Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Andrew Alison. Here was sport this morning. Lots to watch
- 0:02Speaker 1: this morning, love it. So we've got Ryan Fox. He's
- 0:05Speaker 1: tearing off quarters to six.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Quarter to six. Yes, he was leading over night, but
- 0:11Speaker 2: just at least last report, Shane Lowry had taken one stroke.
- 0:14Speaker 2: He was five under through four holes.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Today.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Fox now in a sheer of second. But of course
- 0:19Speaker 2: he can change that on once he teas off himself
- 0:21Speaker 2: and change the momentum there. But Fox, I guess the
- 0:26Speaker 2: key thing to remember, he's seventy five in the wild
- 0:27Speaker 2: at the moment. If he gets into the top sixty,
- 0:29Speaker 2: he will contest, or can contest the US Open this
- 0:32Speaker 2: week at Pennsylvania. It's going to it's going to require
- 0:37Speaker 2: a top five finish. So that's really the key, other
- 0:40Speaker 2: outright winning it, which would be ideal from Fox perspective.
- 0:44Speaker 2: He's been playing so well right and adaptable too in
- 0:47Speaker 2: that I saw that shot with his right leg shoeless
- 0:52Speaker 2: in the water.
- 0:53Speaker 1: So he has to get to sixty. Yeah, inside the
- 0:56Speaker 1: top sixty, inside the top sixteen, you get to the
- 0:58Speaker 1: US Open. Yeah, Okay, this.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Is how he's doing it. Though he wins events, he's
- 1:02Speaker 2: the top twenty finishes, etc.
- 1:04Speaker 1: And happy pops. Yeah, right, brilliant. And so we've had
- 1:07Speaker 1: the tenant the French Open, Cocoa goth wins.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Yes she's won the women's and then the match against
- 1:13Speaker 2: against the Reda Sabalinka and this morning got Italian front
- 1:16Speaker 2: of me at the moment, but.
- 1:17Speaker 1: I've got the wrong channel.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Carlos al Kaath was on the verge of being able
- 1:23Speaker 2: to get back into the fourth set. So it was
- 1:25Speaker 2: two one to Yarnick Cinner Sinner one the first two.
- 1:28Speaker 2: Alcarath with a victory in the third set and he
- 1:31Speaker 2: was down to break al Karrath.
- 1:33Speaker 1: In the fourth. I'm trying to change the channels.
- 1:36Speaker 2: And he was almost on the verge of breakboy.
- 1:37Speaker 1: But hopefully we will get that to you in a moment.
- 1:40Speaker 2: But this is what we want to see from the
- 1:42Speaker 2: men's French Tennis Open final. A thrilling duel there this
- 1:46Speaker 2: morning as well, between these two who are I guess
- 1:49Speaker 2: the next wave of players, who have I guess taken
- 1:52Speaker 2: over from the three the week four of the past
- 1:56Speaker 2: generation and these two now taking it into the next level.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Speaking of thrilling, what about the Blues and the Chiefs.
- 2:03Speaker 1: That's one way to survive and the Caesars are out. Yeah,
- 2:07Speaker 1: it was to watch.
- 2:08Speaker 2: It was a great watch. Not twenty nineteen in the end.
- 2:11Speaker 2: But the Blues defending chairpers they've survived. And the Chiefs yea,
- 2:14Speaker 2: thinking of the Chiefs, surely this is their year again under
- 2:17Speaker 2: Clayton McMillan. As finally you as coach with the Chiefs,
- 2:21Speaker 2: but not to be so far. But by virtue of
- 2:23Speaker 2: being the best loser, they get the home semi final
- 2:28Speaker 2: again this week, so they playing the Brumbies and well
- 2:31Speaker 2: there'll be Saturday, but Blues Crusaders on Friday. That's it's
- 2:34Speaker 2: a hell of a jill too.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Yeah, that do you think?
- 2:37Speaker 2: Wow, she's pastforming had to say the Crusaders and that
- 2:40Speaker 2: they've never been beaten in their playoff at home there.
- 2:43Speaker 2: But Van Cotta he's got a real steely mindset to them.
- 2:48Speaker 2: And the Blues coming finding some momentum at that crucial
- 2:50Speaker 2: stage of the season.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:53Speaker 1: And the Warriors one.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Too, hiding too. It's fantastic for the Warriors just showing
- 2:59Speaker 2: their depth and Andrew Webster and even without Mitch Barnead
- 3:02Speaker 2: et cetera. They've just got the right mindset. There's a
- 3:04Speaker 2: terrific culture there at the moment and younger players coming
- 3:08Speaker 2: through as well. It's it's good science.
- 3:10Speaker 1: A lot happening this morning. We'll look forward to your
