  Speaker 2: I think it looks good. What do you think It's
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: too short on the side or too short on the top.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I think he went short on the sides and weird
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: little like party hat on top.
• 1:09

• 1:34
  Speaker 2: of the run so far, and there was a guy
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and the orders just went no.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I got to laugh, though, well only.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: When I addressed it. I was like, whoa, whoa who
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: audibly said no, And then he kind of I asked
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a couple of questions and he also said no. After that,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I was like, he's like the weird chorus leader in
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: my shirt. That was a weird guy, Michael.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: His name was oh, Michael's dicks. But this new guy,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: new barber, doesn't know who I am, you know, like,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and so you got to go through the small talk
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and uh, comedy comes up because he goes, you know, so,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: what have you been up to? He said, oh, I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: saw a comedy show for the festival last night. I'll
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: tell you who it was after because because he told
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: me who was. And then he goes, I've decided stand
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: up comedy is not for me. And he doesn't know
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: who I am. He doesn't know he's talking to a comedge. Yeah,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: so I go I started like baiting him. I go like, uh,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: so would you say like stand up comedy is like
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the worst of all these entertainment art forms and he
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, oh yeah. He was like, it's embarrassing,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it's cringe. And I go, would you put comedians below
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: like magicians and mimes? And he's like kind of laughing,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: but he's like absolutely, it's like it's worse. And then
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: finally the small ti cauts around us, So what do
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you do? And I go, oh, I'm a stand up
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: comedy and it was tense. Yeah, I know exactly, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: then he must have butchered me because yeah, the ruse,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Shot what.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Hard court has ed?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: And it was blended.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: But now is the time to say, is on Clay?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Tell me why?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Ego sewant exciting and to shot?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Tell me why.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Alcarez hitting multiple drops?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Tell me why?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Because now is the time to say is on Clay.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: We are into the Clay Court swings.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: This is exciting. Officially dirt to get dirty dirty.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: It is officially dirt rat season. I think Charleston is
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: on at the moment, which is a WTA five hundred.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Jess Pagoula is the number one seed. Okay for that one.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've watched Charleston. It's on Gray Clay.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Gray Clay. No, I have not seen that.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I like it. It's yeah, you can see the ball
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: way better than on the red clay. And they should
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: keep gray clay for all the tournaments.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Where do they get this gray clay? Like, what kind
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: of clay is geologist? That's what my mind went. And
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I'm like, so, which rock does that come from?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Well, because they've done I think they just diet because
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: they've done the blue clay tournaments before, but for most
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of the season it's on the classic red. But first, yes,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: let's recap the end of the hardcourt swing. Sunshine Double
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Miami is done.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: So you at the top, Yeah, we're like one of
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: them is going to do the Sunshine Double. I just
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: don't know who. I believe that is what you said.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I switched it to saying both will
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: do the Sunshine Double?
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Did you?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think last week's did you excellent just because
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Algras went out, Yeah, fair ground. Yeah, and yeah, I mean,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: let's do it here on this pod because I noticed
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the other tennis pods aren't doing it. They're not making
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: a big enough deal that a redhead won the Sunshine Double.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, that is so true, against.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: All odds, against all odds.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Environmental conditions not favoring yea.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Genetic weakness, lack of melanin, lack of melanin. But he
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: did it without dropping a set. Yanick Center wins the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Sunshine Double. That's four weeks of matches without dropping a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: single set.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Amazing.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: He's a machine. Yeah. Yeah, And that's three Masters one
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: thousand events in a row. Because he won Paris end
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: of last year where he didn't drop a set.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: And he's got some kind of is he on a
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: record now.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the first one to ever do it without
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: dropping a set. Yeah, that's crazy, which is nuts. And
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: he played Yeri Lehechka and yeah, and it wasn't wasn't
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: really pushed, even though year he had a break early,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: but I think Sinner just broke back immediately. He now
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to me like it's going to be him and Alcoraz
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: just fighting for the number one for the rest of
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the year because their points are getting pretty close. Cinner
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: now to me, goes into the clay court season as
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: probably the favorite. Yeah, because I think he'll get the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: number one seat at the French.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, and do you think he's gonna win, no, or
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: just get far enough to get that number one.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, because Monte Carlo is coming up. Yeah, I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: think that starts next week. And yeah, what Ace is
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: looking around suspiciously?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Did you forget to put a camera on?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Are we good?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Get paranoid? Whatever you mean?
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: He's like, oh the record button?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Centner. It seems to me now that it was
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: kind of an anomaly him. I mean he lost to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Jokovic in the semifinals of the as Open, and then that,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: especially the loss to uh Men Sick in Doha, which
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I believe was a semifinal as well. They seem like
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: kind of anomalies on this season that he's having because
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: he's just tearing through everyone and absolutely dominant. But he
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: hasn't been playing Alkhoriz.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: True, they haven't had a match hup.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: No, No, not this yere whoa Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: How weird is that? Because that's all we talk about,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I know. And then they haven't played together. No, hopefully
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: in the final.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Well of the French Yeah, give us a rematch of
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the French Final last year, one of the best.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: That would be awesome. But I I have maybe djokovitual
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: will get fun. You hate this, I say, yeah, I
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: feel like it.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not playing a lot of the lead up tournaments.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: He's pulled out of Monte Carlo. But yeah, I just
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: don't think he's going to have the time on the court. Yeah,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and he's getting up there.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I mean he's good on every surface, but I wouldn't
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: say clay is his strength.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Who else is really good on clay?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Uh, Well, a lot of the European dirt rats. I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: think dark horse is going to be Dar Dairy, who
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: had famous you might remember, but he's a guy that's like,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: plays real clean on clay and you know, grew up
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: on the surface. So I think just to recap Miami
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit more. Uh. The Arthur Fees and Tommy
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Paul quarterfinal was one of the best matches of the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: season and every set was a tie break. Tommy Paul
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: had four match points in the third set tie break
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and Arthur Fees came back to.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah that was incredible.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and him and Tommy Paul like two of
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the hottest.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Guys you're ever gonna say, Yeah, it's hunk v hunk.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Tommy, he'll figure out up.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. True.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: But then Fees got killed by the Hetchka in the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: next round. Who I mean, like we talked about before
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it was kind of someone would win a huge match
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and then go out in the next round.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Put all their effort into that match, and then be tired.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Mental or physical exhaustion are both. Zverav played Center in
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the semi of Miami, and he said in an interview,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the last time I beat Sinner, he was fourteen years old. Oh,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: like Center was fourteen years old.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: He's holding onto that. You can't shake that.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: And he lost in two sets to Center in the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: semi final. The second set tie break was good. I
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: think it all came down to a shot where Zverev
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: lost the ball in the lights and then yeah, kind
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of muffed it in to the net. And had he
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: not done that, he could have pushed a third set.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Damn.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I know. And the women and the women's Sablenka, who
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I think was my prediction from the start.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: From the start, I can confirm you predicted it.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, Sablenka played Cocoa Goff en route to the finals.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: She played her biggest rival these days, Rebacina. Yeah, and
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: kind of wasn't troubled this time by Rebeccaa. Just you know,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I think we're back in a obviously exhausted kind of
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: by that point in the tournament, and Sablenka played great
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: in that semi and great in the final, even though
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Golf took a set, she did come back. Yeah, that
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: second set was good.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was good. Yeah, but then she looked like
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: she had something. And then Sablenka has just a different
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: gear that she can go to.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: She's scary out there.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she just like that. No one can match.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: No.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, like we said, she's had a finals problem
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: in the past, most recently this year's Australian Open, but
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: now she's beat Rebeccena in a final and Golf in
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the final, and I think she is confident French Open
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: is hers even though there's ego.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but EGA's gone through some stuff.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: She didn't have a coach as well.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Maybe that's a good thing.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe we should coach hey IgA.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Remember that crazy rappol we had during the interview.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Where all you did was hit buttons and couldn't make
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: eye contact.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I feel like I could be your coach.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Miami was a great tournament. And to me,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it always kind of sits weird at this point of
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the season because it's more of hard court and then
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: now they're just straight into the clay and then obviously
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the grass court season and then they're back on hard
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: court leading up to the US. So it is this
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: thing where like Alcahaz, I think wasn't totally focused. He
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: was playing golf and going out to Miami nightclubs every night.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Was it the heat game?
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think now he really wants the calendar
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Slam and they leading into the French it's gonna be awesome.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll focus. Does anyone really like skip the clay? Yeah?
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Medvedev hates the.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Clay, Like I'm not doing clay. I love that.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I he'll play just for entrance fees, I think stuff.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: But he's thrown little hissy fits before. Well smashes, whack.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: It, wack it, wack it, smashes, wack it America.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I hate clay. I'll smash my wack it.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: So that's going to be a sound bite.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So he notoriously hates the clay. I think a
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: lot of players do. And I think what you'll see,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: like what happens every year is these Europeans that grew
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: up playing on the surface, You'll be like, who is
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: this person? You know? But they might have a deep run.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I think Atchivary is great on the clay, so he might,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: you know, show up in a lot of the tournaments.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: The South Americans they're they're good on clay, right.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So it's gonna be interesting predictions for the French.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I've been saying IgA all year, and.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Look, I'm gonna you're gonna stick with.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I think just because if she does now when, it'll
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: look cooler than if sabill Anca does.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: True, I'll look more knowledgeable and stuff because she is
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: awesome on the clay and has been so dominant in
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the past. I'm looking forward to Coco now showing some
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: form in Miami, getting.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Way more confident. Yeah that's a hometown, right, yeah.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. She was like umming and awing about playing because
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: she had those elbow issues during Indian wells. But then
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: she was like, it's a twenty minute drive from my place.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I may as well.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough gets to the.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Tennis commentators are so desperate for content that everyone's making
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: a big deal that she wore a hat for this tournament. Really,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: she's always wearing a head band. And then some tennis
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: journalists was like, oh, you're playing well in a hat
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and then it's like there's this big blow up, like, oh,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: a man can't tell a woman about her wardrobe or something.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: What Coco didn't care? Yeah, but yeah, I mean so
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: if we're talking hats, this is a hat, watch we're
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: doing it as well.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I did notice she was wearing the hat,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: and I thought the hat did look a little strange.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Because you used to sing her in a head band.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's why. But it's hot there. I like that
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: she's caring for her skim. Okay, that's nice.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'll see how Demonar does because he's now
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: rocking the head band instead of the hat.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's true. Do you think he's gonna continue
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: with the headband? It wasn't very lucky for him.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know because I looked it up. He doesn't
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: have the best results on clay. He's basically half Spanish,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: so who knows. It's up to him and the sponsors
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and his whenever they get.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: To your wife.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so the clay court. So there's two fifties happening.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: There's five hundred's the first A thousand will be Monte
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Carlo for the very exciting no Novak No Fritz no
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: draper oh corda QRDA. Yeah, so, I mean it's still
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: an awesome tournament. I don't know if you've it's the
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: one that's like sitting on the Mediterranean.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, crazy, it looks awesome. Yeah, the French Riviera. I've
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: been there, have you? Yeah, I've actually been in Monte Carlo.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Did you wear like a white linen suit?
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: No, it's I was doing this travel show. Weird job,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I know, it was a crazy job. Dream and now
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: our boat doctor in Porto Fino and then we where
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: do we go? We went. If you're going to go,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: don't stay in Monte Carlo. Montecalo is a little bit trashy,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: is it. Yeah, it feels a little bit like, I
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: don't know, just there's sports bars and yeah I didn't
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't love it. But you can catch a train.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: They're like one stop down to this place called Menton
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: and that's beautiful. That's like the last Italian city before
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: you you get into Monte Carlo. That it was half
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: French half Italian this city, so there were a lot
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: of Italians of it also a lot of French people.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: It was beautiful.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, what a life you're living where you're like Monte.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Carlo, Monte Carlo like it. Yeah, well I did go
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: to the sports I looked at my phone and I
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: was like, what do I do in Monte Carlo? And
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I do go to a sports bar and I took
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: a photo beyond Borg on the wall. I was like, well,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: there's my tennis alignment. That's all I got for you.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say beyond Borg was
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: at the.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Point, and no, it's his voto on the wall.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: It's still a great tournament, and I think, like what
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: we're going to see throughout the clay court swing is
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Alcorizm and Center battling for the number one spot. I hope, yeah,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: And I think any tournament they enter, like one of
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: them might skip Madrid and I think they'll both play Rome.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: But it's just going to be whoever's winning it is
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: just going to claim the number one spot. Yeah, back
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and forth. But the gap between them and whoever the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: number three is probably Veraev is just gonna widen. And
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Djokovic now has slipped to four and that's only going
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: to get worse if he's not playing any of the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: other tournaments. So yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: would love to go to Monte Carlo. Please Tennis Australia, even.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Though yeah, day out of the town, I'll catch the
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: train there. I'm just more my yacht.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I really only know it from this tournament. And
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: like every spy movie, they.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah it is. It is beautiful, but it is
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: like fast cars casino. Yeah, it's like hot guys taking
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: photos and yeah, so it's a lot of trash.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Sounds awesome, hot guys taking photos. In Ozzie news, Alexi

• 18:42
  Speaker 1: beating American Patrick Kipson. So, Alexi's had kind of rough season,
• 18:46

• 21:01
  Speaker 2: that kneeling on the ground.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: It's hard work. Oh but uh, you know, if there's
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: any potential ball daddy's out there, hit us up at
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: pod Labor at tennis dot com dot a and well,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: actually this takes us back to the clay, Lizzy. I'd
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: love to hear your thoughts on this. Okay, Madrid known
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: for using models, oh as ball kids, ballpeople.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Ball models, ball models. Yeah, that's kind of funny. So
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: what kind of like, well, Madrid is very is it
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: a fashion place?
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I guess? But this all happened years I think two
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: thousand and six, when a Romanian billionaire decided that he
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: wanted all the ball people to be models.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Ion.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, What'sac Tyriac? Yeah, so Tyriac, former tennis player need
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: one of the most terrifying men. He yeah, was like,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I want all models to be the ball people at
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: the Madrid tournament. Yeah, and the like models don't have
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: the agility and dexterity of kids running the energy energy,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: and they were like on all the matches and they're
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: falling over themselves and they Hugo Boss was a sponsor,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: but not only would they have the models wearing Hugo
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Boss t shirts, but he would write Hugo Boss across
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: their chests and their low cut tops. It was yeah,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and so now and then they go, okay, well, well
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the women's will have some male models, right, that was concession. Okay,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: but like male models who cares? Right?
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: And so now they've kept an aspect of models at
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the Madrid tournament. But it's only men's center court matches
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: and there's yeah, female models as ballpeople.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: That is wild. Yeah, I mean I understand it must
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: look good, sure, yeah.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the players, I think agacy was like.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: It is it distracted?
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to hit a forehand and there's.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Some show hanging.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Out swinging her norcs around. That's so it's interesting in
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: this day and age. Yeah, they somehow and it's Tyarac
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: isn't running the tournament anymore. It's I think some huge
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: sports agency. But they're like, we'll keep this one aspect
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: on center court for the men's Yeah, oh my god.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah what. Don't give it to kids who aspiring tennis
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: players and want to be around their heroes. Give it
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to privileged influencers. Yeah. Yeah, they need more opportunities. Yeah,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: they're the only other type of people that would be like, oh,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Monte Carlo is trash.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: I can't wait till you go there.

• 26:31
  Speaker 1: we've got players in for interviews and we want to

• 26:39
  Speaker 1: from tennis players, and you know they have him do

  Speaker 1: but people like paparazzi type things will yell questions at
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: tennis players to try and get some kind of response.

  Speaker 2: Tennis isn't really happening, so you got to you gotta
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: take the sponsor.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think it reaches maybe a critical mass
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: where people start giving you ship, depending on.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: When it's outside the tennis world. It looks a little
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: bit strange, it does well.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: I was looking for an outdoor kitchen to suit mark
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: cooking style and needs, which is very elegant. Obviously Afy
• 28:35

  Speaker 2: is a marketing manager. Yeah, okay, Nick, this is what
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: we want you to say.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes no sense at all. All those Hooters
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: waitresses actually loved me, loved me, loved me, Lizzie. We
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: have a new segment here on the show.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Oh is it? Is it anything like Mike's anagrams?
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: It's not as good. Okay, you know, but this is
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: exciting because as employees of The Australian open that, they
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: have opened up their vaults.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh to us.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: The history of the Australian.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Must love us, trust us so much, I know.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: And so we're going to call this segment double Vaults.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, like, this is brilliant. Where do you come up
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: with this stuff?
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I'm that good. So I've been drawling through the archives. Wow,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: and I found a clip of John McEnroe from over
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: thirty years ago. Oh gosh, I believe in a postmatch
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: interview a presser, and uh, let's have a look. Tell
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: me what you think.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Tennis is very, very very difficult. It's incredible sport, it
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: really is. You know, in twenty years, I hope that
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: the best athletes come into it so they can really
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: see just incredible tennis. They're not gonna believe what they're
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: gonna see in twenty years. If they really get the
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: best people, you know, it's gonna be an amazing thing.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: They're gonna have to change the rules too, but well,
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: for example, they're gonna have to move the service line
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: closer than net or something like that, or make the
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: net bigger, because else you can have sixteen Beckers hitting
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: aces at Wimbledon, and I don't think people want to
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: see that in the round of sixteen of wimbled.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Interesting John McEnroe kind of addicting the future there, Yeah,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I mean so if that was around eighty five, then
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: twenty years later, obviously it was fed an adult before
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Djokovic kind of turn it into the Big three, Murray
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Whenever hovering around, and then now we're seeing another two
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: guys just dominating and you know, great for them, but him,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: you know, saying that big serving isn't fun to watch.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, still holds true for sure. Yeah, wow, how interesting.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: I feel like I was watching a movie then, yeah,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: like someone playing him.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Have you seen Borg McEnroe. They made a movie and
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Sheila Booth played John McEnroe. Oh you can kind of
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: see it, yeah, a little bit. You know, they're both
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: like volatile.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah true and yeah, kind of want to see someone
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: ask him what's your favorite pizza?
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: He would lose his mind, Yeah, because you could tell,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: like it's obviously, I guess the story as old as
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: time as athletes kind of annoyed being at a press conference. Yeah,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: but he's like, oh, yeah, I got to be here,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: and you know, blah blah blah. But then if someone
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: yelled out, what's your favorite pizza? Like yeah, yeah, so yeah,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: that's the first edition a double vault, Like I think
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: him wanting to make the nets bigger in the service line.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's crazy.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I'd watch that tournament. Yeah. But we're going to dig
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: through the archives find interesting interviews and clips from the past,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: and I can't wait.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: I'd love to see some clips of the crowd. Yeah,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: my interviews with the crowd back then, to see what
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, some big hairdoos.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, big hairdos, weird accents. You know, the Aussie accent
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: is kind of chained, has it. Yeah, it used to
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: be a little bit more British.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, a little more proper.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Especially around the tennis.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: And now it just sounds like crispy.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Here we're.
• 33:00
