 All right everybody, welcome to the semi-finals for the men's French open and man We have got one of the most anticipated matchups Of the year of I don't even know. I mean, it's it's like a goat versus goat battle That's what it feels like Nadal versus Djokovic. It's what it feels like Veteran Nadal it feels like one of those matches. It's insane Elk res taking on Djokovic is the match before I mean the next match I feel bad for the next one It's very been rude. Everyone nobody cares about that We'll go through that later, but we've got about an hour to go until the match officially starts. So We're gonna get through this because there's so much to cover. There's just so much If you've watched the previews already done those we'll go through that in a second We'll go through like a mini preview and then an extended preview and then hopefully We have a special guest lined up as well. So for a little extra But man, what a match this is gonna supposed to be now we had epics yesterday We had epic matches in the in the well, maybe unexpected in the first match You know probably match of the year I mean that's gonna be hard to beat and then we had the triumphant take match after which was close and interesting As well, but this is just a whole different thing. This has so much when it comes to you know What the future of tennis looks like is the future now is? the You know is the old generation still got it have they you know the goat still got the slams or is Elkres changing that it's It's huge first time. They're playing in a slam. We obviously got the preview last year in Madrid. We didn't get the rematch Unfortunately, but we waited a year for this. We waited a year. We didn't get in Australia either because remember jokovish didn't play the US Elkres wasn't great at Wimbledon And then Elkres pulled out of the Australians open. So this is the first time we actually get to see these guys even close In the draw because the last time they played in the same tournament at a slam was Wimbledon where Elkres lost a sinner which Again, could have easily been you know, maybe that's where they would have played at Wimbledon if sinner had a loss But let's get the preview the mini preview and then we'll get to the big preview because These guys have played that one match that was arguably match of the year last year Novak jokovic versus Carlos Elkres is a first semi-final for the men's French open for 2023 and both guys have had similar roads to get to this stage Jokovic entered the tournament as the number three seed and would take on Kovacovic in the first round There's no problem for no way winning in straights 6-3 6-2 7-6 and the second round he take on footchievic and after a long first set jokovic would win in straights 7-6 6-love 6-3 and the third round he take on Fakina the 29th seed and this was so far jokovic's toughest match getting through a long Straight sets win 7-6 7-6 6-2 in the fourth round he take on various Who would play 3-5 setters including beating her catch the 13th seed along the way This is jokovic's easiest win getting through in straights 6-3 6-2 6-2 to advance to the quarter finals in the quarter finals Jokovic would take on the number 11 seed hashenov and after dropping the first set jokovic would fight back to win in 4 4-6 7-6 6-2 6-4 to advance to the semi-finals Alcora started the tournament as the number one seed and would take on kabali the qualifier in the first round This is no problem for Alcora's getting through in straight sets 6-love 6-2 7-5 in the second round He take on Daniel and after dropping the second set Alcora's would fight back to win 6-1 3-6 6-1 6-2 And the third round he take on the 26th seed Shapovalov a player that he never played before and this is no problem for Alcora's Demolishing Shapo 6-1 6-4 6-2 in the fourth round he take on the 17th seed Musetti who he had lost to in Hamburg on the clay last year and Alcora's was on another level Dominating Musetti 6-3 6-2 6-2 to advance to the quarter finals in the quarter finals Alcora's would take on the number 5 Sidney Pass a man that he'd beaten a couple of months ago in Barcelona and again Sidney Pass had no answers with Alcora's winning in straights 6-2 6-1 7-6 to advance to his first semi-final of the French These two have only played the one time before that was in Madrid last year with Alcora's getting the close three set win We've been waiting over 12 months now for the rematch Which is finally here and of course the French open is going to be a lot slower than that Madrid surface 12 months ago Djokovic is going to win this one He needs to get off to a better start than he did against Hashinov against Hashinov He trying to turn it up at the end of the second and the third set was amazing But he can't afford to give Alcora's that first set because that's what happened with Sidney Pass and Sidney Pass got run over. Alcora's going to win this one He needs to play really well at the start He also needs to finish off the match as well because he does get a little bit silly in the third set We saw that with Sidney Pass we saw that throughout the tournament He kind of falls asleep at the end of the third You can't fall asleep against Djokovic because he'll make you pay This is such a great match and we've been waiting for this over 12 months now The goat versus the prodigy and we get a rematch and I think Djokovic is going to get it I reckon it's going to be a five set banger might be the match of the year And I reckon Djokovic is going to get this one in the five sets But let me know down in the comments below who's going to make the final Okay, there it is We'll go through that again if you're just joining us We'll go through that again later as the match starts But here it is, quarterfinal lineup We had three-four setters which is kind of rare And then of course that Elkarez beat down There's the lineup That's what's on for today We've got Elkarez versus Djokovic followed Well, hopefully followed by Ruud's Verov which is pretty much after This one and the winners all play each other, of course Djokovic winning against Hashinov, dropped one set there That's his only set he's dropped for the week Elkarez won in straight sets against Sidney Pass He's dropped one set also this week And you can see there Ruud and Verov will go through them a little bit later Novak Djokovic, the man with all the badges Number three in the world, 36-year-old from Serbia Six-for-two right-handed, 20 wins, four losses on the year Two titles to go with that 93 career titles, including two French opens We all know he's gone for 23 This is exactly like, this is exactly like the, I guess, the final, I guess Because there's got a lot more and we'll talk about what else it has on the line as well There's his form, his form has been great And of course Elkarez, he's number one in the world He took that before the French open 20-year-old from Spain, he's six-for-two right-handed 30 wins, three losses on the year, it's been insane Four titles to his name, including Madrid Where he went back to back, and of course Barcelona as well And you can see his form, he's been great Rome wasn't great, but his form overall has been great And there's that one match, we're going to go into that Really deep dive into that 2022 Madrid open Because I will re-watch that today Because I was that excited Yeah, I re-watched it I also re-watched this Varev match In a little bit of extended highlights 30-minute highlight version of it Just to kind of figure out, okay What did Zverev do last year that caused Elkarez so much trouble And why didn't Djokovic beat Elkarez in Madrid What were the reasons behind Djokovic not winning against Elkarez there Or reasons why Elkarez beat Djokovic And why did Djokovic, so why did How did Zverev beat Elkarez And how did Elkarez not beat Zverev Because of course, going into that match If you remember this time last year Nobody really expected Zverev to win It was like, ah, you got, your ass kicked You know, you got lost last time You're not going to beat him All of a sudden he's up two sets of love But he almost, almost played a fit set that day We'll talk about it as well Detective Cam on the case You know me, I do my extended research Sorry, let's start with this tournament And what these guys are about to do Djokovic has played so much more tennis At the French Open Of course he plays longer matches in general But he has played so much more This French Open in comparison to Elkarez Let's go have a look at it together So, you can see here Kind of That's, let me fix it There we go Um, there you go There we go, Clay, Paris, Elkarez They both played five matches Elkarez's last match was two hours Djokovic's was three and a half But look at the total time on court Ten, just under 11 hours for Elkarez And 14 and a half almost for Djokovic So, a lot more time on court for Djokovic Of course he played, they played the same amount of sets They both played the same amount of sets And you know, it's not like anyone's played a five setter But Djokovic matches, the Fuchovic match The Fakina match, straight sets, long And Elkarez's Blitz, guys You can see their aces there for Djokovic 31 aces, 18 double faults Which is a little bit interesting Because I think something, the serve is going to come in big for Nolay If he's going to win this one, we'll talk about that The reason why later You've also got Elkarez, 17 aces, 9 double faults You know, his serve is good, but it's not what he really Well, you know, the kick serve out wide is definitely a tactic But it's not going to matter as much as some of the other shots Elkarez has 70% of first serve points won for the entire tour Sorry, 70% of the first serves in for Elkarez So very good on the serve As opposed to Djokovic, it's 64 So Djokovic is going to have to serve better than he has on average for this tournament They're both going to have the same amount of points on serve 73, 74% Second serve Djokovic Now that is again going to be a huge stat We're going to talk about a lot in this match Because that second serve is going to get attacked by Elkarez It's inevitable We know Elkarez is aggressive He's going to use his forehand and smack that second serve back So Djokovic needs a hit as little or second serves as possible today Needs to be like probably 75-80% of first serves in We'll talk about why Because I did again so much to go through You can see there they played five tie breaks Djokovic One tie break for Elkarez They've all won every tie break We're going to get our tie break They had two tie breaks last time they played We're going to get one tie break minimum I'd expect Return points won Pretty similar around that 50% mark Service holds Elkarez has held more than Djokovic So Djokovic hasn't been broken that much But break points almost identical Nearly at 50% of break points won So that's again another massive step We're going to keep an eye on for the rest of today But let's talk about the last time they played Because the last time they played It was the match of the year Like I mean maybe outside of the slams Match of the year of course People were going to say Nadal Medvedev and the Strelat Bufano was bigger Which he probably was But last time they played it was in Madrid And I've also got all numbers for you If you like stats you'll like this So let's just fix that up Where are we? There it is Let's talk about the last time they played Which was of course in Madrid last year Now here are my notes So you can see there Djokovic, Elkarez They played for three hours and 36 minutes Which funny enough is kind of the average Of Djokovic's matches throughout this tournament So Nole, the last time they played It was just another day for Nole at this tournament here Elkarez hasn't played a long match like that this week Will that make a difference? We'll find out Elkarez had the home crowd support Djokovic was very defensive When I re-watched that match today He was very defensive in that match He was standing back A little bit of loopy shots A loud Elkarez to come in It hits a lot of swinging volleys And a lot of aggressive volleys Which we know Elkarez loves to do So Djokovic was a little bit too defensive In that first meeting A lot of chances of 30-all and deuce as well I noticed There's a lot of reason why it was Three hours and 36 minutes A lot of long games Deuce, 30-all So that also is something that The pressure points we talk about That's something that's going to be really interesting to see Who can take those points And Djokovic catching Getting caught off guard by the drop shots That was massive as well Because of course they've never played So Nole didn't know exactly What he was dealing with With this guy And the drop shots were catching Djokovic off guard Also We all know about Madrid It's not the French open Madrid is fast Madrid is a fastest clay court than everything else It's high altitude It allows the big hitters I mean, look at the final this year We had Strouff A big serving player in the final Strouff lost first round of the French So something to keep an eye on as well Is like, you know, this is not the same surface As we saw and not the same conditions as Madrid So, and those drop shots May not catch Djokovic off guard today Because You'll know what's coming Now, you can see there that day 51 winners and 57 errors for Elcaraz That's an aggressive style That is a very aggressive player 11 winners and 20 errors on the first set for Elcaraz Which is the set that he lost, the 7-6 Then it was 19 winners and 17 in the second set Where he won And then the final set He went crazy 21 winners, 20 errors Super aggressive in that final set Elcaraz, which again He won that final set 35 four-hand winners 11 backhand winners So Nola is going to have to avoid that backhand Oh, sorry, that forehand Hit it to the backhand as much as possible Elcaraz did it 38 four-hand errors that day as well But that was not because he was hitting bad It's because he was playing aggressive The forehand of Elcaraz, that's the weapon of course Djokovic is going to have to avoid that The serving was okay for Elcaraz He won 74% of his first serve points Four races, four double faults As I said, the serve is not really a big factor for Elcaraz It's obviously going to be a factor But it's not a huge big difference for him 2 out of 10 break points converted that day Now Djokovic in that Madrid match 24 winners, 31 errors In the first set, 7 winners, 10 errors So it didn't play overly great Djokovic in that first set In the second set, 6 and 6 And in the third set, he hit 9 winners And 15 errors 17 forehand errors overall in that match So the forehand of Djokovic was not working that day Whereas Elcaraz's forehand was on fire You can see there he only won 66% of his first serve points as well Which is not good enough If he's going to beat Elcaraz today Eight aces, two double faults And he only converted one of the six break points And the odds that day Now this is something that might play a part Because when we talk about Zverev's match in a second that we played last year Djokovic was the favorite When they played this time last year Djokovic was the favorite today Djokovic is the underdog Let's see if that makes a difference Now let's go talk about this Zverev match Where he lost Elcaraz to Sasha Back at this stage last year So last year's match went for three hours 20 minutes Funny because the other match was three sets Went for three and a half hours This was four sets, it went for 320 That's how it works That's how Elcaraz plays But Zverev was aggressive That's the massive thing I noticed He was serving big And he was being very aggressive On the ground strokes We're early today It's one of the biggest matches of all time At least of memory Zverev was aggressive Big serves and he came to the net a lot So Nole, like I said, got a serve Well, but he's probably going to have to come in a little bit Which is not really what he wants to do Djokovic, he wants to stand back and grind And Elcaraz is making errors Elcaraz made a lot of errors Especially in the first set Where he just looked really, really off Drop shots were huge for Elcaraz as we expect Big looping ground strokes was Zverev though And remember, Zverev is tall than Djokovic So Zverev does have a higher point At which he can contact the ball Hitting the ball higher and loopy up Because he has got the high And also the reverse Elcaraz hitting higher loopy shots To someone like Zverev Is not going to be as effective Because Zverev is taller and he can just crunch it So that may be something that also was the difference Why that happened As opposed to Djokovic's match the two weeks before Zverev served, what was it? Zverev served For this fourth set and he got broken So he was actually serving for the match In the fourth set, got broken, went to the tie break Saved a set point Elcaraz almost took it to a fifth And then Zverev ended up winning the tie break 9-7 in that tie break But it almost went five sets that day 46 winners 56 errors for Elcaraz on that day He won 73% of his first serve points Only two aces, three double faults again Not a big deal Two out of six break points converted Zverev 39 winners, 34 errors But look at the serving 71% of first serves in 73% of those points won So he needs Djokovic Needs a serve like Zverev did back then Seven aces, six double faults Yep, okay double faults we know But the big thing I noticed The odds were different Elcaraz was the heavy favorite And I wonder if that might make a difference today Being the underdog Djokovic, you know That might be a little bit different All right, so that is what I noticed When I rewatched both those matches Today, which again, very, very interesting to see Especially last year Because Djokovic, when he does play someone for the first time It does sometimes take him time to figure it out Now he's got tape Now he's got tape to kind of watch and rewatch And Goron can break it down like we broke it down And figure out what's going on And what he does best and what he does worse and blah blah But the biggest takeaways I had The forehand of Elcaraz Massive problem for Djokovic If it keeps going to his forehand But also Djokovic's serve has to be huge Also maybe be a little more aggressive Don't stand so far back So you don't get drop shoted Drop shot, what's the word? Don't get drop shots hit on you All right, let's answer some questions We've got plenty more to go through We've got about 40 minutes to start That's my question! The question, jerk! How are we chat? We're good Djokovic be the head of the table, okay I just remember Sashis Vera Have 68 miles per hour serving at the U.S. Okay Come on, Nola, you can do this Yep So Djokovic, as I said, with the odds Djokovic is the underdog Which never happens I think maybe when he plays Rafa on clay That's the only time it ever happens So Elcaraz is expected to win And that expectation maybe against that In Zverev last year was a problem Now the weather in Paris also might make a factor Because I actually listened To something that Patrick Moritoglu was saying this week He was saying It's been weird this week Because we've had unusually hot weather in Paris During this time Which has made the courts faster What's a fast court? Madrid So the conditions might The altitude's not there But the heat Of Paris might actually mirror Madrid a little bit But also What's the difference between Madrid and Paris, shout What's the big difference between Madrid and Paris for Elcaraz? What's the big difference? What is the big difference? What is the big difference Between Paris and Spain for Elcaraz? The crowd The hometown crowd Now Probably asking What happened in the match where he played Zverev? Who were the crowd going for? Funny The crowd were going for Zverev To start with Because of course The underdog You know They want to have a match Whatever But in the third set The crowd were going for Elcaraz So Djokovic If he starts to lose Will get the crowd If he starts to win Elcaraz will get the crowd So And we know Djokovic does need We're not need the crowd But he does like the crowd Being on his side And I reckon he's going to probably get the crowd to start with I reckon he'll get the crowd to start with And then maybe if he starts If Djokovic starts winning Or Elcaraz starts winning The opposition will start It'll be one of those classic things First set goes to so and so The other guy gets the crowd Second set goes to the other guy Then the crowd split Then the next You know whoever's winning will not get the crowd So I'm interested Interested to see how the crowd plays a part as well I don't think it plays so much apart for Elcaraz But for Djokovic Having that crowd support will definitely help Crowd is for the underdog They want their money's worth Exactly And Djokovic is the underdog in this one To start us off Djokovic has the crowd against him though Does he though? I don't know if he's had the crowd against him I mean against Hashinov It was pretty split When Hashinov on the first set I think again they kind of favored the underdog I don't think Djokovic has had the crowd against him The only time the crowd boo Is when they question line calls So if Djokovic doesn't talk to the umpire Then there's no The crowd won't start going stupid right Can't remember the last time Nole was the underdog I'll tell you what I can find that out real quick Let me check When was the last time Djokovic was the underdog in a match I'm going to guess it was Rafa last year at the French That had to have been the last time Because he hasn't played anyone close Like hard courts Nole wins all the time It had to have been um Yeah Djokovic's Sorry Rafa last year Let me check Because this year he's been the favorite every match So last year he was Favorite favorite favorite Favorite favorite Yeah he was actually no He was the favorite against Rafa In the at the French open last year So he hasn't been an underdog Since maybe 21 where he played Rafa again Maybe that was the one The one where he played Rafa In the semis right Right So not uh yeah so when he When he beat Rafa at the French in 21 Was the last time he was the underdog In a match and it was similar Similar odds to this So it's a very similar odds to this Funny because it's in a semi-final as well And all that stuff Um I don't know about you guys But it kind of this has a feeling That it could go a few ways right It could go It could go the way of Federer Beating Djokovic here in Twenty twenty twenty eleven You know where Federer was like Nobody expected Federer to beat him And Federer did the did the thing You know finger wave right Or you know it feels a little bit more like Maybe two years ago when Djokovic was playing Nadal In this same place right The same day Semifinal day It has a little bit of a vibe like that Where you know the underdog got through And Djokovic was like not expected to win And it was Nadal Because obviously Rafferking of Clay And Djokovic got the win It has a little bit of a feeling like that Obviously Elcores is not a goat But it does have that vibe of like Elcores Elcores Elcores And again it does feel like last year's French Open When it was Vero Vero Elcores Where it was like Elcores Elcores Elcores Oh it was Vero Vero won the first set You know like that Like you know again it's like All the attention is on Elcores For this one Everyone's picking Elcores for this one So it does have a bit of a vibe like that Hey what's going on? 5K, 4 or 5 sets for Djokovic Yeah well we'll talk about that a little bit later Because we have about 30 minutes until the match can start And we'll get to the predictions at the end Can versus Nola who wins Definitely not me Well it depends What are we playing tennis What are we playing Something else What about Vero Vero Rude Match That's coming up after this Which again will be kind of like yesterday The first match was epic And the second match I reckon Something again I always feel like this Because I just don't like to Especially after what happened with Vero Elcores Where everything was like It was really boring I think the next match is going to be more It's going to be closer I don't know why It just kind of This could be 5 sets It could be the match we want But sometimes we don't get the matches we want When we want them The tennis gods don't give us the matches we want So I feel like maybe Vero Rude Could be the 5 set epic That we will hope this one to be And this could be 4 sets For somebody Or you know Or it is a 5 set Or it's like the 5th set is not as good Or what you know I don't know I don't know So it just Sometimes it works that way It does work that way I mean yesterday right Fionn take adage Maya They you know the rematch of last years Blah blah blah And then all of a sudden Mukaver and Sabalenka Turns out to be a match of the year I predicted Mukaver over Sabalenka Nice Well 3 sets cars I mean that would be insane That would be insane Valkyrie has won this in 3 sets I mean that is That is brutal Have a question Being new to tennis How does being favorite A factor into win or loss We're a factor in too much But some players prefer to be the underdog Right because when you're the underdog You got nothing to lose You know there's nothing If you lose no one's gonna like You know say you're choked Or say anything like that If you win You get all the praise So it's a much bigger reward For being the underdog and getting a win Less pressure because you're not expected to win So you can play a little bit more aggressive More freely More like you know So that's why like being the underdog Djokovic here Doesn't happen very often when he's an underdog So he and he doesn't mind being Counted out too I mean you know He wants something He's got something to prove today And he'll prove it Or at least he'll try How excited are you? I may faint I've been pretty excited I mean it comes and goes I'm kind of like I got a job to do So I can't be like a fan too much I gotta make sure I call it properly But um Yeah I'm excited I'm excited I'm more uh Waiting Hopefully I do a good job for you guys That's the main thing Was Mookova Uh it was great to see Mookova win Yeah it was It was Hopefully she can perform tomorrow as well Who do you think is more nervous? Probably Elkaraz He's got more to lose Elkaraz Because remember what happened last year And a lot of people forget Because we all have short memories in tennis Because it's so quick Everything happens so quickly Wind wouldn't start straight after We forget about the French open As soon as Elkaraz lost his vera The Elkaraz train Everybody left the train Everybody left the train Everyone jumped off and went Ah He was just having a good couple of months Everyone jumped off So he's got that to lose Because if it happens again Everyone's gonna go Oh I keep saying this guy's gonna win And he bloody loses Now he did win the US Open last year So I mean like you know you can't be That upset that he's like hasn't done anything He has done heaps of stuff But this time last year when he lost his vera So many people jumped off and went Ah he's just a good six months Ah he's just a flash in the pan blah blah blah And then he obviously won the US Open And everyone shot their mouths again But he does have more to lose Djokovic He's playing for the world number one ranking But Elkaraz has the world number one ranking If he loses Elkaraz The rankings at stake Obviously you know the expectations at stake With Djokovic Like I said underdog People aren't even thinking he's gonna win I mean he's not being picked He's not defending the world number one ranking He's trying to take it back So that's something you know Chasing the ranking As of defending the ranking Being you know what do they say What do they say Being you know getting to the top is easy Staying on top is the hard part That's what Elkaraz has to deal with as well You know so many added pressures Which makes you think Well maybe Sabalenka had that pressure yesterday With Mukava Having that like world number one right there And then it just got taken away Elkaraz isn't really number one Well he is I mean look at the rankings But yes if you want to be You know you want to go down Wimbledon 2022 route Who do you think will win the first set Well that's something we'll talk about as well As we get further along Now we've got about what We've got 30 minutes to go The 30 minute countdown is on Djokovic will be ahead of the table Okay you said that before Whatever that means How many years did Djokovic miss Grand Slam due to injury Not many Not too many Cam analysis just after Jim Courier Well I'm sure hopefully we're saying a lot of the same things Because Jim's great Okay now Let's have a chat about this match In a little more detail Because of course We've gone through last year's Madrid We've gone through last year's French Open for Elkaraz Didn't really feel the need to go through the Rafa versus Djokovic match Because last year that was just an epic And Djokovic losing the Rafa at the French Is not, you know, it happened before that So I didn't really go through those highlights Because I didn't really need to see what Djokovic I was more interested in how Elkaraz lost to Zverev To kind of see how Djokovic could beat Elkaraz like Zverev did But because we all know Rafa beating Djokovic Elkaraz can beat Djokovic he's done that So it was more about seeing how The other side could go But let's have a look at what actually What's happened this week And what to keep an eye out for this week Or at least for this match during the stats for this week So you can see there the odds And they've just shortened a little bit for Djokovic So they're in Djokovic Then Elkaraz's favourite, $1.47 Which I think is like plus $1.50 or plus $2.00 or something Okay, one set lost by both guys Of course Djokovic lost the set to Hashinov And Elkaraz fell asleep against Daniel and lost the set Five tie breaks to Djokovic He won all five of them And you can see there his opponent Lost one and played one and won that tie breaking numbers against City Pass Which shouldn't have been a tie break Because it should have been 6-2 Now let's talk about Elkaraz In the first round 26 winners 30 errors Four drop shots because the drop shot And the forehand for Elkaraz Are going to be the big points of how he wins this match Koboli, his opponent in the first round 13 winners 33 errors and 37 forced errors Because remember not just Elkaraz hitting winners on the forehand It's about him hitting hard shots that make his opponent hit errors Forced errors That's another big part of today That was a two hour match In the second round he played Daniel That's the one where he lost the set 47 winners 36 errors Four drop shots in that one as well 11 winners from Daniel 24 errors And 34 forced errors again Forced errors That's going to be a big thing Two and a half hours longest match he played So far He played Shapo in the third round It was 25 errors 24 sorry 25 winners 24 errors Four drop shots again In that one And Shapo hit the 17 winners 39 errors So you can tell that all their opponents So far have hit more errors than winners against Elkaraz as well Which again, Djokovic is going to keep that close 37 forced errors in just over two hours In the fourth round Mouseti He Elkaraz hit 42 winners and 23 errors Which might I know he said the SiddiPast match was the best match he feels like he's ever played The Mouseti match was better by the stats Seven drop shots in that as well In terms of in that drop shot winner category Mouseti hit 17 winners 23 errors Really just didn't show up in 34 Forced errors just over two hours And then the quarter finals against SiddiPast 36 winners for Elkaraz 20 errors and eight drop shots The most drop shots he's hit In a match this week SiddiPast actually played better than Mouseti Or at least he got more winners 21 winners, 30 errors And 36 forced errors from the Elkaraz side But you notice that all the opponents that Elkaraz has played Have hit more errors Now why would that be? You might ask Well that's because Elkaraz scares people He's a scary man He comes out and he's aggressive He hits you know 36 errors Sorry 36 winners 47 winners 26 all these winners And it forces his opponent to be aggressive So that's why those guys Start hitting all these errors all of a sudden Because they feel like they have to try and hit winners Before Elkaraz goes crazy But also that drop shot He's only hitting more and more drop shots Which is scary Now Djokovic Let's talk about his side of things So his thing today will be the serve His serve will be the big part of today There we go So first round against Kovacovic He lost he won that one in straights 41 winners, 22 errors Very clean 10 aces 82% of first serve points won for Djokovic That's what he needs to be at today Against Kovacovic hit 25 winners 34 errors In just over nearly two and a half hours Against Fucovic Djokovic hit 28 winners And 32 errors So a little worse Only two aces and he served 62% So he's serving wasn't great Djokovic Remember that first set Fucovic looked like he could have taken it Now Fakina arguably his toughest match so far He hit 27 winners 38 errors Only the one ace but six double faults So Djokovic just served in three and a half hours of three sets Fucovic hit 51 errors But we know Fucovic Sorry not Fucovic Fakina hit 51 errors But we know Fakina and Elkaraz do share some similarities But yeah the one ace So Djokovic didn't get any free points But then it all changed Against Vereas Or Vereas 35 winners 20 errors Seven aces 84% of first serve points won In just two hours Best match for Djokovic so far In terms of stats And then against Hashinov 11 aces 77% of first serve points won Very high That's where he needs to be 75 above If he's a chance today 57 winners 42 errors in three and a half hours Hashinov played pretty solid 38 winners 44 errors But today it's interesting Because I feel like Elkaraz is a combination of a couple of those guys He's a little bit of Hashinov with aggression But he's a little bit of Fakina in the defense So he's a little bit of a combo between those two guys So Djokovic is prepared for both Though played both those guys He's played both of them Now he can't play like he did against Fakina He can't hit six aces double folds He can't only hit one ace He needs to be at about 75% of first serve points won as well So he needs to be high up in that category And that's something we're going to keep an eye on The category of Djokovic is serving stats throughout this whole match Okay So funny, I missed that one So funny, what about something, something? We'll be interesting to see if Novak will do kick serves True I think the wins mile per hour is up Well, let's have a look at the weather Just on my screen So it's 29 degrees or 85 Fahrenheit So it's really, really nice and warm Humidity is at 35, not really a big deal The humidity, but the wind is strong The wind is strong So that's going to be interesting Because both players can take advantage of that And both players can suffer from that You know, Djokovic can get annoyed at that And Elkores can make errors from that So it's going to be interesting I think Djokovic, I mean especially because So it's a 20 kilometer an hour wins at the moment Which is going to stick around for at least the next couple of hours 12 mile per hour wins So the wind could be interesting Especially to see who can cope We also know that Elkores does have a bit of a slow start at times So let's see if Djokovic can get that early break It almost feels like Djokovic has to win the first set A little bit Because Elkores gets that first set We've seen what he can do And I know Noley doesn't mind losing first sets But I feel like today he can't afford to do that I feel like that's not going to be a good thing today Elkores in straight sets mark my words, all right Fair enough, we'll see We will see How are the conditions? Conditions are hot, warm, nice Paris weather Yeah, Noley first set means Elkores can steamroll the rest Okay, if this match goes five sets, Noley's in deep trouble I don't agree with that I'm a little, to be honest, we haven't And Chad, I know this is like something that doesn't get talked about enough Like Elkores is physically a very fit player But what happens if he plays four hours? What happens when we go to four hours? Because I mean, let's be real Djokovic plays long matches And if he plays like the Hashinov and Fakina match, right? It's going to be a long match Those matches went for three and a half hours for three to four sets What happens when Elkores gets to the four hour mark? I'm going to tell you right now Because that's my job So Elkores is one At the US Open and Wimbledon He has won four matches total Over four hours He lost the match last year in Australia And opening also won against City Passet four hours in 21 So he has won a lot of matches over four hours In fact, the Cine match last year, the banger Was five hours and 15 minutes The longest match Elkores ever played in his life Conditioned a little bit different, you know, not humid So that won't be his taxing, I guess But four hours against Tiafo Four hours against Uchiama back at Wimbledon two years ago And then Strouff last year, four hours So Cine... I mean, he beat... Probably City Pass in five back in 2021 in four hours But I think the Cine match last year Is a good indication to go, okay Well, yeah, he can play those matches But Cine and Djokovic aren't really the same Cine can play long rallies But also Cine doesn't mind going for a winner Whereas Djokovic is happy to play 50 shot rallies We'll see, we'll see But there is proof there that Elkores can't play long matches But he hasn't played a long match yet this year Not that long I wonder what his longest match of the year is That's a good question Longest match of the year And we did see him, I can't remember when it was Was it in... Was it in Miami when he started cramping? Maybe he started cramping, we're like, what's this? And that was in three hours So the longest match Elkores have played is three hours And he lost to Cine Funny, it's a Cine-Cine, right? Cine Elkores, best match, best rivalry going forward He played a four-hour, two-and-a-half-hour match Against Fnini, Fnini on clay in Rio won that one In fact, he played three matches over two-and-a-half hours In Rio, one, two, lost one But yeah, in Miami when he lost to Cine In three hours, again different, you know, it was humid You know, it was raining all week So the conditions were weird But interesting So if he does play over three hours, it's gonna be the longest match he's played And Djokovic is averaging three-and-a-half-hour matches So it's interesting, it'll be interesting if this match does go three hours Plus, if that affects Elkores physically at all I think this is a match of mental and tactics Yeah, we all know what Elkores can do to win Right, he can drop shot, he can be aggressive on the forehand He can get the crowd into a frenzy if he hits an incredible shot He also needs to stay switched on though Because remember what happened against Daniel's second set Turned off, totally lost the set, just fell apart Then came back and won, luckily switched it back on Against City Pass, five-two up in the third Switched off, had to play a tie break Kabali, first round, switched off, had to play a tie break So he can't switch off Elkores, he's got to concentrate For three to four to five hours today There's no switching off, unless he takes off a set When he's up two sets of love That can maybe happen, like we saw with Rude Runa How Runa kind of lit fire in the third, but it wasn't enough But he can't switch off, and if he goes down a set he definitely can't switch off He only switched off because he was ahead Well, that's the thing, when he's ahead he switches off He doesn't switch off in the first set, which is good But in Daniel's match, switched off in the second set He's got to keep going for two sets And if he gets the two sets, then maybe he can take a snooze Maybe Then again, you don't want to drop which winning a six love set Because then you're going to feel pretty scary I'm expecting a very aggressive no-lay All right, okay Anybody remember the 2019 Australian Open Final? Anybody remember that? Something very interesting happened that day And I think the comparisons with Rafa are the best comparisons with Elkores Because they do play a very similar style So that final Djokovic smoked Rafa, yes it was on clay But Djokovic smoked Rafa Rafa was playing a little more aggressive that week Elkores plays aggressive But Djokovic was hitting the ball so deep in the court That Rafa couldn't get them back So that's something Djokovic, maybe not be aggressive But keep the ball super deep Don't let Elkores stand on that baseline Push him back Give him a bit of medicine, you know, his own medicine Elkores demolition coming, all right New sheriff in town, all right No-lay crushed Rafa, yeah So something like that Something Djokovic has to play a little bit like that Because Elkores is going to play aggressive We know, we know exactly how Elkores plays And how he will approach this match Because we've been watching it all year Who's the better baseliner? Elkores has got a better forehand Djokovic has a better backhand Elkores is more aggressive Djokovic is better, more consistent Yeah, it's, I mean, look It'll probably come down to as well Who hits more forehands or backhands It's like, will Djokovic hit more backhands Than Elkores' forehand? Like that's that battle between the two as well You should match up the two players You should match the two players up Look who's better at what Well, that's what we've been doing That's what, like I just said Elkores' forehand Much better, is better than Djokovic's forehand The serve Djokovic, I mean, the serve is very similar But Djokovic needs the serve to work Elkores doesn't need the serve too much Because he can back it up with that forehand The backhand Djokovic's backhand is better The drop shot, obviously Elkores The net play, probably Elkores as well I mean, Djokovic can hit volleys But I would say probably Elkores The smash, Elkores, we know that I'll probably give the serve to Nole I would give the serve to Nole He's probably got a better serve And he needs to have a better serve What other, that's it I mean, that's, and that's, and probably Although Stamina, I mean, they've both got gas tanks Mentality, they're both ridiculously mental giants So again, it's very, very even I mean, it just depends on who gets to do what they want to do So Elkores is better at the net Djokovic might not go to the net as much It's a clay court as well So, you know, net play is not really As common on the clay, right? The Elkores wins, okay Elkores has advantage because of the clay I think this is definitely, yeah The serve as advantage goes to Elkores too, for sure I mean, Djokovic, if this was on a fast surface It would help him a lot more He'd get better points on serve I think it would help him on a faster court His shots would be a little bit more aggressive Naturally, because of the court But the clay helps Elkores But being during the day, would that help? Would that help Djokovic? And the wind, the wind might be a factor as well Because shanks and, you know, weird things happen in the wind We need a figure, we need a new figure of tennis Well, there's one knocking on the door right now And look, we're all gonna, this is gonna be, okay This is why this is such a huge match Not just because it's like, you know Elkores, Djokovic, future versus now Or future versus go, whatever, whatever All those things we know But it's massive because we look back In the history of the sport, right? And there's these moments There's these defining moments in sport And it's weird that it works Because it works on, it does the same thing In like basketball and other sports too The last time we had a match like this big Was back in 2001 Does anyone remember what happened? And at the time, we didn't know We had seen it Which is probably why this is getting more hype as well Because we don't want to miss those We don't want to miss those moments So we're like, oh, that's the moment Remember that moment we didn't remember We didn't get to watch in the time But this one's the next one Samper's Federer, exactly Now at the time, Federer was good He had a temper Samper's was still on top But we didn't know at the time That that was gonna be such a modern new mental shift Because then Federer went on and won Every win would have been after that except for two So Samper stopped, Federer started We didn't know that at the time This is a little different to that because Elka's got a slam But it does have that little bit of changing of the guard mojo But we're also seeing it coming So everyone, we're all getting prepared for it Whereas last time when that happened With Federer and Samper's We weren't ready Because we didn't think Federer was gonna Well, most people didn't think Federer was gonna be as good as he was Because he had a temper problem His backhand was weak He wasn't top of the world He wasn't even a slam finalist by then You know, he was so new That it was in hindsight that we looked back and went Oh, oh, okay That was when things changed Today we have the benefit of seeing something in real time Now, if Djokovic wins All that goes out the window And this whole changing of the guard has to wait And it probably won't be a changing of the guard Really unless Elka's beats Rafa on clay Or Elka's beats Djokovic at the Australian or whatever But we kind of have that like Oh, this is that Federer-Samper's 2001 Wimbledon moment Now if it was Rafa It would make more sense Because French Opens and Rafa, you know, French Open And Djokovic is not really the same thing as Rafa at the French But Goat, New Era, Overlap, all that stuff Who will be the grass king of Djokovic Wins in 2023 Djokovic, I mean, Djokovic will be Like, well, if he overtakes Federer's grass Wimbledon record, I mean, he's the man Hey, thank you, ATP for the gift for being a commenter I appreciate it Shame we didn't get to see Federer versus Elkres Ah, man Man, oh man, I know, I know, I know How many of you know that Elkres likes hard chords more than clay? Ah, well, I mean, that's He's got more titles on Or bigger titles on hard chords, right? No, they will lose today But might win Wimbledon, okay Are they warming up? No, they're coming on in 10 minutes So we're going to go through the preview again But, uh, let me, uh, oh Give me, first of all, give me your predictions chat Tell me who you think's going to win Who do you think's going to win And or how many sets So give me a name and the sets Name and sets, how many sets Well, 10 minutes till the big show Name and sets 3-1 Djokovic, 3-1 Nolay, 4-Nolay, 5-Elkres, 4-Elkres, 5-Elkres 5 Djokovic, 3-Elkres All right, 3-Nolay, okay Okay, interesting 5, coin flip, okay Well, I think most of you are probably expecting, uh, hoping for 5, right? Well, we got over 2,000 people here and we almost got 500 likes So thank you for that Appreciate Tennis will win ultimately I think the only way Tennis won't win Is if this is not close If Djokovic wins easy, that will be considered a bad match If Elkres wins easy, that changes the entire world of tennis And if there's anything else, then it's exactly what we thought 3 sets, no, okay So it looks like, to be honest, a lot of Nolay, uh, more Nolays than I expected Okay, let's get the preview again Because, uh, like I said, these guys did play that epic in Madrid last year And we're gonna get a rematch of that Novak Djokovic versus Carlos Elkres Is the first semi-final for the men's French Open for 2023 And both guys have had similar roads to get to this stage Djokovic entered the tournament as the number 3 seed And would take on Kovacovic in the first round But there's no problem for Nolay winning in straights 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 And the second round he'd take on Fuchovic And after a long first set, Djokovic would win in straights 7-6, 6-love, 6-3 And the third round he'd take on Fakina, the 29th seed And this was so far, Djokovic's toughest match Getting through our long straights sets win 7-6, 7-6, 6-2 And the fourth round he'd take on Various He would play 3-5 setters, including beating Hercatch The 13th seed along the way This was Djokovic's easiest win Getting through in straights 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 To advance to the quarter-finals In the quarter-finals, Djokovic would take on the number 11 seed Hashinov And after dropping the first set Djokovic would fight back to win in 4 4-6, 7-6, 6-2, 6-4 To advance to the semi-finals Alkara started the tournament as the number 1 seed And would take on Kaboli, the qualifier in the first round This was no problem for Alkara's getting through in straights sets 6-love, 6-2, 7-5 In the second round he'd take on Daniel And after dropping the second set Alkara's would fight back to win 6-1, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 In the third round he'd take on the 26th seed Shapovalov A player that he'd never played before And this was no problem for Alkara's Demolishing Shapo, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 In the fourth round he'd take on the 17th seed Moussedi Who he had lost to in Hamburg on the clay last year And Alkara's was on another level Dominating Moussedi, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 To advance to the quarterfinals In the quarterfinals Alkara's would take on the number 5 Sinti Pass A man that he'd beaten a couple of months ago in Barcelona And again, Sinti Pass had no answers With Alkara's winning in straights 6-2, 6-1, 7-6 To advance to his first semi-final of the French These two have only played the one time before That was in Madrid last year With Alkara's getting the close 3-set win And we've been waiting over 12 months now for the rematch Which is finally here And of course the French open is going to be a lot slower Than that Madrid surface 12 months ago Djokovic is going to win this one He needs to get off to a better start than he did against Hashinov Against Hashinov, he's trying to turn it up at the end of the second And the third set was amazing But he can't afford to give Alkara's that first set Because that's what happened with Sinti Pass And Sinti Pass got run over Alkara's going to win this one He needs to play really well at the start He also needs to finish off the match as well Because he does get a little bit silly in the third set We saw that with Sinti Pass We saw that throughout the tournament He kind of falls asleep At the end of the third You can't fall asleep against Djokovic Because he'll make you pay This is such a great match And we've been waiting for this over 12 months now The Goat versus the Prodigy And we get a rematch And I think Djokovic is going to get it I reckon he's going to be a 5-set banger Might be the match of the year And I reckon Djokovic is going to get this one In the 5 sets But let me know down in the comments below Who's going to make the final Okay So there it is There's the lineup Four setters all round Except for one Alcra's Smokin' Sinti Pass In that third In that two set First two sets And then the third set It was 6-2 up It should have been 6-2 It was 5-2 up Match point Then Sinti Pass came back But wasn't enough And of course Djokovic Losing the first setting is Hashinov And then taking the tie break And after the tie break It was all no way And of course later We do have another match This is not the final This is the semi-final Everyone thinks this is the final No, no, no, no This is the semi-final These guys The next match is rude versus varev Don't forget to watch that too All right No back, Djokovic Well, number three He is 36 years old From Serbia 6-2 right-handed 20 wins, four losses On the year Two titles to go with that No clay court titles coming in here though That is interesting Also, you can see there's 93 creatives Including two French opens And his form on clay hasn't been great But he's made up for it this week Carlos Elcaraz The world number one He's the number one for now If he wins today He's number one for Wimbledon So it's a big match for him In terms of ranking as well 20-year-old from Spain 6-foot tall right-handed 30 wins, three losses on the year Two of those are on clay One to Marijan One to Nori But this is a little bit different Four career titles including Barcelona And Madrid on the way to get to this tournament And you can see there He's got 10 titles including a US Open And his form has been exceptional Except for Rome But we put that down to a glitch And there's that one match they played I rewatched that match before This just to get excited for it And you can see there It was a three-step banger And Elcaraz won 7-6 in the third But Docomus did have chances It was Elcaraz And maybe the home crowd favorite Or the home crowd of Madrid Helping a little bit A lot of pressure points A lot of 30-olds A lot of deuce A lot of chances For both guys to take it out And Elcaraz was clutching the end And get the win This match starts in Well, they come out on court in three minutes And then it starts in about Probably about five minutes As they warm up But BME for I mean, this is the biggest match This is not just the biggest match of the year This is one of the biggest matches In the history of tennis I mean, I know that sounds so dramatic But it is It could have so much Going for it I'm going to tell you what it could have going for it Or what it could mean For the future of tennis First of all, if Elcaraz wins It means that we've got a new king in town Beating Djokovic or go to the slam That doesn't happen often And when you do it People notice Possibly winning your second slam By the age of 20 No one's done that since These Djokovic, Nadal, Federer likes So that changes a lot of people's perception of going Okay, the new generation is here Also, when Elcaraz win Would give hope To every other person who thought it was impossible To beat Djokovic to the slam Now they're going to beat Elcaraz at the slam to do it But like Sinar Runa Even like Sidney Passvera Those guys They might feel like Hey, this is our time now This guy's beating Djokovic That means it's our time also Sidney passing the press conference After getting his ass kicked He actually said he roots for the new guys So he said I'm not going to do predictions But I pick Elcaraz The new guys So that what could happen if Elcaraz wins If Djokovic wins We're back to normal Because that's exactly what people sh- That's what Djokovic has been doing for 20 years Right? It's back to business as usual Elcaraz is not quite there yet He's going to have to wait He's going to wait a little longer Get to the back of the line like the other guys You know, stand behind the others Now he has got his slam But of course we all know the US Open He didn't play Djokovic He didn't play Nadal And beating a goal at a slam Is different to winning a slam Because we've seen Dominic team win slams Without getting going through goats But Medvedev did beat a goat He did beat Djokovic to get to that US Open final Which we kind of feel like That US Open was more important Than maybe the team US Open But again You beat goats to win slams That's a little bit different So Djokovic, if he does win today It's back of the line for Carlos You know, wait your turn, kid You're not here yet Djokovic also can be number one in the world If he does win this tournament So there's a lot that could change things It's kind of business as usual If Djokovic wins I guess, because it's like we've seen this before You know, a young kid coming up Sinner last year at Wimbledon Sidney Pass at the French two years ago We've seen Djokovic in trouble at slams before Even Fritz in a five setter at Australia two years ago We saw that as well But then Djokovic clutches it out If Elcaraz wins Everything changes The future is now And everyone might believe That they can keep the goats down Especially because Nadal's not here Djokovic has the goat left You know, at the moment the active goat A lot of things A lot of things on the line A lot of things on the line Alright, I'm going to turn this timer off Because the match is starting At least they're coming out on court now Okay Are we ready, Chad? Are we ready for the biggest match Possibly Of the decade? Is this the match that we look back at In 10 years time and go That's where Elcaraz Showed everybody that he was going to win 10 Slams, 15 15 slams The changing of the guard Is this where we're at Or Is this just another day that Djokovic Proves everybody that he's not done yet And that he is the greatest player of all time Because he's going to win the most slams at everybody What are we going to get? One or two? I find out One in the chat if you think Elcaraz is going to win Two if you think Djokovic Players ready to go We're about to get warmed up Djokovic is the underdog In fact He's turned out to be a lot more of an underdog now He was at about 62% Elcaraz Now it's at 66 So it's getting more and more favorable For Carlitos But one in the chat if you think Elcaraz is going to win Two for Djokovic Also don't forget to like the video We're almost at 500 likes Okay Three and a half thousand people in the chat already God, you guys We had more people The tie breaks yesterday was about this So you guys are already getting ready This could be the biggest match of the year As well I mean in terms of the channel Am I an Estonian fan? Magpie fan Yes Which is why I'm wearing the jersey But why I'm wearing this Three Rubel win Okay Four Djokovic in four Okay Okay Carlitos One one one A lot of ones in the chat A lot of Djokovic fans I knew you'd show up You've been hiding in the shadows While Elcaraz has been doing his thing Everyone's talking him up Let's see Let's see Since Wimby to that Oh I missed that one You've got to keep your questions short today chat Because they're going to fly off the screen They're going to fly off the screen Who do I Who do you think Who do you like to win Well, I picked Djokovic in five And I want to be right But To be honest Now that we're here It doesn't really matter who wins to me Because no matter what happens We're going to find something out Massively We're going to find out If it's now for Elcaraz And if the new generation are here Or we're going to find out If Djokovic is still the king We're going to find out I mean this is a This is a battle for the throne Right This is a huge battle for the throne It's going to be a sad day for Serbia today All right That's what people are getting The trash talk is getting thrown around We're so lucky to see this Yeah, I mean look Some of you said Oh it would have been great to see Elcaraz Federa Yeah, we missed that All right Would have been great to see Djokovic-Sampras Would have been great to see Nadal-Sampras You know we did get Did we get Agassiz Djokovic? I can't remember But you know we don't get this very often You know I think we did get Sampras versus Connors maybe And Agassi Mack I mean we got a little bit of that I don't think we got We didn't get Lava versus You know those moments, right? Serena Sviantec We didn't get that You know that would have been epic We only like we were It was an overlap So these moments They might not happen often But when they do I mean this is a big moment This might be a landmark If Elcaraz becomes the guy We all expect him to become We got Agassiz Nadal But that was old man Agassiz With the back problems We didn't get like a Early 2000s Agassiz Which was a lot better We got the kind of the Get the anesthesia And shove it into the legs And into the back And you know prop him up And try and make him Get out back on court Our boy's gonna win Who's the boy? By the way we're almost at 139k As well, thank you for that Why is it over 66% now? Because people are betting on Elcaraz And the odds are getting more in his favour The more people bet In the betting The more it changes So But as you saw yesterday This only changes Depending on who is winning So it could be this But it'll change It could change Short question Love it Anesthesia in the back bra Yeah Well, I don't know What was it? He had back problems, right? Agassiz was back problems, right? I read his book a little bit He spoke too bad Stephen New era to usher in Carlitos in four That is the general I think that's the general Consensus Have a great call Thank you, appreciate it It's gonna be a big one It's gonna be a big one I vote for the king Now, like I said Now, like I said The only way this would be a bigger match If it was Elcaraz versus Nadal at the French That's the only way But hey Goats or goats And French open Wimbledon Whatever Nadal, Djokovic, Goat versus Kid Players are coming out any second now Nole in five Who's gonna stop Nole winning Wimbledon? Sinner or Medvedev or Runa Maybe Why the delay? Because everyone's Everyone's freaking out Everyone's freaking out Yeah, I think of it But if we do get Elcaraz Nadal at the French next year It's not gonna have the same vibe Because we've got this match Because we've got this This is gonna take away all the shine from I mean, okay The only way that Nadal Elcaraz will be a bigger match than this Or more hype than this Is if Elcaraz doesn't beat Djokovic here Because then Nadal he gets a second chance of beating a goat at the slam You know, like That's the only way Because I think of Elcaraz beats Djokovic here Yeah, Nadal at the French is a bigger victory Compared to Djokovic At the French But I just feel it won't feel as like Yeah, be hyped But also Nadal He might, they might play in the third round And that is definitely Yeah, it's must watch But it's not the same as this This is like Semifinals, slam Blah, blah You know, all the things that are coming with it Elcaraz is the new Rafa Okay You're hyping this up too much, am I? I feel like it needs to be hyped up I mean, it's inevitable If I talk this down It won't make everyone will still be nervous Greta Nelsa, that's why we're here Thank you, appreciate it I, again, chat I, like, well, you guys know me I love watching tennis matches Even when we're not live And I loved watching the Elcaraz versus Djokovic Last year's match I rewatched it Oh, man, I was just like It made me nervous It made me excited Like, I was freaking out I loved it And then I was watching, like, a 30-minute highlight package Of the French Open last year Between Zverev and Elcaraz To see, like, what could happen Like, I was, I'm loving I was loving the pre- Loving doing the research for this match Was so much fun Putting together, like, writing my notes Oh, I love it You know, doing all the- Doing my homework, I love it So much fun Which is your favorite out of the big three, Serena Uh, we could have had Elcaraz and Nadal last year We could have, but, of course, Zverev Got his win And then he got it, he got his win Zverev stopped it, yeah See, last year if it wasn't Nadal, Elcaraz, last year Like it was supposed to be That would have been, um, bigger than this match Or it might have been just as big And then Elcaraz might have- If he lost in it, Rafa would have been, like, redemption Kind of arc, but, yeah Thank you for relaying, appreciate it Cam loves homework, nerd I am, I'm a tennis nerd What do you want?

Where's the clutch? Noley steps up There's a lot of 30-all points in their Madrid match When I watched it earlier today A lot of 30-all points As he serves out wide in certain Volley's Djokovic Hey that's not bad That's not bad at all Unbelievable All right Little bit of medicine back to Carlos 40-30 That's a Goran shot if I've seen one There you go Show Goran after that shot He's probably laughing Lovely Volley I mean drop but perfect I mean that was Federer like 40-30 10 minutes into this one Jesus Serve Volley Had 30-all against Elkvij That's fun Where was it? It seems he didn't do that at all But he did but he got whooped 40-30 Djokovic serves Into the back end of Elkvij A bit of a kick to the back end of Djokovic Down the line now Noley 40-10 Elkvij Djokovic slipped But he gets it 40-4 hand Elkvij again Into the 40-10 Djokovic Cross-court is a good one As Djokovic gets the 40-10 In the open court It's a win Noley Okay He's going to 40-4 And with Elkvij's fire 2-1 Interesting tactics from Djokovic to start us here He put himself under pressure with some misses But man That angle Good angle Didn't think of that Okay How we doing chat First time to take a breath Just 2-1 First breather Paul Will this match be better than Nadal versus Djokovic Time will tell Time will tell We also have a thousand likes already Think of that Is this stream bigger than Nadal Mevedev Well Nadal Mevedev went 5 sets And forever So it has to be If it's going to be anything like that It's got This has to be a tiebreaker And a third or a fifth almost You know like This match is just getting started It can't be compared to anything At this stage this could be compared to Elkvij versus City Pass Like in terms of score Like we got to We got to Ask me in 4 hours Thank you Mark I'll appreciate it Already some great exchanges You're right Nadal's from a different planet True It's shaping up to be the best match of the year Yep 2-1 Couple of fun exchanges Little bit of trouble for Djokovic in the last point By the last game But he survived Let's see if Elkvijs can keep holding Djokovic is serving though And that was key Starting off strong As we had a serve now from Elkvijs Into the front of Djokovic Return Into the front of Elkvijs Down the line to the backhand slice of Nole Into the front of Elkvijs Drop shot First one of the day But it's wide Elkvijs missed it All faithful By the way Djokovic was going to get there So again When I watched the match earlier today Between these guys in Madrid When I watched the replay The drop shot Caught Djokovic Unawares A lot Because Nole stands so far back But that element of surprise is there now Because he's played him And even though Elkvijs was going to Like that was a decent drop shot Djokovic was going to get there So the element of surprise Love 15 Elkvijs serves out wide a fault Second serve And just carved it wide The drop shot will be a factor as well For Elkvijs obviously As we had a serve now Second serve Djokovic aggressive with the backhand Into the backhand of Elkvijs Backhand at Djokovic Into the backhand Of Elkvijs And again into the backhand of Nole As Nole hits it in the net 15 all By the way There's something else Some chat Who does Djokov... Who should Djokovic maybe take some advice from When it comes to playing Elkvijs Who do you think Would maybe be able to give him a bit of word of wisdom Even though Djokovic is much older Don't I mean replay highlights? No, I watched the whole replay I watched the replay highlights of the French Open last year Yannick Sinner Yes I reckon Goran would have broken down the Yannick Sinner matches Because Sinner and Djokovic do have similarities So I reckon And that's the thing Even though Elkvijs is better than he was a year ago He's also played a lot more tennis than he did a year ago There's a lot more footage Of how to play him Than a year ago 4-1 from Elkvijs is good Djokovic gets it with a slice As Elkvijs hit the volley winner Even though it was going out from Nole He made sure of it 30-15 So yeah Even though Elkvijs is a better He's a world number one now He's a Grand Slam champion He's beaten other guys There's also a lot more Match footage of Elkvijs on how to play him And also a lot more The coaches would have broken down the tendencies of Elkvijs And what he does under pressure And what he did against Sinner Because Sinner has been a bit of a pain in the arse for Elkvijs We all know that So that could be interesting if maybe There's some Djokovic uses some Sinner Whatever There's been a lovely drop shot there Djokovic gets it 4-1 now The volley from Elkvijs Goes into the backhand volley of Djokovic Elkvijs with a lob Nole lets it go And it's 30-all That drop shot worked in Madrid It didn't work today That's the second drop shot he's gone for And Nole got it 30-all And that was a great drop shot I don't think Djokovic is going to get there And then Nole with the volley And then he put it away Here we go 30-all 30-all 15 minutes in Elkvijs serves First time he's under pressure for the For today Let's see if he can come up clutch He serves Out wide The form of Djokovic's return goes in Elkvijs gets it Back into Nole Down the middle Elkvijs with the forehand cross-court It's wide Djokovic's return comes to the fore And we've got a break point 30-40 That was a decent serve And it came back fast The Djokovic's return Did we not mention that? Did we forget about that shot? 30-40 Nole to get the first break of the day Elkvijs serves That was a sin of return I mean it was a Djokovic's return Sinner copied it but Sinner did that successfully Last time he played against Elkvijs Serve Out wide Elkvijs to the backhand of Djokovic He shanks it back Elkvijs is way back With the forehand Into the form of Djokovic Elkvijs with the forehand again To the backhand of Nole Into the forehand of Elkvijs Djokovic again Keeping it deep To the backhand of Elkvijs Backhand of Djokovic Drop shot No way Elkvijs is going to get there With a slice Djokovic running Round the net Down the line is good Elkvijs gets it But Djokovic break Nole pops his fist And he's got a bit of a smile He's like yes I've got you today 3-1 Djokovic is playing so much better than he did last year And he's figuring out What Elkvijs has done The last 12 months Star for Elkvijs He's doing the Elkvijs to Elkvijs That drop shot That was supposed to be Elkvijs' move That's not Djokovic's move It almost went round the net too It was just over the net And then the volley Nole is coming to the net He's And Elkvijs is going The hell man that's my shot You can't take my shot All right Let's see if Elkvijs can get back It's 3-1 Longest rally in the match 14 shots Here we go But it does feel a little bit more like Djokovic To start here The last game being the exception With that 30-all point But it does feel like Djokovic is a little more comfortable A little quicker here Elkvijs got to get quick Coffee quick First serves a foul from Nole Second serve Second serve 17 minutes into this one We're learning as we go The sequel is already better than the original There's been a 4-1 now from Elkvijs The 4-1 to Djokovic That goes down the line Long from Nole Little too aggressive Love 15 Can Elkvijs get the break straight back Now watching the match They played him a dread There wasn't There was only three breaks to serve in the entire match One was in the second set Where Elkvijs broke to win the set And the other two were spread out amongst the set So And it was one break and then break back Because remember two tie breaks So we haven't Can't remember exactly if it was in the where it was But they did break each other in one of the In might have been the first set In the first set There's been a 4-1 now return going in from Elkvijs Djokovic to the forehand Into the back end of Elkvijs Love 15 Elkvijs back in the back end now As he goes along with his back end Elkvijs 15 all And there's only three breaks to serve that day It's the first time these two have played No, no, second time Last year in Madrid they played But this is the biggest match they played Madrid was cute That was a preview into what we can see now Or at least a preview It's a little bit of an entree to the main course Serb Densei Into the slice of Elkvijs Return comes in Djokovic comes in with a swinging volley Elkvijs with a passing shot Djokovic with another drop volley Elkvijs going to get this one As Djokovic hits the back end of the open court winner 30-15 And Elkvijs is shaking the head He's like man A little bit of a shank on the pass But Djokovic is drop shotting in He's coming to the net I mean Nole is playing Elkvijs against Elkvijs 30-15 Manole looks comfortable 30-15 Djokovic with a serve Bouncing the ball Nole is taking his time He serves out why the backing of Elkvijs Return goes in What a shot from Elkvijs Djokovic goes down the line though Elkvijs in the net Elkvijs hit a great back end return And Djokovic is like I'm not sissy pass Come on You can't do that against me I invented that return mate That was my return And Elkvijs got there on the forehand But he just couldn't flick it 40-15 Can cars recover? It's only the first set We're just getting started 40-15 But it is a little different than losing to Zverev Last year in the first set Because Zverev served his way to the first set This is more about Djokovic out rallying Elkvijs At the moment 20 minutes in Djokovic is waiting He's waiting for somebody in the stands To sit down and chill Everyone's getting excited Everyone's freaking out Again don't forget to subscribe If you haven't already Thanks for joining We're almost at 139k We've got a couple of people here 40-15 Djokovic's getting to 4-1 in the first Nole serves Into the net Second serve But look at Elkvijs' first serve chat What does that mean? What does Elkvijs' first serve stat mean chat? You told you the other What did I tell you yesterday? What does that stat mean? That first serve for Elkvijs Double fold Djokovic, all right Maybe getting a little Maybe getting a little too ahead of himself With that second serve A little bit aggressive 40-30 40-30 21 minutes in Djokovic to get to 4-1 in the first It's the first double fold And look at his second serve To send his Djokovic That is a problem I mean, we know that from last time they played Serving the front of Elkvijs Good serve for Elkvijs It's shanked No, it's in My bad Back in the back end It went in anyway Back in the net from Elkvijs That's a problem All right, Djokovic He takes the 4-1 lead But Elkvijs has got a lot of first serves in But he's not winning many points Part of that because Djokovic is the greatest returner ever But also Elkvijs might be buying a little safe on the serve He's hit a lot of errors too Elkvijs, couple on those back ends All right, 4-1, first set Djokovic starting off strong Goat Greatest of all time He's got goat Magdalena Fingers crossed for Carlos Thank you for the 35 Magdalena can we get some solutes in the chat And blunted Goat, goat, goat, goat Djokovic versus Zarev RG final All right, well, there's part that breaks a little bit It's only 4-1 in the first set But thank you, Magdalena, for the 25 Bloody hell, it's very generous Thank you Let's get to 10k Well, we might get there eventually Let's go spread the word chat Go tell everybody Hey, the match of the decade is on Or at least the match of the year is on What a start, though What a start But hey, Elkvijs fans I know you're probably thinking Oh man, this sucks Slow starts Elkvijs only gets better from now 20 minutes in Slow starts He didn't have a slow start against Steph But we know he does have a slow start Elkvijs, I expect him to start roaring back Might have to take down the first set I don't know if he can come back But he does He actually against Zarev I think he got broken in the first couple of games too And then couldn't recover In that first set against Zarev last year So we'll see Elkvijs serves 4-1 Jokovic to start us off Serving to the form of an Ola Return goes in Elkvijs forehand Into the back of the Jokovic down the line What a shot Elkvijs gets up with a slice But it's long God damn, is this going to be a school? Are we at school? Are we in class right now? Is class in session? Love 15 He's going down the line with his backhand To Jokovic He's not afraid of the forehand Which is interesting To showing him who's boss, I think Love 15 Serve Elkvijs It's an ace Bang! First ace of the day For anybody All right, nice serve from Carlos He's serving in the sun as well Which makes it even more impressive That he served the ace blind 15-all Elkvijs serves again 15-all Elkvijs serves Fault, second serve What is Ola going to do on the second serve? Always serve What is Ola going to do on the second serve? Always steps in All right Second serve to the backhand of Jokovic Oh, what a return Jokovic smokes the backhand return inside out And it's 15-30 This is This feels different right now This feels different And I think Elkvijs feels different Because he's not smiling Elkvijs has been all have Even when he's been close He's been happy and having fun I don't think Elkvijs having fun right now 15-30 Serve Into the backhand of Jokovic Lob Into the volley of Elkvijs Jokovic slipped Oh, that's unlucky Elkvijs gets it Nole slipped over 30-all Elkvijs hit it like a draw Like it was like a drop volley Like a high Oh, man, that's unlucky Nole slipping and sliding Probably would have got there And hit a winner Had Jokovic not slipped That was that was unlucky 30-all Lucky for Elkvijs Don't need it Take the luck It's a really weird high volley 30-all Serve to the back of the Jokovic Return to the front of Elkvijs Is a winner And you'll wonder if Nole Especially on that last point A little bit cautious about moving around Because of the slip Because he didn't really even try to go for that forehand Nice from Elkvijs Nice from Elkvijs though Very nice forehand Maybe that little bit of luck might have helped 40-30 Elkvijs to get on the board again And stay close He serves Out wide The back of Jokovic Lob goes to the sky And it's a let First serve again First serve again 40-30 Elkvijs serves Into the front of Jokovic Returns his great Elkvijs gets there But Jokvijs comes in with a swinging volley Elkvijs pass Is a winner This is gonna be our finish to you Carlos has arrived He got a little lucky But he takes the game 4-2 of Jokovijs in the first But that was the Elkvijs That was the Elkvijs game To start this match A couple of forehand winners All right Nole should have probably done better With that swinging volley But you give Elkvijs half a chance You're gonna hit a winner Probably should have gone on the backhand Where Elkvijs has been a little bit More error prone But hey It's easier to say that now All right From the comfort in my house All right 4-2 Jokovijs with the lead 4-2 Nole just waiting, waiting, waiting Now Nole doesn't look tired Like he has been In previous matches He doesn't look as uh At the moment Doesn't look as as tired Remember the even like in the first three Four games against guys Like for Kena It's like he looked kind of tired He doesn't look Doesn't look like that's bothering him yet That might play a factor We'll find out 4-2 Second serve Jokovij Second serve out Why the front of Elkvijs The turn goes in The front of Jokovijs Down the line from Nole Elkvijs backhand Cross court Jokovijs gets it Backhand to backhand As Elkvijs Again to the backhand Jokovijs down the line Elkvijs with the forehand on the stretch Jokovijs in control Backhand cross court Elkvijs with the pass Jokovijs volleys Elkvijs going to put it away Forehand Winner Love 15 Now Elkvijs is throwing the fist Mike Tyson's arrived Muhammad Ali got the first couple of games And Mike Tyson's here now Love 15 Now Elkvijs has found that forehand Watch out Love 15 Jokovijs serves again Now Nole's second serve percentage is a problem Love 15 Jokovijs bouncing the ball He's taking his time Serve Now wide Serve volley from Jokovij And the volley is good Elkvijs gets it But it's in the net Serving volley from Nole What the hell is going on 15-0 That is not I mean I mean look Element of surprise And it surprised me And also Elkvijs and everybody else It probably Goran is the only one who's not shocked By the way Chad Look at the match predictor How fast things change 15-0 Another serve coming up here for Nole 15-0 Serve There's a fault Second serve Did Tyson fight Ali? No, but that's why we're comparing it Because this feels like that They didn't fight But if they did And they played tennis instead It would be this 15-0 Second serve into the forehand of Elkvijs Four now from Jokovijs In the backhand of Elkvijs Into the backhand of Nole Drop shove Nole Is in the net 15-30 Jokovijs just getting a little bit I don't know Ever since the slip over Ever since when he fell over Ever since he slipped Things haven't quite gone his way It's his seventh unforced error as well Jokovijs 15-30 Chance for Elkvijs to get this break back Jokovijs serves 30 minutes in Another four hours to go Serve out wide at the backhand of Elkvijs The turn goes into the forehand of Jokovijs Elkvijs with the backhand again Goes cross court Nole on the stretch Down the line is into the forehand of Elkvijs Four now from Jokovijs Into the backhand of Elkvijs In the net from Elkvijs Bad error 30-0 Elkvijs had him on the stretch too and he's on a Damn I shouldn't have made that error And he's having a big chat to Juan Carlos He's going I'm not doing things right He had Jokovijs way out Just couldn't get the forehand In the backhand he dumped 30-0 Again When they played in Madrid last year These points were the big ones They were the difference in that match A lot of 30-0 points A lot of deuce points The winner of this stat might be the biggest one Who cares about the rest? It might just be this one Pressure points 30-0 Serve down T Great serve Return goes in from Carlos Four now from Jokovijs The forehand of Elkvijs The forehand of Jokovijs Elkvijs with the forehand shanked Goes long 40-30 Jokovijs down the T Perfect serve And he's attacking Elkvijs' forehand He ain't afraid 40-30 Jokovijs to get to 5-2 in the first 40-30 In the first serve of Jokovijs That has been the key So far Elkvijs' backhand has been a problem 40-30 Serve down T The forehand of Elkvijs Return goes into the forehand of Jokovijs Elkvijs with the forehand Cross-court Jokovijs there with the forehand Cross-court as well Elkvijs with the slice forehand now Jokovijs comes in Forehand inside out in the net Bad error from Norway Bad bounce By the ball Deuce But he has Elkvijs slipping and sliding all over the place He just couldn't quite I mean that last bad That last forehand was as bad as the Elkvijs backhand The point before Deuce We get to Deuce As Jokovijs lines up again Huge game This might be the game that decides this set Serve from Jokovijs Down the tee Is a fault And he says I want to have a look at that That was close Elkvijs looking Umpire looks Umpire says it's out Second serve Second serve Here's Elkvijs' chance And that ball Hawkeye says Just missed as well Second serve Second serve Jokovijs He serves A double fold And throws his arms in the air And he looks at the sun And he goes bloody stupid All right Advantage Elkvijs to get the break back Second double fold of the day The ball toss all over the place He's not happy with that Jokovijs Elkvijs advantage to take back the break In this matter Here we go chat Here we go It is a little breezy out there as well So maybe that would have something to do with it Advantage Elkvijs Jokovijs serves A fold again And that Is not a good idea Second serve Second serve Jokovijs Elkvijs has the break point Serve Is down the tee That's a weird serve Elkvijs gets it back Four and half from Jokovijs is shanked It goes in to the back end of Elkvijs Into the front of Jokovijs Elkvijs now with the front of the stretch Goes to the back end of Nolay Elkvijs back end As Nolay looking a little shaky As he hits the front down the line Elkvijs gets it Into the front of Jokovijs Weird rally so far Back end of back end Both hitting it high Has been a drop shot from Elkvijs In the net Now There's something to these drop shots Same the same thing as serve Volley's If you in the start of a match hit drop shots And they don't work You lose your confidence like that If Elkvijs hits three drop shot winners in the first set He's going to feel like he could do it forever But he hasn't hit a drop shot winner yet He's hit three or four drop shot errors So that might hurt him down the track Because he might lose confidence in the shot Also with serve and volley same thing If you serve and volley and get passed Mentally you're going to feel like I can't do this today So that's something that might play a part Keep an eye on how many drop shots he misses He's not going to stop because it's Elkvijs He's crazy but still He hasn't made he hasn't won a drop shot point yet Deuce As Djokovic says another fault man And that's second serve points one I mean we got we got a boost in the last one But man Djokovic's looking to the sky for answers Deuce second serve Second serve Serving to the back end of Elkvijs That hit the tape goes over Djokovic gets with the back end cross court Elkvijs with a slice No way Volley's Elkvijs runs runs no way gets This is going to be our biggest TV role Elkvijs hits a winner on the forehand And Djokovic just got to hit the Volley's away Advantage Elkvijs The back end was good He had Elkvijs in trouble But then the Volley was too soft You're playing a guy who can get those Advantage Elkvijs the first running forehand winner And there's another break point Here we go Advantage Elkvijs to level things up Or at least get back on serve Djokovic serves Out wide Elkvijs' back end goes in the net Wow Djokovic kicking it out wide A bit of a slow ball A bit of a slow ball out wide And Elkvijs dumps it in the net We get to Deuce Nine-minute game You don't think this is the biggest game in the match so far You're wrong Here we go Deuce 37 minutes played Djokovic serves Down the tee Man another fault Second serve Second serve Two break points saved from Djokovic here He can't find the serve Second serve Out wide Elkvijs gets on the forehand side Djokovic backhand Cross court Elkvijs on the stretch with the backhand Into the backhand of Djokovic Back into Elkvijs Again to the forehand of Djokovic Into the backhand of Elkvijs Djokovic picking on the backhand Now Elkvijs with the forehand of the stretch Goes long Djokovic down the line Backhands are working too Elkvijs getting pissed off He's yelling at Juan Carlos Advantage Nole Elkvijs is going down the line with that backhand And it's not Not helping Elkvijs Just a backhand I mean look Doing the splits Backhand down the line Djokovic vintage We know that We've seen that shot There's photos across the internet of that shot Advantage Nole to get 5-2 Keep that break Longest game of the match so far Most important game of the match so far Djokovic serves Down the tee That goes in Elkvijs shanks it back Nole forehand Again to the front of Elkvijs Into the front of Djokovic Again to the front of Elkvijs Djokovic backhand on the stretch Elkvijs comes to the net But Nole hits it out Back to Deuce First Real aggressive approach from Elkvijs Back to Deuce Djokovic was in control Until that Elkvijs cross court forehand He'll Djokovic let Elkvijs off the hook there But give it him an easy forehand Nole on the stretch Elkvijs comes in and goes Thank you I'll put that away if I need to But you're going to hit it out Back to Deuce Another serve coming up Djokovic serves Down the tee Back into Elkvijs That goes in Djokovic forehand cross court Elkvijs gets it With his own forehand Djokovic down the line goes long And Djokovic look at the court He's looking at the court going What's wrong with the ground Something's up It's maybe a little dry It's been hot in Paris this week A little slippery Patrick Moritoglu said that During the week when he was Well helping out all the players that he helps It's the court It's unusually warm in Paris this time around Usually it rains And the courts are a little bit dry And Nole's movement may be compromised Advantage Elkvijs to get back this break Third break point of the game And Nole bouncing the ball Elkvijs ready to go Djokovic serves down the tee Elkvijs with the return forehand Into the forehand Djokovic Elkvijs on the stretch Gets it Around the frame though Forehand from Djokovic again As Elkvij slips But it gets up Forehand Djokovic Oh no Elkvijs never the pass Djokovic rolls it away Too good This is going to be our biggest team Elkvijs just never had a chance In that point Djokovic had him slipping and sliding Back to Deuce And Elkvijs just I mean look Djokovic slipping and sliding Elkvijs having to deal with the same He had a half shot there Elkvijs with the forehand But he just didn't catch it And I wonder if Djokovic is just planting the seed In Elkvijs' head Of I'm going to attack your forehand And then maybe later in the match I'm them going to go to the backhand And you're not going to be ready Because he's gone to the forehand way too much But it might be a tactic As we return down from Elkvijs Forehand Djokovic to the backhand Of Elkvijs Elkvijs hits it out Because his backhand Elkvijs is weaker Definitely weaker Especially today But you'll wonder why Djokovic keeps going to the forehand Or you know the 5D chess Maybe he's going I'm going to hit it to your forehand Because you think I'm going to give you backhands Because your backhand is weaker But Elkvijs is thinking I know where you're going to go Because you're going to try and pick on my backhand Try and trick me Into thinking I'm going to the backhand But you go to the forehand I'm ready That make sense Bit of 5D chess Wind kicks up the clay Djokovic has to wait Advantage Nolle But again it might be interesting to see Like later in the match If Djokovic starts attacking Elkvijs On the backhand more Because he's gone to the forehand a lot Maybe just lull him into a bit of a You know oh okay we're going forehands are we And then it's like not now Advantage Djokovic to get the 5-2 He serves out wide to the backhand of Elkvijs And Elkvijs hits it in the net This is going to be all finished That was a massive game Even with the clay flying everywhere It's like a 15 minute service game Djokovic holds Or maybe when he's under pressure He'll go to the Elkvijs backhand Because he knows that He doesn't want to give Elkvijs too many backhands To get used to it too Anyways We're watching this ridiculously high level Mind games everything Physical battle everything 5-2 Djokovic Ace up Match plus too much coffee On the edge of my seat Get ready He's signing Plunted I'm from Melbourne We don't follow rugby league Thank you for the donations Appreciate it Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already All right Djokovic holding on to that break Three break points saved in the last game He broke early in the match But Elkvijs' backhand Simply Grace Amy Lundy predicted Noel Would go for the Elkara's forehand Since his backhand is more consistent His backhand is probably more consistent But his forehand is I think way scarier Like Elkvijs doesn't hit backhand Winners as much as that forehand When he unleashes But like I said Also that might be a case But also going to the forehand When Elkara's is not expecting it to be Because he's probably thinking You're going to pick on my backhand Again Elkvijs is like the shots of this Tiny differences between It's not like Elkvijs' backhand Is like Baratini's backhand Right? It's not a huge weakness But it's still like not the forehand Giovanni He spoke too bad And Federa Jokovic cannot win All right Classic Federa Thank you for the two Thank you Giovanni Giovanni mate Thank you again for being so generous this week Mate a lot of things My brain runs a million miles an hour mate So you're going to have to remind me 5-2 But I'll read your chat You don't have to don't donate I can just read the chat Elkvijs hits it in the net Love 15 Love 15 Mike Tyson in the house Speaking of which What do we say? We said Elkvijs is the Mike Tyson Is the Muhammad Ali of Nole Return now from Nole Goes in the front of Elkvijs Elkvijs goes to the back of Nole Into the back of Elkvijs Into the backhand of Nole Elkvijs is the forehand inside out winner Back behind Nole Going the wrong way 15-0 Iron Mike's in the house And he's watching the tennis version of himself Back in the 90s I mean Elkvijs is Mike Tyson All right 15-0 It's crazy We made all these analogies and then The man himself appears As that goes out in the return of Elkvijs 30-15 30-15 And thanks for joining us We're at 139k Geez Thank you for that Appreciate it We're almost at 140k chat That's crazy All right 30-15 Number serve coming up here for Elkvijs Out wide The backhand of Elkvijs Returns up into the sky To the forehand of Elkvijs And Elkvijs is forehand in the net That's a problem 30-all That's a big problem If that starts happening By the way pressure points Djokovic is winning These are the points I've said it again These are the points in Madrid The most Whoever wins these points today Will win this match 30-all Serve out wide It's too good Djokovic hits it wide on the return That's clutch That's clutch Mike Tyson's daughter I think is a big tennis player as well Well she's like big into tennis Possible future player Or like future Maybe not superstar Because we don't know exactly what she's like But definitely a tennis fanatic There's been a forehand from Elkvijs Drop shot and off very good Djokovic gets it Volley from Elkvijs Djokovic lob Elkvijs with the backhand in the net Backhand Volley in the net Elkvijs try to do the Federer The little sneaky drop shot But I'm going to hit a slice Instead Djokovic is like mate I played Federer I know how you do those shots I played the man himself who invented that shot You're just copying the shot man I've seen that And he does it better So that's what Djokovic has played Elkvijs before In different versions He's played the better version of Elkvijs in Nadal He's played the better version of Elkvijs in Federer He knows what to do Back to Deuce Serve out wide is another great serve from Elkvijs And serve out wide is Clutch at the moment Advantage Elkvijs But again, like I said chat Remember how I said He missed a few drop shots in the first couple of games He tried to do a drop shot fake That kind of makes you think Elkvijs is not confident with the drop shot He's doing this fake drop shot now And that didn't work So you wonder if he goes to that anymore Advantage to the backhand now of Djokovic Four now from Elkvijs Djokovic is the forehand Inside out Elkvijs there with the backhand Into the forehand of Djokovic Into the forehand of Elkvijs Into the forehand of Elkvijs Djokovic is the forehand again Into the forehand of Elkvijs Into the forehand of Nolay Elkvijs is the back Pardon me, the backhand in the net And we get back to Deuce Because the drop is it No drop shot winners today No drop shot winners He hit a drop shot wide A drop shot in the net A drop shot that Djokovic got And then that fake out That didn't work Back to Deuce Another error from Elkvijs as well Deuce Serve is a fault Second serve Second serve Djokovic stands back Out wide now of the forehand of Djokovic Four now from Elkvijs on the stretch Is good Nolay's there though Back in Elkvijs with a slice Djokovic in control As he hits the forehand Again to the backhand of Elkvijs Into the forehand of Djokovic Elkvijs with the forehand of the stretch In the net Djokovic has got a set point And this is not I don't think this is how any of us thought this would start Advantage Djokovic To take the first set We might have thought Djokovic wins the first But Nolay this Not this easy At least on the scoreboard It hasn't been easy But not on the scoreboard Advantage Djokovic To take the first set 6-2 in 45 or 48 minutes Elkvijs serves Out wide Djokovic returns Into the swinging volume of Elkvijs And that's a winner That's the first time he's done that And he blows He goes That's right Back to Deuce Elkvijs with a little bit of uh That's right That's my I can do that I can do that The first time he's done the kick serve Out wide to do the swinging volley too So we'll see if he comes back with that Good save All right Advantage Oh, sorry Deuce I'm going to step into the tee Elkvijs with an ace Nice from Elkvijs Clutch again Advantage Elkvijs to take the first Or to, sorry, hold And make Djokovic serve for the first Okay Second ace of the day from Elkvijs Advantage Elkvijs He serves again Out wide to back into Djokovijs Back into Elkvijs Goes to the back into Djokovijs Hit the tape goes in Elkvijs back in again Djokovijs to the forehand Into the back of Elkvijs Again to the backhand of Djokovijs Elkvijs backhand Again to the backhand of Nolay To the backhand of Elkvijs Down the line is good Too good Elkvijs is a winner This is going to be our biggest TV role That's why he's going to be careful Djokvijs not to go to the backhand too much Because if Elkvijs starts getting confident On that backhand as well That's going to get scary 5-3 Elkvijs survives Now it's Nolay Who just played a 15 minute service game In the last game First serves needed If Djokovijs is going to win the first But Elkvijs hangs on All right Nolay steps up The first serves needed And he's serving in the sun Djokovijs to watch out This could be interesting Who am I supporting? I'm supporting a 5-setter I want this match to go as long as possible I want it to be an all-time match And I want it to be everything that we ever hoped for All right Djokovijs served for the first set And then, sorry 5-3 as he serves a fault Man, Nolay's fault serves Have definitely dropped off the last few games Second serve Djokovijs taking the time Elkvijs stepping in Second serve Into the backhand of Elkvijs Return is good Djokovijs gets there But it's in the net That second serve percentage is a problem And Elkvijs takes the first point Love 15 Huge backhand return Love 15 And Djokovijs just going like this Because he can't see the ball Serving in the sun All right Nolay serves again This might be the hardest game Love 15 Served in the tee That's a good serve Elkvijs in the net with a return 15-all Now the difference between Elkvijs against Verav last year And Djokovijs today Is that Verav last year had the big serve He, and that's how he, that's pretty much how he won the match By doing big serves at these moments When he was under pressure Djokovijs' serve is not the same as Verav And it's Verav, yeah, you know, all the jokes, blah, blah, blah But like Verav when he is on serve Is a very hard serve to hit back Djokovijs doesn't have the powerful serve like Elkvijs Verav, but he does have a good serve And that's a good serve there Elkvijs can't get on the swinging volley And it's 30-15 That's why the serving had to be so high For Djokovijs, because that's the only way Is Verav beat Elkvijs last year with that big serve Siddi-Pas didn't do that the other day When they played Djokovijs doesn't have as Verav power But he does have decent serve enough If you can get him in 30-15 30-15 Djokovijs serves A fault Another second serve Another second serve for Nole 30-15 53 minutes play We're almost the hour This is the Djokovijs match A bit of second serve Double fold All right Here it is It's almost like at this point Nole needs that first serve Or Elkvijs wins a point Goran's wearing glasses Looks very stylish Shakes his head He's like, I wouldn't have done that All right, that was Goran You're left handed with a big serve We get it And again, Nole's staring at the sun The sun's a problem Down the far end Djokovijs is Not happy about it 30- all This is where goats show us why they're goats Serve Our wide is a fault Okay Now it's super pressure Elkvijs steps in He's like, all right, let's go Let's go We've got Mike Tyson in the house He's intimidating like Mike Tyson Second serve Djokovijs thinking Where are you going to return? What am I going to serve? He serves Into the back end of Elkvijs Return goes into the front of Djokovij Elkvijs with a forehand Cross court Djokovijs with a slice Into the back end of Elkvijs Drop shot Djokovijs runs Runs Gets it With a forehand Elkvijs lob Is too good This is going to be our biggest TV role The first successful Drop shot point And Djokovijs got there And Djokovijs is covering his eyes It's definitely the sun He's covering his eyes But that drop shot Djokovijs got there With time to spare But Elkvijs knew what the next shot was And it went up And Djokovijs lob Can't hit that 30-40 To get back on serve He's saved us that point As well Elkvijs Remember that in the last game 30-40 Djokovijs serves Needs a first serve He serves Out wide That's a good serve Elkvijs puts it up and out That's the first serve That's clutch Deuce Again I always, I'm trying to mention this every time When they played in Madrid The deuce points mattered the most The 30-old deuce points were the biggest, biggest factor Whoever won those points Won the match And that was Elkvijs Pressure points Will decide it Djokovijs serves Another chance for Elkvijs He had a break back If he can get back the return Djokovijs needs to serve Well, he serves Out wide That goes in And Elkvijs shanks it First serve goes in Elkvijs shanks it On the return And it's advantage Djokovijs to take us For this first set 30-old is a clutch point as well Yep They sure are By the way, 10,000 people in the house What's up Let me know in the chat Where you're watching from As Djokovijs gets a second set point To take this first set Almost one hour played But Elkvijs' longest match of the year Was three hours in Miami So it's been He hasn't played a long match like this Elkvijs Keeps going It'll be the longest match of his year As we're in the back end return That goes wide Djokovijs to make first serves And he takes the first set in LA And he looks very, very calm He looks very, very relaxed He's like I'm not going to celebrate I was going to win the I know I was going to win the set Okay Djokovijs wins the first in the epic 6-3 Big serves Serve out wide Serve out wide Serve out wide Bang bang bang Down break point Wins the game All right Man, what a first set chat One hour We hopefully get four more of those Bryce Cam equals goat Thank you, Bryce, for the nice words In the two bucks Appreciate it Okay And also, thank you, Emile So, sorry Emile Thank you so much for becoming a member as well Appreciate that Although Djokovijs level has gone down He's still there, okay I'm trying to read the chat It's so busy chat I apologize, chat Let me know where you're watching from Approved from all around the world Due to the epicness of this matchup 14 winners Sorry, 16 winners Elkres Including two aces 18 unforced errors A lot of those were on the back-hand side It felt like Eight winners, 12 errors From Djokovijs Including three double faults The second server, Djokovijs That's a problem But he is in that 70% range of first serves Which he's needed to be If he was going to make this match Interesting for him to win Rod Leyvo-Rena Nice What are you doing there? Is there a concert on or something? Does Carlos look nervous? Not really I mean, no, he hasn't had a laugh or a smile yet But it's the first set he's lost I mean, the first set he's lost this week Second serve is horrible for Nole Yeah, I mean that's because of double faults But also because Elkres has returned New York We've got Texas We've got Maryland Uruguay Mexico India Trinidad are watching Germany Kentucky Minnesota I'm at work Good, I'm glad we can bring this to you While you're at work Australia in the chat We've got Lebanon in here We've got a lot of places Pakistan Portugal Sweden Ireland Serbia We've got Philippines Guyana There's water in the court So we can get ready again Round two of this five Round five Vietnam We've got more people from India in the chat Colorado Connecticut Wisconsin Singapore Denmark I'm going to stand up comedy show Wow, hopefully it's funny We've got Nigeria in the chat St. Lucia Cyprus South Africa Ecuador Tampa The Bronx Delaware We've got Eltona Chicago Cyprus again Israel Scotland mate We've got people from Australia in the chat as well We love that Here we go First about why the 400 Djokovic return Goes into the front of Elkres Djokovic for the back end Into the front of Elkres Again to the back end of Djokovic Into the back end of Elkres Back end of Djokovic Into the back end of Elkres Down the line of the 400 Djokovic on the stretch Elkres With a four hand again to the 400 Djokovic Who hits it long and it's 15 love Elkres Now Elkres serving first In this second set And we did elect to receive in the first set And maybe that was a bad idea Because Djokovic Was able to get the serves and then attack The Elkres return Elkres needs to get up to a better start here He's serving in the sum though And we just saw Djokovic struggle with that 15 love First serve is a fault Second serve Second serve Second serve into the back end of Djokovic Back end of Elkres To the back end of Nole Elkres with a four hand Into the four end of Djokovic Into the four end of Elkres But Djokovic hits it out Two weird errors from Nole And it's 30 love Also chat we hit 10,000 people at one point here So thank you for that That's ridiculous Biggest match of the year Biggest match of the I mean look Biggest match of the tournament no doubt But biggest match of the year I mean we've got 10,000 people in the chat Ridiculous And there's a bit of return now The four end of Elkres drop shot is good Djokovic gets there But it's in the net 40 love Better from Elkres here 40 love The drop shot didn't work in the first set I don't think he went in He hit a drop shot in the lob But he didn't hit a drop shot winner in the first set That was the closest he's had all day Hitting a drop shot winner Elkres All right serve again Down the tee the four of Djokovic Return to the four of Elkres Four of Djokovic Into the four of Elkres Into the backhand of Djokovic Nole in the net Easiest game Elkres has had all day Possibly the easiest game of the match for anyone on serve Here we go One love Elkres Remember Djokovic in the last two service games have struggled So let's see If Elkres can take advantage of that Let's see Okay Elkres Good start And we've got the trumpeters in the house They're playing all the theme songs We love it So much fun One love as Djokovic serves In the sun I don't know why he's not put on a cap Seems crazy That he wouldn't chuck a hat on All right We've got Zvere versus Root after this but Way after this Djokovic serves a fault Second serve Second serve Second serve Nole He's just taking the time Second serve goes to Fawn of Elkres Back in at Djokovic The Fawn of Elkres The forehand of Nole Fawn of Elkres on the stretch Slice goes In Djokovic forehand Again to the Fawn of Elkres Into the Fawn of Djokovic down the line Elkres gets up to the backhand Cross-corporate it's wide 15 love 15 love Just what will affect the clay It does Because it makes it less slippery Or at least it makes it compact Or you know stay on the ground It doesn't fly up when there's wind And it also Makes it a little grippier More grip So it does affect the clay Which is why probably Why Djokovic is probably thinking Hang on how can you bloody figure it out There's been a 4-1 to 4-1 rally That goes down the line to the backhand of Elkres Back in at Djokovic With a drop shot Not very good Elkres gets it with the forehand Oh did he hit it in?

tennis Right here So I appreciate it All right Djokovic to the backhand on the stretch just dumps it in the net Now this is a little bit too much spin Kicks it up 30-15 Apologies if I can't read the chat It's a little bit crazy A little bit awkward to read because it's just As soon as I start reading it just something disappears So apologies 30-15 There's been a backup return from Djokovic Into the forehand of Al Kharaz Djokovic hit the ball deep again Into the backhand of Al Kharaz Who goes to the backhand of Djokovic Al Kharaz the backhand of the stretch Sliced Djokovic forehand on the attack Slipped over and hits in the ground Djokovic slipped as he went around that 40-15 another slip shot That's a shame for Noley As soon as he slipped on the line as well He didn't fall over but he just kind of lost his foot And was enough to hit in the net 40-15 Serving to the forehand of Djokovic Oh Noley in the net And it's 3-2 In the second Okay Trumpets blow him We love to hear it Unbelievable Unbelievable Unbelievable No Unbelievable Unbelievable Unbelievable Unbelievable Unbelievable I don't care about what they were saying Alfred Cam who has the most fighting spirit Djokovic or Nadal They both do I mean that's so hard to pick I mean probably I don't know And thank you creatures with a super stick I appreciate it To be honest Djokovic has different fighting power than Nadal Because Djokovic is down Match points Championship points That's when he shows that fight But Djokovic I mean Nadal The physicality of the fight You know playing when his body is saying No I mean there's just I don't know They're very similar I mean I don't think you can split them at all They both have it That's why they're both the best players Two of the best players we've ever seen Weisskauer is still the betting favorite Because he is leading in this set And he wins the second set It's back to It might as well be 0-0 Yeah I feel like physically Nadal is a bigger fighter physically But mentally it's probably I mean how many times has Nadal had match points and lost though Not many So it's hard to say But how many times has he saved match points Not as many as Djokovic right To win matches So yeah it's so hard to split the difference How many times have Nolay left for dead and came back Well that's it Exactly Rafa is definitely beefier All right here we go Djokovic send me again Why is the crowd against Nolay? They're not against Nolay They're four or five set match And if Elkeris wins the second They'll probably be back on Djokovic's side So the crowd aren't against Djokovic here The crowd are four Elkers Getting back in the match to make it a five setter So don't get it twisted It's different People cheering for the other guy louder Is because they want him to come back And I said that would happen in the preview Whoever won the first set The crowd would go to the other person Because Djokovic had the crowd in the first set For the most part The crowd want Elkers to win the second To make it as close to five sets as we can Djokovic with an ace First one of the day Bang First ace of the day As he serves a beautiful ace out wide 15 love Djokovic serves again Nolay serves A fault Second serve Now his second serve is getting a little better here Djokovic But it's still a problem 15 love 1 hour 23 played Serve guarantee is great Second serve Elkers gets it back 4-0 from Djokovic Again the 4-0 Elkers on the stretch In the net from Elkers again 30 love 30 love This commentator badly wants Elkers to win Chat Oh chat Tell him Tell him who I picked You must have just got here Welcome Appreciate it Thanks for joining us Feel free to subscribe Maybe but watch the preview videos first For your type 30 love Serve out wide as a fault Second serve Oh he wants Elkers to win Cool We

Nolay's had in a long time on serve Even with the second serves 40 love To take The game and level things up again Djokovic doesn't look as bad As much in trouble as he did in the first set though The first set It felt like Djokovic is hanging on the lead Djokovic just kind of Felt a little bit more relaxed here Looks a lot more relaxed As he serves another fault Second serve Second serve Second serve Djokovic 40 love As he serves out wide The back of the Velker Return goes into the back of the Djokovic Down the line in the net from Nolay 40-15 40-15 Ashley Haven't seen you here Hey what's going on All right 40-15 Yeah just ask Ashley who I picked Just ask Ashley who I picked She'll tell you 40-15 As Djokovic serves again Down the tee The back of the Velker Return goes in the front of Djokovic Back in the Velker Is good Djokovic gets it Back in the Velker Down the line is long And it's 3-3 There are so many errors Coming off the Velker's racket right now And I'll tell you what We're going to go back to what happened last year Remember Zverev Randomly Unexpectedly Beat Carlos that day How did he do it Well I watched the extended highlights To get to figure it out for you So let me tell you what happened that day Elkraz hit A total Of 46 winners And 56 errors He served at 60% that day He's actually serving better than he did Against Zverev But he's not winning as many points on his first serve As he did last year against Zverev He also was 2 out of 6 break points Converted against Zverev He hasn't converted them yet So Elkraz is playing at the moment Slightly worse If we keep this going And also serving Maybe serving more first serves But that doesn't mean you're serving better As with a 400 backhand rally Now it goes to the 4 out of Elkraz 4 out of Elkraz down the line Is good Elkraz with a backhand Elkraz attacks With a forehand Inside out Elkraz is seeing that one Backhand to backhand As Elkraz again on the stretch Puts up a lob Elkraz with a drop shot Not very good Elkraz gets there And hits it out No they let him off there 15 love And also that day Zverev was serving at 71% Of first serve points in And he won Sorry 71% of first serves in 73% of points won On the first serve Zverev that day Look at Djokovic That's where he's at at the moment Also Zverev converted 3 Out of the 8 break points he faced Oh he got So again Djokovic 1 out of 2 so far Djokovic playing on a lot more like Zverev Was last year against Elkraz Which is maybe why we're witnessing this At the moment But Elkraz comes to the net Djokovic is a lob Elkraz with a shank smash 15 all And Carlos is really not looking good right now 15 all Nearly an hour and a half played As Elkraz serves Down the tee a fault Second serve Second serve Second serve into the front of Djokovic Return to the front of Elkraz Drop shot is good Djokovic is there with a slice He's there Elkraz with a slice Drop shot back He did a cheeky drop shot there Elkraz 30-15 But Noley got to the drop shot Djokovic is having a big chat to himself there He wasn't happy with how he played that point Again a second shot The second time I should say Elkraz has actually won Thanks to a drop shot But Noley got there and he's like Probably should have gone Down the line instead But hey 30-15 Serve out wide is a let Let from Elkraz Another serve coming up Out wide the back end of Djokovic Serve volley Elkraz That's not very good Djokovic gets him at the back end And hits it out Oh he can't miss those 40-15 Oh man Djokovic doesn't miss that It was too easy The pass was great Elkraz had to hit a slice And then Djokovic just sprayed it long And Djokovic is about to smash his racket on the net too Because he's like I can't miss that He can't miss those 40-15 40-15 Serve to the back end of Djokovic's return Is long Elkraz stays in front But man Djokovic is letting him stay in front The last couple of games Djokovic just had a chance Or at least had those like 30-15 points Man All right 4-3 Hey Esther Thank you for becoming a member Appreciate that Also we've got 9 Almost 10,000 people in the chat again Thank you so much for joining us Don't forget to subscribe Rowan Tam is the best tennis streamer 11 quadrillion 111 trillion 111 billion 111 million 111,111 percent That's a lot Thank you so much Rowan Appreciate that By the way Djokovic Shaking out the right arm Summons up Nole's got something wrong with his arm Trainer on court Djokovic has something wrong with his arm It looks like something wrong with here Or the wrist It might be the wrist I don't think it's a medical timeout but Yes it is Medical timeout for Djokovic Right arm It looks like here Not the wrist It's more a forearm Djokovic medical timeout Uh-oh The crowd doesn't like Nole The crowd wants Elkraz to come back To make it a match Don't take it personal All right Djokovic is having a medical timeout Because his arm Something wrong with his arm His forearm He's getting a real working out On that forearm I don't know if it's the elbow But he's definitely trying to He was stretching it out before And shaking it out Now he has that elbow problems During this clay court season Remember Back in Monte Carlo In practice He hurt his elbow Against Baratini Had to wear the sleeve He hasn't wore the sleeve for a couple of weeks But he did have Problems with the elbow Reoccurring back in Monte Carlo It hurt him against Mussetti He pulled out a Madrid with it Hopefully it's not the same thing Hopefully it's just maybe a muscle Saunas Because he's played a lot of tennis 4-3 He's getting the medical timeout Getting a real massage on that forearm Typical I don't think it's a fake injury Chatter I think it's uh It seems pretty legit Why would he get an injury timeout Of his winning Like it's kind of silly Thank you, Regina I appreciate it Well, almost at 2000 likes Thank you for that Don't forget to subscribe as well Plenty more to go We've got Rude vs. Varev Coming up next That is happening after this Jokovic receiving a medical timeout On the arm The right arm On the forearm Looks maybe Maybe muscle related Hopefully nothing to do with the elbow That he hurt earlier in the year Hopefully But so far Let's do a recap First set Jokovic got the early break And held onto it He could have won the first set 6-2 Elkvish hung around long enough But Jokovic was able to clutch it out But Jokovic has faced four break points To Elkvish's two The difference being that Elkvish has been broken Jokovish didn't get broken in that first set And in the second set It's been kind of cruisy No one's really had a chance To break Or no one's had Uh, no one really looks like breaking yet But um One cast has given Elkvish a big talking to But uh I can say physically now Jokovic Is for sure Physically hampered compared to Elkvish So this second set May be more important for Jokovic To take it Get that two set buffer Now Elkvish gets it This could be Could be scary for Nolle in the third Okay Jokovic Just warming out the arm He's got a serve now He has to serve All right What am I doing here we go Hopefully Nolle stays healthy Yeah, I mean This match being such I mean right now It's probably a little under Underwhelming Unless Elkvish gets the second But Unless you're a Jokovic fan Then you're probably thinking It's the greatest match I've ever seen All right, Jokovic's a serve Let's see if the elbow or the arm Is a problem Or if it was just sore And he needed some help Some help with this He serves a foul Second serve And the serve is gonna be affected by What's that hurt arm Four three Second serve Jokovic Second serve Into the forehand of Elkvish Back in Elkvish Into the backhand of Elkvish Again to the backhand Oh so the forehand of Jokovic Into the forehand of Elkvish Again to the forehand of Nolle As Elkvish is at the forehand Down the line Jokovic gets with the backhand But it goes long and it's Love 15 Love 15 And now you should really worry About Jokovic because He was being pretty Cruisy on serve so far But that hurt That arm That hurt arm Elkvish is gonna start He can smell the blood He's a shark He can smell the blood in the water Love 15 Jokovic takes his time And he's first serves Second The first serve Is an ace Elkvish is gonna have a look though But it looked like an ace Yeah Down the tee 15 all And Elkvish just Sweeping the mark of ways I don't wanna see that Alright 15 all 15 all As Jokovic serves Down the tee again Backhand after Elkvish goes in Jokovic forehand Again To the forehand of Elkvish Of Jokovic Elkvish with the backhand Cross court Nolle over with the backhand Again at the backhand of Elkvish Into the backhand of Jokovic Elkvish with the forehand Down the line is good Jokovic gets it with a slice Elkvish with the forehand again Down the line Jokovic with old lob Elkvish comes in for the smash No he runs back in to forehand instead As Jokovic hits the slice again Now the smash And Jokovic gets it With another lob Elkvish puts down which you get them with a lot of the lob, but it's wide. Alcaraz was attacking, attacking, attacking, 15-30. And now he's getting the crowd involved, Alcaraz. 15-30, and what a time to get hurt. By the way, Andy Murray's playing right now. That's weird. He's playing a challenger. Just seen that. 15-30, needs first serves. Alcaraz, he's going for it. He's going for the break. He's like, I can get you while you're hurt, while you're worried about your arm, while you're distracted. I'm going to get you. 18-shot rally, longest of the match. 15-30, Alcaraz serves. Serves, and it's hit, Alcaraz returns, shanks, but it goes in, Alcaraz on the stretch, in the net. Alcaraz had that too. It was the perfect shot, but he hits it in the net. 30-all, 30-all, man, that was right there for Alcaraz to hit a winner too. 30-all, massive point here. Alcaraz had four break points in the match. Hasn't been able to take him. Remember the 30-all points, pressure points. Djokovic is winning that category right now. He serves a fault though on this one. Second serve, big second serve needed. For a little bit of luck, I guess, if you want to bank on Alcaraz missing. Second serve, second serve. Djokovic's bouncing the ball so much. Second serve into the front of Alcaraz. Djokovic with the forehand on the stretch. Alcaraz in control with the forehand shanked, but it goes in. Now Djokovic takes over, forehand to forehand. As Djokovic again with the forehand of Alcaraz. Drop shot, Alcaraz is good. Djokovic runs, down the line. Oh, he's out! He pushed it out! 30-40. The Alcaraz drop shot worked. And Djokovic just pushed it long. It's a shame he got this. So he got there with so much time as well. All right, Alcaraz with the 90s late. Here we go. Here we go. 30-40. And this break points feels a little bit different. After what's happened with Djokovic in the last, probably one or two games. 30-40. Djokovic bouncing the ball. He serves. Out wide, good kick to the back end of Alcaraz. Return goes in, Djokovic forehand into the front of Alcaraz. Again to the front of Djokovic, to the back end of Alcaraz. Back into an all-way. Again to the back end of Alcaraz. Into the back end of Djokovic. Alcaraz with a forehand. Djokovic's pushing him back. Back end of back end. As Alcaraz runs around, it's a forehand out! That was silly. That was silly. As Djokovic pumps his fist. That was silly. Alcaraz ran around a back end, hit a forehand. It was never gonna work. And he threw the point away. Like he shanked. Like that was, he should've just gone back end. He was running backwards and he just hit it out. He was trying to do the ridiculous immature shot, that was. Silly, silly, silly. All right, hopefully, well for Alcaraz's sake, hopefully it doesn't cost him. Because he should've just hit a root. He was winning that rally if he kept going. Deuce. Djokovic serves. Out wide to the front of Alcaraz. Return goes in to the front of Djokovic down the line. That's a great shot. Alcaraz with a slice in the front of Djokovic. Alcaraz to the pass. Djokovic volleys. But he hits it out and a big shot from Alcaraz! Massive shot! Djokovic at the net. Against Alcaraz. Too much power. That's a shame because Djokovic had that point one and till the volley. And he went to the, he went to the Alcaraz forehand. Advantage Alcaraz to get the break here and serve for the second. It was a six minute game, it was nearly a seven minute game here. Alcaraz with a serve. Sorry, Djokovic with a serve. Alcaraz with a break point. Serve. One hour, 40 minutes played. Djokovic serves. Out wide, Alcaraz with a backhand. That is a moon ball into the front of Djokovic. Into the front of Alcaraz. Djokovic almost hit it out. Backhand to backhand. As Alcaraz hit the forehand now. Again, the backhand of Djokovic with a stretch. That one's going up. It's going out. Alcaraz finally breaks. And it was only a matter of time. It just, that game just felt way different for Djokovic. He didn't look the same. He just doesn't look the same. He looked comfy in the first game, looked like five games. And then after the medical timeout and all that, it looks a little bit different. Maybe he's a little worried. By the way, we've got 10K in the house. What's up? Don't forget to subscribe. We haven't already. Alcaraz serving for the second. Man, Djokovic looks a lot weaker right now with that, after that medical timeout. Not the same. Not the same guy. Alcaraz serving for the set. Djokovic looks a little worried. As Alcaraz serves. For the second set. He serves that wider fault. Second serve. Second serve. Second serve to the back end of Djokovic, back end of Alcaraz, the backhand of Djokovic. Alcaraz with the front of the stretch. Djokovic with the backhand. Into the back end of Alcaraz. Who goes to the front of Djokovic? Alcaraz with the forehand. Into the front of Nole. Again, to the front of Alcaraz. Djokovic starting to attack. Down the line. Into the slice of Alcaraz. It goes in. Djokovic backhand. Cross court. Alcaraz gets out on the stretch. Djokovic slips over, it goes down and long from Alcaraz. Love 15. And look, Djokovic, because of this, I mean, let's call it an injury, but I mean, let's call this annoying injury. This annoying discomfort. Let's call it discomfort. He might just play more aggressive. He might play more aggressive, which actually might help him. Love 15. But Alcaraz, when the rally gets started, watch out. Love 15. Alcaraz with a serve. Out wide, the backhand of Djokovic. Djokovic hits it out. 15-0. Good serve. Nole just couldn't handle it. You reckon Djokovic's going on the toilet after this, bathroom after this, or after the next game? 15-0, after the next set, I should say. 15-0. As Alcaraz serves again, Alcaraz serves. A fault. Second serve. Second serve, Alcaraz. Second serve to the form of Djokovic. Return goes the form of Alcaraz. Four-now Djokovic again to the form of Alcaraz. Who hits it deep? Alcaraz to the form again. Elk goes on the stretch with a four-in to the backhand of Djokovic. He nearly fell over, Alcaraz. It gets back up, four-in now. Into the backhand of Djokovic, again the backhand of Alcaraz. Again to the backhand of Nole. Elk goes on the stretch, gets it. Djokovic crosscourt. Elk goes again to the form of Djokovic now from Alcaraz. What a rally, just bang, bang, bang. That was a shootout, 15-30. Djokovic with a chance to get back. But man, that was bang, bang, bang. That was a very quick, quick point. All right, 15-30. Chance for Noel to get the break back. And that was a very, very quick fire rally. And Djokovic is playing very aggressive, which is interesting. 15-30. Algra serves. An ace. Bang, out wide. It's third of the day, 30-all. And now Djokovic just drops his head like, oh, he got me. Third ace, Djokovic did it two, 30-all. There's another serve coming up here for Alkaraz. Another serve. Serving the back end of Djokovic, goes in the back end of Alkaraz. Drop shot is good. Djokovic is going to get there with a four-hand drop shot back. Alkaraz gets it with a pass, but it's wide. Oh, he went for the angle. You're not raffa. You're not raffa. 30-40. A break back point to get back on serve. He went for the angle and he's like, too fine, too much. 30-40. To get back on serve, Djokovic. Alkaraz serves. A fault. Ooh, he was going to serve volley. The hell? Second serve. Second serve. Out wide. The back end of Djokovic. Serving volley. Oh, no, he hit it wide. Oh. That was almost Djokovic's shot of the tournament. But he just hit it wide. Just. Alkaraz's second serve served volley. Deuce. He just hit it wide. Woo. All right, Deuce. Another serve coming up here for Alkaraz. He serves out wide. It's a fault. Djokovic missed the return again by this much. Second serve. By the way, we've got 11,000 people here. Jesus Christ. Second serve. Into the back end of Djokovic. Great return. Alkaraz gets it with the back end. Into the back end of Nole. For one of them, Alkaraz down the line. Djokovic with a slice. Goes in, but Alkaraz on the attack with a drop shot. Nole's going to get there, though, with a slice down the line. Alkaraz's forehand pass. Oh, is it out? It's out. He missed it. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. Alkaraz missed it. He hit it too hard. He hit it too hard. He hit it way too hard. Why were you hitting it that hard? Jesus. All right. He sprayed it. I mean, he could have hit that any speed. It would have been a winner. Breakback point for Djokovic to get back in this set. Alkaraz serves to the forehand of Djokovic. Return goes in. Alkaraz with the backhand into the backhand of Djokovic down the line, and Nole hits it on the line. That's how you hit a winner. We're back on serve. That is how you do it. Huge backhand from Nole down the line. He's like, that's right. That's right. I'm a goat. I'm the goat. All right, here we go. But he's got a hold serve to make it even. He's got a hold serve. Goat doing goat things. Yeah. He got a little fortunate with the Alkaraz miss. And that's just, look, again, Alkaraz in a year doesn't make that error. But maybe he's a little bit over excited at times. But that's fine. He's still winning at the moment. He's still winning. But yeah, maybe just don't try and hit the ball 100 miles an hour. Great match of the moment, yeah. Come on, Carlos. Nole rocks. Love to see it. Nole the goat. This is a roller coaster of a match. It sure is. Let's be honest, Alkaraz got favorite with Djokovic's potential injury. Well, that's it. The reason why Djokovic is still the favorite, even though he's down a set, is because of Djokovic's discomfort in the arm, which is probably the best way to describe it, because he doesn't get it wrapped up. So I don't know if you can call it a real big injury. But he's definitely feeling some pain in the arm, which is going to affect the serve. Just probably why he didn't celebrate massively when he hit that backhand. He kind of just walked away like, yeah, all right, we're not done yet. We've just got this, we've got to get the next game. That's the next one. The big game is next. Can't see the chat. That's because it's so busy. Some wild errors from Carlos. Yeah, it's been all day though. It's been all day. All right, chat. Djokovic serving to stay in the set. This might be worse. This might be harder for Djokovic in the last game because his service games have been a bit troublesome so far today. Last game we got broken on serve. So, all right, here we go. Djokovic serving to level things up. Elkra serve for the set. Didn't take it. Didn't take it. Serve to the tee. That's a foul. Second serve. Second serve. Again, second serves. Too many. Second serve. Into the front of Elkra, has returned the front of Djokovic. Elkra's with the forehand. Down the line. Djokovic's there with the backhand. A bit of a moon ball pushing Elkra's back. As Djokovic goes in with the backhand cross court. Elkra's runs right into four and down the line. That's a winner. You just feel like when those rallies start, you're just waiting for Elkra to do that. He's starting to dictate with that forehand. Unfortunately for Djokovic, there's too short in the court. Love 15. And Djokovic's just dropping the head as well. He's like, damn it, you got me. You bloody got me. That's his 10th forehand winner Elkra. That's his shot. That's his weapon. Sets up the, he uses the backhand to set up that forehand and it's crazy scary. Serving the backhand of Elkra's. Backhand of Djokovic. Into the slice of Elkra's. Again to the backhand of Nolay is. Elkra's with the backhand on the stretch. Down the line is good. Djokovic gets with the forehand on the stretch. Elkra's forehand down the line, throws the hammer again. Love 30. And again, that forehand. Love 30. Love 30. Big chance for Elkra's to break to win the set. Calm down, Kem. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Am I getting a little too excited about the best match of the year? I'm sorry. Sorry, chatter. Love 30. Chance for Elkra's to break here. And take the set. And he'll be serving first in the third, which might be massive. Love 30. Djokovic needs first serves. He serves down to see the backhand of Elkra's. The turn goes in. Djokovic's forehand is shanked, but it goes in to the forehand of Elkra's. Backhand at Djokovic. Get in the backhand of Elkra's. Djokovic is in the backhand. Drop shot. Oh no. Elkra's is there with a pass. Djokovic can't get it. This is going to be our biggest duty. Djokovic is running out of answers. Love 40. Love 40. Man. Even when he hits the ball deep, that drop shot was not it. Elkra's was like, really? You're going to do that? That's my shot. Love 40. To get back, or to get level again and make this a three-set match. Love 40. Djokovic serves. By the way, thank you in for becoming a member. I appreciate that. Love 40. Elkra's to level things up. Serve. Djokovic is a foul. Second serve. Second serve. Second serve. Djokovic into the backhand of Elkra's. Return goes in. Nolle's backhand goes into the forehand of Elkra's. Backhand at Djokovic. Again, the backhand of Elkra's. The backhand of Djokovic. Elkra's backhand. Again, the backhand of Djokovic down the line. Elkra's on the stretch. Gets it. Into the forehand of Djokovic. Elkra's again on the stretch. Djokovic backhand. Cross court. Elkra's flicks it, but Djokovic volleys it. Elkra's going to get there and hit it out. This is going to be on tennis TV, bro. What a rally. And Elkra's is laughing. He's like, that would have been the shot of the day. I mean, he's just laughing, Elkra's. He's laughing. He's like, how did I miss that? Still set point, 15-40. I mean, Djokovic's way too casual on the volleys. If we go to who he's playing, he should be playing more urgent Djokovic on some of those shots. Because you can't just tap the volleys in the court because Elkra's going to get it. You've got to put the volleys away. 15-40. Another set point. Djokovic serves. By the way, we've got 11,000 people here. What's up? Djokovic serves. Down the tee, the back end of Elkra's. Volley from Djokovic. Elkra's going to get there with a pass, but he hits all it's in the ground. Oh, he hit the shot. He's serving volleys. And again, the volleys just like, way too casual. Elkra's wasn't ready though. He was thinking it was going to be a little bit more aggressive. Djokovic's just like, boop. And Elkra's just like, oh shit, I thought I was going to have to run. And he just hit in the ground. Still set point, 30-40. 30-40, set point number three. For Elkra's to take us to a third once at all. Serve. Djokovic needs a first serve. He gets it. And it's out in the net from Elkra's. Huge serve from Nole. We're a deuce. That was clutch. That was clutch. Just a kicker out wide and Elkra's was not even there. No chance. Deuce. Chat, give me one emoji of how you're feeling right now. One emoji. We get to deuce. We get to deuce. As Djokovic serves. Out wide. Another good serve in the net. But falling in the net from Elkra's. Advantage Djokovic to level this set. From love 40 down. Advantage Djokovic. Built different. Elkra's has got a lot of the same, but bloody hell. From love 40. Let's see if he can level though. He needs a first serve. He's hit a couple of good ones. As he serves. Advantage Djokovic to level things up here in the second. Serve. Nope. Nole taking the time. Advantage Djokovic serve. Into the front of Elkra's. The turn goes in the back of Djokovic. Elkra's backhand. Into the back of Nole on the stretch. Elkra's with a slice. Into the front of Djokovic. The front of Elkra's on the stretch. He hits it out. Djokovic holds. What a hold. This is gonna be our biggest achievement. And he's sawing the fists. Five, five. From love 40 down. Djokovic holds. Woo. Man. And that was a big reaction. We haven't seen Djokovic be like that all day. All right. Now it's Elkra's who has the pressure. Cause he probably should have won that set. He should have won on his serve. And definitely should have a love 40. I mean, bloody hell. And Nole screams. Here we go. Back to Elkra's. Elkra serves. A fault. Second serve. Second serve. Down the tee. Djokovic gets it back, but Elkra's has a forehand. Oh, Djokovic is just right. Ha ha. This is gonna be our biggest achievement. Down the line and Nole gives a look. Did anyone say Wimbledon 2019? Lovely backhand from Djokovic. You guessed right. Now Chris is like, I threw my best forehand at you and you hit a winner. Bloody hell. Love 15. Love 15. Just joining us. Elkra's up 5-3. He had three set points. Djokovic backhand return. Elkra goes into the backhand of Djokovic. Now down the line. Elkra's in big trouble. That's it. Oh, it's in. Djokovic gets it though. Elkra's in the lob. It's up. It's up. It's in. Back in the rally. Went a forehand. Elkra somehow recovers. Has been a backhand now from Djokovic. Again to the front of Elkra's. Drop shot is good. Djokovic's gonna get there with a slice. Drop shot in the net. Elkra's recovered. That was ridiculous. That was Raffer-esque. That was insane. How did he get the forehand? How did he get the forehand? And Djokovic should have hit that drop shot in. I mean, that should have been. He missed that one. He's like, he's gotta think he's playing Raffer because that was Raffer. 15-0. Back to Carlos. The crowd are going Carlos because they wanna see as many sets as they can. So Carlos has to win this one to make it more interesting for the match. Nearly two hours played as well. Elkra serves. Djokovic returns. Elkra comes in with a swinging volley. Djokovic gets it right with a lob. Up it goes. Elkra smash. Djokovic gets it right with a forehand. Now Elkra's with a drop shot. That is too good. This is gonna be on tennis TV, bro. Too good from Elkra's. 30-15. He's two steps ahead. He's two steps ahead. Stop it. Stop doing that. That's crazy. You can't do that against a goat. That's not fair. 30-15. All right, Elkra's with another serve. That last serve, by the way, 220 kilometers. Woo, some fire. All right, Elkra's with a serve. 30-15. That's in the net. Halfway up the net. Second serve. Second serve, Elkra's. Taking his time. Bounce, bounce, bounce. He serves. Into the back of Djokovic. Return goes in the back of Elkra's. Djokovic's backhand. Down the line. Elkra's there with a forehand cross-court. Djokovic forehand as well. Into the front of Elkra's. Djokovic to the backhand. Passing shot. Elkra's volleys. Djokovic's forehand is a winner down the line. It's the first time Elkra's has come to the net and it didn't look good. 30-all. He came to the net and Djokovic made him really work for it. 30-all. 30-all. Djokovic was down 5-3 in the set. He was down love 40 in the last game. Three set points saved. Elkra's needs to win this game. 30-all. Serve at wide. Is a let. Djokovic slaps it back like, get that shit out of here. Get that out of here. 30-all. First serve again. Somebody in the crowd just, what the hell was that noise? Someone made a noise. They fired it. Serve. Down the tee, the backhand of Djokovic. Serve and volleys. Elkra's. That's not gonna be good enough. Djokovic to the backhand. Oh, it's in the net. Oh, no way in the net. Elkra survived. That shouldn't have been, Elkra's got very lucky. Serve and volleys. And Djokovic made an error. That was lucky for Elkra as he needed. Maybe need a little bit of luck. 40-30. Goran's like, don't miss that, buddy. You make me look bad. 40-30. Elkra's, he's gonna kick the ball out wide. He's already standing in the position. He's already standing out wide. He's gonna hear the kick. He serves. Out wide is a fault. Second serve. 40-30. Elkra's a lead again. Second serve. Second serve is a big serve. Djokovic gets it. Backhand out Elkra's. Into the corner of Djokovic. Again, the backhand of Elkra's. Backhand out from Djokovic. Again, to the backhand slice of Elkra's. Into the backhand slice of Djokovic. He hit the drop shot. Elkra's gets it. Djokovic with a backhand volley. Elkra's gonna get there with a lob. Djokovic puts it down and away. Nolay puts it down. This is gonna be our biggest deal. And it's Deuce. Elkra's got there. I mean, he might've even hit that lob wide, but Djokovic was like, I'm not taking chances with this kid. Nice hustle from Elkra's. The point's never over. Yeah, that was going in from Elkra's, even though he shanked it. Elkra just makes you play three, four, five, six, seven more shots. And we get to Deuce. What happens when someone gets hit by the ball? They lose a point. They lose a point if they get hit by a ball. By the way, don't forget to subscribe. We're almost at 140K. There's no way we get there today, but thank you. As we deserve. Into the front of Djokovic. Down the line with the backhand of Elkra's. Who hit it in the net? Oh, he went for it too big again. Advantage Djokovic to take the break and serve for a two sets of love lead. Elkra has hit it too. He smacked the ball in the net. He should have gone a little less aggressive. Advantage Djokovic to take the break. Elkra serves into the front of Djokovic. Return goes good. Into the backhand now of Nole. That's cross-court. Into the backhand of Elkra's. Backhand of Djokovic is again to the backhand of Elkra's. But Djokovic hits it wide. Over hits it. Back to Deuce. It should be the final. Well, yeah. It should be. Who knows? Maybe we get a final that's even better. Or maybe we get a good final too. I don't know. All right. Back to Deuce. Djokovic is backhand. Two times in this game has let him down. The one when he hit it straight at Elkra's and went in the net. And the second one that just went wide then. Elkra's still at Deuce though. He serves a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Elkra's bouncing, bouncing, bouncing. He serves out to the front of Djokovic. Djokovic's in the net. Advantage Elkra's. Advantage Elkra's to get back to lead. Man, what a set. What a crowd. We've seen everything so far in this match. Elkra's ridiculous shots. Djokovic fighting back. A little bit of an injury from Nole. Four Nole, I should say. A lot of crazy tenders. A lot of tension. Insane. Advantage Elkra's to get back to lead. He serves into the back of Djokovic. Return goes in. Four Nole Elkra's down the line. Djokovic on the stretch, gets it. Elkra's with a slice. Djokovic comes in with the backhand. Cross-court of the backhand of Elkra's into the front of Djokovic. Elkra's with the forehand. But Djokovic isn't out. And Elkra survives. This is gonna be our biggest TV run. And now he's got the lead again. And Djokovic has to play a tiebreaker if he's gonna go up two sets of love. Elkra's wants to steal it like he almost did in the last game. Okay. Hey, thank you Chump Change. Appreciate it. Welcome to the channel. Appreciate it. Avid footy fan. Love the dons. Thank you. Well, thank you for joining us. I am an Esen fan. I am a long suffering Esen fan. All right. Six five. If you're just joining us in this set. Elkra's was up five three. Djokovic was down love 40. Held serve. Leveled at five five after breaking. Now Elkra's got the lead again. Can Djokovic make it to the tiebreak? Now, if you remember what happened in Madrid. First, it was a tiebreak. Djokovic won it. Second set, seven five Elkras. Third set, tiebreak Elkras. So this is gonna be a huge game for Djokovic. And he has been shaking on serve no lay. I mean, look at the nut break points. One out of nine for Elkras. So Djokovic has been shaking including those last at the last game at love 40. This is worth the hype. Oh, for sure. I mean, there was no result that we could have been like, oh, this match was stupid. Every result that could have been, you know, straight sets win for either guy. Five sets, four sets, clock. Like if Djokovic won like one, 11, one that would have been like strange, but everything else was gonna be very interesting. And we, I mean, this is crazy. I mean, the tiebreak, watch out. If we get to a tiebreaker, it's gonna be intense. All right, Chad, here we go. Here we go. Elkras to serve, sorry, Djokovic to serve to get to the tiebreak. We've got 11,000 people in the chat. I don't know how many people are in this stadium, but there's a few people. We probably fill that stadium pretty well, I reckon. All of us. We all, we all go to the tennis and we'll take all their seats. They've got a full stadium over there and we've got a full house here. We're just getting started. We're just getting started. Djokovic, to take us to the tiebreak, serve. Out wide, Elkras Slyce, volley from Nollay. He's wide. Cut it too fine, he knows how quick he is, Elkras. Love 15, love 15. Stadium capacity is 15,000, Jesus. Well, we definitely can fill that chat. We got it. One in the chat if you wanna go to the French Open next year and we'll fill the stadium. One's in the chat for the, to go to the French next year together. You can imagine we'd be louder than the French. We'd be going nuts. Love 15, serve now from Djokovic. Into the front of Elkras, it's a fault. Second serve. And then the last game, Djokovic was down, love 40. Love 40 in the last game, Djokovic. Second serve. Into the front of Elkras, back in at Djokovic. The backhand, Slyce of Elkras, drop shot is good. Djokovic gets there but hits it in the net, love 30. And again, Elkras just attacking or just hurting Djokovic on serve. By the way, you're gonna have to find your own way there. I'm not gonna, I can't even afford to get there myself. How do you think I can afford everybody else? We'll all meet there. We'll all get there ourselves. I'll see you there. We're doing a meetup. French Open next year, meetup. Love 30. It was like the last game again. Djokovic has to get the points. As he serves down the table, the backhand of Elkras, good return. Djokovic hits a forehand, Elkras in control. Backhand, backhand. As Djokovic again to the backhand of Elkras, hits it down the line. Knoll over the slice, goes wide, love 40 again. Man, and Elkras doesn't even look bothered. He's like, yeah, of course it's love 40. I've done it once, I do it again. Love 40. And you just, as soon as the rally starts, you're just waiting for Elkras to do that. And Djokovic, man, he just can't find, he just can't get the free points. Love 40. Love 40. What's going on, James? How you doing? Thank you mate, appreciate it. Welcome back. Love 40. To take the second set, Elkras. He was at love 40 in the last game too. As Djokovic serves, down the tee, Elkras returns. Djokovic, forehand inside out, is long! Level! Seven, five, Elkras in the second. You just don't like if it's one too many for Djokovic. Just one too many. All right, seven, five. Elkras in the second. We're one set all in this epic. Ha ha, third set, chat. Woof, third set. But the bad thing is, Vanolay is serving second. And that was the problem in that set. Djokovic's gone to the bathroom, who called it. He's gone to the bathroom, he's gonna take, he's gonna take a rest. Okay, here we go. Elkras takes the second, and he was the better player. Like, Elkras didn't win the second, it would've been, for him, it would've been devastating, because he was the better player. He had love 40 in the last game, he had love 40 here, he had the break. So Elkras levels, as he should have. But Djokovic's just gotta figure out this serve. This serve is not working. That elbow, or whatever the hell's wrong with his arm, that's a problem. It's a big problem. All right, thank you again, chat. Everybody here, thank you for joining us. We're almost at 140K too, which is insane, so thank you for that. All right, nine winners in that set for Elkras, 12 errors, eight winners, 14 errors for Djokovic. Djokovic's just serving with bad. He only won 57% of his first serve points in LA, that was not good, not good for Nolay. He is still serving well, but he's not getting the free points that he was in the first set. We have a chance for five sets, we do. This set is huge, huge, more for Djokovic. It feels like the first set again, right? Djokovic kind of has to win the first set to make it interesting. If Elkras wins the third, then it might be GGs. I mean, I don't want to doubt Djokovic, but it might be it. Winning a tight second set is huge for Carlos, five sets looking likely now. I don't know, I think if Elkras wins the third, he might win the fourth. Now remember, Elkras is longest match of the year? Three hours, he's going to blitz that today. Unless this happen finishes in like 20 minutes, which won't, I mean, two more sets, minimum. So I think Elkras is going to play the longest match of his year. Nolay in five, in my opinion, okay. I feel like if it's, again, if I feel like if Djokovic is going to win this, he has to win this set. If Elkras is going to win, he doesn't need to win this set. That's what it feels like, just like the first set. You know, if Djokovic was going to be in this match, he had to win the first, he did. No, so Elkras wins this third. Djokovic is one of the greatest comebacks of Djokovic's recent career, because maybe against Rafa, obviously Rafa when he beats Rafa, whatever, but this third set is huge for Djokovic. If he's going to make, if he's going to win this match, Djokovic has to mix it up. Elkras starting to gain confidence in his game. He's waiting for Nolay to come back from the bathroom. Nolay has to dig really deep today, of course. Of course, cars in four, let's go. Now we'll find out. Let's make, yeah, we're almost at two and a half thousand likes, appreciate. Again, don't forget to subscribe. We've, man, we've had, I think 11,000 people here before, so thank you for that. No doubt, biggest match of the tournament. Possibly biggest match of the year. I mean, the Australian Open Final was the biggest match of the year. So I think we might be past that, or at least getting close to that in terms of everything. So, I mean, no surprise, right? Semifinal, French Open, two Gladiators, everything that you expect from an Epic. And it's once at all. So we're going to get four sets at least, which is always good. It's already 2.14. This match will be long, five sets. Yeah. Well, the next match, which is, we still have another match, that's going to be almost a night session match at this point. Can 36-year-old keep up with a barely 20-year-old? If we're talking about Rafa, maybe we'd talk about it, but this is not Rafa, this is Nole. Physically, Nole can go with Elcores for five hours. The arm is a problem, but in terms of like, can Elcores and Konjokovic stick with Elcores? Yes, I think he can. Because remember, the three-hour mark in the cinema match, Elcores started to cramp. So there is still some question whether or not Elcores is physically able to go four hours as well. So we've got to keep an eye on Elcores' fitness too, because he's played a lot of really exciting points and that could, you know, remember how we said that Elcores, especially in the first sets of matches, just goes all out and just runs himself into the ground. You just worry that his gas tank might be suffering down the track, but we'll find out. We'll find out. Again, that's what I love about this match. There's so many questions. There's so many questions that we're like, what is going to happen? Is it going to, like, is any of that going to happen? If none of that matter, I don't know. All right, by the way, we're just waiting for Djokovic to come back. Crowd's not happy. They're not happy and they're going to boo Djokovic when he comes back. You can tell that. Because Elcores is ready to go. This crowd are going to boo Djokovic when he walks back. Yeah, this crowd is whistling and booing. Elcores is going to ask the question, like, how long? Here he is. And the crowd boo Djokovic as he comes back because they're bored. They're like, we want to watch more. Why are we doing this? The crowd are booing because they, they're just looking for a reason to boo. They would have booed Elcores if he went to the bathroom as well. So, all right, here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Elcores serving first in the third. Chat, who's winning the third? Give me a score prediction. Let me know. I don't know. I want Djokovic to get the third so we can get a probably a five-setter. But I feel like Elcores with the momentum right now. Like Djokovic is hanging on in that second set. So I'm thinking Elcores, but I want Djokovic to take it so we can get a fiver. There's been a four-in-a-four-in rally. Djokovic's defending. Djokovic, Elcores. Djokovic is going to get it with a slice. As Elcores sets a volley, a four-in-win up. Too easy. 15 loves. A lot of people saying Djokovic will win. Elcores, Elcores, Elcores, okay. Coin flip. All right. The sake of a five-setter, Djokovic, but I feel like Elcores has the momentum. And he also has the first, like he's serving first. So Elcores, if I had to pick, 15 love. Elcores serves out wide. The backhand Djokovic return goes into the front of Elcores. Into the front of Djokovic. Elcores with the forehand. Into the backhand of Djokovic. Elcores with the backhand down the line. No lay on the stretch. Gets a forehand. Cross court. Into the front of Elcores. Four-in-a-four Djokovic down the line is good. Elcores gets up with backhand. Into the backhand of Djokovic. Backhand from Elcores. Into the slice of Djokovic. Elcores with the backhand again. Into the backhand of Djokovic. Into the backhand of Elcores. Is Djokovic at the forehand? Into the backhand of Elcores. Who shakes it behind him? It's court. He's gone. He's gone. Where are the cricket fans? Court behind. Elcores out on 15. He's showing it. Top edge, top edge. He top edged it to the keeper. Top edge of the, or did he miss it? Maybe he missed it completely. Where are the cricket fans? Nope, nobody? 15-all. One for one. All right, 15-all. Nah, no, we gotta get a sneak-o because it might have, I don't know. Where's the hotspot? We need hotspot. Can we get the hotspot? We need hotspot. 15-all. Server to the forehand of Djokovic. Return goes in the forehand of Elcores. That's a good shot. Elcores down with the forehand from Djokovic. Elcores comes in with a swinging volley. No, they can't get it. As soon as Djokovic hits it high, it's over. It's either Elcores makes an error or Djokovic is gonna not get that point back. As soon as he puts up a defensive forehand or backhand. 30-15, 30-15. Love the commentary. Thank you, Pat. Appreciate it. 30-15. Elcores out wide at the backhand. There's a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Elcores, the backhand of Djokovic. Backhand of Elcores. Is it a drop shot? Or it floats wide. Djokovic didn't even try and go for it. Maybe he knew. 30-all. First game. First game of the third. Elcores just, the drop shot just faded. By the way, wind. Not really an issue at the moment. First set it was. This set, it kind of died off. Two hours, 27 minutes, sorry. Two hours, 20 minutes played. 30-all. Elcores serves. A fault. Not a miss for a serve. Not for a first serve. Second serve. Djokovic stands back. Elcores serves again. Into the backhand of Djokovic. Return to the backhand of Elcores. Backhand of Djokovic. Into the backhand of Elcores. Djokovic to the backhand again. Into the backhand of Elcores on the stretch. That goes in, backhand of Djokovic again. To the backhand of Elcores. On the stretch. Djokovic down again. To the backhand of Elcores. Djokovic down with the forehand. Down the line. Again to the backhand of Elcores. Elcores is digging it out. Drop shot on the net from Djokovic. Not a bad idea, but execution was terrible from Nolle. 40-30. But man, he was picking on that backhand. I tell you that. And that drop shot, just not it. I don't love to see a drug, we just smack one down the line, you know? Even if you missed it, it would have been more exciting. 40-30, 40-30. Another serve coming up here. 40-30, well, like 9,500 people in the house. Ridiculous. First serve is a fault. Second serve. Isn't Nolle's drop shot a cheat code? I mean, he's just trying to do Elk res things. Second serve at the backhand of Djokovic. Drop shot Elk res, there we go. As Nolle gets the backhand, but Djokovic is there with a lob. See, that's what I was in. See, that's the thing, Elk res, he doesn't just drop shot. He then lobs. And again, Djokovic just hits Elk res easily. One love Elk res in the third set. The important third set, which should be a tie break if everything goes right. Smart from Elk res knows, right? He never hits a drop shot thinking it's a winner. He hits a drop shot with the, almost like the, just knowing that I'm gonna hit a lob if it, like with the backup plan. It's a drop shot with a backup plan. And it works. The backup plan works every time, almost every time. And Djokovic just has to have a look at his coaches gone. It's a little bit, a little bit worrying, Djokovic. No, one love Elk res in the third. What's up with the empty seats? I don't see him, so I don't know what's up. Okay, Djokovic's just served. Now he's struggled a lot on these last serves. He got broken twice and he held from love 40. So Djokovic just served in the last three games have not been good. John McEnroe abruptly went off from commentary. Wait, like as in, what do you mean? Like he went off as in like he lost his mind and he started yelling and screaming or he went off as in like he disappeared. There's been a four now from Elk res, the four of Djokovic, again, the four of Elk res. Djokovic with a four on the stretch goes into the back end of Elk res. Again, the back end of Djokovic. Elk res in control, back in the back end. Djokovic again, the back end of Elk res. Down the line to the four of Djokovic on the stretch. And that's a winner from Norway. This is gonna be our biggest TV show. Finally, Djokovic doing something that Elk res did. No worries, WK, thank you for joining us. Lovely from Norway, that's what we expect from him. 15 love. 15 love as Djokovic serves again. He's serving in the sun as well, which is not ideal. 15 love. Serving to the four in Elk res. Four in Elk res, the four end of Elk res. But Djokovic did it out, 15 all. Djokovic just needs a game, like a good service game to kind of look good. I'm not looking at, Twitter has nothing, nothing about John McEnroe, so I don't know what's up. Not sure, maybe he just went to the toilet. Anyways, Djokovic 15 all, he serves a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Second serve to the back end of Elk res. Good return to the four end of Djokovic, who hits it in the net. Elk res a charge to the net like Federer. This is gonna be our biggest TV show. And it's 15-30, 15-30. Elk res on the attack, and Djokovic doesn't miss that forehand. Not usually. And again, he's slipping and sliding all over the place, not happy. Court's a slippery, it's been dry all week. 15-30, serve. Is a fault. Second serve, almost two and a half hours played. Djokovic hasn't looked solid on serve for a long time. As he serves that, oh, that's a good second serve, all right. In the net on Elk res, his back end, 30 all. But Djokovic has been shaky on serve for a while now. 30 all. 30 all. Djokovic needs to hold. 30 all. Djokovic with a serve. A fault again. Another fault, second serve. That first serve with percentage is looking worse and worse. Second serve. Second serve to the back end of Elk res. Return goes in, the back end of Djokovic sliced. Elk res in control, he weighs up with a forehand. Djokovic gets us right. Elk res can't get it. Djokovic's anticipation got him out of that, but man, that was lucky. Elk res had control. Lovely forehand from Djokovic, but that was not on purpose. He just went there and he's like, oh, like a goalkeeper saving it just. 40-30, has been another serve here from Djokovic. 40-30, first games of the third, the huge third set. Two sets of one lead is huge. Someone needs it more than the other. By the way, again, Djokovic's serving a fault. Just can't find those first serves. Second serve. Second serve in the body of Elk res. Elk res in the net. Oh, what happened to Elk res? What'd he do there? Elk res hurt his knee. No. Elk res hurt his knee. His knee locked up. Elk res hurts it on. Elk res's knee is locked up. This is not good chat. He can't walk. He's struggling to walk. He can't even move. Elk res his knee locked up. He's, oh no. Djokovic is like, are you okay? Djokovic went over to see if it's all right. Elk res is putting some pressure on the knee. And Elk res, great, look, this is so, like this is why people don't say this. People will not give Djokovic credit here. He's gone to the other end. He's like, are you okay? Sit down, get a time out if you need one. Like Djokovic is like, do what you need to do, man. He's not saying, hurry up and keep playing. No one will mention that because everyone wants to hate Djokovic, but what, like that is class from Djokovic. Elk res is gonna get a medical time out because this knee just locked up. Elk res his knee completely locked up. And Djokovic says, take all the time you need. Take your time out, do your thing. But no one's gonna say that. No one's gonna mention that. Man, that was so out of nowhere too. It's not like he ran for the shot. He just sort of went and then stopped. God, don't be anything bad. Don't be bad. We're getting an assessment here. But he, I mean, he couldn't, he just stood there. I don't think it's cramp because he grabbed the back of his knee. Elk res getting a medical time out. If it's cramp, that's fine. But if it's a knee problem, it might, it might, oh, the crowd's booing, get stuffed. Crowd, shut up crowd. Oh boo, someone's hurting. Shut the hell up. They should all be kicked out. They, stupid crowd. Shut up. Oh boo, he sat down when we were watching the match. Shut up. Get out of here, stupid crowd. If it's a high, it could be a cramp in the calf, but it looked like it was a back of the knee. So it could be a knee, it could be a calf. It's definitely lower leg. It could be a tear. I mean, look, we saw on Stuber, right? She tore a calf just like, kind of like that as well. I mean, so he hit the forehand. Yeah, he hit the forehand and then he just stopped. So yeah, he ran around, he hit the forehand and it was nothing, it was like nothing happened. That's so scary. It could be, it could be cramp or it could be a tear. It might, it doesn't, maybe it's not knee. That's good if it's not knee. If it's not a knee problem, that's good. But it could be a tear in the calf, which is not like that. I mean, if it's a tear in the calf, that's like a jabber, right? I mean, how do you move? Let's hope it's cramp. Let's hope it's cramp. He wouldn't get a medical time out though of his cramp. So it can't be cramp. He might have pulled his calf, but again, you can't get a medical time out of his cramp. Because that's not, the rules don't give you, so it must be something more than cramp but muscle related. Doesn't look like a knee, doesn't look like a knee. So it's not a knee problem. Oh my God, he's walking down the wrong end, is he? It's one all, that change ends. All right, he's back. So Elkres is just, is it two one? How's it two one? What happened? It's one all. What happened? Why is it, did I have a stroke? And the crowd are booing because they're stupid. Wait, hang on, why did Elkres get broken? He conceded the game. He forfeited the game. What the hell? How? So he forfeited the game, got broken for it, was that because of cramp? Because he got a medical time out for cramp? What the hell? He got a game penalty. Why did he get, he got a game penalty. The crowd's booing. Yeah, they're booing because of the, yeah, okay. I thought they're booing because they were, so Elkres got broken or gay, he conceded the game. Now, it's either because he got treatment for cramp, yeah. Because you're not allowed to get treatment for cramp, it's illegal. So did he give a game away for a medical time out due to cramp, and that's why he lost the game? Anyways, Djokovic breaks two one. What the hell? The scoreboard will fix itself. So Djokovic two one and the third because Elkres got medical time out for cramp, which is not allowed. So Djokovic gets rewarded for Elkres' cramping. As Djokovic, Elkres, by the way, Elkres, Elkres is not moving well. Elkres is not moving well. 15 love. Elkres is not, like that was, he walked one way and he just stopped and hid it in the net. It was the umpire's decision to give a game away for cramp. I mean, that's crazy. I don't think I've ever seen somebody get treatment for cramp and then lose the game. Let me have a look at Twitter and get the exact words. Djokovic's a break-up in the third because Carl's forfeited a game of receiving medical time out for cramp, not a change of ends medical time out, which you're allowed to have a medical treatment at the change of ends, but it wasn't change of ends. It was one one. As Elkres hits a winner, 15 all. Boost in the crowd because they don't know the rules. Okay, well, that's all right. We know the rules now. Thank you, chat, for helping us out. So what just happened? That's the recap. Djokovic held one one. Elkres cramping. You're not allowed to get medical time out for cramp. You can get treatment at the change of ends, but you're not allowed to get a medical time out. Elkres said, I'll forfeit the next game, which unfortunately was his serve. And I will, because I can't play with a cramp. And Djokovic got the break via forfeited game because of the retirement from the, sorry, because of the cramp medical time out. Does that make sense? We all know what's happening. So Djokovic got the break. 30, 15, but Elkres cannot, he's not running now. I mean, this is, and what did I say, chat? As we're just served on T, 30, 15, and we're on the halfway through. I mean, we're not even halfway through, 30, 15. Second serve in the back end of Elkres, back end from Djokovic. Elkres came to the net, but Djokovic hit it wide. And Elkres is trying to shorten the points up very quickly. He might get the break back due to the quickness of the match, but bloody hell. And Juan Carlos is like, pace yourself. 30-all, what a wild situation. 30-all, serve down to the back end of Elkres, return goes in, Djokovic to the slice. Elkres, back end, drop shot is good. Djokovic gets in with the drop shot back. It's the first time no one's hit a drop shot of a drop shot, but it's also the first time Elkres hasn't tried to run for a drop shot. 40-30, man. It really sucked the life out of the bloody match now, hasn't it, shout? 40-30, two hours, 36 minutes played. What did they say? What did Andy Roddick say? As Elkres hits a win or a turn, okay? This is gonna be Elkres. And he's like, what the hell was that? He takes your legs, then he takes your soul, and he's taken one of Elkres' legs. I wonder how the Elkres serve will look. That's what's gonna be interesting, because he's gonna have to land. He's just swatting winners back now at this point, because he's just like, he's got no other choice. Just slapping back winners. Deuce, serve at the front of Elkres, Elkres gets at the back of Djokovic, back into Elkres, into the backhand in Olay. As Elkres hits the forehand, again just swatting into the net. God, this sucks. This, this feels like Rafa last year, remember at the start of the year. When he got hurt, it was just like, it feels like Jabir, I mean, it feels like Zverev last year when he played Nadal. Except obviously that was way more horrific. Advantage Djokovic to get the lead, 3-1. As we're gonna see about why the backhand of Elkres, backhand at Djokovic goes down the line, and that's gonna be too good. Elkres ain't running, 3-1 Djokovic in the third. But Elkres can barely move. Now Chat, at the start of the match, I mentioned in Miami. In Miami, he played a three-hour match against him, the longest match he's played all year, Elkres. Maybe not the toughest match, but the longest match, probably both. He cramped at the end of that match. There's not a cramp, I don't think Elkres has a cramping problem. You know, like maybe Draper or Runa sometimes has, but he definitely does cramp when the matches start getting long. He hasn't played over two and a half hours this week. This is the longest match he's played so far this week. Might be the longest match he played all year if he keeps going. But he puts, and I, what did I say? I said it like literally in the last game before he cramped. He puts so much energy into the first set and the second set. He tries to hit ridiculous shots and run for everything and go crazy. And the gas tank. Love 15, or the legs at least. Love 15, a double fault. Elkres serves. A fault, second serve, second serve. Second serve, the back into Djokovic. Back into Elkres, sliced in the net. Love 30. Elkres shaking his head. He's like, I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what to do. In a semi-final of a major, this is just sad. There's nothing he can do. I mean, playing Djokovic on a good day is hard enough. What happened? Elkres just cramped. Like literally one-one, went for a forehand. His leg went, I've had enough. As he serves on this in the back of Djokovic, sliced return. Elkres backhand, goes long, love 40. You're not allowed to have a medical time-out for cramp. And the reason why Djokovic got the break is because Elkres has forfeited the game to get a medical time-out for the cramp, which is not allowed. So he lost the game because he went, he got medical time-out. Has been a serve now for Djokovic's return. As Elkres hits a volley from the baseline, Djokovic puts it away. There's the break for one. Elkres, I don't know how Elkres plays this. I don't know how Elkres is going to play this. Four-one. I don't know how he's going to play this match, because he can't do anything. He can't, he's just completely neutered. All right, they're getting another, he can get treatment during the change of hands, but he's not allowed to have a medical time-out, otherwise more games forfeited. Four-one in the third, Djokovic. So sad. Unbelievable. Unbelievable, no. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. Atlas. Watching TC and listening to you, would you consider a clock on your screen to make it easier to sync? Thank you, Atlas, for the five. I mean, we've got the match time. I don't know if that works. I don't know how that would work though. I mean, that's a hard part. The best way to sync up is kind of like, maybe at the start of like, when they're about to serve, it might help, but I don't know how that would work. Just ten assistant time. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. Anonymous. Thanks for the stream, as this is so sad. This seems to be done sad face. Yeah, now somebody asked in the chat, can cramps work themselves out? Not really. No, not really. I mean, maybe Djokovic, maybe Nadal have played through cramp and come out the other side winning, but it's... I mean, Elkres, look. You take away Elkres' legs. A lot of his shots are stuffed. He can only just stand there and hit winners. And if he can't, if he has to move, he's done. With his legs at the moment. So he can hit winners like that. Massive forehand return, love 15. Yeah, he's cramping. Yeah, it's cramp, it's not an injury cramp. At first it looked like he grabbed his knee. Like the back of his knee, but he grabbed his calf in the replay. You can have pickle juice, but that's going to take time to... Like you kind of, you start cramping, you've got to... And he can't even get the returns. 15-oh, big A, stem T. Like the pickle juice thing, like maybe, but... You've got to... I mean, there's no quick fix for cramp. You've got to stop moving, but he has to keep playing. Like, you know, like... He has to keep playing the match. He can't just like rest for 30 minutes, come back and start again. So, yeah. There's no... If Elkres comes back from this, it'll be one of the most ridiculous... Craziest, craziest physical efforts we've seen since Djokovic's at all. There's a 4-on-4 in rally. Elkres with a 4-on again. He's just slapping four hands. And Djokovic is just defending. Elkres now with a slice on the stretch. But again, Djokovic has him running. Elkres with a slice again. Djokovic backhand is a winner. 30-15. And Djokovic... Look, this is the hardest thing because Djokovic is going to look like the bad guy because this is how you have to play someone like this. I mean, he was so... I mean, Djokovic isn't going to celebrate this. He's not going to pump his fists when he breaks and stuff because he's not stupid. But also, he's not going to look like a nice guy because he's going to make Elkres run. Everyone's going to say, Oh, don't make him run. So what else is he going to do? He wants to win this match. As he serves out wide, the backhand of Elkres, Elkres hits it out, 40-15. You wonder if Elkres is going to play a fourth. But chat, I mean, look. The goats are built different, literally. Elkres might get... He might, look, this is a hard lesson to learn, but he might be built different in a year time. But right now, I mean, these goats are built different. They can play these matches. I mean, this isn't even three hours. I mean, Djokovic has been playing three-and-a-half-hour matches every day. Elkres has been playing two-hour matches and that is a big difference because once the match starts getting a little more physical... And we talked about this yesterday with Sabalenka. It's a totally different situation, but playing tough matches before the big ones helps. Elkres hasn't played a hard match all week. Everyone, he lost a set against Daniel, but that was him sleeping. He hasn't played a hard match all week and Djokovic has. So Elkres hasn't put himself through the five sets, the four sets, any of that. As Djokovic gets that great pick up from the drop shot. And Sabalenka didn't have a tough match until yesterday and look what happened. She fell apart at the end. Whereas Djokovic played Hashinov, put himself through paces, also Fakina was physical. But Elkres hasn't had that, didn't have that. Well, hasn't had that. He might still be, you know, he's still playing. Love 15, serving the four-and-a-half Djokovic, four-and-a-half from Elkres and the four-and-a-half Djokovic. Again, to the forehand of Elkres. Four-and-a-half Djokovic into the back end of Elkres. The back end in the net from Elkres, love 30. Love 30, love 30. There's been another serve here from Elkres. Down to see the back end of Djokovic, back end of Elkres. Is long, love 40. Chance for Djokovic to get a two sets to one lead here. And not because, really not because anyone's playing well, it's just that Elkres is completely incapacitated. Love 40, serving to see the four-and-a-half Djokovic return the net from Nole. And again Elkres just looks like he's got Lego on his shoe. I mean, he is, he is hurt. He is hurting with every shot, 15-40. Served into the back end of Djokovic, return goes in the front of Elkres. Who hits a winner, 30-40. He just slaps a winner. There's a ridiculous, Elkres can still do crazy things even though he's on one leg. 30-40, as Elkres serves out wide, the back end of Djokovic is a let. 30-40, so sad. 30-40, serving out, return from Djokovic, back end of Elkres, the back end of Djokovic, back end of Elkres, again in the back end of Djokovic, in the back end of Elkres, down the line is long, there's the set, six-one, does Elkres continue, let's see. Let's see, he's walking, he's walking very slowly. But he's staying in the match, he's gonna walk to the chair, he's all right, he's gonna stick around, but Djokovic is up two sets of one. By the way, 11,000 in the chat, thank you for that. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already. Bloody hell, I mean, I've got a hell of a lot of people here, thank you for that. Almost 140K as well, we're so close, so appreciate. But yeah, let's do a recap of the whole match. First set, Djokovic got the early break, held onto it, very, very much held onto it, and Elkres was fighting back for that first set, couldn't take it. Second set, as Elkres goes to the bathroom, because he can have a bathroom break, because he hasn't had one yet. I'm the crowd are clapping him off, but he is coming back. Second set, it was pretty much on point, and then Djokovic got hurt, he hurt his arm. Had a medical timeout, Elkres broke back, broke him. Then Djokovic broke back coming from love 40. They're just showing a replay here. Yeah, that was a real nothing, that was, I mean, he did nothing, but hit a forehand and he started cramping, I mean. It came out of nowhere, really. Then Elkres won the set 75 and won one. Elkres started cramping, he had to forfeit a game, because you're not allowed to get a medical timeout for cramp. Cramp is not an injury. Cramp is a nutrition problem and attrition. What is the word, attrition? It's about, it comes down to physical preparation, more so than you getting hurt. So you can't get a medical timeout. If you do, you have to forfeit the game, and he did, he forfeit the game, came back, hasn't looked anywhere near the guy he was in the first two sets, because he's pretty much on one leg. And Djokovic, just like anybody in any situation, you just have to, you just have to keep playing like you playing someone with both legs working, you know? Even if they can't run, you've got to keep making them run. Cruel, you know, it's cruel, but it's a semi-final of a slam. I mean, Djokovic is playing for history. Why is good boy still here? Who's that? Good boy, who's good boy? Me, what are you talking about? Why is he still playing though? I mean, why would he, why would he give up? Zack. The difference is that Djokovic plays through pain. Yeah. Just. Maybe forfeit the next two games to rest for set four. Oh, that's a little late now. I know you've said that at the end of the second, the third, but yeah. Look, Zack, you say that Djokovic plays through pain, but if you recall, Djokovic at 20 years old, he also retired matches, not because of cramp, but because of fatigue. So I mean, someone, and I saw someone said, you know, why is Sinner and Elkiraz and Djokovic, sorry, Elkiraz and Runa suffering from cramp or struggling with an even draper? Why are they all getting these injuries? Well, I said this in the first, almost I think it was like one love in the third set before he had the thing went crazy. The thing about Elkiraz is he puts 100% of effort into the first games of the match. He goes nuts in the first set. He tried to win. I mean, he was going nuts. He was hitting ridiculous shots. He was hitting around the legs shots. He was hitting, you know, running, going nuts, run, run, run, run, run. He used so much energy in that first set and he didn't get the win. He didn't get the first set. So by the time it gets to the third set, his body just said, I had enough. And he hasn't put himself through this enough. He's still new. He's only 20. Sin is the same. Runa is definitely the same. They just don't have the legs yet of the goats. Now somebody said, why does Elkiraz, why does City Passans, wherever, Mehbedev had the legs, they're older. They're more experienced. They've had, they've gone through these long battles with these guys. So they know physically what it takes, but they don't, I don't remember seeing like Mehbedev cramp or City Pass Cramp much, but also they are five years, five to seven years older. So they have had time to prepare their bodies for these kind of matches. Elkiraz has only played Nadal once or twice or three times, three times and Djokovic once. So, and as much as it sucks, this will be a learning experience. He'll probably go to the gym a lot more in the off season, work on different things. Maybe have a different diet plan for the next time he plays this guy or these guys. But yeah, I mean, it's, yeah. Mehbedev has cramped, yeah, I'm not saying Mehbedev hasn't cramped. Mehbedev did cramp in Miami a few years ago, but yeah, also different body types. You look at Runa Sinner and Elkiraz are all 6'1", 6'2". City Pass Mehbedev and it's very over 6'4", 6'6", right? They're taller. So different body types as well, different like, you know, different strengths and weaknesses in terms of- Cramping. Viva! I don't know if the physio is to blame. I mean, I probably knew, oops, sorry. No, no, no, no, oh shit, sorry. Press the wrong button. Yeah, I mean, obviously, right? Tennis. Yeah, I agree. Well, the thing is, Elkiraz has played five-hour matches. He played a five-hour match against Sinner at the US Open last year, but Sinner's not Djokovic. Like, Sinner is very hard to play, but Djokovic is different, different level. Yeah, I mean, again, Claycourt's a brutal, it's so many factors into what, how this might have, he might have just ate something wrong. Goat, goat, goat, goat, goat, goat, goat, goat, goat, goat, goat, goat, goat, goat, goat, goat, goat, Greatest of all times, Mount Goat. Garrett! You are a legend. The match is an airing live here in Cali. Appreciate the play by play and analysis. No worries. Thank you, Garrett, for the 25. Can we get some solutes for Garrett in the chat for the 25? Thank you. Happy to, I'm glad. I'm glad I can be of assistance. Hopefully I'll court it all right. But man, it's just so sad when this kind of stuff happens. It's more sad now because it's exactly like how I thought with Rafa when he was losing at the Australian Open. Like, when Zverev did his ankle, it was instantly over, right? This is not over, but it feels like it's inevitable. Unless Alcrest just took some magic potion and he's going to come out here and start throwing fists. It just feels like we're waiting for the inevitable. And look, I don't think Alcrest is going to withdraw. I think, or retire, I think he will play it out, but it's just going to be hard to watch. It's going to hurt. He's felt too bad. Friendly reminder that Djokovic is almost 40. I think he broke him for the two. Appreciate that. Yes, he is. He sure is. All right, Djokovic just serve. Why not retire? There's no point. I mean, if he retires, he loses. If he plays, he might lose anyway. All right, 15-love. I mean, Runa cramped at the US Open against Djokovic in 2021. And he played the whole final set, even though he didn't play well. He just played it out just for this, just to be like, I don't want to retire a slam. So I don't know. I mean, I don't think Alcrest should retire. 15-all. As Djokovic slices that in the net, 36 is not almost 40. Well, it's closer to 40 than 30. So I think that's what they're getting at. 15-all. Djokovic has a two sets of one lead. Let's see if Alcrest's legs can recharge. Seconds, the first step goes to the front of Alcrest. Back in at Djokovic is out, man. No light being generous, 15-30. I mean, look, adrenaline is a crazy thing. Can make people lift cars. Wait, is that thing? Alcrest gets a little adrenaline. He might forget about the legs. 15-30. Djokovic serves. Into the front of Alcrest, the turn goes long. Djokovic's too good. 30-all. Serves too big, too strong. 30-all. Is it cramp or an injury? It's cramp. It's just cramp. When I say just, it's, I mean, not nothing, but it's cramp. 30-all. First serve is a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Second serve, Djokovic. Into the back end of Alcrest. The turn goes in the back end of Nole. Back end of Alcrest on the stretch. As Djokovic hits the back end. Again, into the back end of Alcrest. Into the back end of Djokovic. In the net from Nole. Now if you hit the ball to Alcrest, he doesn't have to run. So we can still hit shots, 30-40. By the way, we do have a rude versus verve after this. How are we gonna call that match? After this match. I'm not ready, Chad. This feels like it should be the second match of the day and I can go to bed after this, but don't you worry. We've gots verve versus rude after this. Straight after this. All right, Djokovic serves. Break point as he serves an ace down the tee. Big ace down the tee. Deuce. And again, we've got 10,000 people in the house. Thank you. We're almost at 3,000 likes as well. We're only a couple of hundred away, so thank you for that as well. You guys are legends. Can we get to 3,000 likes by the end of this match? That'd be pretty sick. One of the biggest streams of the year. Second biggest, I think, behind the Australian Open final perhaps. Thank you so much, guys. You guys are, thanks for the support. All right, Deuce. Back into Alcrest, the backhand of Djokovic. Alcrest back in again. To the backhand of Djokovic, but Alcrest has hit it long, just and no lays like it's out. All the crowds didn't appreciate it. Djokovic has got to be careful because the crowd know that Alcrest has hurt and they're going to sympathize with him. Djokovic was a little bit just, you're winning, you're playing an injured guy, just maybe not aggressively show where the mark is. You know, the crowd's a little bit, going to be a little bit testy. Advantage. Djokovic, they get the first game and the fourth good serve. The return goes in, backhand of Djokovic. In the backhand of Alcrest, the forehand of Djokovic. For now, Alcrest, drop shot is too good. This is going to be our biggest TV run. He's still got shots. He just doesn't have legs. Back to Deuce. We're back at Deuce. I mean, you can still do that. You don't have to run too much to get, I mean, Djokovic doesn't make you run. Why not? Back to Deuce. Another serve coming up here for Nole. Tricky first game here as he serves down the tier fault. The crowd want Alcrest to fight back, obviously, because they want to see more tennis like we all do, but let's see. Let's see. Serve to the forehand of Alcrest, forehand of Djokovic. Into the forehand of Alcrest, the backhand of Nole, drop shot in the net from Nole. Oh no. Djokovic playing a little too casual. Advantage, Alcrest. Alcrest a break in the first game of the fourth. Microphone's breaking up. What's up? It should be fine. Should be okay. Hang on, let me check. Hello, hello, hello. Hello, hello. One, two, three, testicles, testicles. One, two, three, test, test, test, test. Okay, it works. All right, backhand return. Goes in the front of Djokovic who hits a swinging volley behind Alcrest. And he pumps a fist, Djokovic, because he knows that Alcrest might be on one leg, but it's still Alcrest. All right. Testing, one, two, three. I said testing. Okay. Back to deuce. Back to deuce. Just refresh. If you refresh, it should be fine. Everything's fine on my end, or at least on my computer. As we're back in now, into the front of Alcrest, back in now from Djokovic on the stretch. Is good, Djokovic. Oh, Alcrest with a slide, drop shot in the net. It would have been a winner too. Advantage, Djokovic. Advantage, Djokovic. Advantage, Nollway, to get the first game of the fourth. Okay. That drop shot would have been a winner too. All right, advantage, Nollway. Serving the backhand in the net from Djokovic, or from Alcrest. And Djokovic, one love in the fourth. A little bit of a shout as well, because he realizes, okay, you might be hurt, but I'm still going to try and beat you. Now, back to his serve, Alcrest, because serving, Alcrest is a serve. That could be a potential problem. Let's see how he looks on the serve. A Djokovic tough first game. Very tough first game. And a big shout as well. One's in the chat. If you think Djokovic is going to win, two of you think Alcrest. One for Djokovic, two for Alcrest. Are we going to see a miracle, or is Nollway going to take it? One for Djokovic, two for Alcrest. A lot of ones. Some twos, some holding hope. Some are holding hope. Serve is a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Into the back of Djokovic. Four now Alcrest on the stretch. Goes into the front of Djokovic. Alcrest with the backhand, but Djokovic hits it out. Djokovic hits it out. 15 love. Alcrest serves again. Now Alcrest can still serve and still hit winners. As he serves. Into the backhand of Djokovic. Return the backhand of Alcrest. Alcrest over hits it. 15 all. 15 all. Three for Nadal, okay. Refrain here, unfortunately. 15 all. Serve again from Alcrest. Out wide to the front of Djokovic. Return goes in from Nollway. What a shot. This is going to be our biggest TV ever. What a shot. 15-30. Okay, 15-30. As we serve again. Down to the front of Djokovic. Return goes in the front of Alcrest. Who hits it in the net. 15-40. Break points Nollway. Now one in the chat, if you think Alcrest is going to play the match out, two if you think Djokovic is going to retire. One for stay, two for retire. What do you reckon he's going to do? I feel like he's going to play out the set, but it won't be pretty. 15-40. Alcrest serves the backhand of Djokovic a fault. Second serve. One for stay, two for retire. What do you reckon he's going to do? Second serve in the backhand of Djokovic. Backhand of Alcrest goes in the net. Two loves, Djokovic breaks. Two love. A lot of people going with one. A lot of people think he's going to stay. He won't retire. I don't think you'll retire. I don't think you will. Not a slam semi. He'd rather go out. Six love, I think, in the fourth. But man, literally a one-one in the third is when it happened. He hasn't won a game since. Eight games in a row for Djokovic. Oh, sorry, nine games in a row if you count that one-one game. He's got a backhand of return, now the backhand of Djokovic. No way he's another winner. 15 love, 15 love. He must stay. Yeah. I don't think he'll retire. It's a grand slam semi. I mean, 15 love. Serving the backhand of Alcrest. Backhand from Djokovic is a winner. Alcrest doesn't run for it. 30 love, 30 love. Another serve coming up. Djokovic's trying to get to three love. He's won nine games in a row since the cramp. As we've served now, down the tier, fault from Djokovic. Second serve. Who does Djokovic want to play in the final out of the next match, guys? What do you reckon? Who would he rather play? Root or Zverev? I can guess. A bit of a return now from Alcrest. Foynac Djokovic is down the middle. Into the backhand of Alcrest. Backhand at Djokovic goes down the line. Alcrest with a slice. Into the Foynac Djokovic. Alcrest with a slice again. Into the Foynac Djokovic who hits it wide. Oh, too casual. 30, 15. He wants Root. Yeah. I feel that. I don't think he wants, yeah, he might not be worried about Sasha, but I don't think he wants to play Sasha. 30, 15. A very sad ending to this match. Very disappointing. It's not like anyone's fault. It happens. Serving the backhand of Alcrest. Backhand out from Djokovic. Drop shot. Alcrest gets there. As Djokovic hits the lob. Alcrest hit the smash in the net. Just can't get up to the smash. 40, 15. 40, 15. 40, 15 to take the three love lead. In the fourth. 40, 15. As we know the serve from Djokovic. Into the Foynac Djokovic, backhand out Alcrest. Is good. Djokovic slices it back. Into the Foynac Djokovic. The backhand of Djokovic. Again, the Foynac Djokovic who hits it in the net. Three love Djokovic. Alcrest is walking back to the chair. Djokovic, little shake of the racket. Alcrest looking around, but he's going to keep going. Again, we've got 10,000 people in the chat. Thank you so much for being here. I know it's a little flat the last two sets because of course, nobody, we don't want this way. We don't want to end this way. We were just starting to get excited by that third set. Just starting, but hey, it happens. It happens. And the first two sets were everything we expected. So at least we got that chat. At least we got the first two sets. But again, thank you so much. Biggest stream of the tournament, as I mentioned. Second biggest stream of the year. So I appreciate that. Appreciate all the support. RG Curse on the semi-final curse. Yeah, I mean, it's very injured last year and then this. Yeah, it's rough. I can't even understand why Carlos plays after that injury. What's the thing? It's not an injury. He's got cramp. You can play through cramp. And I think it's more of a pride thing for Elkraz. I think he's playing through this not because he feels better, but because he doesn't want to retire a slam semi. It's more about pride. So he's fighting through. Djokovic has won 29 of the last 40 points and he's won the last 10 games in a row. It's the cramping fold, exactly, yeah. It's the cramping fold. I mean, there's nothing you can... I mean, it happens, right? It happens. I mean, freak things happen. We saw a last year freak accident with Zverev. And now we're seeing Elkraz just incapacitated by cramps. As he serves out, why the four of Djokovic's return goes in. Elkraz forehand is in the net. Man, he doesn't miss the... I mean, he should have with that winner. That was just a bad error. That was just a bad error. Love 15, as Elkraz serves. A fault. Second serve. Second serve. We still have another match, though, chat. So stay excited. We've still got another match. Back at return from Djokovic in the form of Elkraz. That's a... Into the form of Djokovic. Nola hits it out. 15-all. We still have another match. Yay. 15-all. 15-all as Elkraz serves again. Serve is good. The return of the form of Elkraz back in at Djokovic. Is down the line. That's a good shot. That was nice in the net from Elkraz. 15-30. 15-30. Another serve coming up here for Elkraz. Chance for double break here for Djokovic. Serve at wide as a fault. Second serve. Second serve. The double fault. Got my salt in there. Got my salt in there. Double fault. 15-40. And look, it might be a sad ending to this match because we're not getting the match, you know, the finale to this match. But to be honest, I mean, the physical warfare between the two, it's, Elkraz, Djokovic won the battle. Four-love, he gets a double break. It might be like, oh, how unlucky, how unfortunate, but this is what makes Djokovic and Dal great. This is what makes them different because they can play like long, long grueling matches. And Elkraz can. He can. We've seen him do it. But he can't today, unfortunately. We've seen him play five-hour matches without any problem. Well, he won the match for five hours. So this is what makes Djokovic and Nadal different to these other guys. Especially when it was like, I mean, the timing of things was really unfortunate, but still they're beasts, they're built different. And Elkraz needs to get, I don't know what he needs to do, but he needs to do something different in the lead-up to these matches because whatever he ate, whatever he, however he played before this or trained or whatever, different approach next time because this isn't, it can't happen. You can't have this happen to yourselves, to yourself. He's only 20, I mean, obviously still super young too, so he's got time, but it is a shame. Love 15, good shot from Elkraz though on the stretch. As Djokovic serves an ace down the tee. And a bit of a shout as well. And the crowd are booing. The crowd are booing because Djokovic is celebrating, winning a point against an injured guy. The crowd are gonna boo. Is it bad? Look, who can blame Djokovic? He's a semi-final of the slam. He's still playing a guy. It's not like Elkraz is, you know, on crutches. He's still there. And after the first two sets of tension, I mean, Djokovic is like, shit, I'm not gonna let up here because I don't want this guy to come back to miraculously come back. There's been a four-on-four-on rally again from Elkraz and the four-on-on of Djokovic. Great shot, Djokovic. Drop shot from Elkraz. It's a good pickup from Djokovic. Elkraz down the line. That's why he's shouting Djokovic because that can happen. 15-30. This is why Djokovic is still being aggressive because it's like, this guy's still on the other side of the net. I don't care if he's got one leg or two. He's still there. Because he can still do that Elkraz and that's scary. 15-30. As Djokovic serves, three hours, 15 minutes is the longest match Elkraz played this year. As Djokovic serves, another ace down the tee, 30-all. And he's getting the free points because Elkraz can't move, but he's getting the aces though. He needs them after the rally. I mean, when the rally starts, Elkraz still on one leg is winning points. 30-all. Djokovic serves. A fault. Second serve. He's two games away, no late from another French open final. Second serve to the back end of Elkraz. Good return. Elkraz will be out with the backhand volley. Oh, he's out. He almost hit a chat. He almost hit it. And Djokovic again, trying to celebrate, trying to keep himself pumped up. The crowds don't understand. But Djokovic is like, still under pressure. He still feels the pressure. 40-30. Another serve from Noelle. Out wide, the back end of Elkraz. Back end of Djokovic, down the line. He's out. And we get the deuce. City pass versus one-legged Elkraz, who would win? Probably Elkraz. I mean, Elkraz is almost taking games off Djokovic at this point with a one leg, which is kind of nuts. All right, deuce again. Okay, thanks for joining us. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already. Djokovic serves again. Out wide, the front of Elkraz, who hits it wide. Advantage Djokovic, who again, shouting. He's shouting after every point, because he knows it's still a match. It's still live. It's still tense. Beware the wounded animal. Exactly, Steven. Djokovic knows. He ain't gonna rely on Elkraz just fading away into the distance. He doesn't wanna let Elkraz get back in this. Serve at wide. Isn't Ace bang? All right, Djokovic holds game. Five-love in the fourth. He's one game away from the final. Now chat. Our friend over at Quality Shot, Farzin is over there. We're gonna say hi. Jump over and say hi to Farzin. Link in the chat. He is currently live watching this match as well, so feel free to go over there. A few of you already are. So go over there and say hi. Feel free to give him some love. Donations, if you wanna donate to him, you can, he's a hard-working man, so show the man some love. But jump over to Farzin, say hi to him. We're sticking around, we've still got another game, but jump over there, say hi to him. Tell him we sent ya. Tell him we sent ya. I put it in the chat, it's flying off the screen. Tell him we sent ya. But we're gonna get Farzin on before the match, but unfortunately time, the schedule didn't work. But go over there, if you love tennis, you'll be able to say hi to Farzin as well. And I'll recommend you subscribe to him as well. He's a good man. Okay, now, five love, Djokovic in the fourth. How am I feeling? Ah, a little deflated, I think we all are, right? I think we're all feeling a little flat after what's happened in the last hour. But hey, Djokovic is gonna play for 23 slams tomorrow, on Sunday, so that's gonna be historic. So this might've been the biggest match of the year so far, but biggest match of the history of tennis might be coming up next with historical significance. Okay, here we go. Alkraz serving to stay in the match for Djokovic hits a volley, love 15. Three points away from the final, love 15. Serve out wide the back of Djokovic, slice from Alkraz is good. Djokovic backhand down the line is good. Alkraz gets it with the forehand, okay. And then Djokovic in the net, Alkraz still slapping shots. Still slapping shots around, 15 all, 15 all. Not the serve coming up. Now why the form of Djokovic back in at Alkraz, the backhand slice of Djokovic, drop shot's good. Alkraz gets it with the drop shot back. Djokovic gets it with the pass, Alkraz puts it away. 30-15, nice hustle from Alkraz again, 30-15. Can Djokovic win the calendar slam, he's the only one who can. 30-15, there's another serve here from Alkraz, into the slice of Djokovic, return goes in, for Alkraz down the line, Djokovic gets it right. But hits it long, 40-15. Alkraz to avoid a bagel in this semi and chat, you know what, we're lucky that Djokovic isn't on the verge of retirement at this stage and that Alkraz is just getting started because we might get another match like this. We might get a match like this on a hard court. In America, so stay tuned, this isn't the one and done as that goes out from Alkraz, 40-30. We might still get, and hopefully Alkraz can figure out this problem if it is a one, I mean, it's only been a problem today, but let's hope you can figure it out next time they play because this might not be the last time we see these guys play, especially a slam. Serving the back of Djokovic, return goes into the four, no, it's out from Djokovic, all right. Alkraz on the board, I don't know if Wimbledon, I mean Wimbledon, Alkraz at Wimbledon, I don't know if that will work, but I'd rather see it on a hard court because if cramping didn't happen, the way Alkraz played in the second set, it felt like the third set he might have run, but the hard courts, I wanna see them play on a hard court, I've seen them play twice on Clay, I wanna see a hard court battle and I wanna see it at the US Open or at the Australian Open, one or the other. All right, Djokovic serving for the match and serving for a spot in the final of Roland Garros. Djokovic serves out wide to the front of Alkraz, Alkraz hits it into, oh, out, 15 love. And again, thanks for joining us, we have so many new people in the house, really do appreciate all the love that everybody's showing. We're almost at 140K, which is ridiculous, so thank you for that. And unfortunately, we didn't get the finale that we wanted, but man, those first two sets, those first two sets were so intense, 30 love. Let's hope Alkraz can get those legs working for the next time they play, because they'll play again, they'll play again. I wouldn't say there's an asterisk next to this, but there's definitely, this is not the, we'll get, we want five sets of this, of those first two sets, we want five of those. And we might get on a hard court, maybe Australia, maybe New York, let's see, match point, Djokovic, to take his spot in the final. 40 love, again, don't forget to subscribe on the way out if you are leaving after this. Final on Sunday, has been a serve no late, down the tee, that's a great serve, return goes in, 49 Djokovic is good, Alkraz gives the forehand on the stretch, Djokovic down the line, back in Alkraz to the backhand of Djokovic, Alkraz with the forehand down the line, winner, whoa. This is gonna be on Venice TV, bro. What a winner from Alkraz, 40, 15. He's got some life in him yet, 40, 15. Another serve for Djokovic, another match point for Djokovic, 40, 5th, another serve, another serve for no late. He serves, a let, another serve, 40, 15, match point. The rude versus variable coming up straight after this. Serve down to the backhand of Alkraz, return goes in, Djokovic backhand, again to the backhand of Alkraz, Djokovic with the stretch, Alkraz, forehand cross caught in the net, Novak Djokovic survives, and he's made the final. Disappointing in the end because of Carlos's legs fallen apart, but man, that's what makes Djokovic different, that's what makes him different. Ander and Nadal and all those goats, GGs, sad GG, but Novak Djokovic in the final, Alkraz is not quite physically there yet at a slam because we know that no slam, no lays different. He's a lot different, physically different too. Okay, six, three, five, seven, six, one, six, one, but man, Alkraz put on a show, those first two sets, bloody hell, that was scary for Djokovic. The first set he just got in the end, second set, Alkraz was going nuts. In the third set, if Alkraz hadn't got sore, that could have been real scary for Djokovic there. By the way, thank you again. If you are leaving, don't forget to subscribe. We do have the next one between Rude and Zverev, which is, I don't know what that is. I don't know what to, I think that will be five sets, but I don't know what to think of it really. I mean, everyone was focusing so hard on this one that we forgot about the next one, which could be better. I mean, score wise, it probably will be better because it'll probably be, hopefully, a physically full match with both guys playing to the end. So it could be better. Maybe the quality of the first two sets might not match, but we might get a five setter. So that's all fun. 23 loading, yep. Yep, yep, yep. This match was, what, four hours, three and a half hours? Three hours 24, this match. Three hours and 24 minutes. Again, thank you so much. If you are leaving, don't forget to subscribe on the way out. We did have like 12,000 people at one point, so you guys are crazy. Incredible, biggest match of the year. Biggest match of the year, bigger than the show in the final. Zverev over Djokovic in four sets, you reckon, in the final. Well, it's got to get there, Zverev. I mean, Root's no pushover. Root is not a pushover. Bravo, Novak, yep. Physically, just physical. I mean, it's just a different beast, you know? Physical beast, you know? It's not too bad. Djokovic Alkaras at Wimbledon would be big. That would be massive. I don't know if it'd be, I don't know if it'd be as competitive because Djokovic would be able to get some more, some easier shots off because of the pace, but I'd love to see him on a hard court. We haven't, even just, give me Canada. Djokovic, Alkaras, Canada. You know, I don't even need to see the U.S. open. I just want to see them on a hard court. If Djokovic, like Djokovic beats him on clay, Alkaras beat him the first time. Clay courts are pretty even for them. On a hard court, that's Djokovic's house. I want to see what Alkaras can do on Djokovic on a hard court. Okay, I'm going to send you over the next one because of what Root versus Vera have. Man, I'm excited for this one. Hopefully, hopefully it can live up to that hype. It's a little less hyped, a little under the radar, but hopefully we can get something crazy or similar like that. But jump over there, talk amongst yourselves for a little bit. I'm going to go grab a tea because we've been live for five hours straight, but there you go. Jump over there. You might get chucked over there by yourself, if not, hopefully. Okay, Novak Djokovic into the final, six, three, five, seven, six, one, six, one. Cramps were the villain in this one. Cramping of Alkaras after the second set, start of the third, the cramps were the difference. Yeah, Djokovic won easily in the end, but I mean, yeah, one-one, that's where the match was really won and lost at one-one in the third, unfortunately. But hey, Djokovic ain't going nowhere yet. And he shows again that it might, you might be able to get me in Madrid, but this is a grand slam. Grand slam, no way it's different. He drags matches out longer. He makes it harder for you to play. And there's something to think about from Alkaras's point of view. He's got to kind of think about why, why did this happen? Why is he, why did he cramp? And figure that out quick because Wimbledon's coming up next for him. But Djokovic in four into the final. Who's he playing? We'll find out next.
