 what's going on welcome to Rafa's match Rafa vs McDonald the third match of the day for us on Rod Laver and also one of the only matches that are actually happening right now because it's raining it's still raining it's probably not gonna have we're probably not gonna get matches until I mean who knows we might not get any matches done today outside which sucks it definitely sucks but this is gonna be fun we're Rafa second on McDonald an opponent that you think he should probably beat there's nothing McDonald really I mean Draper Draper you could you could make an argument much more for Draper getting sets but McDonald unless Rafa plays bad I don't know if McDonald's gonna have anything that can trouble Rafa unless Rafa plays bad that is the big question let's get the preview because these guys have only played once before I think it was last year maybe last year or two years ago so here's the draw you can see there Rafa is got through in four but look at McDonald he got through in five against Nakashima out of the tough match and then the winner of this match is gonna play either a qualifier or the number 31 seed Nishioca in the second round if they do get through so a chance there for Rafa Nishioca look Rafa's got a good start after this round after that first round he's got a good you know a good little little draw now but it does get a lot harder because if he wins in his third round Tiafo fourth round awaits the rematch. McKenny McDonald number 65 in the world 27 year old from the USA 5.10 right handed two wins two losses on the year no title so his name but he has got you can see there couple of first second round losses this year first round last year to finish the year and also semi-final the end of last year which is which is good to see but look not a bad start to the start of the year couple of wins couple of us and Rafa Nadal world number two 36 year old from Spain he's six foot one left handed no titles this year but he has got 92 career titles and hasn't want to match this year until the Draper match that he played a couple of days ago zero and two is his record before this week and his round is his record over the last couple of matches is tournaments has not been great not been great we all know about the form problems to Rafa but he does have at least a win over Draper now there it is the one and only time they played was at Rafa's house on Rafa's court Roland Garros back in 2020 French open and McDonald won four games he got whoop he got bagled he got breadstick and then he won three games in the third set to make it feel a little bit less painful but that was brutal now McDonald has better chance on a hard court than on Rafa's backyard but it's still Rafa Nadal and it's still a task how did FAA go he's down a set point what is good excuse me 30 40 FAA about to lose the first set that's bad it's bad well I put Gula in the back in the background love to see it as she finished her match Felix about to lose the first set whoo also Kalanina won the first set against Kovitava on serving the second yeah we're keeping on Felix he's in trouble he is in trouble now I understand how she found sex food dilemma what do you mean Molchan won the first set oh no somebody say Netflix curse somebody say Netflix we're gonna have the Netflix sound effect how do we you know that boom boom we're gonna have that every time someone starts to lose hang on I don't know if we can play it this sound ready every time someone lose every time every time the sound of death oh no oh no it's coming for Felix it's coming for Felix oh no it almost got sacri today that Netflix that Netflix sound almost got hurt today all right let me add this to the soundboard I feel this is too good an opportunity not to take we're gonna watch we're gonna have this okay out comes Rafa with McDonald you can't you can rum but you can't hide that's it Netflix will always find you Netflix is out for everybody Kareena matches will start not for a while not for a while long way for it's 3 p.m. right now so 4 p.m. local time potentially well let me get this let me get this on the on the board all right Rafa's coming out ready to go but yeah f.a.a. in trouble all right welcome get rid of this one and we'll add in adding that Netflix because that's the noise that's the sound of death if you're if you're part of that documentary series I mean rude did it yesterday too I mean has anybody has anybody on that Netflix show had an easy match no they've all they've all had tough matches man you better shut your fuck okay calm down maybe you want in there oh no oh no Netflix has nothing to do with it no Netflix has everything to do with it sorry it does everything everything had to do with it no one is safe from the Netflix curse exactly exactly Netflix end of doom don't hear that same you hear that sound you run you hear that sound you run roof is going to be closed for the raffle match of course it is the curse by the way who else um who else has struggled with the by being on Netflix Sabra link is the only one left but she wasn't on the first season so that doesn't count rude was in a tough match yesterday who let who's out so we've got Kirios Tomanovic but also gone Baratini gone Zachary nearly left nearly lost today FAA's in trouble Fritz Fritz is in a is okay I mean what was his first round the Fritz winning straight sets or but I should Fritz he got through in four cock an arcus hasn't struggled yet but he was only part of the doubles and he he lost as Kirios lost or he withdrew so he kind of he wasn't really in there for his singles it was for his doubles and that got that got taken away so I mean that's already gone so it's already a thing just make it I'll put make it a red button so I can see it that's the sound of death you don't want to hear that sound we'll keep playing every time something bad happens for someone in that in that in that series okay Rafa's gonna serve first Rafa's gonna serve first greatest of all ties belt goat thanks for all you do cam hey thank you anonymous for the 20 appreciate it I wonder if Baratini went to the business center after he lost last night thank you wrote the door for five business what do you go to the business center okay Rafa's gonna serve first can Rafa be Joker not it not on a hard court not on a hard court not on a hard court why is the weather not shown alright FAA he's down a set we'll keep it on him Fritz can lose to Popper and maybe that could be tough there's warming up in the moment Halup was on it was she really I mean that I mean you have to be like interviewed for it I think Tiafone even Tiafone had a tough match he was kind of featured a little bit McDonald in four you reckon no McDonald's not gonna win a set I'm sorry I'm sorry McDonald ain't winning a set how does McDonald win a set Rafa has to play terrible if he wins a set if FAA loses most people most people that were in Sidney Pass's way are out okay maybe they will have trouble against Milman tonight okay look I would love to see Hitchick Carter in the next look I would love to see Hitchick Carter and Milman both beat Medvedev and Sidney Pass but I just don't think it's gonna happen because Hitchick Carter and Milman are both coming off five setters so I think they're gonna both struggle physically towards the end of that in their matches so I think I think Medvedev and Sidney Pass can both win in four sets maybe but probably three sets because I just don't think that I think that is they're gonna be too tired after an epic fire you know first round five set up both of those guys Sinner will be Sidney Pass okay Zachary's opponent was really annoying a really good but annoying that's what we saw okay it is warming up the serves and then we'll be ready to go no matches outside it's still raining Milman is fit five setter is nothing to him yeah but he's got to play five sets again against Medvedev I mean you think I mean again I just don't think it's gonna be like I think the Sidney Pass is probably more at risk Medvedev's too solid Medvedev beat Garen easily Milman is like Garen they're the same guy Milman and Garen are the same player so not Garen, Giron. Milman and Giron are very similar Medvedev didn't have a problem with Giron so I don't know if he's gonna have a problem with Milman I would love Milman to win though as an Aussie but I think I think Medvedev's gonna win is probably three three and three you use the Netflix sound of doom every time a challenge is used I'll keep playing it when FAA keeps getting beat here Medvedev has not been playing well after the Oz Open lost last year yeah okay but he also did you know but he just beat he just beat a guy that played exactly what the guys playing tonight really easily all right maybe it's me chat Medvedev win or lose tonight against Milman does Milman beat Medvedev or does Medvedev beat Milman who wins out of that match by my Sakri looking like she's gone to the press conference Median three wins in three many many many many in straight Medvedev wins Milman okay Medvedev six three six three six two many losers okay many wins easy easy win for Medvedev Medvedev obviously Medvedev Medvedev Medvedev obvious Medvedev easy Medvedev Medvedev straight sets 99% chance Medvedev Median three Median four now I could see Medvedev in four Median five okay Medi easy easy peasy Medi Medi Medi Medi yeah look we're all on the same page except for maybe two or three but I would love to see Milman put on a fight I just don't think he's gone to I think Sidney Patz has a harder task against his guy against Hitchikata okay Rafa to serve and he gets the first point 15 love what do you think the score is gonna be in this one I think this is gonna be straight sets I think it's gonna be three three and four or something of that kind of similarity kind of like Djokovic against Bayana that we saw yesterday I think we're gonna get just a raffa a routine raffa today I would be kind of shocked if Mackenzie McDonald pushed Rafa today just the styles don't match up 15 love serving at the point of McDonald's find out from Rafa it's long now Rafa as I said if Rafa plays bad then it's interesting but if Rafa plays Rafa Rafa wins 15 all 15 all by the way is FAA gonna win this run open or is he just losing like is he giving anyone any confidence I'm so worried for him is that Rafa shanks that one wide too bad forehands from Rafa to start 15 30 hey what's going on Ivan how you doing 15 30 Rafa serves Rafa serves into the back of the McDonald for now Rafa no McDonald hits it out 30 all 30 all as Rafa serves again first game of the match first of the fault second serve serve now Rafa the back of Mcdonald for now Rafa into the for the McDonald Rafa's backhand slice wow Rafa not moving his feet at all 30 40 Rafa's very bad start three errors 30 40 chance to get the break straight away McDonald and Rafa was just saying that someone has a light up the back it's over Rafa

played one good point that last point was good Rafa man the bad start forehand errors backhand footwork errors I mean yuck doesn't McDonald have potential to win no unless Rafa plays bad that's it and Rafa is playing bad so I mean I guess yeah maybe one love McDonald with the break McDonald three easy claps jock we just playing tomorrow come back then one love to McDonald now let's see how he serves because of course you can break serve but if you can't hold serve you can't do nothing one love McDonald takes his time in McDonald it's probably thinking geez this is easy it's too easy serve into the for the Rafa for now McDonald to the for the Rafa who hits it out again four errors from Rafa already or at least three forehand errors 15 love 15 love now it's cold today or it's raining

backhand of McDonald into the form of Rafa McDonald hits it out 15 all 15 all 15 all is Rafa serves trying to get on the board here not the strange match it's been a strange day you know the best players have not played well Zachary Svantech Pagula Felix Ozelia seam Rafa Sinner is the only one who's played well indoors but he's also a good indoor player remember this is an indoor match this is an indoor match there's a slice there down the line of the backhand of McDonald for now Rafa to the backhand of McDonald to the backhand of Rafa as McDonald the drop shot into the net 30 15 been a

40 15 40 15 Rafa serves again to get on the board Rafa steps up to serve Mulchan by the way he's up 3-2 in the second against Felix Rafa down the line with a win up bang that's Rafa to one that was Rafa much better from Rafa two games to one Rafa down a break down a break but at least on the board alright by the way in other news we've got Kalanina Kovitava they're in a tight battle in the second set and you know Mulchan's up a set and 3-2 on serve in the second against Ozealia Seem no matches outside until possibly 4 p.m. but could be later still raining still raining outside so yeah not really I'm probably not gonna be not gonna be any matches happening outside anytime soon what games watching tonight right a kind of golf that's on the card probably the match of the tournament so far in terms of hype that's the one right that is the one by the way I'm looking on the outside courts I don't think they're drying them up but they do look a little less I mean the cameras all squeak I got all marks over but okay I mean they don't look terrible maybe that stopped raining all right to one McDonald McDonald serves and the turn goes in the form of Rafa for now from McDonald get in the form of Rafa it's the backhand of McDonald for now from Rafa you know the backhand of McDonald but Rafa it's a long forehand Rafa that's the problem that's the problem 15 love that is a big problem 15 love serving the form of Rafa for now from McDonald get into the form of Rafa down the line to win it from Rafa okay that's back hey what's up Lana 15 all 15 all as we're just serving out down the T an ace from McDonald as he's fourth base already McDonald bloody hell McDonald hit naces but this is crazy huge serve down the T as we get a return now and a drop shot from McDonald Rafa gets with a flick McDonald with a lob Rafa with a volley it goes in McDonald on the baseline Rafa runs back point on the line McDonald in trouble when hits it out Rafa too good okay Rafa's back that was the Rafa point 30 all that was the first time Rafa did something that we're used to seeing Rafa do 30 all can he get it back that was clear I mean Rafa the lob was good as McDonald hits a serve down the T find out into the backhand slice of Rafa as we're to find out from McDonald down the line Rafa the poor and pass in the net McDonald not afraid to come to the net 40 30 40 30 40 30 is McDonald serves again watching you on mute because my my roommates are dead sleeping as McDonald serves another good server at 3 1 how are you watching us on mute there's nothing to watch if you're watching us on mute you it's important watching there's nothing happening it's like if you I mean the opposite how can you why would you watch this on mute you meant to watch the tennis on mute and then don't watch the video just listen to the audio put headphones on put headphones on open the roof right now I look they're not gonna open the roof now if it's shut it's shut it ain't opening halfway through no roof to be opened until the end of the match as we to return out of the front of Rafa back and out from McDonald slice the Rafa again at the back of McDonald that goes up to the sky Rafa puts away the smash love 15 love 15 love 15 love as we get a serve now from Rafa you sign language I don't know sign language I don't know how to sign 15 love molten up a break against Felix in the second oh no he's up a break that's scary by the way outside courts they're they're cleaning the courts they're cleaning the outside courts good news there's been a back end out of the front of Rafa from McDonald the front of Rafa get in the back end of McDonald McDonald's shanks it wide 30 love so outside courts there's a guy with a like a I don't know what he called it I know it's called it's like a vacuum cleaner for water or something a humongous leaf blower I don't know what that thing is I don't know what you call it but they're out there wiping the courts which is good news for everybody else the rolly thingy yeah it's more like a you know what it is a water vacuum cleaner sure we'll go with that well like Calanita is serving the match against Caviteva that's a big upset is we're a volley oh no wrapping the forehand long 30 15 30 15 Rafa tries to stay in touch yeah there's lights outdoors yeah they can play as late as late as they need to tonight if they have to they can you know as long as it doesn't rain if it rains then it's a problem but the lights not a problem they got they got plenty of plenty of light out there 30 15 it'll turn out from McDonald back in a wrap and McDonald goes down the line wrap with a pass in the net 30 all 30 all this is bad this is getting real bad for Rafa now 30 all Calanita beats Caviteva huge upset and great for Pagula because Pagula doesn't have to play Caviteva now that's a big win for Pagula the Caviteva's out that makes her job a little bit easier 30 all here serve now the forehand of McDonald sliced there from Rafa in the corner McDonald for never after on the stretch in the net again what is going on Rafa's not doing anything Rafa it's crazy he cannot hit forehand winners yeah Pagula big big plus for her now Caviteva's gone alright breakpoint McDonald bloody hell so Cragicova is probably the player that Pagula has to beat in the fourth round return out from McDonald Rafa forehand is good as McDonald hits a pass the rapper in the net what the hell is going on that was a bad play by Rafa he kind of like walked into the net Rafa's complaining the umpire this is not Rafa who is his imposter Rafa's complaining saying that he's complaining to the umpire saying that you're every time I try to get the towel Rafa's getting real pissed off at the time but I like the time time are going down quick and the umpire saying I'm trying to understand Rafa's pissed Rafa is not happy he's not happy that the umpire is not pausing the time when he goes to the towel which is what other umpires do for him or do for other players this umpire is not letting Rafa get away with anything today and Rafa's pissed I mean he's down for one two break to serve he's not playing well and he's obviously pissed off at that as well he's annoyed well and I think that's more that he's not playing well I don't think that's about the umpire it's no I think he's just saying that's a vent but man for one McDonald he's won more games in this set than he has in his own like his whole career against Rafa it's crazy this is crazy this is crazy all right for one McDonald now well how has this happened McDonald's playing really well let's give him a little credit serving really well hitting the ball really well I mean serving very well Rafa's playing like garbage Rafa is playing like garbage for one Rafa is making silly errors he's hitting terrible forehands he's just coming to the net like not really I mean not really doing any like he's very he just looks lost out there Rafa don't know what's going on the ball kid wipes down the sweat of the ground gross four one McDonald now McDonald can't serve any better I mean look at this 91% of first-serves in he's coming from a guy who's not known for his serving he's five foot ten he's not a big he's not this is not Sasha's there of this is not Taylor Fritz as we're to find out from McDonald in the net so I don't think I don't think I don't think McDonald can serve any better this is as good as he's going to serve and Rafa has everything to be everything to gain because he's not playing well but he's not anti-rotic but he's at the moment he's serving the best he's probably ever served in his whole life love 15 serving to the front of Rafa Rafa shanks it on the forehand another error he served like a beast against Nishio Nakashima okay I'll take your word for it we'll serve down to another ace bang five aces for McDonald he could serve like this for a while but how much longer how much longer can he serve like this by the way Felix in big trouble he's down six three five two as he says another ace McDonald what are you what is going on unbelievable unbelievable 40 15 40 15 McDonald serves a fault second serve second serve into the final raffa final from McDonald in the final raffa again to the former McDonald McDonald hits a wide 40 30 40 30 this is insane this is insane by the way big foe in the locker room we're in the behind the scenes 40 50 40 30 serve now at wide the front of raffa return the front of McDonald is wide McDonald with two bad forehands there and now reduce by the way it looks like the outside courts are about to get started in the next in the next 10 minutes let's go all right deuce looks like the rain might have stopped for now McDonald's serving he's up 4-1 with a double break serve now out wide at the back end of raffa falling out from McDonald again at the back end of raffa into the front of McDonald to the front of raffa on the stretch but McDonald hits it out three four hand errors from McDonald advantage raffa first break point of the day advantage raffa advantage raffa as mcdonald serves not serving has gone down since i said he can't serve like that forever that's a little it's just too good it's a little too good all right first there's a fault second serve second serve into the front of raffa forward from McDonald into the front of raffa raffa wide yeah gross deuce 25 minutes wait raffa has started slow and seems extra tired to me for some reason the killer parley is still alive felix looking alike he might get upset i think hey thank you zack for the 12 appreciate that yeah raffa does look slow i just love that you might be just shocked at the hell good mcdonald has served as mcdonald hits a wide advantage raffa i feel like if you're gonna take raffa it should be now advantage nadal uh yeah felix is just screwing everything up he's down two sets of love felix he's down two sets of love f a a is down two sets of love advantage nadal serve out wide is a left serve out wide is a left not the serve coming up from mcdonald serve goes down the back end of raffa return to the 400 mcdonald raffa gets us right with the forehand down the line mcdonald with the volley that's in the net raffa gets back one of the brakes raffa gets one back what is felix doing he's getting some moked he's getting whooped mc by the way mochan played a five setter against um played a five setter against stan doesn't look like it looks like felix played a five setter he's getting absolutely smoked by the way the rain started again so that sucks four two raffa gets one back score on felix is caught six three six three four and now from raffa in the back end of mcdonald volley from raffa as mcdonald hits it in the net and raffa puts it away though this is gonna be it must have just gone over the net because raffa just reflexed it in also didn't mochan take uh save match points against stan and win the match i'm pretty sure he saved match points too right nice volley from raffa first little fist bump there 15 loves serving the back end of mcdonald four now raffa into the front of mcdonald four now raffa to the back end of mcdonald into the front of raffa mcdonald forehand down the line to the front of raffa the back end of mcdonald again to the front of raffa into the front of mcdonald raffa's forehand cross court mcdonald gets at the back end into the front of raffa back end of mcdonald again to the front of raffa as mcdonald hits back on the stretch raffa forehand is wide 15 all 15 all 18 shot rally ending with an error it's been the story of the day so far 15 all it's been a weird day it's been a weird day for the seeds sin is the only one who survived uh without really taking uh without really playing that bad he's the only one who looked good today as we default from raffa second serve 15 all and we feel like speaks for itself raffa speaks for itself triante didn't look great but she got through pagula the same a bit of a gone sacri lucky it's been a brutal day under the roof for the seeds there's been a fine out of the backhand of mcdonald find out raffa again to the back end of mcdonald into the back end of raffa mcdonald forehand again to the front of raffa in the back end of mcdonald find a backhand as mcdonald goes again to the raffa forehand into the back end of mcdonald raffa with a fine down the line now mcdonald gets with a fine pass raffa slices it just in into the front of mcdonald raffa all mcdonald the winner no way this is gonna be our biggest TV roll he can't miss 15-30. McDonald's 20 shot rally winner. Crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. All right 15-30 by the way Tiafo coming up next. He's also part of Netflix so let's see what happens. 15-30. Served into the back to the forehand of McDonald's, now from Rafa as a winner. That's a forehand. That's a bloody forehand. 30-all. 30-all. What does this sound like? It doesn't sound as scary. Geez. The curse is real. 30-all. Served into the forehand of McDonald's. Returned to the forehand of Rafa. And Rafa hits a winner again on that forehand side. Okay. Forehand starting to work. 40-30. Back, back. 40-30. That's Rafa's fifth forehand winner. He's hit about the same amount of errors but slowly getting there. 40-30. Served into the forehand of McDonald's. Back in at Rafa. Into the forehand of McDonald's. Rafa with the forehand. No. McDonald's hits it out. 4-3. McDonald's still has the break but Rafa staying in touch. Okay. What are this? I sent a little too. It's a little too much. That's creepy. All right. I can't stand FAA's grunts. Okay. So cool watching behind the scenes stuff before the matches on ESPN plus. I love it. I love that too. It's so cool to see like the players win the match and leave as well. Rafa later in his career has started to play his way into these best of fives. Rafa's relentless intensity eventually grinds most opponents down and usually Rafa has a massive crowd advantage. Thank you. Ready for the 10. Yeah. You're not wrong. By the way, Rafa had no problems with Americans until like recently, right? Hasn't he lost to his last like, what is it? Like he's lost the TR for Fritz, Paul and now McDonald. So he's got a problem with American players for some reason. I don't know why but it just seems like he's, I want to see what he's recorded against Americans. I want to see what he's recorded against Americans because I think he dominated them like Americans for a while. Yeah. He's lost his last three matches against Americans. Fritz to the ADB finals. In fact, last year he was seven and seven wins, Paul lost against Americans. He lost to Fritz twice. He lost to Paul. He lost to TR for he beat isn't a quarter. Coslov Kudla who both were lucky losers. He beat Opelka and he beat Tommy Paul once out of the two times they played but Rafa's record against Americans in his last, he's lost his last three. Four of his last six against Americans he's lost. So I mean, for some reason he just doesn't play well against Americans right now. In his career, get this, before this last year, he had only lost 10 matches to Americans. He lost four last year. 84 wins, 14 losses overall in his career. So Rafa doesn't lose to Americans. And last year he lost four of them or he lost four of them. Rafa hit the table, goes over, gets lucky, 30-15. Very lucky from Rafa. Rafa went five years without losing to an American. He went five years between losses to Americans. You can name the names. I mean, guess the Americans that have beaten Rafa. You can name names. There's not many. In fact, there's only like six or seven. As we're back in the back end rally, Rafa now with the forehand into the back end of McDonald. 30-15 here is Rafa to find again at the back end of McDonald. Into the front of Rafa who hits the down line and long, 40-15. Rafa looks up at the roof and goes, oh, we're indoors. Maybe that's why. Name, let's name, let's play. Oh, we've ever done this for a minute. It's a trivia time. One name at a time. Let's see if we can name all the Americans that Rafa has lost to in his career. So about why the back end of Rafa, McDonald comes in with a forehand. Rafa with a pass. McDonald puts away the volley. Five-three McDonald. Five-three McDonald. Andy Roddick. Yes, he lost to Andy Roddick twice. Once in Dubai in the quarterfinals back in 2008. And at the US Open in 2004, he lost to Andy Roddick, did Nadal. He also lost to James Blake three times. US Open 2005. Indian Wells 2006. And Masters Cup, or the AWP Finals in 2006 as well. Of course, we've already talked about Andy Roddick in Miami as well in 2010. He lost to Johnny's, he's lost to Johnny's the once back in the Labour Cup. Who else? Tommy Paul last year. Yep. He lost to Tommy Paul last year. He lost to Fritz twice last year. He hasn't lost to Jack Sock. Hasn't lost to Jack Sock. Marty Fish. Yeah, he lost to Marty Fish. Good pick up. He lost to Marty Fish back in Cincinnati in 2011. What was in the tournament that Fritz Fish got to the final and withdrew? And then the documentary came out about it. 15 love here. No, he didn't lose it. He didn't lose to Agassi. Not Juniperi. He didn't play Samperis. Didn't play Serena. He's going to return now from McDonald, but he goes long. 30 love. No, he hasn't lost to Steve Johnson. He lost to Tiafo. Tiafo. Quarry. Yeah, he did lose to Quarry back in 2017. Acapulco final. Interesting. There's one player that no one's going to get. But you can try. You're going to have to think American back in the early 2000s. American from the early 2000s. That's not very well known. Not very super high in the rankings. Only maybe Americans would know this. Not tennis sangrin. 30 love. Serena at the back of McDonald. Slice there from Rafa into the volume of McDonald. In the net. 40 love. Not Jimmy Connors. No, not Michael Chang. I think early to mid 2000s. No, not Robbie Kendrick. I think didn't Kendrick take him to five at one point? I think he did, right? Kendrick took Rafa to five at Wimbledon, but not a win. Almost got him. Two sets of love up. 40 love. Let's see if anyone knows anyone knows their American tennis from 2003 to five. Not Courier, not Goldstein. 40 love. But I'll give you a clue. It was way back before Rafa was even Rafa. Let's get it back in now from Rafa into the form of McDonald and McDonald hits a winner. No, not one of the Bryan brothers. Good answer though. Not one of the Bryan brothers though. No, not Agassi. Not Michael Russell, but it's not a bad answer. But not Michael Russell. Not Marty Fish. He did lose to Marty Fish. Not James Blake. We've already said James Blake. It's going to be a tough one. I might have to just tell you. After this game, 40-15. Not Ram. Not Taylor Dent. Good answer though, but not Taylor Dent. That was a good answer though. Not Peter Corder. Not Genevry. And again, Genevry's a good answer, but not Genevry. Oh, someone's got it. Someone got it. Todd Woodbridge is Australian. Not Todd Martin. Okay, return there for McDonald goes wide. 5-4 McDonald. Rafa stays alive. Who got it? Sir, while Wailsy said Spadia. It was Vincent Spadia, which is a very, very niche name. But if you know American tennis and you followed American tennis, you probably have heard of him before. His best ranking was 18 in the world. So not, like I said, when I was saying like, good answer for Genevry, it's sort of the similar, right? I think Genevry might have done better, but he lost to Vincent Spadia back in Madrid when it was a hard-court event, 2004. So we've got Roddick Spadia, Blake, Fish, Query, Isner, Fritz, Tiafo, Paul. And if McDonald wins, he'll be the 10th player from America to beat Rafa Nadal. There's only nine players on that list in his entire career, Rafa. This could be the 10th. Good answers, everybody. That was good. Trivia time back and we're back. All right now, McDonald's 7 for the first set. He's got to win three sets. Remember that though. He's got to win three sets first, right? Show in love for my fave stream. Thanks for inspiring me. Hey, thank you, Rising Rhino for the two. Appreciate it. 5-4. Let's see if he can get a set. He's won more games in this set that he has in his entire Rafa, aversing Rafa career. Does that make sense? Nope. When he played Rafa last time, he only won four games in three sets. You know what I want to know? I want to know if Rafa is lost to American at a slam. Maybe once, maybe Roddick was the only one. Bonus question. 5-4. 5-4. That's a bit of a turn out. And Tiafo obviously lost you, right? As that goes wide from Rafa, 15 love. Oh, this is interesting. Very interesting. 15 love. Serve is a let. Because obviously playing Rafa at a slam is a different thing. You get Rafa. You beat Rafa at a slam. That's different. There's a slice there from Rafa that goes into the back of the McDonald's. And McDonald's hits it wide. McDonald's thought Rafa hit it wide, but Hawkeye said no. Hawkeye said no. 15 all. Also, I'm looking at the outside courts. It looks like they're getting a shiny again. So, play on the outside courts is not going to resume any time soon, unfortunately. Still raining. Still pouring. There's been a serve now in the backhand of Rafa. 4-nab from McDonald. Into the 4-nab Rafa. Into the 4-nab McDonald. Rafa with a 4-hand on the stretch. McDonald. 4-hand. Again to the 4-nab Rafa. McDonald's 4-hand. Again to the Rafa. 4-hand. Rafa not hitting the ball deep. He does this time. Now with the backhand. Cross court. McDonald. 4-hand on the stretch in the net. 15-30. Why does this feel familiar? Who was... What? Was there an American recently that was up against Rafa and then lost the first set by beating up a double break? I want to say it was Tommy Paul and someone in Acapulco maybe. No, Tommy Paul was up in the second set. That's what I'm thinking, right? Tommy Paul was up like 4-1 in the second against Rafa last year and then Rafa came back one tiebreak. As McDonald gets to 30-all. Is that what I was thinking? He was there and quarter as well. That's right. I thought it was... Yeah, quarter in Indian Wells. Quarter was up like 5-1 in the fifth, right? The third, right? But what about Tommy Paul as well, right? The same thing. Yeah, quarter. Yeah, quarter final set. But it was a Paul second set as well where Rafa was up. Rafa was down bad and Paul was... Then Rafa came back. I feel like it was twice. Anyways, 4-hand now from Rafa 30-all. 4-hand now into the backhand slice of Rafa. Into the 4-hand of McDonald. Again to the backhand of Rafa. McDonald to 4-hand. Into the 4-hand of Rafa. Passing shot is down the line winner. That's Rafa. Rafa doing Rafa things finally. 30-40 at the right time. That's clutch. That's goat. That's goat things. That's goat things. 30-40. Lovely 4-hand down the line. Rafa 30-40 to get back on serve here. 30-40 serve. Into the backhand of Rafa who shanks it to the roof. Unbelievable. Deuce. Rafa just mishit that completely. Serve McDonald to the backhand of Rafa. 4-hand McDonald is into the 4-hand of Rafa. Rafa in the net. McDonald's got a set point. McDonald's got a set point to take the first set against Nadal. Players under the roof today. They're struggling. They are struggling. Serve into the 4-hand of Rafa. Backhand of McDonald. Into the backhand of Rafa. Into the 4-hand of McDonald. Rafa. 4-hand. Into the 4-hand again of McDonald. To the 4-hand of Rafa. McDonald with the 4-hand again. Rafa with the backhand slice. McDonald in control. 4-hand. Into the 4-hand of Rafa with the stretch. McDonald gets the first set. 6-4. Wow. 6-4 McDonald. 6-4 McDonald. First set goes to McDonald. Rafa in trouble. Woo. Now, Rafa fans, there is hope because McDonald really just hung on to the set of the end. It was a great start from McDonald. Bad start from Rafa. But Rafa was better in the second half of that set. I would say Rafa was a slightly better player than McDonald. McDonald blew Rafa off the court early, but that was where he needed that double break, didn't he, McDonald? So, I wouldn't worry too much about Rafa in this second set. Now, if he goes down a break in the second, then sound the alarm. Then sound the alarm. Not too worried, Rafa will come back. There you go. Familiar territory. By the way, this is the first time Rafa has lost the first set this year. He won the first set in all the other matches. But not in this one. He's going to have to fight from a set down. Now, Rafa at Grand Slam level has only ever lost to three Americans. Tiafo, Blake and Rodik. He's won 31 and lost three when he plays Americans at this level. But he has played five setters against Americans. He played a five setter against Fritz at Wimbledon last year. He played a five setter in 2015 against Smychec in the Australian Open. That was insane. I remember watching that. That was crazy. Rafa won 7-5 in the fifth. Isner, Roland Garros, five setter there. And also Kendrick at Wimbledon in 2006 with a five setter as well. So, Rafa doesn't play many five sets against Americans. But when he does, it's usually a little unexpected. It's usually very unexpected. I mean, French Open, Isner, five sets. Who thought that? So, this is another shock. Another shock potential long match. McDonnell will cramp. Is he noted cramp? Rafa's not baritaining. Okay. McDonnell looks composed. Yeah, he does. I mean, he won that set. He just kind of shook his fist. He didn't really celebrate that much, which is the sign of someone who knows the job's not done, which is good. If you're gone for McDonnell, it's great. Let me have a look at the, is anything being updated for the weather? I don't think the weather, they say it might, they might be coming back in, but it's rainy again. So, I don't think they're going to come back anytime soon. Anyways, 6-4 McDonnell. Anything can happen? Yeah. Yeah, so, okay. So, just to clarify, and I'll clarify quickly. If you start a match under the roof, or if they close the roof during your match, you then have to finish the match under the roof. So, the roof is not going to open until tonight, if they open it tonight. But for this match, if it goes indoors, it stays indoors. So, this match will stay indoors for the entirety of the match. 6-4 here, as we have a four-end winner from McDonnell again. Love 15. McDonnell's not done yet. FAA's down two sets. What's your say? I have nothing to say except for this. The worst sound in the world, if you're a tennis player. Love 15. Serve it while the backhand of McDonnell for now, Rafa. Has McDonnell put up a lob? Rafa puts down the smash. McDonnell gets it. Rafa puts a smash in the net. Rafa smashes it in the net. Love 30. Love 30. Rafa with a smash in the net. That is a bad smash. Uncharacteristic smash from Rafa. The Netflix Reaper. That's it. It's the Netflix Reaper. That's it. Love 30. Serving the net. Second serve. Second serve. Served into the backhand of McDonnell for now, Rafa. Into the backhand of McDonnell. Again to the front of Rafa. Backhand of McDonnell. Again to the front of Rafa. The backhand of McDonnell. Rafa's four-hand. Down the line. McDonnell gets with his own forehand. Rafa's slice. goes in to the backhand of McDonnell, again to the front of Rafa. That goes down the line for Rafa. Good shot. McDonnell gets it. Backhand of Rafa. Down the line again. Rafa coming to the net with a backhand slice now he goes backwards. Oh, no McDonald's gonna win this point back in a four-hand rally as we're gonna find ever Rafa cross-court into the backhand McDonald Again, the phone Rafa on the stretch McDonald gets it with a forehand back in a rapper down the line in the net What I tell you what I friggin tell you this is gonna be all finished. What did I tell you I? Said it was gonna lose the point because he backtracked He should have gone to the net He got halfway and he went oh no no no and he ran backwards and he lost the point love 40 He should have run to the net. He was closer there soon. He started running back You know someone's gonna lose the point mev it does it all the time Love 40 McDonald with a shout bad bad from Rafa Even McDonald's laughing. He's like yeah, you stuff that up Love 40 Rafa serves Out wide McDonald returns and it goes in rabbit of the 360 as we have four hundred from McDonald raffle the slice now McDonald forehand into the front of raffa McDonald with another forehand into the back end of raffa to the 400 McDonald Again to the front of raffa McDonald with a forehand down the line now to the back in a raffa in the net. There's a break There's the break One love in the second McDonald now you can start panicking crazy crazy He's just making bad shot selections raffa like he's not reading the play He's not playing well, and he's not He's not reading the ball or reading the play at all This is cursed Lovely hitting from McDonald though credit to him raffa to make it too many errors All the errors Okay One love McDonald Raffa is is old expecting him to win is just dumb at this point What expecting him to win matches or expecting him to win the title? This match looks rigged this match doesn't look rigged any updates on the other matches are No match no matches happening. It's still raining the matches won't be on it's raining raining raining It's raining Yeah, I didn't pick raffa to win the title. I said I said raffa was gonna lose Did I say it check did I say it last year or the this start of the year? I think it like the end of last year. I said I don't think raffa's gonna win like he's not gonna win this round open He's probably gonna lose in the I Said he might lose early. I didn't think he'd lose in the second round though I thought when he when I said earlier, I thought he'd lose like fourth round Maybe if you got a bad draw love 15 nice shot there from raffa Love 15 Love 15 is McDonald serves. You said he might lose in the first week Yeah Thank You Greg's for backing me up At least one person remembers Just not making it up. There's gonna find out a foreign rally raffa goes to find a McDonald and that goes in from McDonald 15 all Yeah, raffa losing a t-arfo is getting like in the if raffa makes it through this T-arfa was a big big threat If he wasn't already t-arfa was a real big big threat, but if t-arfa loses That's great for raffa, but Yeah, look raffa hasn't lost this match. I mean raffa's down a set in a break It's way too early to call raffa out. It's way too early to call raffa done Way too early 15 always got a foreign ever raffa in the back end of McDonald again to the back end of raffa as McDonald's back hand Into the form of McDonald's the back end of raffa back into forehand as raffa goes again to the back end of McDonald You know the form of raffa to the back end of McDonald as Raffa's falling goes down the line McDonald with the form of the stretch gets it back end out from raffa sliced McDonald back end into the form of raffa again to the back end of McDonald, but raffa hits it long 30 15 30 15 17-shot rally and Raffa's losing them.

He's throwing his hands in the air having a massive talk Raffa's pissed off today Serve out why the former McDonald a foreign raffa raffa did out two love To love McDonald in the second Remember there's only three players that have beaten raffa At Grand Slam level from the United States of America There are only three players to do it one of them is wearing a hideous shirt the other two Legends of American tennis in the last 20 two decades And now maybe McTenton McDonnell wants to put his name on the list Has an American ever beaten raffa in straight sets at a slam? That's a question One only one American has beaten raffa in straight sets at a slam and that was Andy Roddick Back before raffa was raffa 2004 When Andy Roddick was the king and raffa was a clay quarter that From Spain that nobody really knew As raffa hit the volley 15 love so if mccansey mcdonnell wants to be in the Wants to be Andy Roddick. He's gonna he's serving like him He's gonna have to win this is straight sets Don't put that in the universe. Hey look. I'm just giving you the fact you guys Don't just come here to I mean you don't know why you come here, but uh When you do come here I want to make sure I give you some piece of information to leave with I was going to find a fine rally raffa to the back end of mcdonald for now from raffa, but mcdonnell hits it out Roddick was never the king. He was What is this american fixation was playing an american 30 love 30 love and this raffa serves a fault Second serve one hour played second serve raffa It's a double fold Double fold stealthy says this guy came back from two sets of love down against mevvedev at this on this on this court exactly We're a long way from two sets of love down. Don't worry people. We're a long way but i'm just saying mccansey mcdonald is tracking To do something. The only one man is number four from his country.

What he told him out Stop talking nonsense Stop stop. You're in denial Roddick was the king. He was number one in the world. What are you talking about? If you're a number one in the world, you're the king of tennis for at least a week Anyways mcdonald with a drop shot 40 30 Drop shot there from mcdonald great As we're serving out from raffa trying to get on the board again It's been weird. It's a weird day No one's played well if you're uh ceded Unless your name is yannick sinner. Maybe he's winning the whole thing Maybe he'll win Long live the king. Yeah, look Roddick was the king and then and then Roger Federer came along him Like scar and the lion king said a long live the king and threw him off a mountain anyways Savage for true Winner there from mcdonald deuce You know the scene you know the scene he grabs the thing he's like long live the king and he throws him off the mountain Andy Roddick was Mufasa for like a month and then And then Roger Federer came out And was like get off my throne get out of my kingdom This is my house and he stayed there for like seven years And then raffa went can I sit there now, please?

I already had my rations of junk food today I don't know where you are, but that sounds terrible that you have to ration junk food Then again, you're probably healthier than me. That's big time to hit the winner Here I am just like I I just eat junk food all the time because I'm just I've just got my diet shut if you knew what I ate chat you would be like a poll You'd probably be wondering how I'm still alive ration of junk food sounds really strict I don't know if I can do that The more I stream the less I eat though.

Another nice shot at the net 30 love 30 love mulchamp fallen apart He's up two sets of one, but he's in trouble and on serve Great volley there from raffa So looks like at least mertens has entered the building As we're falling now from raffa down the line of the four mcdonald back in a raffa sliced Into the form of mcdonald again to the form of raffa who puts in the net 30 15 Comic relief seem to help raffa Yeah deb the moment you made that joke It's all it's all gotten better Broke the tension of the chat too because I feel like the chat was getting a little bit on edge 30 15 mcdonald serves Sorry raffa serves mcdonald returns A forehand going into the form of raffa back in our mcdonald Again to the form of raffa. It's the back end of mcdonald for now raffa down the line mcdonald stretch hits a wide raffa 40 15 To get in front for the first time today 40 15 Why are men playing and no women?

It's in the net 40 30 40 30 What was the joke? It's one of those kind of beat out to be there kind of moments Wouldn't be funny if I if I explained it kind of to be there Let's rewind the stream for like 20 minutes and you'll find it 40 30 Raffa stay get back in front. We'll get in front FAA by the way up a set, uh, sorry down two sets of one, but up a break In the fourth and raffa stays who gets back in front This is gonna be our biggest or at least gets in front for the first time today three two Okay chat. How we doing? What's up? How are we feeling now chat? How are we feeling now raffa fans? Are you feeling a little better? Were you never in doubt? Start to worry about big foe Yeah, I mean he's wearing that outfit again I'm what I'm worried The indoor courts aren't helping raffa getting the ball high out of mcdonald's hitting range true But also the balls in general. I think they don't bat. They don't get as much spin raffa said So if you can't get that much spin Then how's he gonna be able to hit? It's uh, you know How's he gonna be able to use that spin to his advantage? Uh raffa is pouring with sweat. Yeah Yeah raffa is back He's back. He's in front Tiafo is cooking. Yeah, he's up five three big foe, but it's uh He's he's he's working hard for it Yeah flat hitting from mcdonald. Yep fAA is complaining about the ball quality Both felix and raffa hate the ball quality, but what do they have in common? Raffa's reigning as well. Yeah, that wasn't the joke, but that's yeah Tiafo's playing against uh Sang shong shong. I think his name is Chinese player What's the problem with raffa's forehand? Well, he's not getting as much top spin as you you know what it might be. You know what chat How about this for a theory? Hear me out Hear me out. How does this sound for a theory? Raffa complained at the start of the tournament that his forehand Didn't get that much spin because The balls are really really they're not great. They he hates the tennis balls He says that they can't produce enough spin for his liking Do you think the raffa's forehand is so off and again hear me out Because raffa's trying to overcompensate trying to hit more spin and try and really whip the ball That is shanking it He's trying to go he's trying to hit trying to hit with too much spin because he's trying to overcompensate For the lack of ball the spin on the ball naturally What do you reckon? Do you reckon that's something that maybe he's missing a lot of forehands because he's just trying to Trying to go for too much spin Which is also something that maybe you know Yeah, he's a he's a he did complain about the balls. I mean You reckon that could be it that could be something maybe that his forehand is not working very well because he's trying to Trying to spin it too much to overcompensate for the shitty balls possible It's just a theory Just a theory. Anyways mcdonald love 30 watch out Sounds reasonable. Okay. Just I mean just a thought. I mean I I mean casper rude was doing a raffa forehand last night and he was in trouble Felix is in trouble now. He relies on top spin So the guys who have need top spin to win matches They might be struggling a little more Maybe the flatter hitters are the ones to watch out for in this event Because the balls might favor the flatter the flatter hitters Love 30 here as raffa looks to get the break and lead for With a break for the first time back in now from mcdonald the slice of raffa into the slice of mcdonald Again to the forehand of raffa as we're back in now from mcdonald Get to the forehand raffa into the backhand of mcdonald to the forehand raffa mcdonald backhand Get to the forum raffa into the back and mcdonald on the stretch raffa in control here But he shanks it into the form of mcdonald get to the form of raffa at the backhand of mcdonald Into the form of raffa down the line mcdonald on the stretch puts it cross court slice raffa mcdonald backhand Again to the form of raffa mcdonald with the forehand cross court raffa the slice what a rally raffa in the net Great rally from mcdonald 15 30 Who are the flatter hitters? Uh mevadev i'll say i'll put mevadev in that flat hitter I mean sydney pass Is not a flat hitter so we'll see if that If he struggles because he relies on a lot of spin I wonder sydney pass will be someone who struggles, but i would say i would say mcdonald mcdonald uh mevadev is a flat hitter um Let me check who else i mean elcores would have been Would have been probably would have loved this conditions because he hits the ball real flat All right backhand now 15 30 still a chance for raffa to get a break and lead here is We'll get another backhand a forehand that goes wrong uh long from raffa uh rublev Rublev looked really good yesterday flat hitter runa Another one who smacks the crap out of the ball Uh her catch i would consider a pretty flat hitter nori obviously the flat hitter as well Maybe sydney as well sydney does whip the ball pretty hard though. I mean he does get a A flat hitter is someone who hits the ball with not that much topspin Who doesn't rely on topspin to win you know doesn't need that much spin del potro right he was a flat hitter 40 30 rba yeah Again, we don't know. I mean maybe this maybe i mean baratini lost yesterday and he's a flat hitter so It's not gonna work for everybody, but Yeah, i mean maybe look at someone like a rublev or a Mevvedev or You know those kind of guys see how they do in their matches compared to someone like raffa who's struggling and rude Who's struggled so far back in now from raffa from uh mcdonald to the foreigner raffa again to the foreigner raffa going into the backhand mcdonald raffa forehand is wide Just hit the tape And it's three three Just when you think raffa's gonna do something he's just just not not right now Three games all okay mcdonald survives felix by the way He is up two sets he's down two sets to one, but he's up a break in the fourth. So he's trying to come back From the brink as raffa serves again Outside courts it looks like a might have stopped raining so We'll keep an eye on the outside courts. There might be some play soon They seem to be wiping practicing on outside court. So Let's see Serving at the back of mcdonald for now raffa into is out. Oh god Advantage love 15 by three love FAA in the fourth See how far he's got set point only three matches on today and it looks like it's Stopped raining. So that's half a sign love 15 Raffa serves a fault Second serve Second serve big foe won the first set by the way Serving the back of mcdonald mcdonald on the net 15 all 15 all is Raffa tries to stay in front It's been a tough day for raffa to stay in front. He hasn't been in front much today And someone I'll get we still hasn't been in front because he's down a set 15 all is raffa Serves Lana. Yeah, I follow for the one Casually very casually There's a lot of people in the chat. I think for f1 When does that start? It starts in march, right? 15 all is Raffa serves the fault second serve Into the form of mcdonald for now raffa the form of mcdonald Into the slice of raffa mcdonald forehand Into the net He wasn't doing that early mcdonald. So he might have just slowed down a little now. Remember mcdonald played a five-set match in the first round So he might He might get tired He played five sets against nakashima and that match went for four hours So mcdonald might be a little tired if this match keeps going on longer longer longer Yet drive to survive season five is coming out 24th of feb I know right how good's that? That's that's two days after my birthday Well, I'm not I don't know what I'm doing for my birthday I'm binging netflix As the backhand winner from mcdonald 30 all great shot. This is going to be our finish TV run Great shot down the line from mcdonald 30 all And that was just just on the line 30 all By the way, I think they broke the sign at uh The net post in the tfo match. What the hell should I watch drive to survive? Yeah, you should it's awesome It's really good If you don't watch f1 like me. I didn't watch f1 and I watched it. I'm like, uh I need to know more about this It's great raffa by the way still complaining about the time Saying like hey if I could get my towel, you're gonna pause that clock. It's like raffa. You don't make the rules, mate I'm sorry You got to obey the rules And some coat. I mean some umpires are like, well, there's there are different rules for raffa. Let's be honest because the rule I don't think the rule says if you're going to the towel The clock is paused. I think it's as soon as the point ends You've got a certain amount of time to get to the next serve Even if you have to get the towel, that's too bad But there are different rules for the goats 40 30 Shapo was right Shapo was right But no, it's look Look The rule came out when the ball kids gave the towels So maybe they should change the the shot clock to allow for five seconds extra To allow for players to go get their own towel Because pausing the clock is an easy way to cheat Because you pause the clock for 20 seconds. You had an extra 20 seconds. You know what I mean? Like, you know, it doesn't think it doesn't take you 20. It shouldn't take you 20 seconds extra if you pause the clock Yeah, I think they should just look Add five extra seconds or whatever And that way players Should it can't manipulate the system not saying the wrapper is I'm just saying that It keeps it fair and honest, you know If you want why have a shot clock if you're not going to use it, right? Or don't have a shot clock until The towels can be given back Reduce here by the way But this umpire was really strict and now she's like Giving raffer a lot of leeway because he told her off Raffer's not the But raffer's not the umpire the umpire needs to stand to ground As we're going to back in now from mcdonald into the fauna raffa into the back end of mcdonald Again to the 400 volley of raffa and raffa in the net. Wow. That was a hesitation volley In the net Advantage mcdonald The umpire is not not nice. Nobody sweats as much as raffa. He literally dripping all over court. Okay As I said, I get you know add add some extra seconds That's too bad if you sweat too much. I mean that's that's What's that's not fair for the rest of the players well about the players that don't sweat I don't know You know serve now at why the back end of mcdonald returned the back end of raffa. That's a half volley and it's out. Wow raffa smacks the ball in the net whoa That's as angry as raffa gets Too bad a net approaches from raffa and now it's for three mcdonald All right for three In my opinion the towels The towel boys and girls should Be back. I mean covet is over now Yeah, I mean covet's not not over but it's here. It's here to stay but like Yeah, I mean It is gross, but why was it so why was it so why wasn't it gross before covet? Why didn't they stop doing it before covet? Why is it now a thing? It's probably like the lines people right as soon as we went to automatic line calls. We've never gone back really You know as soon as as soon as we had automatic calls Most tournaments haven't gone back So it might be something that is here to stay But if it's here to stay they've got to they've got to change the rules for the for the line for the time Got to change the clock Why the matches stopped? It's raining kids used to have the towel off sweat from the court Still they still have to yeah, they still have to do that Grab a sweats on the ground The ball kids have to wipe the sweat off the ground. I mean that's still pretty gross, right? Federer's complaining about the time to get a towel too. Yeah, that's where it started I think Federer and Nadal Djokovic all complained that they had to go get a towel And the umpires started pausing the clock But that's the thing there's no point in having a shot clock if you're gonna pause it because that could add that adds time Some players are gonna have a pause for 10 seconds some players are gonna have a pause for two seconds some we're gonna have it for 15 You can't judge how long It takes to get a towel I could run and get the towel. I could walk and get the towel Rafa by the way really pissed off there Did he hurt himself? No, he's all right. Jesus. Anyways, love 15 false alarm. He's fine 15 love here Rafa just pissed off How much should they add? I don't know five seconds Because that way at least the shot clock is a thing I don't think we've had a time violation for a long time. I haven't I don't remember the last time we had one I can't remember the last time I heard time violation warning. Mr. Mr. Whoever misses miss whoever Well, so why is why did I feel like the wta never have time violations? Anyone else get that vibe? Have the wta got the same rule? Anyways winner down the line Rafa pulling up short. Oh, no. Oh, no And this is not a false alarm Rafa is hurt Rafa's got a bad something Rafa hurt himself Rafa just hurt himself Rafa is hurt and this is not a false alarm. I think it might be a hip Rafa pulled up really short and he's not even oh, no Oh, no McDonald hit an ace Rafa didn't even try and move Rafa's walking around bad Rafa's hurt McDonald serves two aces and Rafa doesn't even try Rafa is limping Rafa is limping Rafa is limping five three McDonald Rafa just asked for the trainer Rafa asked for the trainer. Is he gonna get in now? He's gonna get the trainer now That's even worse because he can't even serve Rafa's getting the trainer McDonald runs to the chair that that's that's funny Rafa is hurt five three. He's down to a set and a break The physio has been called. I think Rafa hurt his hip I think it's his left hip or or it's it's um It's his uh Side, you know, he's he's side Rafa looks teller. He looks sad. He looks Devastated Ralph I The way Rafa looks right now I think he might pull out It's either his hip or his abs because He grabbed that side, but he's limping. So you think it's his hip probably If he's limping it shouldn't be an ab problem. Let's see what happened. They're gonna show the replay He moved out to hit a forehand He then ran out to hit another forehand on the stretch Oh, it was you know when I when I said that he was when I said that he actually Was angry He that's when he hurt himself And that's why he was angry I think he hurt his I think it was his I think it's his hip Or it's his high. It's his quad Something to do his left leg When he ran out to a forehand he kind of like Stuck his foot on the ground and it kind of it's it's not good It's not good Yeah, it's a leg problem. It might be it's a it's something to do with the hip Hip or upper thigh It's poking at his hip It's not his abs. It's his leg It's not his abs If it was his abs they would have put him on the ground and lifted his shirt They're moving his leg. It's his leg man The whole raffle camper on their phone. They're like, oh, he's injured again. Oh, okay. Yeah, okay He's injured again. All right Let me let me just text the babysitter. Hang on. All right They're used to this anyways raffle leaving the court Leaving the court the crowd are saying I love you and they're clapping but they're nervous Raffa's seriously hurt Okay Medical time out in a doll. Let's see Let's see If you're just joining us raffa and a doll If you're just joining us raffa and a doll ran to a forehand he pulled up really really short and really sharp And then he grabbed his hip and really just like grimaced in pain Then for three points he barely moved And now he's getting a medical time out so Yeah That was a you don't see raffa take do it too much negative emotion and that was negative emotion That was serious like pain from raffa McDonald's gone to the bathroom as he waits Okay, I don't look I gotta be real I don't think raffa's gonna play anymore I don't know how he comes back from this if he don't if anyone's gonna do it It's obviously him or jokovic but I I Think raffa's gonna pull out What's wrong with him? I think it's a hip it's a hip problem And if he doesn't if he does come back and wins this somehow He's gonna pull out the next match because I don't know how you can play with With a bad hip It could be a tear It could be a I don't I mean I don't know I mean I it looks it's bad It looks really bad Like he I mean if you can't run he can't how can he do anything? And after the second point he ran and he grabbed his leg and like grabbed his hip And callus moe looks really worried I think raffa we retire and I really uh, but I really have him wrong. Yeah, by the way his wife's crying Oh His wife is crying. So you know it's you know, it's serious She's upset It's bad If chest is crying, you know, it's bad wife's crying I know His dad's having a conversation with the rest of the camp I mean it. Yeah, I don't think raffa's gonna keep going. I think he's done I think he's done Five three callus moe looks worried. They all look worried Raffa can't win any can't win this anyway Can't win this and what? I can't win like this Why they're not playing on the other courts because it's raining mcdonald coming back From the bathroom and raffa's gonna come back. Let's see what happens Raffa's gonna come back Five three of you just joining us raffa hasn't played well today. It's not because he's hurt. He wasn't hurt for the match He was only just being hurt in the last one game But in the first set mcdonald came out amazing and raffa really came out just really dodgy I mean he just not not injured. He was fine Again, I don't want anyone to be like he was injured the whole time. He wasn't he was fine But he was really Really bad just really really bad. I mean couldn't hit a shot but then In the last game raffa broke back. It looked like he was gonna win the second set Then he got uh, he got broken And he ran for a forehand and pulled up really really short grabbed his leg like grimaced in pain and then Couldn't run for the rest of that that poor that game He ran for another forehand pulled up really really short and then didn't even try Didn't even try to uh To hit a return on the two serves Just let we just let mcdonald ace him And now raffa hobbled off the court. So again, I don't know I don't know I don't think raffa's gonna play I need to come back and say that's it I don't think raffa's gonna gonna continue As they do a mexican wave in the stands Mcdonald versus tiafo just became a serious fourth round possibility. Yeah So let's just talk about The draw I guess a little bit Who does this help? I mean it helps hashtenov tiafo Mevvedev right mevvedev's got a great run now if uh if raffa gets out of his way Uh meddy quarter hercats chapeau We're gonna have a if mevvedev doesn't play well. We're gonna might have a new uh a new semifinalist, right? A new australian semifinalist, so Raffa's coming back And he does not look happy Raffa's coming back in he looks really Really concerned He's walking back He's walking very slowly He looks dejected He's looking at mcdonald. No, he's not he's walking to the chair He looks to the sky Oh god, this is the worst He's walking over to mcdonald He's called it Has he called it? No, he's not he's playing He's playing He's gonna continue He's playing Raffa is gonna keep playing He grabbed his racket where the hell's mckenzie someone tell him to come back here. He ain't won yet Where the hell's mcdonald somebody want to tell him that he's actually still gonna play tennis mcdonald left like he won He's back But for how long? He's back for now He's serving He's down five three, but he's back But for how long? Raffa's serving he's down five three. He's down a set He serves a fault second serve second serve Down the tee the back of mcdonald back in that raffa He's out Love 15 Love 15. He never gives up At least he's testing out the leg at least he's trying At least he's out there fighting for it If mcdonald makes him run, then we'll know if he how he really feels serve now the back of mcdonald and that goes out in the return 15 all good serve from raffa 15 all as raffa serves Down the tee the back end of mcdonald for now raffa Man raffa's not moving that well. He's standing in the middle of the baseline forehand to forehand as mcdonald hits the back on the stretch Raffa forehand Again at the back end of mcdonald raffa forehand again, but mcdonald and net Raffa's standing right here He's not moving much side to side. He's down right in the middle 30 15 30 15 30 15 Let me snipe some people As mcdonald hits it out and it's 40 15 Okay, let me just clean up the trash Okay, who else is in here Who else? Who else? Just chill take five take five take five Take five As raffa hits the forehand on the stretch into the form of mcdonald back in our raffa sliced Is wide 40 30 40 30 by the way f a a is in a fifth set with mulch and Yeah, i'm just gonna snipe Don't know where we don't have any mods. So yeah 40 30 serve now the back end of mcdonald back in our raffa to the forehand mcdonald Into the form of raffa mcdonald backhand slice Raffa forehand drop shot winner. All right, mcdonald's gonna have to serve a two sets of love lead Raffa didn't have to run that much in that game He didn't have to run that much in that game Oh god, i'm gonna blast some people to the moon in a second. I'm gonna blast you to the moon Thanks for calling the match. No worries. Joe um Let's answer questions By the mulch and was the first game of the final set against f a We're keeping on that Raffa again does not look happy Does not look happy Does not look happy. What happened before the injury guys? He was fine. I mean mcdonald was just playing better But then the injury came along Now it's a real problem He just looked at his camp like this isn't good. Yeah, I mean his wife was crying. I mean jesus His wife was crying His wife was crying Okay, five four by the way Anyone who says if raffa wins is it's a it's fake or bs I hope you say the same thing when jockovic is down two sets of love or something like that and comes back I would love to see the jockovic if you're gonna if you're gonna say that about raffa you said about nole And if you say about nole as well Then you just don't know anything about tennis as we had a volley drop shot winner there from From mcdonald and raffa raffa looks That's like I said raffa's not gonna play Another set because he can't run He can't move And by the way the smart people in the chat, which is like 99 of chat Just don't tell you just don't don't take notice of the uh the stupid people in the chat They're saying stupid things because they obviously don't know anything Don't get triggered by the uh the stupidity 15 loves as we had a double fault from mcdonald all right charity 15 all yeah, don't get baited don't get baited And dawn's here now so she's gonna start cracking skulls as we're gonna serve down the tee the foreigner raffa for now from mcdonald raffa forehand Into the foreigner raffa mcdonald for now raffa to the back end of mcdonald sliced and wide 15 30 So this is forcing raffa This is forcing raffa to start playing more aggressive Because he can't afford to run 15 30 and by the way if you do get timed out because you're just having a silly moment Take five come back be chill You could come back you're welcome back, but if you come back you'd be crazy then you're gone forever. So Just you know come back be chill It's all good. Maybe you just had a stupid moment You just didn't think before your text like when you text that girl on friday, you know and you accidentally text her when you're drunk, you know We get it. You're just having a moment 30 all It's all right. You can come back be chill 30 all Serve out wide as a fault from mcdonald There's a chance for mcdonald to go up to love and probably win this match Or a big chance for maybe raffa to steal this set somehow as we had a slice now from raffa down the line Into the back of mcdonald raffa forehand into the net 40 30 Good advice take five. Yeah, look take five. Just think there's no People some people just get a little excited When bad things happen. I don't know why you would celebrate something bad happening injuries are no joke It's different if you're laughing at you know other things but To celebrate someone being hurt is I mean, why are we celebrating? The dawn's doing a great job. Thank you dawn as we're back in now down the middle into the fauna raffa in the net from raffa There's the set six four six four mcdonald two sets of love up and raffa and raffa sits down mcdonald is waiting for raffa to quit but raffa just hits his racket on the bag And looks at his coaches and goes like I can't do much about this Now does raffa go down? Or does he retire he's retired so much here He's retired so much in australia. It's so annoying for an australian fan. Um Yeah players do change the way they play when they're injured for sure Raffa has I think what is a hip injury A hip injury for raffa Raffa wasn't injured in the first set Nobody said he was He wasn't injured until five uh three in the second First said he just got outplayed. He wasn't playing well and and mcdonald was playing really well No one's saying that raffa was injured in the first set. That's my point. What's your point? You're making no sense Uh raffa knows himself what he should do in this moment. Yeah, I mean of course Raffa does look upset. Oh, yeah, he looks devastated and the dial doesn't like to lose Yeah, no no no one likes to lose. I mean, do you like to lose? I don't think anyone likes to lose in life, right? Not just in sport No, raffa hasn't retired. He's still on court. I'm saying I'm watching him now. He's walking around um The doll hasn't retired And that hasn't retired. I don't know what's going on google's wrong. This match is still going Match is still going. It's six four six four third set raffa serves I don't know where this is coming from I don't know why google would say it's fine. I mean google if google are obviously jokovic fans or something because they've got They've called raffa out. They're like get out of here raffa's done. Excuse me No, he's not He's still playing Google said he lost Okay, fine. Have him raffa in the other court as long Love 15 Love 15 Google says he retired I'm watching him literally play love 15 Molchan by the way just Through his racket real good Molchan's pissed I would be too if I was up two sets of love and start losing a raffa hits it in the net love 30 I think raffa goes down a break and then he retires because every shot raffa does it's like he's just Raffa's at like 10% He's at 10% FAA by the way, he's got a break in the fifth He's coming back as we the slice there from raffa into the backhand slice Of mcdonald for now raffa down the line mcdonald gets it, but it puts in the net Google is 10 minutes ahead Google invented time travel They're just hiding it from all of us They're 10 minutes ahead Serve down the t the 400 mcdonald back in there from raffa into the backhand mcdonald. It's in the net mcdonald 30 all 30 all 30 all as raffa serves Down the t the backhand mcdonald for now raffa into the open court for a winner 40 30 40 30 Man, this is hard to watch Seems like we're watching a lot of raffa injuries lately That's a bit of a turn out the back into raffa raffa hits the tape goes over mcdonald four hand winner Deuce We get the deuce but like mcdonald played amazing the first set in a half before raffa was ever injured so Definitely got a credit mcdonald for the great start As raffa serves an ace out wide bang advantage raffa advantage raffa advantage raffa His first ace of the day raffa jesus all right Serve our second ace of the day to bang down the tape one love raffa One love raffa in the third He can serve well, you know at least you can serve First first game in the third set Okay, let's see what he does on the return to serve because mcdonald mcdonald's serving and the returning of raffa has been a problem in the last 20 minutes Raffa by the way Talking a lot to his camp I think he got an injection. I don't think you can get an injection mid-match You're not allowed to get um You're not allowed to get like a um What do you call it? You're not allowed to get like a A jab during the match you can get one before the match To numb the pain, but you can't get one during i'm pretty sure they're the rules All right 15 love here mcdonald serves Raffa returns mcdonald back end down the line raffa's not going to get that 30 love You can have pain killers you can drink You know you can have a quarter zone shot. You can't get that during the match. I don't think You can take tablets. You can take, you know Whatever you need to numb the like that, you know, you can't take a jab All right first of the fault from mcdonald's second serve Is a double fault man mcdonald's just taking his foot off the He's taking his foot off the gas. He's like, hey, all right. I'm playing an injured raffa. He's still got a win, mate Still playing raffa 30 15 as mcdonald serves another fault second serve Second serve returned out from raffa to the 400 mcdonald slash raffa in the net 40 15 40 15 Raffa stands there with his hands on his hips Nothing he can do Nothing he can do if he can't run You can just stand there hit serves. Hope for tiebreak wins. Maybe Give up the returns of uh return games and hope for the best. I mean There's nothing he can't he can't run All he can do is serve and if that gets broken Hope that hope that mcdonald serves for a for double faults or something, you know, like that's That's sort of where we're out. I think with raffa Okay raffa to serve again It's hard to watch But at least he's going At least he's trying to keep going At least he's hanging in there as we return now raffa comes into the forehand mcdonald with a pass. It's a lob and raffa puts away the smash 15 love Dole and you're having a field day out there 15 love Good smash there from raffa. That's a bit of fault second serve second serve Into the back into mcdonald back in that raffa into the forehand mcdonald mcdonald hits it long 30 love Again, don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already We've got plenty more tennis where this comes from and we're in a weird position right now because Raffa's down But he's not out He's just very Sore and injured And we're kind of in that weird limbo of Is raffa gonna win or like come back and win or are we waiting for him to get broken? Or is he just gonna lose and you know this set and losing straight sets and you know not retire? Don't know Serve out while the back end of mcdonald and that goes long 40 15 two hours played So it's kind of that like That weird I don't know we're in this weird limbo where we're like raffa is probably out of the australian open, but he's still playing As raffa gets a two one with a good serve, you know, it's like you know what I mean like Is that I'm feeling like that right? I don't know about you guys we're kind of like Well raffa's out of the oz open But he's not actually out yet. He's still playing so What are we weird? It's we're in a weird situation right now I'm in a weird spot. Okay. Let's answer some questions If he took some pills, how long does it take to kick in? Yeah, well, look he could take some He could take some pills and then it could kick in but Someone tells me that what he's got going on is way worse than a You know than a sprained ankle, you know or or um, you know, it looks like it's way worse That maybe painkillers aspirin's not going to cut it I don't know Google jump the gun Oh google jump the gun Can't can't can't trust them Who will replace red Nadal if he retires nobody No one replaces Nadal. I mean Nadal pulls out of the tournament McDonald goes through no one is no replacement No replacement They'll kick in in the hour you think yeah, but I don't know if it's going to be strong enough Strong enough to keep him going. I think raffa is going to play it out. He's no quitter Well, that's the thing. He's retired a lot in Australia. So you'll wonder if Pride is kicking in, you know It's his pride keeping him in Max Purcell Rousseau Vowari match much more important Hey, thank you urban for the two. Yeah By the way, molchan is having a meltdown He's down four one in the fifth against felix and he is having a meltdown towel in his head towel towel on his face just Talking to himself He's yelling and screaming. He's not happy How funny is it that molchan versus f a a is marion viter versus toning Nadal all over again Even though they're both not there, but still They're their players are playing Just like jocovice Nadal played back in the day 30 love. Anyone else pick up on that 30 love And again Nadal just can't return Can't return serve 30 love If Nadal playing bad, he was at the start now. He's playing hurt As mcdonald hits it out rapid to smack that return like it was nothing Oh 30 15 30 15 As mcdonald serves Now wider the form of raffa back in our mcdonald The slice of raffa into the back end of mcdonald raffa forehand Is a winner mcdonald's taking it too easy mcdonald's taking it too easy He just rolled the back end in raffa's like, what are you doing? I could still hit the ball I just can't run mcdonald's taking it too easy This kind of feels like the the stand versus nadal final from what 2015 or something, right? Aston is here from mcdonald. That's better um When raffa got injured in the second right and then won the third Even though he was on one leg When was that? I was open 20 when 2015 2014 Yeah, 2014 Raffa won the third 6 3 even though he was 100 injured as nadal smacks that away And it's deuce stand 1 6 3 6 2 raffa got raffa had like a hamstring injury or something or like he heard his leg and then Then raffa won the fourth in third and you're like, what the hell and then stan finally won in four, but raffa didn't go away Serves a fault second serve Was it a back injury? I thought it was a leg. I thought it was like a back injury back injury raffa still played Serve it while the back and raffa find out from mcdonald as a winner advantage mcdonald Also, it looks like they're about to start outside matches Finally Outside matches about to start Some of them not all but some think on dress cues coming on soon It's all starting first seven the net from mcdonald second serve rato khanu taking on goff in about Two hours mcdonald two two in the third Two all in the third mcdonald but um Yeah, rato khanu goff coming up two hours from now Or after this match whatever happens first He was just smashing everything because he couldn't move. Yeah, that's what uh, it's doing today. Well. He has to do now. I guess That's what he's doing at the moment Okay raffa serving again now the good thing is raffa fans His serve isn't affected. He's not serve his serve is not being affected, which is good because if he couldn't serve then God it would be terrible But he can't run As he smashes that one down and then hits a volley drop volley winner raffa Raffa's just playing crazy at the moment In a good way 15 love like crazy He's playing crazy Risky because he has no choice A man with nothing to lose because he has nothing he can't do anything else Sad to see my Favorite veteran injured. Yeah return now to the back end of raffa for never mcdonald Into the back end of raffa sliced to the back end of mcdonald raffa the pass. It's wide 15 all 15 all again if you're just joining us raffa was not injured at the start of this match He got injured at the second set midway through the second set A hip it looks like a hip problem We'll find out more later It is affecting his ability to return serve And move around the court It's affecting his left leg as with a backhand a forehand from raffa going to the back end of mcdonald Again at the front of raffa who hits it down the line and wide 15 30 Again raffa's just having to play reckless by the way tfo two sets to love up And fai is up five one in the fifth and everyone's coming back out on court Because the rain has stopped They need to get all these matches done today 30 15 30 second serve Raffa into the foreman uh mcdonald forehand from raffa's good mcdonald gets it volley raffa mcdonald can't get it 30 all raffa just Playing some crazy shots just playing some crazy shots 30 all 30 all raffa serves a fault second serve second serve Down the t the back of mcdonald forehand raffa Into the back of mcdonald raffa the forehand again at the back end of mcdonald into the forehand raffa down the line There's a winner again from raffa Raffa hits a winner and he's like oh god i gotta play another point. All right fine Fine i'll play another point friggin fine fine friggin fine 40 30 40 30 serve Down the t is a fault second serve Mark Lopez can't be here. He's like raffa's still trying to play I think he's camp would have said stop playing and raffa's too proud To say no as mcdonald hits it out raffa's not going to quit if he keeps saying keeps winning three two raffa's going to keep playing if he stays in front There's no way he's going to retire from this point unless he goes down a break and it's impossible But at this point he's probably not going to retire at all He's already halfway to the set All right Does harris get the dub club tonight Hey, thank you jack for the 10 mate appreciate that 1069 love it. Um Harris dub club who's harris playing? Who's harris playing does anyone know? Somebody we know I don't know who's playing I don't know it's meant to be plays. Um chat fortjevic Oh fortjevic played a five setter as well, right? I'm gonna say Yes, actually I'm a little worried for harris Because he's playing against an iron man So I'm gonna say I don't think so I think I think fortjevic will win They both played five sets, but remember harris hasn't played For like nine months So how's he gonna pull up fortjevic is an iron man. He's gonna be fine So I think if that match goes along the longer that goes maybe the harder for Lloyd harris, maybe I don't know It's a tough one fortjevic is ripped. I know fortjevic is a beast Here's a beast Okay, Nadal he's a return winner love 15. All right return winner from raffa Thank you for the 10 and also. Thank you silly scoop for becoming a member again for four months. Appreciate that fortjevic does iron man's no I think they just nicknamed him the iron man because he's a freak As that return goes in the form of mcdonald backing out from raffa sliced Into the back of mcdonald raffa with a forehand out from raffa And it's 15 all 15 all raffa's hurt. We're still playing doctor on what is the injury assuming that it's a hip because everything that he's everything that's happened He keeps pointing to the hip. He keeps Moving weird like it's a hip problem. So we're just gonna say it's a hip problem until otherwise told It's definitely a leg problem It's definitely a leg problem As the return goes in the net it's 40 15 and again raffa after every shot is just like Not having a good time There's a bit of fault from raffa second serve Second serve. Oh, sorry mcdonald second serve Down to the 400 raffa return as a winner from raffa 40 30 Every now and again raffa just plays a shot, but then you got to remember Why he's playing those shots? Would he play these shots if You know, would he play these shots necessary normally? No He wouldn't go this aggressive normally, right? 40 30 mcdonald with a fault second serve Second serve is going to return now the 400 mcdonald into the open court raffa doesn't run for it mcdonald gets the game three three three games all In this third set Okay, fAA by the way comes back from two sets of love down doesn't happen yet Not today not with fAA today We can say get stuffed curse Get stuffed 15 love He avoids it He avoids the worst All right, 15 love good serve from raffa second first second point Sorry serving the net goes in the second serve what second serve now 15 love 15 love has been a serve now the backing of mcdonald good volley from raffa mcdonald Hits it again to the raffa volley and raffa puts it away 30 love 30 love 30 love 30 love and raffa again when he goes out to the forehand side, that's when he seems to be in the most pain As he serves a fold again second serve By the way, philix has played two very tough matches early in this tournament. It's a little concerning 40 love nice from raffa Molchan he's played two five setters and probably should have gotten that second match Who learned from this Molchan's a good player. He's fun to watch As raffa serves an ace bang four three raffa's just hanging on Hanging on raffa at this point four three four three That sounds good questions. By the way on dress you coming out on court as well All getting started outside Uh, first about raffa. I love that dude. Yeah, look, it's tough. It's a tough lot. It's a tough It's tough to watch, you know, it's tough to watch raffa in this pain Nadal need to retire from tennis now Uh, no, but thank you for the two. Uh, no, I think you'd be fine. Um, you'll come back and You know play the clay court season Raffa look if this injury is as bad as it looks at the moment Raffa doesn't play jubai She's supposed to play at the end of feb He might play indian wells or miami Or if it's really bad He might just go play modicalo like don't you know Go play go play the clay Go play the clay That's uh, mate. It depends on how bad it is By the way, it's super windy outside Uh for this undress you match so That's going to be interesting and they're just about to start All right, mcdonald serves four three down in the second As we return now the form of mcdonald backing out from raffa sliced into the form of mcdonald Again to the form of raffa raffa hits it out and raffa hits it wide 15 love Where's cam?

Well, yeah, that's just that just shows how good raffa is at fighting. I mean look I don't know why people are so surprised that raffa's still able to play because first of all We're watching a goat. We've seen other goats do this. Did you Roger Federer? I know we're talking we talk about nadal and jockovic playing through injury roger federer never retired mid-match That man never retired mid-match. You think he wasn't hurt mid-match. Of course It's probably when he lost six love to her catch his knee might have exploded But he never would have told because he kept playing These are goats they do different things They're built different How why are we surprised that raffa still be able to play like jockovic yesterday? He bagled a guy even though he had a bad leg you know like I don't I mean maybe you don't have to watch raffa before and you're like, well, this is the first time I've ever seen this guy but it's like If you've seen raffa more than once you'll know this is normal Of course he's playing he's still playing of course.

You know you'll catch up Uh, if raffa got broken that game he would have lost the match afterwards.

He played amazing in the first set in the half And that set up the match and raffa. Let's just hope he's better Let's just hope the injury is not serious. Let's hope it's You know, let's hope we see him Sooner rather than later mcdonald knows it as well. He's like he's not celebrating like he won this, you know, like he he knows he earns it And he does he has earned it But he's not celebrating raffa's injury and I respect that mckenzie mcdonald. He's like it's the biggest moment of his life But he's not over celebrating He's just like thank you Because he knows that he was up against a guy who was not feeling a hundred percent especially That second half raffa almost. I mean very lucky to kind of get As close as he did in that third set Let's just hope it's all right. Let's hope he can play indian well as miami and the clay season because sometimes hip injuries I mean ask Andy Murray okay tough to watch Stop making excuses for uh nadal. You know what? Get stuffed You can get stuffed You can get stuffed um It was good while it lasted look mcdonald was amazing first set in half amazing amazing Raffa leaves This could be the final time we see raffa Out of the australian open. I don't want to say it, but it could be He might play next year. We don't know We don't know what his plans are. He's got a kid things change Raffa leaves the court looking devastated As the crowd is as well Raffa's gone top seed out What are we watching next rhodocon versus uh golf is coming up next We're gonna watch that later. Again, if you are leaving don't forget to subscribe like the video on the way out That was a rough one to watch. It's hard to watch for the last hour. That was just We were waiting we're waiting and Raffa went out on his sword. So you got to respect the hell out of that okay I haven't had dinner yet because we're just getting started McDonald says really happy about how I started the match Really taking it to him and it was And he said it was tough to stay mentally engaged in the third But he said i'm so happy but look respect to mckenzie mcdonald because he Because he played amazing to set this match up And like he said it's hard to stay engaged in that third set because he knew raffa was injured But even with an injured goat you still got to play the goat, right? Raffa's ranking drops down. I think to number six So definitely a rankings drop Um, definitely definitely a drop from uh for raffa, but man It's true Look they can't go forever. Can they Goats can't go. I mean jokovic is also injured. It's crazy The two goats are hurt One's gone one left How long's he gonna last, you know, it's brutal First time in a tournament that we've got two injured goats or we had we had one now we've got one left to be crazy crazy crazy Crazy crazy Raffa still the goat for you. Nice Yeah, look, I don't know if raffa's gonna, you know, is he gonna play So the next big tournament he's supposed to play is dubai I don't think he plays dubai. I think he pulls out of that Um, and then he goes maybe plays indian wells or miami Or does he just take off two months? Come back a hundred percent in april I would say he does that I think raffa's gonna pull out not that not that not that I know how bad it is But let's say it's really bad. Let's say it's it is bad Then I don't think he's playing to april. I would say he shouldn't play to april We he doesn't need to play indian wells miami, you know, he's played indian wells He got injured indian wells last year. He didn't play miami Don't worry about those. Don't worry about acapulco idiot. You know, he cares Go straight to Monte Carlo play the clay Play the clay because he didn't play Monte Carlo last year because of injury So, you know, I think I would say that for sure you should just, you know Ditch the rest of the hardcourt Jump back on the clay Because the french open is where you need to play You need to play that April clays isn't yeah, I look and if you're a raffa fan I would expect him not to play until then Because I think raffa's going to take as much time off as he needs because he's much older now These injuries are not going to be wake up tomorrow be fine, you know He's going to be out for a bit He's going to be out for a bit And expect him to be out for a bit What about the exhibition with against carlos in vegas? I mean I'm sure he's not thinking about that. Who knows? I mean, it's really That's a that's too much a month or two months away He could just pull out of that and someone else replaces him. I mean Just because he's got an exhibition coming up doesn't mean I mean he's got indian wales coming out. That's more important You know pulling out of indian wales is a bigger deal than pulling out of a vegas exhibition But yeah, I think you should just start, you know, just Go and get better. We want a hundred percent fit healthy raffa at the french, right? By the way, tiaffo's got two match points To play to get to the by the tiaffo just he might be playing in a quarter-final of australian open again because He is avoiding raffa now No raffa in in big foe's way Uh predictions for the finals. I already said raffa wasn't going to make it through the first week I didn't think he Lose to kenzie mcdonald's but I already said raffa was probably not going to make it I think it's mevvedev jokovic in the final Tiaffo metting the quarters that was that is fun That is fun, but now what but now tiaffo Has an open road That could be bad. I think I think tiaffo might lose to hashenov Because now tiaffo's road is clear He might take it super easy and get smacked by hashenov hashenov makes it to the quarters instead Right Tiaffo, I mean even tiaffo in his first round. He took it really simple after the first two sets. He just took it easy Tiaffo might be like i'm in the quarters, mate. You're in the second round like you got to play All right, so I might be i'm a little worried for tiaffo now Probably the worst thing that could have happened is raffa losing in a way, you know He's winning at the moment, but what happens when you play if he plays hashenov Who did I have raffa losing to uh mevvedev? I thought mevvedev would beat raffa in the quarters But I just had a feeling last end of last year. I mean some of you might have been there I thought the raffa wasn't going to make it past the first week Whatever that was. I just didn't think it was gonna happen and unfortunately that happened um Medi versus jockovic or medi versus quarter in the final you got either quarter or jockovic in the final jesus That's a big difference quarter or jockovic How can you have quarter and jock you can't have quarter versus mevvedev anyway Is mevvedev and quarter playing in the third round if they win? I reckon it's going to be sinna versus No, sorry city pass mevvedev semifinal round three round three And then we're going to get jockovic versus um jockovic versus fritz in the semis jockovic fritz city pass mevvedev Semifinals and then the winners play each other jockovic mevvedev play each other in the final Jaffo mevvedev was would be a lot of fun Yeah, quarter almost beat jockovic last week, but I mean, that's a big you're gonna pick quarter over a lot of people quarter instead of fritz instead of city pass instead of uh, sinna instead of Her catch even like there's a lot of plays that I would pick ahead of quarter. I like quarter, but Not that much runa. Yeah quarter instead of runa Quarters in the same section as all of them anyway, so yeah All right chat We're gonna wait and see what happens with rafters Rafters press up. I'm sure he's gonna say something Follow me on twitter link in the chat or link down below.

He's Leg is stuffed But hey biggest upside of the tournament so far And it was a sad one Sad one to see because it wasn't An upset in the way that we like seeing upsets, right? I want to see an upset personally if we're seeing upsets. I want to see a player get beaten by somebody Not, you know Get hurt and then just kind of hobble to the to the line But uh, mccannity mcdonnell played a hell of a first set in half and he deserved this win Uh, six four six four seven five. He beats raffer Nadal defending champion number one seed out We'll keep you updated on the raffer's injury, but mccannity mcdonnell takes out the number one
