  Speaker 1: His fifty first Grand Slam semifinal, a record that he owns.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: His thirteenth Rolling Garros semifinal. Man, it looked good and
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: he knocked out the number three player in the.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: World, Alexander Zverev.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Behind us, you will watch the fans pour out of
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: here and they got to witness the best to ever do.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: It look pretty darn good at thirty.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Eight years old, keko vandaway, Sam Querry and Patrick.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Thank Macenroe, appreciate that.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: All that build up. What's incredible.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: I at the best build up.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's all good.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: I just gotta live it well deserve.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Thirty eight years old, the oldest player to make the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: semifinals here in Rolling Garos in fifty seven years.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: We're going to watch the highlights in just a second.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: But the first time we got a chance of talking
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: at the grounds and said, so you really believe Novak
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: is the best?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: He keeps proving you right time and time again.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: Well, it's pretty clear when you go by the numbers
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: and the fact that he's won twenty four and.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: He's had it, you know, done it on multiple services.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: This is his worst Slam. He's won it three times unbelievable.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: And the longevity.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: Obviously that he's displayed is second to none, you know,
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: and Roger was there till his late thirties, so was Rafa.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: But what amazes me about Djokovic is his will, the
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: will that he continues to possess when he goes out there.
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, you could see at different times in this
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: match that he was struggling a little bit physically. I
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: think that's going to be a factor for sure in
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: the semi finals against Cinner. But he just he has
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: this excess energy that just comes from I don't know
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: where it comes from.
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: Me.
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: Obviously, he takes care of himself like no one else
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: we've ever seen, but it's the desire, the desire to
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: keep doing it, desire to keep doing all the things
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: he does off the court, and he just flat out
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: manhandled rereb and quite frankly, I was a little bit
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: surprised at how Zerip went away in the second and
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: third set, especially the third cent and Djokovic, to me,
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: even though this was a physical match, it was pretty
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: routine the way he ended up win. I didn't think
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: it would be I thought it would go the distance,
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: but Novak took care of business pretty efficiently for him
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: in best of five in a quarter.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Sam, we sat there courtside, right in the whisper seats
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and watched most of that fourth set as someone who
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: has battled this man and now got to sit there
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and watch it first. And what did you get to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: see sitting so close?
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: It's what pmack was talking about.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: He's thirty eight years old, the physicality and the will
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: early in that fourth set, I feel like he was
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: working so hard the first twenty minutes of that fourth set.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: He earned that break, and it felt like he kind
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: of knew that the end was somewhat near up two
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: sets to one, and I think you noticed it too.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Every point they were these are long points, over and over.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: It's the same point over and over. Right, got back henrally,
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: the Novak hit a drop shot and then something would happen.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: But Novak just the fact that at thirty eight years old,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: he's willing to go to a place mentally and physically
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: deep in a quarter final like this. I'm just blown away.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: It's so difficult to do at that age. Was that
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: much wear and tear in your body?
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: Say, I'm not even blown away because we had him
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: here at the desk and he actually went in like
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: deep dived into what made him him in a different
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: sense because it's post injury Novak before him being like
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: the best Novak we've ever seen, being able to beat
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: John McEnroe's record of undefeated up until a point of
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: having the undefeated season post Australian Open. I think Novak
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: Djokovich we don't give him enough credit for being mentally
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: tough because in his younger ages, that's what we knocked
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: him on. He was mentally weak and was able to
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: pull the ripcord before even on like Alex Bublik was
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: going to pull the ripcord. He was the first person
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: that people were saying, no, no, no, he's soft. Novak
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: Jokevich is stronger than we actually give him credit.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Ford, Let's watch these highlights, Patrick, Let's go right in.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: He had not lost a set heading into this match.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: First one, Zverev takes it from him.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he came out a little slow. I think the
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: legs were a little bit heavy. It took him a
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: little while to get going. Zvera didn't really do anything spectacular,
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: to be honest.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I mean he was hitting some big shots.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: He got an early break in the set, he was
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: able to run through it take care of his serve
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: pretty comfortably.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: But Novak started to get.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: A feel for the match early in the second set.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: The defending was there, that shot right there.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: Early he'd already gotten a break, and as Sam said,
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: it was like as the match went on, we started
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: to see more and more of this.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, because Drera.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: As my brother rightly pointed out, his positioning is terrible consistent.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: He's too far back and when Djokovic pulls him in
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: Sam with the drop shot, not only does he not
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: get it a lot of the time, but when he
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: does get it, he doesn't really do anything with it
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: because he doesn't have great hands, very unimaginative play from serve.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: In fact, he may be the best player that has literally.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Like no imagination with what he's trying to do. What's
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: he trying to build his game. He hasn't improved enough,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: he hasn't attempted to do things.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Differently, get to the creative strategy here, strategy court positioning,
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: moving forward. And Djokovic was just like, Okay, he saw
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: that he wasn't going to do anything different.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: What we say in tennis's we got bricks for hands, well,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: that's true.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: But you know, you can work on that number one,
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: but you can also work on not getting burned by
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: this play repeatedly repeated over the course of a four
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: set match. And that's what Djokovic was able to do.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: And he's a brilliant strategist. Now he's serving involing, you know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: in that last game of the match.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: To help close the door. He has so many options
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: in what he can do.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Right here, this is it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: This is the point of the turn.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is right here. One rally.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: This was a chance to actually get back in and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: look at the top right of your screen.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Sam and I are in there hugging each other trying
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: not to yell.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Excuse us for focus on that in the rally.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: No, it was more like, what are we watching right now?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: This is insane?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: The everyone just had to keep saying sh because everyone
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: just wanted to yell non stuff.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: It's also it's break points, Varia. It felt like it's
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: very one this point they could have turned the Yeah, and.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Here's a drop shot. Now he gets over the drop
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: gets to it. That's a pretty good play there.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: You gotta finish this here, you gotta finish it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Rising to finish it, Novak gets it.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: Back, says, okay, I'll throw up another lob because he
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: can't finish it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: And then watch this, all right, what do we have
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: coming another drop shot?
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I think right probably? Oh yeah, yeah, here it is
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: and he gets there, he's.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: There, and then he can just soa I mean, and
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: and both guys.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: They understand what they're saying. Here.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Wow, but see look at look at the you know
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: again the position interve just be doesn't He's not forceful enough,
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: not consistently enough. He chat splashes of it. Uh, and
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: Novak is just defending.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: He can go back. He loops this up. You could
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: take that in the air, you know, he loops this back.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: This is a fine. Here we go again.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Every point was the same, that's the same, you know
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: where it's gonna finish.
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: How many times do you get a chop shop before
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: you figure it out how to play it?
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: And that's what Sarah couldn't do too many times?
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I was also impressed with about
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: no vaccine today. It's a net play, yeah, nell a
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: ton And then he also scrapped out a few other
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: difficult volleys, and a lot of times we maybe don't
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: see him make I mean, you don't talk about his
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: next game a lot, but I thought it was in
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: the eight plus tonight.
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: This was This was exactly the game that Patrick's was
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: talking about at the start of the.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Of the match of.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: Social Zarah was willing to be I'm gonna say I'm
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: going to hit fifty balls today and you're gonna have
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: to deal with me in the physicality and no back
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: dealing with that, and Patrick's read it absolutely right.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Good enough to do that. Coach gives a lot of plays.
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: Absolutely Novak's response is what you depicted, Patrick was, We're
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: gonna hit a lot of dropshots. We're gonna make this
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: a cat and mouse game, and we're gonna see who's
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: going to be the better cat mouse because Novak cannot
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: in his age, unfortunately, deal with Therev and his youth
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: in these thirty to fifty ball rallies because there's really
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: willing to die on the sword.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: It's pretty incredible.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Of the stats you can read about Novak.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: This is his two hundred and sixty first to.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Win over a top ten opponent, Are you kidding me?
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: In the last four years on clay, he's seven to
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: one against top five players. He's going to need that
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: because there's some high seeds left in the draw.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Are John Worthip, the best sports reporter in the game,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: caught up with Novak.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Hopefully he caught his breath and could handle to spit
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: out an answer.
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: Novak, it's around midnight. You just beat the number three
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: player in the world. Thousands of fans chanting her name.
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: It it doesn't get all doesn't.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: No, he doesn't, No, he doesn't.
• 8:54
  Speaker 9: I mean, it's one of the biggest reasons why I
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: keep on playing, keep on pushing myself on.
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: A daily basis, to live.
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: These moments and to really challenge myself and challenge the
• 9:05
  Speaker 9: best players in the world, and Sasha is definitely one
• 9:07
  Speaker 9: of them. I think we both entered tonight's match in
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: great form. We haven't dropped the set till quarters, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: I knew it was always going to be a huge
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: challenge because he's got one of the biggest serves in
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: the world, and for his high he moves extremely well,
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: so I expected the long match.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: Honestly, I.
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: Was very happy how I bounce back after losing the
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: first set, and I played a great third set, and
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: then the fourth. He was hanging on the wire, but
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: great to finish it off.
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: How do you experience nights like this on the occasion
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: differently at thirty eight than you did at twenty eight.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: I mean, you know, we have a short term memory
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: tennis players. We have such a long season and so
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: many matches throughout our careers, and I've been, you know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 9: obviously fortunate to play on this level for so many years,
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: so I can't recall honestly my match is at ten
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: to fifteen years ago.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: But you know, I tried to leave in the moment.
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: I try to take the most out of what I
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: can and what I have left in the think as.
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: You were two matches away from record number twenty five,
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: do you feel like the hunted or the hunter?
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: I feel the hunter, I guess you know. The last
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: few years, I'm the hunter.
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: And your fifty first Major semi final, congrat.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: Thank you appreciations.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: So you heard that right there, his fifty first Grand
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Slam semifinal.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Let's do a little big three.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Nadal thirty eight Grand Slam semifinals, Federer forty six, Nice
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: fifty one.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: There's only one.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Person ahead of them, Chris Everett fifty two. So he's
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: now one Grand Slam semifinal behind. Look, the number twenty
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: five has already been there, separating from Margaret Court.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: It's an even number. We love that he just had
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: his one hundredth career title. That was great.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I do think if he were to get twenty five
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: beating the number three person in the world next game match,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: taking on the number one personal world Gonic Center, and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: then facing the number two personal world Carlos Akarez, there
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: has never been anyone that has beaten one, two and
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: three to win a Slam.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: To win twenty five, I don't know if it gets
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: more poetic than that.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I think if that happens, you walk away from the game, right.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, that is just the cherry on top of
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: the cherry on top of the cherry.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he can do that.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: No, I mean that's we understand what's ahead of him
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: because we've seen Cinner and Alcaraz thus far.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: But that's the task.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't think he's gonna do that, to say,
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: if he does win it, But to your point, Adam,
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: this would be to me one of the most remarkable
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: achievements of his career if he can pull this off,
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: because in my mind, he's a solid underdog against Zrera
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: for sure, and if it's Alcarez, I think he's more
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: than a solid underdog because of Alcaraz's prowess on this surface.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Cinner is great too, but.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: He hasn't won this title, and I think he still
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: can be vulnerable even though he hasn't looked at yet
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: on clay.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: So Djokovic is going to try to do that.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: He's going to try to play sure, he's going to try.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: To mix it up.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: He's gonna have to use every single trick he's ever
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: had because forehand Sinners is better right now, bigger, faster, backhand.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: You know, Djokovic has more variety.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: He can play the slice, but his backhand centers is
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: way bigger right now, Serve bigger second, serve bigger movement.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Movement.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: You could you know, I'm going to say that's a push,
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: but you could. You could probably argue that Sinner's actually moving.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: You got to give it a youth in that.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to give it to youth off the bat,
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: because Djokovic is, to me the greatest mover of all time.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Does Novak have a pillar that he beats center in?
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: He has?
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: The pillar is the intangibles that's the pillar. And he
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: also is you know, from a just a technical standpoint,
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: he can come in better, he can finish a little better,
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: he can play the mid court, but.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: He's going to have to pull it all out to
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: have a chance.
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, And I think Grand slams is all about that
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: of like where do you land in the draw. It's
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: so much about grand slaps. And I heard this from
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: Chris Effert is you win Grand Slam titles because you're
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: lucky more so than you are good. You get the
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: luck of the draw, not only about weather that we've
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: been dealing with here at Roland Garrels, but also where
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: you fall in the draw and who else falls around you.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: Novak Djokovic rather see Carlos Akrez than Yanick Center for sure,
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: in a semi final round.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: He rather also see Mussetti.
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: He doesn't want to see Yanick Centner, who he's going
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: to face in the semi final. He'd rather see Carlos
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: Akrez or Mussetti in the semifinals to get Yanick Center
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: in a final, to have that pressure, because that's the
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: intangible that you also talk about, Patrick, is that Novak
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: Djokovic is by far and away the better athlete is
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: because he's been there with experience with the intangibles of
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: his game and the experience that Trump's Yanick centners clean
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: striking a building, Trump's his movement ability. I think all
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: of that falls in the Novak Djokovic department. Unfortunately, he
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: faces Yanick Center in the semi finals, and I think
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: that's going to be the toughest test that Novak jo.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: I think that's tougher than playing Alkhoraz.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: I think Yanick Center matchup to matchup is tougher for
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: Novak Djovich to play Yanick Center than Carlos Sakraz because
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: he beat Carlo Sakraz for gold medal right this year
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: on this court.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: I mean true, at the end of the day, if
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: he's gonna win the tournament, he's gonna most likely have
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: to beat them both. What difference doesn't make if it's
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: a semi final and a final.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: I do think a final puts a lot more pressure
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: on the tangible more so than a semi final. That's
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: where I.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Think staggering to realize this. The last time he lost
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: at Shatrier was the twenty twenty two quarter finals against
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: won It. In twenty twenty three, he gave a walk
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: over to Kaspar Rude in twenty twenty four, and then
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: he won the Olympics here at Chatrich, twenty two matches
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: in a row.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Pretty dark, good, good.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: Everyone would beg to have that kind of apple.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: It's an epic semi final lineup. I mean, let's be honest,
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: this is what you know. Musetti has been second or
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: third best play court player this year. Love watching him play.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: He's going to be a solid underdog against Alcaraz has
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: been on fire. Sinner has been incredible, and now you've
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: got Djokovic in the mix, you know, with a chance
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: to do it again.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: What more can we ask?
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: I think the bottom line is we're all excited for
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: the semi finals.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Incredible.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we were saying he's so great. You wou'd love
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: to have an American. We don't have an American. If
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: you could hand pick four guys that you want there,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: it's these four that we've got.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: They've played the.
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: Best in the clay course by far.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Yep, six sets away, that's how far we are.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Let's a champion
