 All right, everybody, welcome to the final of Indian Wells, the men's final for Indian Wells. And we've just had an amazing women's final. We had a winner for, it was Rebecca, and we're just joining us, beating Sabalenka in a very close match, a very epic tie break to start. But this one has a little bit more at stake. It's got a world number one ranking for El Caraz. It's got four titles in four weeks from Evadev, which has never been done, or at least, I don't think it's been done. And also it's got Indian Wells on the line. A tournament that neither of these guys have won. And these guys' resumes are very, very similar. They've both been number one, both former world number ones, which is kind of nuts. They've both won U.S. Opens in the last couple of seasons. So again, these two have a very similar resume, and they haven't played in nearly two years. The two guys that I don't think have played have been the longest between matches, because we've seen El Caraz go through the top 10. We've seen Medi play most of the top 10. We haven't seen these guys cross paths, especially since El Caraz has taken his game to a new level. And what a great time to get Medvedev to play El Caraz, because Medi right now is at an all-time level as well. He's playing as well as he has for at least the last 12 months. So this is set up to be a huge match, and we're gonna learn a lot about these guys. We're gonna see if El Caraz can employ tactics to beat Medvedev like we've seen City Pastu and Kirios do, or is Medvedev gonna be able to grind El Caraz down to the ground? I guess like Djokovic, we kind of saw a little bit from Djokovic in Madrid. We haven't seen them play enough, but something that maybe Synod does. You know, Synod does grind, or had before yesterday, been grinding El Caraz into the ground sometimes. We'll find out. But first, we're gonna do the preview because these guys have only played the one time, and they've had interesting roads, different roads to get to this stage. Daniel Medvedev versus Carlos El Caraz is the final for the men's Indian Wells for 2023. And both guys have been very impressive to get to the final stage. Medvedev started the tournament off as number five seed, and we're gonna buy in the first round. In the second round, he take on Nakashima, who had just beaten Jon Isner in the previous round. But this was no problem for Medvedev, getting through in straights, six, four, six, three. In the third round, he take on Ovashka, who had just beaten Van Zanshub, the 28th seed in the previous round. And this was a tough match for Medvedev. He got through in three sets, six, two, three, six, six, one. In the fourth round, he take on the 12th seed, Zverev, who was coming back nicely from his injury. And this was the all-time match to the tournament so far, with Medvedev eventually winning six, seven, seven, six, seven, five to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, Medvedev will take on the number 23 seed for Kena. And after a close second set, Medvedev would eventually get through in straights, six, three, seven, five, to advance to the semifinals. In the semifinals, Medvedev will take on the hometown favorite, Tiyafo, the 14th seed. However, Medvedev dispatched him in straights, seven, five, seven, six, to get to the final. I'll get started the tournament off as the number one seed, and we're gonna buy in the first round. The second round he'd take on the qualified Coconarkis. This was no problem for Elkras, getting through in straights, six, three, six, three. In the third round, he'd take on the 31st seed, Grigsbor, who'd been very, very good this season. After a close first set, Elkras dispatched him, seven, six, six, three. In the fourth round, he'd take on Draper, the exciting young Brit. But unfortunately, Draper got injured after a set, and Elkras got the easy win, six, two, two, love, retirement, to get to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, Elkras would take on the number eight seed, Ojalia Seem. And even though Felix had had a three-zero record over Elkras, Elkras won easily in straight sets, six, four, six, four, to advance to the semifinals. In the semifinals, Elkras took on his friend and fellow young gun, Yannick Sinner, the number 11 seed, who'd just beaten the defending champion Fritz in the previous round. And after a close first set, Elkras ran away with the second, seven, six, six, three, to get to the final. These guys have only played the one time before. That was back in 2021 at Wimbledon, with Medvedev getting the easy win. But since then, Elkras has come a long way, and Medvedev also has won a slam in that time. So having a look at the tennis insights now, and you can see there in attack, Elkras is the more aggressive player at 25%. And when he is in attack, he's actually winning 73% of those points, which is the conversion against Medvedev 69%. However, Medvedev has a slight advantage in the steals at 39%, which is well above tour average and also better than Elkras. So defensively, Medvedev is better. And in the baseline battles, the slight edge goes to Elkras when both players are playing on the baseline, and of course, much, much better than the tour average, because these guys are quality at the baseline. Shot quality is a part of a range of new insights from the team at Tennis Insights. It is calculated in real time and analyzes each shot's speed, spin, depth, width, and impact on the opponent. The number of the player cards are actually the 52 week rolling averages. Go check them out on Twitter, link down below. This one's gonna be a really close one because these guys haven't played for so long and Medvedev is on such a run at the moment, but I'm gonna go with Elkras in three sets. I think it's gonna be an absolute epic. The world number one is at stake, and I think Elkras is gonna take it. Let me know down in the comments below who is gonna win this one. Okay, there's the break down. Again, thank you so much everybody who's been watching those videos, put a lot of work in. I mean, you guys know that I stream 12 hours a day, and then on top of that, we chuck that on, so you guys know what's happening every single match. So again, thank you so much everybody for watching those videos and supporting those videos, we'll keep doing them. So we haven't had really a good match since, I guess, Cineversa Fritz, which was a really good match a couple of days ago. Elkras, pretty, I mean, the first set of the Cine match was really fun, but the second set was pretty straightforward. Mevvedev and Ciafo, that score's just generous to Bigfo. Bigfo was never really in that match, and yeah, I mean, other than that, we've had one, three setters since the fourth round ended. Let's talk about Denim Mevvedev first. He's number six in the world, 27-year-old from Russia. He is six-with-six right-handed. 19 wins, two losses on the year, three titles, both, sorry, triple back-to-back before this event, including a win over Djokovic during that run. So he hasn't just beaten nobodies, he also beat Cine as well, and you can see the 18 career titles going for his 19th title, Mevvedev. So he's starting to get those to that 20 mark, and you can see there, his form has been outstanding. And you can tell the badges, I mean, keeping on the badges because both these guys have done the same thing. They've got the same achievements. You can see there, Elkras, number two in the world, playing for that world number one ranking right now. If he wins today, he gets it. And Djokovic will be number two until at least the Claycourt season. 19-year-old from Spain, he is six-with-tall, right-handed, eight wins, one loss on the year. The only loss he's had is against Cam Norrie in Rio a few weeks ago. And you can see also here, and there's the one title this year, seven career titles, and his form has been good. But yeah, again, you know, they've both got the achievement badge of world number one, they've both got the achievements of the US Open and of Masters 1000, Medi has won a couple, and Elkras has got the one, the couple from last year. Now, this is kind of an irrelevant head-to-head because to be honest, when they played at Wimbledon two years ago, Medvedev was way better at the time. And Elkras, on grass, I mean, it's hard to say, we don't know how good he's gonna be on grass or maybe how hard it's gonna be for him on grass, because we've only seen him play a couple of Wimbys or at least one Wimby, so, and he's lost to Sinner and Medvedev in those Wimbledons. So it's hard to tell whether or not Carlos is actually gonna be a grass guy, but Medvedev did win that match, so there's that little bit of confidence, but two years ago is a long time, and of course, Elkras is so much better than he was back then, and Medvedev is back to where he probably was back then. So we're in for a banger. Imagine, again, I always say this, every time we watch the Masters 1000 final, I always go back to the matches where there are five sets, and I'm like, imagine having a five setter here. It wouldn't be practical nowadays because we've got Miami coming up in a couple of days, and if these guys played for five hours, it would kind of be unfair, but man. Can we get a five setter final? I'd be like, what a five set final. Quality is going skyrocketing every stream. Love the analysis and stats and the class of commentary. Thank you, appreciate that. Put a lot of work into it, so I'm glad you enjoy. This is the biggest challenge for Elkras face in a final. Probably, yeah, yeah, because they haven't played a goat in a final, so if you don't play a goat in a final, Medvedev's probably gonna be the next one. By the way, voting is open. You can bet on this match with your points. If you've been watching the stream, you will have points. You might not even know you have points. If you wanna check out how many points you have, exclamation mark points, and you'll be able to find out how many points you have. If you have over 100 points, you can bet. And there's already 32 people have bet, and mostly are going for Elkras, interesting. Can't wait for this one. Oh, it's gonna be fire. This is gonna be absolute fire. Median straights, all right. Look, you can make an argument for any score line, I think. I think you can say Medvedev in straights, and then give an explanation. Elkras in straights, give an explanation. Three sets either way, give an explanation. Like, the only thing I would be shocked at is if maybe Medvedev demolished Elkras, that would be shocking. But I could see Elkras demolishing Medvedev. I could see that. I could see him just frustrating the hell out of Medvedev. But I don't, yeah, I don't think Elkras losing easily is, I can't see how that happens. But everything else is on the table. Straight sets tie break, straight sets four and seven. I don't know. Three sets is an obvious one, right? If Medvedev wins, the two players who hated playing on this court end up winning. I know, right? That's crazy. The two, look, I wonder if Medvedev is watching Rabakina, who's also seeming or had the same problems or was talking about the same problems. And I wonder if Medvedev looking at her winning is gonna go, he's gonna go, oh, I can win then. Maybe he's looking at her as like, like, you know, seeing how she's reacted and how she's won, he's like, well, if she can win, and she hated the courts like I do, then I can win. Maybe that'll help him. I can't see Medvedev losing to anyone, but Nolay anytime soon. I gotta be honest, I, Elkras can beat Medvedev. I mean, Elkras can beat Medvedev. I'm just wondering by how much. So I picked Elkras to win, but I don't know. Elkras, Elkras can, I don't think Medvedev's just like, it's Djokovic or nobody. I mean, this is, this is not fun for, this is, remember Elkras is kind of Nadal and Djokovic wrapped into one. So two of the guys that can beat Medvedev wrapped into one. Now Medvedev's walking out. Hey, Zach. Medvedev's wall may fall. Ooh, the wall may fall. The wall may fall. That's a good quote. Hey. So a win Carlos will be no one, but could lose at Miami. Yes. And we'll talk about that in the ranking show, which is coming up tonight or today. Once this match is done, I'm gonna go work on that. Also Miami finals, Miami draw comes out tomorrow as well. So there's a lot, there's a lot to do, but yeah, I'll be working on that tonight. So then when you go, when you wake up, if you're in Europe, or when you go on a bed in America, you'll get the ranking show. And the ranking show is very interesting. Not just, there's not many changes to the rankings yet. On the men's side, there's a bit more, but the race to the finals, massive changes. But also just the points in general, because I've added the points to the ranking show now, because some of you are asking, hey Cam, instead of just showing the flags and where they're from, can you show us how many ranking points everyone has? And I think even though it takes a lot more time, I think it's much better. I like the ranking show better now. Because you can actually see how close someone is behind somebody else on points. And the points change, there's a massive points change. If you haven't taken, lost a lot of points. Sabalenka won a lot of points. Even though they don't change in the rankings, the points change a lot. So stay tuned for the ranking show coming up tonight. We'll come out later today. Within, no, yeah, later, probably in a, I don't know, whenever, whenever it's done. Your prediction is Sabalenka-Mevadev, Sabalenka-Elkarez and it happened as Rabaknur and Mehdi. Yep, you're right. Bet against me, you'll win. Lendle won five tournaments in five calendar weeks on two services. Thank you. So Mevadev's trying to do something that Lendle did back in the day. Thank you for that. Appreciate that, Anshil. So that's a great stat. Because I wasn't sure, because three tournaments in three weeks, so four and four weeks doesn't really count because this is not really a, this is like the, like he didn't win a tournament last week, he won a tournament two weeks ago and then a week off and then this week. But four calendar weeks, so he's trying to do something Lendle did and get to four, but Lendle had five. So Mehdi's gonna have to win Miami as well to make, to beat Lendle's record. Elkarez acknowledges Mehdi is completely the best player in the world and is a wall. So he knows what to expect. Well, he's played Mevadev and he's lost to Mevadev. I think the benefit of Carlos right here is because they played once, right? But the thing is, Elkarez played a really good Mevadev. In, at Wimbledon in 21, Mehvedev was sort of at the peak of his powers. You know, won the US Open after that, right? But Elkarez has, so Mehvedev has not faced Elkarez, this Elkarez. So Elkarez has, I think has the head to head, has the advantage going in because he's already experienced this Mehvedev. Not on a hardcore, but on a grass court. Whereas Elkarez has never, Mehvedev hasn't felt this Elkarez yet. So that might make a difference. Also the conditions being windy. There might be some rain delay. This is ugly. The weather is ugly. It turned. Just having a look at the, where the hell is it? There it is. So it probably won't rain, but it is windy. It was starting to get windy at the end of the women's final. Let me check. So the wind right now, yeah, it's blowing. It's about 15 mile an hour winds, 23 kilometers. That's not fun. It will die down, but not by much. And there's also a little bit of rain around. So it could rain if we go to a third, possibly. So it's a little bit, and look, I think it's probably better for Elkarez if it's a little bit disruptive and a little bit annoying because Mehvedev already hates the courts, you know, anything to get annoyed at the courts, he will. Even against Tiafo, he was towards the second set. He was getting annoyed and it was getting a little crazy, the weather. We'll see. Mehvedev's on a hot streak. He is. Mehvedev is on the hottest of streaks. Is it Mehvedev going for 21 in a row? 21 in a row? Must be right. It's got to be Mehvedev's biggest longest streak, right? 21 in a row. I think it is. 20 in a row. Chat, somebody help me. 20, he's gone for 20. So he's won. Oh, because he had to buy in the first round of one of the events. Okay, that makes sense. So he's got six matches here. He had five last week or the other week, five and four, so 20. What's the longest men's winning streak? Not more than 20. He's like 41, isn't it? Like Djokovic 41 or something? Over 40, I think, right? Tell me about that. All right. Hey, Rowdy. Who's last ATP non-Big Three to win four titles in a row? Who's the last non-Big Three to win four titles? I don't know. I mean, we said Lendl. Murray, did Murray win four in a row? I don't know. That's even a question. Thank you, Rowdy, for the two. I don't, yeah, I don't know. Good question. Somebody will help us. Ball gone when 53 in a row. There you go. There you go. So yeah, Mehvedev's not even half to that. That's still impressive. I want to see what Mehvedev's longest win streak is. Is it over? Has he hit, has he? I haven't remembered. He did make a lot of finals in a row, which was the thing for a while, but yeah, I don't think he's got, his longest streak isn't, this has to be the longest, right? The longest winning streak? What was his previous record? Here we go. Longest winning streak yet. Actually, no, his longest winning streak was 20 back in that period I was talking about, end of 2020. Sorry, they, yeah, end of 2020, around 2020. 2020, 2020. What? 2020 to 2021. So he won Paris, ADB finals, ADB Cup, and then made the final of the Australian Open. 20 matches in a row. So he's about to equal that if he wins today. But the difference being that he's probably gonna break that record because he's gonna play Miami and unless he loses first match to Miami, he should get to 22 or 21 or 22. So he's playing for an all-time streak. But the difference as well is that, I mean, he lost in the Australian Open and then he won one, two, three, and then he's playing the final here. So it's the same as, you know, Paris, ADB finals, ADB Cup, Australian Open final, lost to Djokovic. So he's just, let's see if he can, he can break through. Over under eight and a half, Farzan special. Is that the Farzan special? Oh, you mean eight and a half drop shots? I thought he was giving a tip. Okay, yeah, I get you. Oh, King Elkaraz, all right. There's signs in the crowd. The kids are back in Elkaraz. I gotta be honest, this new generation, I feel, you know, we saw the other day, you know, Rado Khanna, which Fiontech playing, and there was a lot of kids in the crowd. You know, a lot of kids were getting behind Rado Khanna. I feel like a lot of the kids are going behind Elkaraz at the moment. I feel like Elkaraz is getting a lot of kid support, which is great because, look, tennis needs a new generation. You can't have the same people watching tennis forever. You need to have a new influx of people. The kids know, yeah. So it's great that there's young players that kids are actually watching, you know, rather than just being like, I like Djokovic. And it's like, well, we gotta get the younger players getting support from the young fans, too. Elkaraz hasn't dropped a set, true. Elkaraz has only dropped, we dropped a couple of sets on the clay, but he hasn't dropped a set here. Mehvedev serving, but Elkaraz is gonna serve first. So Medi warming up, we're almost ready. We're almost ready for the final match of the week, the final of Indian Wells. How are we gonna top that chat? How are we gonna top that women's final? I have no idea. I don't know how we're gonna do that. I don't think we will. I think the women's final is gonna, I mean, the women's final completely outperformed any other match this week. In fact, the women's final, as of right now, is the second largest behind the Djokovic Mehvedev match, which, of course, Djokovic, is the second largest match of March for us. So it's one of the matches of all time, all year. If I have a look at all year, let me look at my stats. It is currently behind the women's final of the Australian Open, but ahead of matches like Djokovic versus Kuko in Australia and just behind the semifinals of the men. So what is that? What's third? So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. It's the eighth highest match of the year, that final. That's insane. The eighth highest, eighth most in the year. God, anyone else hates spammers? All right. Cam, what's he over under on Mehvedev getting a haircut? He's probably like me. Just kind of like, he's playing tournaments. So he's just like, well, I got other things to do. He's just too busy winning to get a haircut. No back in final is Immaculate. Yeah, an AO final, yeah. Alcraz is the future of tennis and Ash Fiontech is the same. Yeah. I mean, tennis is in such a good spot right now. You know, I said this in the last match. Without the goats, is tennis gonna be worse? A little bit, but it's not gonna be dead. The goats aren't the thing about tennis. It's tennis is tennis. And right now we're witnessing a little bit of future because we've got the future in Alcraz and maybe the present of Mehvedev in the probably the most anticipated or the most asked for, the most requested match. We're finally getting it. I was talking about this match for at least two years. At least last year, this was the match that I wanted to see the most. We finally get it. And probably at the best time as well. Who's gonna win? You tell me chat. I'm gonna go with Alcraz in three. I said it, I'll say it, I'll keep it. Here we go. Alcraz to serve, first point of the final is we have to serve to the front of Mehvedev. That return goes in. Alcraz down the line. Mehvedev gets with the backhand. Into the backhand of Alcraz. Back into Mehvedev. Again to the front of Alcraz. Into the backhand of Mehvedev. Alcraz to the backhand. Again to the backhand of Mehvedev. Into the backhand of Alcraz. Mehvedev hits the backhand again. Into the backhand of Alcraz. Into the front of Mehvedev on the stretch. Alcraz wins the first point, 15-love. And something that Alcraz does that maybe Tiafo and whoever else Mehvedev's played, recently in those guys, Alcraz doesn't mind going down the line, which will keep Mehvedev off balance. With Mehvedev going crosscourt, that's what he wants. You go down the line, it gets him moving. So Alcraz ain't afraid to go down the line. Tiafo was a little afraid yesterday. 15-love. Serve out wide, the backhand of Mehvedev goes into the backhand of Alcraz, backhand of, for now Mehvedev, down the line of the net. 30-love. Alcraz off to a solid start here. The chat, let me know who's gonna win. By the way, I'm closing the votes. At the end of this game, get your bets, get your votes in. We've got 130,000 points on the line, 70 people have voted, so that's a big chunk. Now, how's the wind? I'll keep you posted. It's a little breezy. We'll see if it affects Mehvedev's serve. Cause that's something that's gonna be annoying for him down the track. 30-love. Hey, ready with the two. Guillermo Villas holds a TP record 46 wins in a row. There we go. Thank you, Rowdy, for the update. Appreciate that. Rowdy with the stats. So it goes out from Alcraz, 30-15. 30-5th. So both guys are a little tentative. They're showing the flags in the stadium and they're blowing around. It's pretty breezy up there. Let's see if it affects the court. 30-15. Oh, sorry, I'm gonna change that. Why the errors in that? I don't know why that is. That's such, yeah, the errors in unforced errors, the errors in winners count has been so off lately. I've been really frustrating. I might just have to ditch it all together because it doesn't help it be wrong. And then maybe it's from the other match. No, that's so annoying. It'll update after the game, hopefully after this match, after this point, sorry. It's been a 30-15. That goes out from Alcraz. After the first game it'll fix. That's so annoying. Just a glitch. 30-all. Big point coming up here. One cast for Aro just shaking his head a little bit. 30-all. Alcraz just juggling at the moment. He can't hold the ball still. 30-all. That's what it's served now from Alcraz. That's why the front of Medvedev return goes in Alcraz. No, Medvedev in the net. Alcraz remember a serve volley. He's gonna have to do that. We know the tactics. He's gonna have to chuck in serve volleys. 40-30. He's gonna have to mix it up. Don't serve volley every time, but just every now and again, just to keep Medvedev a little bit aware. Don't, no point in serve volleying every point because otherwise Medvedev will read it, but don't mind that for Alcraz. Just getting a little bit, making things a little bit, asking Medvedev a little bit. He serves a second serve. Well, apparently the clock's broken at the stadium too. I mean, it's all glitches all around in tennis. He's gonna back in into the front now of Alcraz. Back in out from Medvedev. Again to the front of Alcraz, the front of Medvedev. Into the front of Alcraz, Medvedev with a forehand. Again to the front of Alcraz, into the front of Medvedev. Again to the front of Alcraz, Medvedev hits a forehand. Again to the Alcraz forehand, Medvedev hits it out. All right, one love. All right, we're shutting it down. No more bets, no more bets. Close in the betting. There you go. By the way, 53% of you have gone Alcraz. 46% of go Medvedev. That's actually pretty damn close. Here we go. Medvedev serving. Alcraz gets the first one love. Okay, it looks like they're just showing Medvedev's return. Return position. He stands like, how many meters behind the back? 10 meters behind the baseline. Medvedev's returning. I mean, that's Rafa. That's insane. All right, here we go. Medvedev to serve. This is gonna be a big part of his game. Yeah, so close. All right, Medvedev serving. A fault. Second serve. Just entered my fan slam. Oh, you just entered the fan slam. I haven't put a league together, so stay tuned. I'll do a league today and we'll get to it. There's been a foreign winner from Alcraz. That's a great shot. Great aggression, love 15. The crowd like it. I'm in the crowd. And look, I mean, this is just tennis fans in general. I think we like winners and we like excitement and we like to cheer for ridiculous shots and that's what Alcraz does, which is why I think he's such a favorite as we're back in out of the front of Alcraz, back into Medvedev, into the net, love 30. Not to say that Medvedev is not exciting, but his game is a lot slower. It's a lot more grinding. It's a lot more of a sweet science that people, you appreciate Medvedev for what he does, but if you're in it for winners and flair, Medvedev's probably not your guy. He's not the guy, he's great for a meme, but he's not great for a, he's not great for a game on my feast, athletic jumping back end. There's been a foreign winner from Alcraz. That goes wide, 15-30. 15-30 as Medvedev serves again. Again, the clock on the screen on the stadium is turned off. So I don't know what's going on. They're getting a little bit of glitches. Maybe because of the weather, a little glitchy. By the way, where, where figured, this has been fixed, I think off of that. As we get a double fault, Medvedev. All right, Sabalenko must have coughed on our way through the tunnel, passed it on. We can make jokes now because COVID's not as big of a deal. I couldn't say that two years ago. Everybody like, oh, COVID. I was going to return now to the back end of Medvedev, back end from Alcraz, into the back end of Medvedev, into the back end of Alcraz, another back end from Medvedev, again to the back end of Alcraz, into the corner of Medvedev on the stretch. Alcraz in control with the forehand, again to the corner of Medvedev. Alcraz at the back end, cross court is good. Medvedev can't get it. Alcraz breaks. Oh, okay, Alcraz has come out and put the foot straight down. Two, love. Alcraz not mucking about. Two, oh, here we go. Alcraz with a serve. He's playing for the world number one ranking. We know that. We all know that. Two, love. As we're gonna serve out wide the forehand, Medvedev, good return. Alcraz gets it. Medvedev gets there with the back end. As Alcraz's back end goes again to the back end of Medvedev, into the back end of Alcraz. Medvedev with the back end, into the back end again of Alcraz, to the back end of Medvedev. Alcraz with the back end. Medvedev hits it wide. Medvedev is playing a little more aggressive than he usually does. He's been a little more aggressive, which is not working at the moment. Just wide, 15 love. Now remember, Sinner went down. Didn't Sinner go down? No, Sinner was up, wasn't he? Sinner went up for two. It was three, love. Didn't he go up three, love yesterday? He would have served now the forehand, Medvedev, returning to the forehand of Alcraz. Drop shot! Perfect! This is gonna be our finish to you. And we're gonna go to school at the end of this game, but I'll show you why Tiafo couldn't do that yesterday. Even though he tried. I'll show you what Alcraz does. Why that was so much better than what the tactic, Medvedev didn't even try. He's like, get out. I'm not even gonna try and get that. 30 love. Alcraz serves. In to the forehand of Medvedev. Return goes out, 40 love. 40 love. Man, this match is already, thank you, Dawn. Last chance, because I've already had to do that twice. 40 love. He's gonna serve. And Alcraz comes in the net. Medvedev hits it in the net. That's three, 11, 10 minutes. Let's go to school. Okay, so this is what, this is what Tiafo couldn't do and what Alcraz is doing. So yesterday, when Medvedev was playing Tiafo, Medvedev was standing here. And Tiafo, who was down here, tried to hit drop shots. Now, his execution wasn't good. He made a lot of errors on the drop shot. But he was hitting drop shots, but can you notice this? Medvedev was standing here. That is not as hard to get, especially if someone like Medvedev's quick. Alcraz is not hitting the drop shot where Medvedev's on the baseline. He's pushing Medvedev back with a deep ball, right? So he's hitting the deep, you know, where, I guess? Deep ball, Medvedev's back here. And then Alcraz goes for the drop shot. And the execution is much better from Alcraz because he's better at drop shots. But it's also the court position of Medvedev that makes it better. Look how much more distance there is. So Tiafo didn't set the drop shot up with a big, deep ball. And that's why he couldn't do it. Whereas Alcraz did. And that's what Alcraz is doing. He's playing smarter. He's setting up the shot. You know, you can hit drop shots all day long, but if your opponent's on the baseline, that ain't gonna work. So that is what Alcraz is doing. Class dismissed. All right. Great. And we said this yesterday that that was gonna happen. So it's great to see Alcraz already employing that tactic 10 minutes in. We said yesterday that was gonna happen. Or at least something that Medvedev would not get away with yesterday, today, like he did yesterday. All right. Back at it. Mehdi, trying to get on the board here. 10 minutes in. This is very quick. Clever tactic. Yeah. And look, I hope that if you guys play tennis, you're gonna look at those tactics and you can employ those tactics in your own game. This isn't just exclusive to the pros. You know, that is not a hard tactic to do. If you hit the ball deep, even if it's a moon ball and your opponent stands back, then go for the drop shot. Like you can do this at home. You can do this at home. Well, not at home, but you know, you can do this yourself if you can, if you play tennis, you know, if you play a competition. All right. The real love. There's a bit of slice there. Nope. Goes out from Alcraz. All right. I thought Mehdi just gave that point away. What's happening here? Nope. Ampire on the phone. Daniel's saying, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Ampire's on the phone. Tell you what, Indian Wells is battling with this weather. Ampire, oh, Ampire's calling the players in here. What's going on? What's happening? With the close shots, the Ampire's gonna make the calls. So Hawkeye's getting a little glitchy here. Hawkeye's a little glitchy. So the Ampire's gonna have to make the calls if they're close. So if the ball hits a line, Hawkeye's not actually saying in or out. The Ampire's gonna have to say it. So that last ball was out, but the Ampire, so the audio doesn't work. Hawkeye's gone quiet. Good serve down C from Mehdi, and Alcraz in the net 30 love. So Hawkeye's broken. At least the automatic line call is broken. And also there's a shot, everything's broken. Look, we love technology until it breaks. As we're gonna find out from Mehdi, that's a good shot. Alcraz gets with the pass. Whoa, yeah he does. This is gonna be a good shot. There's a passing shot, 30-15. Look, I love technology too until my power goes out and then I curse it because I rely on it too much. 30-15. And we all love Hawkeye and automatic line calls until they stop working. Then we're like, bring back the lines, people, damn it. 30-5. First serve is a fault. And the Ampire's like, fault. The Ampire's gone back to Linesman School. 30-15, second serve. Second serve, now the back end of Alcraz. Point out from Alcraz, goes in the open court. Mehdi gets it, it hits it out. 30-all. By the way, anyone in the, can anyone guess who the Ampire is? Who would love to be doing the Ampire right now? Who loves talking, who loves to get involved? Which Ampire, if you know Ampires, maybe you don't know the Ampires, but if you know the Ampires, who, which Ampire is like, you know, you're like, oh, this is definitely, he loves this. As we're back in a back-end rally. Exactly, Muhammad Ilyani. As that goes in there from Alcraz, and he is the chair Ampire. So he's like, I get to talk more. He loves it. He's like, out, out, out. He just loves it. He wants to talk. He's like, I get to use the microphone every point now. He's having the best time. 40-30, he probably turned it off himself. As we're at a four-in-a-four rally, Mehdi is trying to get in the board here. Down again to the front of Alcraz, the back end of Mehdi Dev, into the back end of Alcraz, Mehdi with the back-end. Again, drop shot from Mehdi. That goes in the net. Mehdi did a drop shot and he kind of like flicked up his leg at the end. Kind of like this. He went in, you know, did a drop shot, and then it's like, I'm wearing socks on purpose. You're weirdos. All right, Duce. That was a Mehdi drop shot, a little leg flick. I almost pulled, I almost hurt myself with that. Let's not do that again, Chad, I hurt. As Alcraz hit the forehand, it's out though, just goes wide. Vantage Mehdi Dev. I'm looking a light. That hurt. Advantage, by the way, Rod Labor in the house. We love that. Hashtag Rocket. Nice socks, thank you. As we get a fault, second serve. Hey, what's going on, Peaches? We're gonna return out from Alcraz, the back end of Mehdi Dev. Four-in-a-four Alcraz, again the back end of Mehdi Dev, into the back end slice of Alcraz. Mehdi with the forehand down the line. Alcraz on the stretch gets it. Mehdi with the forehand down the line again. To the back end of Alcraz, he gets it. Sliced Mehdi Dev. Alcraz there with the back end. Again to the back end of Mehdi. Into the back end, slice of Alcraz. Mehdi hits the back end. Again to the back end of Alcraz, he goes down the line. Mehdi with the forehand cross court, goes long. That Alcraz back end down the line. That's really testing Mehdi at the moment. Back to Deuce. Back to Deuce. All right, here we go again. Back to Deuce. Your socks match your shirt. That was an accident. By the way, Alcraz is winning every single point when it goes over nine shots. That is insane. As we deserve now, the return goes into the forehand of Mehdi Dev. Back end of slice from Alcraz. Into the forehand of Mehdi. Into the back end of Alcraz. Back end of Mehdi. Again the forehand of Alcraz. Into the back end of Mehdi Dev. As Alcraz hits the back end slice. Mehdi forehand. Into the forehand of Alcraz. Wow, the wind blows and it goes down from Alcraz. The wind took that ball. It was going like this and then it went like that. The wind is getting crazy now. Advantage. Jesus. The wind is getting really nuts. Advantage Mehdi. Advantage Mehdi Dev. As he serves the fault and the ball went like this. It's curving. The wind is going across the court. Serve down to the forehand of Alcraz. He gets a return. Back end of Mehdi Dev. Again the back end of Alcraz. In the net Mehdi Dev gets on the board 3-1. But man, that wind is kicking up. Mehdi's got to keep his cool. Here we go. Nearly 20 minutes in, it's 3-1. Alcraz. Nasty storm on the way. Yeah, it might be... I don't know if there's going to be a rain delay, but we might get... The wind's going to kick up. Well, that's a problem. The wind is going to be a problem. We'll keep an eye on the... I've got the radar up anyway. So if we need the radar up, we'll get to it. We're going to serve now the forehand of Mehdi Dev. Return goes in the forehand of Alcraz. Drop shot from Alcraz. Mehdi Dev gets it though. And Alcraz hits the lob. The lob goes in, Mehdi with the forehand. Cross-court, Alcraz gets it with his own forehand into the back of Mehdi Dev. Mehdi Dev in the net. So that drop shot wasn't as good because of what happened previously. The thing that happened lately, what I said before. Lots of span tonight. Oh, it's just because the matches are so crazy. The luck we got Dawn in the chat. People are just getting a little excited. Okay, advantage Mehdi Dev. Sorry, what am I saying? Mehdi Dev already had the advantage. 15-love disadvantage for Mehdi Dev. 4-1 to 4-hand as Mehdi hits a 4-hand on the stretch. The 4-1 of Alcraz. Mehdi on the backhand now with the stretch, gets it to the backhand of Alcraz. Into the 4-1 of Mehdi Dev. Into the backhand of Alcraz. Mehdi with the forehand. Again at the backhand of Alcraz. Into the 4-1 of Mehdi Dev. Alcraz with the 4-1 on the stretch. Alcraz making a lot of moves here. And now he makes Mehdi Dev move a little bit. 4-1 to 4-hand as Alcraz in the net, 15-all. And Alcraz looked a little off balance throughout the rally because Mehdi was playing so aggressive. 15-all. All right, 15-all. By the way, thank you everybody. We've got 3,000 people in the house. That is insane. Thank you so much for that. 3,000. Dude, I don't know what's going on. You guys are nuts. 15-all. Like the last week, like the last couple of days, almost bigger than the Australian Open. As Alcraz hits a great serve and the volley doesn't need a hit. 30-15. Like we've had, like, I'm not gonna lie. We're not quite like Australian Open numbers because that's a grand slam, but in terms of Master 1,000, we're hitting like ridiculous numbers for Master's 1,000, which is so crazy. I think we're smashing Indian Wells last year. So it's great. And no goats. I mean, no goats involved, and that's happening. It's nuts. So thank you everybody. And thank you Charlize Sarone who is in the house. Not in the chat, she's at the stadium. Thank you for the movies, whatever you're in. I can't remember. 30-15. She's great, right? Guys, we're back at Slice into the volley of Alcraz and he puts away the swinging volley, 40-15. 40-5. Is that Britney Spears? No, no, it's not. No, it's not. No, it's not. It was some random. I'm just glad that you knew someone by Namecam. Yeah. I know that lady from that movie. All right, as we had a serve now from Alcraz, down to the back of Medvedev. Alcraz with a serve in volley. Medvedev gets it with a slice, no he doesn't. And I love that. Alcraz is using the serve volley maybe once a game, but he's not letting Medvedev know when. So there's a cat and mouse chess game kind of going on, right? Medvedev knows the serve volley's coming, but he doesn't know what point because Alcraz is not using it at obvious times. It's like 30 or I'm using the, you know, no, no, no. He's making, he's mixing it up enough. By the way, I think Hawkeye's working again. So the crowd go wild. All right, let's answer questions. The question, the question, jerk. All right. It's Montreal, 2019 again. What happened to Montreal? What happened to Montreal? The mic's back on, we love that. Medvedev getting outplayed, yeah. He is, he's getting outplayed and there's not much he can do. I mean, Medvedev's got, you know, he's got the speed, he's got the consistency, he's got a big serve, but Alcraz is an all-rounder. Alcraz has got five different tactics to kind of options to combat this, right? Which is why I picked, why I picked Alcraz to win. I just couldn't, unless Alcraz played bad. Alcraz ain't playing bad. I must have 500 likes too, so thank you for that. Medvedev's one game away from losing, or losing it. Yeah, he might, he's probably gonna have a meltdown at some point today, Medvedev. I'm sure he's not gonna have a, you're not having a great time out there. The beer at Indian Wells is $25. It's punishing. Yeah, sporting events and alcohol and food is not worth. Bring your own. D-Y-O. Hey. Asterisk whooping loading. An asterisk whooping, I like that. Thanks, Zach. Hey, creature, thank you for the donation as well. Appreciate it. Thank you, thank you. Appreciate the donations, guys. Very generous. Just remember, you don't have to donate. Just saying. Well, like pink in the house, pink is definitely drinking coffee. Sure. Out of a coffee cup. Okay. Anyways, Medvedev, he's down 4-1. It's only one break. And Medvedev with a winner. Down the line. Unbelievable. What was it? Oh no, it was, yeah, okay, 15 love. Why the crowd not cheer? Maybe it was out from Alcraz. 15 love. Pink having a drink. I think pink's drinking coffee, or at least trying to hide it. Maybe she's sponsored by like a brand that she can't drink out of a certain, no, she can't drink random beers. Anyways, 30 love. Medvedev hitting a good serve in a big forehand. That's what he's gonna have to do. I feel like Medvedev's gonna have to go 2021 as a US Open. Final, you know, try and be big serves, big aggressive play. Like he did against Drucker, which winning that final, you know, find out from Medvedev, he comes to the net, Medvedev, Alcraz in the net. Okay, that's it. That's the play. Medvedev might have to play a little out of his skin today. Not. So safe. Unbelievable, no, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. Unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. Zach. This is the 2.5 month no loss Carly Stowe's we saw last year. Thank you, Zach for the five. Yeah, I mean, this version of Alcraz is definitely reminds me of that Alcraz when one Miami played well at this tournament, nearly beat Rafa and also beats, you know, Drucker's Rafa on clay. I mean, this has definitely got that vibe in that sort of March, April, May period. 4-2, Medvedev gets on the board again, 25 minutes played. Is Medvedev winning a set? Yeah, I think Alcraz in three. I'm gonna stick with that. You know, I reckon it's Alcraz in three. And so far, Alcraz is winning in one. Being in the house, wearing some wild earrings. The cats, not like cat shaped, as we had a drop shot. Oh, Alcraz, he did it again. He did it fricking again and we're gonna go to school because this is exciting. Cause I, it's so, it's just so, such a good idea. You know, it's such a good tactic from Alcraz. And it's something that Tiafo struggled with so much yesterday. It's so great to see that, you know, well, you know, Tiafo wasn't far away. Just didn't set the point up properly. And it's four out of four and as many in the net, 30 love. But it's so good to see that like, okay, well, yeah, that the tactic that Alcraz can do is doing. You know, we know we can do it, he's doing it. And it's working, working so well as 30 love 4-2. First serve is a fault. Hey, Candice, Angela Person is a bot in your chat. Okay. Now don't worry, I'm well aware that there's like fake people in the chat. Trust me. I know who's real and fake. We banned the fakes. As we're to find out from Alcraz, that's a massive winner. Huge forehand, it's 40 love. 40 love. There's also people in the chat pretending to be other people. There's bots. There's just all kinds of crap. I mean, that's what happens when you have 3,000 people. People pretending to be other people. People trolling like, you know, but we know it, we know it all. It's all right, Dawn's got it. And if no one doesn't have it, I'll jump in. 40 love. I'm going to serve now, serving volley. And again, Alcraz is the first serve volley of the game, but it didn't work because Mehvedev read the return. And it's 40-15. Thank you for the stream, no worries, Jake. Thank you for hanging out. Appreciate it. Not a great half volley from Alcraz, but Mehvedev return, he read that serve volley. Who's pretending? Oh, don't even worry. Definitely people pretending to be other people. I know, it's kind of sad and pathetic, but hey, that's the world sometimes. As we return now, the fallen of Alcraz, and that Alcraz falling goes wide, 40-30. 40-30. But now you get banished because you just get a life, you know, go, go, go outside, touch grass, all right? You're not welcome here. All right, 40-30. I pretend to be sober, says Dean. That's okay, you can do that. 40-30. Serve, down the tee, the fallen of Mehvedev, return goes in, Alcraz with a slice, goes into the fallen of Mehvedev, again to the back end of Alcraz, Mehvedev hits back end, into the fallen of Alcraz, down the line of the fallen of Mehvedev, Alcraz hit the fallen of the stretch, Mehvedev. Oh, it's out from Alcraz, from Mehvedev. Just goes out from Mehvedev, let's go to school for a second because I want to show you what he did before. So this is the tactic. We talked about it, it's been the drop shot, the setting up of the drop shot. And as I said, you can use this if you play tennis at home. You can use this tactic. So he's gone with the one-two punch. If we know the one-two punch, serve out wide, back end, or fallen of the open court. But he's kind of made it a variation of this. The serve out wide from Alcraz, right? Whoops, that's the wrong one. The serve out wide from Alcraz, right? Mehvedev goes out and hits the return and then the drop shot, I mean, look at this. How the hell does Mehvedev get to that? He doesn't, he doesn't get to that. That's the thing, let's do a yellow line. So Mehvedev's got to cover that much more ground, but Alcraz is good enough to execute that. But also, the thing is, Alcraz is knowing this before he steps up to the line. He goes up to serve and he's like, I'm doing this. I'm going to serve out wide, he's going to return it, and then I'm going to hit a drop shot. Like he, this is premeditated for Alcraz. It's not like, oh, I better do a drop shot because he's over there. This is like, I am doing this on purpose. And that's what makes some, that's what Tennis IQ is all about. That's what Tennis IQ is all about. And that is the perfect strategy against Mehvedev. You know, you don't have to serve volley, that also works. But if you get Mehvedev out of court and you can hit a drop shot, that's how you can beat this man. A tactic that maybe Sidney Pass could employ as well. I mean, he's obviously served volleying a lot more against Mehvedev these days, but he could also do that. Super smart play. And again, something you can do at home. If you know how to drop shot or you banter yourself a good drop shot, you don't have to push them out as wide as that because maybe, you know, you're not playing Mehvedev, but you can push your opponent out wide and then little drop shot in the open court because they have so much space to cover. And most of the time someone's going to look up and go, well, I ain't running for that. That's too far away from me. Screw that, I'm not going to try that. So that is what the strategy is and that is working. It's working for Alcraz. He's so much variety. As we return now to the back end of Mehvedev, back and up from Alcraz in the back of Mehvedev, into the back end of Alcraz, into the back end of Mehvedev, Alcraz at the forehand, into the net. Mehvedev, 15 love. And yeah, remember everybody, you can do great things. Yeah, we've got some inspiration in the school. Inspiration in the class. You can do great things. We all believe in you. 15 love. Maybe you can win Indian Wells one day. 30, 15 love as we get a serve and the return goes out from Alcraz. 30 love, Mehdi. 30 love. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, no. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. Unbelievable, unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. Backpack. Great call as usual, Cam. Let's go Carlos, tennis. Thank you for the five, yes. Let's go Carlos, he's doing well so far. Mehvedev just hasn't been able to sort of settle. I guess he's kind of reacting to what Alcraz is doing at the moment. He's not really figuring, there's not much he can do. 30, 15 is we're going to find out to the find of Alcraz and Mehdi comes to the net. I mean, that's, if you're Alcraz and you see Mehvedev coming to the net, you know you're winning. Like that is when you know, okay, I'm definitely making this guy play a game that he doesn't want to play, which again is a part of tennis. It's a different level. It's a different level of tennis. If you can get your opponent playing a game they don't want to play, it means you're in their head. You're winning the battle, the psychological battle. Mehdi wins the game, 5-3, but he definitely isn't playing the game that he wants to play. Mehdi rather play 30 shot rallies, just stand back and just hit the ball over. Alcraz is not going to let that happen. 5-3, Alcraz serving the first set. Alcraz. Goat, goat, greatest of all ties, Mount Goat. Tilly! Thanks for all the work you have done for IW. No worries, thank you. Tilly with a 20, can we get some solutions in the chat for Tilly with a 20? Geez, that's very generous, I don't think. I'm happy to be here. As we're back into back end rally, 5-3, there's been a slice now from Alcraz in the 400, Mehdi Dev, and Mehdi Dev hits it out. And again, Mehdi Dev getting a more aggressive. Again, another reason why Alcraz is winning this battle, he's making Mehdi Dev go away from his default, out of the comfort zone, right? We talked about the Rabakina comfort zone a few days ago, which didn't get exploited by the two players in the last couple of days, but Mehdi Dev's comfort zone is that baseline. And Alcraz is making him move closer to the baseline, which is not what he wants. He wants to be behind it, 10 meters at times. Back end from Alcraz, is good at the back end of Mehdi Dev, to the back end of Alcraz down the line, Mehdi with a 400 of the stretch, Alcraz with a volley, drop volley, because of course he does, Mehdi Dev can't get it. Again, because Tiyafo can't execute like Alcraz, that's why Alcraz can do this, and Tiyafo couldn't, because all about the execution, that drop volley wasn't even that good. It hit the service line, but Mehdi Dev was so far out of position, he was no chance. Again, Alcraz is playing smart, 30 love. Two points away from the first set, serve. Here's a fault, second serve, second serve. Alcraz is waiting for the crowd to shush. Someone's getting crazy. All right, 30 love, second serve. Down the T, the back end of Mehdi Dev, that return goes into the front of Alcraz, into the front of Mehdi Dev, Alcraz with the forehand, again to the back end of Mehdi, into the front of Alcraz, Alcraz hitting really deep, and then he hits a drop shot, it's in the net though. Now it was a terrible drop shot, the first time he's made a bad attempt at the drop shot. 30, 15, maybe because he knew like, oh, I've been doing this all day. Maybe just took it a little too easy there, Alcraz. That's the first drop shot miss that I can think of, yeah. Doesn't miss too many of those, not that badly anyway. 30, 15. Hey, thank you creatures for the donation, appreciate it. Thank you, thank you. 30, 15, serve at white, and a volley from Alcraz, drop volley. Is it in? It's in, Mehdi Dev couldn't get it, and again, he's gone with the tactic that I said, but we're gonna do a variation on that again. So the thing about Alcraz is he can do the strategies, but he has like three different ways of doing the same thing. And that's what makes him so friggin' crazy. Like that's what makes him better than all these other guys coming around because he can do, he can hit drop shots as a volley, as a baseline, he can make Mehdi Dev go out wide, like it's, he's just got big brain exactly. Anyway, set point, and a serve and the return goes in the net. Alcraz first set, six, three. He dominated that set. Mehdi did not feel like he was in that at all. Alcraz just took over and just carved him up, just, you know, crazy, crazy. Let's go to the school for a second. I know we keep going, but I promise this would maybe be the last time. So what Alcraz did there is he served out wide just like he did, you know, he was doing, but he did this instead. He came to the net and hit the drop volley here. So he did the same strategy except it was a drop volley instead of a drop shot. Again, it's, it's insane. This guy, this guy's crazy. You know, this guy's doing, and when you're playing that, when you're, if you're Mehdi Dev, you're going, well, what the hell is he gonna do next? Like it's so unpredictable. And Mehdi Dev just stands there and he's like, well, I don't know how to react to this. Anyways, 10 winners from Alcraz, 10 unforced errors, two winners from Mehdi Dev, 10 errors. So Mehdi Dev, that's a big win for Alcraz because Mehdi Dev is trying to play more aggressive and that's not working. Remember, yeah, remember the first final? Remember the first final? The reason why Rabakhinu was making Sabalenka serve double folds or the reason why Sabalenka was double folding, it's similar to the why, I guess the similar reason why Mehdi Dev's hitting errors, right? The reason Mehdi's hitting errors is because Alcraz is scaring him into having to play more aggressive and that's not Mehdi Dev's game. Mehdi Dev doesn't wanna be an aggressive baseliner. He's a defensive baseliner. So he's getting Mehdi Dev out of his comfort zone, scaring him a little bit into these bad errors. Again, I feel like the last two matches have been very psychological. I love it. Answer my question! I love it! The question shoot! I love it. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. Unbelievable. I don't care what they were saying. Anonymous! Thanks. Thank you! I think it was a five, appreciate that. What's the difference between a drop shot and a drop volley? So off the racket, they land in the same part of the court, but a drop shot is at bounces and then you hit it and a drop volley is you hit it in the air. So you don't let it bounce. That's the only difference. Execution and the position of the court. So drop volley, you hit it the net, drop shot, oh you can hit a drop shot at the net too, but you hit a drop shot after one bounce. And a drop volley after no bounces on the full. That make sense? Last year you were like, yeah, Elkres might win a title, win titles and slams. I don't think I said he wouldn't slam last year. I'm pretty sure I was the... Chat would know. I'm pretty sure I said Elkres is probably 12 months away from winning a slam. But I did say he's gonna win titles. I mean, the dude's got hella variety. And he's one set away from becoming world number one. That's, I mean, that is insane. That is what's crazy. Impressive for 19 year old. Exactly, he's 19 years old. I mean, that is what is crazy. I mean, he's playing the, some players play their whole career and can't do this. Like, can't even, like, don't, aren't this smart? Like, yeah, he has all the shots, but he has the brain to use them. You know, he knows how to use them. There's players that have all the shots, but they just don't have the IQ to execute them. You know, they don't know how to put them together. This dude knows, he's got the brain to match the shots. And that's what is incredible. It seems Elkres has smart coaching. Well, that's it. You got to give credit to the coaches, because he might, he wouldn't know all these things unless one class taught him too. So you got to give credit to one class for arrow, massive credit to him and the coaches, because they're the ones who are teaching him these tactics in, you know, in training. He has grown up right in front of our eyes. Yeah, and I mean, he's grown up like that. I mean, two years ago he played Mevvedev. It was not really close. This time he's whooping his butt. And I don't see how Mevvedev wins this unless Elkres plays bad. With Mevvedev, thank you, Zach. Mehdi's wall has fallen. Carlos two to zero halfway there. There we go. Thank you, Zach for the two. Appreciate that as Mehdi goes in the net. Because unless Mevvedev starts hitting his shots like in the U.S. Open in 21, there's no way that I don't know how Mevvedev is going to get beat Elkres unless Elkres drops his level. And that doesn't happen very often. Elkres doesn't seem to fall apart. He's not very shaky. As Mehvedev comes in with a volley. I mean, that is why Elkres is winning because he's now tricked Mehvedev into thinking I have to volley. Mehvedev is a mess. This is exactly like what happened with Sabalenka in the previous match. Sabalenka forgot what she was supposed to do. And Mehvedev is now serving and volleying and doing the weirdest things. All right, return goes in the backhand slice of Elkres. Back into Mehdi, into the backhand of Elkres. Get into the backhand of Mehvedev. Elkres in the backhand, I love 30. First game's with the second. There's another one, backhand to backhand, as Mehdi hits the forehand now, into the net. And again, Mehdi just getting aggressive. And it's not working, love 40. Yeah, Mehdi has zero clue what to do, exactly. He has no idea. Or at least he doesn't figure it out yet. There's probably something he can do, but he might not want to do it. You know, it's a game plan that he doesn't want to do. He serves a double fold and that, and Mehvedev shakes his shruggy shoulders like, I don't know, what am I doing? And that just shows how Mehvedev is just so mentally out of this. The mental battle, Elkres is walking around going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got this. The dude has got such a confidence. I don't know how, like, chat. Okay, let's try and figure this out together because I need your help. Cause I don't know how Mehvedev comes back or even if he can compete next time they play. How does Mehvedev beat Elkres down the track? If Elkres does this every time, what can Mehvedev do? Yeah, Mehvedev bamboozled. He checked out. Yeah, I mean, yeah. Mehvedev's tactics are wrong. Okay, what can he do though? Serve and volley? No, he can't serve and volley because he doesn't have a volley. Serving and volley will play into Elkres' hands because that means he's won the mental battle. Lift, okay, that's, what, weights? Cut his hair? See, look, you guys don't even know the answers. Like, I mean, Mehvedev doesn't know. The chat's making up, trying to be funny. I mean, it's a thing, you know? Be more, be super aggressive. That is the only thing I think as well because the only way that, like, he has beaten a guy better than Elkres before and that's Djokovic and he beat him in the US Open Final and that day Mehvedev went super aggressive. He hit a lot of winners as Elkres hit the serve and volley. Oh, get out of here with that. This is gonna be a big deal. Oh, it's filthy from Elkres. 30 love, it's a serving volley, it's a lunging volley winner. Well, no big deal. Elkres walks away like it was nothing. But yeah, so the only way I think Mehvedev can compete is go for the lines and be more aggressive but the problem is today, he's trying to do that because Elkres is kind of, I mean, he's trying to adjust but he's making errors. So it's not working, whereas in the US Open Final, Mehvedev was like hitting big second serves. He was playing super risky and it worked. Sometimes it doesn't. So even if he does do that game, it's no guarantee. 40 love. And Elkres is just, I mean, Elkres does not have to change. I mean, Elkres just keep doing his thing. Do not change. This is like, he's fine, he'll be fine. 40 love. Serving Elkres down to the corner, Mehvedev return goes in the net, it's two love. I don't know how Mehvedev get, unless somehow Elkres loses his mind, which I don't think or loses his ability. Right now, he's won the last 10 points in a row and Mehvedev does not look likely to win, like barely win games unless he gets some big serves. Confidence not there for Mehvedev? Well, that's the thing, he shouldn't lack confidence because he's won like 19 in a row. I think it's more, I mean, Elkres is just making him look bad and feel bad as he hits a great return and Mehvedev is just flat footed too. Love 15. Love 15. Mehvedev is just out of this. He's been served down to the front of Elkres, good return, Mehvedev with a forehand down the line, Elkres with a backhand pass, Mehvedev with a volley. See, didn't work in the net. Mehvedev in the net. He just didn't go for the lines on that one. Love 30. This might be the most one-sided final in the Masters we've seen in a long time. And it's not even between Djokovic and some, like Djokovic and a nobody. It's between two guys who are pretty close in the ranks or at least they have the same achievements, right? They're both won US Open's, they're both won Masters before, they're both being the number one as we're to serve now the return of Elkres. For Mehvedev again, the front of Elkres, into the front of Mehvedev, Elkres thought it was out and Mehvedev hits a winner. Elkres goes, why was that not in? But Elkres forgot that Hawkeye has turned back on, the umpire switched it back on. 15-30. This is the Parkinson's of the torch match. I don't know about passing of the torch because Mehvedev's sort of still in the middle. I mean, he hasn't even gotten a torch. Like, Djokovic sure has a torch, so I don't think Mehvedev got the torch. So you can't pass the torch if you don't have it. Savage. But hey, it's true. Back end of back end rally, again from Mehvedev, into the back end of Elkres on the stretch still. Chance for Elkres to get this double break. Has got a four end out of four end rally, Mehvedev down the line, Elkres the back end, Mehvedev gets it. With the back end again, to the back end of Elkres, into the front of Mehvedev, Elkres the forehand, into the net. Now it's better for Mehvedev, that's his rally. 30-all. That's his sort of rally. 30-all. Mehvedev doesn't seem to have the passion or desire to win. Yeah, I think he's just kind of thinking, what the hell can I do? Maybe he feels a little helpless out there as he serves a good serve. That goes in the net in the return of Elkres. I mean, I feel like maybe Mehvedev's just, again, I wouldn't say he's given up because we thought he gave up against Zverev and look what happened, right? But he does look a little lost out there. 40-30. Mehvedev's with a fault. Second serve. Second serve into the forehand of Elkres. Back end of Mehvedev is wide. And Mehvedev again, just saying to his coach, what the hell is going on? His coach just sits there in silence because he doesn't take no shit. No blame in there, no blame in Mehvedev's coach, that's for sure, he doesn't take that. All right, serves a fault. Second serve. I feel like Mehvedev's gonna try and serve, big second serves now, out of frustration. Oh, Elkres with a return winner. He didn't even try to hit that hard Elkres and he hit a winner. He just went, oh, I'm just gonna go down the line, whatever. It's like playing, it's like a coach playing against one of its students. Ha ha, and you're just like, oh yeah, I'm just gonna, you know, I've had enough. You know, I gave you a chance to win a game, whatever, mate, bang, down the line. Just jumping backhand winner for fun. On a return, second serve by the way. Another second serve coming up. Mehvedev, second serve into the back end of Elkres, he does it again, he does it again, and the ball goes out. Two jumping backhands on the second serve return. And Elkres is just chilling. He knows he's got this. He's like, do we have to play the next games? Let me just get the trophy now. Can I just start my speech? 11 minutes into the second sense, three love, too easy. And you'll wonder whether or not, how does Mehvedev change to get in this? Like, I don't know what, I don't think he's got the tools to beat Elkres going forward. Elkres is on steroids. All right, well, you know, just chill. By the way, the fact that people hate Elkres means that he's doing something right. So, you know, if you want to get all angry because the guy you don't like is winning, you're just going to have to chill. You're just going to have to get over it. Mehvedev need to use more topspin. I think Mehvedev does need to hit a ball a little deeper. He's in a little short. The way Charlize Theron is dancing away. Elkres is just amazing, yeah. Look, maybe next time they play, Elkres isn't playing as well, maybe. But if your tactic is, I hope my opponent doesn't play well, then you're probably going to lose. So, he's just too good, yeah. Elkres is just too good. Mehvedev needs to hit high to Elkres' backhand. That could be a tactic. Maybe a bit high on loopy, but definitely deep. He's got to hit deep in the court, otherwise he's going to get smacked. Can't believe this is Mehdi. Well, it's more than... By the way, there's so pink on the screen and it's like looking down the camera and like just talking to the crowd, weird. Anyways, that was a weird moment. Yeah, look, I don't know what Mehdi's going to be able to do. As that goes out from Mehvedev, and it's 15-love. Bagel incoming. No, I think Mehvedev will get a game. I don't think Mehvedev's going to get Bagel. This has kind of got a vibe of like Shfiontek versus everybody last year. Like, when we go into the finals, like, oh, that's going to be fun. And then it's like Shfiontek just kicking ass. You know, like, maybe there's a bakery opening in Spain. Is we're going to find out the backhand of Mehvedev, find it from Elkres, again, the backhand of Mehdi into the front of Elkres. To the front of Mehvedev on the stretch. Mehdi can't get it. 30-love. By the way, Robin Thicke in the house. Is he canceled? Why is he on the camera? Kind of that. 30-love. 30-love as Elkres serves again. To get to four love here in the second. We haven't even played an hour. This is incredible. The guy who's won 19 in a row is about to get Bagel. I mean, I don't think he will, but it's still going to get whooped. This is crazy. By the way, Zack said this, so Zack knows. Has been a serve, but we already knew he knew. As that goes into the backhand of Elkres. Backhand out from Mehdi. Again, to the backhand of Elkres. The backhand of Mehvedev. Elkres with the forehand. Inside out to the backhand of Mehvedev. Again, to the backhand of Elkres. Into the front of Mehvedev. Elkres with the backhand on the stretch. Now Mehdi's starting to hit the ball deeper. This is better. Backhand now down the line in the front of Mehvedev. Into the front of Elkres. Mehdi with the backhand. Cross court. Elkres there with his own backhand. As we were backhand to backhand rally. Now it's sliced from Elkres down the line. Trying to mix it up. He's got a four-hand to four-hand rally. Elkres goes wide, okay? That's more like Mehdi. 30-15. But he had to rely on the error. That's the problem. You know, it wasn't amazing from Mehdi. It was Elkres with an error. Here we go. 30-15. 21 shot rally. That's Mehdi's, that's where Mehdi wants to be. But, again, not a great strategy if that's what you want to wait for. Return out of Mehvedev. Backhand goes in. The front of Elkres. The front of Mehdi. Again, the front of Elkres on the stretch. Mehvedev with the four-hand down the line. Elkres gets with the backhand. Backhand on Mehvedev. Again, the backhand of Elkres. Drop shot from Elkres. That's a nice shot. Mehdi's there with the four-hand. But it goes out. 40-15. He hadn't even, see, look. Again, Elkres is not hitting drop shots every single game. But when he hits him, he's, Mehdi's not ready. You know, Mehdi's not ready now. It's not an obvious thing. He's like, well, I'm just gonna rally. And then all of a sudden, the drop shot is like, oh, shit, yeah, you're doing that too. Now he's probably gonna serve volley. 40-15. Just never giving Elkres Mehvedev the same shot twice. 40-15. Serving to the backhand of Mehvedev. Return goes to the front of Elkres. Elkres hits it out. Ooh. 40-30. 40-30. Another serve coming up here for Elkres to get to four-love in the second. Absolutely crazy. And to be world number one, I mean, that's incredible. That Elkres was not playing the Australian Open, but still will be able to be number one in the world. He had to win Indian Wells and he's not only being number one for Miami, but still, as we're gonna serve, into the backhand of Mehvedev. Backhand from Elkres. Again at the backhand of Mehvedev. Into the backhand of Elkres. Mehdi with the backhand. Again at the backhand of Elkres. Into the backhand of Mehvedev. Elkres gets the point. Mehdi in the net. Four-love. Four-love. Ridiculous. And this is, get into a point now where all the good work Mehvedev's done over the last couple of months and we're like Mehvedev's back and he's looking good and it could disappear like this. I mean, confidence is fragile. And it can disappear like that. If something bad happens, it's gone. Especially in tennis. You could be on top of the world one day and then you lose six-love the next day and you think you forgot how to play tennis. I mean, look at Sabalenka today. Bad loss when she won all those double faults. Her confidence is going to be shook on in Miami. So Mehvedev kind of needs some games here just so it doesn't feel as bad. So to find out the backhand of Elkres, slice into the backhand of Mehvedev. Get into the backhand of Elkres. Down the line to the front of Mehdi. Into the front of Elkres but Mehdi hits it out. And if he gets bagel here, this is going to be very, very hard for Mehvedev mentally. Especially if he has to play Elkres again. Especially if he has to play him in Miami next week. Love 15. Mehdi needs a new strategy. Yeah, but what is it? Like what can he do? It's not much he can do. He doesn't have too many options. He's going to find out from Elkres the front of Mehvedev. Mehdi hits it out. Love 30. This is going to be a Friantech special. This is going to be, this is Friantech like. Okay, here we go again. Love 30 to get the double break. Serving to the backhand of Elkres. Oh, sorry, triple break. There's a bit of slice there from Elkres. That goes in the backhand of Mehvedev. Again, the backhand of Elkres on the stretch. Oh, Elkres in the net. Elkres is at the point now where he can do whatever the hell he wants. He can just go for winners. He can go for drop shots. He can hit a tweener if he wants. I mean, he can do whatever the hell he wants. 15, 30. Serve out wide. Elkres gets it back. 4-0 from Mehvedev. He's good. Elkres ahead with the slice again. Mehdi in control of this rally and he gets a point. There we go. Mehdi's first serve. Percentage is high, but his points one is low. What do you reckon is the reason, Chad? What do you reckon? 30-0. There's a reason why that might be. With a serve down the C, that's a fault. Second serve. All right, second serve. Goes to the backhand of Elkres. And oh, Elkres just hits it wide. He's going for it, 40-30. He's not going for enough on the serve exactly. He might be just playing a little safe on the first serve. Maybe because it's windy. Maybe because he just wants to get as many as he can in. But if you hit a soft first serving against Elkres, he's going to play like it's a second serve. 40-30. And he has. He's going to return now from Elkres in the form of Mehvedev. Again, the backhand of Elkres. Into the backhand of Mehdi. Another backhand from Elkres into the backhand of Mehvedev. Into the slice of Elkres. Drop shot slice. All right, Mehdi comes to the net. Elkres with the backhand pass. It's wide. The Elkres can do whatever he wants at this point. He's comfy. Mehvedev on the board. The crowd go wild and Mehvedev's like, whatever, shut up. I've got a game. Many games. Four-one. He doesn't want your pity. I don't want your pity collapse, all right? You can shove him. Four-one. Elkres, two games away from winning back the world number one. And he won Indian Wells. I mean, that's something too, right? But trying to get back this world number one ranking. That's what he's really playing for. All right. Do you figure that Djokovic is studying this match? Um, yeah, I think Djokovic will probably be, like this will be something that, for both reasons, right? So how he plays Mehvedev next time and also how he plays Elkres next time because he's lost to both those guys in their last matches. So yeah, I think he's probably looking a little bit just to know what to expect from Elkres and know how to beat Mehvedev. So yeah, Djokovic would be, I mean, Goran would be watching this. Let's be honest. Djokovic is probably hanging out with his kids. But yeah, he'd be definitely keeping an eye on this. This is like Shriyantek, exactly. We get still on the menu. That's true. Mehvedev has winning run fatigue, that's all. He's played worse each tournament. Look, there could be something to that. I think Indian Wells conditions are not his favorite. He's spoken out. But again, I feel like it's such a, it's such an easy excuse to just be like, well Mehvedev's played three tournaments in a row and he's tired and the courts aren't his favorite. That takes all the credit away from Elkres and what he's doing right now. Elkres is making Mehvedev look as silly as he is. As silly as this is. The score line's silly, right? And that's the reason he's Elkres, not just because Mehvedev's played so much. It's, you gotta give credit to Elkres as much as some of you don't like him for whatever reason. I don't know why you wouldn't like this guy. He's freaking ridiculous. As much as you don't like Elkres, you gotta give him credit for this. I mean, this is insane. He's gonna return now to the front of Elkres, front of Mehvedev, into the front of Elkres, again to the front of Mehvedev, down the line to the back end of Elkres and the back end of Mehvedev. Into the back end of Elkres, down the line. That's a good shot. Mehvedev with a forehand. Elkres gets it. Want a forehand as Mehvedev goes again to the front of Elkres and Elkres hits a winner. I mean, that is not because Mehvedev tired or the courts are slow. It's because Elkres is so bloody good. He's a freak. Even Juan Carlos is like, I love my job. He loves it. Juan Carlos is like, this is why I coached this guy, because he makes it so easy. 15 love, Elkres. Nearly one hour played. I mean, that's, we're almost done. So, I guess early night. Backhand return there from Mehvedev to the front of Elkres. That's a good shot. Mehvedev gets it. Forehand as Elkres goes again, but hits it wide this time. A little over-aggressive, 15-all. Now, something that Elkres, that could happen for two Elkres, for Mehvedev, is Elkres could get a little ahead of himself up four-one. He's like, well, I can do anything. I'm gonna win. And get a little complacent. And if that happens, then Mehvedev might be able to sneak back in, but it's a long way back. Maybe get one break back. But only if Elkres starts playing a little silly, which we saw in, remember how we saw him in Rio? Elkres was like, well, I'm gonna beat this qualifier. And then all of a sudden he's in a third set. So, Elkres does have to be careful of that, that he doesn't get silly. As with a four-one-to-four-one rally, drops right there from Elkres, it's too good. Mehvedev doesn't try. This is gonna be on Vegas TV. He doesn't even try and go for it, Medi. Because Elkres knows that he's got the win and Mehvedev knows that he can't run for that shot. It's too far away. All right, 40, 30-15, six points away from lifting the Indian Wells Trophy. Why isn't Mehvedev getting mad? I mean, Mehvedev might be just happy with the final. He might be like, well, I got to the final of an tournament that I didn't like. So, that's a win. All right, 30-15. As we deserve again, out wide the back end of Mehvedev, four-one-one from Elkres, drop shot is again too good. I mean, he's just drop-shotting him out of this match, Medi. 40-15, ridiculous. And there's so many kids that have signs going for Elkres. I mean, this is so good to see that, you know, there's a couple of players that are inspiring a younger generation to give a shit about this sport. Like, that's what we need. You know, we need Elkres. We need Rado Khanna. We need Andrescu. We need Sfiantec, Rabakina. You know, these younger players, where Elkres is another drop, so he's not three in a row. Three drop shots in a row. Get out. This is gonna be our finish to you. Just get out of here. Three in a row. Even the Federer hat fan is, he's got a hat with Federer's name on it. He's like, woo, it's like, yeah. Even Federer fans are becoming fans. Yeah, all the kids have signs for Elkres. I mean, it's great. It's great for tennis. It's why Pink's sitting hammered. Why is that? Because she loves Elkres, or because she's been on Medi. All right, here we go. Serving to stay in the match and we've played one hour. Carlos Sfiantec. I mean, what's up? As we deserve. How are the four of Elkres? Good return of the four of Medvedev. Elkres at the back end is shanked wide. You know what this feels like, Chad? Does anyone remember a match last year that feels exactly like this? Does anyone remember last year, not Sfiantec, an Elkres match from last year? Does anyone remember? Last year, Elkres versus who? Who does this feel like? You'll remember it was actually a final two. As we return now to the four of Medvedev. Four of Elkres and the four of Medi. Again, the four of Elkres on the stretch. Medi with the forehand down the line of the net, 15-0. Exactly, Elkres versus Varev in Madrid. That's what this feels like. Remember how Elkres beat the goats? Then he came out and he destroyed Varev. He absolutely whooped him and has the exact same feeling. You're like, holy shit, this is a Elkres, it can't lose. Give him the French open, but then he lost his Varev in the French. So I feel like people are gonna get crazy right now. You're just gonna put a lid on it because remember what happened last year. He then plays Varev again and he lost. But man, it does have that same feeling, doesn't Pat? It has that same vibe and almost the same score line. Yeah, true. 30-15 as Medi serves into the four of Elkres. Back into Medvedev, into the back of Elkres, into the back of Medi. Elkres with the backhand on the stretch, Medi gets it. With the backhand again, into the backhand slice of Elkres, into the four of Medvedev. Elkres with the backhand down the line, that's a good shot, Medi gets it. Four on the forehand as we had a drop shot from Elkres. Medi gets there with a slice, drop shot back. Medi, Medi, that's smart. That's what he should be doing. And the crowd go wild. Because the first drop shot that he hasn't been beaten by in a while. 40-15. And the crowd are like, yes, I spent million dollars on the tickets. Woo, I can get to tennis. Man, you better shut your fuck up, okay? And then you hit left, and you don't say sorry, you think you're a new kid. I don't want to stop when you kept doing like this to the team. Except bullshit rushing, you think this is normal? Curious. This sport would be impossible to follow without your channel. Thanks for the hard work. No worries, thank you for the 10. Thank you Barbara for the three. No worries, thank you for the nice words. It's very generous. I'm glad that you follow the channel, I follow sport this way. Appreciate it. You spoke too bad. Andy. Charlie has the golden ticket today. Shout out to the chat. Thank you for the five. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. They're all coming in. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. Unbelievable, unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. Zach. Medi's wall has crumbled. If the Medi fans can help us pick up the debris. Savage, mate. Medi doesn't get, he's not going to any bakeries today. Five-two Elkraz, but it's still only an hour played. Mehbedev survives. Five-two Elkraz server of the championship. Thank you all for the donations, it's very generous. But yeah, I'm glad that I hope you enjoyed. I mean, I've had a great time. I feel like Indian Wells this year has been, it's been better than last year. I feel like the women's side has been way more interesting than last year. And on the men's side, I feel like it's been like a look into the future, right? We've had, you know, no Nadal, no Djokovic. It's given a lot of other players to play. You know, we've had Elkraz and Mehbedev play. We've seen Sinner in the, you know, the finals. We've seen other players step up like T.R. Foe. Yeah, I've had a great time this week. So I'm glad you enjoyed. I'm glad you, I hope you got something out of it. Hey, quality shot. Thank you for the, thank you for the gifted member. Appreciate that. Stacy is back. Green name Stacy, welcome back. Thank you quality shot. Very generous, mate. Appreciate that. All right, I dig. Let's give some solutions to quality shot there in the chat. And also go subscribe to his channel if you haven't already. All right, five, two, it comes down to this for Elkraz to really send. It's really, this is, and I said today, at the end of today, we're gonna look at this and we're gonna go, holy shit, things have changed. Because I think at the start of this match, or even the start of the day, we thought, you know, Sabalenka, she's dominating, you know, she looks beastly. Mehvedev's on fire, he's back. But with Rabakina and Elkraz winning, it does change things. He's like, holy shit, okay, Rabakina is maybe, you know, maybe she isn't just this fjontek slayer. Maybe she can be the Sabalenka slayer as well. And then Elkraz is just going, I am the next big thing. Like Mehvedev, yeah, okay, you've had a nice run, but I am the future. And that's what, I think Elkraz are putting himself back in the top, well, literally in the rankings, but also in the minds of everybody, that he is the man. Like he is the future of tennis. Love 15, as we're just served now from Elkraz, trying to get this championship. As he serves a fault, second serve, and I gotta be real, there was a part of me that thought this could happen, that Elkraz could just beat the crap out of Mehdi because of the styles. As that goes out from Mehvedev on the return, 15 all. And Mehvedev bouncing the racket twice. Just bouncing that racket. Yeah, Mehdi's not his day. Look, when it's not your day, it's not your day. He'll go to Miami and hope for a better day. Miami draw comes out tomorrow, by the way. All right, serve. Out wide is good, volley is better. Serving volley, he hasn't done that in a while. And again, Elkraz using the serve volley strategically. Not overdoing it. Lovely serve. And the lovely volley. All right, 30, 15, two points away. All right, here we go, 30, 40. Sorry, 30, 15, as we're just served down to see the fault of Mehvedev on the return. That goes in the front of Elkraz, drop shot. Mehdi gets it with the backhand. Elkraz with the forehand cross court. Mehdi with the volley. Elkraz there with the lob. Mehdi with the smash. Elkraz can't get it. He hasn't had many lobs today, Elkraz, and that was not one of his better ones. It's not good enough, 30 all. Mehvedev surviving. 30 all. Still two points away, Elkraz, but Mehvedev hanging around with some volleys, which the backhand lob was terrible from Elkraz. And not good enough. By the way, we're almost at 1,000 likes for this as well. Can we get to 1,000 likes by the end of this match, too? The last two matches of the tournament. Two of the biggest matches of the year. Indian Wells fits slam, we all know. Well, I'll tell you. Serving to the backhand of Mehvedev, returning the net from Mehdi. Championship point. And Mehvedev bouncing the racket. He's done. He is done. He's had enough. He's like, get me out of here. Get me on that plane to Miami. I've had enough of this stupid court, this stupid slob court. Elkraz championship point. To take the win in just over an hour and just send a message to everybody that he is the man. As he serves out what a fault. What did Rick Flair say? To be the man, you've got to beat the man. And Elkraz is beating the man right now. Or one of them. 40-30 serve out wide, the backhand of Mehvedev, front of Elkraz, open court. Mehdi gets with the front of his own. Elkraz forehand down the line. That goes out. Championship point saved. Mehdi, Deuce. Woo! Chat knows. Chat knows. That's it. Didn't he say woo? He did say woo. He went woo, woo. Back to Deuce. Championship point saved by Mehvedev. As Elkraz serves out wide, Mehdi with a pass. Elkraz the volley, that's just too good. Again, out wide serve, got Mehdi way out of court and then Elkraz just has to get the volley anywhere in the court to be a winner. And he does. Rick Flair also said, I'm going to give your wife a ride on Space Mountain. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh, Rick Flair, look, he is, he was. I like Muhammad Ali, one of the best trash talkers of all time. I wish we had a Rick Flair of tennis. Can we have a tennis version of Rick Flair, please? All right, advantage Elkraz. He serves in a tee into the front of Mehvedev. Mehvedev hits it out and there's the championship. Almost anticlimactic on that match point because it was just like too easy. He just served and Mehvedev hit it out. No, I didn't have to work on that at all. All right, and the tennis world changes again because Elkraz is back on top, baby. He's back at least for another month, maybe for another couple of weeks. He's got to win Miami to maintain it, but Miami's going to be fun. And he takes over the rankings. He said he was as well. He said, hey, I want my ranking back. No back, give it back. I didn't get to play in Australia, that's not fair. Give it back. And he's got it back. And he absolutely destroyed Mehvedev. I mean, that wasn't even close. Mehvedev's going to have to figure out something because that was not even close. GGs, GGs, not even close. I mean, I said three sets. At least I said Elkraz. Where's that guy that was laughing? All right, thank you, Noah's buried. And thank you for hanging out. We're going to sit around for a little bit because I got nowhere to be. Elkraz says thank you to the crowd. Hey, thank you, Keith for the five. Appreciate that. Here we go. We're going to hopefully hear the speeches. But man, man, oh man. What a win. And look, Mehvedev doesn't want to play Elkraz. I mean, Mehvedev is kind of like now in a position, I think kind of like, I guess, Rabakiner is when Shrevansek comes up. You know, Rabakiner is like, well, I like this is such a confidence win for Elkraz. Man, I think the next time they play Elkraz is going to do the same. I mean, how does Mehvedev get games? I mean, how does he even compete? All right, by the way, almost at 1,000 likes. Can we get there by the end of the stream? That'd be so sick. And again, 5,000 people in here at one time, that is insane. You guys have been very so supportive, not just donations and stuff, but like just hanging out. I mean, the fact that we have 5,000 people in here when the Tennis TV is live, you could have watched this on Tennis TV if you're from India. Maybe there's no one from India here, but you could have watched this on Tennis TV. And you still hang out here. I mean, that's incredible. That blows my mind. So thank you for that. I appreciate it. All right, let's answer questions and then we will figure out what we do next. Hey, thank you, Koli, for the dollar. Round it up. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. Jay! So happy for Carlitos, was unsure after the injury last month, then went on to defeat FAA, Sinner and Medvedev. Yep. Brainheart Tennis, Tennis Spain. Brainheart Tennis, Tennis Spain indeed. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. Huh! So Alcerrez could lose his number one ranking in Miami if he doesn't win it. Yes, because he has to defend all the points there and he's only this close. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. Hey, thank you, Peter for the five. So thank you, huh, for the six, Peter for the five, Jay for the five, Koli for the donation and Keith for the five. Appreciate those donations, guys. But yeah, so Alcerrez has to win Miami because right now in the live rankings and we'll do the, pardon me, we'll do the ranking show later tonight. Well, we'll do the, you'll see the ranking show come up later. Here's a thousand points to defend, Djokovic has zero. If Alcerrez doesn't win, he will be a hundred, if he gets a final, he'll be a hundred points behind Djokovic. So the final is not enough. He has to win Miami to stay number one. But I love this, I love it. And yeah, look, this is gonna be the same thing as what happened in Australia. You know, people are gonna come out and say, well, you know, Djokovic is the real number one, you know, Djokovic didn't have a chance, but then Alcerrez didn't have a chance in Australia to keep his ranking. So it works both ways. You know, Djokovic not allowed in America. Alcerrez didn't play Australia. They changed the rankings during those tournaments when the other was absent. But it sets up such, you know, if Alcerrez doesn't win Miami, I hope he makes the final at least, because that way we go into Monte Carlo and there's no excuses. There's no bullshit, none of this, well, if my guy was there, your guy wouldn't be one because that seems to happen all the time. Excuses and, you know, whinging. There's no excuses in Monte Carlo because they're both gonna be about a hundred points apart if that happens. You know, let's say Alcerrez doesn't win Miami and that way whoever becomes number one is number one. The true number one gets revealed, all right? Yeah, Wimbledon points, blah, blah, but we'll get over that. But that is where the, like, I feel like the clay season, if they're even, then we'll see who goes number one. Who's the real number one? Because I think it's a bit, we all know, we heard it with Medvedev, we hear it with Carlos, we heard it with, you know, we gotta, we gotta, I hope he makes the final Alcerrez, just to at least keep it spicy. Hey, thank you, Linnea, for upgrading your membership. Appreciate that. Welcome to the Champions Club. Now, you are the champion. Appreciate that, it's very generous. Didn't have to do that, appreciate it. Hey, thank you, thank you, Galaxy for the dollar, appreciate. But man, this is so much fun. I mean, look, it's devastating for Medvedev, right? Because Medvedev's now gonna figure out, okay, well, how the hell do I beat this guy? Because this guy's gonna be around for a while. It's not like, well, Djokovic's gonna retire and I'm gonna have my time. It's like, this guy's just getting started, so shit, now I gotta play him. I just played Djokovic, I thought he was gonna leave and then we wouldn't have, it would be the Medi tour. What's the schedule for Miami? I think it starts on Friday, Thursday. Can I listen to you and watch TV? That's the best way to watch the channel. Listen and listen on there and hang out with us. Not much you can do when he is in this mood, but I expected more of a fight for Denil, was playing short, true, and was rushing through the match. True? Yeah, I think the conditions and maybe the court. I mean, I think the court would kind of, Medvedev had it had enough. It looked like Medvedev not gave up, but he was kind of over it. He was like, oh, you know what? I hate this place. I hate, I love Indian Wells, but I hate this court, you know? Carlos has quite the physique. Wait till he gets older, he's gonna be a beast. Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, he's pretty slim, right? If he bulks up a bit, Jesus. I mean, even Rafa, go watch Rafa 2004. Dude, he was skinny as hell. Then all of a sudden Rafa 2006, he hulked out. And I think if Elkarez hulks out at 21, I mean, Jesus. You don't wanna play a muscly Elkarez. Can you imagine? Scary as hell. Is Miami the last hard court tournament before the clay? Yes, so the way the season works is Miami, the final hard court part of the year, is the final hard court event before like a six month break. And then after Wimbledon, we go back on the hard courts. So it's about six months between, so April, May, June, July, so four months. And then in August, we go back to hard courts. Five winners, 20 unforced errors from Medvedev, junior numbers. Well, that's the thing. The reason why is because Medvedev felt the need to play more aggressive, because Elkarez was just confusing him. Like Elkarez came out here straight away and just started with the variation. And Medvedev couldn't play two points in a row the same because Elkarez was not allowing him to get into a rhythm. And I'm sure Medvedev will mention that. He'll probably say he just didn't let me get into a rhythm because that's exactly what the tactic was for Elkarez is don't do the same thing twice. Don't let him get comfortable. Don't let him just get the ball back, you know, serve and volley, drop shot, hit big winners, make Medvedev, confuse Medvedev. And that's what I think he did the best here. It was, yeah, shot making was amazing, but the psychology of Elkarez and the way he played this match mentally, just, I think it started with that and then Medvedev got worse as it happened, right? So I love it. I thought that was one of the most high IQ tennis matches you'll ever see. I mean, it was such a high, it wasn't necessarily shot making, like I said, it was more about the tactics and the smarts and the brain of Elkarez, right? That's what won it, the brain battle. Hey, thank you for the two. The hammer broke through the freaking wall hammer. I'll tell you what, it didn't even take that long. It's like the first hit it broke through. I mean, he started to crack the wall after the first swing. I mean, that's what it was. I think of anonymous of the two. Yeah, I mean, we said at the start, this is the sledgehammer versus the brick wall. What's going to win? Sledgehammer was massive. The sledgehammer just bulldozed the wall. It was like a wrecking ball versus the wall. There was no sledgehammer. It was a wrecking ball. Where's Miley Cyrus? Is she swinging on it? Didn't think so. All right, Medved is the class act. Oh, Medved, look, Medved's going to have a great speech. I'm sure he's going to be like, I don't want to play you again. He's like, I don't want to play you. Can you go away, please? Medved talking about a service? Is he? I'm not listening to it. Nice speech from Medved. Always classy. Yeah, Medved is always very generous to his opponent too. He's never going to be like, well, I played bad because I played, he's always going to be like, you're too good. I think Medved has ever had like a salty speech. One of Medved's all time speeches is the US Open 2019 loss. When they played the video of Nadal winning slams and he's like, well, what happened if I won? Yeah, but you lost. And he's like, yeah, but if I won, what would you have done? Big congressional, the young man, yeah. He's making everyone laugh. Yeah, Medved is classy. Medved is hilarious. Medved is never salty. Sabalinga, too many double folds. Yep, you were not wrong. It's not too bad. Hey, think of it the two. Only sinner and run can beat Carlos at times. Yeah, I think we're going to have to figure out again. It's like, okay, well, what's the, he struggled against Elcaraz. You know, what is Medved going to be able to do next time they play? Because they're going to play again. This won't be a one and done. They're going to play again. Medved can't dodge Elcaraz forever. They're going to have to cross paths. So if Medved wants more slams, he's going to probably have to play Elcaraz to do it. How, and the only thing I can think of is, because we saw the same thing with Vera, right? It's Vera have got whooped in the final of Madrid and then beat him in the French. So maybe there's an advantage for Medved in five sets. Maybe, maybe that advantage disappears now that Elcaraz is one of the US open. Maybe it's not, maybe it's not a factor anymore. But how does Medved beat Elcaraz next time? Because I don't know if Elcaraz has got, Medved has got, has Medved have got a game that can beat Elcaraz? I mean, what beats Elcaraz? How do you beat Elcaraz? I mean, not like this. I mean, the Elcaraz we saw last year, sometimes you can beat him with certain ways, there's also Elcaraz wasn't playing like this. The way you, I don't know how you beat this Elcaraz, it's crazy. Could Nolle beat Carlos today? I think Nolle will beat Elcaraz next time they play. I do. I think Elcaraz versus Nolle is the next match I want to see. Now that we've seen this match, right? We were, you know, saying I want to see, you know, I want to see Elcaraz versus Medved. We saw it. We got the answers. I'm very excited to see Medved, sorry, Djokovic versus Elcaraz now, because we haven't seen that since Madrid. And Madrid is a fast court I want to see in Monte Carlo, because that's a slow court or a slow air court, then Madrid. So Elcaraz versus Djokovic on the clay, slow clay, maybe even in Rome. I want to see what that looks like. That's my net end. And obviously Elcaraz, Rafa, you know, but even Elcaraz, since he passed on clay, what does that look like? A lot of good matches. Not a mess. try Al-Qaraz's tactic against Mehdi, however it is difficult to deploy because of the execution. 100%, thank you Anonymous for the two. So, well, yeah, I mean, look, when we think how to beat Mevvedev, who wrote the book, we've seen a couple of players write the book, right, or read the book, how to beat Mevvedev. Kirios, serve big volley, come into the net, play aggressive, you know, mix it up. Sinti Paz then read that book and copied it, right, and went, oh, well, I can serve volley too, and it worked. Al-Qaraz today kind of went with the serve volley, but also the, you know, the drop shots, mixing it up, and kind of, I guess, just frustrating Mevvedev, or, like, just, just, like, not giving Mehvedev two shots in a row. But yeah, you're right, the execution, it's like, yeah, like, the tactics are easy, but the execution is the problem. Most players can't play like that. You know who I want to see play Mehvedev next? This is, you know, I, I, and maybe it's because I'm a UFC fan, but there's so many times when I like relate UFC and, and, and, tennis, right, there's one on one sport. But I want to see, just like fighting when it's like someone wins or someone loses, you're like, I want to see them play, I want to see Conor McGregor play, blah, blah, or fight, blah, blah. I want to see Mehvedev play Runa. And I want to see it next week. I want to see it in Miami. I want to see if Runa can do what Alcares did today. Because that way we're going to judge whether a Runa is as good as Alcares. Because if you do the same thing, because he can do that. I think Runa can do things like that against Mehdi, but is the execution as good as Alcares? Right? Runa's trash, Runa wins. Well, that's the thing. I mean, yeah, Runa might do it. Has Runa played Mehvedev? I don't think they played, or maybe they played, but they wasn't like, it wasn't at a time when we all, when anybody cared. Because that match, especially on hardcore, I don't want to sit on clay. I don't give a shit if Runa plays on clay against Mehdi. We, you know, that doesn't matter. Mehdi on clay is like basically a no show anyway. But I want to see Runa taking on Mehvedev in Miami next week. Why can't I find it? Where the hell is it? Why is the website only working? So they haven't played. That's what I want to see next. That's the next one. Because I think we'll find out a couple of answers, right? First, we'll find out whether or not Runa can be like Alcares. Second, we'll find out whether or not Mehvedev's got a problem with a lot of players that are coming through if they play the same style. And third, we'll find out, I guess, as well on a hardcore, whether or not Alcares is much better than everybody else or if Mehvedev has a struggle against certain players. If Runa loses to Mehvedev on a hardcore next week in Miami, it kind of makes it even better for Alcares. Because it's like, whoa, Alcares is actually, Runa couldn't do it. But if Runa executes the same as Alcares did, then we're going to have to put Runa in the same category as Alcares, right? If he's beaten Mehdi as well, then those guys have to play now. You know what I mean? Maybe we'll get all those matches next week. Maybe it's Runa versus Mehvedev when it plays Alcares, right? Also, I want to see Mehvedev play Alcares on a faster court. What does that look like? But I don't want to see that till like the U.S. open. I don't really care about me. I don't want to see Mehvedev Alcares next week. I don't want to see that match. We saw it. It's over. Let's move on. Peaches! Cameron, thank you for an exciting two weeks. Stay cool and best chat fam. No worries. Thank you, Peaches for the 10. That's very generous. I'm glad you enjoyed. Yes, we need a lot of answers. There's a lot of answers. And we might not get all the answers by the time we want them. I want all these answers next week, but we might not get any of them next week. We might have to wait until the end of the year before we see Mehvedev Runa play, or Alcares Mehvedev 2, or whatever. But there's so many matches that I want to see, not with the goats, because that's the thing. I want to start getting away, and maybe this week's been great. Without the goats, it's nice. It's refreshing to kind of go, okay, well, what is, without Djokovic and Dar, what have we got left? What's the ATP look like, right? And to get these exciting matches, and build up these matches, like that's my job. I'm supposed, you know, I'm a promoter as well at the end of the day. I'm promoting the sport, and I'm trying to tell you guys who to watch and what to do. So I want to see Mehvedev Runa. That's the next exciting matchup for me, because there's so many questions. Is Runa as good as Alcares? Is Mehvedev got a problem with the next generation coming through? Is that going to be a problem? Are the young guns better than the current gen, right? Siddi passes out his struggles against the young generation, right? Against Runa and Alcares, you know, Zverev as well. Mehvedev, is the 25 to 20, the 25 to 30 year olds going to have the problem with the young, with the kids? Like are they just skipping the line and being like, get out of my way, I'm winning the slams, and we're going to have another lost generation, right? We'll find out. We'll find out. I mean, a lot hangs on those kind of matches, right? Sinner Alcares matchup again. Yeah, I mean, that was great. I would love to see that again on Clay. Can we get that on in Monte Carlo? I mean, that would be great to see that on Clay. I want to see Siddi pass take Runa. Yeah, that'd be fun. But I want to see Siddi pass Alcares in Monte Carlo, and I'll tell you why, because Siddi passes the two time defending champion. He's gone for the 3P. Alcares right now is kind of getting back to where he was 12 months ago. And to get them in, especially if Siddi passes a good Miami, get a little confidence going in Monte Carlo and then play Alcares on a Clay court, where you've won two in a row. That's what I want to see, right? Medvedevin, Runa in Miami, Siddi pass Alcares in Monte Carlo. They're two of the matches I want to see. Unfortunately, it's not up to us, but maybe the tennis gods are listening. If we just pray hard enough, we might get it. I want to see Alcares, Rubelev as well. Okay, fair enough. Calatus is better on Clay. Well, that's the thing. I mean, he might be, but confidence is with Siddi pass at Monte Carlo. I mean, that's his place right now. He's a back-to-back champ. And also with the serve volley tactics, Alcares, using against Alcares, that'd be interesting. What else we got? Release the points. Oh, sorry. All right, we'll release the points. Thank you for, thank you, Deb. Hang on. Hang on. Let me just release the points. Anonymous. Great tourney. Really enjoyed it. Oh, good. Glad to hear. Thank you so much for the 12. Appreciate that. Anonymous. Goat, goat, goat, goat. Greatest of all time. Goat. Zack. This once caused you're the best streamer on the tube. Hashtag facts. Mate. Thank you for the 50. That's very nice as you say. Jesus, mate. Can we get some, a lot of salutes for Zack and also for anonymous as well for the 12 and peaches for the 10 and all the other donations that have come through? Jesus. Zack, mate, you didn't need to do that. You already donated enough, mate. Thank you for the 50. Bloody hell. There, that's a good, thank you, Chad. Who is the goat? A TBD. To be determined. Cam, you improved my knowledge of tennis greatly. I was a fan and now I'm hooked. Yes. We've got another one, Chad. Lottie, I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry that you're losing sleep and you're going to be addicted to this sport. I love it. I must be doing my job. Love that. We need to wait five minutes before we can check points again. Yeah. So I've just released the points. I've given Elkres fans or Elkres, the ones who picked Elkres, their points back. I can't don't want to see this match again. I don't want to see this match for like, again, I watched so much UFC and I watched the MMA holes for the UFC and they always say the same things about like, I don't want to see this fight again, right? Like yesterday with Usman versus Leon Edwards. No, I don't want to see that fight again. I don't want to see this match again. You know, we saw it, Elkres, I don't think Medvedev playing Elkres next week is going to change anything, right? I want to see them play maybe at the US Open Series at the end of the year, right? Let's like, let's get them playing in September, maybe August, September, right? We saw it. I don't think Medvedev is going to change his tactics in a week. So it's going to be the same thing next week. Let's get over that, right? Let's move on. Let's move on. What I do want to see is I want to see Runa play Medvedev, right? I want to see Elkres take on next week, you know, Elkres versus Cinder again, maybe, on a faster court against Cinder. And Cinder's played well in Miami before. Cinder nearly won Miami. So the quicker court's my favorite Cinder. So I would love to see that again. You know what I mean? But yeah, there's a lot of, there's a lot, I don't want to see this match. I don't want to see, if I see Elkres and Medvedev in the same quarter, I'm not going to lose my mind. I'm going to be like, well, really? I want to see Medvedev as a city pass, all right? Let's get that back. Let's hopefully get that match instead. We can save this match. We can shelve this for six months. In fact, I would rather see these guys play on the indoor courts. Maybe not even at the US Open series. Let's save another rematch for Paris or Vienna, right? Where Medvedev's got the advantage court-wise. That's what I want to see. If we see them next week, it means nothing. I think it's, I mean, unless Medvedev wins, right? It doesn't mean anything. So I can't, we saw that. Moving on. Rubler, Medvedev has an exhibition in tomorrow in Mexico. Really? That's kind of odd. Random. This match did not really live up to the hype. It's like a bad meal. I'm going to be honest. I like kind of like, I mean, we didn't have a three-set match since the quarterfinals. So I mean, nothing lived up to anything. I'm going to be honest though. I feel like this match wasn't disappointing. Even though it wasn't very exciting, it wasn't disappointing because we learned something. That's kind of how I look at matches. I don't look at them as like three sets of good and two sets of bad and bagels of bad. I feel like if I take something away from a match, then it's been a good match. And I took a lot from this match, especially on the way of Elcaraz. This guy's how freaky he is. It was a great match from Elcaraz. It wasn't a great match. It was a great match from one guy. But I think we learned a lot. We reminded ourselves how good Elcaraz is. We learned that Medvedev is going to struggle with this guy. I mean, this guy is not going to be fun for Medvedev ever. So yeah, better than the WTA double fault fest. Well, the thing we learned the most about the women's final for me anyway, the thing I learned is Rebakken is number three in the world. Just hasn't got the ranking, right? Just hasn't got the points yet. And that she is in the Trinity. Is that the Holy Trinity, right? Is that a thing? You've got Shfionsek. You've got Sabalenka. You've got Rebakkena. I mean, the three, the big three, right? If you want to go with that terminology, I feel like Rebakkena put a hand up. Hey, thank you, Flora. Cam, thanks for the terrific coverage of IW. No worries. Thank you for the 10. Appreciate that. I'm glad you enjoyed. Thank you for the 10. So many fun, so many, so funny when Medvedev thanked the court. Did he? We have to, we have to get that as a sound. That is too good. If Medvedev was sarcastically thanking the court, that is too good, too good. I'm going to have to make that sound, because if he starts complaining about the clay, we're going to play that every time. Did the chat win today? Yeah, the chat won. Yeah, the chat won. Well, we don't care. Nobody cares. Chat doesn't, chats, chats, whatever. Yeah, chat won by like three minutes. I want to see Rubelev City pass. Okay, nice. Yeah, let me know the chat. What, after Indian Wells, you know, we've been through it, we've been, I mean, we'll wrap up after this. We've got Miami coming up in like two days, so it's not like I'm going to, you're going to miss me. You probably need a break. We need, look, it's not you, it's me, chat. All right, it's not you, it's me. Or maybe it's me and it's not you, it's me. Wait, it's not me, it's you? No. What's the saying? I don't know. Anyways, it's not, it's not, it's mutual. It's not anyone's fault. We're just going on a break for two days, because there's no tennis. But let me know in the chat, what is the matchup? After the two weeks that we've had, you know, I feel like we've learned a lot. I feel like we've seen a lot of matches that we've kind of wanted to see, or, you know, we've got rematches, we saw Sabalenka, Rebacana rematch, we saw Schviontek, Rebacana rematch, we saw Mevin of Elcaraz, which we were waiting to see for 12 months. The only thing we didn't get to see is goats, but I feel like outside of the goats, we saw a lot of things that we needed to see. You know, I feel like we really did get a lot of answers this week. But going forward, going to Miami, what do you want to see next? What matchup do you want to see next? I've told you mine, I want to see Runa vs. Mevident. But, and I want to see, you know, the ladies, I just want to see them keep playing each other. But what do you want to see next week in Miami? What matches do you want to want? Not more matches, you want to see first round, but just in general, like who do you want to play? Alcra City Pass in Monte Carlo. Okay, that's on my list too. My list too. Murray Runa, okay. I mean, do you want to see Vavrin? We all want to see Vavrin converse of Runa's part three, right? That's another one of mine that I want to see. Sinner Elcaraz again, nice, I like it. Fritz vs. Elcaraz. That is a very interesting one. I like that. I think I like that. Elcaraz vs. Varev, okay. FAA's Varev, interesting. Rebacana's Fiontek again. I want to see them play on clay. I don't want to see them in Miami. It's kind of like this match. I want to see them on a different surface at a different time. I want to see Medvedev, Elcaraz, and Wimbledon. What about that match? That's an interesting match. Stan vs. Runa, yeah. Sinner City Pass. Did we see that? We saw that serene and open. Yes. I want to see Sinner beat City Pass last time they played. It was a bit of a flop, but it was a turnaround. That's a good one. Varev vs. Vrenka, okay. Fritz Varev. Kirios Carlos. Yeah, unfortunately, we're not going to get keyed for a little while, but I want to see Kirios. Yeah, we might be seeing that. No Djokovic in Miami, so yeah, we can't be seeing Djokovic. But we can see Djokovic in Monte Carlo, right? So Djokovic, Elcaraz Monte Carlo. Elcaraz Runa, yeah. Kojikova Rebacana. Monica. I think you already said, did you say that the other day and I had the same reaction? Yes. Kojikova vs. Rebacana. Because we've seen every other variation, haven't we? We've seen Rebacana Sabalenka twice now. We've seen Rebacana Sfiantek twice. We've seen Sabalenka Sfiantek last year a lot. What the hell does Kojikova look like against Rebacana? That's the only match we haven't seen recently. Oh, I like that. That might be my Miami match. I want to see that. We're not going to see it to the final though. That's the problem. They've got separated. So the final, they're going to have to make the final, but man, I like that. I like that match. It's very city pass. Oh yeah, it's very city pass. It'll be fun. I haven't seen that. We haven't seen that for a while. Rebacana Elcaraz, okay. Murray vs. Top 10. Yeah, Elita vs. Barbora. I mean, the two matches from Miami that I want to see and the women's side, we won't get it probably because it's going to be tough to get there again. But I want to see Kojikova taking on Rebacana, yes. And I want to see Runa Mevedev. They're my two matches that I would, my matches I want to see in Miami, if they happen. Man, look Chad, the fact that we get it like five years ago, the only matches anybody ever wanted to watch was Federer Nidal, Djokovic Nidal, Federer Djokovic, Serena against somebody in the Top 10. Now we're starting to want to watch matches that, I mean, this is what tennis is, this is why tennis is so good right now. Because there's so many matches that it's like, like we don't want to just see the goats. It's not like, oh yeah, like, yeah, everyone wants to see Murray Vavrenka, you know, as a nostalgic match, but we're all looking at them, the current players, you know, and we're like, that is a great match. You know, that matchup, like Runa versus Medi, right? Five years ago, nobody, nobody wanted to watch, nobody knew who they were. So yeah, Rude Runa. I want to see that on clay though. I don't want to see that in Miami. I want to see it on clay. Maybe Monte Carlo, right? But yeah, tennis is so good right now, you know, that we're not talking about Federer Nidal or Bust, you know, Federer, Nidal, Djokovic or nothing. I don't give a shit about tennis unless the goats play. We're actually getting all these, because most of the matches with Federer Nidal, we're on the finals. We never got to see them in the first rounds. Some of the matches you guys want could be a first round or a second round. I mean, I wanted to watch Bianca Andrescu versus Emirotic Karnu last week. I was like, we haven't had that. And then Miami's like, here have it. They gave it to us on a silver platter like we asked for. I mean, it's crazy. If Runa and Medvedev get into the same draw, then maybe Miami's doing it on purpose. Tinfoil hats on. Maybe it's on purpose. Is Miami as fast as the A.O. or U.S.? Well, here is the court speed from a few years ago. Miami is sort of as far, it's not as fast, but it is a faster court than Indian Wells. So it's sort of that between, you know, this again, this is data from maybe 2020. So it's a little bit old. But from last time they checked, it was sort of, it was faster than, faster than Indian Wells. So it's going to help Medvedev is going to like playing in Miami much more than Indian Wells because he's served, he's going to work well, he's going to be able to hit harder. He's not going to be able to, he's not going to have to play these long rallies or at least he's going to be able to use weapons, you know, even we're back in a mind of a better time. Draper versus Shelton. That's a fun one too. Big serving lefties. The problem is that Draper's injured. So hopefully Draper gets better and they play, that could be a first round next week. I mean, they're both unseeded. That could be first round winner plays Elcaraz or something, you know, Shelton Elcaraz. What does that look like on a fast court? I don't want to see it there. I want to see that in, I want to see that in the end of the year. Shelton Elcaraz in, in Cincinnati. Save it for Sinsi. Let's save that one for Cincinnati because if we, I don't want to see it here. If we see it in Miami, great. But I want to see, I feel like in Cincinnati, give Shelton some more time on a bit of quicker court, you know, fast court, Cincinnati's pretty quick. Shelton versus Elcaraz. Elcaraz Rotacanu. Well, that would be hilarious. I mean, that would be great. You mean like what? Dating or Moussedi Draper? Well, I mean, what are you doing? Are you trying to, are you trying to trigger me? Thank you, kid, for the 10 bucks. Appreciate that. Thank you for the 10. Leon Edwards versus Carlos Elcaraz. What, playing tennis or playing doing USC? Thank you, kid. Appreciate that for the, I think for the 10. We're going to sign off in a minute because I am going to, I have work to do. So I have to put things together. Man, there's so, I mean, yeah, there's so many matches. I love the fact that we, like, there are so many matches that are not even top 10 clashes that are so interesting. And we're going to hopefully get them all. And when we do the preview tomorrow or when we watch the men's draw tomorrow, uh, let's remember all the matches that we want to see next week. And let's see if we get any of them because next week we might get Rebecca and a versus fiance quarterfinal part three. Even though it's two zero, it could be a third trilogy already. Uh, and also we get Kojikova versus Sabalenka quarter fourth round, possibly a trilogy there as well. So we might have a couple of trilogies next week to watch, which is really exciting. And then, um, you know, on the men's side, we'll find it tomorrow. Team Eddie, uh, Team Murray first round, that'd be fun. That would be fun. Actually, like not even a lie. Dominic team versus Andy Murray first round. Have they played already? I don't think they have. Got to admit, Cam, that even though he's very lost as many, he did perform much better and gave it his all. Yeah. Even though, uh, he's very lost to me. He's very, I should have won that match. Like it's very, I shouldn't have lost to me. I think Zverev beats Medvedev. And then we have a different final, a totally different final. Alcra's versus Tiafo maybe, but yeah, yeah, you're right though, Dan. Yeah. I mean, uh, Zverev played amazing even though he lost. Just didn't play well at the end. No worries. Thank you everybody for an amazing couple of weeks. India Wells done and Dustin 2023 in the bag. And we have a big week of Miami next week, but, uh, we've got some, we've got some preparation to do. We're going to put the ducks in a row before we start shooting them down tomorrow. Miami men's draw coming out. We're going to be watching it. Make sure you join us. It's on a stupid o'clock. I'm going to wake up at two in the morning just to watch it because I'm psycho of a psycho. So stay tuned for that. Uh, we'll be live to watch that, of course. And then, uh, without, you know, with the draw, draw ceremony show. And then we've got the ranking show coming up later today. The rankings coming up later today. We have a new number one. Also some massive changes in the race of the finals to start and take shape. So make sure you watch that as well. Uh, and then, of course, during the week, we're going to have, uh, the draw previews coming out and then on Miami, uh, starts Thursday, Miami starts Thursday and, uh, first round, maybe Rotterdam versus Andrescu, first round. I mean, that's happening maybe on day one, but we'll find out again. Thank you so much. Uh, big shout to everyone who's donated over the last couple of weeks. Very, very generous. Thank you all the new subscribers. Thank you for watching all the videos that have come out. Thank you for watching all the, uh, all the, you know, the point, uh, the match previews that we put a lot of work into. Um, so thank you. Appreciate everyone, uh, hanging out and chatting. And I'll see you in a couple of days. I'll see you, uh, tomorrow. I'll see you tomorrow for the men's draw. Uh, and then I'll see, if we don't see you then, I'll see you in Miami and, uh, on Thursday. But thank you so much, everybody. Indian Wells done and dusted. Uh, 6362. Elkress destroys Mervit in the final after we got Rebecca and a beating, uh, Sabal anchor in the women's final. Elk is the number one for Miami. Can he stay there?
