first serves, but he is getting a lot of bigger second serves. And now because he's got a set and a break, he can afford to kind of be a bit more aggressive on the second serve and risk a little bit more. 30 love. First serve is a foul, second serve. Second serve Medvedev. A double foul, but he went for a big second serve. Does Medvedev. That's called confidence. You got a set and a break. He went for a massive second serve and he missed, but that's, I mean, he'll win some of those points too. 30-15, serve out wide as a foul, second serve. Let's see if he can't do it again. Can't be hitting too many big second serves. He serves now the backhand of Djokovic. Backhand from Medvedev. Down the line to the forehand of Djokovic, to the forehand of Medvedev. No way, forehand into the forehand of Medvedev, to the backhand of Djokovic. Sliced, Medvedev, backhand slice. Get into the backhand of Djokovic. Medvedev on the stretch. Djokovic gets a forehand, goes wide. Again, Djokovic just saying that the ball was sliding through. Maybe the court service is a little bit frustrating. 40-15. Now the ball didn't bounce up as high, I guess as Djokovic expected. 40-15, Medvedev hanging on to this break. Almost one hour played. It feels longer. Feels like we've played for over an hour already. Medvedev serves a foul, second serve. Massive second serve, but Djokovic smacks it back. Medvedev can't control it. 40-30. Still a chance in for Medvedev. I just realized I don't care who wins. That's always a good place to have a good mentality to have. That's what I have most of the time. Doesn't really matter. 40-30. Serving to the backhand of Djokovic, return goes to the backhand of Medvedev, into the slice of Djokovic, Medvedev with the forehand, came to the backhand of Djokovic, sliced, into the slice of Medvedev. Djokovic with the forehand again, to the backhand of Medvedev, into the forehand of Djokovic. Medvedev on the stretch with a slice. Djokovic hit in the baseline, forehand winner though from Nolay. And we're a deuce. We get to deuce. When Medvedev is on, he's in penetrable wall, yeah. Here's a mini chance for Nolay to get the break back. Needs Medvedev to miss a first serve though. Medvedev serves, a let. Oh, that's a shame. Djokovic smacks a return. That would have been a massive return. Anyways, there's a let. Another serve coming up in this match. We are getting, we've got an interesting match. I think that's straight sets for Djokovic. As Medvedev serves an ace, how wide? This is going to be our biggest TV run. I feel like it was like 6'3", 6'4", Djokovic. That would have been the most boring, straightforward result. We're not getting that. So we're not, we might not get a three setter if Medvedev keeps serving like this, but at least we're getting something different. Something interesting in this matchup. Serve out wide at the back end of Djokovic. Back end out from Medvedev into the forehand of Djokovic. Again at the back end of Medvedev. As Medvedev tries to get to 3-1. Djokovic forehand into the forehand of Medvedev. Again at the forehand of Djokovic. Down the line at the back end of Medvedev. Djokovic hits it out. Medvedev stays in front. Thank you, Dawn. That was annoying. Dawn, we're gonna start calling you Lady Thor because you've got the hammer. You're throwing that hammer around. No, get those spammers out of here, throwing that hammer. Dawn, Lady Thor, is that a good name or not? We would not call you that if you don't want to be called that. But you've got the hammer. You're throwing that hammer. I appreciate it. Thank you for helping out big time. Back here to Djokovic serving. He's down a break here. By the way, I can confirm we are officially the number one sports stream on YouTube in America. Number one in America, baby. Why are we America? Because the default settings on YouTube, I'm an idiot and I didn't know how, I don't know how to change it. We're back in Slice from Medvedev. For whatever, Djokovic is the winner. All right, 15 love. So number one in America, which I think is pretty cool. That is pretty cool. 15 love. I think we're number 11 in the world, currently. Oh, by the way, if we were in the UK, we would also be number one because the UK, we would always, yeah. If we were in the UK, but we're not. We're in America, apparently. All right, return goes in there from Medvedev. Oh, Djokovic with a serve volley. Medvedev's like, could have hit that over. 30 love, 30 love. As we have served down the 10th back end Medvedev, volley from Djokovic is good. Medvedev gets a winner though, down the line. Djokovic didn't go for a drop volley. He went for a deep volley. Medvedev was there to smack it past him. Got to be a little careful with the volleys that you hit Djokovic, because he hit it straight to Medvedev's forehand. He just went, smack, down the line. 30, 15. That's the first passing shot winner I've seen Medvedev do, I think. Because Djokovic has served and volley pretty solid. Oh, he's missed the volley. All right, serve out wide. Backhand Medvedev goes in the forehand of Djokovic. He stays back this time and hits it out. 30, all. Djokovic again, just hitting the line, trying to hit the lines, not making it. Just hitting it wide. All right, 30, all. Double break would be crazy right now. Djokovic serves. A fault, man. He's not getting those goat serves either. Those big aces down the tee are not happening either. Second serve, 30, all. Second serve into the forehand of Medvedev. Forehand of Djokovic goes into the forehand of Medvedev. Getting the forehand of Djokovic. Medvede on the backhand comes to the stretch. He hits it out, though. And it's 40-30. Medvede just lunging and hitting it long. 40-30. Djokovic serves again, just keep in touch. Serve down the tee, into the forehand of Medvedev. The primarily coming from Djokovic goes again to the forehand of Medvedev. Into the forehand of Djokovic. Medvedev with the backhand on the stretch. Into the backhand of Djokovic. Medvedev with the forehand. Goes in, Djokovic gets it, back in the backhand. As Medvedev pushes Djokovic out wide, now down the line from Medvedev, into the four in a no-late, four in a Medvedev, again into the four in a Djokovic, down the line, is out. And Medvedev gets the doce. Okay, this is another huge game. Remember the first set, this was a similar situation. Medvedev got the break, then he got another break. Then Medvedev, then Djokovic started to come back, but he can't go down a double break. It might be one too many. And again, like I always say, if anyone's gonna do anything crazy, it's probably a goat, and it's most likely this goat, especially when it comes to comebacks. Djokovic in the match, by the way, 28 errors. That's ridiculous. Only eight from Medvedev, that's pretty good. In fact, that's insane. Serve, out wide. Serve and volley, oh, Medvedev hits it in the net though. Djokovic with the serve and volley. Medvedev hits it in the net. Good timing, advantage. Advantage Djokovic. He's bouncing the ball here, no way. And he serves a fault. Second serve, second serve. By the way, after this, I have a question for all of the chat. So get ready to type. Advantage Djokovic, serve goes in, no, it's out. Double fault. Got myself in there. Double fault Djokovic, back to Deuce. Hey, what's going on? Wolf, how you doing, mate? Warner in the chat too? What's going on, Ryan? Okay, back to Deuce. This game, crucial for Djokovic. He can come back from 4-1 down, double break, but I'm sure he doesn't want to. Deuce has been a serve now from Djokovic. Down to the back of Medvedev, return to the front of Djokovic. Medvedev with the backhand on the stretch. Djokovic, let's it go out from Medvedev. All right, Djokovic gets the advantage again to stay in front, not sorry, to stay in touch. Try and get back in front if you can break. Keep Medvedev accountable, advantage Djokovic. Serve out wide the backhand of Medvedev. Medvedev in the net, Djokovic survives, but he's still down to break in a set. All right, chat now. I want you to tell me where you're watching from. What country you're watching from? Because I want to see how many countries we can cover in the chat. How many countries can we take off the list? I want to know what country are you watching from? We've got America, take that off the list. India, Rubelev, that's not a place, is it? Bangladesh, we've got Serbia, we've got UK, we've got Costa Rica, Latvia, Indonesia, we've got Tunisia, we've got Mexico, Swaziland, we've got England, we've got USA, a lot of Americans, Guatemala in the chat, Q8. Germany, we've also got Mongolia, we've got the Netherlands in the chat, we've got Canada, Mexico, Nepal, Pakistan, Italy, we've got Myanmar, Swaziland, Sweden, Singapore, Malaysia, Jamaica, South Africa, I saw, I think for a split second, or otherwise I can't see Luxembourg, Jesus, tough. Denmark, chat is on fire, Thailand, Egypt, Philippines, Belgium, is that one keeping notes? Somebody writing this down? Dominican Republic, Mars, Antarctica, that's unlikely. Portugal, what else we got? Switzerland, okay, Antarctica, somebody already made that joke, better luck next year. Malta, Liechtenstein, Jesus, Macedonia, Turkey, Tunisia, think I said that already, don't forget Mars, Mars is in the country, it's a planet, come on. Better than that, you're in space, not a country. Croatia, Greece, North Korea, unlikely, North Pole, all right, Santa, Dubai, Monaco, rich, Nigeria, Scotland, Hungary, Qatar, Uzbekistan, we've got Japan, Greenland, Jupiter, my God. By the way, Medvedev saying the ball was in, was not a let, he said the ball was over the net by this much, the umpire saying it was a let and nothing to say about that, Pluto, Pluto is like a rock, an ice rock, that's not even a planet anymore, come on now, I'm not even close, Zimbabwe, I'm hungry too. Cool, Bali, Slovenia, Serbia, all right. By the way, Djokovic, Djokovic is saying, what's he saying to the umpire? So is Djokovic saying the ball, is he complaining to the umpire that they're both talking about the serving of Medvedev here? So Medvedev hit a foot fault, so Medvedev hit a foot fault, what's he saying? So Djokovic is asking, so I have no idea what's happening. Is Medvedev, Djokovic saying that I wasn't ready while he had his service motion? And Medvedev's like, oh no, so Medvedev went to serve, but he didn't, he went to serve like, sure, we need a replay. So was Djokovic not ready for the serve and Medvedev served it, is that what happened? I'm so confused, here we go, Medvedev's gonna serve anyway. Thanks for the replay, anyway, serve. It was a foot fault, okay, so it was a foot fault. I don't know why Djokovic was getting involved. Anyways, 4-1 to 4-1 rally as Medvedev goes again to the 4-1 to Djokovic, 4-1 out from Medvedev, into the back end of Djokovic, back end of Medvedev, out, no that was in, challenge Djokovic, so what happened? I'll tell you what happened. So what happened was it was called a foot fault before Medvedev even hit the ball, that's what happened. So there was a foot fault called before the hit, which is impossible because you can't hit a foot fault if you don't hit the ball. So how can it be a foot fault if it was called before the shot? That was out by Djokovic, very unlucky. So when Medvedev was like this, they went foot fault and he's like, but I didn't hit, so they replayed the point, but that's weird. The lion's person getting a little excited. So it was called a foot fault before he hit the serve and then that was a distraction? If it was a foot fault, I mean, if it was a foot fault then it should have been called a foot fault, but they called it too early. And that turned it into a hindrance, which meant a replay, I think, weird. So they called, yeah, they called the foot fault before Medvedev actually hit the ball. It's not a foot fault unless you hit the ball. So, yeah, until you hit the ball, if you hit the ball when you hit, touching the line, that's a foot fault, but you can't, if you touch the line before the serve it's not a foot fault, apparently, well. Anyways, weird as hell, doesn't matter, 15-0, we're back into it. Lion's person getting a little bit excited. As Medvedev hits a slice forehand, Djokovic in control, forehand to forehand as Medvedev goes down the line to the back end of Djokovic. Back end of Medvedev, again to the back end of Nolay. Drop shot, Djokovic, Medvedev's there with a forehand, drop shot back, Djokovic with a slice lob in, Medvedev in the back end pass, Djokovic to the volley, Medvedev runs, forehand, Djokovic volleys, Medvedev back end, winner, great rally. This is gonna be our finished team. Great rally from Medvedev, 15-0, sorry, 30-15. Everyone's on their feet, waving their flags around. 30-15, great rally, Djokovic at the net, he was just defending, couldn't do much. 30-15, from the first volley, Djokovic was just trying to get a pitch a slice. Like a fruit ninja, just reacting to everything. 30-15, Djokovic, Medvedev serving, just over an hour played here, winner plays Rubelev. Rubelev has a bad record against both these guys, so that doesn't really matter, the final, we'll talk about it later, but the record against these guys with Rubelev, I think he's got one win against either of these, each of these guys. As that return goes out from Medvedev, all right, 30-0, here's a chance. Here's the chance, 30-0. Hey, thank you, Johnathan for the dollar, appreciate it. As Medvedev serves the back end of Djokovic, back end of Medvedev is good, Djokovic gets it with the back end, into the back end of Medvedev, again to the fore end of Djokovic, into the net from Norway, another error. 40-30, 40-30, Medvedev to get to 4-2 in this second set, he serves into the front of Djokovic, return to the front of Medvedev, front of Djokovic, down the line is good, Medvedev with a slice, Nolay comes in with a volley, with a forehand, sorry, and Medvedev gets it back, and then Djokovic puts away the smash, and now we get to do Djokovic, very nice shot down the line. Uncharacteristic amount of errors, yeah. What badges does Medvedev have? He's got big server and a defensive baseliner, brick wall. All right, we're back at Deuce, big game coming up, as Medvedev serves, a fault, that was close, second serve, second serve, into the front of Djokovic, but Djokovic hits it out, good body serve from Medvedev, advantage Medvedev, I'm going to class up to this point, all right, Nicky, have a good day, advantage Medvedev to get the 4-2 lead, he serves down to see the front of Djokovic, return goes in to the back of Medvedev, for Nolay, he's back in the rally, Nolay hits a winner, no, it's out, it's called wide, but we're getting a challenge, Hawkeye hasn't been, I mean, the players haven't been that right today, this line's person looks very confident, if it's in, it's a winner though, if it's out, it's 4-2, and that was out, yep. The line's people have been very solid in this match, not too many mistakes, except for that foot fault call that was very early, but everything else, they've been watching these lines like a hawk and they haven't got any wrong, or at least they haven't, they've made more right than wrong. All right, 4-2, Djokovic walking slowly to the chair to get a new racket, he's taken all the time in the world, I mean, geez, is this legal? I mean, look, there's no shot clock, is this serious? Djokovic is taking a lot of time here, and there is no shot clock. Look, I don't want to be the guy who asked for homework at the end of the week on a Friday, where's our homework miss? I don't want to be that guy, but I'm pretty sure at the end of the last point, you have to be ready to serve with 24 seconds, right? Well, 30 seconds, that was way longer than that. In fact, the shot clock only showed up when Djokovic hit the baseline. All right, 4-2, no lie, 4-2, 4-2, as that goes down to the back end of Djokovic, back end of Mevvedev, again to the 4-2, no lie, but Medi hits it out, seems a little bit, I don't know, what's the point in a shot clock if there's no, they're not gonna use it? Anyways, 15 love, I don't want to be that guy, but don't have a shot clock. Serve out while at the back end of Mevvedev, volley from no lie, half volley is not good enough, Mevvedev comes in with a pass, but Djokovic puts the second volley away. 30 love, 30 love, until match point, you can't say anything, exactly, this match is never over, unless Djokovic loses the match point, that's it. Djokovic with a serve, as he serves in the tee, that's a fault, second serve. By the way, thank you everybody who's hanging out with us today, welcome to the new people, welcome to the stream. Hope you're enjoying, I hope you're not too worried about what's happening, hopefully Djokovic fans will be a little worried, he's at the back end of the line for a winner. Bang, 40 love, 40 love, as Djokovic tries again, stay close, maybe Mevvedev gets a little nervous like he did at the A to B finals last year, remember he was serving, well someone in the chat reminded us, he was serving for the match against Djokovic at the A to B finals, and Djokovic won in a tie breaker, so maybe, maybe he's gonna get a little nervous, Mehdi. So many new subscribers today, yeah, thank you everybody, love the new people, appreciate it. That serve was in by the way from Djokovic, he should have challenged, but Mevvedev hits it anyway, so always right in the world, and everything. All right, four, three, Djokovic gets the game, stays close, stays very close. All right, let's answer questions. Answer my question, the question is set. Djokovic's serving. America is not a country, WTJ. What is WTJ? Thank you, Jonathan, for the donation. What do you mean WTJ? What's that stand for? What the joker? I don't know what's up. Epic matchup, yeah. Let's see, like the epic matchup is there, but the epic match, we haven't quite gotten yet. We need a three set up. Mehdi should just stay calm, yeah, for sure. He just needs to serve two big service games and he's out of here. He's won. Did I ever get blocked on bets? No, because I don't win enough for them to consider me a threat. I lose enough money that they make enough money off me so they don't block me. True, they look at my account and go, ah, no, he donates too much. He gives too much to us. If I got blocked, it means I'm doing something right. No chance. Djokovic, you got this, there you go. Is not only moving slowly or shots speed up, shots sped, oh, sorry, I missed that. Can't read. Yeah, been watching Acapulco, yeah, yeah. Mehdi will get his hard earned win here and he's on the way. Do they block betting if you lose too much? No, if you lose, they probably encourage you. Come on, they're in the business of making money. They're in the business of charity, being nice, come on. If they stop people from losing their money, then they won't make any money. It's only if you're taking money from the casino that they'll ban you because you're too damn good. And you can't have that. Let's get back to it. Four, three, can Djokovic come back? Yes or no, chat, yes or no? Am I faded? No. As we're back into back-end rally, Slice goes into the back-end of Mehdi. Back-end from Djokovic, Slice goes wide, 15-love. Yes or no, Mehdi, is Djokovic coming back and winning? Man, the chat went crazy for that question. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no? A lot of yeses and a lot of noes. Not tonight, okay. Yes or no, is Djokovic coming back? Am I sleepy? No. I'm fine, totally good. Four and a half from Mehdi, goes to Slice to Djokovic, who hits it into the four and Mehdi, Djokovic with the back-end pass, Mehdi for the volley. The volley goes wide from Mehdi. He's got a challenge though, okay? If this is in, it's a replay and a first serve. So this is a big challenge. Mehdi would love to replay that point. If that volley did hit the line, if it's out, it's 15-all. Oh, that was close. It was very close, but it was wide. You cannot be serious. Mehdi hits it wide on the volley. 15-all. Serve out wide, the four-and-of Djokovic, back-end of Mehdi with the back-end of Djokovic, Slice into the four-and-of Mehdi. Back-end of Djokovic, Slice again, into the back-end of Djokovic, four-and-of Mehdi from Mehdi. Oh, sorry, back-end of Mehdi into the four-and-of Djokovic. Again, to the four-and-of Mehdi, but Djokovic hits it out, another error. 30-15, six points. Six points away Mehdi from finally beating Djokovic for the first time since the U.S. opened in 21. 30-15, Mehdi serves it a fault. Well, that was close. He's not gonna challenge. That guy's been on point. That line's person, he's got 40-40 vision. That guy has been a laser down that line. As Mehdi comes to the net and hits it in the net. That was a terrible approach shot. Mehdi, bleh, 30-all. Now he's in trouble, Mehdi, awkward as hell. Almost hit himself in the head with that four-hand. It's weird. Yeah, the octopus legs all over the place. Serve it and see the back-end of Djokovic's return goes out. Good serve, Mehdi-Dev. And Nolay getting angry at himself. Yellen, not happy at all. 40-30. Mehdi-Dev gets a 5-3. Serve it to the forehand of Djokovic. Forehand of Mehdi-Dev into the back-end slices of Djokovic. Mehdi-Dev with the forehand down the line. Djokovic gets on the stretch. Forehand from Mehdi-Dev to the back. I don't know if it's the forehand of Djokovic again. As Mehdi-Dev hits the backhand on the stretch. Djokovic, forehand down the line. Mehdi going side-to-side. As backhand down Djokovic, down the middle. Hit the tape goes over. Mehdi-Dev's there with the forehand. He doesn't go to the net, though. Forehand to forehand, as Mehdi-Dev hits it in the net. That's why he should have gone to the net. He ran backwards. And I'll show it on the whiteboard maybe after this. Djokovic says sorry for hitting the tape. But Mehdi-Dev hit the ball. His momentum was going forward. He stopped. Put on the brakes. Screep. And then ran backwards. And then he got caught. No man's land. That's where he was. All right, one hour and 24 minutes played. Djokovic's having a massive conversation with his coach. And they're just like, What? Did you talk to me? Douce. As Mehdi serves. He serves a fault. Second serve. He's going to go for a big second serve, Mehdi-Dev. He is. Out wide to the front of Djokovic. Front of Mehdi-Dev down the line. Djokovic is in the rally with a slice. To the backhand of Mehdi-Dev. Djokovic with a forehand. Again to the backhand of Mehdi-Dev. Djokovic with a backhand. Again to the backhand of Mehdi. Into the backhand of Nolay. Sliced. Mehdi-Dev hits a forehand. Djokovic hits a baseline. Backhand of backhand now. As Mehdi again. To the backhand of Djokovic. Backhand of Mehdi-Dev. Into the forehand of Djokovic. To the backhand again of Mehdi-Dev. Djokovic backhand on the stretch. Mehdi-Dev making Djokovic hit it out. Nolay hits it long again. Advantage Mehdi-Dev. And Nolay again. He's just like, What is happening? And they don't, Goran's not answering him. And he's just like, Get stuffed. Mary Invada would have given the answers. Goran looks like he's about to lose his job. He looks like a man who's been called into his boss's office. Like, Hey, I need to talk to you. Come here. Yeah, yeah. Come to my office. Goran's like, Please, can we not talk about this? I've got to go to the toilet first. It's my lunch break. Ace down the tee bang. Mehdi-Dev five three. Mehdi five three. Mehdi-Dev about to flip the script on Adelaide. Five three. You mean Severin Luthi? No, that's not Djokovic's coach. That was Federer's coach. Mehdi-Dev picking his nose. We saw that, Mehdi. He went like, Mehdi, Mehdi's going like this. We can see that. Come on. Kind of. I'm not picking my nose. Matt, you are. Come on. Wipe those boogers off your fingers. All right. Five three. There's been a serve down the tee. Severin volley from Djokovic. The volley's not bad. Mehdi-Dev with a pass. Djokovic can't get it. Oh, is that in? Did Mehdi hit it in? What a shot. Mehdi-Dev flicked the forehand and landed in. That was a raffle shot. I love 15. He smacked the crap out of that at Djokovic. Djokovic's like, Jesus. Trying to take my head off. Yes. That landed inside the baseline. That had a lot of topsmen. Good shot, Mehdi. Serve down the tee. Nice serve. Return comes in though. Four and half from Djokovic, winner. Nice forehand combo. One two punch. 15 all. The serve and volley strat doesn't work for Nolay. Yeah. That's why he's not an all-rounder, Djokovic, because he can't do that successfully enough. He can do it though. He's doing it now. As he comes in with a volley and puts it away. As long as he gets a good enough serve, the volley is easy. But sometimes when he has to hit a tough volley, also I'm gonna get the whiteboard out for this and show you the difference between a serve volley down the tee and a serve volley out wide. Because serve volley down the tee in singles is never really a good strategy. Unless you have a really good serve down the tee. As Djokovic hits the forehand now into the open court for a winner or did he hit it out again? No way. He hit it out. 30 all. He hit it out. I mean, I, before he hit the ball, I said it was in. How did he miss that? Mehdi was going the wrong way. 30 all. This is a massive point. Mehdi about to wrap this up in straights. 30 all Djokovic with a serve. Out wide, Mehdi returns. Djokovic lets it go out. Serve and volley again from Noley. Serve out wide. That's better. 40, 30. Serve is a fault from Djokovic. Second serve. Mental game at the moment. Yeah. Djokovic's just trying to make Mehdi serve this out. As he serves now the backhand of Mehdi. Backhand from Djokovic into the forehand of Mehdi. Again to the forehand of Djokovic. Mehdi with the backhand, but Djokovic hits it out again. Another forehand error from Noley. Back to the deuce. Advantage gone. Back to deuce. I ask again chat. Who is going to win this set? Maybe not the match, but who's going to win this set? Mehdi or Noley. Who's going to win this set? Serve out wide at the forehand of Mehdi. Return to the backhand of Djokovic. That goes down the line for a winner. Back behind Mehdi. Smart. Advantage Djokovic. Who's going to take it? Mehdi or Noley. This set. What do you say, Mehdi? Someone said late in here. You're about 20 years too late. No back, no back, no back. Don't ask. Too late. We are live. Can't take it back. Forehand to forehand rallies. That goes into the forehand of Mehdi. Forehand from Djokovic. Goes again to the forehand of Mehdi. Mehdi hits it out. All right, there's a rare error from Mehdi. What do you say, Mehdi? All right. Now let's go to the whiteboard and I'll show you the difference between a good and a bad serve volley. So in singles, the serve volley, the normal or the easy serve volley tactic. No, it's not always easy, but it's the most effective is when you serve out wide, you come to the net and then you volley it into the open court, right? Cause you get your opponent out wide here and you have the whole court to hit into, right? Serving it down the tee and volleying, your opponent returns the ball here. And then when you're here, there's not as much court to cover for your opponent, right? So it's going to be hard to hit a volley away from your opponent when you serve down the tee and volley. So serve out wide, come to the net volley. Unless you have a big first serve that maybe they slice the return, that's the only time that I would encourage serving and volleying down the tee or maybe to mix it up, right? You don't want to be predictable. You know, maybe your opponent stands here on a return and then you can mix it up, go down the tee. But yeah, serving and volleying down the tee is always a riskier play. Serving out wide, opening the court up. But when you, one last thing, one last thing before we dismiss, if you do serve out wide and your opponent's here, make sure that you are watching this side of the court a little bit more. So you serve, you come to the net, because cross court might be great, it's a bit harder to hit, but down the line is open, right? So you've got to cover the line when you serve out wide, cover the line, all right? Take that to your matches. By the way, serve volley tennis doesn't really work these days for the most part. So do serve volleys at your own risk, but also limited serve volleys. Don't do them every single point, unless you're playing someone like a Medvedev, I guess, but I wouldn't put it out there. Serve volley is good to have. It's always good to have variety. So I encourage you to serve volley, but just make sure you don't use it, or don't use it like deuce on a second serve, or something silly, right? Try it at 40 love. You know, when you're up 40 love, you know? Okay, let's get back to the match because Medvedev lost the first point, love 15. And yes, you can do great things. That's what that, hopefully that inspires you. We're going to keep the classroom positive. We're going to add decorations to the classroom as we go along. We need to spruce it up a bit in the classroom. It's a little bit dull. As we serve now, backhand of Djokovic, backhand now from Medvedev. That's a good shot and all over the slice. Djokovic forehand on the stretch, gets it with a lob, Medvedev with a smash. Oh, Medvedev just puts that away. Almost shanked it out. 15-0. Thanks, Patrick Maratoglu. You're welcome. I'm not that high. 15-0. Yeah, we need posters. We need to decorate the classroom. Return now goes the front of Medvedev, backhand of Djokovic, sliced into the front of Medvedev. Again, to the front of Djokovic, as Medvedev hits the forehand, down the line to the backhand of Djokovic. Into the backhand of Medvedev. Djokovic backhand slice, goes again to the backhand of Medvedev, into the slice of Djokovic. Medvedev with the backhand, again to the slice of Djokovic. The Djokovic slices in the net. Again, it gets in the habit. You can't slice. If you slice five times in a row, especially if you're no-lay, it's not gonna end well. 30-15, Medvedev is two points away from getting the win. And this has a very similar scoreline to the US Open. This is very interesting. How close this is to the US Open. By the way, chat, those who asked, we are actually number eight in the world right now. As we're at a four-way now, return winner from Djokovic! 30-O! We're the number eight. Number eight in the world right now, chat. Number eight. That's a high, that's a very high right now. At, not high. It's T. I swear. 30-O! Serve down the T, the foul, take a serve. We're currently number eight. Second serve, Medvedev. This is a massive point. Has been a return down from Djokovic. That's good. Backhand out of Medvedev, to the backhand of Djokovic. Down the line to the four-num Medvedev. Djokovic to the forehand, again to the four-num Medvedev. Into the backhand of Djokovic. Has Medvedev hit the backhand? Into the four-num Djokovic. Again to the four-num Medvedev. Djokovic hitting the ball deep in the court, four-hand to forehand. As Medvedev goes down the line, no all over the backhand, cross-court. Djokovic with the backhand again. Drop shot, that's great. That's amazing. Medvedev gets it. Oh no, why Medvedev gets it? He's not finished TV. He hits a drop shot back. And Djokovic wasn't there. Wow! Medvedev with a drop shot return. How did he hit that? That was an amazing, how did he get there? I mean, that was a great drop shot. And then Medvedev just cuts it even finer. Djokovic was nowhere near. Medvedev goes, I'm sorry, let's go. Match point, Medvedev. That was incredible by Medvedev. Who said he can't play on clay? Let's see what happens. Serb down T, here's a... What was that, let? It was a let. By the way, if this is the final point, don't forget to come back for the final tomorrow. Medvedev versus Rublev. We're gonna finish off with a massive match there if that is the case. If this ends the way it... This ends right now. First serve, down the tee. Djokovic returns, forehand goes in. Medvedev with the forehand, winner. Medvedev gets revenge. He finally beats Djokovic to the first time since the US Open. And Djokovic played one of the worst matches I've ever seen him play. I mean, that was so many errors. And Medvedev, oh, they're hugging it out. Djokovic's streak is over, but Medvedev is just getting started. Medvedev gets the straight sets win, GGs. Great win from Medi. He played solid. Djokovic though, so many errors. All the errors. 6-4, 6-4, that was the US Open. 4-4 and 4. First win since that time, Medvedev. I think we could say he's back. I think we could say Medi's back, right? Medi's well and truly back. We said it last week, but now I think it's confirmed. Medvedev is back. Well and truly, you beat the guy who hasn't lost, you're back. You were well and truly back. Now he's gonna play his mate. He's gonna go play Rubelev tomorrow, the defending champ. That's gonna be a fun final. It's gonna be an interesting final. The final that I don't think, well, the final that I didn't expect, I thought it would be very of Djokovic. By the way, if you're not leaving, we're almost at 1,000 likes. Come on, smack the like button on the way out. Just give it a little high five on the way out as you leave the classroom. But thank you for joining us, appreciate. Novak leaves, takes his first loss of the year, and we don't know when we're gonna see him again. He said he's gonna pull out of Indian Wells if he doesn't get a response by Monday, whether or not he can play in America. So yeah, we don't know whether or not he's gonna be playing in a week or four weeks. Monte Carlo is most likely where he's gonna play. Same with Rafa. So we might not see the goats until then, but man, Mehdi's just getting started. Mehdi is back, baby. This is so good for tennis. It's so sad watching Mehdi have just played so badly for a year. But man, he's back. This man is scary. Hey, we got to 1,000 likes, bloody hell. Appreciate that. We're gonna stick around, because I got nowhere else to be. It's four in the morning, and we're just getting started. Man, oh man. We won't stick around too much longer, but we will stick around. Small cat, the small cat fights good. He said, we'll shoot Russian, do you think this is normal? I don't think he said that. All right, Mehdi has signed the camera and he's into the final, bloody hell. Man, we haven't had a three-setter for a minute. Where the hell are the three-set matches at, damn it. We need those third sets. All right, let's answer questions. Congrats, Mehdi. Yeah, great match for Mehdi. You think this is normal? He's a small thief who doesn't know how to fight. Nole will be losing. Well, Nole did lose. What a shock, but congrats, Mehdi. Yeah, I don't think this is so unexpected. The result, I think the score is unexpected. Maybe not the result for some, but the score line for me is totally unexpected. Didn't expect that. I expect the three sets, yeah. Love the commentary, appreciate it. Yeah, Mehdi versus Rublev, great final. Will Mehdi win another slam? I think so. Why not? I mean, this Mehdi can. 380 points, the difference at top of game on fire. Yeah, so now Djokovic, his ranking is in a little trouble. If Elkaraz plays in Indian Wells and wins, Djokovic will lose the number one ranking, I think. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the only way. If he wins Indian Wells, if he loses in the final, it won't be enough. But if he wins Indian Wells, Elkaraz will be number one. But we don't even know if Elkaraz is gonna play. Is Elkaraz? He's heard. I think that's the case, right? Maybe. Should Russians be banned from Wimbledon? No. No. Today, two predictions wrong, not your day. Mate, I'm happy to be wrong. These were, like, if you look at the head to head and you look at recent matchups, it was, I mean, it was two upsets. The betting was upsets as well. I mean, Djokovic was the favorite. Zverev was the favorite, both upsets, so in the betting. So I mean, if I get it wrong, I'm fine. I don't think it was the worst predictions. I'm just sad that we didn't get three sets. In one of them, one match would have been good to get three sets. Maybe tomorrow's fine was the three setter that we were waiting for. Small cat no more, he's a bear now, yeah. He is a bear. Mehdi needs to see a bahaba. No, I think, oh, don't think he needs to do anything different. If he's winning, don't change a thing. Nadal's ranking into Monte Carlo is probably going to be, like, 11 or 12, because he's gonna drop out of the top 10. That's confirmed. He won't be playing top 10. Oh, he won't be in the top 10. Yeah, well, it was at 126K, so thank you so much. By the way, this match, officially the biggest match since the Australian Open final. Officially the biggest match since the final of the Australian Open, so thank you for joining us. Again, massive, huge match. A lot of people were here. Most people here since the Australian Open. We had about 7,000 people. We still have 4,000 here who are sitting back and watching the post-match. So thank you for that. Appreciate it. It's ridiculous. India was final. Alcares, Medvedev would be fire. Yeah, that's what we want to see, right? We want to see Alcares play Medvedev. That's the match we want to see. That's the match I want to see in the next month. Medvedev, Alcares, let's have it. Indian Wells, Miami, don't care. I just want it. I want to see that match. Medvedev won already. Yep. Great call. Thank you. Appreciate it, Juice. Hope I did it justice. And I hope you learned something because, you know, I bought the whiteboard in. We've got the classroom now. I feel like it's a... Yeah, hopefully you learned something. Maybe I served volleys. Maybe something about tactics. Maybe something about... I don't know. I don't know. Something about something. Rubelev going to take out Mehdi. That would be pretty nuts. If Rubelev beat Medvedev, that would be... Look, I'm leaning Medvedev because I think Medvedev should win. Man. Can we watch Liveich? Is Liveich playing? Oh, he's... No, they've already started. Alcares, Runa would be fun as well. True. Alcares, Sinner would be fun. Sinner Medvedev would be fun again. Let's get that again. Even though Medvedev's won every match. But, you know, this will be fun. Rubelev won the last two matches between them. The last... Oh, yeah, he won the ATP finals, didn't he? I remember he last won... I know the Cincinnati win, but he also won one of the finals, right? The ATP finals. Coach Camp Thunder watch. I have to prove that I can... You know, that I am a tennis coach at times. I love that part of tennis. I love coaching tennis and I love that I can do it here. Hopefully... It works. You seem disappointed. I'm disappointed that we didn't get a three-set-up. Like two matches, two epics, straight sets. We got a good tiebreak in the second. Yeah, I'm disappointed that we didn't get a... Didn't get a three-set-up. But that's all right. I'm sure the tennis gods will smile on us at Indian Wells. We'll get a few there. Is Alcares better on clay or hard cords? Well, his hard cords results are probably better than his clay, but his clay cord at heart... Pretty close, though. Novak was better with injuries, yeah. Look, he played... The summary of Novak today. I think Novak... He wanted to try to serve volley, do something a little different, be a little more aggressive, and, you know, try that tactic, which I love. It's a great tactic. It works. We've seen it work. But you need to execute it. And I think once he started missing volleys, and that serve volley tennis didn't really work, he then reverted back to baseline tennis and he started making errors. So... That's the thing. Mevedev is so good at the moment and so good in general, that even if you do the tactic that he hates, if you don't do it perfect, it can come back to get you. Because he played those first four games. Djokovic was playing amazing. It's like, oh, man, this is it. But then he made a couple errors at the net. He lost the confidence at the volleys. And that was when Mevedev was like, gotcha. And then they started coming back to the baseline and then Djokovic started making errors and then Mevedev just... I'd still think the tactic's good, but I don't know if Djokovic is the guy to do it. Would Djokovic have been better just... Like, I think he served volley too much too. I think he needed a serve volley once or twice a game, not every first serve, you know? I think it was a little too much. But Mevedev served well. I mean, Mevedev was awesome. Mehdi is definitely back. For sure, Peaches, for sure. Well and truly back. Let's see if we can win three titles in a row. I mean, not many players have done that before. I think it was, what, FAA last year, Rude. Three titles in three weeks. Murray did it. Like, it's an exclusive club. The three out of three. Three for three or whatever you want to call it. The three-peat. That's a cool name. I like that name. Three-peat. Netplay is not in all A strength. He should avoid the strategy. Yeah, I don't think he should avoid it because otherwise you're just going to miss a lot of... You're going to lose a lot of... You're going to waste a lot of free points. I mean, it worked very well when it worked, but it really... When he missed that smash, he came to the net, he hit the top of the frame, smashed it into the ground. That's when the net approach was... That's when the net game wasn't... Like, he lost his confidence. And that was like a three all in the first set or two, three in the first set. So once that happened, it was like, oh, it was pretty much almost all over from there, really. It's a huge boost from Meti's confidence. Hell yeah, yeah. For sure. Who's your prediction for tomorrow? You're just going to have to watch the video. I'm going to let you wait and watch that preview. It's going to come out in probably the next hour or so. Meti reaching consecutive finals in consecutive finals is great nostalgia. It makes tennis fans happy. Well, he's only 27, so it's not like he's... He's still got five years, minimum, right? At least he's got probably five more years. It's just great to see Mehvedev confident again. He lacked so much confidence last year. And it was sad to watch him. Even at the Australian Open this year, when he played quarter, it was like, man, this Mehvedev is not the guy. This is not the guy that we knew. The guy that was strutting around after that U.S. Open and looking into the final of the AEB finals and getting to the Australian Open final and then when he lost that final in Australia last year, Mehvedev was just a shell. And he won a couple of little tournaments, but he just wasn't the same. And then he lost all these points. He came back. Last two weeks ago, one Rotterdam and he's back, baby. And now he's back. He's got his swagger back. Cam, are we watching Dimenov versus the toddler later? We might. We might, yeah. We might watch... Yeah, we might watch Acapulco semis. Who's playing? Paul Fritz, Runa, Dimenov. Yeah, we might. We'll see. We will see. Cam, you have a Mumbai clockset 30 minutes behind. I know I can't do it. I'm going to have to do it later. I can't figure it out. I know it's 30 minutes wrong. I'm going to have to change it. I can't do it. I was doing it live and I couldn't do it, probably. What do I think about Runa? I think Runa's great. It's great fun. Fun game. Nadal never lost to Mehdi. That shows Nadal caliber. Okay. Well, maybe they've made a statement after winning today. What happened to Baratini last night? I don't know what it hurt, like what the problem was or what the injury was, but he got injured. You know? He got injured somewhere. I don't know what it was, though. I'm making all the Indian people late for work. Don't look at the clock, then. Look at your phones or watches. Do I think anyone was surpassed Nole's Grand Slam record? Yeah. Nadal at the French open and then Djokovic will pass him again. Yeah. Rafa will do it at the French and then Nole will level and then, you know, we'll go from there. Who is the favorite for tomorrow's match? Mehvedev. Right. Chat. Mehvedev. Favorite for Indian Wells? Mehvedev. Al-Quraz. Sinner. Sidney Pass. Not in that order, but one of them. Those four are probably up the top. Maybe Rubelev now. Those five are probably the five favorites. Nori? Maybe Nori. I mean, Nori's won the title, right? Maybe Nori. But Mehvedev is going to be up there as the favorite, right? Fritz maybe as well. I mean Fritz, Fritz is going to be top three. Possibly. Fritz, Mehvedev, Sidney Pass. Because Sidney Pass made the Australian Open Final. I mean, we forgot about that because Mehvedev's come back. I want to see Mehvedev versus Sidney Pass with this guy. This Mehvedev. That Mehvedev versus Sidney Pass as well. We've got so many good matches now that Mehvedev's back in form. Mehvedev's never been good at Indian Wells. It's crazy that that's the case because it's such a slow court. You would have expected him to do better. But he's playing so well right now. How can you not pick him to do well at Indian Wells this year and break that bad run? Or that less than perfect results? You know, semi-final-final, if he gets a good draw, Mehdi should feel pretty confident. This Mehdi against small kids who doesn't fight good. Yeah. Man, you better shut your f**k up, okay? You said bullshit Russian. Do you think this is normal? Oh, man. This Mehdi versus in-form carry-offs will be a great matchup. That would be fun. This version of Mehvedev will beat anyone on hard courts. We'll see. Look, I think Mehvedev. Mehvedev's an interesting one because Mehvedev reminds me... He's kind of like... It's like he's having a similar season to Krajikova, right? Krajikova last week in Dubai, and it's funny they both do it in Dubai, last week in Dubai reminded us all that she is a Grand Slam champion, right? The former world number two by beating Sabalenka, who was on a streak, beating the world number one Shfiantek as well. And Mehvedev's kind of doing that now. Like, yeah, he started okay. Like the season was meh at the start of the year, but like now it's like, oh, okay. So Krajikova and Mehvedev are doing kind of the same thing. They're both sort of having the same resurgence at the moment. You know, they both might be Dubai champions, too, which would be funny. But yeah, it feels like Krajikova is reminding us all this week, or last week, that, okay, she should be taken seriously. And Mehvedev is like, oh, he's back. Like last week, probably you thought that the week before, maybe, but this week is like, oh, yeah. So I feel like we're getting... we're getting reminded that those two players won slams and they're not done yet. You know, they've got more to go. It's really interesting how that works out, how they're kind of doing the same thing. At the same event, at this event. Elkra's injury prone, Rafa never injured at Elkra's age. That's just not true. That's just wrong. Sorry, JC, that's not right. Rafa was 18 and had like terrible knees. And also Rafa in 2005 almost had to retire. The doctor said, you can't play with a bad foot. And he's like, well, I'm going to try. So Rafa didn't play 2006 Australian Openers like a 19-year-old. In fact, Rafa probably had worse injuries than Elkra's, which makes it more impressive that Rafa is where he is now. So you've got to... come on. Elkra's injury prone, but Rafa was like... I mean, Rafa was... how the hell did he... Yeah, Rafa had his biggest injuries at 19-year-old. Yeah. Yeah. He skipped the ATB too. Yeah. He skipped the tour finals in 2005. Yeah, 2006 Australian Open, yeah. But hey, it's because you get injured early. It doesn't mean you're not going to have a good career. Rafa is a testament to that. Elkra's overrated. Yeah, people say that. I don't agree. I think Elkra is one of... he's the youngest World Number One of all time. How do you... how's that guy overrated? He's the youngest player to ever be World Number One. It's hard to... I mean, calling him overrated is... that's a little harsh. Anyways, we're going to get going because I need to make videos. But... Rafa missed 13 grand slams due to injury. No, only three. Rafa despite being young. Yeah, I mean, it's crazy that Rafa is Rafa. But at the end of the day, we're going to only see the number next to their name. We're not going to see how many injuries they had. It's like... injuries... people won't remember injuries in 20 years. It'll be the number next to the slam, the number of slams, or the number of titles, or the number of wigs of World Number One. Isn't Boris Becker the youngest World Number One? No, Boris Becker was one of the youngest Grand Samp champions. He wasn't World Number One when he won Wimbledon. I think he was like World Number... like top 10, but he wasn't World Number One. World... the youngest World Number One was Leighton Hewitt. And I know that because I'm a Leighton Hewitt fan. And Elgris smashed that by almost a year. Thanks for the tutorials. No, it's squeaky. Boris was number two at 18. There you go. Thank you for the confirmation. And Michael Chang was the youngest Grand Samp champion. There you go. Yeah. Volander was also a young champion too. True. No worries, Tilly. All right, everybody. So stay tuned because we are going to be watching... Who's coming up next? What have we got next, Chad? Do we have... Who's playing next? Do we have confirmation on that? Paul versus Fritz. Paul versus Fritz. Right? All right. Fritz versus Paul. We're going to watch Jacob Polko. I mean, look, it's semi-final day. Let's keep it going. Fritz versus Paul. I feel like that. I mean, the Australian Open semi-finals versus the number five in the world, American Battle. Could be fun. I feel like we don't give enough love to players like Tommy Paul, and we don't really watch that much of Taylor Fritz. So I think it's a great... Why not? It's Saturday in my house. I don't have anything else to do. So we're going to watch that one. I'm going to send you guys over there because you can all lurk amongst yourselves. And we'll have a chat and we'll talk about it later. But we might as well watch it. It happens in about, what, six, seven, eight? Eight hours? Eight hours from now? So we've got a minute between, but I'll send you guys over there because we haven't got a three-setter. I want a three-setter. I want a three-setter. And we'll watch Diminor versus... We'll watch Diminor versus Runa as well because those guys... I think those guys could have a fun three-setter. All right. Here you go. Talk amongst yourselves. Go over there. See who gets there first. Demon country. We haven't watched Diminor in a minute. And also Runa's fun. So we'll be watching those ones too. Why the hell not? All right. Jump over there. Talk amongst yourselves. I'll see you guys later. Man, Danil Mevvedev is back, baby. In a big way, he finally beats Novak Djokovic for the first time since the U.S. Open in 2021. He gets his fifth win over Djokovic and he breaks Djokovic's streak of about 20 wins in a row. He gets the job done and gets revenge as well over that Adelaide loss back in January. And you can't say he's not back because he is killing everybody right now. 6464 Mevvedev into the final. He'll play his friend Rubelev tomorrow.
