  Speaker 1: And they're going to be bright pink in a few hours.

• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Some good matches on today. Mazzetti is playing mahach I.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: My prediction is that Mazzetti loses that mahach like that,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: thank you, I got amongst it. Last night I had
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Shakeshack for the first.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Time, first time in Australia.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: In Australia, Yeah, yeah, how was it?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: How did it compare to Shakeshack in America?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I want to say, more pricey? Yeah, and I could
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: smash four of those burgers.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: They're tiny, yeah, full bit that's gone.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah it's good. But I mean, come on, is this
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a burger for ants? Shakeshack?
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: So I was Margaret Court and then I watched Bublic
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a great match with etchvarious straight sets again, but still
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: love the Boob's good, he looks good. I think the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: predictions of him being a dark horse are still pretty strong.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: But before we get into the matches proper, I gotta
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: say we are climbing the charts.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: We are crushing. Yes, meteoric rise. We moved up to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: number forty four on Apple Sports podcast. But yes, early
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: forty I know that's me. That's my age, early forties
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and still got it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: As long as you stop eating sugars.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and erotic in the Serve podcast is up at
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: thirty five, but we are coming for you.

  Speaker 2: You both know enough about the game.

  Speaker 1: I like that, that is fine.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you both know enough about the game to have
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: great conversations with the guests.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: You ask unusual.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: And interesting questions, and you're not afraid to be edgy
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: and push the limits a bit, which tennis needs.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Keep going, y'all. The set is super cozy, too, great, beautiful.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree with all that push the limits.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: We pushed the limits.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: We should push the limits.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And then, of course, on the other end of the spectrum,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: getting a mean comment. This is so boring. I can't
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: even bear to listen to a few minutes. Thumbs down, Boom,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: thanks for listening for even a few minutes.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Though, yeah, we appreciate that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: View is a view, the views of you right to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: us at podlabor at tennis dot com dot au. But
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: please be nice. We are far too fragile for your comments.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Very fragile.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Should we get into the matches proper? Yeah, it was
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a huge day yesterday. I went out and watched Moute
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and Alcarez.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah it was.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, he looks on fire, Alcarez as usual Alcareth.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: It was like an exhibition match out there, tweeters galore,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: between the leg shots, drop shots.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Just having fun out of it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: It was almost like Mute, who's like a very crafty Frenchman.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: You said you don't trust the French offer.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Get rid of.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I gotta say they bring a lot of energy to
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the tournament.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Though, Oh you want to go watch your game with
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: with a French player.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they got the olaise.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: They love a and then Mute's name lends itself to that,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: so there's a lot of MUTI yeah, I like it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Could you deal with your name? Who yeah or just
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: who yeah?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: What would your champion? I probably just get who whoo?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Why? Why? Why? Why?
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: What?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe who let the dogs?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Who let the dogs out? But then it answers
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: its own question, because you let the dogs, I would
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: get the gold Steam machines machine steam machine. Uh it was.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: It was great to watch, but I think Mute accepted
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the fact that he was just not gonna overpower Alcorizm. Anyways,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Zverev over Nori in four sets. He had a little
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: fun moment afterwards where he took the mic from the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: interviewer and ran over to his brother to ask why
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: he's scared of playing him in tennis? Right? A charisma,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: A bit of charisma, Yeah, But then his brother gave
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a very boring answer, sank the balls. Yeah, I'm bad
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to practice with.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I guess. So yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the demon ar is on fire. The Demon took
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: out Big Fox in straight sets.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I looked a little bit defeated.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: He did a little bit defoed. Does that work? Yeah, okay,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: thank you. Another one of your favorite redheads rub lev
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: out to Sarndolo and straits. So that also means his
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: coach friend Merritt's happened.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Is gone by We hardly.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Know unless what he just stays and hangs out.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, why wouldn't you It's sunny here, true. Where
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: are you going to go back to the cold tundra? Yeah,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: of Siberia.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I can picture him just a giant fur coat and
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a hut.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's made of gold smoked fish, hanging up
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: that he killed himself.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: This is interesting. Fellow American hunk Tommy Paul over Davidovich
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Fakina because Davidovich retired with a hamstring injury. I think
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: upper thighs, something that's going on there. But Tommy Paul
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: just knows how to play Davidovich. He loves the matchup
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: because he played him last year and it was six one,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: six one, six one, and the two sets yesterday before
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Davidovich retired six one, six.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: One, Davidovich was probably like, I gotta get out of here.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't like it. Yeah, Davidovich looks like the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Bully and Karate kid. Oh do you know who I'm
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: talking about?
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: Is that?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Does that date me? Does that make me nice? Seem
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: bury old?
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I wish I remember he does?
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: He does if anyone is doesn't get there up. Look
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: at Bully in CAD But I think he's now stars
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: in what there's a Netflix show Cobra Kai, so he's
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: now like a good guy in Cobra Kai.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I started to watch that all right.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't get into it, but this is the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: only tennis podcast where you'll hear all things Cobra Kai,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: sweep the leg Wax Wax, Medvedev over Marazon. This was
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a well he did what Nadal did to him in
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two final. He came back from two
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: sets down and a break I believe in the third set.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Good for him.
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he said he didn't want to play any five setters,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: but he's he did. He's playing five and this sets
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: up for me, probably the most anticipated match of the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: next round. Lerner TN and Medvedev. Yeah yeah, which is
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: two of the smartest guys I think tactically in tennis.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: And they played last year and it went for just
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: under five hours till three am in the morning.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so he doesn't want to play five sets, that might.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Be and Learner's got the legs for it, I think,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you know, And hopefully we get Lerner in here because
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I wanted to ask him about the fact that he
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: is named Lerner because his mom is a teacher really yeah.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And his sister very Vietnamese, is it?
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like my Vietnamese friends they called Diana because of
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Princess Diana and because of Princess Anne. Oh wow, the
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: associations are really really cool.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Well, and then this is true his sister's well, I
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: think it's true. It says it on the internet, so
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: it must be. His sister's name is Justice because the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: dad is a lawyer.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Beautiful.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my dad's a proctologist. What would I be called,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: ass lord?
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: My dad owned a mechanic shop. What would I be called?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Lug nuts?
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Hand break?

  Speaker 1: Old lug nuts? Who over here? Yeah? So oh. Also,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: another match that's now set up in the next round
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: will be Bubliic and Demonar. I mean I'm pumped for that.

  Speaker 2: That'll be exciting.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kazakh Stan versus Australia. And at one of
• 10:53

• 18:59
  Speaker 4: being home, to be honest. And I realized quickly when
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: I dropped in the ranking that if I play well
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: and I make a lot of points in a few events,
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: I can have more weeks off.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: It's like the cool kid in school who would be like, yeah,

  Speaker 3: Yeah, they get straight a's. They're like, I didn't study.

• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, look, we don't want to get too
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: dirty here, but it's a high brow.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you wouldn't stoop to these levels.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then Stefanovic over there is doing strap on jokes.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no at breakfast that's a breakfast ship.

• 21:06
  Speaker 11: of that, and they were like, what are you talking about?
• 21:08
  Speaker 11: But now I can prove them wrong, and I guess
• 21:10
  Speaker 11: it's Is it all because of Lizzie?
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Who's incompetence I'm getting basically she keeps calling tennis matches
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: games and we've had many.
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: That is a bit of a bit of thoughtsball action there, Lizzy.
• 21:23

  Speaker 1: the tennis.
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: You know, Oh okay, yeah, great, right, Well now people

  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the one point slam of course, of course,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: but we didn't make him strap a tennis racket.

  Speaker 2: tennis player to ever live?
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: And are you from Melbourne?
• 23:49
  Speaker 12: Originally from Adelaide, Adelie, but I live in Melbourne. Now

  Speaker 9: forty two degree heat outside.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll probably de hydrated.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: That.
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: What I'm saying is it's harder to do comedy in
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: those conditions than play tennis.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I can say that. I can say that for sure.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: Comedy is physical. I get it. Yeah, standing as it's tough.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: It's tough. It's really tough. Now that you know where comedians,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: does this make more sense?
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: It does. I wasn't sure what I walked into, but
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: it does. It does make more sense.
• 24:41
