Speaker 2: spectacle of the Australian Opening, what we're bringing to it.

2:26

2:28
Speaker 2: B rating from the chopper, vibrating from something else.
2:31
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, as always, our sponsor is Piper
2:35
Speaker 1: Hide sick. Guzzle it up, your thirsty jerks. Ah, you're
2:41
Speaker 1: not fully sick unless you're piper Hide sick. We're just
2:51
Speaker 1: excited to the adrenaline is still going. I stayed up
2:54
Speaker 1: watched the second man semi final, so I didn't get
2:58
Speaker 1: to bed until about three am.
3:00
Speaker 2: It's crazy, It's crazy. It was fully sick. Yesterday we
3:03
Speaker 2: went to piper Heads. It was fully piper hype. We
3:06
Speaker 2: went to watch what can only be described I think
3:09
Speaker 2: I'm not exaggerating here, one of the greatest sporting events
3:12
Speaker 2: that I've witnessed live like that. Five said. It was
3:15
Speaker 2: exhausting at the end, Like I felt like everyone was
3:18
Speaker 2: like we.
3:19
Speaker 1: Were cramping up.
3:20
Speaker 2: We were cramping just watching it. I called the video
3:23
Speaker 2: to look at my groin as well.
3:24
Speaker 1: I was like, get up here, that's prime growing time.
3:28
Speaker 1: We should say. You're talking, of course about the first time.
3:31
Speaker 1: The Alkorazverev match, absolute epic. It's the tournament is back.
3:38
Speaker 2: I mean, we talked about it yesterday. It was like,
3:40
Speaker 2: would you, in like a hypothetical world, would you trade
3:43
Speaker 2: some dull matches for some absolute historical kind of events
3:48
Speaker 2: that will be talked about for years to come. And
3:50
Speaker 2: I can say yes is the answer that was all
3:53
Speaker 2: worth it?
3:54
Speaker 1: Like what to day. I know we were there at
3:56
Speaker 1: the Alcorazverev match where we have we were Oh my god,
4:01
Speaker 1: I have to say that it was looking like it
4:06
Speaker 1: was going to five sets. Yes, Sam Tong and I
4:10
Speaker 1: sitting in primo media seeds.
4:11
Speaker 2: It's crazy how good the media seeds. I've been joking
4:14
Speaker 2: this week, being like can I get tickets? Just turns
4:16
Speaker 2: out I can get tickets for you, for me, just
4:19
Speaker 2: for me.
4:20
Speaker 1: Yes.
4:20
Speaker 2: But they're like as good as it gets in the
4:22
Speaker 2: media section. There is one catch though, you can't really
4:26
Speaker 2: show crazy amounts of emotion.
4:27
Speaker 1: You're meant to be impartial, unbiased.
4:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're surrounded by people with like laptops tweeting to
4:32
Speaker 2: world feeds in languages we don't understand. Yeah, and it's hard.
4:35
Speaker 2: It is really hard to hold it in.
4:37
Speaker 1: Oh when we did not No, we're high five and
4:42
Speaker 1: we're jumping around.
4:43
Speaker 2: It's crazy of there.
4:44
Speaker 1: It was like the most roller coaster of a match
4:48
Speaker 1: I think I've ever well.
4:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so different to some of those other five
4:51
Speaker 2: said epics, even the Sinner Novak match potentially, where it's
4:55
Speaker 2: like you can kind of get a grip on what's
4:57
Speaker 2: going on. But there were points in that first semi
5:01
Speaker 2: final where I was like, I truly don't know what's
5:03
Speaker 2: going on right now. Carlos wasn't running. It's like, is
5:06
Speaker 2: he is he tanking on purpose? Is he just kind
5:09
Speaker 2: of being like part of me thinks he was like,
5:11
Speaker 2: I'll just lose the next two sets, let myself recover,
5:14
Speaker 2: and then I'm going to try to take it in
5:15
Speaker 2: the fifth. It was hard to know what was going on. Yeah,
5:18
Speaker 2: I mean the momentum shift as well, like all of
5:21
Speaker 2: a sudden, they're playing the best tennis you've ever seen,
5:22
Speaker 2: and then it's just horrific tennis. In points.
5:25
Speaker 1: Well, it was a beguiling match.
5:27
Speaker 2: Beguiling I don't know what that would mean. But you've
5:30
Speaker 2: never been beguiled, not really, no, is it? I think
5:34
Speaker 2: you were beguiled yesterday I was beguiling.
5:36
Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot to talk about here.
5:38
Speaker 5: Yeah.
5:38
Speaker 1: I was going to say the most beguiling thing for
5:41
Speaker 1: me of the day was that when you leaned over
5:44
Speaker 1: to me during the four set and you said, if
5:46
Speaker 1: this goes to five, I think I got a bounce
5:48
Speaker 1: because I got to go have dinner with my girlfriend.
5:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I said it more like this, I said,
5:53
Speaker 2: with my girl friend. My girlfriend. No, so I because
6:01
Speaker 2: of Kalitos taking quite a lot of time really winding
6:05
Speaker 2: down that clock before every serve. You know, we were
6:08
Speaker 2: looking there was some time spent. I'm just a man
6:11
Speaker 2: here trying to organize my day scheduling. I hadn't really
6:14
Speaker 2: spoken to my partner, and then I was looking at
6:16
Speaker 2: the time and I'm like, I guess I got to go.
6:18
Speaker 2: I kind of thought he might win the fourth. And
6:20
Speaker 2: then as soon as you said are you you were like,
6:23
Speaker 2: what the You started swearing at me and you were
6:26
Speaker 2: like the other journalists looked around. They were like, God,
6:28
Speaker 2: who do these guys work for? They're not very professional,
6:30
Speaker 2: and you're like.
6:30
Speaker 1: Well, someone literally asked us, who do you work for?
6:33
Speaker 6: Oh?
6:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll get to that, but I want
6:35
Speaker 1: you to justify.
6:36
Speaker 2: Just as soon as you said it was like one
6:38
Speaker 2: of those moments of clarity that people not an epiphany,
6:42
Speaker 2: but it was close to it. When you were like,
6:43
Speaker 2: we're watching a semi final of a Grand Slam that's
6:46
Speaker 2: about to go to five sets between two of the
6:49
Speaker 2: best play Potentially we're looking at one of the all
6:51
Speaker 2: time grades as well. We don't know where he's going
6:52
Speaker 2: to get to and you've got to go to dinner
6:55
Speaker 2: with your girl with your girl friend. And then I
6:58
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, Yeah, what the hell are
7:00
Speaker 2: you talking about?
7:00
Speaker 1: The girlfriend who you live with, who you see every day,
7:03
Speaker 1: So a meal with her is just come on, it's
7:05
Speaker 1: going to be boring.
7:06
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I texted her and I'm like, I'm staying
7:08
Speaker 2: for the fifth and she was like, of course, absolutely.
7:10
Speaker 2: She was like, we're not going to dinner. She wasn't
7:12
Speaker 2: in any like. She wasn't. We were going to meet
7:15
Speaker 2: at a restaurant. She wasn't. She was like, no, I'm
7:16
Speaker 2: at home, you're watching the tenant. She I don't know
7:19
Speaker 2: where I was. Maybe my I was having growing issues
7:22
Speaker 2: as well. I needed as well. But it was a
7:25
Speaker 2: one little lap. But you know what it's like out there,
7:27
Speaker 2: Like we were in those seats for four hours and
7:30
Speaker 2: you kind of yeah, we were working, you know, there
7:34
Speaker 2: was a bit of work. We have to work. It's
7:36
Speaker 2: crazy have.
7:38
Speaker 1: We we're writing a song a day.
7:44
Speaker 2: I mean you, I'm not putting a lot of work
7:46
Speaker 2: into the song. It's mainly you.
7:47
Speaker 1: It told me thank you. I wanted I was just
7:49
Speaker 1: wanted that credit. But you know, you go, you do
7:53
Speaker 1: the long then it's time.
7:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, then it's me. No, then it's errol ates man
7:57
Speaker 2: as well. You go a bit loopy, you go a
7:59
Speaker 2: bit lou It's.
8:00
Speaker 1: So hard to sit out there and enjoy tennis with
8:03
Speaker 1: one of your good friends, isn't.
8:04
Speaker 2: It in some of the best seats of the world,
8:06
Speaker 2: because it's like where the media seeds are. I don't know,
8:09
Speaker 2: all around us. The only way I can describe the
8:12
Speaker 2: majority of the people around us. It's not all of them,
8:14
Speaker 2: but are like older white people, a lot of the
8:18
Speaker 2: people are, which suggests to us the ticket price for
8:20
Speaker 2: the tickets around where the media seats are very expensive.
8:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, very expensive, very expensive.
8:26
Speaker 2: So you've got to say we're lucky ducks.
8:28
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I'm glad that you have some appreciation and
8:32
Speaker 1: gratitude because I say, because it was just the I
8:36
Speaker 1: was so insulted at the thought of you going that
8:39
Speaker 1: like then throughout the fifth set, whenever there is you're.
8:42
Speaker 2: Still getting annoyed. Yes, you do. Turn to me being
8:46
Speaker 2: like you're then trying to think of like fun little
8:48

9:01
Speaker 2: to worry about your little clever food that you can
9:04
Speaker 2: cutting in your head.
9:05
Speaker 1: Swinning over going. You could be having corn on the car, yeah,
9:08
Speaker 1: and hearing about your girlfriend's day.
9:10
Speaker 5: Yeah.
9:10
Speaker 2: But that's when I like, I snapped at that. I
9:12
Speaker 2: was like, is if we get corn on the cob?
9:14
Speaker 2: Actually made me insane? Like you think I'm going to
9:16
Speaker 2: eat corn on the cob on a Friday night?
9:19
Speaker 1: Who knows your decision making is.
9:21
Speaker 2: It was all off. It was all off. To be fair,
9:23
Speaker 2: it was all off. But I'm so glad. I stated
9:27
Speaker 2: it was one of the great experiences at that The
9:30
Speaker 2: The final point was it was like an experience I've
9:34
Speaker 2: never had it a sporting event. Just everyone stood up.
9:38
Speaker 2: The media section stood up and just like.
9:40
Speaker 1: Applauded flying and the yeah yeah people were thrown their
9:44
Speaker 1: laptops like it was the graduation hat.

9:50
Speaker 2: of us.
9:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get into the weeds of the match in
9:53
Speaker 1: a second.
9:54
Speaker 2: How are we going to do this, because I feel
9:55
Speaker 2: like we've come in so excited, just being like.
9:58
Speaker 1: But this is what the people want, this is what
10:03
Speaker 1: people want.
10:03
Speaker 3: What people want.
10:06
Speaker 1: There was a lady sitting in front of us, obviously
10:09
Speaker 1: in paid top dollar, paid to and she was said
10:11
Speaker 1: she was having a good time.
10:12
Speaker 2: She was having a great time.
10:14
Speaker 1: But at one point she turned around to us, looked
10:17
Speaker 1: at our media seats and badges and said, who do
10:20
Speaker 1: you guys work for?
10:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, and not like impressed, not like, oh my god,
10:24
Speaker 2: who do you guys work for?

10:32
Speaker 1: She said?
10:32
Speaker 5: Is it?
10:33
Speaker 1: She goes it can't be anything serious? Yeah, and then
10:36
Speaker 1: she was I think. I was like, oh, yeah, like
10:38
Speaker 1: the Tudor Advocates.
10:39
Speaker 2: Which is like a satirical newspaper. It's like the Onion
10:43
Speaker 2: or something. I said Nickelodeon. I wanted her to think
10:45
Speaker 2: we were like kids TV hosts or something that it
10:48
Speaker 2: just stumbled our way in. Well, she was. She also
10:51
Speaker 2: did something incredibly annoying. I don't know if you've ever
10:55
Speaker 2: had this before. She had quite long, flowing hair, quite
10:58
Speaker 2: nice hair.
10:58
Speaker 1: Really this is creepy.
10:59
Speaker 2: Now, Well, no, I'm just saying, like, I'm sure she
11:01
Speaker 2: was proud of her hair. But yeah, I mean, fair
11:05
Speaker 2: to take chowed Violet. But she would like, let this
11:12
Speaker 2: is actually so annoying. She would like, she's in the
11:14
Speaker 2: seat in front of me, her long hair, she would
11:16
Speaker 2: have she had it out the back, over the back
11:19
Speaker 2: of her seat, so it's just on my knees at
11:21
Speaker 2: all time. I'm like squirming around trying to get the
11:24
Speaker 2: hair off me. You were in little shorts, so it
11:26
Speaker 2: was tiny shorts. It's like there was more. There was
11:29
Speaker 2: so much hair on me. It looked like I had
11:31
Speaker 2: a small dog on my lap. That's how much hair
11:33
Speaker 2: was just flowing all. She did apologize one and then,
11:35
Speaker 2: but then the apology was like it's she was apologizing
11:39
Speaker 2: for the rest of the match. That's what it seemed like,
11:41
Speaker 2: because then there was hair everywhere.
11:42
Speaker 1: Oh, the apology then she thought, gave her like.
11:45
Speaker 2: Free rein to let the hair go everywhere.
11:48
Speaker 5: Yeah.
11:48
Speaker 2: Also, we're halfway through the fifth set, she's been very vocal.
11:52
Speaker 2: She's standing up. I don't know who she's going for.
11:54
Speaker 2: She's cheering points for everyone, cheering, going crazy. Halfway through
11:57
Speaker 2: the full set, just gets I'm like, look looking at her,
12:00
Speaker 2: she gets TikTok. I've just starts having a scroll.
12:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she was. I don't know if you saw it,
12:05
Speaker 1: because I kept. You know when someone's sitting in front
12:06
Speaker 1: of you and you start looking at everything they're looking at.
12:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:10
Speaker 1: She was watching highlights from the Medvedev Nadol match great
12:15
Speaker 1: final from which is an awesome match. Yeah, but this
12:19
Speaker 1: match is written for us, like we're looking at another
12:21
Speaker 1: all time grace.
12:22
Speaker 7: Yeah.
12:22
Speaker 2: People need to stay in the present. A guy she
12:24
Speaker 2: was with two seats down, he was He had an
12:27
Speaker 2: ear piece in and I think he was listening to commentary.
12:30
Speaker 2: He was doing what I can only describe as one
12:32
Speaker 2: of the most annoying traits.
12:32
Speaker 1: He would do it.
12:35
Speaker 2: Okay, no wonder. He had that horrible look on his face.
12:40
Speaker 2: He had his fifth clenched a few times. He was clenchy,
12:44
Speaker 2: but every time a ball would go out he would
12:46
Speaker 2: just yell out. It's like, brother, we've got umpires out there,
12:51
Speaker 2: We've got the good folk there at Chubb doing close calls,
12:53
Speaker 2: like close calls like we don't need him to go.
12:56
Speaker 1: Out yeah let well no, no, no, he I mean again,
13:01
Speaker 1: emotion overcoming everybody. He hated alert.
13:06
Speaker 2: He did hate at more than do you think he
13:09
Speaker 2: didn't know what a let was? I think because he
13:12
Speaker 2: would be like he would actually make that noise and
13:15
Speaker 2: then like hold his face on a first serve flet.
13:21
Speaker 1: It got it well, I mean speaking on the serves,
13:23
Speaker 1: it got hard for observe if you missed a first serve.
13:26
Speaker 1: People were so on Alcoraz's side. There was one guy
13:29
Speaker 1: that kept going.
13:30
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and couldn't hold it in, and it would
13:33
Speaker 2: get so much laughter from the crowd because it felt
13:36
Speaker 2: so real and you could feel like, I don't know
13:39
Speaker 2: what the crowd split was, maybe eighty twenty outcrowds, maybe
13:42
Speaker 2: more even I don't know. It was kind of quite amazing.
13:44
Speaker 2: But he would go yes and you could just feel
13:47
Speaker 2: big everyone to feel like that's what I was thinking too. Yes, Yes,
13:52
Speaker 2: it was amazing. The Spanish support was something was like
13:55
Speaker 2: it was unbelievable. All these Spanish flags, people, people, and
13:58
Speaker 2: they kind of, I feel like, started getting him pumped up.
14:01
Speaker 2: He was just standing there like fist clenched. Alcaraz, this
14:04
Speaker 2: is looking at the crowd and people would stand up.
14:06
Speaker 2: This is only to hold serve.
14:08
Speaker 3: The time.
14:08
Speaker 1: Man, it was amazing how how liked and likable Alcoraz
14:12
Speaker 1: is that he can hold serve and pump his fists
14:16
Speaker 1: in the air and get the crowd totally behind him.
14:18
Speaker 1: And the other player does that, You're like, what a
14:20
Speaker 1: dick he just held serve.
14:21
Speaker 2: I totally yeah, and that's gotta be Look at times
14:24
Speaker 2: I thought maybe it pumped faever, do you know what
14:26
Speaker 2: I mean? He saw that and he'd be like, I'm
14:28
Speaker 2: gonna show you, because I mean, Alcaraz was in that
14:31
Speaker 2: lower point I think with where his body was and
14:34
Speaker 2: maybe mentally as well, that he was holding serve. Everyone
14:37
Speaker 2: was cheering it and then just getting like destroyed. Then
14:40
Speaker 2: when he was trying to like break back the other way,
14:42
Speaker 2: and it seemed like Parev was maybe feeding on it.
14:44
Speaker 2: But then I think eventually it just wore him as well.
14:47
Speaker 2: His body was breaking down. I think mentally he was
14:49
Speaker 2: just cooked in that last game.
14:50
Speaker 1: Well, you the last set, you could see he was
14:53
Speaker 1: staggering a little bit and he just his legs were gone.
14:56
Speaker 1: I mean it was five and a half hours of tennis.
14:58
Speaker 2: It was so long.
14:58
Speaker 1: When's the last time you did any think for five
15:00
Speaker 1: and a half hours besides sleep?
15:02
Speaker 2: And yeah, cry, yeah, cry, I mean yeah, crying is
15:05
Speaker 2: a bit longer than that, I guess, but yeah, sleep
15:08
Speaker 2: not a great sleeper, to be honest, and not yet
15:10
Speaker 2: so just crying, I guess, just crying.
15:11
Speaker 1: Wow.
15:12
Speaker 2: But yeah, five what was it? Five fourteen? No longer
15:15
Speaker 2: than that? Five twenty seven, five twenty seven. Yeah, yeah,
15:18
Speaker 2: it was long, but it felt right, do you know
15:21
Speaker 2: what I mean? Like the payoff was worth the amount
15:23
Speaker 2: of time. It's fair of with one, I don't know,
15:26
Speaker 2: it would have been interesting to see the dynamic.
15:27
Speaker 1: Just think you could have been having a potato salad.
15:29
Speaker 2: With a potato salad, that's good. Yeah, okay, spinach kish
15:33
Speaker 2: would have been a good option. A funny option as well.
15:35
Speaker 1: I will say with the Spanish support was great, the fantastic.
15:39
Speaker 1: The camera kept panning to one lady.
15:41
Speaker 2: Oh my god, so I was in love with that lady.
15:43
Speaker 2: She was like in tears one.
15:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the thing is like a lot
15:46
Speaker 1: of Spanish flags, a lot of Spanish support. Yeah, but
15:50
Speaker 1: is it unfair that a German player if someone's waving
15:53
Speaker 1: a German flag and screaming, it's got bad kind of time?
15:56
Speaker 2: Well there was yeah, yeah, but the only the way
15:59
Speaker 2: they can do it. There was one German guy that
16:00
Speaker 2: was he was making a splash on the screen because
16:02
Speaker 2: he had like a crazy like top hat on and
16:05
Speaker 2: was wearing like a like a weird colorful techno shirt
16:09
Speaker 2: that said Berlin draped in a German flag. And I
16:12
Speaker 2: think that's the German side of it. You've got to
16:14
Speaker 2: lean into. You can't do the chance, basically, you just can't.
16:19
Speaker 1: It's tough and they know that they.
16:21
Speaker 2: Understand the situation. But yeah, but there was also the
16:24
Speaker 2: Spanish supporters the rules, and they were yelling out things
16:26
Speaker 2: in Spanish. We were trying to decipher they were yelling.
16:29
Speaker 2: They were like constructive and supportive. It was beautifu. They
16:31
Speaker 2: would yell o at like because you're by, yeah, I'm
16:34
Speaker 2: just by so yeah obviously speak Spanish, yeah bilingual, Yeah,
16:37
Speaker 2: well I'm not. I speak a little bit of Spanish
16:39
Speaker 2: because my partner. But that would say like little by little,
16:41
Speaker 2: like poco poco, and the would say it's dumbas gontigo
16:44
Speaker 2: which means we are with you, like so beautiful. But
16:46
Speaker 2: then there was one white guy who kept yelling out
16:49
Speaker 2: in like a Mexican accent, you can't do it, Carlos,
16:53
Speaker 2: which didn't feel right, but you can't argue with the results.
16:56
Speaker 2: He did win.
16:56
Speaker 1: He did do it.
16:57
Speaker 2: He did do it.
16:59
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll just go through the notes from the
17:02
Speaker 1: match that I made and then just jump in if
17:05
Speaker 1: anything pops out of you. Like I said, we missed
17:08
Speaker 1: the first set. I just know Alcaaz had a break
17:11
Speaker 1: late and then was able to close that first set.
17:14
Speaker 1: Zverev he says he regrets most the second set because
17:18
Speaker 1: he was up five to two.
17:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, wouldn't you.
17:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then I mean it made all the difference,
17:25
Speaker 1: and because then Carlos got back on serve pushed it
17:28
Speaker 1: to a tie break, and I was thinking the way
17:31
Speaker 1: Alcaaz throws himself around the court. Of course, this has
17:35
Speaker 1: been observation that has been made a million times. It's
17:37
Speaker 1: a Nadal esque totally. But then Nadal's body eventually caught
17:41
Speaker 1: up with him and I was like, oh, man, Like
17:43
Speaker 1: I was like, surely he's going to have some injury
17:46
Speaker 1: issues in the future. Rightly, that's speculating as to how
17:50
Speaker 1: he plays right now.
17:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he might win you know, fifteen majors by
17:54
Speaker 2: the time he's twenty six or something. You know, like
17:56
Speaker 2: who knows well.
17:57
Speaker 1: So that stat that he's the youngest man and to
18:00
Speaker 1: be an all four Slam finals, and then if he wins,
18:03
Speaker 1: he'll be the youngest man to win all Slam finals.
18:05
Speaker 2: It's crazy, it's unbelievable.
18:07
Speaker 1: It's an awesome storyline. Vera serve kind of went to
18:11
Speaker 1: hell late in the second set, and then yeah, Carlos
18:16
Speaker 1: was kind of toying with them in the second set tiebreak.
18:18
Speaker 1: There was a lot of those drop shots. Yeah, push
18:20
Speaker 1: him to the back there, the drop shot yesterday. He
18:23
Speaker 1: always is.
18:24
Speaker 2: But like you, when you're there and you see him
18:27
Speaker 2: in like person, at the speed which he takes off
18:29
Speaker 2: the ball to do it, it is so impressive. Yeah,
18:32
Speaker 2: when he doesn't pull it off, you're like, oh my god,
18:34
Speaker 2: what the hell? It's crazy. What's wrong with what he's
18:38
Speaker 2: wrong with? You, dude?
18:39
Speaker 1: But also Zverev is like, what six foot six he's
18:43
Speaker 1: getting up to that ball.
18:44
Speaker 2: Oh, totally, he can move. He can move. It's kind
18:47
Speaker 2: of like these modern big tennis guys. They just they
18:49
Speaker 2: move their quick their legs are just so long, like
18:51
Speaker 2: you watch cineplayer. They can just get there. You don't
18:53
Speaker 2: think they can, but they do.
18:54
Speaker 1: Yeah.
18:55
Speaker 2: The highlight is when they and it happens a few
18:57
Speaker 2: times in the fourth set. I feel like till the
18:59
Speaker 2: in the third sorry till the injury kind of happened.
19:03
Speaker 2: That we're going toe to toe at the baseline, whipping
19:05
Speaker 2: four hands fair at full hand. It's just a beast.
19:08
Speaker 1: Man all credits. There was some four hands to like
19:12
Speaker 1: save break points like late in the match that were
19:15
Speaker 1: the best I'd ever seen them.
19:16
Speaker 2: Just a few that he whipped down the line. You're
19:18
Speaker 2: just like, wow, I know, just speechless. Touch.
19:22
Speaker 1: I kept looking at you, going, man, you could be
19:24
Speaker 1: having yeah.
19:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. What do you got this time?
19:26
Speaker 1: You could be having like a muffin?
19:28
Speaker 2: What's your muffin? Who's having a muffin at dinner time?
19:32
Speaker 2: That's crazy crazy.
19:35
Speaker 1: So Carlos takes the second set. It looked like, for
19:38
Speaker 1: all the world, this is going to be another straight
19:40
Speaker 1: sets victory. I did feel that way, which is par
19:43
Speaker 1: for the course for this tournament. The second week of
19:45
Speaker 1: this tournament, and then this in the third set is
19:49
Speaker 1: where things got wild. I thought it was an injury
19:53
Speaker 1: at four to four in the third. Uh so did
19:57
Speaker 1: Carlos Apparently yep, because he took a medical time out,
20:02
Speaker 1: which angered Zvere.
20:05
Speaker 2: Was very of got furious and started ranting in German.
20:09
Speaker 2: In German, he was, yeah, which.
20:11
Speaker 1: Was discussed before.
20:12
Speaker 2: It's like he should have popped on a little funny
20:14
Speaker 2: hat and a little colorful shirt and tried to be
20:17
Speaker 2: more of a rave guy. But he I mean rightly,
20:22
Speaker 2: so you could see why he was angry. But I
20:25
Speaker 2: guess if you don't say it's cramps, how do you
20:28
Speaker 2: know it's cramps.
20:30
Speaker 1: If you don't say it's cramps.
20:31
Speaker 2: Well you would have to say it's cramp, do you
20:33
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like so Carlos, he was like,
20:36
Speaker 2: it could have been something else. I don't know. I
20:38
Speaker 2: was worried about the that I could have pulled something.
20:41
Speaker 2: The growing is a complex area of the human body.
20:43
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, he's twenty two, So what would you
20:45
Speaker 1: call those phase.
20:46
Speaker 6: Of his liss?
20:47
Speaker 2: I would say, you know, it's a young man exploring
20:49
Speaker 2: his body getting out there.
20:51
Speaker 1: You wouldn't call it prime growing time.
20:54
Speaker 2: I didn't know that's where you're going with it.
20:56
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I thought it was the most obvious.
20:59
Speaker 2: Can I say I remembered nothing from the last.
21:01
Speaker 1: Podcast and that was prime growing time.
21:05
Speaker 2: That was a chub close call, is what that was?
21:09
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well he said it could have been an aductor,
21:12
Speaker 1: which I believe is the same thing that happened to Mazzetti.
21:14
Speaker 1: And he then took a medical time out. Zarah was
21:18
Speaker 1: adamant it was it was cramps. It was obviously, But
21:21
Speaker 1: what's the so what's the physio? Comes out right and
21:24
Speaker 1: get a medical time out for cramps?
21:26
Speaker 2: I know this, right, So but you tell you like,
21:28
Speaker 2: I need the physio because I'm worried it might be
21:30
Speaker 2: an abductor or whatever. And then he's rubbing away, like,
21:34
Speaker 2: surely the physio is like a chub close another job
21:38
Speaker 2: close call. Well, I mean I was watching his hands.
21:40
Speaker 2: It was a chop close. Yeah, but like surely he
21:45
Speaker 2: knows it would be different treatment for different injuries, and
21:47
Speaker 2: if you have crams, you'd be doing something differently. All
21:49
Speaker 2: we can see is he's just rubbing away down there.
21:52
Speaker 2: I don't know what he's trying to do, what he's
21:54
Speaker 2: trying to release, what he's trying to get out, I
21:56
Speaker 2: don't know yeah, but but it obviously wasn't cram because
22:00
Speaker 2: otherwise that would be cheating, and Carlitos not a cheater.
22:03
Speaker 1: True. I mean, well, I think to all the world
22:07
Speaker 1: it looked like he did something on that chot and
22:09
Speaker 1: then then he's like stretching, and you know, like it
22:12
Speaker 1: looked well, that.
22:13
Speaker 2: Is the other thing, because it pulled up. He pulled
22:15
Speaker 2: up immediately after a shot, which would suggest maybe it
22:18
Speaker 2: was something else exactly right, whereas a cramp I think
22:22
Speaker 2: they I mean, it does come suddenly, but I think
22:24
Speaker 2: he would start to feel the process of the muscle
22:26
Speaker 2: getting tense and wanting to spasm.
22:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it starts localized, right, And then he was
22:32
Speaker 1: kind of staggering around for a good hour and a half.
22:34
Speaker 1: He was on one leg. Dude.
22:37
Speaker 2: That was the crazy stuff when he couldn't move and
22:41
Speaker 2: he was just like throwing down like one hundred and
22:44
Speaker 2: thirty kilometer first serves, and you're like and hitting winners,
22:47
Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, like hitting some unbelievable winners. But
22:51
Speaker 2: that's when the match kind of took on this whole
22:53
Speaker 2: weird dynamic. It was like, do you know the classical
22:57
Speaker 2: music piece flight of the bumblebee of course. Yeah, it's
23:00
Speaker 2: kind of that was a similar journey. It takes you
23:02
Speaker 2: and it goes down, and it goes up, and then
23:04
Speaker 2: it comes all the way to this incredible crescendo at
23:06
Speaker 2: the end. It was amazing.
23:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, you really shoehorned in some classical music knowledge.
23:13
Speaker 2: Okay, do you want me to try another one? Okay?
23:14
Speaker 2: It reminded me.
23:15
Speaker 1: Of no, no, no, I want you to say, like
23:19
Speaker 1: a music you really listened to. It reminded me of
23:22
Speaker 1: a Vichy of a VICI. Hey, brother, Ip, don't bring
23:27
Speaker 1: that in. I'll get sad. Yeah. Well, it was fifteen
23:31
Speaker 1: games basically where he somehow still kept it close and
23:36
Speaker 1: I thought he obviously his body was better in the
23:39
Speaker 1: fifth set, I thought he dialed back in, but he.
23:42
Speaker 2: Still lost the story broken immediately.
23:45
Speaker 5: Yeah.
23:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what added that more complex layer of that
23:48
Speaker 2: last set, because you're like, he is fighting and it
23:51
Speaker 2: looked like he was getting on top. But full credit
23:54
Speaker 2: to is fair of he is just doing what he
23:56
Speaker 2: needed to do.
23:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he then in his press conference, Veruv said
24:02
Speaker 1: I should have beat him quicker in those two sets
24:06
Speaker 1: before the fifth, the third and the fourth he.
24:08
Speaker 2: Really knock him down.
24:09
Speaker 1: Well, just so his body was still cramped up in
24:11
Speaker 1: the fifth because he was clearly feeling better by the
24:13
Speaker 1: fifth set. Yeah, and then that's it's very surved for
24:17
Speaker 1: it at five to four, and the crowd was going nuts, crazy, dude.
24:21
Speaker 1: Every time Carlos won a point, it was wild.
24:24
Speaker 2: It was crazy. And then the nervous energy is just like,
24:29
Speaker 2: oh my, Like you're just sitting there, I'm like boding
24:31
Speaker 2: my nails. Just the other journals are tapping away. I
24:34
Speaker 2: don't know how they can be tapping away on their laptop.
24:36
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
24:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that sets up the final, which will be
24:48
Speaker 1: Carlos Alcorazm versus Novak Djokovic. Let's talk about the other semifinal,
24:53
Speaker 1: Djokovic versus Sinner.
24:54
Speaker 2: Did you think, like in your little drain dory, did
24:57
Speaker 2: you think that these were going to be the two
24:58
Speaker 2: that we're going to be playing?
25:00
Speaker 1: It is?
25:01
Speaker 2: I mean, it couldn't be better, could it. It's like,
25:03
Speaker 2: and especially both of them getting through those two matches
25:06
Speaker 2: the way they did, It's like, I feel like on
25:09
Speaker 2: a physicality level, they might be on a somewhat even
25:12
Speaker 2: par even though Novak is what, what is one hundred
25:14
Speaker 2: and thirty eight? I'm not sure exactly how old he is,
25:16
Speaker 2: but one hundred and thirty eight exactly.
25:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's got it the same Sonna.
25:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's in the village, the retirement village they live.
25:27
Speaker 1: Novak. Okay, so this was lots of.
25:30
Speaker 2: Unpack here because this was it's like that match finishes
25:33
Speaker 2: and you're like, whoa, what we've got our money's worth.
25:35
Speaker 2: And then it's like Novak and Yanak were like, you know,
25:39
Speaker 2: we're going to take it to another level.
25:40
Speaker 1: You had a rush home too.
25:42
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. Well, the Argentinians would
25:46
Speaker 2: call it payeesha pronunciation thing and then go to abia
25:52
Speaker 2: abitha instead of.
25:56
Speaker 1: Carl.
25:59
Speaker 6: Oh.
25:59
Speaker 1: The listeners love to hear that. I love it.
26:01
Speaker 2: Probably offensive stuff as well. Apologies, that's all right.
26:04
Speaker 1: So there's a nice little moment in the locker rooms
26:08
Speaker 1: of the Djokovic top in Alcoraz. Alcoraz is warming down
26:13
Speaker 1: after it.
26:13
Speaker 2: He's on the.
26:14
Speaker 1: Uh and Djokovic you know, says to him like, you know,
26:18
Speaker 1: you can wrap that up any quicker. I'm an old man.
26:21
Speaker 2: Is that what he said?
26:21
Speaker 5: Yeah?
26:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome, something to that effect.
26:23
Speaker 2: I thought he said, what up, bro, something like that?
26:25
Speaker 2: What have you been up to Yeah.
26:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what's how's it been hanging?
26:29
Speaker 2: I love the Carlos is on the bike. I know
26:31
Speaker 2: they have to warm down, but the optics of it
26:32
Speaker 2: is always so funny. I'm like, why are you so
26:34
Speaker 2: worn out?
26:35
Speaker 6: Me?
26:35
Speaker 2: You're well, you're now just doing a few kys on
26:37
Speaker 2: the bike. Say they use that energy out there?
26:39
Speaker 3: Yeah?
26:40
Speaker 1: Save it for the final? Yeah?
26:41
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
26:42
Speaker 3: Yeah.
26:43
Speaker 1: The match Djokovic Cinner started much like the previous semi final,
26:50
Speaker 1: and I thought it was just gonna be a three
26:53
Speaker 1: set totally for Center. The first set, Center got off
26:56
Speaker 1: to a quick start just like stayed ahead of him.
26:59
Speaker 2: I played pretty well that first set, but you know,
27:01
Speaker 2: he went down the break and it is what it is,
27:03
Speaker 2: you know. But Sina was looking on fire.
27:05
Speaker 1: His serve was huge. Yeah, I forget the exact stet,
27:08
Speaker 1: but it was something like twenty six aces to Novak's twelve. Yeah,
27:13
Speaker 1: throughout the match.
27:14
Speaker 3: So uh.
27:15
Speaker 1: The second set is when this started to get interesting.
27:19
Speaker 1: Djokovic dug In started clobbering his forehand, goes up a
27:23
Speaker 1: break three one, and at four to two, Jocko's serving
27:27
Speaker 1: seemed to hurt his shoulder.
27:29
Speaker 2: And he seemed to hurt everything in his body.
27:32
Speaker 1: Well this is a classic Djokovic thing. Yeah, is he
27:35
Speaker 1: kind of will flail around and fall into his seat
27:38
Speaker 1: and let you know, like it's like robodope.
27:40
Speaker 2: He vomited at one point. Did he into a towel? No,
27:43
Speaker 2: that was Alcras, No he No, Novak had a towel
27:46
Speaker 2: over his face. Dug, look like if that have we
27:49
Speaker 2: got that on the cameras like that, please do actually,
27:56
Speaker 2: please do. But he like maybe it was robodote, maybe
28:00
Speaker 2: all theatrical. Maybe it's you know, grunt gate in a
28:02
Speaker 2: different form. I don't know, but he was he was
28:06
Speaker 2: like feeling it.
28:06
Speaker 1: All he was and considering that his last two matches
28:10
Speaker 1: were walkers, You're like, what why And it's like nighttime,
28:14
Speaker 1: it's cool condition.
28:15
Speaker 2: He might have called something off rod labor in the sauna, potentially.
28:23
Speaker 1: Flavors in the air every day and every n But
28:27
Speaker 1: he took that second set. Third set, there was like
28:30
Speaker 1: more of the kind of falling around on the bench
28:32
Speaker 1: and the towel over the head.
28:35
Speaker 2: It still seemed third set, You're like, well done. Novak
28:37
Speaker 2: took a set off him. But sinner will run this one.
28:41
Speaker 1: I thought, center and four from there, yeah, Cinner. Look
28:47
Speaker 1: like that first set, it looked like Cinner was doing
28:50
Speaker 1: to Djokovic what Jokovic has been doing to people forever,
28:53
Speaker 1: like getting crazy sliding backhands on across you know, cross
28:57
Speaker 1: court shots and just deep, just insane defense getting everything back.
29:02
Speaker 1: And the thing that fascinated me the most about this
29:05
Speaker 1: match was it wasn't lockdown Djokovic, which he's been known
29:08
Speaker 1: to do in the past, and just get every ball
29:10
Speaker 1: back until the other go yeah, yeah, yeah, it was up.
29:13
Speaker 1: He was lace in the ball, he was going for winners,
29:17
Speaker 1: he was going for broke and it was awesome, But.
29:20
Speaker 2: I guess you kind of have to because the Sinner's
29:22
Speaker 2: back there. And when he plays like this, like you said,
29:24
Speaker 2: it is kind of like prime Djokovic, Like it's just
29:26
Speaker 2: a wall of defense. He's sending it back with heat,
29:29
Speaker 2: he's getting to everything. It's like the court becomes so
29:31
Speaker 2: much narrow and it hit a winner past him, and
29:33
Speaker 2: I guess Jokovic was like, well, whatever, I'm one hundred
29:36
Speaker 2: and thirty two, this is probably my could be my
29:38
Speaker 2: last chance to do it. I'm just going to have
29:40
Speaker 2: a swing.
29:40
Speaker 1: Yeah. It was awesome, it was amazing, And did you
29:43
Speaker 1: stay up for the whole thing.
29:44
Speaker 2: No, you know, Jules had something in the oven and
29:46
Speaker 2: I had to.
29:47
Speaker 1: Sit down to it. I tried your girlfriend.
29:49
Speaker 2: I think she stayed up. I got to the fourth
29:54
Speaker 2: I started falling seven. The fourth sat and then I
29:56
Speaker 2: woke up and I just had to go to bed.
29:59
Speaker 2: And then I woke up at about three am because
30:00
Speaker 2: it was playing on my mind.
30:01
Speaker 1: You had to get up early and eat crumpets with
30:03
Speaker 1: your girlfriend.
30:04
Speaker 2: Crumpets. Yeah, we're in Australia. I went to a beautiful
30:08
Speaker 2: cafe and had avocado and toast.
30:10
Speaker 1: Oh my god, someone's doing well. So the fourth set,
30:17
Speaker 1: it was just back and forth, each guy taking a
30:20
Speaker 1: set right up to the fifth and then Djokovic goes
30:23
Speaker 1: up a break in the fifth. It was so much tension.
30:27
Speaker 1: There was one service game for Jokovic when he was
30:30
Speaker 1: up a break where he went down love forty and
30:32
Speaker 1: then somehow got.
30:33
Speaker 2: Through that game. Yeah, well what's his dad? Novak saved
30:36
Speaker 2: sixteen or eighteen breakpoints.
30:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just amazing.
30:40
Speaker 2: Crazy. I know, it's like that doesn't that's not good
30:42
Speaker 2: for your insight, Like you need to say hot dog
30:45
Speaker 2: there after doing that.
30:45
Speaker 1: Well, I think he is, you know, not only the
30:48
Speaker 1: best of all time the boat, as I say, but
30:51
Speaker 1: he's also like just been the mentally strongest athlete on
30:55
Speaker 1: a court I think I've ever seen.
30:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well he has to be because he's been
30:58
Speaker 2: a chaser's entire.
31:00
Speaker 1: Oh god, don't start that.
31:01
Speaker 2: It's just been chasing. Never been a front runner, never
31:05
Speaker 2: been a front runner, and.
31:07
Speaker 1: His dominant never been dominant.
31:09
Speaker 2: Just always a little career journeyman, scratching out of victory
31:13
Speaker 2: here and there, a good old odd he should be Australian.
31:17
Speaker 2: He's an aussy battler.
31:18
Speaker 1: That guy. Well this is uh, he said, the most
31:22
Speaker 1: support he's ever gotten from the Australian crowd.
31:24
Speaker 2: Well, it felt like, I mean, he has a complex
31:26
Speaker 2: relationship with Australia and it feels like the tides turned.
31:30
Speaker 2: I feel like now it's kind of universal support. It
31:33
Speaker 2: often happens in like older age when people they you know,
31:36
Speaker 2: they realize they have to celebrate the things they have.
31:38
Speaker 2: And very lucky to see Prime Novak do so much
31:42
Speaker 2: of his you know, historical work here at the Australian
31:45
Speaker 2: Open and it's like, how can you not be tip
31:46
Speaker 2: of your hat to that kind of a performance.
31:48
Speaker 1: Of course, Well in that sense, Carlos being beloved already
31:54
Speaker 1: Novak and like you said, is complex history with Australia,
31:57
Speaker 1: but the crowd getting behind him in this match. Who
32:00
Speaker 1: where do allegiances lie?
32:01
Speaker 2: Truly do not know. I really do not know. I
32:04
Speaker 2: think it becomes of like, what storyline do you value more?
32:08
Speaker 2: Do you want to see the young buck win become
32:10
Speaker 2: the youngest person to win a full slams or do
32:13
Speaker 2: you want to see the goats the greatest of all
32:16
Speaker 2: time at another one and become the.
32:17
Speaker 1: Oldest and become the all time Grand Slam.
32:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, go past Margaret Courts.
32:22
Speaker 1: So twenty five, I.
32:24
Speaker 2: Mean, it's take your pick. I don't know. I guess
32:26
Speaker 2: you can't lose really, but if you're in the crowd cheering,
32:28
Speaker 2: I don't know, what's this that? So this is Novak's
32:31
Speaker 2: thirty I want to say, thirty seventh Grand Slam final.
32:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. It's his eleventh Australian Open and he's never.
32:39
Speaker 2: Last, Yeah, which is a terrifying statistic. Yeah, absolutely terrify.
32:43
Speaker 1: So he's won ten finals here and yet the crowd
32:47
Speaker 1: is still like, oh, we just st all don't know
32:49
Speaker 1: about this guy.
32:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, what I'm saying it's complex, it's very complex our
32:53
Speaker 2: relationship with him, but it is amazing. Thirty seven Grand
32:56
Speaker 2: Slam finals. It's like, that's so much of your career
33:00
Speaker 2: you only get four shots of it a year. And
33:01
Speaker 2: also he's won twenty four. Yeah, so it's like to
33:04
Speaker 2: be the greatest of all time. He's still hitting what
33:06
Speaker 2: like sixty percent victory rate in it. It's like phenomenal,
33:10
Speaker 2: phenomenal longevity.
33:12
Speaker 1: But it's okay, I'm well do predictions.
33:15
Speaker 2: He's also been the most serious podcast I think we've done.
33:18
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's been our best. I
33:21
Speaker 1: think it's been our best, dude, but we're like, we're
33:23
Speaker 1: tennis heads. Now you are.
33:25
Speaker 2: I'm all in. I'm all in.
33:27

Speaker 1: Oh my god, what where's.
34:05
Speaker 5: Feel?
34:06
Speaker 1: It feels surreal to be honest. Jokovic takes it out
34:09
Speaker 1: in the fifth set his speech afterwards. I loved this
34:14
Speaker 1: line because Yannick had won the last five matches against.
34:18
Speaker 2: Jogra five and one, and he was like, and he'd
34:20
Speaker 2: lost the last five I think, is that correct?
34:22
Speaker 1: Something like that? Well, I just know in the last
34:24
Speaker 1: handful of matches Center, yeah, dominated, dominated, and h Djokovic.
34:29
Speaker 1: This line was awesome. He said, yeah, Center had my number,
34:33
Speaker 1: so I changed my number.
34:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, sick, Come on, it's cool. Shit, what's crazy is
34:38
Speaker 2: then he put on a leather jacket and lit a
34:40
Speaker 2: cigarette as well. He hit a jukebox. I don't know
34:43
Speaker 2: where the jew box came from. Col that's crazy, no

40:04
Speaker 7: Passing back in on you.

40:18
Speaker 3: main It seemed like a little bit of rignis. Yeah.
40:22
Speaker 3: I never heard nobody losing qualities and make it into
40:26
Speaker 3: the main draw, considering it wasn't the last round of.
40:29
Speaker 1: Qualities as in the Yeah that you're confusing me with
40:34
Speaker 1: some other generic white.
40:36
Speaker 3: Oh andy, Oh yes, you guys, Oh that was him.
40:41
Speaker 7: My bad, I am confusing you. Oh my god.
40:43

Speaker 3: Yeah, but there was a few people who lost some
40:46
Speaker 3: qualities made it, Like Boslova, she lost some qualities and
40:49
Speaker 3: she made it. Futva beat Karina Busta and somehow he
40:54
Speaker 3: still got to play. So there was a few rigness
40:56
Speaker 3: going on, throwing down.
40:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to hand this backstraight to that.

Speaker 1: why you missed the servant?
41:11
Speaker 3: No, I missed a serve that was going to happen regardless.
41:15
Speaker 3: That was gonna happen regardless, But I just felt bad
41:18
Speaker 3: for some of the people that lost and didn't get
41:21
Speaker 3: the chance.
41:21
Speaker 1: Well, we've been playing the game the one hundred for
41:24
Speaker 1: the past few years. You've come in every time I'm
