 Welcome to the final of Indian Worlds. The women's final and then the men's final. First we start with the ladies. They are starting in about five or 10 minutes time. Sabalenka Rabakina, it's a final that we saw like a month ago, two months ago. Australian Open rematch straight up. I mean, that's, that doesn't happen very often. We don't usually get a rematch of a final of a slam and also a rematch between two champions of a slam, you know, two, two slam champions who will now Sabalenka is a champion. But we don't get that very often in finals either where we get champ versus champ. So everything's, everything's coming into place. It's really fun. Now preview, let's go through that. And then we're going to have a chat about this matchup in particular. Alina Rabakina versus Irina Sabalenka is a final for Indian Wales for 2023. And both ladies have been very impressive to get to the final stage. Rabakina started the tournament off as the number 10 seed and we're going to buy in the first round. In the second round she take on Sofia Kenan, a fellow grand slam champion. And this would be a very tough match for Rabakina getting through in straights, 7-6, 7-6. In the third round she take on 2021 champion and 21st seed Bedosa. And after a second set that was close, Rabakina would eventually get through 6-3, 7-5. In the fourth round she take on the qualified Gracheba who had just beaten Kazik Kena along the way. And this was by far the best match for Rabakina getting through in straight sets, 6-3, 6-love to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, Rabakina would take on the unseeded Mukava who had been very impressive this week. And after a close first set, this match would go down to three sets with Rabakina getting through 7-6, 2-6, 6-4 into our first semi-finals since the Australian Open. In the semi-finals, Rabakina would take on the number one seed and world number one, Egas Fiontek, a player who she had beaten only a couple of months ago in Australia. And Rabakina destroyed Fiontek in her most impressive performance of the week, 6-2, 6-2 to get to our first Indian Balls final. Sabalenka started the tournament off as the number two seed and we're going to buy in the first round. In the second round she take on Radina but this pose no problem for Sabalenka getting through in straight sets, 6-2, 6-love. In the third round, she was supposed to play Sarenko who had just beaten Vekic, the 29 seed in the previous round but Sarenko pulled out last minute and Sabalenka got a walkover win. In the fourth round, she would take on the number 16 seed Krajikova, the only player to beat Sabalenka this season. And after dropping the second set, Sabalenka would again have to fight to win the match this time winning in three, 6-3, 2-6, 6-4 to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, Sabalenka would take on the number six seed Goff and had some very close matches with Goff in the past. But this match, Sabalenka looked amazing winning easily in straight sets, 6-4, 6-love to get to the semis. In the semifinals, Sabalenka would take on the number seven seed Sakari who made the final here last year. But just like against Goff, Sabalenka was on another level getting through in straights, 6-2, 6-3 to advance to the final. These two have played four times before with Sabalenka leading the head to head four, zero but every single match that they've played has gone to three sets including the Australian Open Final only two months ago. If Rabakina is going to win this one she needs to serve well and she needs to make Sabalenka move. These players are so similar in the way they play it's pretty much the exact same keys to the match for both of Rabakina. She's going to have to make Sabalenka move from the start and get that serve working. If Sabalenka is going to win this one she also needs to make Rabakina move and serve well. It's probably going to come down to tie breaks or maybe serves in the end and who maybe double folds more but Rabakina has been very impressive despite being a slow court Sabalenka is going to have to make her run. This is a very, very interesting match up here and the four zero head to head is a little bit misleading because most of those matches in fact all of those matches gone three sets but I'm going to go with Sabalenka. She just looks so different this year compared to everybody else and she's dominated everyone she's played except for that one loss that she's had. I think she's going to get the win over Rabakina again just like she has the last four matches they've played. Let me know down in the comments below. Who do you think is going to win this one? All right there is the preview and I want to say again thank you so much everybody who has been watching the preview videos this week it's been a little bit overwhelming the amount of people have actually taken the time to comment on those videos and watch those videos, like those videos. So hey, if you enjoy them, we'll keep doing them for Miami as well. All right, so you can see there, we have. We haven't had really any good matches lately on the tour. The last couple of days it kind of been a bit straightforward. I mean the semifinals, I think the biggest thing was exciting for Fiontech against Rabakina but it was a shocking result. I think we can all say that and of course Sabalenka really didn't have to do much against Zachary, that was pretty straightforward. Let's talk about Alina Rabakina, the world number 10. She is, that'll change after this week, 23 year old from Kazakhstan, she is six foot tall, right handed, 10 wins, four losses on the year, no titles she has got three career titles including that Wimbledon as you can see the badge in the corner. She's never won a Masters 1000 tournament though as this is her first Masters 1000 final in fact. And you can see her form before this event wasn't great. She hasn't been great since the Australian Open. Injuries have been the problem but her back injury seems to have gone this week which is good. And Alina Sabalenka, she is the world number two, number 24 years old from Belarus, five foot 11, right handed, 13 wins, one loss on the year. I mean man, critically the only one to get Sabalenka. Two titles including the Australian Open, she's also won a few Masters 1000 titles. She won I think Madrid a few years ago and she's got a couple of badges there you can see. And her form as I said before Dubai was unstoppable and that Dubai blemish is the only thing keeping her from a winning streak, very big winning streak. And four zero in favor of Sabalenka. And you can see there the last match they played was that Australian Open final and in fact the last match they played was the only match where Rabakina has won the first set. Every other match it's been Sabalenka winning the first set and then eventually winning in three. So I guess the first set is gonna be crucial but then again maybe not if you're Sabalenka. It's like it doesn't really matter that much if you win the first set or not. Players are about to come out on court, things are about to get started, we're ready. We're going, we're ready. It's gonna be, it's guaranteed three sets, right? I mean this has to be three sets, it has to be. Yeah, she won Madrid back against Bardi in 21. So Sabalenka's got a 1,000 trophy, Rabakina has not. Rabakina is only going for a fourth trophy. It's kind of nuts, right? Fourth career trophy, which is crazy. Let me have a look at if Sabalenka's made any other finals. She thinks she made the final of 1,000 again or she only made, only made, only won that one. Yeah, so she won in Madrid or she also won in Dubai when that was a 1,000 event and a couple of won wins in Wuhan. Wow, okay. So she's got four Master 1,000 trophies, my bad. And she's won every single final that she's played at this level. So when she gets to the final of Master's 1,000, she wins Sabalenka. That didn't help, help your predictions. And then also, I don't think Rabakina's made a 1,000 final yet, no. She's only ever made a quarter final. In fact, this tournament being a semi-final or better is the best she's ever done at Master 1,000 level. But she has made two Grand Samp finals. So that is that. Okay, players are ready to go. We're getting ready to go. The weather looks decent, I guess. How are we chat? Answer a question! How are we? The question! No delays today. We're going straight into it. Rabakina's coming out on court as we speak. How are we chat? Are we feeling good? We're feeling fresh. Tunisia, it's 9 p.m. We're ready, good. Ashlam, all the Tunisians watching. Rabakina the fish, to slay. She's winning. The fish versus the tiger. That is what we're dealing with. The fish versus the tiger. Weird combination. Shut your fuck up, okay? You then you hit left and you don't say sorry, you think you're a new kid. I don't have to stop and you kept doing that at least to the team. Except bullshit Russian, you think this is normal? Zack! Hope your stress is gone from that horrible draw on Miami's end. Let's go Sabah the savage slaying hammer throwing queen. That's it. I see you in the tiger Sunday red mate. There we go, thank you. Zack, appreciate that mate. Yeah, no, I'm fine. It was really just annoying more than stressed. But yeah, so, yeah, Thor-Lenka, Lady Thor, whatever you want to call her. Sabah Lenka, the beast. I would like Rebecca to win, okay? Feeling super energized, excited for the finals day. Let's go! Let's go! This is the best finals we could have asked for. We're gonna find out a lot. As I mentioned yesterday, today is the day that changes the landscape in tennis for the future because whatever happened today is going to make things, we're gonna look at the WTNATB differently, which is good because it's usually one or the other or maybe neither. It's usually like goats winning or whatever. Today, if Rabakana gets to win against Sabah Lenka, that changes a lot because it means that Rabakana finally gets a win over Sabah Lenka. It means Rabakana can now, has beaten the one and two back to back. Huge, right? But if Sabah Lenka wins, it's like, okay, now it's her and Shriyantak on an island, right? Then on the men's side of things, you know, Elkraz getting the world number one back, we're trying to get that back. Mehvedev obviously trying to stay in for or stay on the streak. That's gonna change the way we look at the ATP when it happens. So today's a huge day in the tennis world. Like this, I'm not even overselling this, this is legit, like this is a massive day. Especially because we have no goats, right? This is like, this is a day we'll look back and go, remember that Indian Wells? Remember those two matches? Those two matches defined a part of tennis, of tennis's future. All right, anyone got any bets on this match? Well, we're not doing the bets for this match, we're gonna do the bets for the next one, for the final for the men, so stay tuned. We're not gonna open the betting for this one though, but for the men's final, we will. But anyone got any actual, anyone betting on this one? Anyone got any cheddar or cheese on it? Looks like we're warming up as we speak. How windy is it? That's a good question. So where are the conditions? Remember, well, yesterday Mehvedev mentioned in, well, if you watched tennis channel, he watched, Rebecca's gonna serve first. He was saying that the conditions are changing every day, and he said yesterday was perfect. And I think that's another, two days ago, I think Rebecca thought that the conditions were perfect for her there as well. So the conditions change every day. Now the wind is, the humidity is high. But that's not Indian Wells. Why are we going back to Dubai? Okay, here we go. Humidity is low. The wind, it's gonna be windy. Oh yes, it is going to be windy. Right now it's eight mile an hour winds. Tonight, probably more for Mehvedev's match, it's going to be 14 mile an hour winds. So it's gonna get windier as this match progresses into the men's match, where it's gonna be blowing all over the place. So that's gonna be, it's gonna be brutal for the men's match. Little bit inconvenient for the ladies though. It's gonna be a pain in the ass for the ladies, but it's gonna be annoying as hell for the men. Expect, people would expect Mehvedev to be angry. Expect Mehvedev to be angry. The wind is never fun. But thank you, yeah, thank you Debs for bringing that up to, bringing that to our attention. But yeah, it's gonna be, it's gonna be windy. It is not fun. Where's Wendy Malley? Yeah, where's Wendy Malley? Queen of the Winds. Hey, what's going on M's, how you doing? Glenda says, both plays are great. Yeah, this is the, like, if we didn't get Sabalinga's fiance, this is the next best thing. I'm so excited, yeah. These ladies have a good rivalry. Good little rivalry going on. Now they're playing in the big tournaments, in the big, at the latest stage of the big tournament. It's not just the, you know, we haven't just got the final of a, you know, the third round of a slam. Hundred and cable, 128 cable for the match ends. Oh, that'd be kind of cool. I really hope Alcarez comes up clutch. I'm rooting for him. Although Medi is my favorite, he's such a wall. It's such a, like, I said yesterday, it's a sledgehammer versus a brick wall. You know, who's gonna break? Is the brick wall gonna break? Or is the sledgehammer gonna break? How thick is the brick wall? You know what I mean? That analogy is one of my best ones. That's one of my better ones. I love it, I love it, because it is so true. You got the sledgehammer, the relentless, you know, relentless power of Alcarez versus that brick wall of Medi who's just getting everything back. But who's gonna crack? Are we gonna get a broken sledgehammer or a broken brick wall? That's what we find out. This is just a couple of sledgehammers. Just trying to, like, I mean, this is a heavyweight clash, right? Two big hitters, going toe to toe. Got Sabalangrin three, okay. Best match until the one, one tomorrow. Now these, it's gonna be hard for Miami to replicate this event, because these matches are so fire. It's gonna be hard for Miami to live up to this. Unless we get the same thing happening in Miami. That's the only way they're gonna live up to this. What's a better final? Chad, what is a better, what, if Miami, let's go to Miami for a second while they warm up. How could this be topped? Maybe Shriontek Sabalenka, right? Maybe, that's probably the next, the only better final. I don't think he topped, he can't top this other than that. But then on the men's side, how do you top Alcarez versus Medi, like without Djokovic? How do you top that? Like, what's a better final than that? Nothing, unless that final sucks today, and then we go, well, maybe we want to see City Pass there instead. I don't know. But like, how does Miami get better than this? I mean, in the finals, in the finals. Done a Miami in the morning, nice. Mark, do you want to record the draw for us? Ha, oh, maybe you'll be able to help us. Take a photo of the draw. Rebecca and Rodacano with the final will be better. Maybe, Alcarez, runa Miami, maybe? Okay, maybe, I guess we've got to wait for the next final to see if Medvedev Alcarez actually is a good match. We might be a terrible match, and we might be like, this is boring, Medvedev wins straight sets easy, and it's just really a lot of errors. But I don't know, I feel like these are the two best matches you could ask for at the start of the week. Besides Shriontek Sabalenka, I feel like, maybe this is the second best match of the week you could have asked for, but the men's final is like, that's the match we wanted, and that's the match we got. I mean, yeah, I think we got exactly what we wanted. Miami draw was so bad, oh, you tell me. You're telling me. I actually lost a pen in the process. Hang on a second, I got another one. RIP pen, rip the pen. But this pen doesn't have black ink, which is not ideal. So I'm gonna have to get a new pen, so I lost a pen today. All right, Chad, here we go, it's happening. Okay, it's happening. Here we go. Here we go. It's time. Rabakana to serve, who's gonna win? You tell me, I've got Sabalenka in three, as that goes out from Rabakana, love 15, as Rabakana hits it long. Okay, it's happening, the final that we want to see. It's a rematch of Australia. It's gonna be epic. It's gonna be three sets based on what they've, pardon me, been playing as Rabakana serves. No, why is that not working? No, all right, we'll get the back up. As Rabakana wins a second point, nice. And the crowd go wild. This crowd is on fire, by the way. This crowd is on fire. This crowd are feeling it already, love it. Let me just get the back up. There we go. There we go, it'll be up in a second. All right, 15 all. As we return now from Sabalenka into the back of Rabakana, Rabakana in the net. And it's 15-30, first game. It's gonna be a quick one. I'll tell you what, if it's three sets, it'll be two hours. Who wants to play chat versus cam? Anyone? Should we do cam versus chat? Or over under two hours? 15-30, as we return and a serve in the net. Second serve coming up for Rabakana. Can versus chat under, what do you reckon, chat? Yes, no, maybe. As we return now to the back end of Rabakana, backing up from Sabalenka in the net, 30 all. You reckon it's gonna be under two hours, Zach? Oh, Zach is the coach of the chat, by the way. You guys wanna correspond with Zach? You ask him. By the way, one of our favorite players, one of our newly touted players, Eva Lise. She actually won today. Woo, she won the German 118 in the world. As Sabalenka, Rabakana serves an ace, bang. Coach loves it, and he loves it. 40-30, alright, 40-30, as Rabakana serves a fault. Second serve, second serve into the back end of Sabalenka. Oh, Sabalenka with a winner, woo! Unbelievable. She smoked that back. Jesus, two minutes in and we've already had ridiculous shot-making already. Alright, lovely backhand return. What a serve now, that's a fault from Rabakana. Second serve, second serve. Rabakana goes to the back end of Sabalenka. Return goes in the back end of Rabakana. Back end of Sabalenka inside out is wide, woo! She's going for it, Sabalenka. We're not gonna have very long rallies today. This match is going to be quick. Advantage Rabakana. Years ago, every tournament was televised. Something needs to change. Yeah. Yeah. As we're going to serve down to the front of Sabalenka, Rabakana full hand, get into the front of Sabalenka, into the front of Rabakana. Sabalenka full hand again, into the front of Rabakana, into the front of Sabalenka. Rabakana full hand to full hand. That goes in the net from Rabakana. And it's back to Deuce. Back to Deuce. As we're going to serve again. Tough first game for the Wimbledon champ. As we're going to serve from Rabakana. That's a fault. Second serve. Second serve, Rabakana. Down to the back end of Sabalenka. Four and a half Rabakana. Again, to the back end of Sabalenka. Rabakana on the back foot in the net. Sabalenka is going all out attacking this first game. She's got break point. She's going nuts. Advantage Sabalenka to get the break first game. This is Sabalenka just coming out, throwing haymakers. Advantage. And Rabakana serves a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Into the back end of Sabalenka. Back end of Rabakana. Again, to the back end of Sabalenka. To the forend of Rabakana. Sabalenka smacking the ball on that back hand side. As now Rabakana pushes Sabalenka out wide and Sabalenka hits a wide. All right, Rabakana gets in control. That one. Now we're back to Deuce. Chat, how good is this final? How good is this final? How good is this final? Man. This is, it feels like the Australian Open. Just with a green court. As we deserve our wide, the forehand of Sabalenka. Good return of Rabakana down the line. Woo! This is gonna be our finish to you. All right. Wimbledon champ steps up. Advantage to Rabakana. Huge forehand on the stretch. Both ladies already hitting winners. And look, Rabakana's not far away from, she'll be number three in the world eventually. She deserves to be. She's the third best player on the planet. And we go back into backhand rally. Sabalenka into the backhand of Rabakana. And Rabakana in the net again. Sabalenka hitting a deep inside the baseline. Well, we're gonna go to the power rankings. Power rankings will update for Miami. So we will have an updated power rankings for Miami because things have changed. Things have definitely changed in the last couple of weeks. Yeah, Wimbledon champ versus Aussie champ. That's it. We get a fault from Rabakana. And may I just say something, and I know we're never gonna get it, but can you imagine if we put Barty in the mix? This sprinkled Barty into this mix. How crazy would that have been? We did get Barty Sabalenka for a while as that goes out in the return from Sabalenka. We actually watched Barty Rabakana back in 2020, I think. The Australian Open. So I haven't seen that. Go check that out. Oh yeah, this is a heavyweight class for sure. This is a couple of big hitters hitting big. Serve out wide, the back in the Sabalenka slice goes out and that's a huge game. First game of the match. Rabakana takes it, but man, that was a long game. A lot of do's points. And it's one-zero to Rabakana. Now, we're gonna play over under, actually some cam versus chat in just a second. And it's gonna be over under two hours. That is what we're gonna have. Now, let me just give you some context before we take it to the votes. These two players have played four times before. They've all been three-setters. So if that doesn't tell you that, that doesn't tell you something. But have they been all over three hours because you can play three sets in an hour and a half? Let me have a look. So Rabakana and Sabalenka. They played four times. The Australian Open match was two and a half hours. They played, ooh, okay. So the Australian Open match was two and a half hours. But every other match, sub two hours. An hour 50, an hour 58, an hour 41. Sabalenka gets smoked on the return. Rabakana goes bang, love 15. Jesus. So we're gonna play over under at two hours, cam versus chat. And if you guys get to make your choice and I'll pick the opposite. So if you think of this match as going over two hours, then that's what you'll pick. As we return now to the back of Sabalenka, Sabalenka smokes it down the line. Man, how many winners are we gonna get? Okay. All right, if this match goes over two hours, then pick yes. If it goes under two hours, then pick no. Here we go. You guys pick majority rules. I pick the opposite. And we find out who wins at the end. Five gifted subs on the line. Our members on the line if you want. And maybe we'll sprinkle some points in there as well for those who are already members. But make your votes. Chat versus cam. If you don't know, I'm winning. I'm three two up against the chat. And to be honest, this could go either way. It could go two hours. It could go under two hours. So the way this match has already started is with a slice return. That goes out from Rabakana though with a backhand and it's 30, 15. So this could go either way. I feel like the votes are gonna be pretty close in this one. It's gonna come down the wire. So vote over under is gonna go over two hours. Yes or no. Chat get the decide and I pick the opposite. So I'll pick the least voted for. Remember they've played four matches as Sabalinga says in Ace Bank. They've played four matches. Three of those have gone under two hours. One has gone over two hours. And that one is trying to be a final one. One for two and a half hours. So over two hours. Yes, no, you vote. And the next change of ends we're gonna shut the votes. And I'm gonna pick, you're gonna pick your pick. You're gonna make your pick. And I'm gonna make mine by your opposite pick. 40, 15. As we return now. Oh, another winner from Rabakana. Woo! Man, Rabakana is smoking some of these returns. Just showing Sabalinga, hey, you're not the only one who can get a big return. Better make those serves. 40, 30. Ridiculous. 40, 30. First serve is a fault. First serve is a fault. Second serve. By the way, chat's going with yes, it's gonna be over two hours. Interesting. Interesting, interesting. 40, 30. Second serve, double fault, man. That was a massive second serve. And you know that that was a massive second serve because of what happened in the previous point. Sabalinga was like, you ain't getting a return winner off me on this serve because I'm gonna double fault instead. I'm gonna give you the point instead by double folding. Okay, Sabalinga, a deuce in her game. We've had a couple of tough games and then she serves an ace. That's what Sabalinga's done so differently this year. She usually, last year she would hit an ace and then three double faults. Now she's hitting a double fault, returns it with an ace straight up. Cancels out those memories straight away. Advantage, Sabalinga to level things up. She serves to the back end, that's a, that is a let. Advantage, Sabalinga to level things up here. It's already 12 minutes, so vote. As we return now in the back end of Sabalinga, back end of Fromri, back end of Sabalinga, get into the back end of Sabalinga, into the back end of Rabakana. Sabalinga with the forehand on the stretch, goes in the net, we're back to deuce. So what we'll do is at the end of this game, because this game's taking forever, at the end of this game, we're gonna shut the votes. So if you think it's gonna go over two hours, vote yes, if you think it's gonna go under two hours, vote no, whatever the chat votes majority, I mean, that's what chat pick. And I picked the opposite over a cam versus chat over under two hours today. That's the prediction. As we return now, that goes wide, good serve, very good serve from Sabalinga. Well, I thank you, Anthony, for becoming a member, appreciate that, welcome. Sabalinga to level things up here in the first, but man, what a final. So far, they've just come out swinging. Serving the back end of Rabakana, goes into the forehand of Sabalinga, who smokes a winner and it's one-one. But this is the final that we came to see. All right, chat, you have said yes, it will be over two hours. Okay, I'm going with no, you're going with yes. If it goes over two hours, chat wins. If it goes under two hours, I will win. So far, I think chat has made an interesting choice, a good choice. Kind of lie, I think the over is likely because we think it's gone three sets, right? As we return now, the back end of Rabakana, back end up from Sabalinga, slice into the forehand of Rabakana, again to the forehand of Sabalinga, forehand of Rabakana, again to the forehand of Sabalinga, into the forehand of Rabakana, Sabalinga back end, cross court is good, very good, man, Sabalinga. On the ground stroke, Sabalinga's winning the points. Return of serve on the second serve of Sabalinga, Rabakana's looked good, but man, when it gets in the rally, it's Sabalinga. Love 15, huge backhand there from Sabalinga again. All right, Sabalinga with a serve. Sorry, Rabakana with a serve, that's a fault. Second serve, second serve. Now why the back end of Sabalinga, the good return, Rabakana gets it, back end of Sabalinga, cross court, Rabakana there with her own backhand, slice Sabalinga in the net. Sabalinga changed it up and it didn't work, 15 all, yeah, Sabalinga's ground stroke is a lightning bolt. Yeah, by the way, remember it's 300 likes, thank you for that, appreciate it. 15 all, serve down the tee, great serve, bang. There's an ace, maybe we should have gone hoogs in the serve more aces. 30-15, 30-15, and Rabakana serves again, out wide, that's a fault. Second serve, first two games, been both Deuce games, taken a while. The serve now, the back end of Rabakana, going into the four end of Sabalinga, four end of Rabakana, into the four end of Sabalinga, Rabakana, four end of the stretch, Sabalinga, back end cross court is, oh, it's just out. Woo, Sabalinga thought it was in, it just missed. And the way she's been playing, no wonder she thought that was in. Huge, huge back end, just missed. 40-15, for Rabakana to get back the lead, to get back the lead, serve out wide, the four end of Sabalinga, great return again, Rabakana just pushes it down the line, another four end of the net from Rabakana, Sabalinga is just too powerful. Now 40-30, by the way, Chad, is this the biggest Indian Wells final we've had in a long time for the ladies? I feel like, we haven't watched a couple of Indian Wells finals, but I feel like in terms of hype, like Fiontech Zachary was like, okay, cool, that's interesting last year, but this one feels like the build up, it's like, because of the fact they played this round of the final, this feels like such a massive, it is a massive match, but it feels like it's getting the hype behind it too. As for Rabakana returning out of the back end, over Rabakana and Rabakana in the net, Sabalinga again, hitting the line. Doce, because in 2019 it was Kerber on rescue, maybe on rescue having that dream run was maybe a bit pretty hyped as well, right? Probably the most since 2019. Because yeah, the final between Bianca and Kerber was huge because of the on rescue story. Kind of like Rado Khanna with the US Open, right? It was on rescue, on rescue did it first at the Indian Wells. Ace to the tee, third game, third doce, by the way. Advantage Rabakana, Advantage Rabakana. As we're disturbed now, we get a return to the 400 Rabakana, 400 Rabakana from Sabalinga goes wide, two, one Rabakana, but again, three games, three doce. Chat might be feeling pretty good about themselves with that over, you might be feeling all right. Yeah, the whole drama queen saga, that's it. Yeah, Kerber saying that on rescue is a drama queen, but we all know that's not true. All right, all right, let's answer the questions. Answer the question, the question! Oh, a jet's flying over, crazy. Hey, be honest. Thank you, BA tennis for the donation, appreciate that. Now, you guys are the best in Spanish, you guys kicking ass, mate, so appreciate the love. Go check out BA tennis, they'll be live for the Elcores Mevedev final. If you speak Spanish, you'll love their energy. Does it look like rain? It's supposed to rain this afternoon. Well, it's gonna be windy later. Don't know about rain, but we have got the weather, if we need it, we can do it. We can do it, we can do it. We can do it, we can do it. But we have got the weather, if we need. So you guys know that we cover more than just tennis. We cover the weather. There might, there's a slight chance of rain later in the day, but maybe an inconvenience, instead of a delay. Sabla Geren II, she's a monster, okay? Oh, there you go, BA tennis in the chat. Oh, how are you doing? What else we got? What reasons make a court a hard court fast or some slow? It's the way they create the court. So the way they mix the mixture for the concrete of the court. That's how courts are fast or slow, depending on how they make the concrete for the court. At least that's the main reason. They make this with a little more grit. By like high wind warning coming up for Indian Wells, looking at the weather now. High wind warning. Stay tuned, chat. Things might get a little hairy as we're before and now from Rebakina. That's a good shot, but Sabla, I guess, is right. Up goes a lob and Rebakina puts away the swinging volley, love 15. Men's match is gonna be in a, maybe not as bad as the last year. Remember how we had that like sandstorm? You know that, d-d-d-d-d-d-d, you know what I'm saying? Shit joke. But we do have, there is rain around. Not gonna lie, but is it gonna hit us? Maybe the men's match, like I said. Maybe an inconvenience. Love 15. As we deserve to the find of Rebakina, Rebakina in the net, good serve. Such a great matchup, yeah. They're so, like, because they're so similar. You know, it cancels each other out. Like their weapons are both the same. So like, you hit an ace, I'll hit an ace. You hit an error, I'll hit an error. Like they're so evenly matched. It's, I mean, three tie breaks, right? Just get to the tie break. Has been a big serve down the tee from Sabalenka, 30-15. I mean, we want it, we just want to get to the tie break. But then again, I don't want to get there now because I want to enjoy getting to the tie break. The mafia from BA tennis protect Cam. Ha ha, we got, hey look. Tennis talk mafia are also, we protect BA tennis. We got each other's backs, for sure. 30-15. Cam, your hair is quite lovely today. That's funny because I like literally woke up like this. Feel like I look like trash today. Look, this is what happens. I grow this hideous dead cat on my face and I don't wash my hair. That's what I look like. I look homeless by the end of the tournaments because I just don't have time. 30-ulp. Double fault from Sabalenka. That's a second. Big serve coming up. I'm going to serve now down the tee. That's a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Seconds. Oh, she's double-folded again. The double-double fault. Now, Sabalenka hasn't done that much this year but that is because Rebecca is serve. A return, sorry, is so scary. That's why Sabalenka double-folds there. 30-40 with a break point first time against Sabalenka. 30-40 is there's a guy with a Hawaiian shirt and a cane. And that is a badass move. Serves a fault again from Sabalenka. Oh, second serve. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Second serve is good to the front of Rebecca and a return goes out. Good second serve from Sabalenka. Back to Deuce. Back to Deuce. Is the draw for Miami available? The women's draw but the men's draw comes out tomorrow. That's a good serve. Down the tee, great serve. Return goes in though for Sabalenka to the front of Rebecca. Rebecca back in the rally. Is we had a four-on-four rally. Sabalenka just struggling in the moment and hits it out. Rebecca getting on top of that rally. Advantage Rebecca up. Rebecca queen up. I like that, that's a good one. I like that's a good one. Rebecca queen up. Advantage Rebecca up. Serve into the four-on-four back in up. Back in up from Sabalenka, Rebecca in the rally. With a four-on inside out, Sabalenka in trouble with a slice into the four-on-four back in up. Four-on-four from Sabalenka. Into the back in up, Rebecca in up. To the back in up, Sabalenka down the line and Sabalenka smokes a winner. Down the line, Sabalenka. Back to Deuce. This has been four games of Deuce points but man, there have been some huge shots. This is a huge hitting match. And Rebecca is pointing going, I should have hit it over there. Back to Deuce, this is massive. The way these two are playing, ridiculous. As we're serving the net, second serve. I mean, it is a clash. Massive clash of the Titans. Eventually, Rebecca will be number one, will be number in the top three. Like surely, right? Eventually it will happen. Serve out wide the four-on-four back in up. Smokes the return and Sabalenka can't handle the heat. In the net from Sabalenka. Another break point for Rebecca in up. Chat looking good right now. The take in the over, huh? Well, I'm not gonna get, I'm not nervous yet. Hey, what's going on in quality shot? How you doing, man? Given the start of this match, who wins here, do you think? I'm still going on Sabalenka in three. That was my pick. I'm sticking to that. Serve now the four-on-four back in the net. Good serve, Sabalenka. Jesus. This is crazy. Cool gates in the house. All right. Deuce. Bracken is quite similar like Sabalenka, but a little more sophisticated. I think the difference between these two is emotions. I think it's emotional, you know? Mentally as well, maybe a little bit, but emotionally for sure. That's the big difference. But shot-making, like shot-for-shot, they're pretty much on point. As we're gonna find our winner from Sabalenka. The big serving and the big ground strokes, they've both got him. They both move. I would say Sabalenka is a little bit better at moving around the court. A little bit more, has a little bit better movement than Rabakina. But mentally, I would say that Rabakina is much more solid there. So again, shot-for-shot, they're exactly the same, but then those slight differences, kind of even itself out. Sabalenka's got the movement. Rabakina's got the emotions. And then also the mentality. And they kind of cancel each other out. And it's all, it's so close. As it is served now, the backhand of Rabakina, backhand from Sabalenka was a winner down the line again. Wow! Sabalenka's backhand, it's not even a sniper. It's like a bazooka with a scope on top. It's crazy. It's like pinpoint, but a massive explosion. Like that's what that is. Huge backhand down the line, but right in the corner. Man. Two-two. Let's see what Rabakina's got. We've had three games, four games worth of deuce. No breaks yet, but we have got break points. As that goes in the net from Sabalenka on the return, like a guided missile. Yeah, exactly. It's crazy. It's just such a powerful, accurate shot today. 15 love. We're just serving the net. Is anybody gonna get an easy game? That is the question. Who is going to win an easy service game? Serve goes in the corner, Sabalenka returns the backhand of Rabakina. Backhand of Sabalenka, but Rabakina hits it out. A little bit of over-hitting there from Rabakina. Bill Gates is everywhere. Yeah, that dude just follows the tennis. Maybe he's in the Netflix show, I don't know. Maybe he is Netflix, I don't know. You do see him. He's literally been Australian Open. He's gone all into your Wells. Maybe he watched Break Point. He's like, I want to follow them. Who knows? By the way, can I just say that my team is on top of the table? Go, Essendon. Greg's knows. Me and Greg's are in the Discord. I haven't heaped a fun yesterday. I was going to slice there into the net from Rabakina, 1530. We're on top, baby. We're number one. And by the way, the reason I wear this red shirt is because these are the colors of my team. True story. So, red and black. Let's go. 1530. Hashtag bombers, that's it. Hashtag Essendon bombers. Let's go. Is it a serve? An ace. All right, bang. Another tough game though. 30 all, another close game. 30 all. What team is my team? My Aussie rules team is Essendon. Is it a serve? Into the back end of Sabalenka. Back end of Rabakina. Into the back end of Sabalenka. Rabakina back end. Again, into the back end of Sabalenka. Down the line. That's a great shot. Rabakina gets it with a lob. It goes in. Sabalenka forehand is good. But Rabakina is there with her own forehand. Sabalenka with a slice now. Into the back end of Rabakina. Sabalenka on the stretch. Rabakina with a control. Goes down the line. Sabalenka with a pass. Rabakina volleys. And it goes wide. What a rally. What a rally. 30-40. Another break point for Sabalenka now. Been a great start to the AFL season. Oh, DJ, how good. All the matches were awesome. Who does that got in this one? I don't know. He's in the chat. You can ask him. Oh, we ask him. All right. 30-40. Another break point. Another chance. Need to get a red shirt because my account's in the red. Good return there for Sabalenka, but Rabakina smokes. No, Sabalenka guesses right with a lob. No way. No way. Sabalenka breaks. Rabakina just got caught. She know where she was. She hit the forehand straight to Sabalenka. Sabalenka went with a lob. And Rabakina looked up and was like, where'd it go? Sabalenka breaks. What a start. Three-two. Got a little lucky Sabalenka, but she'll take that. Crazy. And Rabakina, the cardinal sin of smashes. You don't turn your back on the net. When you get lobbed, you don't, as soon as you turn your back, you lose the ball. You lose the sense of court. You got to just, as soon as the lob goes up, you got to sidestep back. Keep your eye on the ball. Simple stuff. And as soon as she turned around, she didn't know where the ball was. She's like, uh-oh. Turn your back to the ball, or you're going to lose it. Sabalenka is a different beast today. I mean, both ladies are playing solid, but Sabalenka just, I mean, she's just hitting everything in. So hard going in. We'll be great if Rabakina breaks straight back. Hey, look. First three, five games, all being close. And we've had a break points in multiple games. So it's not over. Not over yet. Okay. But what a final. This is why this final's been so hyped, and it's living up to that. It's living up to the hype. Shrionsek Rabakina in the same quarter in Miami. Yeah, they are. Yes, they are. Rabakina's movement being taken advantage of a bit here. Yeah. I guess, yeah. Definitely the movement is better for Sabalenka. She looks a lot better. When against most players, Sabalenka looks slower than everyone else. But today, you know, against Rabakina, she has that little advantage. As we look over to turn out, serve out wide to the four now of Sabalenka down the line. Rabakina moving a lot. As Sabalenka comes into the smash. Oh, and hits it in. Sabalenka almost hit that in, like hit that out somehow. What's my prediction for Rotakina on Drescu? Fun. Fire. 15 love. We're in Australia, am I? I mean, Melbourne. 32 minutes in, serve now Sabalenka. She's got the break, she serves. The front of Rabakina, front of Sabalenka. Again to the front of Rabakina. Rabakina over hits it. 30 love. Rabakina getting a little frustrated as well. A little annoyed, hitting the ball on the ground. When she does, with Rabakina, it's a little emotions. When she shows little signs of frustration, it's almost like a Rube level explosion. But a micro explosion. When she hits the ball on the ground, you can tell, like, oh, okay, she's pissed. Just those little things. 30 love. And Sabalenka serves. Out wide the front of Rabakina, front of Sabalenka, but Rabakina hits it out. 40 love, easiest game of the match so far. 40 love. Serve now from Sabalenka. That's a fault. Second serve. 33 minutes into this one. To get to 4-2, Sabalenka. She serves at wide double fault. Now she's hitting a lot of double faults. We'll talk about why that is. At the next change events, we'll go to school. Because there's something we gotta cover. I know it's Sunday, but just, it's tennis school and tennis school is fun, right? 40-15, Sabalenka serves. Down to see the backhand of Rabakina. Rabakina hits it out. Let's go to school for a second. Let's go to school. Okay, so the reason why Sabalenka has already hit four double faults is not because she's playing it serving badly. It's not because of anything that she's doing. It's because of the returning of Rabakina. So first serve. Let's imagine Serena is Sabalenka because they are very similar in the way they play. But first serve is a fault, right? Fault. Second serve, Rabakina goes from standing here to standing here. And if you got someone standing on the baseline, it makes everything feel smaller. It makes the service box feel a lot smaller. So that is why she's already hit four double faults for Sabalenka, not because she's bad serving, it's because of the pressure. And it makes everything, I mean, it's really hard to even hit an out wide serve because you can cut it off. So it's really that pressure of Rabakina that is causing these double faults not because Sabalenka's a bad server. All right, that's enough. All right, recess, go have lunch. All right, 15 love. By the way, shout out to whoever mentioned getting the sound effect. I did that for you. You know who you are. I don't know who you are. I don't remember who it was, but you know. Yeah, make sure you write that down. All right, 15 love. So the four one that goes out from Sabalenka, 30 love. Class dismissed, exactly. Class dismissed. We'll be back again maybe later in the match or maybe later today, depending on what happens with the men's match. All right, 30 love. As we get a serve down the tee, that's a fault. Second serve. Give me something to ride on, man. That is one of the best Van Halen songs ever. Not gonna lie. Hope for teacher. That song, that is the song. Might be my favorite Van Halen song, 30 love. And we're gonna serve now the four end of Sabalenka. Four end, we're back into the four end of Sabalenka to the back end of Rabakina. Back into back end as Rabakina now with the four end comes the net, but hits the winner anyway. Doesn't need to hit a volley. Great approach, 40 love. Easiest game in the match so far for Rabakina. The tension for Sabalenka, too many double faults. No, no, no, that's why we're here. No detention, just gotta learn. I feel like Sabalenka will be the type of person to skip class though. She would definitely skip class. Seems like the kind of person that she'd be skipping the classes. Anyways, good back end down the line from Rabakina as she gets back on the board. It's only one break is served, four, three. First set with the break for Sabalenka. Beautiful drawing, thank you. I went into a lot of debt to be able to draw that well so I'm glad that you guys appreciate my art. Funny but true. All right, I was asking some questions. Serena and Karen Williams School of Tennis. I don't think we can call it the Serena School of Tennis but the Williams Academy, can we call it that? The Williams School of Tennis. Under two hours for short, chat took an L today. Zach, all right. Look, if it's a set and a breakdown and we're only an hour and a half in then maybe chat can start sweating but I'm not celebrating yet. Boss Cam, follow up question, previous question. How come Elena's form has a red dot next in the second next to it? Because she lost. So the form is not based on this up until today. It's based on before the event. So everything on this screen, everything, and I've said this before and maybe I'm gonna have to take it off because it's getting a little confusing but everything on this card is before Indian Wells. 13 and one is before Indian Wells. Form guide before Indian Wells. So she lost before Indian Wells, Sabalenka but she won four out of the five and we're back in the same thing. She lost before Indian Wells in Dubai but she did win three of those five. So don't, so yeah. Otherwise, if I have to update it every day I won't be able to stream. I'll just be doing graphics all day. So that's why we don't update them daily. We'd update them weekly just to make it easier for me and less work. So I can do other things like make the preview videos and do some fun stuff. All right, back in return. There goes the form of Sabalenka. Volley from Rabakina. That's a good shot. Sabalenka can't get it. All right, Rabakina with the volley. Love 15. Cam, you genuinely sounded like a teacher for two minutes. Well, I'm a tennis teacher. I'm a tennis coach. So it's probably just that coming out. All right, good drop volley from Rabakina. Teacher, Sabalenka, why didn't you attend class? She just starts grunting, okay. First serve is a fault. Take a serve. Love 15. We have had break points against Sabalenka's serve but we haven't had a break yet. There haven't been chances though. First serve is a fault from Sabalenka. Second serve. Now remember class. Remember what I just said on the whiteboard. We went to the whiteboard of truth. What do I just say? Let's see if it works on this one. Rabakina steps in. Sabalenka's second serve is good. Into the four now of Sabalenka on the return. Sliced everywhere Rabakina goes long. Now what Sabalenka did really well there is she hit a big second serve. So that's another reason why not just because of the returning position of Rabakina that's spooking out Sabalenka on the double faults but also she's trying to hit the ball harder on the second serve to kind of be like, push Rabakina back. If you're gonna stand that cause I'm gonna hit it harder. And that's what, and I get into that thing when I play tennis I do that too. If I see someone step in on my second serve I'm like, what are you doing stepping in? I'm gonna hit it even harder now. And then you double fault. Cause you're trying to like ego takes over, right? 15-0. Sabalenka double faults, that was a, another one. Again, double faults. I don't think she's hit this many double faults in a match all year. Not at this stage of a match. Five double faults already. I mean, this is Sabalenka 20-22 serve. Down to say the four on Rabakina, good serve, 30-0. That's because, it's because of that second serve return she's scared of. But also she's trying to hit, over hit the second serve at times. To just kind of scare Rabakina into standing that close but it's not working. As with a fault from Rabakina, Sabalenka again. All right, this is it. Rabakina with a second serve return, ready to go. Here we go. 30-0, second serve is into the back of Rabakina. What a return! That's why she keeps hitting it harder. Because of those returns, 30-40. Those are the returns that Sabalenka's scared of. That's why she's hit that five double faults in the first, what, seven games. And that is why 30-40 breakback point needs a first serve Sabalenka. And she doesn't get it. Second serve, second serve. You know what I would love? I would love for Rabakina to bait Sabalenka by standing back now. That would be such a head for Kina. As with a serve, double fault again and that is because of the returns. Sabalenka over hits it. Let's go to school for a second. I want to show you something else. Let's go to school for one sec. Sorry, I know it's recess. So, second serves. If Sabalenka was hitting them in the net, on the second serve, you would say that she was nervous and like trying to tap it in and maybe playing safe. But the thing she's doing is the second serves are going out like this. They're going out of the, they're going out in this area. And that's because she's trying to push Rabakina back. She has hit a couple of good serves here, but she's over hitting the second serve because she's trying too hard to hit the ball of power. And also she doesn't want to give away that second serve return and gets smoked. And Sabalenka hits a return passing shot winner. This is going to be our thing. Jesus. Some of these points, some of these points. Love 15. So yeah, so that's why she's over, she's, most of these double faults, I would say probably five out of the six have been second serves that have gone out. She's trying to hit the ball too hard. Okay. And that's because Rabakina is getting in her head. Love 15. Serving to the back of Sabalenka, Sabalenka hits it out. 15 all, class dismissed. That's it. 15 all. That's been a serve now from Rabakina. Can she get back the lead? That is the question. And she serves an ace Rabakina. Woo. Bang. Huge ace out wide. And Rabakina's serve is actually not as good as Sabalenka, but the thing is, Rabakina's not as, I guess, scared of Sabalenka's returns as what Sabalenka has been of Rabakina's returns. So I'd say the returning goes to Rabakina at this stage. The serving, Sabalenka's still serving better on the first serve as she hits that in the net, 40-15. But yeah, I think Rabakina is winning the return game for sure, because she's also getting in Sabalenka's head. Remember, tennis is not all just about forehands and backhands, it's also about mind games. And if you hit a big return, even if you hit a big return, it goes out. It still sends a message to your opponent of, hey, you better hit this second serve good. As for the backhand, if one return, that's a good return there from Sabalenka. Woo, 40-30. I'll still, I'll still with my over bed, okay? Well, hey look, there's gonna be a tie break, I'm sure. One tie break in this match, surely a tie break, right? All right, 40-30, Rabakina. She was down 4-2, she's about to go back up. She serves a fault, second serve. She's trying to go up 4-3, I'm sorry, 5-4. Second serve, into the front of Sabalenka, return goes into the front of Rabakina. Slice forehand from Sabalenka, weird shot, but effective. As she goes with the backhand down the line, Rabakina gets it, backhand out, cross court. Rabakina gets it with the slice, Sabalenka forehand, open court, Rabakina with a lob, Sabalenka with a smash. Rabakina gets it with another lob, smash with again from Sabalenka, bounce, and puts it away, and it's deuce. This is a huge final. Pretty big crowd, not a full crowd, but a big crowd. I don't know why, I mean, there should be more people there for sure, but nice from Sabalenka. By the way, there was a shot there where I think Rabakina should have gone for the winner. She got there in time and she hit a lob and that gave away the point. She should have just smoked a forehand and see what happens. Instead of, she was a little defensive on that with one of those shots. Maybe she got there and she thought, well, I didn't think I was going to get there in time. And I deuce here as we get a serve now, second serve now. Let's see if Sabalenka can give back the medicine. Second serve goes to the backhand of Sabalenka, backhand of Rabakina, into the backhand of Sabalenka, again the backhand of Rabakina, backhand of Sabalenka in the net. Sabalenka's not getting the same power that Rabakina is getting on the returns for whatever reason. Maybe she's playing a little safer. She's not hitting the balls deep. I mean, that's the thing. Rabakina is smoking the returns. By the way, that guy in the sunglass, that guy, that guy's a mood. Hugo Boss shirt, 80s glasses, like 80s retro, you know what I'm saying? You know those 80s sunglasses? Fluoro colored, that guy's a vibe. I want to be him when I'm older. Indian Wells is sitting back. My Hugo Boss shirt. Serve goes to the front of Sabalenka, good return to the slice of Sabalenka, find out from Rabakina goes to the sky, in with a bit of a weird spin. Sabalenka gets it, backhand Rabakina goes wide, and we're back to deuce. Now they're not wayfarers, they're not aviators. They're like the, what are they called? Somebody in the chat would know. You know like those ones with the blue lenses? They got a blue lens? Well, they got like a, they're not a blue blocker. They're, you know what I'm saying? Somebody knows. Yeah, like visor glasses. Yeah, visor sun, kind of like that, yeah. They're really popular these days. They're coming back. They're not Ray-Bans, no, no, no, they're too cool. All right, deuce, this is a huge game. We're served down to the backhand of Sabalenka, backhand of Rabakina, again to the backhand of Sabalenka, into the forehand of Rabakina, forehand from Sabalenka, again to the forehand of Rabakina, into the forehand of Sabalenka, we're backhand of forehand of forehand, as we're at a forehand down the line from Sabalenka, is that in? It's, it is in. This is gonna be a big- Huge forehand down the line. Oh man. In, like just in, side of the baseline. Huge from Sabalenka on the stretch. Now a breakback point to get that lead again. Both these ladies are playing, this is, this feels more better than the Australian Open. This feels like a better quality match. I don't know why, maybe it's because it's more hyped and I'm just more excited, but man, this feels like they're playing so much better as Sabalenka in the net. It feels like such a better quality match. Maybe it's because the Australian Open, we didn't expect it. This, we're like, we expect this to be epic and it is, and it's exciting. The feels bigger than the Australian Open or more exciting than the Australian Open. And maybe that's just me. Maybe I'm just fine. Maybe it's just me. I'm just getting a little excited. All right, doce. So about why the forehand of Sabalenka returning the net. Good serve for Bakkenau to get back the lead. Advantage for Bakkenau. Now remember chat, they've only ever played an over two hours once and that was back in January. They played three times for Bakkenau the first set in the Australian Open and that's the only time she's ever won the first set of this matchup out of four meetings. Is it a serve out wide? That's a fault. Second serve, second serve into the back end of Sabalenka who shanks it long and that was an easy game for Bakkenau in the end. Those two points that she won, just a couple of good serves, good enough. But Sabalenka is really struggling to take advantage of the second serve for Bakkenau. Unlike Bakkenau who's taking advantage and also getting inside the head of Sabalenka. So when they played back in Australia, let me see if we can find some stats. In that match in the first set, we had 11 winners, 12 unforced errors from Sabalenka, seven winners, seven errors from Rebakkenau. This does feel like we've got way more winners than errors in this first set. Overall in the match, 29 winners, 27 errors from Rebakkenau, 49 winners and 31 errors from Sabalenka. But the first set Sabalenka didn't play that well compared to the rest. In the second set, Sabalenka went off with 21 winners. So I feel like this is a better quality match. Also Sabalenka double-folded a lot in the first set of the Australian Open. So I guess that's happening too. But it does feel better, like this is a better, a more intense start maybe. I don't know. The question! The question! Sabalenka seems more emotional. She does. She's definitely a lot, she's less steady. Okay. Long games, definitely more than two hour match. But not easy for either. Can tell who will win. Well the thing is, I'll tell you this chat. Despite the fact that these two players have some of the biggest serves, the biggest serves on tour, we've never had a tie break in this matchup. They've played 12 sets. We've only ever had six four. We've never ever had a tie break or seven five. So let's see if we get to our first tie break between these two. Or if Sabalenka, who is struggling on serve, is gonna give the six four set away. All right, five four, second serve Sabalenka. Second serve. He's into the back end of Rabakana. And the return goes wide from Rabakana. See rather than hitting a big second serve, Sabalenka should hit a body serve on the second serve. Cause that way it'll cramp Rabakana up a little bit. And that way Rabakana won't be able to hit the winners because she'll hit it like this. You can't really do much when you're hitting the ball from your torso. All right, Sabalenka with another fault. Second serve. If you hit the ball hard, or you try to hit the ball hard, you might lose the point. Might double fault like she has been. Second serve. Into the back end of Rabakana. Back end of Sabalenka is a winner. Now there's another good second serve. A little bit more of a kick there. Also Rabakana just a bit of a slip over there. She tries to change direction. 30 love. And Sabalenka Rabakana just having a little bit of a slip. She's all right though. She'll be all right. Serve. Down to the back end of Rabakana. Good first serve. 40 love. What's that tie break record this year? We'll get to it. By the way, pink back in the house. Today she is wearing not tennis outfits. She's wearing just normal clothes, dressed up clothes. Is it a four on down the line at the back end of Sabalenka? Rabakana on the stretch goes in the net. Five five. We are in uncharted territory chat. We have never had these two players go to five all in a match. They've played 11, 13 sets and this is the first time it's at five five. Never played a tie break either. Notice how I'm not saying anything. But they haven't, I'm just saying that but I'm not going to say anything else. Five all. Has to be the serve. From Rabakana. They've both broken each other multiple, once each. But we've also had a lot of chances at deuces and 30 all and even break point chances. Serve is an ace. Bang. 15 love. Rabakana with a good serve. Now remember the Australian open match. Rabakana won the first set six four. Every other match they played it was Sabalenka who won the first. The result didn't change. Sabalenka's won every match but still something to think about. Alright, Rabakana with a second serve. Now why the back end of Sabalenka. Back end of Rabakana goes wide. Good return from Sabalenka. 15 all. Rabakana's coach, vocal as expected. As always, as we deserve. That's a fault down the line. Second serve. Second serve. By the way, we're almost at 500 likes as well. Thank you for that. As we deserve down to the back end of Sabalenka. Ooh, Sabalenka hits it out. Justin, Sabalenka's getting a little chirpy. She's getting a little chatty. 30, 15. Also the wind's starting to pick up. The men's match is gonna be played in windy conditions, starting to pick up. Cam helped me. I'm sorry, I can't help you. I'm busy. Are you okay? Someone maybe call the police. If you need help, call 911. 30, 15. Second serve. Into the front of Sabalenka. Return goes in the back end of Rabakana. Front of Sabalenka is good, not in the net. We're gonna go back to school because Sabalenka just did something that Rabakana has not been doing on the return of serves. We'll go to school after this. 40, 15. 40, 15. To get the six-five game and maybe play a tie break, depending on Sabalenka. Serve out wide the front of Sabalenka. Sabalenka hits it out. Let's go to school. All right, we're back from lunch. Okay, so what Rabakana's been doing so well so far today, chat, is that she has been returning the second serves, forcing Sabalenka to hit double false because she's scared. Sabalenka has also got a great return, but the problem is she's not returning the same. So, you're the server. Here's the returner. Rabakana's going like this, bang, bang. Sabalenka's gonna be in the blue. Sabalenka, she's standing here also, but she's going like this. What's the difference, chat? Anybody? Anybody? Who knows? What is the answer? What is Sabalenka doing that Rabakana is not? Or what is the difference? What is the difference? Angles, yes. Angles is one, but they're both hitting the ball very hard. They're both hitting the ball hard. Katie nailed it. Sabalenka is returning it hard, but it's going straight back to the server. Whereas Rabakana's hitting the shot away from the server. So, this person has to run this way, or this way. But when you hit the return straight back to the person at the net, they're gonna just go, oh, thanks, and then it's hit a winner anyway. So, that's the difference. Sabalenka's returns are going to the center, straight to Rabakana, for the most part, that's why she's not as effective. And you can see that on the second serve points one. See that? Second serve points one, 60% Rabakana is because Sabalenka's going straight back to her. Whereas Rabakana's hitting away. And then also, the double fault count is because of that same thing. Rabakana is smacking the ball away and Sabalenka's like, shit, I better hit a good shot. Whereas Rabakana's not afraid of Sabalenka on the second serve, which is why she's lacking the double faults that Sabalenka has. All right, that's enough. I think we've been to school enough for this match. Anyways, love 15. Rabakana wins the first point. You'd make a good coach. Yeah, somebody would hire me, maybe. See how we go. Serve down to the forehand of Rabakana. Backhand out from Sabalenka. Again to the backhand of Rabakana. Into the forehand of Sabalenka. Forehand of Rabakana. Again to the forehand of Sabalenka. Now Rabakana at the net with a volley. Sabalenka can't get it. Love 30. I'll tell you what, Rabakana, she might not be that confident at the net. Her volleys are average. Oh, like, they're okay. But I love the fact she still comes into the net. Like, she still is not afraid to come to the net when she needs to. You know, she's not like Medvedev, who does like a 180 and then sprints to the baseline like he's allergic to the net, you know? Love 30. Return goes out. That's a good serve. Sabalenka needs more of those serves. Needs more first serves. 15-30. Even though she's getting a lot of first serves in, I mean, you can tell they have 70% of the points on the first serve. I mean, that's no, that's no joke. 15-30. Good serve out wide. Another good first serve. Return goes in. Fionna Sabalenka is a winner. There you go. 30-all. And look, Sabalenka, I mean, maybe like 65, 70%, she'd be probably holding easier. But yeah. I think she more, she just needs to get the first serve in so she doesn't double fold. All right, 30-all. Massive point. That's a bit of a fault. Second serve. This is the point. Second serve. Is a double fold. You kind of knew it was going to happen to you. Yeah, I mean, we've been talking about it for the best part of the last hour. Why she's double folding, what Rebecca is doing to make her double fold. And then when you put on top of that, six, five, 30-all, one of the biggest points of the match so far, the double fold was going to happen. At least, you know, that's what happens. When you're under the most pressure, those things fall apart. 30-40 for some players. Some are clutch, some don't. As we return now to the back end of Sabalenka, back end of Rebecca. Again to the back end of Sabalenka, but Rebecca hits it out. Rebecca just hit it out. Deuce, maybe a little over, over excited to hit the winner. Rebecca, the most emotion. I mean, she went like this. And that means, like that's basically her screaming. Good serve, Sabalenka. We're returning there from Rebecca now. All right, advantage, Sabalenka. By the way, chat, yes, you're only an hour down. One hour to go. Kind of need the next set to be as long as this one, I guess. Wouldn't want someone to run away with a second set, would ya? As with a second, second's first serve. Out wide, good serve. Rebecca and it gets it back. Sabalenka with a smash. The forehand, Rebecca and it gets it, but it goes wide. Tie break. And now it's time. The first ever tie break between these two ladies in 13 sets of tennis. How crazy is that, chat? The first tie break in this rivalry and man, who's gonna win it? I mean, both ladies have had their chances. I'll tell you what it's gonna come down to, double folds. It's gonna come down to double folds. Who's gonna be able to, and maybe first serves, who's gonna get more first serves? But man, this is gonna be an exciting tie break. Let me know in the chat who's gonna win it and what the score's gonna be. As Rebecca serves to the forehand of Sabalenka, forehand of Rebecca, it's the forehand of Sabalenka. Again, to the forehand of Rebecca, Sabalenka on the stretch. Rebecca in the forehand, again to the backhand of Sabalenka and the backhand of Rebecca. Sabalenka with the forehand, cross court. Rebecca is also cross court. Sabalenka slices it into the forehand slice of Rebecca, Sabalenka with a pass. Oh, what a shot! This is gonna be on Vegas TV. Is it good? Yes it is! Sabalenka with a pass and the crowd go up and be like, roaring. Like as soon as that was like, roar! Insane reaction from the crowd to an insane shot. I mean, that was insane. Did I say that it was, did I say insane five times already? Huge backhand pass. Woof. The crowd just, like, the crowd just went up and we're just like, like it was like a loud roar. High fives all around, that's it. All right, Sabalenka breaks the mini break first game. One love. Huge passing shot to start the tie break. Serving the forehand of Rebecca but Rebecca in the net. Sabalenka, two love, that's her first serve. If Sabalenka doesn't double fault, she'll win the tie break. That's what I'm thinking. If Sabalenka doesn't double fault, she'll win the tie break. If she double faults, it'll be a lot harder. She serves a fault there, second serve. I just beat or juiced her. I think I just beat or juiced her. All right, two love, second serve. Second serve is in to the forehand of Rabakina. Foreigner Sabalenka again to the forehand of Rabakina. Rabakina smacks it down the line. Sabalenka just going too close to Rabakina on that one. Two one, we're back on serve. Lovely forehand down the line from Rabakina. She's hitting so clean this week, Rabakina. It's Fjontek matching now. She is hitting so, so clean. That forehand. All right, back on serve, two one, serve. There's a fault from Rabakina, second serve. Second serve, Rabakina. Into the back of Sabalenka, good return, but it's straight to Rabakina, foreigner Sabalenka. Again, the foreigner Rabakina. Into the back of Sabalenka, back in the backhand. There's been another one from Sabalenka down the line. And chat, you know what I just said about when we went back to school? That's exactly what Sabalenka did. As soon as you got the second serve, she went straight down the middle and Rabakina took one step and hit a backhand. It was so, so easy for Rabakina to get the return. Sabalenka's got to go for the shots a little bit, at least make Rabakina stretch on that return. Here we go. So about why the foreigner of Sabalenka, Sabalenka gets it out. Rabakina back in the lead, three two, three two. By the way, don't forget to subscribe. We're almost at 128K, are we gonna get there by the end of this match? Remember the men's match comes up next.

Four and one for Sabalenka. Pop quiz, who has, who's the only player to take a set, a tie break set of Sabalenka this year? There's only one tie breaker that she's lost this year, Sabalenka. Who was it to? Who did she lose to in a tie break? Anyone know? Anybody know? Who was it? And also, where was it? Has been a serve. That's a fault. Bonus points if you can tell me where it was. What event? Three three, second serve. That wasn't herself. She didn't lose to herself. It was Krajikava. Has been a serve now to find Rabakina. Rabakina from Sabalenka in the net. And that was a big return from Rabakina. She gets a mini break, four three. Dubai, yep. It was Dubai against Krajikava. Remember that second set tie break? She won six love in the first, Sabalenka. Seven six in the second, she lost. And then she lost six one. The only match, and the only match she's lost this year, she lost her only tie break in that match to lose. Coincidence? Maybe we'll find out. Has been a serve to the point of Sabalenka. Return goes out from Sabalenka. Great serve. Rabakina with a great serve, sorry. Five three, Rabakina has not lost a tie break this year. So it all points to maybe a Rabakina win. If I'm going off of that. We'll go through who the players have both played in tie breaks this year and tell you who is what and what is what. As we're back in now from Rabakina in the net. Mini break returned. Five four, Sabalenka back on serve. So Rabakina, she's played five tie breaks. She took one off Kostuk at the start of the year and then she lost the match. Then she took a set, a tie break set up as a ranker in the semifinals of the Australian. Two tie breaks at the start of this tournament against Kennan and a tie break against Mukova. They're the five and Sabalenka. Two against Samson over at the start of the year. One against Lynette in the semifinals of Australia. And then of course that Krajikova won that she lost. So she, and also one against Noskova in the Adelaide final, that second set. In fact, we watched pretty much every single one of those matches. All those matches, we've almost watched all those matches. As we had a forehand slice there and five four, Sabalenka backhand. Rabakina gets us right, but it's in the net. Five five chat. This, this, this is the tie break. This is the point in the tie break. Here we go. Here we go. Five all Sabalenka serves. It's in, that's a good first serve. Back in our Sabalenka in the net. Oh, she got the first serve. She got the first serve. And she's laughing because she's like, of course I did. I might as well just double fold it. Set point number two for Rabakina. Sabalenka when she, she can't believe she missed that. Rabakina with a set point on her serve to take the first set tie break. And stay undefeated in tie breaks this year. All right, serve from Rabakina. She serves in the forehand of Sabalenka. Return goes in the forehand of Rabakina. Rabakina hits it out. Six all. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. Rabakina's coaching staff can't believe it. They've got their hands on their head like this. They're like, how did she miss that? She got the first serve in, what happened? Six six. Is Sabalenka gonna steal this? Are we gonna get a steal? This is set up for a steal. As they play dramatic music as they change ends. Nice touch, I don't mind that. A little bit of drama to build the tension between the points. The umpire is like, turn off that music. Shut it off. Turn off that music inappropriate. Fire, fire that man. All right, six six. As we're to serve now, ooh, it's a fault. Second serve, second serve. Rabakina into the backhand of Sabalenka, forehand of Rabakina. Again to the forehand of Sabalenka, into the forehand of Rabakina. Down the line to the backhand of Sabalenka who smokes a winner. Sabalenka's got a set point. This is gonna be our finish. And it's on her serve. Two set points saved by Sabalenka. Now she's got one of her own with that backhand down the line. That shot has been her shot. The two-handed backhand down the line, Sabalenka. And it might win her the tie break. She serves to take the first set. What a dramatic first set. She serves a fault. Second serve. Oh God. Second serve, second serve. Double fault. You can't make it up. You can't make this up. How in the, of course she was gonna do that. It was either an ace or a double fault, Chat. It was either an ace or a double fault. And it wasn't an ace. Seven-seven, she's hit eight double faults in this match. Sabalenka has gone back to last year. Seven-all as she serves. Down the line to the backhand of Rabakina. Backhand of Sabalenka into the backhand of Rabakina. Sabalenka backhand goes long and we got a third set point for Rabakina. Eight-seven Rabakina. How are we feeling? Chat, are we good? Jesus. Remember we've got another final after this. The men's final coming up later. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already.

They change hands at nine-nine. How huge is this tie break? Massive, massive tie break. I'm more nervous for Elena. Well, she's had more chances. She's had way more, she had four chances. Sabalenka has had the one. And she double faulted. Nine-all. By the way, chat, I haven't even checked where we are in the world. Ranking, but chat, we've got a lot of people here. Thank you for joining us, appreciate. Don't forget to like, subscribe and all that stuff. Can we get to a thousand likes by the end of this tie break? I know it's a big ask, but hey, you know, if you don't ask, you don't get, right? Is that what they say? Squeaky wheel and all that jazz. Nine has been a serve. That's a fault. Nine-all, I should say. By the way, we are number two in the world. Number two in America for sports streams right now. And we're currently out of the top 10 because there's soccer. There's a bit of double faults, Sabalenka again. She's hit nine double faults in this set. Nine double faults. Yeah, the Barcelona and Riala playing. So we aren't going to get in the top 10 today, chat. 10 is not going to be able to compete with that. Our classic is going to kick our butt. But we are number two in America, so we'll take it. All right, 10 and nine. We're back in our fifth set point. Another double fault from Sabalenka in this tie break. As she serves, down to the four and Sabalenka return goes in the back of her back and Sabalenka in control with a four and inside out. We're back and it gets it. Sabalenka four-hand cross court is a winner. Wow. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. Wow. Sabalenka would have lost this set a long time ago, 12 months ago. This Sabalenka refuses to lose. And it's 10-all. Holy hell. By the way, chat, we're number one in the U.S. We're currently at the top sports stream in the U.S. on YouTube. Number one in U.S., baby. Has been a return out of the backhand of Rabakina in the net. Rabakina throws a racket. Whoa. That's huge. Rabakina with the racket drop. Never see that. Never ever do you see that. And it's now 11-10. Sabalenka with the serve. Second set point for Sabalenka. Remember, Rabakina's had five. Serve Sabalenka. Down the tee is a fault. No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. Come on now. Come on now. Second serve. Come on now. Second serve is in to the front of Rabakina. Rabakina, Sabalenka is out. 11-all. This tie break is next level. This tie break is ridiculous. 11-all. 11-all. Both of that's multiple set points. Both have double-folded. I mean, it's insane. This is next level. Chats on fire. Crazy. All right, 11-11. Serve. Sabalenka is a fault. Ooh, that's wild. Second serve. Second serve. Second serve, Sabalenka. It's a double-fold. It's a double, of course it was a double-fold. Of course it was. It's a double-fold again, and Sabalenka's gone. What year is it? Is it 2021? What is going on? What, where are we? I thought I was better than this. Anyways, that's her 10th double-fold of the set. 12-11, Rebakinah with a sixth set point. Three double-folds in this set, by the way. We're almost at 128k. Don't forget to like, subscribe. Almost 1,000 likes. Come on, now. We're almost there. As we're to serve it into the forehand of Sabalenka, return goes to Rebakinah. Forehand of Sabalenka, again, to the forehand of Rebakinah. Into the forehand of Sabalenka, who hits it down the line. And long! There's the tie break. Rebakinah takes it. 13-11. And they're on their feet. Rebakinah's camp, I mean, they're all dying. They're all, they can't handle it. 13-11, in almost an hour and a half, the double-folds, three of them in that set from Sabalenka. In that tie break from Sabalenka. 10 double-folds of the match so far. That was the difference. The double-folds from Sabalenka. Remember, she double-folded on set point as well. All right. All right. Here we go. Rebakinah taking the first set. And she's going over to say hi to her coaches. Okay. Geez, Chad, how crazy. What is this? We've got another set of this, maybe two more. Two more of these. I don't know if you can handle it. Two more of these. Insanity, insanity. I mean, look, this is probably the biggest hyped final we've had in very recent memory. And this is the, maybe the Dubai finals more hyped. Maybe the same hype. But this is living up to the hype. Not like Dubai when it was a bit of a flop. All right. How are we feeling? Nerve-wracking, 10 double-folds. Yep. How are we feeling? Can Sabalenka come back? Of course she can. She lost the first set in the Australian Open Final. Came back to win. So of course she can come back. Of course she can. By the way, so close to a thousand likes. You guys are crazy. This deserves a thousand likes. It's the biggest match of the week. Smash the like, that's it. All right. Rebakinah's sister making me laugh. She looks so nervous. Yeah. She does. She's like, she's all of her, all the emotions. Every emotions. Have I ever seen 10 double-folds? Of course. We've watched Sabalenka many times. By the way. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, Sabalenka. Rebakinah's sister is like, oh my God. Never make me go through that again. Like she is freaking out. She is like, do not, how dare you. I'm never coming to the tennis again. This is the worst. That's what she was saying. She was, her coach was like this. But her sister was like, I'm never coming back to this game. I'm never watching you play tennis again. Ha ha ha ha ha. This, that is how I'm sure a lot of you are feeling. She was showing the emotion of your feelings. Oh chat, too much, too much. It's felt too bad. Brian. We need Saba and Rublo in mixed doubles. Ha ha ha. Do we? I don't know if we do. Do we want that? I don't know if we want that. Sabalenka coming back. Hopefully she's left the double folds in the bathroom behind her. Okay. By the way, a thousand likes. Thank you everybody. Appreciate. Man. Appreciate that, that's crazy. Rebakinah's sister is a vibe. She is. She is all of us. Don't worry, be happy. Exactly. That's why tennis is more of a mental sport. For sure. Yeah, I mean, look, both players double-folded on set points to level the setup again. But man, it was just a double-fold to Sabalenka here. Two, three, too many, you know? Okay. Second set underway. Sabalenka serving first though. So this might be a little bit better for Sabalenka being on the scoreboard early. She might even get the first, might get a break early here as we're going to find out into the net from Sabalenka. What? Sabalenka's lost it. I don't know what. Sabalenka is seriously struggling. Like she looks really distressed. Love 15. Like Sabalenka is very, very emotional. Love 15. Serves a fault from Sabalenka. Second serve. Like seriously, Sabalenka looks like scared to hit the second serve. Into the four, now we're back in a great return. Sabalenka returns it. Out. Love 30. Sabalenka is looking very emotional. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable, no. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. Zach! That was heartbreaking. I feel like Rabakana is about to run away with it sadly. Let's rally Sabalenka home. No, Zach, thank you for the five. Good serve down the tee from Sabalenka. She needs more first serves. If she is going to come back, good return though from Rabakana is going to find a fine rally. Now a backhand from Rabakana. Into the four to Sabalenka. Rabakana with the backhand. Into the slice of Sabalenka. To the four and of Rabakana. Sabalenka with a pass. Goes wide. And has love 40. Rabakana just looks different. Sabalenka is emotional. And I'm sure it's because of the 10 double faults. That's the only reason she would be looking like this. The only reason because those double faults that she thought she was passed. I mean, she's gone back to this, like last year's Sabalenka. First serve's a fault. Got my fault in there. Whoop, too early. Got my first! There we go. Second serve. Second serve. Rabakana looks ready. Second serve goes in the backhand of Rabakana. Who smokes a winner and that's why she's hit 10 double faults because of that return. That is the return. Now can Rabakana hold strong? Because that's gonna be the problem now. It's like, okay, now you're in a winning position. You've never been this lady before. Can you hold on? Let's go through the stats of the first set. We all know about the serving stats, but the ground strokes. 18 winners, 19 errors from Sabalenka. 16 winners, only nine errors from Rabakana. She played incredible. Sabalenka a lot of errors compared to, I mean, she's 50-50, but man, Rabakana on another world. And that's because of those returns. Those returns of Rabakana are the difference. Sabalenka tune up. Yeah, well, let me have a look. Wasn't, I have a feeling that Rabakana was up a set and a break in the Australian Open final, right? Is that what happened? The Australian Open final, was she up a break in the second and then she lost? Or was it a break in the third? I can't remember. I can't remember. Let me look. Don't know if I can even find it. As, Rabakana 15 love. Point by point. Here we go. So, so then in the second set. So what happened in the Australian Open? Rabakana won 6-4 first set. Then in the second set, they both held serve at the start and then Sabalenka broke to go up 3-1 in the second, I think. No. She broke to go up 2-1 in the second. And then that was, then won the second set. 30 love. Sabalenka was a breaker racket. And then in the third set, Rabakana held. They held, they held. It was 2-all, it was 3-all, it was. And then Sabalenka broke. So yeah, so Rabakana wasn't up a set and a break. She's never been up a set and a break against Sabalenka until today. This is the best chance she's ever had. 30 love. Indian Wells champion, Alina Rabakana. I mean, it just opens up for the trilogy. If Rabakana wins this, it just, I mean, Miami Trilogy? It'd have to be the final, but Miami Trilogy? The perfect trilogy before the clay. How good would that be? All right, 30-15. We're still a long way from this match, meaning over, just saying. It's only one love in the second. Serving the back end and that goes in the net on the return of Sabalenka. Rabakana 40-15. Who is not emotional? Rabakana. This match looks dead now. This match is just, it's like a dormant volcano. It's just gonna explode eventually. It's only dormant because the first set was so frigging exciting. There's always a lull. 40-30, there's always, there's always a little bit of a, you know, after the first set, we all just take a breath. And we restart for the second, but don't worry, it's not over yet. Sabalenka with a great return, 40-30. 40-30. And she serves an ace, bang, all right. Two love Rabakana, because someone, a lot of you said at the start of this match, Rabakana chokes in finals and she's bad in finals and she isn't great in finals. I don't know why I made that voice. You were saying it normally. You're actually not being a dick. But she doesn't have a great finals record. Also, it's starting to rain. It's starting to rain. Sabalenka's going, yeah, can we get off the court? It's raining. Numbah's like, no. But it's raining. Get me off the court. I need to talk to my coach. I need to go, I need to get some food. All right, it's raining. They're playing, it's all right. It's not raining that bad. There's been a fire now from Sabalenka. There's a smash. She puts that away with some extra power and she knocks Bill Gates out of the first row. Jesus. Oh, well, it's not Bill Gates, but it might be his brother. Has been a smash, very good smash. In the front row, almost. Jesus. Why was he watching? What was that guy looking at? He was looking over here and he's like, the tennis. Sabalenka said, sorry. I mean, she's like, really sorry. Didn't mean to hit it at you. Dude wasn't even awake. 30 love, I don't know what he's doing. Looking at the wrong, he's looking somewhere else. Anyway, I served in the back end of Rabakina. Return goes long, 40 love. So let me, it will go through Rabakina's finals record because it is a big deal and it could be, it could be the difference. I mean, it could make a difference. That's pretty good, sir. The return goes in the back end of Sabalenka. Rabakina with the forehead slice. Sabalenka puts an easy forehand winner away. Okay, good game for Sabalenka, needed that. Just an easy game to get on the board. And now it's, she's still down a break, but she did break Rabakina's serve early in the match. So in finals, Sabalenka is 12 wins, eight losses. So out of 20 finals, she's won 12, over 50%. Last time she lost the final, was then to last year at the WTA final. She actually lost two finals last year. She lost the finals, Stuck guard against Bardi a few years ago. And she also lost the final in 2019 against Zhang, Sai-Sai Zhang, Wasniaki Mertens and Sharapova. So really, since Sabalenka has become a top 10 player, she's only lost three finals, or four finals. She also lost to Shriyantek last year in a final. So that is, look, 12 and eight, it's pretty good record. Now I think I'm pretty sure Rabakina's record is a lot worse, like three and 10 or something. Let me check. Let me check. Where is it, there we go. Three and eight. So three out of 11, she's won the final and she's lost three out of the 11. One of those being in Australia, obviously at the start of the year. She also lost the final last year in hard court in Porter Ross against Sinia Kovan. Now she won the first set in a tie break and then she lost the second set in a tie break in the third set, six, four. So she has been up a tie break before, first set. In fact, two of the finals that she's led, or sorry, three of the finals that she's led a set, she's actually lost. So that is something she's gonna be thinking about and especially the Australian Open final because she was up a set against Sabalinka there and lost in three. Last time she was down, she was up a set to win a match or win a tournament was back in Hobart. She won seven, six, six, three against Song in 2020 Hobart. That was the last time Rabakina won a straight sets final. She won Wimbledon, of course, she won in three sets down a set and came back. So that is where we're at. Can Rabakina hold? Keep her lead. 15 love. Bad time to go to double fold horror. I mean, this is the worst. I think it's easy, obvious, right? It's the worst match Sabalinka's played this year or at least the worst serving display she's had all year. Even against the Kredjikova loss, I think she played better than this or served better than this. She's playing good, but she's not serving good. Pardon me. Yeah, she served, what, seven double folds? Sorry, no, she's had 14 double folds against Kredjikova in that Dubai match. So maybe she's, maybe that was worse. Then again, we haven't finished yet, so. As we get a fold, second serve. Second serve, Rabakina. Into the back of Sabalinka. Four now, Rabakina. Again, into the front of Sabalinka, into the front of Rabakina on the stretch. Sabalinka with the forehand down the line. It's more of in the middle. And man, Rabakina just dumped that in the net for no reason, 15-30. Now, remember Mukava, Rabakina. Who remembers what happened in that match? Remember, we watched it quarter-finals. If you were there, you'll remember. What happened in the second set and why did that happen, you reckon? So just having a look at the Dubai match, Sabalinka served 14 aces and seven double folds, I think. Now, let me triple-check. And her only loss, sorry, 10 aces and five double folds. So even against Krijikova, she didn't play that bad. It's probably the most double fold she's hit in the match for the year. 15-30, second serve. Now the back of Sabalinka, Rabakina on the net, it's 15-40. Sabalinka to get it back. So yeah, does anyone remember what happened against Mukava? Mukava lost momentum. Sorry, I'm not Mukava. Sorry, Jack. I'm not Mukava. She can't as you won the second set against Mukava. My bad, not Mukava. Who am I thinking? Against Mukava. No, sorry, sorry, it was against Mukava. Chats got me confused. What happened in the second set against Mukava? Has been a four-and-a-four rally. Again, to the four-and-a-four rebakina, down the line of the backhand of Sabalinka. Backhand, Rabakina, into the backhand of Sabalinka. Sabalinka wants a break back, but she's not gonna get it here. Unbelievable. Great winner down the line. So what happened? Second set, what happened? It's really like, don't go too, don't think too hard. Just what happened? You can even just Google the scores. Might get an idea. Open a serve, that's a fold. Here we go, chance. Big chance for Sabalinka. Can she return the ball away from Rabakina on the second serve? Second serve is too good. Rabakina with the backhand now. Backhand Sabalinka into the four-and-a-four rebakina. Into the four-and-a-four Sabalinka. Rabakina four-hand, again. The four-and-a-four Sabalinka. Into the four-and-a-four Rabakina. Four-and-a-four Sabalinka is shanked. And it is not gonna make it. Deuce. Mukava was making a move. Yeah, so in the second set, Mukava won the second set 6-2 after losing the tie break. Like this match. But Rabakina took the second set off. I mean, she did not play. She was just like super casual. Mukava stepped up, because she had to. But Rabakina did not, like, she disappeared for the second set and then bought it back in the third. So let's hope, well, Rabakina's gonna hope that she doesn't let up in the second. You know, it doesn't take a break here. It doesn't just chill. No, try and get this match done in straights. She's gonna return now going wide from Sabalinka advantage, Rabakina. Because she did it already once this year, this week. So hopefully she's learned from that. By the way, we're 19 away from 128K. That is insane. Thank you so much everybody for joining us, Jesus. We're almost at 130,000 subscribers. What is even that number? Advantage Rabakina as she serves to get to 3-1. She serves a fault. Second serve as we return now from Rabakina Sabalinka and Rabakina in the net. This could be the game. This could be it. This could be the game that decides whether or not Sabalinka's gonna make a comeback. By the way, how do we light the trophy chat? Rate it out of five. The Indian Wells trophy. What do we think? Out of five. Do we rate it? Do we hate it? What do we reckon? Out of five. Actually, instead of out of five, rate or hate? Rate or hate? Actually, no, don't say hate. We don't want to hate on this. As we're at a five, out of five. Four, four, five. Somebody love it. Three and a half. Two, three, 22. That's a lot. 3.7. Meh. Okay. Actually, three. Yeah, look, I mean, yeah, meh. I'm on your board. I think it's a lazy trophy, but also it's cool. It's all right, I guess. It's unique. Anyways, Shane from Sabalinka and it's 3-1. 3-1 Rabakina, good serving. Love it, okay. You should have asked that for Paris. Oh, we will. The Paris Trophy sucks. That trophy is like a one. Well, right, it is probably like a three, two and a half. It's meh. Well, Charlie's thrown on the camera and she doesn't realize she was until she was. 3-1. It looks real heavy. It does, doesn't it? It looks like a doorstop. All right, that return goes out from Rabakina. 15 love. This win game here for Sabalinka. Double break smells like death. Well, I don't know why, but it would. 15 love. And that ball was just out from Rabakina. Ooh, whee. Cam, is it over? Oh, shit, I didn't even realize. Chad versus Cam is live right now. Cam versus Chad, I should say. We are, this is, I'm getting too much in the match. I'm not even thinking about it. I'm worried. That goes down the line and long from Rabakina, 30 love. So Chad's got 20 minutes until they might win. So I need Rabakina to win this set right now. Come on now. What's the best Grand Slam trophy? Wimbledon. The men's Wimbledon trophy. 30 love. So now the back end of Rabakina. Rabakina Sabalinka is wide, 30-15. Rabakina runs away with a second set, I might be safe. Remember Chad, we are playing Cam versus Chad. If it's over two hours, Chad wins. If it's under two hours, I win. And right now, it is really close. All right, Sabalinka looks distressed. 30-15, she serves to the back end of Rabakina. Back end of Sabalinka into the back end of Rabakina. Back end of Sabalinka down the line is wide and long. Uh-oh, 30-oh, 30-oh, this is a big point now for Sabalinka. This could decide this final. Just up recently and you've already acknowledged my comment. Ah, well I read as many comments as I can see. Can't get over the 11-all score, yeah. Is it a serve down the table? That's a fault. Second serve, this is a big point now. Second serve, 30-oh, second serve. Oh, it goes into the back end of Rabakina. Four-and-a-Sabalinka, into the front end of Rabakina. Into the front of Sabalinka. Rabakina with a slice, that goes in. Sabalinka down the line, Rabakina guesses right, but Sabalinka hit it out. Sabalinka over-hit it, 30-40. Now the game is alive. Chaddy, you're getting nervous now. 30-40 for a double break in the second. And one hand, firmly on the trophy from Rabakina. Serve, down the tee, the front of Rabakina return. No, it goes out. And we get to deuce. We get to deuce. Good serve, Sabalinka. As we get to deuce, 13-11 was the first set tie break. Sabalinka serve, no double faults in this set, but 10 double faults in the match. All first set as we serve out wide. That's a big serve. Advantage Sabalinka. Advantage Sabalinka, she serves again. Down the tee, the front of Rabakina. Great return, Sabalinka in the net, back to deuce. Cool. This game, this is the game, back to deuce. Can Sabalinka hold on? Serve, into the front of Rabakina. Rabakina, Sabalinka, cross-court to winner. That first serve came to the rescue. And it's advantage, great forehand after a big serve. And it's advantage Sabalinka to just hang around. This final might not be over yet. Advantage Sabalinka, serve, into the front of Rabakina. Good return. This is gonna be our biggest TV show. Massive return from Rabakina, back to deuce. That was a great return, right on the line. And Sabalinka was there, she just watched it. Back to deuce. Serving to the front of Rabakina. Front of Sabalinka hits the table and goes wide. And we have break point for Rabakina. Advantage Rabakina. Advantage Rabakina. To take the double break in the second. Advantage Rabakina. Serving to Sabalinka. Down the tee's an ace. Whoa! Huge from Sabalinka, back to deuce. Woo! It's only what, a third, fourth ace? Third ace? Jesus. A third ace. Has been a serve. Out wide, there's another one! Her fourth ace, back to back ace, it's first time today. Advantage Sabalinka. Advantage Sabalinka. Serve. Down the tee, good serve, return goes in. Sabalinka thought it was a fault as she had the drop shot. Rabakina with a lob. And Sabalinka puts away the smash straight at Rabakina, but Rabakina dodged it. All right, Sabalinka survives. Three, two in the second. That was a huge game. That was a massive game. Sabalinka's walking over to the coaches, I think. Wow, okay. Getting some magic potion. All right, cool, cool. Getting some magic potion. All right, here we go. Sabalinka hanging on. Can't you break back? That's the question. Are we only halfway through this match? That's the question in the chat. What's going on, everybody? How are we doing? Sabalinka got a mojo back. Well, she hasn't double-falted. I mean, that's the first thing. No double-faults, but let's see. This game is, this is the game of the match. Well, there, this game. I mean, the next few games are definitely going to be the... Definitely going to be crucial. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. Zach! She has been over-hitting every ball from the start of the tie break. She has to pull it together mentally. Yeah, for sure. A question, Jack! Hey, Robin with a 20. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. Zach! Rabakina, I believe, is a humble lady and thinks she can get to number one within the next 12 to 16 months. Hashtag Raleigh Sabahome. Thank you, Zach. Thank you, Robin, for the 20. Appreciate that. Thank you, Zach, for the donations as well. Yeah, look, Rabakina, she's quietly confident, I think. She's got that quiet confidence about her. Well, she's like, okay, you know, um, you know, I'm not going to say, hey, I'm the best player on the planet, but if I keep beating Shriyantek, people are going to say it for me. If you know what I mean. So, yeah, I, I agree with that. That's a good, that's a good way of putting it. And she probably will be number one at some stage if she keeps playing like this. 15 love. All right, here we go. Let's see, can Sabahlenka get this break back? Now the first set, Sabahlenka was up 4-2. That was the first set. 15 loves, we deserve. Down the tee, that's a fault.

Again, to the back end of Rabakina, into the back end of Sabahlenka, Rabakina with a back end is good. Sabahlenka slices it into the slice of Rabakina, back end from Sabahlenka to the front of Rabakina, into the front of Sabahlenka. That's good to the back end of Rabakina. Back end drop shot from Sabahlenka is wide. Sabahlenka trying some different things now, but it's, and Sabahlenka every time she's losing the point is looking super stressed. Like she is not happy at how this is going. 40 love. To get the four two here in the second, just keep, keep her away. This is a mental battle now for Rabakina. Can't she hold? Keep her, keep her away. Serve. Down to the forehand of Sabahlenka, that's a fault from Rabakina, second serve. Second serve to get the four two.

She's got two chances. She's got two service breaks. Men's final coming up next. Mehdi versus Tiafo, sorry, Mehdi versus Elkara as the stakes are even higher. So stick around for the men's final. Five, two, here we go, serve. Down the tee, there's a fault. Serving for the second biggest trophy of her career, the first since Wimbledon. And revenge over Sebelenka. As she serves in the back of the Sebelenka, return goes in the back of Rabakina. That goes into the front of Sebelenka. Back in every back in her. To the back end slice of Sebelenka.

What a lack of concentration from Irina, because of the game. She just got very emotional after the first set. She doesn't need a double fault in this set though, so her emotions are stronger, but her game is obviously not at the moment. A little serve. That's a fault from Rabakina. Second serve, love 30. Almost two hours played. Love 30. Serve into the back end of Sebelenka. Back in every back in her. That goes out. Sebelenka to get back one of the breaks. Love 40. Hey, road to dawn.

Wide to the back end of Sebelenka. Back in every back in her. Into the corner of Sebelenka. That's a great shot. Sebelenka breaks back. One break back. One break back. To get back on serve. She's got a break again. But she gets one back. Maybe a little nerves from her back in her. You know, serving for the big trophy. You know, maybe she just took it a little bit. Maybe she was just trying to get the serve in rather than trying to, you know, go for the win. Can't do that against Sebelenka. If you've got her on the ropes, you've got to go for the kill. You can't just expect her to give you the trophy. You've got to take it from her. Four in return goes in the net from Rebakina. Sebelenka, 15 love. Hashtag chat one. It's not over yet. Sebelenka double fault four times. 15 love. Served into the four in a Rebakina. Rebakina can't get a 30 love. Sebelenka has found a different, well, in this game found a different level.

Don't want to talk about it. I don't want, I don't want to, I don't care. Whatever. 40, 15. 40, 15. And Sebelenka serves. Now while the four in a Rebakina, Rebakina in the net, five, four. Rebakina's going to have another chance to serve this match, but okay. You're good at talking fast. That's part of the job. I mean, if I talk slow, then you're going to miss half the shots.

Nice to see how it is. I was being humble in victory. I see chat. Rubbing it in. Yeah. I'll read your, I'll remember this. I'll remember you. All of you. 30 love. Two points away from the biggest trophy since Wimbledon. Second biggest trophy of her life. All right. 30 love. Serve. It's a double fault. The second double fault. Tells she's nervous. Rebacking her. She's jumping around a little bit. She's a little bit on edge. All right. 30, 15. 35th. As we deserve. Down to see the final of Saber Lanker. Four now Rebacking her. Again to the final Saber Lanker. Rebacking her. It's a winner. Championship points for Alina Rebacking her. To get revenge over that Australian open loss and win the biggest trophy since Wimbledon. Indian Wells champion Alina Rebacking her has a nice ring to it. Just before the wind starts flying it's getting hectic out there. The men's finals gonna be insane. Championship point for Rebacking her. She serves out wide. Saber Lanker hits it in the net and Alina Rebacking her gets her revenge. She finally beats Saber Lanker in straight sets. Not mind you. And this is a rivalry where we want the trilogy now. We want the trilogy in Miami. Let's get it. They played in Australia. They played in Indian Wells. Let's have the trilogy in Miami. It's one-one this year. Rebacking is the champion and she deserves it. Let's be honest. She probably, I think a lot of people picked her to win the Australian open. But Indian Wells is called the fifth slam. So it's kind of, it's still a big deal. She wins her first Masters 1000 trophy. We're gonna change the badges now. And she's also world number seven. Career high ranking. Hell yeah. And look, no big celebration. Very, very, you know, calm. Just like, yeah, okay. And how big was that first set tie break? That first set tie break was huge. Alina Rebacking the champion. Love that for her. Love that. And it creates this huge rivalry between these four players. Krajikovar, Rebacking her, Saber Lanker and Sviantec. That four, that four is just, I mean, those four players are ridiculous. GGs, indeed, GGs. But like, again, just very like, very like, okay, cool. I won the trophy. Like not falling to the ground or crying, not just kind of like, awesome. She wins her fourth trophy, her first since Wimbledon. Did you see her sister's reaction? Yeah, she just kind of sat there in shock. She's like, I ain't coming back to the tennis. I ain't going to Miami. This is too, this is too much. And look, I think it's obvious, right? The double fault from Saber Lanker, that was what killed this, killed her chances. Especially that tie break. She had three double faults in the tie break, especially the one that she hit on set point when she had set point. That was the difference, those double faults, but so solid from Rebacking her. Especially being down early in the first sets, four, two down, came back, won the tie break, then really just dominated the second. Her sister just said, thank God. Yeah, she ain't coming back to the tennis. She was like, never bring me back to this sport. This sport is the worst. Yeah, the double faults, old Saber Lanker came back, you know? So she's not quite over, you know, over the yips yet. She's getting better though, Saber Lanker, but today she went back to, unfortunately went back to the old Saber Lanker. Also commentary and insight, no worries, Rodney. Hopefully you enjoyed, hopefully everyone enjoyed. Don't forget to subscribe on the way out. We're almost 130K, which is insane. And we had a ton of people here. I mean, this is the biggest match we had near on 7,000 people here. So mind blowing, the numbers of the number of people that showed up. So thank you for that. We're gonna stick around for a little bit because the men's finals starts in 45. So we got some time to just chill. But let's get through some chat. Hey, thank you, Brian. Cam lost only because he had a rib injury. Yeah, guys, I would have won Cam as a chatter. My rib, I hurt my rib. I hurt my rib from shouting. Brian with, that's probably the best comment. I got, look, luckily Shriantik fans aren't here, but well, they are. Brian said it, don't get angry at me. Okay, good comment. Very good comment. The chat loved it too. Let's answer some questions. What is the status of Halib? Oh, she's training on the clay. So good signs, I think. Don't know when she's coming back, but she is training on the clay. So great commentary, no need to watch, very entertaining. That's my job. If I can do that. And I'm pleased. We're back in a beautiful and talented. There you go. Another bet against the chat in the men's final. No, I can't take two losses in a row, come on. Well, no, I'm not taking two Ls in a row. Did I see Robin? Who's Robin? Is Robin there? Thanks for the stream, no worries. Don't forget men's final coming up next. They're gonna do the trophy ceremony. But, and like I said, the wind has picked up. So in the men's final, it's going to be windy. It's going, and maybe even some rain because there is rain on the way as per some of the people from Californians telling me that. Is it raining in Cali right now? Where are the Californians? No worries, Rajesh. Yeah, it was two hours and three minutes. I mean, we picked the over-under perfectly. And I was, if we're back in a serve that way in the first game, I would have got the win, but. It was very close. But yeah, we ain't playing, we're gonna play chat versus Cam next week when we watch Miami. I can't do it twice. Otherwise get boring. If you do the same thing over and over then it just doesn't be, it's all fun. Happy for Rabakina, sad for Sabalenka, but glad she lost the one that you showed up and rather the other way around. Hey, yeah. I think this is great for tennis because if you have, you know, if Sabalenka won, you know, that's great. But for Rabakina, we're in a big trophy like this outside of Wimbledon. It shows that, well, first of all, all the naysayers who were like, Rabakina chokes in finals. She doesn't play well in big finals. Those people can get stuffed. And that way, you know, and it proves that like, yes, she can. She just hasn't got a good finals record. Doesn't mean she can't win these big trophies. So, and to do it in straight sets. I mean, that's impressive. She hands Sabalenka a second loss, her first straight sets loss of the year. So to do that, by the way, Rabakina, let's go to the power rankings because I forgot to do it. Here are the power rankings. And look at that. You've got Sabalenka one, Kredjic of a two, Benches three, Triantec four, and now Rabakina is five, and Rabakina beat two of those three players ahead of her. So that means that Rabakina is a chance to get a, to go maybe number two, possibly number one, by the start of Miami. So we'll update the power rankings before Miami. Power rankings are based on who you beat, not what you win, not necessarily what you win, but if you do win big trophies, you probably beat some good players along the way. And Rabakina also gets her first trophy the year. So I'll be updating that as well. But yeah, Rabakina, I'm going to say Rabakina is going to be two, one or two after this week. Probably two, because Sabalenka still had better, like it hasn't lost. I mean, might be Sabalenka, Rabakina, Sviantec, Kredjic of a, in that order. But yeah, power rankings will update them. I'll actually be updating them for the matches that start on Thursday, or Wednesday. Okay, Tommy Haas, Tomer Director, he's having a chat. We are ready, and waving the cameras for the nice hair. Unbelievable, no, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. Unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. All right. I am more hyped for this Medi-Carlos match 5X than the Super Bowl. LMAOI will be 20 to 30 seconds roughly behind, so I can sync Cam's goat A asterisk asterisk to the TV. All right. Thank you, Zach. Hey, Ultimate. Cam and Zach get stuffed lol hashtag chat nose. Hey. Hey. Hey, what was that? Thank you for the two bucks. The chat is on a roll. Let's play Cam. Cam has the yips. No, no, I'm not doing it again. I don't want it to be a thing that we do every single day that it just becomes boring. Got to keep the Camper's chat game for, got to keep it interesting. Otherwise it gets a bit too repetitive. Rabakina for her most beautiful tennis player, okay? All right. Sabalenka coming up to receive her runner's up trophy. But, man. I mean, the big four right now are Krajikova, Sabalenka, Sveonsek, Rabakina, right? They've all got big trophies now. Dubai went to, I went to, sorry, let's start, start. Sabalenka won in Australia. Then Sveonsek won in Doha, huge tournament. Then we had Dubai, Krajikova, and now we've got Rabakina in Indian world. So it's perfectly set up for Miami. Like Miami, we could be getting Sabalenka and Krajikova fourth round. Quarter final, Sveonsek, Rabakina. That could all happen. She's like, thank you for another, to Rabakina. She's like, thanks. You had another amazing week. She's like, hopefully the next one will go to me. It's like, you won four in a row. Of course, thank you for hosting us, Indian Wells. She even lost out at the last open. Who's that? She's like, thank you for an amazing tournament to the sponsors. Rabakina is the WTA's Pete Sampras silent killer. That's a good comparison. I can see that like in mentality wise, right? It would take time for Camden Hillerspence. Yeah, I've lost two in a row now, Chad. We're gonna pause it. I'm not really following the Phoenix challenger. All I know is that the big names lost, which I like for the little guys. All right, saying still the best. Sabalenka, given her coach is a bit of grief. First time she's lost in a final since the WTA finals last year. Thanks for the crowd that's supporting us. One way to get the crowd to cheer is like, thanks for the crowd. Woo, that's me. I'm a crowd. Hopefully next year I can do better. I'll see you then next year. But still, Sabalenka, hell of a week. Getting revenge of a crudicula, that was one thing. And then now Rabakina who's beaten number one and two in the world back to back for the first time in her career, I'm gonna guess. And the B&B Paribas French dude, having a chat. How are your day going? I don't know my ribs hurt. My ribs, my ribs hurt too. That's why I lost. I have a feeling Coco Gough is out early in Miami. Oh, okay. I think Zachary's got the hardest draw. Her first 1000 lost too. Is it? Her first 1000 finals lost? I thought she lost a body. Oh no, that was in Stuttgart. That doesn't count. All right, they're just waiting for Rabakina to give a speech and then we can go to the, go to the men's final which is starting in about, well in about 30 minutes. So this is perfect timing. We might have to just cross straight over to that and do our thing. Not really need food, but by the way, saying thank you to Tommy Haas and all those other people to organize such an amazing tournament. Again, the B&B Paribas guy is speaking more than Sebelenko, but that's fine. He gets one chance. So this is it. Taking it. He's talking a lot. So very long. He's talking. He definitely rehearsed the speech. This is a long, he spoke more than Sebelenko. I'm not gonna lie. Not gonna lie. The sponsors spoke more than Sebelenko. Where's Rabakina? Come on. Come on. Where is she? Where is she? Anyway, so the men's final coming up next between Mehvedev and Elkraz, a lot of high stakes on the line, not just revenge, where there's no real revenge because they're playing for the first time in a long time, but next final is going to be huge. So I'll set you for that. I'm at the crowd. Oh, really? That was a great match. I mean, you get an extra match now, but that was a huge match. If you only got one match, that was the only match you got today. Holy hell, that would have been, that was epic. All right. Yeah, he keeps talking here. Is Djokovic playing Miami? No. Revenge is cold. Yes. Revenge is a dish served cold, is that what you're saying? Why did Djokovic withdraw because he couldn't get into a USA? Why do I feel like you're baiting me with that question? Like usually the person who asked that question, why did Djokovic not get into Miami is then gonna say like, well, they should ban all the Americans. And you're just like, oh, okay. We understand, all right? Just chill. Anyways, that question is like, well, if you've been watching tennis, you know why Djokovic got kicked out. He didn't play Indian loss for the same reason. But I feel like you're baiting me. A seven-linger will beat Rebacon on clay really bad. Not necessarily. Rebacon can play on clay. Rebacon can play on clay. No goats in Miami. But the thing is, what I've realized this week is that without the goats, tennis is fine. Like tennis is gonna survive without the goats. Thank God for WTA. I think that's why. With the women's tennis is now without the goats in the way, women's tennis has been able to thrive this week. We've been able to see like a lot of, you know, big names on the women's side start to be like, well, I'm a big deal. On the men's side, it's still a little behind, but it's so nice that, you know, without the goats, tennis is gonna be fine. You know? Congrats to both ladies. Yeah, hell of a match. Yeah, tennis will be fine. Maybe if you're a fan of Nadal Djokovic, you will personally be not okay, but that's all right. You'll get over it and you'll come back and you'll watch someone else. Like I did with Leighton Hewitt. I took like four years away from the game because I had my favorite played in play and I was like, I'm gonna go travel. Still went to Wimbledon, but I mean, I wasn't really focused on the game. But yeah, it'll be fine. WTA pick it on the mantle. Well, WTA has more progress. So the rivalries are more stable. The champions are starting to emerge, right? The consistent champions or at least the consistent contenders. So yeah, I feel like the WTA is more, is definitely more established post Serena than what the ATP is post, you know, three of them. But I feel like the ATP is getting there. I mean, this final today is gonna be epic. Between these two, WTA just needs Rodecona and BB to play well. Well, they're playing each other, so that doesn't help. But then again, that match is awesome for like, because I wanna see that match. Hopefully without any injuries this time. Imagine being a Shewitt fan, lol. Yeah, it wasn't fun. Not towards the end anyway. How will the wind affect the next match and who will be happy with it? The wind will affect Mevvedev. It'll affect Mevvedev. Mentally, it'll annoy him. And also his game hasn't got as much variety as Elkeras. See, when you're playing in the wind, when you're playing in the wind, you wanna come to the net and you wanna shorten the distance between you and your opponent so the ball doesn't travel and move in the wind as much. Mevvedev doesn't have that ability to come to the net and make that happen. Elkeras does, right? So Elkeras come to the net, I'm expecting a lot in the next match. Not just because that's a tactic that beats Mevvedev, but also because of the wind. So I'm excited. The next match is gonna be interesting. I think Mevvedev is gonna be fireworks. I think Elkeras is gonna play like fireworks and it's gonna be insane. Also, maybe a rain delay. There might be a rain delay. So just brace yourselves if you're staying up late. Who has better ground strokes will have edge on clay? But like, yeah, but the comment was that somebody said that Rabakina was no chance on clay. It's like, well, Rabakina beat Serena on clay. And Sabalenco, I think models her game after Serena. So if you can beat Serena, you can get Sabalenco. Sabalenco's only clay court, huge victory was in Madrid. That's a fast clay court and fast conditions. So if they played in Miami, in Madrid, sorry, that would be interesting. If they played the French open, it's an even matchup. Maybe even a slight advantage to Rabakina. Cause she said this week, she actually likes playing on clay. She just doesn't, didn't like playing on this court because this court was a lot slower even though clay is slow, but you can slide on clay. So yeah, I feel like the movement of Rabakina is better on clay than maybe Sabalenco. When did Rabakina beat Serena? Back in 21, 2021, she beat Serena and then lost to Pavley Czenkova. Yeah, sorry, my feed cut out. I don't know why, cause that dude was talking too much so people got bored. Unfortunately cut out, but don't worry. I'm sure Rabakina said something nice. All right, next match coming up is in about 30 minutes. Who gives such an ugly huge trophy? Indian Wells. The old trophy used to be a whale. So I mean, it's either that or a whale, like free willy jumping over rocks. I mean, it's up to you. Go check it out. Shut the fuck up, okay? You then hit left and you don't say sorry. You think you're a new kid? I don't have to stop and you kept doing like this to the team? Except bullshit Russian, you think this is normal? Zack! The over 22.5 hit in women's final as well, I called that by half game before the match. Yeah, well that also. You heard it here first. Thanks again for the steam cam. Hit the like button. Thank you. Thank you, Zack. Sorry, I didn't realize it was first. Two questions, two part answers. Yeah, the over hit, that's probably was the play, wasn't it? Rather than the, maybe the, it might make sense that it would have been the over. By the way, the first straight sets match in this rivalry and it was the second longest match of their rivalry, which is weird. Can we have a rest? Yeah, we're gonna jump over the next one in about five, 10 minutes and then you guys can chill, I'm gonna get a tea and then we'll be back to do it all again. I mean, it's, how are we gonna, how are we gonna top that? Guys, how do we top that? Greg's misses the whale. Let's get this Carlitos. I want two winners today, okay? Interesting, we'll see. Let's see. They're coming out in the next 30, probably 25, 30 minutes. And like I said, it's very windy, very windy at the venue. So things are gonna get a little bit crazy, I think in the next match. Galcarez is gonna have, gonna enjoy the conditions more personally, but I think it's gonna get a little, little nuts, a little crazy. We're back in, can defend Wimbledon. Yeah, but the best thing is that she doesn't even have points to defend, so it's less pressure. Like defending points is the part that I think players get scared of, but her ranking might be three in the world without Wimbledon points, which is insane. And then she can play Wimbledon as the defending champion, but without the points attached. So everything's, everything's, it's like she's never won it, you know? It's like she didn't even play last year. So that's a good thing for her. That's a good, that's a good, good thing for Rebecca. Metty gonna go on a tirade for these conditions? Yeah. And we're gonna watch it. I'm excited for the tirade. What happened to Fernandez? She's still around. She got injured. That's the, that was the main thing. She got injured, so. Carlos will win it. Don't see Metty do anything special today, especially on this surface. Metty in two? I mean, that's the thing. We don't know what this is gonna look like. Just like we didn't know much about today's final, what it was gonna look like. We've seen it before, but we didn't know exactly because of the conditions and the court. I mean, I thought it would be Sabalenka. I thought Sabalenka would do better in this final just because she has the head-to-head record. And I think she was playing better up until this match. Like she was playing amazing against Zachary and Goff, but then we're back at a big Shriontech. So what's more impressive, beating Goff and Zachary back-to-back or beating Shriontech? One, you know, once. I guess beating Shriontech, right? Rain was expected to go down 10 to 20%. Okay, we'll keep an eye on it. Thank you, Debbie, appreciate it. We'll keep an eye on the rain because it is looking a little hectic. Yeah, she did come out swinging Sabalenka. She did, she came out absolutely swinging. And Rabakina adjusted, you know, great for her. It would have been interesting had the tie break gone the other way, would it have been maybe Sabalenka running away with the second? The Sabalenka was very distressed at the start of the second set because of the first set loss. So you wonder if maybe Sabalenka snuck the first, had it, it might have gone the other way, you know? In straight sets. So that first set was, especially being 13-11 in the tie break, probably one of the most crazy tie breaks we've watched in recent times. Madness. Is Fritz going to Miami? Yeah, yeah, he's gone. As far as I know, Kathy, yeah. Men's finals are gonna be 10 times more quality. This was quality, so if it's 10 times more, I mean, hell yeah. It means it's gonna be one of the best matches of the year. It has potential. Match of the year potential, the next one. All right, match of the year possibly coming up. I don't know if you can call this one match of the year just because it wasn't three sets. I feel like the Australian Open Final might have been slightly better. At least more dramatic towards the end, right? More drama in the score. When does Miami start? Robin, it starts on, I think it starts on Wednesday. Thursday? Yeah, Fernandez plays a qualifier. First round of Miami. Carlos is much better or gifted player than Mehdi, but he can win. Yeah, I mean, it's, like I said, sledgehammer takes on the brick wall. You know, sometimes the brick wall gets smashed and broken, and sometimes the sledgehammer gets worn down and collapsed and falls apart. So that's what we're dealing with. That is the next match in an analogy. Miami starts on Thursday for the women and fright of the men. Sweet. Wait, hang on, doesn't really? Al Taylor, is that in Australia or is that in Miami time? Oh, that's in Miami time. That means I'm Thursday free. So it starts on Friday for me. Hell yeah. I thought I had only two days off. I get three days off. Chat, that's basically a holiday. Wells in Miami are known as a sunshine slam. Yeah, exactly. If you win them both, the sunshine double. Not many players have done it though. We're back in a set of goalless consistency and stay healthy and then she can be number one. Yeah, she'll get there. Or at least she'll, like these two ladies in Triantec, those three going for world number one every other week next year, I think would be a thing. I think she'll be on sex too far ahead right now. But maybe at the end of the year, maybe the start of next year, they'll all be playing for those top three spots and maybe rotating the number one a little bit. Sabalenka showed that she is still mentally vulnerable. Yeah, yeah. She's not quite out of this phase of her career yet. But she's, look, out of all the matches she's played, this is the worst one she's played. Now every other match she's played, she's been solid and then she's not quite, there's 99% there, right? And the 1% showed out today. Triantec doesn't have many points in the second half of the season, exactly. So she can play well on the clay to defend those points. She'll probably stay, if she stays 2,000 points ahead of Sabalenka by Wimbledon, then she'll probably, maybe 2,500 because Wimbledon's worth 2,000. But maybe if she stays over 2,000 points ahead of Sabalenka before, after the French, then I think she'll be fine for the rest of the year. But yeah, it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be really fun. This season got very interesting. And I mean, the men's season's getting interesting too. I mean, Djokovic comes back and Nadal comes back. I mean, we're talking about all this shit without the goats. I mean, that's how good this is right now. Tennis is so good right now without the goats. You put Djokovic and Nadal in the mix? I mean, we barely watched Rafa. Like Rafa's played like five matches, not even. Two matches in the United Cup and like two in Australia. Like two in Melbourne. Can you imagine? We haven't even seen Rafa yet. We've barely seen him. And Djokovic obviously strung open, but we've only seen him there. You know, he played Dubai, Lost to Medi and Adelaide obviously too. But I mean, yeah, Kirios, we haven't even watched one Kirios match yet. I mean, we've got so much to go, chap. But Tennis is so good without them so far. So it's like, we'll add them to the mix. It's only gonna get better. Only gonna get better. I don't know about you, chap, but I feel like, I feel like Tennis is having a bit of a resurgence. I don't know why. I don't think it's the Netflix documentary. I don't think they can take credit, but it just feels like Tennis is a little bit, like it's coming back a bit. Getting a little bit more juice and you know, it's getting a little bit more of a comeback, making a bit of a comeback. And who do you think, what do you think of Nori's top potential is? I think he's kind of get like he's almost hanging in there. Hey, what's going on, Mary? How you doing? I mean, Nori's probably at the Grand Slam semi-finalist, Master 1,000 champion. I mean, if he does nothing else, he's had a great career. Fulfilled his potential easily. As Cam says, Tennis always wins, yeah. No, Greg, I don't think we can take any credit for it. I think it's, we just watched so much Tennis that eventually when people come back to the game, we're here, you know, people can just join us. I don't think we can take any credit for that. Don't call it a comeback. Tennis has been here for years, that's it. Tennis needs to be on TV, full resurgence. I blame Osaka. I feel like big, big tournaments, like finals of big tournaments, like this should be on free to air. That would help Tennis a lot. Like the Indian Wells final being free to watch on television for like worldwide would be really helpful. If you put it behind a pay wall, people aren't gonna bother or people are gonna, casual fans are not gonna bother. But hey, look, it's getting there, it's getting there. Are we getting rain tonight? Ashley, there is potential of rain. All right, chat, I'm gonna send you over to the next one and we're gonna get this party started because Pink's in the house and that is a song that she sang. Accidentally punned that one. Go over there, talk amongst yourselves. Mehdi versus Khalidos, man. World number one ranking at stake for Carlos. Four titles in four weeks for Mehdi, which has never been done. History on the line. Someone's winning their first Indian Wells as well. And also I think Elkers is trying to become the youngest player to win the Sunshine Double in his career. The Sunshine Double in his career. So Mehdi's trying to win a tournament that he hates. Or at least a court that he hates on, you know? So go over there, talk amongst yourselves. I'll be back in about maybe about five, 10 minutes. We'll get our show on the road, but thank you for joining us. Man, Rabakina, 7664 beats Sabalinga, gets revenge from the Australian Open, gets her first win over Sabalinga too. And she is, if she's not one of the best players in the world, top three by the end of the year, that she must have got injured. But she wins this one, 7664, men's next.
