France TFO and I'm going to teach you how to hit a forehand just like me check it out Weston grip take it back and gets heavy and get under the balls again step in get good depth swing your arm through up the wrist heavy low the leg step in when it's short then just plant your leg and then you can send the ball as deep as you want loose wrist is always the key and gets really fast acceleration through the ball it's all about how you meet it and that's how you hit it beforehand see yall next time they were showing it on the TV the other day actually here the match with me and uh Sasha I happened to walk in I really don't know how I I was able to win that match so it was amazing to kind of pull that out got a lot of confidence from uh semi-finals here like a home tournament was just like the feeling was incredible and just couldn't even believe it moments like that are like the reason why I want to play tennis I was able to kind of just piggy back off The Confidence from being semis here and just continue to play well for the rest of the year I felt like I went up a whole level or two and just became a different player I you know I visualized like playing in like the finals of a grand slam and it's pretty crazy that you know I'm here now and just improve a little more and keep working hard and it might not being too far away from actually happening [Applause] [Music] [Music] hello everybody Welcome to tuned into tennis we are about to get into our live watch along and conversation for this historic US Open men semifinal between Francis TFO and Taylor Fritz apologies about the delay in getting us started the match is underway and Taylor Fritz just broke to go up an early break to love so here we are uh thank you guys for joining if you're in the chat on YouTube or ex formally known as Twitter uh feel free to say hello and engage with me throughout the stream let me know where you're listening and watching the match from it's always fun to see where you guys are in the world so let me know I believe I have some guests in the background or backstage whenever you guys are ready to join on the stage let me know if you can hear and see me um but yeah I'm excited for this match prime time at the US Open has been fun for the most part the last uh week and some change so hopefully this match is no different okay intro try to do a little something a little something let me switch some things up really quickly bam here we [Music] go are is my friend backstage ready can I get a thumbs up if you're ready no okay okay okay okay hey Karima hey can you hear me I can hear you loud and clear okay because I'm using something different right now um were you doing were you doing payroll see you know I figured well I was I was um but I'm using this now on my phone opposed to my laptop which I usually do so but now I can watch the match on my laptop gotcha but I don't because of the whole the whole ESPN Disney Plus or Disney debacle thing yes but it's on ESPN plus but for some reason I can't watch ESPN Plus on my phone which I normally can oh so now it's all forgot so now they just want they just want to make it very hard for us all the way around they do they do and guess what it's working it's working so yeah but uh hey there miles hi are you buckled in for what is hopefully a good match I am I'm buckled in ready to go you know is Francis it doesn't look like so far being already down love three you know we're going to see he's he's going to turn around he's shaking off all of the Jitters and everything this major moment for him but he's actually been there before Taylor has not but Taylor seems to have just kind of embraced everything thus far that's what it looks like he has and he has certainly embraced the the um how do I say this the just the simple matchup really between right TFO and Fritz I mean he leaves the head-to-head 61 TFO hasn't beaten him in an ATP match since 2016 so you know it doesn't from that from that angle it looks like Taylor Fritz's match to lose but there's also quite a bit of something that I actually want to get your opinion on there's quite a bit of something that happens um for Francis TFO on Arthur Ash under the lights so you never you I mean Sports a wild concept you never really want to underestimate that but uh as far as the first 12 minutes of this match uh Fritz is definitely the more stable of the two correct correct which I was actually kind of surprised because I I thought uh Fritz would come in kind of nervous but he's he's taking it in stride yeah and there we have it look at that there's the score right there for you uh let's see I have a a question for you karema let me go back to the comments and see who's all joining us uh let me remove this [Music] Banner having to be

cnj C&J is a new subscriber you can be just like cnj if you hit that subscribe button welcome C&J hope you enjoy our stream in this match uh the Harris is Right subscribe y'all it's the right thing to do and it's free but my question to you Karima yes I made this I made this uh kind of statement either on my podcast the other night or somewhere around the tennis atmosphere um do you get the feeling or do you agree with the fact that tennis players just have a certain genesy quat on certain courts in different tournaments well I would say that when you when you say that part I are you speaking about do they feel more comfortable when they're playing on a certain Court than others or I mean that's yes yes but are they more adapt to like bringing in like magic or like allowing the best parts of their game to flow out and I ask that because I can't remember a a man outside of the big three and like their respective places that they've done it I can't remember a man having that kind of uh those kind of intangibles tied to a specific place in a tournament like Francis on ash um he's he's good at the US Open period but on ash I think I've that's the best I've ever seen him play yeah well I think that's that's where his best results really when you think about it in a major I feel like is at the open and they're gonna feature him on ash as he plays better and so since he got he happened to be going up against someone who's already going to be on ash like you weren't put on ash because you were going up against tifo tifo was put on ash because he was meeting up with Carlos alar you know what I mean so that's why he was really there because his game really hadn't you know leveled up I would say well for the past the past couple of years I remember even as far back in 2021 he they put him on ash against rublev which he won and I think he lost the next match to Felix AR Alim those two matches were on Ash and in 2022 the big big breakthrough he beat Rafa on ash rublev was on ash again and then Carlos in the semis was on ash obviously the semi-finals and then last year a bunch of his matches were on ash either daytime or night time obviously the Ben Shelton quarterfinal was on ash at night but he's had some Armstrong in between there too but best tennis of Francis tfo's career as he gets on the board here 13 in the first set um has been on Ash and what it makes me think of is our good sister Venus Williams on Wimbledon Center Court because s Venus Venus could have won one tournament all year or no tournaments all year but when she got on Center Court at Wimbledon it was a different story almost every single time especially in those moments where wasn't as consistently playing on tour throughout the uh long long season but at Wimbledon she would kind of circle that on her calendar and her game would Elevate to the moment you know thinking back 2005 I think 2005 Venus had won an instable a title in istambul on Clay coming into W and that was it um and she turned it around she did it again in 2007 as a a low seed in 2008 she was defending Champion but she hadn't won a title all of 2008 so like those kind of things I remember as far as like okay she she may not be the most dominant Factor all year round but at this part of the season on this court you better take her seriously you know yeah well but then I think that yes I just think certain courts or venues or you know certain type of weather brings out the best in a player and as far as atmosphere goes clearly Ash always always brings that kind of energy if you are that kind of player that you know raises your level in that as well so yeah Ash is for tifo in this case because he he doesn't really get this opportunity so you know and he's he's he's admitted as such in some of his press conferences like I think the last one they specifically asked him like do you I mean I'm paraphrasing but they were like do you purposefully try to tr try to make your season step up in August and he was like I mean August is the time to shine and it's going to be hard for me to recreate the same kind of energy I get on ash if I'm out on the back courts of Madrid or Rome like not that he maybe there's some there might be some uh discussion here maybe he doesn't there he might not take those oh oh what's her name from Orange is a new black um yeah lever Cox lever Cox she's in the building and she's been to a couple of Us open sessions I like to see her I like that um but yeah Francis just doesn't have the same sprinkle to use his uh to use his signature at the European clay Court tournaments or some of the other tournaments around the schedule as he does in the states overall and it's specifically in New York so well but New York is its own Beast you know what I yeah so so everybody feels a different level of energy when they come to the open Period like you can ask any player they're like well you know going to the open being in New York it's just a different level and that's where yes they do want to shine they do want to really Peak but sometimes it doesn't happen for them but going in this is where they want to really bring it because of the atmosphere that the open just generates and you you know you don't have that same kind of feeling you know while you're in Australia like it's not I mean I think it's I think it's Australia has you know but yeah it has a Vibe and it's it's it's Case by casee person because I mean if you tell Alexi poin I'm sure Alexi poin loved some of the energy in his match against Novak jokovic but I can I can almost guarantee you if you ask him where he would really really want to play it'd be on Rod labor arena in Melbourne Australia you know so it's it's based off where you're from what connection is to all of that stuff right but I I'm sure him coming to New York he can say hey if I get on ash whoa I'm you know I'm living the dream buddy yeah living the dream so and and you saw that with his actual like reaction to Big Shots he actually was just like yeah like whoa that's that's the thing right there yeah exactly so you know that's what I'm just saying that the open being in New York these players no matter where they are from it is just another level we've been to the open and even on the outer courts there is a level of energy generated that I'm sure on outer courts that other majors are not really they just outer courts and you just be like all right all right but you I don't know I I think so I think it depends like I definitely think the US Open atmosphere is special but you know some of my European followers as they engage they say good things about the French Open and Wimbledon outer courts in the atmosphere oh Gail King she's in the audience cheering on Francis TFO as he gets a break back at two three in this first set playing a little bit better pumping his fist to the crowd now they're back on serve mhm back on [Music] serve so yeah I'm just saying that you you feel that energy on those outer Courts at the open like Court 17 that's just like yo grand stand it's another like woohoo even just those small because it's so intimate on those it's just another level of energy that is brought so yeah my thoughts no no that's what that's what you're here for Kara your thoughts Sydney Sydney are you in New York by any chance or have you gone at all this this uh this US Open let me know if you have Sydney Bill the thir yes Sydney Bal the third to be very specific so Whata your biggest your biggest fan is in the audience Mr Stephen hey Sten St what was your question Kima what were you gonna say what what is this um new music that you have um going on in the background is it too loud I mean it's let me see what it sounds like if the volume was lowered a little bit let's see it's I think it's literally at two yeah it's at two let's see what it sounds like at one I mean just It's Curious you know okay one is basically silent that's better no no I can I can hear it but it's not as intrusive that's all you know that one had a whole bunch of that one had a whole bunch of horns that one had a whole bunch of horns let me go to still let me try something a little bit more chill hoppy not hip hop but chill hop oh okay not not so much horny oh not horny but you know me that's what she said no but you know can you hear this one I can but it's a lot less intrusive so gotcha okay so maybe the horns section was just doing the most so yeah but now let's see uh is Melissa in the audience yes she is Melissa vong hey Melissa glad to have you glad to have you the Harris said he went to the US Open last year Harris what was your favorite match from last year let us know Melissa said Stephen I'm here for your comments too yes all commentary all commentary in the chat is uh is encouraged for sure as we watch this again as I say multiple times probably throughout the match a historic night for American men's tennis because I mean me and Kema will be the first ones to tell you we've been supporting American women's tennis since the basically the induction of time but America's American men's tennis has been a little bit tougher to support in these late stages of slams because they just simply haven't been there wow he made that that land Taylor Fritz yeah was out right I was like and Francis had a play on it and he let it go and you know on the next change over remind me to ask you how what are your thoughts I don't think I've ever asked you this what are your thoughts on Taylor Fritz wearing boss okay so we'll get back to that uh slowmo Stephen said my comments are mostly going to be drooling over Francis but I'll try to stay professional I mean I mean but that I I really do think that there's something like there's Merit there I mean I don't think Frances is on the level of where Serena was where Serena put on the legendary track suit and like every bar bar every black barber in America posted that behind their chair is like inspiration or just pure lust because that's what that was the experience Me growing up in the South getting my haircut like that I couldn't escape that picture um but for other for other demographics or whatever you're attracted to within that within that lane I think TFO being somewhat of a sex symbol is important like I mean we talk about the levels that that really come with being a professional athlete and being attractive and endearing to people whether it's physically or what you say or how you interact with people like you know all of that levels you up and makes you more um digestible like I like to say you know yeah depending on what your what Your tastes are right and and you used sex symbol it's he's at that level for folks I mean Francis has done some work with Calvin Klein uh shirtless and just in his drawers and I feel like you kind of get put into the category of being a sex symbol when you do stuff like that you may not be the you may not be the sex symbol but you're you're in the you're in the conversation okay all right I was I was checking yeah I mean when you when you have a very obvious uh musculature Advantage like Francis TFO has with his uh glut gluteus maximus that put you in the conversation as well okay okay for for me I just don't think he's reached the level of symbol well yeah a win a win tonight a win tonight and a good performance in the finals definitely helps him oh oh Taylor Taylor took a tumble but Taylor took a tumble but Francis won the won the point with the nice uh pass and you know Francis has even alluded to this uh throughout the tournament him and James Blake had a conversation I was glad to catch on ESPN like James asked him about like you know being in the gym his arms the sleeveless shirt he was like yeah I take a lot of pride in make you know making sure I stay in the gym not to necessarily bulk up but to make sure my game is solid and my physicality is solid you know because I mean when you when you cover the court like Francis and you have the initiative to always want to come to the net you have to be strong to do that in some way shape or form you know so yeah well well you want to be fit anyway you're playing tennis you you want to be in the best shape possible because you're doing a lot of running yeah it's all on you you can't you're not passing the ball to anybody it's just on you right your legs need to be strong you got to get up to that serve and just going back to Taylor Fritz and that spill he was sliding and just kind of lost that footing there oh look at Rory maroy in the um audience he's a he's a golf see how see how Francis and Taylor bring the people out well more Francis than Taylor I think but but see how they bring the people out everybody we went we didn't said a couple of different uh major either athletes journalists or celebrity uh influencers and whatnot but we also say that you know the US Open always brings out celebrities anyway look this stop trying to stop trying to belittle Francis in his impact no no no because no no no Francis definitely has a draw he does at the open once he really did his thing against alar you know everyone was pulling for him everybody wanted it for him because they just you know they love the fight and everything like that so he I'm not you know trying to poo poo on his celebrity uh PLL here um I'm just saying just in general the open does bring out a lot of stars you're in New York yeah okay and then Fashion Week and stuff so Fashion Week and going back to uh francis's fashionable glutes or what so what Stephen would say or James Blake would say dead ass you know Francis does have a lot to offer back there yes he does I mean even Taylor Fritz said that on one of those ATP like content videos they were trying to figure out which player silhouette went with which player and Fritz was like yeah it has to be Franc because his ass is huge yeah well he well he does have you know um he does have a train that it's it's not just a simple one you know we've got cards attached to it you know what I'm saying so yes yes get it basically he's dragging a wagon right he is so um yeah so that is going to create some attention and the fact that when you have kids that fit you properly and accentuate that fit then you know I know you guys hate this person but jokovic really does have a good fit on his kit you cannot say he goes in more recent years in more recent years it hasn't always been the case look look at Draper you know example today like that come on what are we doing here that shirt was way too big I'm GNA need you to cut that down some and actually have it fitted properly but um yeah so with francis's kits they're gonna fit him properly and so the the positive things in your body are going to really shine and so that's that's what's happening here that's what's Happening Here we have a we have a we have some comment this is an EXT sensive analysis of francis's [Laughter] wagon I blame uh miles for this one but well I mean this is this is the colorful commentary that I bring this is the this is the colorful commentary we talk about in tuned in the tennis so if this is up your alley make sure you subscribe like and share that alley that alley right H Sydney Sydney's on the court taking pics all right Sydney I know you better multitask Sydney B the you better multitask well I hope that you're posting some of them that you can because we'd love to share those um so we're gonna have to get on that and Francis does have a break point here so let's see if he can do it if he can do it yeah a long rally here can he stay focused in this I think the backhand to backand rally um if Francis is steady enough because he has been hitting that that back end pretty good there it is got it he could hang with Taylor yeah there we go up 43 okay look at Turn Around from love three love three winning the next four games bading that that's good that and and look and we to see the level hello get out of my head because this this is the level that we've been you know wanting him to get to to just be like hey you really lock in and you could do something at these Majors you could really make a dent so let's let's see granted it's still the first set and yeah a lot a lot of tenis left to play a lot of tenis left to play hey Coco hey who Coco you know they'll play her naked Comm oh yeah yeah yeah yeah times listen that that's money that's that's money they they paid to have it advertised so listen we're gonna see it hey Marcus I see you in the commentary for being here my guy I appreciate it wait Melissa do you have two YouTube accounts because this says just meliss and I don't know if it's the same Melissa that we normally interact with it could be um if not hi I don't mind having two melissas in the audience and yes he is very capable yeah it's just a lot of it has been what's between the ears because you know before his uh I don't know if you guys remember this but he had an injury uh sustained in the grasscourt season and that injury really allowed me to be like you know Francis really hasn't had too many extensive off thec court or off the tour moments because of injuries so he's been kind of Lucky in that regard um so a lot of it has you can't really go down to oh well Francis hasn't made a dent here because of injury which does happen and there's a core reason as to why certain players don't really Excel how they want a lot of it has just been his level of professionalism and in between the ears belief knowing how to choose the right shots in Big Moment moments I think he's had a process um in learning how to do all of those things in his own time comparative to what other people wanted for him you know or thought he should have been at a certain time right and so hey it looks like maybe he's finally coming into his own so I think making three I think making three straight US Open quarterfinals and two out of those three trips is definitely a on your way to making a dent kind of moment so yeah oh Stephen I just saw your uh selfies with the black spin Global t-shirt I like that I'm GNA give me one of those oh let me go let me go check this outter I would share but I don't think I would share but I don't think he want me to do that that's just I love hearing from John mackenro every day of the US Open I love that love that for me and us it's just so insightful well I have it on meute but I can hear him just vaguely just to make sure I don't miss anything right right yeah but I mean I do like commentary you know cuz they can add some color to match and everything but sometimes you you know depending on it's like right that's where we're just like can you [Laughter] just yes like Joe Scott said come on now okay I was about to say see the these are the points it's like you got to put that away you've got to put that away you allowed Taylor to get another shot and make you hit another unnecessary granted yeah he was up there kind of fun I do you know what I think it is you know I think uh Karima and I've been thinking about this tifo is a player that is actually unlike a lot of the current players on the men's tour he will use coming to up to the net and shout out to Xavier for planning the seed in in our podcast conversation the other day he's a player that just doesn't come to net off of great ground strokes it's almost like back in the day when players used to intentionally as a tactic come up to net to just to to because that's where they were comfortable playing and I feel like sometimes my critiques of him not necessarily winning the point when he comes up to net is because he is doing something that's against the grain whereas like if I would go to if I would rewind 30 years of course players didn't win every point they went up to the net because it was it was the norm like players just had better hands whereas Francis is pushing the issue and sometimes when you push the issue you win some points you lose some points you know so H okay but I do agree at the same at the same time there are some points where I wish Francis was a little bit more um Compact and stick volleys instead of trying to go for the ones that are always like delicate and soft right because because you're trying to be like oh look at that you just did ah that was a cool little shot like no like sometimes you have to just end the point like you have to do that because then you're allowing the door to be open and you're giving your opponent some confidence like oh wait look at him it got no confidence like me whatever that song is about um and I was like I don't know what that song is you never heard that song it's like all over Instagram Tik Tok and even the radio well maybe you didn't I didn't yeah I don't yeah I don't think I was the great greatest represent of that song but those that know no maybe all right I H Francis has let some things slip here in this game to consolidate he has a breakpoint of his own to save off oh Francis cfo's girlfriend looks really nice not uh excuse me I'm sure she does too but I was actually meant to refer to Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan riddle she looks okay I was like um they didn't show her but maybe you saw her at yeah she looks good she looks good oh okay all right now that now that's a way to get yourself back back on a good serve a good serve will do it for you right but again you know just you can't just let these because a break opportunity or bringing up being up a break is few and far between so you espe as you get later into tournaments like this is a semifinal like can't be messing around now well speaking of semi-final I think it's a good time to have this conversation as Francis goes up 53 and consolidates that break sorry if I ruined it for you Karima yeah yeah thanks a lot sorry sorry but the scoreboard the scoreboard is right there yeah yeah you know good job it's done now but you know what's not done yet it's not done uh because I think Francis I I don't want him to necessarily be having this on his brain but we can talk about it the fact that like Christian Court says uh tifo is chasing some unique history at tonight's US Open semi-final against Fritz he would be the he would be well he is the first americ he could be excuse me he could be the first Amer African-American male slam singles finalist since malavi Washington in 1996 and that's a smooth almost 20 years in of itself Oh wait [ __ ] that's almost 30 right yeah that's almost 30 years yeah sheesh yikes um but I mean hey you know yeah more power of Francis he'll be the first American male US Open singles finalist in 52 years since Arthur Ash in 1972 and man I really really really wish Arthur Ash was still here he was he was he's about the same age if not like a year or so apart from Billy Jean King and Billy Jean King sure is taking good part good care of her body she us said everything so I sure R Arthur as was still here yeah he he'd be right front and center for this I think and and uh the first black male slam singles finalist of any nationality in 16 years because Joe Wilfred sa was the last man in the 2008 Australian Open losing to jokovic so him Francis yafo winning this match although there's a lot of tenant left to play him winning this match would be historic in a lot of different context yeah and and it would just it would be great for him personally careerwise just to finally kind of like Get over a hump that you know so well you know speaking to give a little to give a little uh shine to Fritz and him coming over a hump Stephen ask a good question which is the better track record for the tournament Fritz beating bartini's ver of ru not necessarily in that order it was bartini then came R then came Z or tifo beating Shelton poin of the mov almost feel like Fritz looks better on paper I would agree I would agree that Fritz's matchups and him getting the win does look better on paper specifically because he never been to a semi-final of a major and kind of had that duck on his back not that tfo's draw was I wouldn't say easy uh because po has been playing the best sers of his career and demitro has been playing tennis as well um but he's been to it some before you know so but but also even the caliber players that Fritz had to go through as well I mean ver you may we don't like you know all that other stuff he's tough to root for but he's still a good player he's still exactly and rude you know rude seems to always just be in the mix every freaking place you know so it's not like not on grass you know I'm saying but it's not like Roode is you know unseated he's just he's never done anything you know so I mean and then bartini always packs a punch so um again I think definitely Fritz had the tougher Road I would say to to get here so and like you said it's his first time you know he's actually doing well in New York like so so yeah and like you said it's a good Max far going back going back to the score yeah no go ahead finish your thought sorry oh I was just gonna say Fritz still this is a major opportunity for him too and you know would be a great win for him as well to get to a final like this it would just be really great for him yeah and be honest I I'd kind of put Fritz Fritz and Jessica Pula i' kind of put in similar categories of like yeah they're going to be in the conversation carrying that American flag for quite some time because their games are just so solid amongst the other like the other competition that they're going to probably beat the players rank benath them more times than not and if you keep doing that you're going to find yourself in late stages of important tournaments but when they came up against the best of the best I wasn't sure and both of them Pula obviously getting to the final already has definitely made some strides in me adjusting that part of the conversation around her and Fritz has done that too especially how he played against the likes of bartini Roode and Z you know he was with he was with he was with them in those matches and didn't really shrink in the moment so right yeah uh it should I be feeling some kind of way that Fritz is um sponsored by boss because we didn't talk about oh yeah I forgot to bring that up on a change over yeah how do you how do you feel about that do you like it do you care does you look good on him well for him he he's not one that you know if he's in a kit we're always looking like oh wow that kid is sharp or you know oh that's fitting him solidly no he's never been one of those players that I've looked to that I've been impressed by any type of Kit so this is for me this is kind of just like BAS so boss is right now is just a basic type of look like I'm going to the office which is his tennis court so like there's no Ras ATT to it this is what it is it's Workman likee so you know but boss is uh you know I would say probably a classy label here but um yeah but it's just there's no bells and whistles here for it and you know what but to me that's kind of Taylor's personality he's kind of just laidback and just kind of chill so I guess this actually fits him and look at Francis triple set point but I'm of course it's probably already done if I were to look up at this scoreboard but I'm Not Gon to look uh so look at that he is if you're watching ESP SP he has three consecutive set points to close out this first set that he did not start off glittering he did not start off glittering and with a unforced error from Taylor Fritz he's asking for the crowd to get him yeah to give him some love his whole box is up and he's up AET in his second US Open semifinal against his good friend Taylor Fritz let's see if he changes his shirt yes he does ladies and gentlemen and now he to look at wack Nick curier who clearly is not dressed for the occasion unlike do you do you want to see Nick curios in a certain time no actually I don't even want to see Nick curios like let's start there let's just start right there like you don't need to see him he he needs to be you know in a courthouse somewhere like we don't we don't need him here at this and them giving him this opportunity I mean Alexander Stevens like she could this this was supposed to be her slot but clearly they ain't want her anymore and that's unfortunate I don't know who this uh beerbelly Mark is on Twitter but I just did a a quick search from Nick Heros and he said how did Nick Heros make it on ESPN are we just picking the most obnoxious experts possible at least Mack and roll one Tios and was the best in the world at one point Nick Heros had Z nickos has zero majors and never was a top 10 player you can do better ESPN well he's not wrong he is not he is not necessarily what I would call um I mean but I feel I do feel two ways though because like tennis does have this stigma of being very buttoned up to the very top right and Nick curios coming on air with a graphic T little bit of jewelry and a baseball cap to like talk to an audience who that's essentially their comfort zone I think that there is some Connection in bringing people to the sport in that way I don't necessarily think that he needs to do that all the time but I wouldn't be mad if that's like uh something he incorporates or like what a lot of people incorporate because tennis just for a lot of people still I mean you can argue that back if you want but a lot of people just kind of you know raise their nose up to to the idea of watching tennis and for some people ESPN or for some people that watch ESPN Nick curios is the he's made tennis cool guy you know so okay you don't you don't see that point I mean no there could have been [Laughter] others yeah c andj said tennis fans seem very particular C&J that is the tip of the iceberg trust me trust me particular is putting it [Laughter] mildly oh [ __ ] putting it mildly I agree Melissa that the first set was definitely uh important if not Dorn right Paramount for chfo to really feel like he has um you know a one foot into the final which is where he wants to be he he said it a couple years in a row he's going for it you know he he he really is going for it kareim will be right back guys uh let's see by the way Sydney brings up a really really good point here that about Nick Heros by the way he does it all the time yeah he has his audience and bringing new people to the sport but he really needs to know what he can do excuse me he needs to show what he can do on the court instead of running his mouth all the time yeah Sydney if he was able to uh merge his offc court Charisma with more onc Court success he'd really be cooking with Greece but now he's just kind of the guy that runs his mouth um and is known as a bad boy in that regard but not really a bad boy for his tennis because we're looking at two players right now on the court that have had more successful careers than Nick herios neither and made it to a grand slam singles final but L we forget Les we forget one of the reasons Nick curios got to that Wimbledon final is because Rafael Nadal injured himself in the round before and gave Nick curios a walkover into the final so you can't tell the whole story without in including that part but you know what [Laughter] Melissa I absolutely would rather Nick K be the guy the mic than John mackenro or like you say John Isner because that's not that's not what we want to see nope nope nope nope Noe nope NOP nope um we got some more friends and tuned into tennis fam backstage get me a thumbs up if you're ready to be on the stage if you can hear me whenever you're ready I'll be looking for that thumbs up okay we got a thumbs up and I think Karima is back from her stin being the awesome person that she is so let's add him back to the stage bam welcome back Karima and welcome to the stream Nigel what's up Nigel how are you I was like I need to go to my media room oh Lord oh lord I can't tell y'all nothing love it love it a quick call back right that some first set after being down three Z it was it was it was a nice watch it was a nice watch is that my phone playing music or is that a background noise here H that's it's background noise here I don't even hear it y'all really do you hear it I don't hear it it's on it's on it's on two the level of two look like I said one buts be picking stuff up okay I hear when we're not talking I do hear something very faint but I mean very faint it makes me feel like I'm waiting for the elevator customer service yeah or customer service yes or like a main menu of a DVD listen don't don't throw tomatoes at me because I want to give some Ambiance to our conversation okay oh no it's fine I just thought I was trippy because you know you you had a gummy and was wow you know see how people put your stuff on just putting all your business out there bear huh Nigel I do not you cannot confirm or deny okay I am so Sydney Sydney Sydney beill III asks if I if I'm on yard stream yes and no because I know what you mean but it's streamyard and that's what I'm on right now stream better I Ain going kind rolls off the tongue a little better let's see mallerie welcome back to the chat good to have you we were on a couple days ago we watched the me's match mallerie said Nick gives the impression that he is a great tennis Legend because he has beat the best players once upon a time but without a slam he is underachieved and it's weird to me that he doesn't seem to care I think he does care and the fact that he like he gets over the fact that he's underachieved in his life by being the little like kind of bratty and uh mean boy that he is because he cares and he knows that there's significant like gaps or you know lesser accomplishments on his resume than people who aren't who haven't never who's never been deemed as as talented as he is you know like Casper rou has been to three grand slam finals you've been to one and he talked Cash Money about how Casper R was boring his paint to dry or like watching paint dry did was that had a little yeah they had a little tussle they had they had a little tussled on ESPN I mean on uh on Twitter but I mean that that goes to show like Kevin Anderson has been to two grand slam finals and you've been to one you know um shout out to Kevin Anderson shout out to Kevin Anderson I like Kevin yeah Kevin was cool he had he was right there to win that me he was right there which which one was he gonna win which one which one is that I feel like I I think it was the open he played Rafa in the final I don't think he was close really no I don't know I don't know yeah now I remember he made that final but I don't remember it being close I just know that he just like completely just like lost his way and it was like Kevin Kevin like you had it you had it a long time ago huh what was the name of the guy that beat feder and like mono took him out I can't remember what his name was when when did he beat Federer I don't remember was that one s s yeah sod he beat Rafa at Roland gals not feder at Wimbledon he didn't beat feder at Wimbledon federa beat him in the 2009 French Open final to give him that career Grand Slam oh I feel like he beat someone else I thought he had two big wins his we oh he he did he beat Rafa on the way to that 2009 final but I don't know what other like really significant big I mean he was a top 10 player there after Ren definitely a threat but I don't know what other like prominent win he had besides that oh wait Karima if you change is your is your phone horizontal wait ver vertical try change it horizontal okay good I don't like this because I can't see crap you know so I don't think this app lets oh wait are you on a are you on an app Karima yeah oh yeah I don't think it changed for you I thought it changed for Nigel but it didn't change for uh like Nigel when you flip your your orientation did you did you just flip your phone or did you have to press something to flip your orientation of what oh like the it's called the orientation whether vertical or horizontal because you know how Nigel just went to uh horizontal yours has do it yours hasn't done that K but he's on the app so aren't you on the app Nigel yeah I'm on okay so what' you do I just turned the phone oh you just turn oh well let will let me unlock my phone then that might help that might help okay all right well I mean I was about to do that and then it was just like oh maybe you can't do it on this so let me are you not are you using the app or you using your laptop no I'm using the app but now okay okay I told you I can't use my laptop oh yeah you did say that um so let's see now oh there it goes there it goes yeah CA man I don't like that other view thank goodness took us a while but we got there we got there yeah I know I did I knew somebody was gonna make an orientation joke and leave it to shy flipping orientation was what I was going to do from moov if she won oh my God inappropriate inappropriate but but but as as we knew you know shy we knew we knew her prediction was not coming true but hey did we know that we humored her for a bit did we know that MOBA wasn't gonna win the whole US Open did we know that we didn't I was I was riding with that for a little bit I was I was and I mean for the first for the first hour and a half right she made Pula be the one pagul probably won't get there I've got other plans for us so kudos to that was a good match by the way did you see any of the um did you see let me look for it on Twitter I was I was enthralled in a I would I personally wasn't really that amped um uh I don't I didn't necessar get mad at this back it was more so me being sarcastic and kind of you know tongue and cheek but there was a YouTuber kusel he made some commentary uh on the tail end of that mova and pugula match I'm trying to bring it up here let's see if I can find it did we lose n he said oh I think he's coming back I think he's coming back kusel I don't think he's blocked me yet because that does that does seem to happen when I have uh words with people on Twitter he said that let's come on M because I'm I'm hearing ack from your feed so like in a bad way um well I couldn't hear like you were going in and out but you're clear now so let focus on that we're great okay cool Kell said uh this was you know during the leov and Pula semifinal he said mova hit some insanely good touch shots holy [ __ ] those back-to-back flick passes which you know that's that's fun ordinary mid-match commentary on Twitter that didn't really that didn't that didn't make any difference to me but then he said a lot he said a lot well he said he said some other things I can't yeah it's they can find the thread if yeah he said the level the women are playing is increasingly really rapidly excuse me is increasing really rapidly across the board deeper Talent more athleticism great matches becoming a really really good product we are seeing it in all women's SP actually big opportunities all around agree with him on the fact that there are big opportunities all around now um for women athletes but I don't agree that just because mova hit some great shots that in that paga match that there's deeper Talent more athleticism or greater matches than there have been for the past couple of years on the women's tennis tour that's where he lost me yeah sounds like he's new like he's new to tennis like oh this is my first match I watched oh my go look at that and then then then that's what I repli to be honest the level Talent atticism has always been there people have just finally put on their glasses thanks to other sports like basketball with Caitlyn Clark and Andre increasing in popularity um and the association pushing women which is a crucial part of the conversation the association pushing women's tennis hasn't been a smooth marketing machine comparative to the men's tour it just hasn't it hasn't it has he went on to disagree with that what do you guys think I mean well we can just see that in a picture that was posted by uh John what is that wor or whatever um the box it was just Lindsay in the Box for USA tennis basically for last night's uh match oh let me spy that and it's just like that is so like right there why wasn't the semifinal you have an American in the semifinal okay who's been who's been in the top 10 every week since 2020 yep she's not dipped outside of the top 10 since after getting there for the first time post roll on G 2022 she's been consistently in the top 10 since then and this is her first semifinal US Open how's my audio by the way am I okay it's janky it's janky oh no yeah hate that for me we we hate it for us well now sounds like you're okay now now you're now you're streaming nicely in the yard but um so but it was just Lindsay was in the Box Lindsay and you would think that should be packed all those seats should be filled in that section right there like come on this is this is one of your players this is what we're talking about where is the support you mean like for former players former USA players no just in like the US has people that work oh at the you know what I'm saying that whole section should have been filled up like where is everybody it was literally just Lind want the money they like you gota pay for this seat you you got have comped all this it's the USA they should but um it's go ahead go ahead n no I didn't even have much a thought I kind of lost it okay yet you say nope you are oh I think what I was GNA say is that people see a woman use a slice and all of a sudden but I'm like I don't get why she why mov is like getting all of that when I'm like con yeah supposed say an jaor plays like that shot I mean it's not common because it's not common in tennis at all so I don't understand why they um why people see that like she is fun to watch I enjoy watching her but I don't know why that becomes like the new like whatever you want to call it the new yeah and she's been around for years it's not like she's new right yeah but she's been injured a lot and stuff like that I mean every time it comes up every time because when was making it deep into the tournament they would discuss oh look at that H is the only player that really you know she's slicing and dicing constantly like we love watching her play but you know an had to pull out of this one so we have mova though as we you know yeah so but yeah it's it's just one of those things but hey they're on serve in the second set yeah 43 to Taylor and um Francis will be serving to stay on serve and he's doing get it to for all he is see in them rallies I'm sometimes kind of surprised at how much Pace he can absorb because he has that like kind of hitch in his forehand but he does a he stays uh he does well staying on staying on top of the rally in the back decides to use it even his shots look so un Orthodox I mean yeah but it's all about positioning and stuff and he he actually does that well like gets around the ball and stuff you're back nice to have you back is I think my internet had a problem because even my stream of the actual tennis on my television went out so I got kicked out too ear I don't know so there there was a reason okay there's always a reason I don't just I don't just dip out just for fun unless you go to chedds I can't tell yall nothing oh so what was it for last night though because we we know that it wasn't Cheddars it wasn't Wendy's it was not R what did I eat last night there's a there's a place here in Louisiana called leaders chicken just like a yeah a chicken joint it was good it's a chicken is my audio a little bit better yeah yeah what about video no the video that's always been uh clear it's the audio where we lose you okay yeah okay coming out with the ace all right let's do it let's do it I always want to know what he learned that Ser forfo I mean his Story I mean it and that really goes to show what I'm about to say is really the foundation of tennis matters so much like really really a lot because he picked up the he P he picked up the court he picked up the sport I should say because his dad was you know the maintenance guy so that that there entails that he really didn't have any one-on-one like oh this is how you set up for hit a forehand and you know prepare your wrist prepare your arm he was kind of self-taught until he got the you know coach the coaching that he needed but even even in that core of being selftaught a lot of things that you learn stick with you you know so right and and he's also you know peeking through the door and stuff watching different players and just you know so you're picking up whatever that player was doing and you're just picking up trying to mimic it and then the next player comes in and you're trying to mimic that so he's off a c really at that point you know I'm off same way growing up but I always just thought it was interesting how he throws his arm up and then it comes towards him I'm like how does he how does he toss the ball and then his arm comes this way that's why I always found kind of um interesting now I'm gonna pay more attention Okay that was a solid hole there from uh Francis I'm gonna watch it the next time uh Nigel just so I can really grasp what you're saying you know because you play tennis I don't I'm strict just a fan you know so oh is Boris in his box Becker Boris Becker nojo [Laughter] Cojo look we strictly tenis up in here right look well Boris Cojo he does play right and his you know Boris Cojo Boris Cojo was a tennis player before before anything yeah he played tennis in Germany yeah he was that's true this week from the the matches they were doing last weekend or two week yeah I mean but you know State Side you you know him only you know from his acting for being [Music] [Laughter] fine he's married to Tam right no that's Grand no no oh my now you just mixing now you just mixing up the beautiful black women just mixing them up no up the the men the baldheaded one Grill isn't bald he just has a he has a low fade oh but he might pry L yeah no you can tell can tell he has a hairline his hairline is there he just keeps it low and he keep it that low cuz it's almost bald Trust Me Maybe might have some Merit to that reason but if you saw him you're not going to say oh he oh he's balding you know just kid if you saw them both you'd be like oh these are some nice looking men right there oh see that's a volley he's got a make that's that's right there right there I think my stream is just a little bit behind you guys but that's okay because my internet does what it wants to do sometimes my the any other time because I haven't seen any Miss volley that feel like he should have made well it wasn't the volley but it was at the net oh yeah oh yeah yeah I just saw it he should have made that I fig that might C&J said mixing up the lightskinn people um the Harris the Harris 86 it's crazy how I've learned so much and I've only been following tennis for a year and a half well that's good I'm glad you found the sport and it it is it it can be a very uh quick and fast kind of learning curve so but I'm glad you're learning that's awesome I think we have another getting in I try I may not be like I may not be a good technical teacher but I can teach you how to follow the sport and what to look for I can do that um I think we have another another guest coming on the stream can I get a thumbs up if you're ready guest if you can hear me guest knock knock can I get a thumbs up who's this I need you to be a little bit more aggressive with that thumb there we go there we go be aggressive aggressive I was looking for sorry you were looking for what I didn't know if there was like a yeah that's why I was confused I was like thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up uh but hello hello hello hey how are you I'm doing good doing good you know after struggling with um Direct TV you know we have coverage so hey here we are so how are you watching the match now with the Direct TV struggle well they finally put stuff on plus so ESPN plus so now I can actually yeah continue to watch it because earlier they weren't putting stuff on ESPN and ESPN plus gotcha so you were just kind of so if all you had was ESPN plus so CJ said confused about the plus so yeah I know right CJ said I started watching Venus's YouTube channel been highlights and now full game see it always starts with something I love that the progression the progression is great at that you know oh look Andy rbit oh was he he was sitting next to um Tracy Austin watching the match in the oh I forgot look we're all on even though I'm watching it on ESPN yeah I'm like a strong I'm I'm a strong 20 25 seconds behind now because I'm just now seeing a Andy R yeah I see him now yeah but I um so I created a whole um UTV account because I was gonna watch this m uh this match by hell hot water that's right but there behind the ESPN plus Stream So I switched and even appar who's who Tobias can you turn your phone ringer off you got us buddy you got yeah it was loud do not how about this there we go do not disturb definitely helps well TFO is now serving to stay in this second set Fritz has definitely found his stride a little bit more um let's see what happens the critical part in the match I think I mean you're watching the score or are you watching the match I'm looking at ESPN watching the match oh okay because he just got to 1530 so but okay yes I think mil the score on here is quicker than the fee oh yeah the score that the score that I'm sharing is quicker than the actual feed for most people at home the feed the feeds at home like you see on television is usually on like a five or 10 second delay which in tennis is huge like five or 10 seconds you know so well but you but the way you said it was that he's serving you know to stay in this set and it was just like well I mean it was just 1530 you made it sound like well oh he had a break point oh no no no no no he is but he is serving the state in the set if he doesn't hold he's not going to be in this set yes but it was were like that's why I was like are you seeing a new you know miles be in the future sometimes so oh well look now he is facing that I do have my back sometimes be on my Raven backer sometimes that's fine I need them to zoom out to see where rodic you know what I want I want the court I want the court angle um that they showed sometimes throughout this tournament that's what I want on this match I can use right like this serve angle yeah yeah like well you can it's just a different angle of watching the the ball comes in yes I can see the spin and trajectory of the ball a lot better yes yeah I I like that um what you call it that angle me too me too me too me too me too oh huge serve there I like that they use that body serve Tobias can you Tobias or Nigel can you guys lower your ESPN uh commentary just a little bit for me yeah so we can hear uh miles's music mut it it's not that loud I was kidding on that oh my God I was now we got theme music now I was like mine is really coming up in look it's not theme music but it's Ambiance you know yes Ambiance just a little bit of something something let's go let's go Francis let's go you know see David say he I'm not changing up my coaching style for nobody y'all just gonna have to get with it I I tell the kids to body serve all the time get a body serve body serve yeah the body serve is just something that's not common so when you really get it when you get it hit at you're like oh [ __ ] I I haven't seen that in a couple service games you know that was a good after him coaching Venus for so long and Venus being on tour for forever in a day that people would realize if David is coaching them I'm probably gonna get a body serve at some point you know K almost lost her life so you know if if that's not a cautionary tale I don't know if pigula ever used the body serve like that but I'm quite sure he called for it I'm just she probably just didn't use it well back in the day her first service used to pretty low so because look Joe almost lost life at in when v g break right here oh you feel it you feel that I think so okay let see get this [Music] point he had to get that point but he didn't he had a chance to yeah oh what's FR what's Fritz talking about since I've got on mute he he went to the chair what's he saying well K you remember you're ahead of everybody so you you're the only one that knows let me that make it seem like he um hold on let me see oh uh oh I meant to look up the chair um who uh who kind of like ran into me after I was leaving the match um um oh who do we watch it was a doubles match or whatever that he was Taylor and working and Donald was it that one no it was it it was not it was um I want to say it might have been the cupsy one the oh the third the Venus ksky and Venus one um but he like he you know he ran into me but he was very apologetic for what whatever um but I was like oh wow he really is handsome wait who but I I'll have to find him um but uh yeah I was actually thinking hey I should probably get a selfie with him but um I did not Who's the who who you which chair ire are you talking about I don't I don't know I is he the one doing this match he is not but I was waiting to see who was doing this match and to see if it was going to be him um and it's not but I I will definitely I don't think that I don't think that Greg guy from Cincinnati is doing any he may have done a couple of matches during this year open but oh no he was here he was there oh okay he might not be doing he might not be doing the Prime Time stuff for a while a quarter he was doing a quarter I think go ahead he know they give them ratings I wonder if they ratings after having those two backto back incidents just not Uber ratings no how you get the chair like the finals is if you have like a gold rating there was only like four of them who had like gold star ratings that's why you always see same in the finals like Allison Lane and all of them because they they're the only ones who have like goar ratings El shout out to all 650 plus of us in the Stream by the way

okay yeah that one got a lot of traction for a a random reason I just said she was a gold medalist because she is one she is indeed one of those she is oh the re oh you know you know what helped it Khloe Bailey replied to it yeah that's what yeah yeah yeah yeah you walked right into that one great those US Open shoes that the ball boys or ball people in the referees are wearing look like clown shoes hate them no they actually look kind of cool in person can't relate to how they look on television no because a friend of mine is um he he he works he he's not a a ball kid or whatever many many moons p that but he uh well you know they have have older ball people I say I seen some 30y old ball kids so I got to right right but I'm saying he's not at you know but I got to see the shoes up close and I was like you know what those aren't that so it was it was a nice it was a nice look all right now Francis doing what are we doing right the first point he was like walking into the net I'm like can you close if you going to if you going to be up there right but you know his auntie like to walk places on the court too so you know it's listen it's one thing to yeah it's who you might look up to and all that but if you're not there yet then you you can't subcribe to all of these things you know what I'm saying like you got to get this you're correct you are correct Jill stay with that sweater around her neck I know that she does this a love 40 like this this is this is that dip right now that we're that we're witnessing I don't I don't understand like where it came from that's what's mom has beautiful skin her skin is I mean Francis has good skin too but Francis mom has beautiful skin well well well we all said well I mean do we really think this match was gonna be straight sets for either one of them come on now but but a love 40 I mean and and how did this dip happen like what what happened that all of a sudden I I don't understand can can we can we I mean Fritz played that last Point very well can we can we give some frit some credit maybe he didn't have a bad set his set was good yeah was Fritz he he let Fritz be more aggressive that's what happened well that he also didn't I don't think he made the best choices on the shots but yeah that last point was definitely Fritz yeah and then there was a double fall he closing and like coming net he he walked into the net like fre hit that amazing ever pass shot it was a good shot but he had time to get it if he was closing correctly so that's three points right there I don't remember what the fourth one was we got lovely Nick curios back on the screen I know that's right about not they have two your favorite people covering this match I know you're super excited am I yes I can see it all in your face you like they don't that that first point of the game Nigel was a huge shot from uh Fritz so oh but it's because Francis was walking into the dang nck you going how you behind the service line trying to return like get a volley yeah like he also let um Taylor stand a little more and just hit which is not what you want to do you gotta move the big guy you gotta yeah Taylor was out there playing like he was lindsy de for just swinging well he Ser this set so Francis will be serving from behind so hopefully he breaks him early hoping it okay well you know now it's Even Stevens here we go shout out to Steve a three set a three a three set shootout next next person to win two sets wins this match so it's okay I know one thing though when this match is over I'm gonna get me a daker I know that much yeah and sweating and all over the court like Jack Draper and Y didn't Draper puke twice let's let's address that why did you conversation why did you turn to the front of the crowd like at least the board when she did it the two times she did it matches she turned her back and did it behind a bush and towards the board why are you just daylight just I I think uh Tobias on that I think he just it was one of those like oh shoot I'm about to throw up and had no time to to turn around yeah that's not fun that's not fun it was just like you know you thought you were okay and then I'm not okay but then when they tried to stop playing he like no no I want to play no I'm good I'm good it's cleared me now you know oh beack is in the chat be quacky just brought up a good point he said this match is 90 minutes and we are at one Set uh one set a piece this is fast I agree you know been officially an hour and a half is an hour and 27 minutes yeah know Francis don't like to take breaks in between points so well I don't know where his mine go sometimes but yes I didn't say he shouldn't I just said that he doesn't he has an opening here a little bit of an opening on Fritz's Opening Service game in his third set I'd like to see what he does here why I they me excuse me that damn drop shot is tired it it it was it's one of those again not that shot not right now not at this time you let up yeah he just he he got out of it it's just like yeah dude stay stay with it why are you the first to believe too much too much cat and mouse like I don't I don't he's really good at cat and mouse but you gotta you gotta pull the cat out of the bag no pun intended when it's time to Taylor was not was inside the Baseline like you yes he wasn't that he wasn't that he wasn't that far away he should have been the person that came to the net not Drew Taylor into the net net point right or push him back get another heavy ground stroke then do it yeah I mean well you know that was a good makeup for there what's girl's name from uh oranges the New Black yeah is that her behind she's in the audience they showed her earlier okay happy to see you and and the um the other actress sitting next to her is from survival of the thickest you can catch that on Netflix and we've got a season two which is fantastic um yes and I worked with leverne Cox as well on inventing Anna which is also on Netflix oh yeah um yeah so uh did a little bit with her on oranges a new black only when I was filling in for another payroll account but that was it um yeah but hey just meliss is your birthday December 27th M house I'm just shouting you out's where do you see that where do you see that commentary oh yeah look at that um just meliss I I I was just um reading some of the uh oh 122 7 okay I was like wa did she mention her birthday okay I was like what that's an amazing forehand to break serve Francis TFO at that down the line down the line yeah that was great my guy great so so now you know it's not a break if you don't consolidate you know this is true this is true this is true I've heard it he took it on the rise he flattened it out yeah caught Taylor slipping I love his yanx bag by the way the colors on that racket are amazing yes Stephen I did N I know oh n left he'll be back I know he likes to check out the kids I was GNA ask him how much um Francis kit was running for oh yeah how much is

that drop shot like are you tired right this well this is what we're saying it's you you've got to just stay in it it's one it's one point but like one point in a match where you've split sets can be a difference you know so you know funny enough David W is probably the best coach for him because you know David don't be fased by this because he had Venus so he' be like yeah they gonna get it back it's gonna be okay oh that crosscourt backhand is lethal come on Francis this is the angle I wanted to see by the way did y'all see how that backand barely got across barely got over the net and he

when Quran says something at the end like affirming himself affirming himself is crazy okay that's say if I don't do it nobody else will I know that's right what the song say you sometimes you got to Min minister to yourself see sometimes you have to encourage or yes hallelujah hallelujah Hall yeah amen amen she tore that song Down okay she sure did this is song is that not always it's it's called

Sports Connect that's Karima that's not scary T Uncle St how is Amanda in the chat tonight she was she was shy was in the chat I'm not shoty that's her YouTube name oh like you couldn't even uh recognize the voice that that's where I would but apparently not yeah I'm making I'm making notes now uncle Steve just so you know noted Karima said you on The Hit List next time I see you in spaces I'm Coming For You P that Serena don't look my way don't look my way ugly within you got and you're ugly on the inside you gotta hit it felt that thing on the inside like girl doing not that stuttering that's how that's how you know really upset she was trying not to cry like even andrasi pissed you off that bad Serena even as Rocky sorry she looking Venus wasn't on the court because she was ready to call Venus okay don't make me don't make me call Venus know that's that's the muscle we Serena Serena all talk but the muscle if Venus store that's that's the muscle not the eony star now we're going to need Francis to stay stay locked in here you gota hold if he just makes Taylor Fritz moov I mean Taylor Fritz is not the best mover right right has gotten better though to theet either he doesn't like to come to the net either but Fran been hitting some [ __ ] boy um drop shot so I mean seen of one good one well you know um all I know is Taylor better do all the sliding that he doing on this US court do USA shirts make yall cringe or is it just me USA shirts make me cringe who got a USA shirt on USA shirt or like they showed a man with like an actual flag as his shirt like the American I I ain't that patriotic I'm only patriotic doing the o and and I don't think I've ever would purchase a USA say yeah you not technically you're not supposed to be doing stuff like that like yeah I thought that was against the law it is not the law is it against the law C L1 yes we just call we just call him C&J oh okay yes a drop shot is when they lightly type it they lightly dink it over the net with the intent so it to be soft and uh with some backspin say bonus if you get some backspin on that sucker and it come back over the over the net my God you know this is probably the best that Francis has served since he made his uh semifinal one two years ago but I'm saying we here for it we here for it we here for it he got the taste of what it was like when he faced Carlos a couple years ago didn't get it and so I have cough this US Open his revenge tour you know okay we love it we love it if it happens we we really do once I saw that Ben Shelton lineup I said okay the stars are aligning look I'm not gonna I'm not gonna call any names since miles you know says I called that name too much but let him do it that person's gonna be working overtime I didn't say you call her name too much I can said you're a big fan you can say you can s Jill you can say Jill's name all I know is the deals are on the table he just needs to cross the finish line okay I mean just think about the sponsorships that will come already table literally they you to do hey look they were set up on a table ready as soon as they bust the confetti and he leftt the trophy you say I need you to step over here real quick just right over here yeah be quacky um no I I think uh it's just a you a USA t-shirt like an actual whole entire flag on your shirt that's kind of just like e other countries it just it doesn't you know it doesn't hit the same when it's just tacky it's just tacky it's tacky who got that much USA prize um people don't look like us let's just say that okay Stephen you got USA PR like that I did say he would lose to Shelton in round three Uncle Steve I I stand on that yes I said that because I really thought that would oh wait I read that wrong it went five and guess what there uh the eventual winner was Francis so it happened now what not now what Kar got the kid out the house she just her her husband she she been real relevant to the kid that went to college she ain't got to monitor herself anymore okay she ain't got to cook dinner no no order din make sure people in bed okay well wait cooking dinner no you know the husband he he's more of the cook I'll cook sometimes but he's more oh he cooks God oh and that's just dinner for two oh yeah he really bed us chefing it okay it's just dinner for too and you know Kima is fancy she likes steak and caviar and lobster wine a nice a nice white wine to go with dinner first not I not you too not you too good for Ros Scot Karima no I'm really a Moscato person like I can drink Moscato but any other kind of w I'm not a wine drinker so I'm really social with it but I'm not I'm not a drinker really so this drag Draper center match I hate I I love the color of Draper's kit I just hate how he sized it because you asked for that and that's what made like that is a a 15x shirt on him give me a 3XL even though I barely wear medum okay like so that's exactly you had you know you sweat and so you just it's but you know what I get it I just saw the vision his name is drag jper and he wanted it to I didn't see the I didn't see the vision he wanted to Drake on his body because he keep to adjust it what was the vision see what he was trying to do I I don't agree look I don't agree but right it was just too much uh well we've got we've got uh Stephen let's let's get it it says let's say it's Francis in the final against Yanik didn't yannik and Francis have a match a year or two ago when Francis was getting the crowd going and yannik didn't love it uh you guys are more of the historians in that respect so I was that at Cincinnati just a couple weeks ago no I didn't watch I didn't watch that final I did not watch that final now this seems like this could have been a couple of years oh it say a year or two ago sorry yeah we're gonna wait for miles to get back because this more miles uh Stephen we are not the historians of the group well well we've got Melissa in the chat confirming that that happened active in the chat we love that is a statistician if there ever was one it was an indoor tournament she has specified so there's that oh and they said um we've got rocky VI B like there who says it might have been Vienna so which is crazy if it was in Vienna and they were going for Francis opposed to Center that's well he he got apparently he got the crowd going hey you know giving the people what they want like Jay-Z and you know Kanye say gets the people going here there you go it's the this is impressed with serving this is really great serving by him yeah because he was uh I don't know if we can change the stats than you okay 42 Francis is leading 42 all right just hold my apologies for my abrupt exit I had to me and my dog had to have a conversation because he didn't ring the bell he didn't ring the bell did not ring the bell trouble he he has a bell yeah he is Bell train so whenever he hits the bell I know to take him outside yeah but he he he a do that today he he started to piss on my flow do you have hardwood do you have hardwood or yes I do have so it was hard so you know I just took a little mop over there but now he now he in his um crate right now cuz uhuh that's time out yeah crying whining a little bit looking sad oh oh again oh my God you've got to make this B you're you set up the point for yourself like you're the one dictating here and did he try to do too much did let me see no he didn't try to do enough he didn't exactly he again it's trying to trying to drop it yeah just like come on just punch it into the Open Court just like you did that first one punch it we you know Taylor is not getting his ass out of that other Corner andly he's already once already so he's not getting his ass out of that corner right he's already off balance and everything so you just gotta put it back into the court really oh yeah well well damn hello Mark hello Mar hey y'all sorry I was back I had to adjust I had to adjust some things sorry is is this the media room uh this is part of the media room yes it is you're the you're the second person on this damn stream to bring that up I hate y'all I just need I just need a dollar cuz I need a I want a medium room it's not that fancy if I zoomed out you be like oh what is going on here well look look you got some trees back there you got decoration it's literally it's it's it's two fake plants and a it's two fake plants and a LED uh light I got in my computer room do you have a stream uh what is it circle light ring light there it is actually have two box lights that you guys can't see so you got two lights see me your room come on take my bra and ask look I have a I have a lamp that's what I have okay I got my I got my ceiling light okay ridiculous I can make it a little brighter a little brighter and you got a remote control I know right but go back I like I like the dim light go back me too well T Taylor's keeping in contact he should not have P that serve but you know I mean he has a bit he is a good sir we know we'll call call whatever oh NC State play them tomorrow that's gonna be a good game let me wake up at 7:30 pm. amen we gonna try to get you tuned in the tennis this fall while you're tuned in the football and stuff oh Cy that's very hard because I can care less about what's going on over there in China here because everybody don't even go so J is gonna be a very prominent thing to watch I know you like her a little bit no okay I got a little issue with Jin chin wi but you have issue with anybody that beats Angelie Kerber which is a lot of people a lot of people my issue with her is that she should have let Venus win that match last year at Cincinnati when v six love four love brother cuz girl why did you why did you have to act like you didn't know how to play for 10 games and then out of nowhere you want to start just coming back I thought you g to say your issue with her is getting druged by S every time I thought that well well that's another issue but I don't [ __ ] with s either like that so I didn't care I want you to act like you know how to play tennis let's watch our language oh is this family center my bad this Ain this is not after dark my bad this is tip before this is tip before 10 I know that's right not stepen giving me Sten giving me some uh room Raiders room Raiders how how what's the rate for his room for okay he said you know is that better Stephen he a mess oh he I guess he was trying to Center you in between the pl I think that's what he was going that's that's what I want too but you know here we are now why does she had that hat on like ain't no son who who who is it Divine Joy Randolph Academy Award winner the holdovers I don't yes more but I don't know who that is I don't know or what the holdovers are or or what yeah I don't know what that is sorry it's a movie it was really great with Paul Giamatti know she she was fabulous in it it was it was really a heart I mean you could get emotional in the in the watching that okay but what was the reason for wearing a hat well what's the reason of people wearing shapes out there well I don't know I'm just they look ass take them off take them off I'm just just take it off okay my since since you are back um question yes um is Francis still leading Taylor in the Ace category I can look at the thing I can look at the the stats right here um aces are uh six to five tfo's leading six to five got one double that's right it's honestly it's honestly been a high quality Mech so far to be very honest but going into the match you would most people would have said Taylor would have had more free points off the well I think a lot of people didn't give tifo a chance in this match based off of their head to head really a lot of people did not you should have saw tennis Twitter today oh France is gonna get toe up fr is going to get toe up and I'm like sure about that word definely in the dark cuz I didn't I didn't see there you go Tobias yeah I saw that um the percentage on the uh the tennis app also said 55 yeah 55% towards uh Taylor winning the match so very few were picking Mr Francis Tifa interesting I mean but to be fair to be very fair Fritz holds the head-to-head 61 so I mean he was gonna get tow up like drug fair fair fair because even in some of those even in some of the losss that Francis took he said he probably should have won a couple and they were tight you know they were tight yeah and I'm like this is what Francis say this is his house I know that's right he add a little more flavor to it than that but yes well yeah it is funny to watch the quotquot number one American player play the fan number one yeah because I mean Fritz like Fritz likes this court and he loves New York but I feel like New York loves Francis just that little bit of percentage more like Taylor but he's just he does prefer LS Armstrong but that doesn't mean he doesn't like the New York crowd because I mean usually New York the New York crowd that can get inside Armstrong can get inside Ash um but Francis likes Francis likes nighttime on ash yes yeah but if y'all think about to Fran's run two years ago where they were one and two the one Americans Francis was getting number one treatment even though number one so I think for the vast majority of people they view Francis as the number one then and now they're kind of playing each other and it looks a little different now well well but also um just that run that Francis had gone on you know Fritz wasn't really in the mix yeah yeah but he was top right top 10 but he wasn't going up against the an even bigger star in Carlos or whatever like he wasn't going up against the players that Francis play he didn't play Ra yes but also um the personality wise Francis has more of a personality than Fritz does and you're but also you're in New York and the US Open kind of knows you know what he's gonna be box office there he's gonna bring in a little bit more if we put Taylor there it's just kind of gonna be don't really Klay Thompson Francis see is the only reason Klay Thompson is in the house tonight he is not there to see Taylor Fritz Kay Thompson is there yeah Klay Thompson's there you didn't see that I didn't see that yeah Clay is there Sydney was also in the stands just said if y'all could just hear it in this Stadium though the energy is off the charts I love that uh I love that love that so much Karan by the way Karan you giving us a lot of feedback when you move around because of your headphones by the way oh my bad I need to go I need to charge my airpods so I can stop using these five right like I don't understand why they're just not being charged but anyway um but well damn Kara well drag me Porsha drag me but um but so I've I've had this on mute is the crowd heavily on tifo side or are they giving love to Fritz as well since they're both they're doing both but you can definitely tell that they're Pro Frances as they should be right right okay it's like it's it's it's almost like watching a William sister match like they're cheering for good points but where in a William sister match like nobody ever really was like just super excited for somebody to do really well they're super excited a little awkward yeah it a little awkward so still that it giv that awkwardness because it's you know it's two Americans and it significant for either one of them to win and go to the finals so they're like it's a win-win whatever however Francis does something worthwhile they're like yeah they're really getting behind it yeah I wonder if y' girl Sabrina's uh in the audience again this evening well no that's true too Stephen so not Kema reading chat well what we were supposed to be doing yeah somebody somebody wants to do it but you because you know Kima likes some multitasking anyway you know I wouldn't I would buy this Francis TFO kit I I would pay $45 yeah it's cute oh is that how much how much no I know it's not just a shirt just a shirt because right right now the complete set with the headbands about 125s I got headbands okay okay look I have my own headbands I don't need oh what a what a forehand oh Lord oh Jesus what a forand is right Kara not too much cuz he he had a nice little forehand over into that corner and the point should have been over he didn't put enough he did not put that ball away exactly he well once again we're back to the you've got to put this one right here but hey but hey let's also give foring to hit one more shot right because Taylor was hustling I call I'm yeah I'm call but those are the points he has to win Tobias he has to win those we you are absolutely correct no one is disagreeing there however I could understand why Francis was like now wait a damn minute get to that yeah cause you ain't never okay Francis serving now Francis love 30 now Francis she had a on a what what is what the [ __ ] oh Jesus what do she got on is that his girlfriend with that black on oh wait come on now Francis come on miles's score is like two seconds ahead of the actual yeah me sorryish yeah okay okay okay all right we need a first serve though come on who was that next to his girlfriend in that black is that Taylor's Mama Kathy May his Kathy May his mom does uh often in the Box he's often K May is I think her her be Kathy but I don't know if her middle name is May oh my God is it really c yeah for Macy's Mouse Tobias that's really his mama name I'm gonna fall out because I actually I just her because I was like I want to know if his parents are still together and they're not that not Google me Shaq and no they're not and he was her third hasb been quiet as his kept okay so is that Taylor daddy which which one is Taylor daddy all right all right I'm really asking not he not in well he's not sitting next to the mama he not in the Box May right yeah right he not sitting that's to Kathy May no no no no no no Melissa you are correct Kathy May has gone under the knife quite a few times and all have not worked out for her clearly Kara well Bianca Andress you as well so come on come on now way to come back after being down love 30 come on we could a few years ago like a year ago we couldn't but we could two years ago two years ago he was good for it is is Jill with is Jill with Jesse pag too uh no no why would she do this well I don't know I'm just trying to figure out where this Lucky Brand came from for all of them energy it's an energy drink Melissa uh yeah I'm trying to figure out how Jesse got there as well like as well look he has a agent agent that's I'm trying to figure out I trying to figure out if Jill did the same deal that's it I wasn't trying to be Shady so if they have a with like the bills or somebody of course just they G throw just a shirt is what I'm saying right okay other connections all right well let me go let me go plug in my airpod so that Karima can quit dragging hold on all I'm saying is you didn't have them plugged in charging while you have on your five do ear you know what out of here out first of all these are these are still iPhone okay these still iPhone they cost $19 at the St okay you said you said $5 they are $5 yes but no because I leave my car I leave my car keys in my car has sent you to your room to charge your headphones yes well okay let me go in there because that's what Ash said so let me take him out of top uh timeout too no who said Jill was repping with who said that Melissa no she's there U Melissa saying that uh David Whit is wearing the lucky not deal but we're saying probably get the deal cop that copy that that's what we were saying I'm with you I'm with you yeah so two sets to one oh yeah don't wear any uh any merch because you know she ripped so many players and different other Ventures she can't can't be crossbreeding like that cross breeding jeez well he is from Texas wait DAV is from Texas no you oh oh very much so very much so wow miles are you doing these on the am I doing what are you doing like little backgrounds on the fly like as we speak are you making those well this is just a a a a shared screen from Twitter but yes I am trying to find different things put my background yes all right so H okay what do we think is happening in this fourth is this the potential final set here it is but you know game by game even Point by point point by point game by game Kema if Francis can do what he did in this F this third set and get the break early I think so because I think the crowd would cheer on yeah however if it's tight I feel like the crowd will root for a uh a fifth set so take the crowd out well not take the crowd out of it but you know take Taylor's fans out of it yeah I mean it's still been a competitive match like it hasn't this hasn't been easy so right um a couple of critical points the points that Francis us loses in this matchup he's winning tonight so far for the most part except for that second set right right so okay yeah 64 64 you know or are still tight s and he but I do like that he served it out yes they should give him some confidence going into the next head he's also been hitting I feel like he's hit his serve harder and placed it better again in this match like I don't think he he maybe hit 130 in the earlier rounds but I don't think he's hit 135 in the earlier rounds like he did I think twice already tonight okay yeah C&J I'm I'm with you like we've all had a long week it's it's been really crazy but um yeah so let's let's see if he can do it oh yeah because if he if he go ahead and knock this out I can go get a as M said a nice little drink I'm I'm hungry and I don't even know what I want to eat right now I'm also very hungry looking real dominoes is because they gonna be open and it's gonna be quick you said dominoes you're doing Domino okay and what do you usually get from dominoes so um thin crust uh pepperoni banana peppers thin crust yikes okay I'm not I'm not a big bread person give me some rice some potatoes gravy again Texas well that's why I figured also Texas that would be a bread type of deal you know the hardiness of everything but clearly no you're a thin cruster look at that um it just it doesn't have any sauce on it so like unless I'll do stuff Cris but okay all right we'll we'll get off that particular uh topic but that but that's an interesting combination the pepperoni and the banana peppers you said yes interesting that goes together very well actually well I well since you know I don't eat pork so oh we're fancy we're Fancy no look no pork on my Fork however I I would probably try that with just ground beef with the with the whole you know the saltiness and the spice of it as long as you like like because I've tried it a couple of different times um with different Meats as long as you do the red sauce and not anything else it tends to play very well across the board okay yeah it's when you try to it's only red sauce like we're we're not switching that up so oh with jalapeno as well look at that coming in okay yes galapo come on galapo or the hot sauce I I I do like it when they do uh when I put the hot sauce on it however it's I just use my own hot sauce instead of having them do it okay all right why is Francis tfo's mom Alina looking so worried I mean I'm sure she stressed why does she look exactly like that what is happen she's probably just nervous oh yeah okay no that was point all oh was it during a point yeah it looked like there was like a steal from yeah yeah oh okay okay like what what happened colge Park Maryland cheing on their little come on T and Boris Cojo is in the Box they sure are in the Box I that's right now we're adding hot honey okay Melissa she's got the whole order oh there's clay okay Mel you might have to look I might have to steal that to first but first off clay ain't ever been to no US Open before it's okay he's there now well Kima he also a more free time right now Kara yeah he can take in the sites right now well I'm actually surprised that Curry was didn't take in the open at some point because he's been on the New York tour out here so that's why I was I was say is he out there yeah he was on stepen coar wait why is there such a long break between sets did is Taylor Fritz on his eag swch no FR probably CH kid Francis changed too oh Francis left the court too okay okay okay I love pizza too Melissa miles you know uh Francis goes through oh yeah I know I know I know he does I know I should have I should have did the restroom break with them because now I gotta go I'm almost look I'm almost done with my water so you know how much do you drink a day uh 64 oun or more but I try to at least hit the 64 ounces uh that's right you know I'm missing a Stanley Cup I had two I don't know where the other one went I just do not know I don't know if I left it somewhere or what but I'm I'm very perplexed it was the cuter color of the too but you know standy cup comes with dime the do I guess whatever apparently you like is it really necessary to spend that kind of money on a water bottle like one was a one was a gift one was a gift and one was uh bestowed upon me let's just say that bestowed well you know Kima that that's that 64 is a good number to uh to intake I usually do that one billionaire one billionaire one janitor son in the finals of the 2024 US Open

big Point well you know it's still it's 15 all but it was still you know a nice see 1530 miles he stay in it miles no his backand his his backhand is being so steady tonight like the backhand volley not so much so but the backhand Cross Court against Taylor down the line that up keep that up down a line Tobias beautiful he kind of bunched that backand but he's swinging tonight well here come one down the line for [Laughter] you the body the body it was into the body come he got his name his Ean bottles I know that's right big fo he got his name on what bottles his Ean Evan and that's how I say it and I don't care what any of you three individuals got to say Evan po we're gonna let we're gonna let the yeah I actually don't really care for Evan water that much Fiji is where it's Fiji Fiji if I'm if I'm really trying to be if I'm really trying to be up there Fiji is good sounds a little thick I don't know how to describe that um is expensive but I know but if I if I have it if I have it

smart water too yeah Fiji is definitely better than Evan sorry Evan is thick I I don't the times I've drink it I'm like why I'm this so thick sound like [Music] windy oh she passed away oh he said that all in one br oh she passed away well MC light oh that was a good hole for Taylor it was I like Taylor's racket color by the way I like both of their racket colors actually yeah I I yeah Derek he's not one that keeps an area organized at all that that that that that players area is just so disorganized it makes no sense yeah but um Melissa also said that tifo is sponsored by he is a whole commercial so there's that why he will have his name on it so know that's right y know who I know that's right G yes we say tar CJ at least I do oh it's tar with with the good music and and the quiet people okay T is very classy very very demure it's very Francis T say big fo on I don't know if I ever seen something tougher in the tennis world his his hoodie that he didn't put on sale that I'm still pissed about was tougher hoodie not his hoodie yeah it said friend of Fox on it and it had fax Circle because his last name is Fox yes yeah she gonna get toe up tomorrow who Pula yeah I mean you probably thought she was gonna get tow up last but get to up I mean she was on the way but after that second said I said um moov about to slop so so cor who do you think is a better player currently right now between Jess and Emma Emma and Navaro yeah yes I think say Ro about say oh sayas what are we doing [Laughter] here I I think J I think Jess is is the better player right now it could change any it could change be a better match well sure okay look um just probably got one shot so she need to just about one yeah she going to get last forever she need to her name in the history books okay well she gonna be handing that little um dish that they hand out to the to the semi to the finalist and and goad watch the buff and watch the Buffalo Bills play their game well then she won't be in the history books in order to be in the history book she needs to win she first she'll be in the history books of tune into tennis and that that she made a West open Final look in order to make history which would be being the first non africanamerican woman to win a slam in over years she needs to win wait who oh well I guess sopia technically can I forget about ksan open I'm sorry A lot of people do it's okay look got us in the bathroom does kma have us in the bathroom I think she does that she's in the bathroom tinkling and we hear it very not classic not de not de I about Good Old Sophia well never mind just why you think about Sophia I wasn't I wasn't thrill up with those Sophia Kennon run at the time it happened because she bu she beat some players that I actually wanted to kind of see lift the major trophy I wanted to see what mugara winning against a non William sister would look like but of course didn't BR best I mean it would have been nice um and then she beat C golf along the way too and I wasn't really fond of that but in hindsight she really did play amazing tennis I just hate that she couldn't sustain it for more than that season because she's just kind of been MIA since then you know well I don't think that's technically her fault well I mean she everybody everybody has you know obstacles and stuff it's not necessarily their fault but the tennis doesn't the tennis is not tennis since Australia 2020 and we are almost at Australia 2025 so you know Jesus okay she's a rhythm player like she like we had Co right like so she couldn't go on her run like in theory technically if it was a regular year she made she won she won six matches at the October roll onos so she found it together then right but that's still in the same year but she still had that break I'm saying if she would have played it through she would have technically would won 13 matches in a row at Majors that once she sat down with them injuries and her season was broken up because she didn't do great at the US Open either like it took her a minute to find it again for the October French [Music] Open Don't Look At The Ball when she serves so you know a lot of factors their mind right Francis this is your chance they literally put the players box on those corners and you got people in my menance talking about there should be no coaching during the match why you got them so close then what are they there for somebody said Jack Draper coach talking too much why do you why do we encourage these professional athletes to get the best coaches and then when they have the best coaches expect all of the Dynamics that they've built off the court to not come in in the heat of the battle it's so stupid it's so only in tennis do we do such a thing only and then and then then their excuse is oh we want to see them figure it out on their own even if you go if you go beyond the scope of just them playing that match with no coaches the coach and the team that they pay help them set up the strategy that they're using so it wasn't just themselves like even at the beginning it wasn't just I just hate that whole tennis Pi this is our sport we were supposed to figure out on our own shut up shut up hate that again coaches coach that's what they're supposed to do literally literally literally coaches do that in every other sport besides tennis in tennis matches like like or in the tennis tour the the coach's salary is coming from the player that wins the most like it's not some like you know front office like the Lakers or the Celtics that is paying the coach it's come from the actual the Warriors The Warriors I'm just saying I'm just saying there's a different administrative setup to how these coaches get paid you know right they don't have a k back that put pushing out the chicks and like like Stephen said Pam shriber the great Pam stver said you literally can't hear anything Pam sh is a great analyst and I appreciate her opinion uh Pam stver says you literally can't hear anything from your box unless you're standing right under it looking up so there's that oh God Francis she's a great analyst Pam the gra was a lot for me multiple has figures and Slams did it hit the frame yeah it I'm like the way that ball came off he framed that sucker it's okay it's okay it's okay hey sh to Serena a y' no we did not say this Nina we did not GRE in here she has said a before she has thank you after the best was out there and Serena Mr Boss Serena said a I like girl you so do respectful pleas subcribe H the like like button and notification Bell I know that's right your V was not my favorite Russian at all well V I don't fck I was so mad at her at Indian wellth 2017 I was like girl go all that did all that go away go away and that's when I started hating Joe con too that time remember when K beat Serena love and love Jesus was that that's s j i don't and I I don't want you to try to make no but but Serena had got some news that day about yeah so Serena wasn't even in the right head space I don't count that as the loss but she did do it don't know I don't recall what y'all are talking about and that's okay it was in um San Jose leave it where I think we got itan was it there leave it where it's at I'm asking miles the historian away away Apollo with that away from me Apollo yeah away from me with that but damn this phone it's in my head cuz me there lots of socer there you you just steady like the pick I just need to know the tournament name is bugging me you do you not have a a desktop or a laptop yes but I feel like it it should just pop up like [Music] that a the court is all in my face we just keep it there when you when it comes to you keep it in your heart okay keep it in your heart because that's where I wanted to stay the world's healthiest sport I know that's right not pickleball do you think pickleball will ever be able to build an Arthur ass Stadium why would they's coming to see that oh I know that's right to BU you see you see what Donald Young did he had to come back home and get a real well yeah I'm just saying you think why why isn't Chris Fowler going to go commentate Michigan versus uh Texas Tor you said he is or he is not he is not and I know it's because of the US Open but I would prefer him to go do it for college so I didn't have to hear him on the tennis channel cuz I'm not going to watch that Michigan match oh but you're not a you're not a wolverine so it doesn't matter absolutely not I mean The Spar is gonna get to up tomorrow by Maryland so so it's just gonna be a tough day for that St what you saying yeah well yes it's it's gonna be a tough day for the spark fans it's gonna be a tough season for the sparts fans anyway they suck some kind of way I want some kind of way I want Francis to get like a double break in this set just for just for added uh Insurance because things can get tight if he has to serve it out miles can we get the break first before we I know but I I I would really like for my sanity a double break actually not com to win in straight sets but again a double break like he's gota listen gota hold his let's let's let's get first let's get the break yeah that's all like you said miles Point by Point let's just get and he already jump and talk about double break that would be so awesome oh Francis I just want look I just want the B get across the Finish Line That's see what we're say well well me too but like when we when we have overheads like that we should be putting them away we should not be giving Taylor Fritz a chance to hit them back after looking like out there looking like Novak would overhead I don't think anybody looks that bad which you but strange enough like you would think after 20 years on tour you would you would do something about that listen he's won a lot he's he's a self proaim he's a self-proclaimed goat so I mean guess there's no technicalities WR his game to buy but all players have weaknesses in their game Serena the female goat we all know Balian was not her strong suit I mean it is come on her these Top Spin um two-handed B at the net were not great but yet she won 23 times that was a nice for hand CH oh ni look a nice elongated grunt like like his auntie I really like this shade of purple I need that kit I do it's very Raa it's very ra yes thank you that's what reminds me of thank you cuz I think Rafa had the exact same color only it was in Reverse like it was more purple then and then lavender opposed to Lavender and then purple Novak is the goat there is no denying it okay Neverland child these games is going going quick I I just responded to a text and already have y'all got y some of that Beyonce alcohol that she out here selling no no okay I heard it's expensive my it's out my tax bracket so definitely $90 with TX actually did you just say 9 well I mean it is I mean but I mean to be fair a lot of liquor is $90 um I'm my bracket lelf low shelf child I can't say I can't say I'm going that low now I a trying to listen I only I only buy tequila rep okay that's the only thing I SP my money on okay I can't be a there's a brand called Lobos that I like that uh Lebron James has invested in and it's really okay Beyonce's brand is Sir Davis sir Davis I think it's named after one of her grand grandparents fathers great or great great one there you go Francis again look real run run him when you run him great good things happen [Music] oh but that's little Jack the flight but okay but he but he was doing the right thing keep running that keep running him around that Court CH keep running him yeah he could have get a he could have he got he could have hit that more nice and we could probably still be in that nice rally I guess I don't watch Taylor FR enough because I definitely didn't realize he was sponsored by boss the battle of the boss was happened with the second round him versus Matteo yeah he ran he ran down on Matteo betini for some reason I ads I haven't seen a Taylor ad so I was I just wasn't aware oo yeah that was a nice return you saw with Taylor tied okay that's on San Francis that's why you say you just gotta keep running him you have to keep running him at this point in time he TI he already not a good mover I was say Taylor is very lindsy Davenport let him stand now Francis he just gave up that game too he does that too where it's just like right but it's like you still got a whole serve buddy like it's not like you're up four three you know what I'm saying like now it's come on now I don't like that Taylor serving first in this set although Morgan riddle does look great extraordinary I love this commercial I said not you had the I was like you at Disney what's happening that hkin silver commercial hin is nasty as H I thought you was talking about Madison's TJ Max commercial well no I give that girl no time of mine I pay her no I was so confused I'm I like Maddie madd's okay in my book I would I I would like she say I'm Maddie Keys that's what she calls herself so I'm gon respect her wishes and call her Maddie just Maddie yeah just just Maddie I'm not gonna try to call her a black woman mad I wonder if she GNA have a December W like everybody else sorry y'all I trying to multitask and uh enjoyed this uh ban through on Twitter with me and carusel oh y'all are still going at it he is he still Tweeting you ch he said I need to go he said I need to stop Eng uh farming uh engagement farming and go for a job CU I need it oh not job a jog oh is he trying to shame you miles he sure is I don't feel ashamed I know if I walk I know if I walk into sever rooms I'd pull more than him so I'm worri well I know that's right several rooms and he's ranked upside the top 300 I don't need engagement from him I think I'm doing okay oh that's actual tennis player even know right right I thought he was I thought he was just some tennis Twitter Warrior right there we go that's why I'm not worried Fran would you creating bubbles in your mouth like oh well y''s favorite Johnny mag just said Garling is good for Recovery I don't know if he's being factious or not is it for real okay that's what he said like said I don't know if if he was being why we so close to the ear oh I'm I'm reaching over uh tying on my laptop I was like oh Jesus said get into these earrings okay she said get to the earrings get into the ear canal child learn some [Music] Anatomy all right all right all right all right here we go you got this no you don't yeah cor I'm Mo for the play I want to see in the finals the first you know after and Ric was a black man who made a a a a grand slam final American black man suck on that Donald Trump okay right so K say that one more time so will you be working on the tifo film and will you be um helping cast James Blake has the stunt double why James Blake that because they both got the B dunk okay well well James has always been known for that beduna dunk because he always walked with that High Booty well well he has scoliosis he had scoliosis all right oh he has I didn't know he scoliosis yeah he had scoliosis and had to wear a back brace oh well I do remember him you know breaking his neck too and that was like yikes look at them four all okay I remember when he got pulled over by the police too in Connecticut pulled over oh he's just had a several incidents huh you would think the north would like his his brand of black you know high yellow but I guess well [Music] well although he is mix so you know there's that okay I'll go down the line with one of these okay or not Derek if the Doper wins this title it will be a stain on tennis oh it definitely will that do what was his drug of choice I was about to say Kaleidoscope but it was cl ball cl cl ball okay we got rooster duat melonium and cl I know that's right I mean it it Derek is not wrong in saying that because it it is kind of just like Optics yeah the Optics are not good speaking of Optics by the way I don't get furious when my name is this spell but I my name is like on the screen so it's m y l s who put m l s the Harris but this is Harris's first stream with us I'm pretty sure it's not a big deal so I don't get furious but I but when people reply to me on Twitter and they spell it wrong I'm like but my name is right there it happens it's okay you better fight through that I get that in emails it's like I sent you an email and it's it's my signature when they spell when they spell my name q u a r a r a n where the extra a where the extra R and like in Outlook my name is also right there like adding letters to that because like why are we adding all these letters and sometimes Outlook thing got very smart and after you put hey it automatically put the person's name in and you still spelling it wrong you're rejecting Outlook suggestion why I learned in school that you're supposed to use context clues right and if it's on the in somebody signature or in the email that they sent you you should probably just look around look for it search search up found it and Taylor is Taylor said listen I'm sticking around yeah this is gonna be a tight set it already is it's gonna be tight Taylor don't want his son to talk M bad to him that's what it is oh my god well Derek I can understand how your name gets misspelled a lot D there's well because there's several ways to spell Derek d e r r i c k d r but but but if it's right there and you see it should be I understand yeah if it's right there but again if you're just thinking okay Derek you can go two ways but again like I said it'll be in my signature and you still decide well the thing that get my email it's what my email address is they will take that and and say oh hi such and such even though it's not even my payroll and that's where I'm like if I SP your name correct can I get on payroll nope nma one day you gonna have to quit denying me access okay maybe maybe you are my maybe you are my way into the industry okay are you what are you trying to do in the industry I didn't I need a little 5sec Cameo okay so Kima can put me on her on her payroll okay have a 5sec cameo but if you ain't saying any lyes I don't pay you so okay why I need to say someone else in the department I do not pay extra not you only play stars Kareem I know that's right so Karan you better say order up and hit the Bell Okay order up be like what do you won't even have a name they'll be like kitchen counter attendant one right listen and those are actual roles so you know customer number one angry black guys y I know that's right those are all you know R like what's your credits oh I was angry black men number two in film super yes yep I want JP Morgan Chase to get a new logo so bad why would they make it I I don't know I'm just so tired of seeing that see I don't know they I'm I'm a banker with them and I just want them to do something new like just refresh the brand something let's rewind you're a banker with them yeah I am I am I'm a banker with them no no no no as someone who worked in the bank no no no yes I'm a banker with them I got a part-time job to buy I am a banker with them no I'm playing I really don't they got they got my investments though and I they they are my bank I am a customer to my there you go you go oh my God you're a patron if anything else okay okay they they hold my funds and invest them as well there is they need to invest a little harder have you come on tone Derek when you say Taylor looks way more hot tonight are you saying hot as in sweaty or hot as I say wet cuz it's hard to tell you know what this hot means here there it is come on that's what I wanted there like take it up the line make him move how much do you think FR coasters get paid to wear one patch for the duration of this match not one patch well they got they got 16 patches on their shirt so D my Derek said both I know that's right do they have a Macy's patch on there because he should pitch okay this is the kind of serving we're talking about let's go come on Carana sitting right next to board okay where where where is Ari where his wife where my girl probably in Europe somewhere with the with the son she's so fine oh that's a fine woman y know he playing like professional ball over there I did not know that yeah he's playing Sophie is at Howard Howard not jaelle Bryant KLA heris I know that's right oh here we go come on come on so behind oh I well dang see this score that messed me up I already know he lost the point exactly oh he oh he been double fought to two points in a row absolutely not Francis go get you kma what you get to eat I just got some Taco Bell because I didn't I didn't know what I wanted T what you get you get crunch sh Supreme I got I got a Nacho Bell Grande Nacho Bell Grande [Laughter] is a mess okay Francis that's why I'm like I'm not looking at the score on the screen because I I gotta watch this point me about to pass out yes M take that score I can't take it well D this one might be even more updated than everything else [ __ ] that might be two points ahead oh no look look Mama's like come on Francis come on baby we don't need another it's one of those it's just like just hold serve like just hold serve oh looks cute come on my God bro adios NE what the we doing I'm you see and this is this is what we're talking about right here this it's this kind of thing well they got their five Setter like they wanted why did we choose that shot to defend off a set point exactly exactly well the these these are the things these are the times I just have to see I think the score a littleit better too oh it's after yeah it's a little delay yeah we like that let me order this piece of chass and scream when got this uh naturo suem over here well so oh this is this is for all the marbles really D he do it if he don't he better run into the locker room because I don't want to see you crown on court again yeah it would be kind of cool if they played a 10-point t right now like right now not the whole fifth set y'all we just cracked over 1,000 people on the stream look at us congrats good job Miles look at Youk you by the way if all 10,000 of you who are maybe just sort of kind of seeing my face for the first time or hearing my voice for the first time welcome to tuned into tennis Kareem is not helping by going through a Taco Bell bag welcome to tuned into tennis please be sure before you click off this video to press subscribe if you're a tennis fan or just simply interested in becoming more aware of what's happening in tennis uh I'll be able to make it fun for you so give me a subscribe it's free doesn't cost you anything and it helps the channel grow or if you're looking at me engag with some foolish person on Twitter then sure follow me for that reason too it's all good all engagement is good engagement is that what you're trying to say I wouldn't necessarily say that um because I try my best I I'm not always successful at this but I do try my best to keep it above board um but you know hey you can't please everybody and sometimes just existing makes people mad so that's that's not a me thing that's not a me problem but if you're new regardless I'm happy to have you wait wait wait wait did Nick just say that the person that wins this wins the match well yeah likey that is groundbreaking commentary very insightful I mean how did he figures that out one will never know you know you just got to play the game K if you play the game you you know gota play the [Music] game you see that ozan um yeah I don't feel like I'm beefing I mean he he's he's gone a little further than just the tennis but it's all good I mean I know if it I I I sleep well at night knowing that a lot of people that kind of get a little bit more emblazoned and bold on Twitter or online with me typically would not have that energy if we sat across from each other trust me I know trust me I know thank you Bo miles is a better state is a way better State the obvious commentator than Nick K thank you I guess hey Uncle Steve don't throw in the towel yet I mean no one's broken serve yet britz is up 40 love on his first serve but TFO still has a lot of room to play with um so you know and we did just see Jessica come back from what two two love in the second set to win so I mean anything is possible yeah just one game is going by the fifth set and I mean I think there's still a lot of energy in that Arthur ass crowd that wants to pull Francis TFO through this match you know they haven't sat there they haven't sat there to allow him to kind of go down so easily without swinging so you know hey we're gonna see what happens Dereck said TFO might be running out of shirts that that is that is very true that is a fair assessment Kima since you're you know closest to the area is it hum this evening what did you say Tobias yes it's actually kind of cool it's cool where I am but it was humid there for the uh center match it was 63% humidity so it was stifle but I think also at night it does cool off but still in Ash it can get warm but body other body yeah but be Beal III is there on site he he should be chiming in but I don't I don't see Sydney Beal the third in the chat he's headed no he's um back to the court I think he'll hop on the stage when he's back on the court or back in the in the uh in the stadium it's not always humid C&J uh when I went on Labor Day it wasn't humid it was really nice actually so oh this is cool too oh this is a cool little function oh that that was wow and this is like real close into our faces very much [Laughter] Kara oh that's funny I like this one the best though a not love 40 I'm gonna I'm going to choose to be positive and say you know he was down love three in the first H he was he was he was that's what we're GNA we're just gonna yeah okay okay just hit the three-h hour Mark H all right all right all right all right wait what what what are we waiting for sorry somebody I know um somebody I know commented that they've been on the YouTube chat for a while I haven't seen them comment God God me careful but it's only two games and it's not a break until what did we say earlier it's not a break unless you consolidate this is the the thing here is that Taylor has momentum he does now opposed to in the first set they were both kind of just you know Trading still trying to figure out this big stage and you know so if he gets up three love I think it you know so Fran Francis has to do something here like he's got to get this game good good good start Good Start come on Francis I don't try to be spicy on Twitter but you know what just happens y'all didn't hear me eating not too much not too much but you hear all this oh my goodness gracious somebody say why can't we have anything nice come on T come on T you gotta dig in like I mean you I'm not saying the rest of the season doesn't matter um because it does but like it's not a slam for another four months I need I need him we gotta he needs to Pretend This is the semi-final got hit it that's what he needs to do pretend like this is the semi-finalist Cincinnati um yeah because didn't he save match points yeah he was down like 51 so I don't we don't need why does everybody keep saying that Francis damn he's up he's down level three everybody keeps saying tfo's done and he's too gassed and it's all Fritz um didn't Francis went five with Ben and didn't look Gass in the fifth set at all and that was a daytime match yeah so but you know Prussia can uh can bring out a lot of yeah it can definitely it can it can bring out some stuff you know um and now his mind is going like you know if I would have just held serve here like I could have just put this ball away and at least we're at five all you know I like my chances in a tie break but now so now he just needs to focus on let me get on the board let me let me get a game under me now who and then go from there shout out miles shout out to whoever did that because I definitely remember that episode of How To Get Away With Murder wake up yeah stay with me stay bunny up buny bunny Stay With Me Oh Good television shout out to Shanda RS that sha rhs who who took a picture with ti I am I am just so upset we got that that three-way crossover we were supposed to get but it's okay it's okay and Scandal and Scandal how how would you make that work so the so there was a rumor online that the what was going to happened was there's going to be some kind of outbreak in the DC area let's go Anthrax s or something like that they were gonna have to call in Meredith to kind of help figure out like a pathogen um or antidote and Olivia was gonna have to um defend the guy accused of doing it so that was how they spend that did Karima leave us or she just chewing she's chewing I'm chewing okay okay just don't get Bagel Francis that's quite a lot don't don't do that do that i i just uh I need him to remember who he is remember who he is exactly remember who you are yes but again it's Focus just get this game oh but not not playing like a fool though come on dude where where is uh Uncle Morgan Freeman when you need him like I mean you mean what what I mean cuse he just lunged for that ball he didn't he lunged for he did not take no split step Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis cause Fritz gonna turn around and be like who house I mean Boris Cojo and Boris Cojo and the rest of the team are standing up Jill smaller's rubbing her head Francis you gotta come on Francis you gotta begin here come on like be working my nerves Jill said I need you need you to do what I've seen done multiple times before turn it on right here take an extra piece of a banana or add some electrolytes into that water and let's get going come on come on buddy come on come on all right all right all right two good first serves get mad get angry a lot of the Great get mad and they play well so get upset one of them's commentating your match curios got upset and play better oh Patrick oh John mackenro sorry right I I said play better not acted as a fool that's right that's right Melissa do something like Michelle do something [Music] You' got to be kidding me not another breakpoint wait till you see t t t t t t there you go yes thr the right break it tifo see this is who we didn't want to see yeah we we see him often throughout the tour not not at the US Open tifo [Laughter] [ __ ] he just didn't he didn't even go up for that one can Franklin come down and talk to him maybe Franklin can help can we call a timeout and let Franklin talk to him it's like now now this 61 head-to head is looking real 6 oneish it is but again Taylor still has to maintain his level too so but TFO you've got to step up EAS to maintain a level if you got a four game Crush easier to maintain a level or easier not easy if you got if you got a four game cushion TFO man TFO okay that's two points so he just needs to use shout out to shout out to Brianna by the way in the chat Brianna say she's been watching us for damn near three and a half hours and I appreciate it I hope we've entertained we appreciate you definitely appreciate it Bri I'm gonna need them also to get Taylor some new tipes why because he keeps adjusting every Five Points that's an American man thing because I mean Andy R did it uh query did it sometimes I mean a lot of men do that on tour I don't know they just adjust I mean some going down down there I guess I don't know all right all right all right all right we've seen people come back from bigger deficits I think so yeah one five let's go like I say he should have the belief he he literally did this he's been here he has the experience he's been here before Taylor hasn't he literally just came back from a larger deficit literally three weeks ago I hope the crowd does wake him up mallerie all right all right is Chris bang still sitting cour side or no you probably to get up and those long legs oh well they they they ain't went down to him they ain't ask him no questions in a while so I just wondered if he was still there yeah they haven't they need to be like what are you seeing what what do you think happened why why oh and I guess I guess uh John mackenro was not being factious because again Francis is Garling again so what what did he say he said like gargling helps like with nerves or something like that earlier oh okay and I I like he you know John can be John so I wasn't sure if he was being for real or being factious but clearly um apping that's yeah it's a thing started Garling yeah look at that you can learn something from a major Champion you know multiple major Champions yeah multiple as well [Music] multiple had too yes it too I wonder how much Emir plane tickets are they probably a hefty penny I'm back I'm full and you full yeah I should not be eating this late and I've got my gym class in the morning is it's gonna be a tough day huh is it like a spin class no no Orange Theory so and it's a it's a dry try day the first and it's gonna be a Dy so the only thing I know about Orange Theory is you want to get keep your stuff in the green that's all I know well no you you want to go into the orange and the the red but then you do want to come back down like okay when they say all out you should be getting into that Red Zone but then when you're out of that allout stage that's when you start to bring your heart rate back down get hey Anthony yeah I mean as far as as far as quality of match except the last maybe 10 minutes or so the match quality has been good I have to say there's some great points there's been back and forth from them both the crowd has looked engaged it's just um you know Francis start this fifth just took some air out of the whole thing and he's leaking some too like that backand was he was not missing an hour ago he wasn't missing them like that come on T come on t did that curve in nope wow [Music] wow damn exactly well going out like this I still I still need a d it's okay maybe this he he's getting him right where he wants him just like he had hung room right where he wants him oh wow that was in it oh yeah wow wow wow okay well the result is the same there will be an American in the final yeah um and looking like two Rich at two two high inheritors what Macy stock doing right now is the stock doing well [Music] M never that's why I said if he didn't get that game and Fritz goes up three love it's he's got a different kind of momentum before opposed to the first set and he you know goes up three love and Francis was able to get it back I don't I this is this makes me wish that wasn't working because I I can't I I can't watch him um well not that but it's gonna the the way that he's gonna be D it's gonna be tough for him to accept right it's gonna be I wouldn't be I wouldn't be surprised if this kind of knocks yeah I wouldn't be surprised if this knocked him down a little bit it would knock me down for a little bit it honestly would to be that close you know but okay because to be that close yet so far from something he really wanted oh Lord he didn't he just didn't have the effervescence that he had in the last the last said he just didn't have the the the dig in the like the discipline to to to make the shots he was making the first three hours the discipline to like really make the same shots he making for the first three hours of this match that's oh yeah that's what Wayne ferer said I I mean it's it's oh wow and on an ace wow listen I give it up to Taylor because he could he could have just let it you know he could have folded down two sets to one he could have just not you know yeah he could it but he didn't he didn't okay well that is a Ben addiction yeah he's like let's go listen I'm not mad at you Taylor because they were rooting for tifo but I guess it's your house yep I mean that T Taylor did what he was supposed to do he right he he was the more to his he kept to his game plan he was the more consistent player which y i I said um in another chat I was like it's G to come down to can Francis be consistent enough to use his athleticism and his touch and and for two sets he was almost three almost three set he was but but as they say should have could us and would us and didn't so you because who knows what could have happened in the final especially with the cloud that is hovering over Giannis he may not have another path uhuh I mean this diao he really has to take a look at what he did because you you stop being all fancy fancy hitting these little Little Numbers getting out of points earlier than [Music] necessary going to the final he is and he should yeah I mean he he he should still be pleased with where he got to because because last year he was he wasn't in the semis last year he was close but he was in the quarters so I mean he wasn't in a look look and he had he had a really not so good year com yeah you know yeah we just started we just started talking about him as a a legitimate threat two weeks ago yeah right so for him to at least get to the semi and he didn't have a great well he he shouldn't had a great draw like things kind of fell some way SW with poin um beating Novak but in theory on paper it shouldn't have been the way it was but he and he got a win over Ben which he he lost Ben so I mean like it's not a bad turn for him at all by any stretch of the imagination yeah however what's frit saying better I of calm and look at Chris paying attention felt good interview was freaking out a little bit and he you know he kind of just told me to keep doing what I was doing and he kind of just accept that that's okay and keep making him do it and I think that you know it helped me uh just calm me down reaffirm you I was doing the right thing well you did Chris is amazing Chris you bang is really [Applause] great that is an accomplishment that people wanted for a while he's the first American man yeah I know no no doubt the first starving first American man in almost 20 years to get to a grand slam final since 2009 at Wimbledon no American flag has been in a men's singles final not one well to be fair you know a guy from Switzerland um me yeah nobody's taking away how great the resistance has been but you know it's it's they just haven't been there no no oh look at Chris Chris his shoulder putting his shoulder on Taylor because he knows Taylor's getting emotional here and he you know gave him a good shoulder like shoulder yeah you got this like you did it well you know that is his friend that's buddy yeah I'm sure they know a good bit about each other you know so Derek says the US drought will end Sunday okay Derek I like it he definitely has the ability to yeah I as long as he doesn't get overwhelmed by the moment it should be a good match it's not not the clap yeah chrisy Banks is amazing it's not the Clapping I wanted to do at the end of the day but I am um you know Taylor has been on his own Journey so he he deserved this moment right right and and that's a good point Miles because Taylor's been working because Again Taylor has kind of been in that same kind of just like dude you're not focus like you're you're like out in yeah when are you going to add this when are you going to add this layer to your game like you know he he's he's been a little bit more like his problems have not been the same as tfo's he's been a little bit more to one dimensional like the dimension that he has has been great but his ability to come to the net and stuff has improved which is not lost to that he finds himself in his first Grand Slam final plus we also have to think about like the family history that he has overcome at this open like his mother was top 10 and made it to the quarterfinals and never won a quarterfinal and he was kind of in that same boat until he beats there so he's exercising a lot of demons personally and for the country as well in the sport so yeah yeah I mean he he he just stuck in there he just just hung around again it was like if you stay close something can happen and that's what he did indeed indeed and at the end of the day we have F what is it five American men um in the top 20 and Nakashima getting you know improving every every week the orders the order shifted a little bit but you know and we have Americans with actual backhands it hasn't been the case for a while right right right yes it would be nice to have Pula and Fritz win Melissa as Melissa said yeah I would like to see it for Jess I definitely would CA I like to see it for Fritz too like no no yeah but I I feel like Taylor's also younger so like I feel like he has more opportunities with the way Jess's game is set up and how the rest of the girls play and the fact that you just made it to your out of the quarters at 30 yeah I feel like it it's it could go either way for just as in like if she wins I wouldn't be surprised if she went on a nice little run because she's almost like a Waki with power type of like she has just enough power to kind of keep the big girls at Bay but she's just enough as a backboard to frustrate them so I can going on a little run maybe like you know go deep in Australia and she plays well on every surface so she'll you know she'll have her the confidence to go further however he loses and gets blown out I don't know plus I don't know her personal like life plans like she is 30 I don't know if she's went the salon stepen Route and has frozen eggs and wants to be appearent like I don't know but if is on her mind that also may be playing kind of like a Yan uh like a an like I don't yeah so it would probably be it would behoove her to go ahead and put this one in the trophy case on say yeah it's like you gotta get get it while the getting is good right now you know B said I like sabalenka and is it bad that I don't love Aeris tennis players I mean it can be a tough sell but not necessarily her fault that she was born or is in association with a family that has billions however in the sport like tennis I think I think it like it matters that she obviously had the training and stuff but she literally Is Still the One had to come out here and hit the balls right so they couldn't buy her cuz clearly if they could have bought buy her trophy right cuz major her and Emma would have been had one if if that was the case Okay so as much as we all may you know kind of turn our nose up at it that they both of them had a little Head Start compared to most of us they still had to go sweat learn The Strokes hit the balls get to where they get you know both CU just is what let me check her live ranking I think she'll probably be like number four number four or number three yeah but like Melissa was saying that um that most tennis players are affluent they are yeah because it's an affluence work right right so this isn't right this isn't some you know but I will say that both Taylor and Jessica they don't carry themselves like they have these m billions and billions of of dollars correct um and Taylor look Taylor was was a teenage dad like oh my God I forgot about that married he's married and divorced once already yeah I completely forgot about that he hasn't just been like oh let me get this money up let me just BL like a whole child yeah like he he like said young age to you know and to be yeah he's been juggling other things yeah yeah but funny funny enough fun fact um give it to things may work out in Jessica's favor because everything is literally the exact same as it was for coko last year she was number six she got up to number three by winning Jess is now currently number three um they both played sabinka sabinka was number number two obviously they're playing in the same location they're both Americans you know playing on homeo on our thr I I mean this the Stars could Aline you know lightning does strike twice yeah I didn't do a St twice so and good point Derek that both Jess and Taylor played the Olympics and make making the finals like which is not not common Cuz Mr varez and Mr jokovic seem to and MTI also seem to fizzle fizzle so yeah but In fairness Jess was out a little bit she had you know so you know she ain't go straight on through that kind of thing but still Point has been made um yeah so hey let's let's see what we got I'm rooting for Pula to do this rooting for Fritz and I'm rooting for Fritz I yeah listen he's got a huge serve it's like if that serve is clicking you know it's it's actually it's a really balanced match up because they both have big serves they both have big forehand and they both have fairly powerful backhands compared to some of the rest of the tour so it's going to be a even match the only thing I would say that Yanik probably has over Taylor and it's also well I was G to say speed like getting to yeah so bigger so he doesn't change directions as well like neither one of them changes directions great but Taylor makes change direction slightly better where yanuk is slightly faster just because he has the longer reach yeah so we we we shall see on Sunday we shall see we shall all right y' I think this has been a wonderful stream maybe not the result that we deep down wanted but at the end of the day we are going to witness an American man compete for a grand slam Final in New York come Sunday uh and then tomorrow we have another really really good matchup a repeat of the Cincinnati final from two weeks ago
