Taylor Fritz one spot remains in the final to take on yanic Center it's the All-American Showdown how's everybody doing we already got some names in the chat how's everybody doing I was just at the US Open and I'm going to talk about that and share some of my experience being at the tournament uh let me know if you're also at the tournament um I flew back today from New York um where I was at at the US Open uh so I have some stories to share about that and yeah we're gonna be doing a play-by-play of TFO versus Fritz which will be fun why is tennis always delayed that's what I'm saying it's annoying yeah don't forget to like share subscribe thanks Lexi hopefully uh maybe it's too late for you to to join in but all right so Francis TFO versus Fritz uh Fritz is Big has breadstick tifo in the Tad so far they played Seven occasions it's 61 for Fritz and uh Tifa won their first meeting all the way back in 2016 Indian Wells but Fritz has won the six meetings since then most of them pretty comfortable which fares well for Fritz honestly and um I mean it kind of goes back back to the point of Fritz is Fritz is a better server than tifo he's a better ball Striker than tifo tifo I'd say is a better movement maybe a little bit more craftier than Fritz so he's got some things going for him um TFO will want to play longer rallies I think in the match overall if he wants his best chance to uh chance to win Fritz willan stay aggressive and dictate off the forehand he's played awesome in the tournament so far uh he's had wins over Casper Roode he's had wins over zov in fact I can give you the players that they' both beat be Theo beting kovasovic shenko Alexi poin Ben Shelton and demitro uh demitro was injured uh towards the end of their third set there so um hope speedy recovery to demich yet again which is very is very upsetting but um poin jie jokovic that's a great win for TFO and Ben Shelton was playing incredible and that was the best batch of the tournament thus far in my opinion um so and then Fritz is beating Yugo Kelly T bertini komasa Casper rude and zov zov was a big one uh you heard the cheer from all over the grounds if you're there at the US Open uh that I was able to go um actually I I had a ticket for the tournament on one day and it had it was the day where um it was confirmed that this was going to be the matchup and that an American man was going to reach the final and uh when Fritz beats ver of everybody lost it because that was the big key after that it was Spritz TFO and demitro in the uh in the half so that was exciting players are warming up right now which American wins I'm going with Fritz uh Fritz has the leading head to head TFO plays different in US Open he's got a big motivation as well the fans love him there he's got unfinished business you could say but I don't know I mean Taylor Fritz he's had a different aura about him in this tournament even even like the post he's posting on Instagram like one more to go here we go like like I have it's almost like he's a man on a mission um so Fritz it feels like he's like playing for so much for the country and he so passionately wants to get it done and that's kind of dictating his performances which is kind of awesome but um he's also just playing great he's playing Amazing it feels like it's all lined up for this for Fritz it is his first major semi-final TFO has been here before which is a plus and TFO did well at the stage before uh pushed ALR to five sets saved a match point incredible match so um it's very close I could see TFO winning uh but I'm going to go with Fritz um I can't decide if I I think it's going to be four sets or five sets I'm leaning four sets I'll say Fritz and four but I think it's gonna be close it's GNA be close will he show the game we do we can't show the game but I will uh we'll have the play byplay JJ wolf how's it going I don't know what JJ's got to do with it but he uh listen one of these guys going to make a slam final he's going to be the next American to get to a slam final soon manifestation how's it going jera how's it going Joe hello hello hello I'm going big phone five okay cool uh yeah it seemed like the commentators on TV were kind of leaning TFO to get the win um they were saying that Fritz is the better Ma has the better is the better better uh player in this matchup uh but they said that they kind of think TFO is going to win this time I don't think so tfo's played way more tennis Fritz has dropped two sets tfo's dropped five sets and I feel like Fritz has also had tougher opposition um but he hasn't had that many long matches um I'm I feel like Fritz is gonna win but it's going to be close and I'm with TFO as well wow okay so a lot of people going TFO I'm gonna go Fritz and four we'll see it's not one of those where I'm just like right both both sides make sense so it's exciting this is I mean it's awesome that we get this matchup in New York at the US Open most packed Us open in years you know uh and we get an American the final and we have two Americans to to play for it too which is just and we have Fritz and TFA I mean I I love that Fritz is in this situation never gets his dues does Taylor Fritz honestly never gets the dues that he deserves so happy that get he's getting some respect here um with people respecting his run here their atet is 61 in favor of Fritz I'm still thinking tifo four or five all right we'll see we'll see not only is the head to head 61 though it's also like Fritz is one I I'd like to count up the sets but Fritz has won a lot of like the set count is pretty in favor of Fritz as well TFO hasn't won that many comparatively but uh we'll see we'll see serve forehand up high from TFO big forehand from Taylor Fritz 15 love 15 love but yeah let me know your predictions it feels like we're going overwhelmingly to yafo seems like everyone's overwhelmingly TOA I'm going Fritz and for serve big serve Why 30 love um yeah I mean I got to go to the US Open in person on September 3D which was super exciting um I didn't have a ticket to Arthur rash which was unfortunate but it was still so much fun um I got to take it to uh I got a grounds pass so I got to go to Louis Armstrong Stadium I got to see the practice cours I got to see Shri onch practicing I got to see demitro practicing I got to see CER practicing I got to see some incredible doubles matches I got to sit front row for uh the Double so that was it was really fun really really uh New York was a blast in general love that City all right here we go 315 for Fritz you've been bigging up Fritz all year so I'm not surprised you pick Fritz yeah uh no absolutely I've been I mean I feel like this is Fritz has been primed for a result like this I've said it for a while by the way uh a TW tweet that I made in October last year has aged pretty well I'll I'll I'll read it out but I feel like it's aged particularly well in regards to this welcome back en jooy hey I appreciate fa on how are you doing man um back in tifo down the line what a shot 4030 is that your first time in the US Open not technically but yeah I mean I I went to the US Open the last time in 2004 when I was three years old about to turn four so I can't remember that at all so yes I mean in all things that matter yes though my first time at the open it was awesome it was so crowded New York like I don't know it was so crowded but it was so fun it was surreal like right when we got there it surreal that the stre I've been watching forever is actually there all right Deuce TFO it's a great return to serve got stuff already from Fox yeah let me know guys have you guys got to the US Open yourselves have you been Joe serve on the te back in return that's back in the side advantage to Fritz advantage to Fritz yeah I got to meet um I got to meet peaches as well uh pachers walked up to me at the US Open and I had to have a I got to have a fan experience with her or I don't have Fan Experience the right word but she uh she walked up to me and we had a chat and that was super fun to meet her so that was that was fun the whole thing was fun uh the atmosphere in New York is unrivaled good serving from Fritz get get a little bit out of trouble there one zero nuran outside Europe okay got you yeah um fair enough uh but if you ever get a chance to go it's I'd super recommend it there's a lot of European tournaments I want to go to I haven't been in Europe since I was like two or three years old so I got to go there I got to take a Europe trip sometime for real um I really want to see Rome the Rome event is one that I particularly want to go to obviously roling garos would be quite exciting Wimbledon would be quite exciting um yeah that's all in the future ATB finals in Torin or wherever it will be in the future it would be fun yeah these two guys playing to see who will take on CER in the final if Fritz wins this match he'll go up to number seven in the world Tifa would go up to number 13 back in the net from Fritz 15 love for TFO um with a title tifo can crack the top 10 in the world um knocking off demor from the top 10 Fritz can go up to number six in the world he would pass Ru blove if he gets the title but obviously the points will stay so they have a much better chance of even increasing their rankings from there I mean anybody who gets a major title they have a great chance to at least get like number three or four in the world in general usually at least serve from tifo a for and a Fritz that's a great shot down the line great forehand that forehand has been great in this tournament really has been that's so cool Peter's a cool person yeah she was she was fun to she was fun to meet we need to get a credit for everything and have us all jetting around absolutely absolutely yeah that would be that' be fun I I want to travel for for tennis that'd be great um yeah that'd be a great opportunity to be able to go all over because I mean that's so what's so cool about tennis right it's all over the world toan the from TFO so couple close games service games from both to start us up 30 all what do you think of jpex chances tomorrow I think they're high I think they're high I don't know exactly what their record is sabinka Pula but 52 sabinka oh yeah yeah I looked this up I forgot yeah pagola beat her in the WTA finals last year last last year but um well obviously sabinka just beat her in the Cincinnati final which is won the few actually rare times that we've gotten Cincinnati final be the same as the US Open final 52 sabba okay and we're nice outside of Europe I've been to Texas I still haven't been to Texas actually hey how's it going Max hey we got everybody back this is this is awesome fun to see you be able to do this again I was out for a week because I was in New York I couldn't really stream stream from there I was busy walking around the city and go to the US Open in person it's a forand the net Fritz gets the first break first blood drawn for Taylor Fritz wow bad volley from Foe and a double fault some unforced errors creeping into tfo's game Fritz with some good returning and uh Suddenly It's two- zero for Fritz draws First Blood I I believe Al t took the first set against alcaras in their US Open match if I'm not mistaken in a tiebreaker he was down like six five and then he came back and won or something yeah he won the first set in a tiebreaker um yeah that's what happened the last time that he was in a US Open semi-final or in a slam semi-final played a five set epic versus alcarez for and TFO cross scth for and Fritz for TFO we have for a Fritz hits it big down the line it's 15 love for Fritz now one thing the crowd doesn't want to see is an easy day for Taylor um that's something crowd does not want to see I do think Fritz will be the fresher of the two he's looked so motivated in this tournament Taylor he's looks so loose I mean Fritz is just it just feels like it's all lined up for this tournament he started off the Year great at the Australian Open playing a fantastic match against Novak and his best performance in my opinion to that date honestly against sits boss to beat him when sits boss is usually so good in Australia and uh that's a great serve from Fritz um out wide so 30 love and uh it feels right to me that Fritz is uh Fritz has found something at the US Open it's very very nice to see for Fritz as somebody who's appreciated his efforts this year first serve goes wide backand of Fritz that goes out but basically not only is the head head pretty lopsided in terms of it's 61 for Fritz TFO has won uh two sets in their last six meetings like that that's four seven sets nine sets that's 13 sets for Fritz and two sets for tifo it just doesn't farewell the numbers for tifo really that's about I mean TFO picks up his level at the US Open but Fritz he's been playing Amazing this time around in New York he's he's absolutely loving it his forehands firing his seres good he's his back end's firing as well to be honest like he's just he's playing a great ball so Dio needs to make an athletic oh would have been ridiculous from Fritz but he just missed a pickup half Vol half volley kind of shot out off the back end side 4030 not really a half volley but like a pickup right off the balance at the back end but misses a wides 4030 for Fritz two zero Ser from the American out wide to let but yeah 13-2 in sets in the last six meetings overall it's uh four 14 and four so I don't know I just feel like Fritz Fritz is really just a better matchup against TFO TFO needs some make these points physical maybe come to net a bit as well could help um make it about you know he has some skills that Fritz maybe can struggle with a bit more when it comes to kind of you know drop shot slices net play uh moving up and down the court that kind of a thing so that's what TFO needs to make the match about if he wants to have a really good chance here and return Fritz is serve well and uh get to rallies hello hello hope you had a great experience at the US Open Anthony yeah Max it was awesome I uh yeah honestly I so I haven't been in New York since 2004 so it was really my first experience really in New York I fell in love with the city it was awesome I mean such an iconic City I got to do so much I got to go to the Met which was amazing got to go to the US Open on two days the 3D and the 5th um which was awesome I got to go to China town I got to see the Empire State Building World Trade Center um I got to go to Broadway I saw the show Hades town which was incredible um Broadway is insane um what else I went to Central Park I walked the entirety of the Brooklyn Bridge there I went to the end of the Brooklyn Bridge and back on the first day that I arrived to New York I walked over 50,000 steps which was nuts um I woke up at like 2 in the morning to get on a really really really early flight which was crazy too and then yeah walked around New York um just so many fun experiences um it was really nice it was really fun um yeah really really cool and uh yeah at the US Open I also saw a guy from my old High School tennis team which was cool too just randomly uh I they showed me on the Jumbotron and um he recognized me on the Jumbotron when they're like showing PE people in the crowd and showing people dancing and stuff I did like a funny dance or something and he recognized me and uh yeah it was and but he's like all the way from Georgia so it was It was kind of crazy that happened a couple times where I saw people that I knew from Georgia I just so happened to bump into them on the street it happened twice which was so weird to me that all the way in New York I would do I would see that but yeah it was really cool frit and TFA are great yeah anybody saying these two don't deserve to be in the semies haven't been watching the US Open these two have been playing awesome this is deserved and I've I've been saying that these guys are primed to have a tournament like this so this is exactly what we're heading for this these have been guys working hard and uh it's been deserved so I I'd love to see it I'll after this point I'm going to read out a tweet that I wrote in October last year which I feel like aged kind of well um Ser from TFO goes out 15 all this is why I wrote October 12 2023 this was a period when Americans weren't doing all that well but they were doing okay but this is what I wrote this could age badly but I think 2024 is going to be the best year for American men's tennis in 15 years if Cordis stays healthy I feel he is going to do well good depth now with Paul stepping up Fritz and TFO not at their best right now but both are hard workers and we'll find it again that's what I wrote in October last year so I feel like that's that's aged well as well um this 2024 with this US Open has definitely been the best year for American men's tennis in 15 years without a question whoever wins tonight will be the first American in a slam final men's singles first American man in a slam final men's singles since Andy rodic and 2009 Wimbledon final which Jesso happens to be the first match that I ever sat down and watched an absolute epic so uh history tonight either way yeah that was a cheeky prediction for me I'm glad I'm glad I have proof that I predicted that long ago more than 20 years yes I'm trying to remember the last All American men's final of the US Open uh has to be S pris A absolutely yeah 2002 2002 I think is London your next destination yeah I mean listen that' be cool um I want to go and if I go to London listen there's so many of you guys that are in London I got to go um for real I do want I am G to make it a goal to go to Wimbledon next year I want to travel a lot next year in general wow backand of tifo and I am going to travel lot next year 4030 tifo that's a big back and crosscourt see you in r r jaat maybe I I hope to go it would be fun um I I want to go to different places Iceland and hius or place I'd like to visit is New York more populated than London New York's not that populated actually we saw we looked it up it has like eight million people so definitely not um New York's not that populated not as much as you'd expect okay London's not that crazy either 8 9 million what is uh what is New York's exactly New York is 8.3 million so about the same but uh London is more populated it did feel like there was like a 100 million it was so loud New York is like the loudest City it's the city that ever sleeps for a reason for real back in volley what a shot from Fritz Fritz has gone to a new level man I mean I've I've seen in this guy I've been high up on Fritz for a while I've been high up on fris for a while and I'm glad to see the success finally coming through I really am happy for it I didn't expect it at this tournament but I'm happy that it's kind of come about actually I did say in my uh when I made a uh predictions for the US Open I did I did back Fritz as somebody who could do well at this tournament I specifically wanted to mention in my article I wrote an article for Quality shot.com I did mention Fritz there as a cheeky nod that he could have a good run here so not fully unexpected for my end but I definitely didn't see him making the final is New York more populated than London are there like eight million living in New York yep exactly yeah about the same lond is about 9 mil for and Fritz that's a good shot Cross Court can fit the entire population of Norway on both ends um yeah it's crazy I mean I just for some reason I felt like New York before coming there I thought it had like for sure like 20 25 million uh when looked it up it was much less than that but serve from Fritz here at 315 big serve goes out frit kind of running with the lead early here tifo not really inserting himself as much as he would have wanted back in across Court to the back in TFO back into Fritz back in TFO down the line for in to Fritz slides into it it's a back in drop shot TFO back in Fritz cross score is a great shot for Fritz is there ass in the net though it's a great shot from TFO though that's the points TFO needs to play athletic points moving Fritz around moving I mean listen crowd's gonna be rooting for both they're gonna be excited for both but I think they're going to be edging T they're GNA be on TFO side ready all last rally 10 shots I mean it's not that many it was a cool rally though back in Fritz now oh back in Alpa that's too good from Fritz his back I mean listen his ball striking has been it's been super clean Fritz is just a man on a mission here in this tournament is my feelings we'll see what TFO can do though he's fought well in this tournament he fought against Ben Shelton he was down two sets to one he was down a set twice in that match and uh he's done well in this tournament no matter what tfo's reputation New York is cemented with this event he uh he steps up his level here for in of Fritz for of TFO cross score for of Fritz for M TFO back in Fritz cross cour the back in TFO back in Fritz back in TFO down the line a great shots squash shots in the net forand slice from Fritz goes in the net bomb the net okay Deuce yeah want CFO really insert himself here I believe that was people from Tio's box telling him you got to take some chances on the second serve return every once in a while maybe we go down the line that was cool from TFO behind the back return cheeky return off Fritz's out serve backand slice of Fritz for into tifo back into Fritz then the net it's a break point for big fo it's a break point for big Foo appreciate everybody joining in by the way this is the All-American matchup to see who will be the first American man in 15 years to get to a final of a grand slam the greatest country in the history of the sport not for the last 20 years but in this Sports history so it's not just history in americ cont test it's history for tennis who's going to be the first to get to a slam Final in 19 years let's see second and surf here from Fritz kick serve back in TFO back in Taylor for of Francis four hand of Taylor for of Francis forand of Fran that's in the net it's back on serve Francis cafo Roars back to 3-2 unwilling to go down in the scoreboard there's 31 4030 now it's 3-2 back on serve here we go here we go by the way I'm happy that both of these guys are two guys that I've I've gotten a chance to interview which is super exciting um that I uh I've gotten a chance to speak to both these guys and now that they could be now one of them will be the first man in 15 years to make to a slam final I got to speak to tifo this year in Atlanta open got to speak to Fritz last year in Atlanta yeah this is uh it's an exciting matchup no doubt about it I hope we'll get a close match no RIS injuries are vomiting I hope not but if we go by the match earlier Jer then we are gonna get some chaos no doubt what are your thoughts on the final tomorrow um Bola is playing great I sabinka is also playing awesome I feel like sabinka should have done better in the final last year when she was really expected to do super well than she ended up doing um I don't know I haven't been able to watch that much of the woman's uh event to be honest not even that much of the men's singles event either because I've been I've been walking around New York I haven't been watching that much of the of the tennis as I would have liked outside of when I'm I've been there in person and even then haven't been able I wasn't able to watch much of the singles um so I don't know that much I do know that Emma novaro uh was down a break against sabinka I think in the second set and then she broke back and I don't know I I I kinda I'm kind of feeling like Pula now that she's in the finals can make it really tough on sabinka she wasn't supposed to make it through against mova but now that she's in the final um I mean she's been playing Amazing Beach beon obviously in the quarterfinals I reckon I'm gonna take pagla uh I'm G to take Pula in three sets maybe in an epic epic match Revenge from Cincinnati that's my prediction for that sabba did play great last year she mentally crumbled in the final and lost fully agree so I kind of think you know you learn from uh you learn from things that have happened in the past I I'm gonna go with I'm going to go with paga in three sets to win her first slam and probably her only slam but she's great anyway so 15 love back on serve from the big Foe for and Fritz big forign ffo that goes out 15 all like I said earlier tifo has beaten kovasovic shevchenko poin Shelton and demitro he's dropped five sets Fritz has beaten Yugo belly Argentine bartini in a really fantastic performance komasa and then he beat Casper rude and Sasha Vero Taylor Fritz has dropped just two two sets despite playing bartini ver of and uh Casper Roode so Fritz is playing awesome TFA is playing awesome as well to be fair let's see back in that's way up high going to be easy for TFO hits it right back to fritzo the lob smash TFO slice Fritz's there at the 4and to the back in TFO forand to Fritz slice trying to get a miracle back to this point he does with a 4and cross score got some great defense from Taylor Fritz just really improved his his defensive capabilities wow he was I mean TFO should have finished off that point that slice was not a good approach I don't know what TFO was thinking there but a sign of mental fatigue there as he just lets Fritz back into that point four winners six on four STS for TFO to start this match 30 all sered on the t is just long huge serve 129 miles per hour but it goes out second serve it's another big SEC it's a big second Fritz gets it back end of tifo the back end of Fritz going back in back and a back in TFO back in a Fritz oh it's a bad drop shot from Tifa I don't know what's going on this game he's getting leads and points than giving him away like Christmas gifts 30 40 30 40 I need to watch more mova she's so fun I my favorite player to watch last year so happy she's she's back healthy because she's playing amazing here we go 30 40 break point for Taylor surf from Fritz back in Surf from TFO I should say that's a good four and crossb from tifo TFO is so talented man TFO is just he's such a crazy Talent the guy is unreal I if it's just a talent competition TFO wins you would probably say but tennis is not just a talent competition it's AET there another serve from TFO here for and Fritz for of drop shot back hand slice oh Fritz Falls go be careful it slips there Fritz laughs slip there from Fritz kind of an interesting moment at the net there he started laughing with the Offa but then he's like I felt like Fred start laughing with the Offa but he's like I gotta put on my serious face this can't be like a friendly competition I gotta I gotta get the most important win of my career I was a slip there that's what I'm saying how do people so seamlessly slide on hard courts if we're just talking about movement tifo has the upper hand if tifo can dictate these points to be longer and to be more movement oriented than movement around the court then that's what he's got to do if he can make these points about movement variety it's gonna be tough for Fritz sered on the tea it's a good serve for and inside out is good stuff from fo and the crowd explodes an explosion in New York r he might have slipped on SW Center sweat yeah hope hopefully he didn't slip on dra Draper's vomit Draper was vomiting all over the like all the time in the last match it's crazy what a chaotic match um the most chaotic semi-final of in US Open that I remember since jokovic versus gilmont Feast um uh what whatever year that was R draer yeah say same same thought jera same thought lob smash him Fritz tfo's there back in Spritz oh what a shot back in down the line 15 love for frit 3 three this is good already and we're six games in it's just a celebration huh celebration of uh American men's tennis being back on the map this is what I said we're going to people are going to start taking American men's tennis seriously when we get a man in the final I feel like that's what's finally occurred or what's gonna occur what are your thoughts on EA's results in Grand Slams this year well I've noted a long time ago Max that uh IGA she struggles in slams she does for her standards she struggled and slams outside of rolling Aros um she has the four rolling garos say she has just one other Slam in terms of her standards she she should have even more but here's the thing that almost crazy to say because she's 23 and she has five slams so but I'm just saying if we're just looking at her um let's say uh trajectory for the future it could be hard for her to pick up you know rack up an in insane amount of slams outside of rolling garos because I really think she has a problem performing at slam she's so much better than everybody at rolling G doesn't matter but I do think that she has a problem performing in the slams back in Cross Court yafo Court's not big enough 30 all that that was a big moment there up American tennis can get more popular again oh totally Max I hope so um I absolutely hope so cause listen Tommy Paul is is a great player as well Sebastian Corda and then you have a talented guy like TFO Fritz I think is very marketable and very very fun in his own right like like American men's tennis is great Shelton is a very popular figure now so we're starting to do well again I hope that it keeps building like this and we have a lot of good great depth like even McKenzie McDonald who I got to talk to in Atlanta Nakashima JJ wolf is a fun player back in TFO Inside Out For A Fritz back in now Fritz the back in TFA down the line for to Fritz up high that goes long 3040 another break point for Tifa it was 31430 now it's 33340 from 31430 frit serving it's now 33340 Fritz serving TFO in a quick hurry has turned the momentum of this match around second serf from Fritz he hit the first one the net the four and of TFO back and Fritz back end of Tifa back in Fritz TFO and Fritz going back in to back in Fritz TFO steps around hits a forehand back into Fritz back in slice TFO back into Fritz back in TFO down the line for Fritz for TFO Fritz is there at the back end but he can't get there TFO has turned this around he said he's got unfinished business in New York performed great in Cincinnati and is he GNA do I mean motivation is a big thing man tfo's got the motivation of putting you know putting America on the map in men's tennis Bas also got the motivation of putting himself on the map something he felt he should have done in 2022 I'm sure tifo feels like if he won that match against alcaraz that set against alcaraz in US Open he should have won that whole tournament I'm sure he feels like he would have beenen casaro in the final so for tifo this is unfinished business this is W not just getting to the final but winning a grand slam that he should have already won and that's a powerful thing and motivation is a powerful Drive in uh in tennis I can tell you being on the US Open grounds and the atmosphere that day there's something in the air I just knew we were going to get two Americans in the semis like there was something in the air and um you know uh there's something in the air and I motivation is a big thing it's crazy that in sports motivation can play such a big big thing because you're motivated anyway always to win you want to win but if you have that extra motivation Fritz the main factor in the fritz verev match wasn't forehands backhands res serves it was the fact it was it feels like it was the fact that Fritz wanted an American man to get to the final so just having that mental motivation plays a big role I puked up while playing a Sunday League football match but it was my own fault for partying all night you have to prep properly Joe C Surly help I agree Anthony could didn't do great at the AO and wimon she hasn't done great yeah or at the US Open last year or you know she loses a lot of matches she shouldn't really be losing who gret frustrated first my money is on Fritz um yeah I mean at this point is's losing so I'm going to say the same hopefully not the point of rub love gang mad I don't think these two guys get mad like that I don't I don't I haven't seen fritz or TFO get that mad particularly Fritz seems pretty call mannered he's often bickering with himself but not in a way that that's that's that money mental forand of Fritz the four of TFO for and of Fritz Cross Court forand of forehand forand down the line Fritz changes Direction so for into the four and of Fritz right off the Baseline back in Fritz back in slice of big foot the back in Fritz it's over to the back of TFO for in Fritz cross score for and TFO is there again what a rally rally of the match so far back into Fritz cross score TFA is there it's in the ground listen put this on all the big screens everybody who's thinking about watching American football or whatever else tonight put this on this is a great moment for American Sports in general today and even for people outside the states this a great great opportunity to watch A Match that of some names you don't usually see in the semis we've had Z Medvedev alar jokovic Center just dominating the semi-finals and the slams for the last like two years so this is nice even have Draper in the semis without dropping a set of all crazy things but I knew it was coming for Jack for a while I think a lot of people did something like that back in the four in of Fritz four in of Fritz up high to volley of TFO back in Fritz is there tfo's there at the volley 15if all these rallies are great TFO gives a smile because listen these two guys have known each other a while since 2016 uh these two have played and they've known each other for longer than that they were in the same nextg finals group they've known each other a while these two 15 for t uh for tifo up a break here by the way at the US Open they had a cool thing called Like Us open radio where you could put a uh put a mic up to your ear and listen into the play that's happening on other courts and like commentators talking about it I think I learned a lot from that which was fun and it that was a super nice thing to have at the open they they were giving those away for uh for free or for free if you had the right um I think you had American Express card so that was really cool American Express is like the main sponsor of this tournament you can see see it in big letters on both sides behind the behind the court back in Fritz the back in TFA goes across Court interesting approach that's not a good half F thefo very eager to come to the net which is a good thing that's it's going to help him if he's gonna win this match it's gonna help him win this match but he's gota he's got to have better approach shots than he's had so far he's got to find ways to strike the ball well from the back and maybe use the right amount of variety to will the points in his Direction and then find a good time to approach but he's got to build out these rallies too and the fritz forehand he's got to avoid I think in general pull uh pull Fritz out to the back end and move them around to the back end side as much as possible maybe up and down the court slice it short to the back end serve from tifo the four in Fritz back in TFO that goes out goes out so it's 3040 it's a absolute tug of war if he go doesn't win AO the pressure on her at rolling garas will be palpable oh yeah absolutely she's won she's won uh a few in a row but it's going to be interesting if she's a big favorite there hey how's it going Mike on the road liking listening thanks for commentating hey I appreciate it on the road again can't wait to get on the road again all right 34 here serve out wide easy mic drop deuce T said got that out my face back to Deuce another big surf from tifo Advantage TFO another big surf foreign return of Fritz the back end of tifo forign of Fritz for of TFO back in Fritz for TFO back into Fritz that goes out it's Roar comes out to tifo thefo looking looking so motivated tonight about as motivated as seen him you look at the look in his eyes I feel like he's thinking about that alcr match a few years ago he's saying not again I love Anthony singing moment yeah I've got to make a living just on just on the uh on the streets busking and see all right 53 it's so funny Fritz just Fritz uh what's it called sponsored by Chipotle first playing the biggest match of his life just with Chipotle on her shoulders hilarious back can't what a return from tifo he's found it you know Fritz was up early but tfo's slowly built himself into his best form here and now he's playing his absolute Peak Peak TFO tennis hell of a return frit is got a buckle down here diao's not going to make it easy even gets that returned back gets that that oh hits the top of the net but goes back in the side 15 all TFO has to stop for a minute really wanted that one I about one set for both let's see could be a set of piece sounds good right now yeah I'm good I just at but chib is good for in a Fritz the four and slice to tifo for and to Fritz Inside Out Fritz missing shots it started out with at one point TFO had four winners six on four stairs it feels like the roles have reversed big time as the set has gone down gone on and it just feels like tfo's intensity is at a such a high level that maybe Fritz can't match it right now there all big serve but two more points for the big foe fo meister for tifo and the set it's over ban OFA misses it wide 4030 back in for in to Fritz oh Tavo goes for behind the back shot but misses it oh award point there as uh W francess shot just got the back of the line 54 interesting moments here this is such a fun match what a historic match for American men's tennis honestly just it's a great matchup you know Fritz in his first semi-final of a slam tifo in his second with uh such an iconic semi-final first first lucky there from Fritz and two more ways than one his shot hits the top of the net and then uh and then hits the back the line TFA actually hit a did a 360 on the return to serve TFO with a 360 and the then behind the back but none of it matters um by the way the day that I was there at the US Open just so happened to be the day that feder came went there feder came on uh September 3D that was the one day that I had tickets to the US Open um I also went on September 5th but that was the day where it was open to all fans which is insane that that happens uh Arthur Ash is not Arthur Ash stadium is not open to the fans but everything else is open um but yeah I uh that was insane that um that the the one day that I happen to be there is the day that feder was there he was there to watch tifo demit and also sabinka versus uh versus young and uh um and I'm pretty sure that's the only day that feder's been at the US Open this entire decade I don't think he was there in 2020 uh because pandemic's up he wasn't there 2020 because pandemic's up 2021 he was injured with the knee I don't think he showed up to the US Open because it wasn't like he was officially retired yet 2022 and he hasn't been at the US Open since he retired so it's possible he was there in 2022 but I don't think he was um that was right before Labor cup when he officially retired I don't think he was there so uh the last time feder at US Open before that was when he lost to demitro in five sets um in the quarterfinals maybe of the US Open uh but yeah it was crazy to be know that I was in such close proximity to Roger but yeah hopefully I got to see him in person at some point and meet him honestly that'd be sick back in slice of TFO the back in of Fritz back in TFO back in of Fritz that goes long 15 love for tifo TFO playing much better tennis at the moment didn't feder do something B he does a lot of commercials so it's definitely possible I think Koko also got sponsored by as well in New York they had the players all over like the city like the US Open was much more integral to like people talking like people are talking about it all over New York at felt like there's there's a lot going on because New York is New York but I I saw a lot of people in US Open hats Roger feder hats talking about the US Open I saw players um you know on the big you know on the big signs everywhere Ben Shelton Coco goof it was really cool it was a really cool vibe to walk around New York while US Open was on especially this US Open where Americans are doing so well and to be there that day when this semi-final was set up was so exciting the cow atmosphere in the crowd like in on the grounds is awesome you just could feel the palpable excitement of everybody just that we we're doing so well for the first time in a long time in a slam for somebody to go because we've been close we've been close American men's tennis for a while now frit one Indian Wells we had a quarter of the round of 32 at The Wimbledon 2022 were American Fritz had that epic match against Rafa where he almost made the semi-finals was three points away from beating Rafa at Wimbledon um then we had Tommy Paul Ben Shelton Francis tifo uh we were heading towards something like this so TFO Cincinnati final so we finally we're finally here and it's awesome for TFO for and the FR that's shank TFO wins the first set 64 steals it playing much better tennis by the end of it it was a steady climb up it was a steady climb up turtle in the hair and Fritz is the hair and tifo is the turtle 64 for tifo playing much better tennis now and I'll show you the stats in the semi-final under lights in New York 64 and 47 minutes first of all I feel like TFO is serving extremely well let's see if the numbers prove me right yes TFO 64% first serves in first serve points one 81% fantastic this doesn't really matter because he's making most of his first serves in so it's fun um Fritz he's uh TIAA is converted on both of his break points also this so all around tfa's playing really well this could be better down the road he'd like to get this number up but still he'd like to come in more and he'd like to get the percentage up but anyway TFO playing really good really really good uh meanwhile Taylor Fritz Fritz plays his best when he gets a lot of first serves in he's not doing that so far he's not making a lot of first Serv he's not hitting a whole lot of winners Fritz needs to hit more winners and make more first serves he needs to dictate and make it about Power Ball striking if he can make him about Power Ball striking then he'll win but it's not about that right now diao is making it not about that so let's see what's your favorite movie set in New York mine is short circuit too that's a good question there's so many though I I need to think about it more not so bad here lovely summer weather in the mid Tupper 20s okay nice sweet um yeah I'm I don't even know really like I flew in from New York to Georgia today I'm sure it's hot here in general um in New York it was really nice it was uh it was not cold it was not cold it was also not rainy it was just it was just perfect perfect weather it was like 70° Fahrenheit for most of it so just perfect absolutely perfect 70 degrees with a bit of a breeze it was absolutely perfect maybe mid-60s at times but it was super nice super super nice so um yeah it's actually colder here in Georgia than it was in New York here it's uh here it's about a late late 50s Fahrenheit um into the 60s which isn't cold either but a little bit colder we've had 30 in some places today nice that's cool um yeah it's good I mean we're getting to the colder time times but it's good that it's not staying too cold and that's still pretty warm all right Fritz to serve he's got to mentally lock in cuz right now he can run with this momentum and if Fritz if Fritz goes down two sets to love then I Smell Trouble for Fritz Fritz has got a lock in in the second set I expect him to do just that 15 love I expect Fritz to lock in Fritz didn't beat Matteo bartini Caspar and Sasha ver of dropping just two sets for nothing he's not gonna I don't see him wilting here that big of a way back in Fritz that goes out though 15 all I do hope it's not a bad day at the office for Fritz it' be disappointing sing the four and Tifa back into Fritz cross score the back in slice to TFO for and Fritz down the line the back in TFO back in Fritz cross score the back in TFO down the line for in Fritz forand of TFO back in Fritz down the line for end of tifo what a rally bring it back to San PR Agy and it's thefo with the sliced forehand out it Spritz at 315 well that's too hot for Comfort yeah fair enough I'd like to see TFO win but I'd also like to see a match oh absolutely nor do I Anthony yet we want to see we want to see Fritz playing at least a solid match I want to see Fritz at least play a solid match here absolutely we need it come on back in for in a Fritz four in TIAA four and a Fritz back in slice of tifo back in Fritz cross score back in TFO that's in the net 415 45 but these two are good friends um they always joke around with each other I I for some reason remember interview moment in particular Fritz joke that tifo can barely speak English which is mean but they're it shows that they're good friends that will just say that something like that um they roast each other they're funny they're they've known each other for a while so um I'm sure that I mean they could play an exhibition right now and this would be like this this is an exhibition match that just so happens to be the most important match of both their careers they both got to buckle down and really be uh you know play their best tennis find their best tennis sure is y it's fair by the way really crazy thing that happened in New York I got I went to Broadway I don't know if anybody she has seen the show Hades toown or is listen to the soundtrack but uh first of all the show was incredible Hades town is amazing I've heard good things about it I need to watch it again to really get everything that happened but that show was incredible I'm not even a fan of musicals really in general but that was really like honestly like yeah I would recommend that to people who don't even like musicals like that show was freaking amazing um it was just an incredible genius piece of art really and to see it live and for everything to be out of 10 and be so perfect like one thing for a movie to be perfect is like that's cool um and I love movies like for a movie to be nearly Flawless like that kind of makes sense you do multiple multiple takes for a live show like that to be just feel so Flawless almost throughout is amazing like it's just amazing to see everything out of 10 like that so I really appreciate that by the way TFO 31 the service game but anyway I recommend sound to anybody even people aren't really big on musicals because that it really is a crazy good uh piece of art but um anyway uh funny story though um is that I uh I do theater or I've especially done theater in the past but I still do some theater and acting and I I want to do a lot in the future as well particularly acting maybe film acting and anyway uh I it just so happened that the person who ushered me to my seats on Broadway was a girl that I knew from Georgia in theater and I was like and I just recognized her and it was like completely unplanned I didn't know she was in New York the absolute chances of me knowing the girl all the way in New York from Georgia who was ushering me in the specific show was so unlikely and we took a photo together and caught up real quick and she even gave me this ticket to get like a free snack or a drink at the uh at the alcohol bar but um it was it was incredible like that the coincidence was so crazy is it only in New York I think right now it's only in New York because it's such a new show but highly recommend it's an absolute genius piece of art it's amazing I've only heard people liking it and it should be like that to be fair it's easier to understand many of the non-english players than it is to understand T I agree with you he mumbles through a lot of his words I agree with you but yeah that show is amazing um just the songs are so catchy and the show is uh there's a lot of depth to the story that um the writing is brilliant and it's so unique to the way it's told the story highly recommend all right 12 winners for both now serve T Fritz back and return TOA it's good to even get that return back one hand back and that's in the ground 40 love tppa trying to one hand back and return did you see the video of did you guys see the video where um ATP players were practicing one-handed backends because that's hilarious ATB media has been doing so such great things recently like this is what I've wanted for a while like I love all that stuff like ATP media making funny funny things with the players and showing players in their like funny sides and real sides and like the chats between players at UTS like I love that stuff for tennis I think it's great so but uh seeing the two it's like the one-handed back end is dead and then seeing demitra uh oh that's what it was okay so there was one where two and two players with two anded back ends tried one anded back ends actually I I got to mix up though the one that I'm thinking of is uh there's another one where the one-handed back end is dead and then those one-handed back end players practicing two-handed backends because apparently like the oneand backand is dead which it's not but um but yeah it's so funny um I don't know if we're ever going to I mean I think we're going to see another oneand a backend player win a grand slam I don't know when that is but I don't think the one-handed backend is a non non-starter in tennis at the moment I mean you see I you still see some players doing well MTI was one of the best performers this summer demitro is great sitz BOS is still he won Monte Carlo so you know they're still in the conversation to some degree if dri could just stay healthy he would be a problem for anybody but yeah MTI demitro who else is there there really nobody else at the very heght of the sport that has oneand a back in is there team is kind of gone W rinka is wiling down in the rankings bartini occasionally has a one-handed back end but I wouldn't say he has a one hand back in uh and pety parac card oneand back in musetti yeah yeah musetti with a bronze medal at the Olympics with uh good performance of ran garos then a great performance on the grasscourt swing getting to a semi-final of Wimbledon hey josep hello hello good to see you how you doing it's a backend we high from Fritz that goes out have you been watching a lot of the US Open Joseph any thoughts it's my first stream in a while because I've been in New York I've been at the US Open so it's my first stream in a little bit Yeah the US Open was cool it was so crowded it was so crowded uh I I knew that it was going to be because I had heard that Monday through Friday the first week was the most crowded five days of the US Open in history so it's been doing well and it's it's the numbers are only going to stay up because the Americans so um not just on the men's side but pagul as well so this us open's been a successful one for a Fritz inside in to the for TFO for Fritz sliding that goes out TFO 40 love I would say TFO is clearly playing the better tennis of the two to this point in the match so far clearly is it crazy to say he just looks more locked in than Fritz he just kind of looks a little bit more locked in than Fritz this is Fritz's first time in the uh in the semi-finals T Alo has been here before and like I said he's got unfinished business doing well watching plenty eyes are a bit sore okay feel you feel you that's great yeah what are your guys's favorite what's the best match that's happened in the US Open so far let me know your opinion for me it's TFO versus Shelton I still think that match was incredible still think that match was incredible Center versus Draper was fun earlier but it's not the match of the tournament but that one was fun to watch but um for me of the matches I've seen TFO versus Shelton but I need I need to watch some of the other matches because like I like I haven't watched all of the singles I haven't caught up just because I've been busy walking around New York and stuff I haven't been watching as much as usual ironically I wasn't going to the US Open every day as well Ser from Taylor and I was watching mostly doubles in New York when I was at the US Open forign return goes out from TIAA how's it going lito anyone for me they're both us hell yeah love it serve is a very good one from Fritz what do you love trying to juggle Aussie Sports Aussie rule rules and and R rugby okay interesting um yeah there there's there's a lot to watch I I know in the states that a lot of people are going to be watching this one tonight which I'm excited for it whenever tennis can get in the mainstream in America is it always fun for me US Open is a big deal anyway but what other sports are on tonight what else is being what else is on tonight so there's MLB on baseball games on which I guess is a big one baseball games Burns versus Brady UFC so the there's a UFC match and there's baseball I guess there's some soccer going on as well oh yeah NCAA so college soccer but the main ones I'd say then there's some volleyball going on NCAA so there's some college sports and then there's also baseball and UFC so I'm I'm hoping that I mean baseball probably be the most popular I'm hoping that a lot of American eyes fall in this one too NFL season started okay cool cool Rude versus Shang okay yeah Rude versus Shang is fun that that was a good one two really great forehand two talented guys Rude versus monf is always fun demitra TIAA was going to be great and then demitra started get got an injury which was unfortunate all right here we go 2 three so very up in the air who's going to be the first man to make it to a slam Final in 15 years history on the line forand that goes out and you would think that it's the first of many there's no reason that American sh America shouldn't play an absolute vital role in the sport in on the men's side I mean America has so many resources to get so to be at the top Echelon of the men's game especially if we could get a man in final suddenly the belief will start up again we have so many guys there um I'm not just talking about guys that are actively playing but guys guys that will come up in the future like it's a big deal like whoever gets whoever wins this their name will remain in history it's Pro I mean I kind of think it's probably gonna end up being the longest stretch of time that we'll ever have without an American man without and not getting to a final of Islam so whoever gets it will make history for mtiaa back in Fritz down the line for him TFO cross cor for and slice of Fritz and not that many countries in general I've got into the final of slams recent like in the last 20 years just because Serbia Switzerland Great Britain and Spain have been have gone to the finals of everything with Murray nidal feder and jokovic they've been hoarding Grand Slam finals so it's partly that mostly America's not been having as good performers recently Marty fish John nner James Blake like it's not like there's no one Sam query but I mean Jack sock but there's like no one of this kind of a a level like like a Taylor Fritz like a tifo who are now uh you know back to uh making SL finals I I mean you could say Marty fish is at that level for sure and James Blake for sure as well but um they weren't able to get to one one of these guys has an opportunity and it's in my opin it's a well-earned opportunity serve down T back in a Fritz for TFO inside out back in slice of Fritz back for him TFO cross score for in Fritz goes down the line goes out let's go t from TFO it's 33 F big fo's got to step up right here right now really lock in because if he can get a break here Suddenly It's gonna look really bad for Fritz he's gota he's got momentum right now he's got to use it two sets to love on Fritz is that would be I mean the even thinking about trying to beat uh tifo here in the semi-finals in front of of this crowd to win three successive sets it seems like nearly an impossible task so this is when tfo's got to really bucker down let's see I was really into UFC back in the day I like watching it it's fun I enjoyed the vage and J match apart from the result yes good one as well rematch of the Olympics you've got a massive population that always helps yes that too yeah we go like 300 million people so absolutely and a lot of tournaments professional Juniors uh Futures big Foo doesn't care about which I guess professional as well uh bigo doesn't care about all the media hype he just wants to play tennis yeah well I hope I hope he can perform to his best Tao will take this I think if I was a betting person my money would be on him I'm I still feel like Fritz is in this but let's see let's see I I kind of I kind of feel that though tifo TFO is going to be motivated for this one he's playing Amazing tennis getting through that Shelton match was a big Catalyst for him in this event no doubt he's up and running back in the fouring of Fritz that's a good shot Inside Out TFO leaves it pretty much at 4-3 already but it's 41 Ser from Taylor kicker that's a great serve from Taylor 43 for Fritz we'll see what Fritz can do himself I don't think Fritz is gonna let the uh let this go easy at all frit is not gonna let this go easy at all who's the better worst matchup for Center Taylor Fritz without a shadow of a doubt in my brain honestly that's my opinion Center J TFO and Cincinnati played great TFO did have his chances there but in my mind no shadow of a doubt it's Taylor Fritz Taylor Fritz the two matches that he's played against Yanik both Fritz played so crazy good he played so crazy good in both matches that he's played against CER uh when C when Fritz beat played center in 2021 Indian Wells he beat him like 64 63 Center was already like top 10 top 15 in the world Taylor Fritz was not that um and uh Taylor Fritz just dominated it was in Indian Wells so he plays better in Indian WS but Fritz played like a top five top 10 player it was incredible when I watched that match I said to myself Fritz might win a hardc court Masters sometime soon and I have proof that I I said that like right before I won Indian Wells um Fritz played incredible it was an unbelievable match from him and then they played the very no two years later at Indian Wells again one of the most underrated matches from last year three set match in Indian Wells Center versus Fritz incredible ball striking from both Fritz played amazing again Center just played out of his head um but Fritz uh Fritz played a hell of a match so both matches that Fritz has played against center it's been tough and if Fritz is in the final I mean listen I don't I don't know would it be fair to say that tifo they're both motivated to win for America right they're both motivated to win for them they're both motivated to win for America but TFO I feel like is especially motivated maybe to win at this stage because this is where he lost to against alcarez Fritz if he gets to the final I feel like he can I don't know I feel like maybe Fritz has a better chance of taking it all the way especially with Center in the final I feel like one-1 head to head is better than 4-1 Center leading TFO I feel like I feel like Fritz for me without Shadow of Doubt that's my opinion for me Fritz partly because we just saw siner uh beat TFA in Cincinnati as well by the way I just thought about it Cincinnati finals could be exact rematches on the men's side and the women's side when's the last time that's happened has that ever happened Center is a different Beast this year Well since Vienna last year really but it was I mean I always saw it coming to me saw it coming so Center center medy match was weird I I didn't watch it because I was I was walking around Time Square so I I didn't I didn't see it um I've only caught highlights afterwards of it but um I mean I've seen some good rallies from that match what was weird about it I'm honestly very tired in jetl because I just arrived in New York for my flight today I don't know if jetl does right where but I'm tired um didn't sleep that much last night it was an early flight slept a little bit on the plane that's what it is good shot from TFO backing down the lines 415 other cool thing I got to see um I got to see Forest Hills which is where absolutely iconic venue they just played the UTS uh Championship there that Ma won against uh against bublick and against Roode and against guys like that by the way big forehand from tifo so he gets the 44 some of the most important moments of this match coming up potentially but um yeah Forest Hills where they used to play the US Open pretty much up until like 1977 or from like the 1920s to 1977 or something like that so um yeah that's crazy bump into anyone famous uh I don't think so I saw Mary and Bari like right when we entered the grounds for the US open we kept seeing her but I didn't really I didn't speak to her um I mean outside of that not really I saw Taylor Fritz speak uh in like the booth behind the courts saw James Blake um and yeah just going around the city know I didn't see anybody famous I missed that match yeah me too TFO plays so strong now he's playing amazing goat they didn't play high level at the same time okay they're both unserious players at times they don't always so it's hard to be it's hard with them probably being my two favorite players on the men's side because they they uh I don't even know how to describe it but they they're hard to they play around too much I love Barty she's great two hands both sides won a grand slam then retired that's what all the players should do they should win a grand slam and then retire they'll be remembered as Legends forever cheat code absolute cheat code Taylor Fritz wins this Us opening to retire you'll be a legend forever completely kidding you should not do that unless you're sers four and cross SC for m t Alo for and a Fritz the foro cross score for and a Fritz down the line back m t Alo cross SC TFA playing so good forand the B oneand back in Fritz back in drop shot TFA what a point back in down the line it's the tape is going to go over tfo's there oh he has a flick B in the net he had an opportunity as well what a point I how he missed that TFO he did all the hard work thefo playing out of his head CFO at the US Open it's like the big three tiava is so fun to watch at the US Open man he's fun to watch in general oh I should have gone he was there TFA was there I can't believe he missed it I mean it would have been a hell of a shot but should have gotten it to be fair knowing how quick he is he was there all right second serve from Fritz seems like we're going to five4 well let's see for and if TIAA strange return backing down the line four T in the net 5 four 5 four Fritz just kind of tapering himself and just kind of waiting B has really stepped his game up lately and hardcore seems to be his favorite surface so I think he can throw Center some serious resistance okay I like that take I like that take too I hope so I hope so I like all three of the players left I like I prefer TIAA because he's a character he is more of a character than Fritz you would say so that's guess entertainment standards wise you'd choose TFO is tfo's racket longer than normal I don't think so does it look not longer than normal what what are the rules for your rackets like what you can play with like as a tennis racket like what are the actual rules can you make your tennis racket longer than it like than the standard racket racket is because it feels like at some point that could be cheating or something I don't know I guess maybe not if the best best the best Peak way to have a racket is the standard form and then if you make it longer just would probably make it worse for you but I don't know what the rules are by the way cool thing about this US Open I got to see a uh video preview in real time something that should have existed at the fa Draper match in Cincinnati and for like freaking 15 years now but um or at least like five to 10 years but uh they have a video review so double balances uh people hitting the ball over the like with their racket uh in front of like over the net before the ball gets to their side like stuff like that like there's video reviews now which uh I mean we're so late for adding them in but finally finally we have it by the way let's go a too I got to see her her play Live the woman's doubles and she uh she got her first Grand Slam since her singles victory at the French Open so let's go a too honestly really excited for her as well back in Fritz the backend TFO back in Fritz going back in back in that goes out from Fritz too many backend unforced STS that unfortunately errors count from Fritz just keeps growing and growing huh what is it at feels like it's a lot I mean I don't think this is accurate so 11 unforced air surely it's more than that for of tifo inside out back in TFO back back into Fritz going back in back in for and TFA inside in four into Fritz for TFA goes out 15 all Fritz three points away from the set have any good food I had Bagels every day every morning I had Bagels um and uh I was able I didn't have to take a hotel because I was staying at my uh at I guess my great uncle's place and he was um yeah it was awesome um he uh they uh they were they were giving me a lot of uh a lot of food to eat which was really nice making me food so um great uncle and um yeah so that was really cool yeah I mean other stuff I had pizza I had pizza New York famous for 99 Cent Pizza and uh the bagels are Heavenly oh what a return from Taylor Fritz with the forehand the fear hand the serve was not good enough but it was the return that was more impressive than the serve was unimpressive Taylor with an absolute bullet of a forand r two points away now from the set and will it be Fritz that just Peaks at the right moment here we go serf from TFO big moment Ser down T too good that's an ace that's an Ace from tifo 30 all big Ser down T perfectly placed how's it going Sean who's wi the wom I'm going Pula I'm going Pula paga in three sets no American want to make the final after what happened to rodic in the last one yeah yeah yeah I'll never forget the interview question there are you the saddest man on Earth right now he said I'm the happiest because I got to play such an epic match in front of so many people oh it'sit the tape again but now it's on Fritz's side pouring down the line back in Cross SC back in volley oh the points of the tournament TFO can get there that goes out the crowd is in absolute chaos people screaming TFO joins them in the crowd he's on the side the court ran into the Crowd Andy rodic watching on the last American man to win a major that happened 21 years ago and it's Fritz with a set point both men fighting to get to that final stage oh what a point what a volley Fritz has improved his court coverage he's improved his volley skills and that's a skill there gfo finds himself in the crowd and maybe he wants to stay there set point down sered out right into the body it's Deuce we're at Deuce 99 cents a slice or whole pizza slice pizza slice pizza 999 cents for a whole piece would be insane limits for Rockets are 29 inches long and 12.5 inches wide okay interesting okay that makes sense I would think there would be some kind of limit right all right here we go surf the for in Fritz back in TFO Cross Court for back in Fitz is there b put away from Francis TFO saves a set point in the last point then puts away a volley using the four Court to his Advantage man tfo's arms are gigantic huh tfo's arms are massive not really related to anything but this felt like it's worth it point out serve goes out second serve here for a Fritz big that goes out so let's go from TFO he's two games away from a two sets love lead five five we're even in the set though britz had a set point it was saved saved by tifo after that crazy crazy crazy point at 30 all hell of a match so far 55 hell of a match so far tfo's brought him more than Fritz though in my opinion TFO is playing the better tennis of the two let's see if Fritz can Fritz can step up when he needs to though serve from Taylor second serve for in tifo back in Fritz backand of tifo for and Fritz down the line is a great shot and that's some skill there from Fritz he's just a great ball Striker he's just a great ball Striker Fritz Tia frit talking to the UMP about something not sure about what what time for men's final honestly don't know that's a good question um not sure that's going to be on Sunday um Brian's in the net I think 7 o'clock I think usually it's at like 7 o'clock 7 eastern time I think it's way it usually is but I don't know for sure exactly schedule for Sundays and out yeah yep for in TFO back in Fritz cross SC back in tifo oh what a pass Fritz is there though the volley would have been a great shot from Big foe britz is there 40 love don't you guys love this all americ matchup for the big big spot in the final for and Chip down the middle for and Fritz put away 65 65 woman's final tomorrow is 4 p.m. okay it might be more like four o'clock 7 PM is late suppose it depends if it clashes with NFL games yeah I would love it if they work it around stuff like that that's what tennis should think more about than it does usually you know we should maximize the times when I mean I guess obvious but we should maximize the times when people can watch the most people can watch four o'clock is probably when the men's final will be that's when the woman's final starts to be fair so probably 4:00 but schedule's not out some crazy rallies depending where you live mate yeah four o'clock Eastern Eastern time I think most sports federations do that yeah they I mean I just it doesn't seem like ATP does that much let me know if you disagree but I feel I feel like ATP like often times I've seen it conflict with other big sporting sporting games although if it's at 4:00 that would be good because I it seems like most um like most vast like football games like that'll start later at like 8 o'clock nine o'clock we heard you met peaches yes that was fun yeah I was talking about that earlier yes super nice super nice moment was the first experience I had meeting somebody who watches like and is a fan of like my content and streams and that was cool and just to meet one of you guys was cool and peaches was super nice and um I mean she's always nice in the chats and she was very nice in person and we took a photo and um yeah um just yeah it was lovely it was lovely um I was very excited anyway CU it was right after um uh it was right I was watching a doubles match in Louis Armstrong Stadium the front row and it was right after uh the team that I interview that won the Atlanta open in doubles they got to the semi-finals of the US Open um they won and I was very excited then she came up she said that her name was Peaches I was like oh my God and yeah it was it was pretty awesome so that was a it was a cool moment the I love I love the New York vibe in general just the people there and everything it was really cool it was really fun there's always something going on a lot of music and talent and culture and so much to see and it was a very Lively City I I really en enjoyed it very loud City but very very very cool I I I enjoyed it a lot serve tifo the back in Fritz for in TFO for in Fritz down the line back in slice tifo for Fritz is there two points away from tying us up at a set of piece are there any signs from either player physical fatigue no not thus far so far both guys are looking good this is exactly what we would have wanted so far we're in for an American epic it's looking like like listen they look to me it looks like both guys can go the distance no no no real fatigue for either guy to be fair I mean TFA would be the guy that would have fatigue but these guys are fit I mean Fritz and TFA are fit and Fritz has only dropped two sets in the tournament so I don't think there's going to be much fatigue for Fritz and TFO is a fit guy he's gonna he's gonna be good I think ah Ser goes out TFO saved a set point earlier but he he's crumbling at this at this 56 game and it's largely to do with Fritz Fritz has uh stepped up his level towards the end of the set and he's matched Theo's intensity here late in the second set and now he might take the second I still feel like TFO is playing slightly better in general to be honest but so it's going to be an interesting third set but it's Fritz who's got three set points three more here kick serve to back in Fritz back in TFO for a Fritz inside in for in slice of TFO for a Fritz down the line back in TFO back in Fitz let's go with the volley 1-1 we're gonna play two out of three screw best of five they said we're gonna play two out of three two out of three sets at this point to decide who's going to make history for American men's tennis and get to the first final American man has reached in 15 years game on let's go all right I'm gonna look at Stats and I'm gonna actually all right I'm gonna head off for one moment I'll be right back and then I'm gonna look at Stats and stuff I'll be back in a moment e e e all right hello hello hello back back for this one popcorn let's go by Fon was up all until all hours last night yeah I need to do this one fison can not canot do uh the late night match today um I was in New York earlier today now I'm in Georgia and so and now I'm commentating from Georgia about a match going on in New York which is quite funny for me but um anyway I'm tired but gonna do gonna do this one it's been good so far love 15 for tifo in this third set all right let me know predictions for this third set I honestly have no idea so I I don't even want to particularly make a prediction um I I feel like Fritz takes the set though a tifo is playing great I'm gonna go with I'm gonna say Fritz takes the Set uh this a double fall from Fritz so it's left 30 I'm gonna say Fritz takes the set in a crazy crazy tiebreaker that's my prediction let's see first serve goes out from Fritz he got to make first serves Fritz that's why he plays his best opens up the door for the rest of his game as well aside from just three points off serve for and Fritz the for TFO huge forand exchange back and forth absolute bullets from the back for TFO the four of Fritz back M TFO back in of Fritz sta could come to net earlier it's a drop shot Fritz the back end forand back in vol Fritz too fast for my play byplay it's a forand volley Fritz put away 1530 crowd loves it we could have asked for more so far from this match this is everything that you would have wanted listen I the first match I watched as an eight-year-old kid Wimbledon 2009 final 1614 the 5ifth feder Beats Andy rodic I've been watching this sport for 15 years and no none of the American men have gotten even like it's this felt so far away for most of the time watching the tennis honestly it felt so far away even though this was happening all the time back in the day it's the tape four in of Fritz the back in of Tifa oh what a shot shot of the match so far by country mile backand screamer shot making is on how did TFA do that brilliant shot from TFO an absolute screamer one of the best passing shots of the tournament 1540 a big Serve by it's AET but 15 years this moment felt so far away somehow for so long only recently we could even dream about this moment not an American man reaching the final first time since 2009 or uh or an American man winning a grand slam for the first time since 03 Brit saves one another one to come here serve down the T for and TFO down the line it's a hell of a shot the ball striking of TFO is on when we started this match you were thinking is going to win if we're we're going forand to forehand if it's all about ball striking but TFO taking control there Fritz not good enough with the forehand there and it it just really that I mean just opened up the court for tifo Big Time way too passive and uh he guessed a little bit and thought TFO was going to go cross score but TFO went for the winner right away and he was very capable of doing so one zero for big foe make me feel old my bad my bad can't ask for more for an All-American matchup it's an exciting moment and it could have happened in Australia it could have happened in um could have happened at Wimbledon it could have happened at Roland garos it's cool that it happens at the US Open for an American man to get to the final again Anda to being in the final as well so it's going to be an American man and woman in the final for the first time since O2 which I guess was Venus Serena and ay SAS yanic ther and sabinka are not American but we will have at least least an American in both question time okay go for it shoot shoot serve I miss axi yeah I mean it seemed like yeah sis axi seems like such a fun moment of sports to live through I I I love watching through sis matches personally and axi is awesome as well for sure back in Drop shots not good from tifo love 15 who's the oldest female first-time winner of a grand slam who's the oldest first time winner of a grand slam female um could it be Waki so there are a few people coming to mind Waki I also think of sabatini I don't know when sabatini won but I know she couldn't have won for a while she didn't win for a while because she was losing to her Rivals so maybe sabatini maybe was niaki um um outside that I'm not sure let me know if either of those are right I kind of don't think they are but serve TFO four in of Fritz four of TFO cross score four in of Fritz going forand to forehand that goes out 315 2015 okay oh Flavia Panetta Flavia Panetta yep Panetta beats uh beats Serena stops her calendar slam and then goes on to win the tournament then retires good question that's a great question Joe yeah she was like 33 yeah I have a feeling that this gonna be an epic five Setter that's what Brad Gilbert uh and uh Patrick mackenro are saying before the match started on ESPN they're both saying this is going to be epic four sets five sets it seems like I mean it's definitely going to be at least epic four say already is match has played at such a fun intensity so far that's really the crowd has really attached itself to it as well I replayed moments in American uh replayed moment in American Sports history for a while first serve in the net second serve from Big fo kickster for and a Fritz cross score for Alpa for and a Fritz Inside Out Back M Alpa for of Fritz the back in TFO goes Cross Court the back in Fritz down the line for of TFO oh it's going out why' Fritz hit it drop shot Chris is there at the slice for him TFO why Fritz hit that was gonna go out surely right TFO hit that from Fritz hid that from like the midcourt but I thought it was going out I thought he had a better shot to hit anyway well they didn't even show it on the replay but I thought that was going to go out it was going to be close and then H not a good enough approach shot there it's hard to go down the line to that forehand then come in like that tennis is all about good kind of angles on the court and that was not a he just left the court open for PFO serf from Big fo forign of Fritz forign of TFO is a drop shot or chip of britz that's in the net two zero game tifo I hope you're right yeah I hope it is absolutely hope it is I think TFO just said I've got I've got Mike Tyson in my head or something like he feels like Mike Tyson I don't know if that's what he said that's kind of funny if that's what he said that's a good athlete to to feel like you're playing at that level I is that what he said let me know if you heard that too TFO said something Mike Tyson which is kind of funny you're just playing like the most important match of your life and you're just talking about Mike Tyson I think said I've got Mike Tyson in my head like I'm playing like Mike or something Mike Tyson obviously one of the best fighters of all time Legend of sport in general back and that goes out one of the best boxers ever ever ever iard just box a unpredicted able okay he said something Mike Tyson swear I heard Mike Tyson forand down the line that goes out from Fritz 315 I'm back I hope this match goes five sets it's so fun so far this is uh if the if we get this for cross five sets very similar to TFO Shelton but uh this is actually a semi-final when Tio Shelton played some people said like that could have been a semi or a final well this is backand slice of Fritz back in TFO pass for in to Fritz drop shot back in TFO oh right Fritz with the volley right shot goes right at TFO and SC 15 for Fritz Fritz TFO had no time to recover and get out of the way of the ball great play from Fritz with the drop volley Fritz has just improved so much and and so many aspects of his game it's been awesome to watch and I mean I think he wants to be that guy I think Taylor Fritz more than maybe any other American wants to be that guy who's the number one American who gets it done for the US just feels that way I'd like to see in moments in like in interviews that he's given where he said that but I feel like he really wants to be that guy that that leads the US to Glory that way see if he's able to do that this the closest he's come backing down line for and Chip of tifo it goes out 2-1 21 21 but I feel like Anthony will get tired at the end if the match goes to five sides Anthony can put a sock in about being tired and Mike and I are nearing 3:30 a.m. already that's fny yeah exactly y y'all y'all will complain all I'll probably complain at some point just to be annoying but yeah I'm fine for now 3:23 a.m. y'all are Savage it's an exciting era for America maybe not as great as their Heyday but still a good variety of players um yeah I agree I think it is I I agree with you tell me Paul I mean we have five players in the top 20 um two two American men in the semi-finals now of the US Open like we're getting to a good good time in the sport so it's exciting I remember watching that Panetta win incredible feat yeah I mean what a win I mean Flavia Panetta mar mar and Mari uh they won the Slam and then they just retired and that petta one was really crazy to beat Serena after she hadn't lost a single Grand Slam match all year I feel like there's a curse who's the last person to win the calendar slam there has to be some curse you know like there's got to be a curse on the Grand Slam nobody's done it in forever I think nobody's done it this whole century who's the last person to do it Serena got two matches away Brian's got two matches away jokovic got one match away it's kind of crazy outside of wheelchairs a lot of people a lot of wheelchair tennis players have been able to do it but yeah so Martina Hingis did it in 1998 with uh different partners in doubles last person to do it in singles I I I don't even know if that counts because it's not a like a team that did it but I would I would count it to some degree but uh but graph uh graph in 1988 Stephie graph curs put a curse on the calendar slam she she won the whole whole calendar golden Slam at what 19 years old and that put a curse on it nobody can do it ever again she did like the most yeah grafted golden Slam in 1988 yeah yeah so she was the last outside of Martina and doubles Martina Hingis not NAA um she she did the most incredible thing you could ever achieve in tennis which is when the golden slam as a teenager and then nobody else can ever win the Grand Slam again forehand crosscourt forand of Fritz that goes well out 15 love for tifo still cruising ahead graph hated playing tennis I've heard stuff like that that's crazy I've heard the same thing from her husband Agy and it's it's wild to hear some stories like that I mean it is a job at the end of the day it's like like um like yic like he uh uh he will uh he'll play basketball but he'll see him more as a job than anything else you know it's that kind of a thing by the way don't forget to like the Stream as well if you if you're enjoying it I would appreciate it anony h you're commentating um I would appreciate a like you want to drop a like be cool if we could get to at least 30 be pretty sweet band of Fritz the 4M Tio back in Fritz that's in the net 40 love and definitely don't forget subscribe as always to the channel to Quality shot tennis I'm hoping I could do the final but we'll see what happens I'm sure fison will probably want to do it but we'll see what happens serve out wide back into Fritz the back for end of tifo down the line 3-1 3-1 tifo maybe they bonded over their ha of tennis can you imagine two Pros who are legends of the game bonding over how much they hate it you like you meet somebody who has the same interest as you was like oh you're also an absolute Legend of of sport and tennis and an absolute famous icon who plays plays tennis that's awesome I hate it oh me too let's get married that's how it went that's how it went mid late 90s whatever that's exactly how it went I assure you exact excerpt of their conversation in fact steep Stephie must have had bossy parents yeah sometimes it can work but you question the the morality becomes gray a little bit at times German parents could mean strict parents no doubt yeah that's true that's true two man commentary final maybe we could see that could be cool pretty sure Stephie is battling nerves connected playing yeah I've heard I've heard that as well so I think that was the case big forehand from Fritz dir love high level from both you expect that but you expect that but it's good to see just time me final of a slam you don't want a poor level but it's good to see that we're getting a high level semi-final representing the states well for a semi of a slam backend down the line forand that's in the ground 315 315 and these two are going to push an amazing level out of each other that's why you love sports that's why you love tennis going one on one these two are going to push it out of each other still very up in the air how what the result of this match is going to be it seems like TFO to me is playing the better tennis and he's got he's ahead but things can change so we'll see Fritz by the way 56% first Serv one so far in the set which is not great honestly he does win that one though so he's six for 10 3-2 3-2 tifo with the lead it is interesting Jack Draper like the the videos of Draper um earlier that was such a crazy match Draper versus Center like to have both guys going through physical issues and having like two and a half hours just first two sets and some crazy shot making as well I mean what a strange match it was really strange to watch um why why does Draper vomit so much though like he V like like he vomited in a match in well like Indian Wells earlier this year he vom it at the US Open I'm pretty sure last year uh like in the first round of some slam match right after it ended he shook hands with his opponent and then he bombed in then all day today I don't know what's wrong with him but anyway he's a great player but strange um Center playing so well though he clut CER was clutch in that second set tiebreaker he was what an awesome player Center isn't he's just an awesome player and now that's what sucks is now whenever yanic Center does anything there will be comments like oh he's on roids and steroids and stuff but he's a great player jber has zbed in many matches that's what I think maybe diet it could be it's just strange think about an alternate reality if bjorg didn't retire 25 yeah but I think everybody has the journey that they have like bjorg still added like an eight-year career 17 to 25 um and uh maybe he just mentally couldn't handle it after after that he did try to come back a few years later so I don't know I feel like maybe everybody has a journey they have for a reason but if he could have maintained that level you know uh for you know for the years after that especially if he could have figured it out at the US Open as well um he never won the US open so if he could have figured it out at the US Open as well I mean he could have ended up with 20 plus Majors you know that could have been a that could have been a scenario like that Fritz goes out with the forehand looking at his box it's 30 love for tifo seems to struggle in heat Draper I agree I need to read bjor Borg's book yeah did you finish the Bjorn Borg book no because I didn't bring it on the trip with me I'm going to finish it now that I'm back I'm I'm like right at at the end though I'll let you I'll let you know Joseph when I finish it it'll be soon didn't help that Draper Drake soda during that match did he really because that doesn't seem good that's definitely diet then to be fair bjorg has made his Mark of tennis yes I mean he's definitely a legend of the game no doubt I mean he was uh at the time that I played he was one m one grand slam away from the slam record right because Roy Emerson had the slam record with 12 I think he got to 11 so yeah I mean he definitely I mean he was a legend in his own right it's a different time now with the slam record Being 24 slams I mean that's the number alcr is going to be chasing down and it's gonna take a while but now alcr knows like so like that kind of a crazy thing that can be done that's a different thing from Borg like if the record was 12 you're not going to go into it and be like I can get to 24 but if somebody already has 24 then you can be like I can get to I can get to 25 I could even get to 30 like some people dream of Al getting 30 slams I don't think it's fully out the question I don't know if with alarz but with somebody and maybe alarz who knows alcra does have the advantage of learning from The Big Three without having really to play them that much in his career if things go as it seems like they're going to go back and down line back into Fritz back in TFO it's a tape goes over for Fritz back in TFO back into Fritz for a pass for and volley for Fritz oh these rallies are great that goes in the net from fo that could have been a love 15 moment TFO misses the volley 15 love couple moments like that now with TFO playing good points but missing the shot right at the end I would dare to say that that's a that's a kind of a finishing problem you know mentally uh being right being uh confident to finish finish off games sets points and potentially the match we'll see but just a potential something to think about doing the hard work but not being there right at the end anyway it doesn't matter Fritz hits a forehand into the net 15 all appreciate everybody who's joined in to me and uh is using my voice um while watching the match or to enjoy the match always fun for me um forand that goes out 3015 for Taylor Fritz I'm reading Ash party at the moment she ateed traveling was homesick a lot yeah she I mean I remember the interviews at the end when she was talking about I need to read that too it would be an interesting read for sure I'll cycle through different tennis books um after especially after the board book I'll read like I'm I'm I've just gotten back into reading in a big way anyway I'll probably uh start cycling through reading a tennis book reading a novel and reading um some other some other book of some kind um about stuff that I'm interested in whether it's you know whatever it is gor Borg said I predicted Rafa would win Wimbledon back in ' 08 and he was right yeah Borg Borg knows tennis Borg knows the stuff 4-3 by the way Fritz holds alaras cames at the right time of the near end of big three I agree with you I I mean I kind of think I I was the guy that was kind of saying that alcaras is pro like realistically might end up with 13 Majors but after Wimbledon I kind of think he might the guy like if somebody's GNA get to like a crazy slam record I kind of think Al might might be the perfect guy it depends on if he stays healthy but in the scenario that alra stays let's say healthy for 90% of his career at least let's say that like alra stays healthy for 90% of his career at least um ALR got what grew up watching The Big Three got to see them live in person and learn from them got to play against Novak and see Novak at an incredible level get motivated by Novak who's playing some of the best tennis ever I mean even at 37 years old the Olympics final got to learn from the big three and see some of the best tennis ever played get a little bit from each of them um but not have to play them too much and then you also take into account um he started off super young winning slams really young winning slams in big tournaments um very complete player can play on all three surfaces um and uh yeah you take into account that he's an amazing player at Grand Slams and best of five in general um if he stays healthy he might be the guy obviously can play some of the best tennis anyone's everever played nobody's even questioning that at this point so um he might be the guy he might be like the perfect guy and also he has an incredible ride and yanic Center uh we'll see about who else comes up whether it's like a yaku menic or uh whether it's MTI or like somebody else stops up but or it's Draper but um or Runa who knows but um doesn't seem like that right now but um but you have uh you know you have CER who's an incredible rival but also let's be fair CER in five set matches has struggled and ALR is incredible in five set matches so if they play in major finals that go the disc you'd probably favor alcarez so he kind of has the perfect storm of having a great great rival to push him but also he's probably gonna be very winning so I kind of think it might be the absolute perfect and alcra is motivated to break records he's he's talked about winning 30 slams that's something he said he said he wants to sit at the big table the big three and be one of the best of all time when you think about it if alrass stays healthy for 90% of his career he might be that guy he might be the perfect storm and the perfect guy to end up like one of the best athletes of all time and to you know be be the be this this goat that wins 30 slams now it might not happen at all he might end up with what four he might that might be the what he ends up with it's very hard to win a slam slam isn't just a number on a piece of paper it's it's it's hard but um and we see that with how much both these guys want to win but I'm but he might be like the perfect guy we'll see big scor hands from TFO so gets to 53 thefo one game away from a two set to one lead no one is beating a fit outr at RG I think he's going to be tough at the US Open despite what happened this year and last year but we'll see I think he was just so tired but yeah I mean it seems like post I don't know I think I think people are are are too quick to group US Open into the time of year where alcr isn't doing as well I think post US Open is going to be more more the speed that's my prediction but let's see definitely I think roll and gal could end up as winning this he's so good on clay I appreciate it Max thank you that does mean a lot I think Draper is totally overwhelmed by it all and he exceeded his own expectations yeah Draper is great though he did he did well I mean semis without losing a set is nuts and he did it in a ridiculously oversized shirt too so that's the most impressive achievement of the Year getting to the semi-finals of a slam in a shirt that's twice twice your size it's pretty impressive without dropping a set Draper's top 20 in the world now too I think and Corda is like top 15 so happy for both of those guys they uh they should be that high I mentioned earlier but if Fritz wins this match he'll be number seven in the world if Al uh I was GNA say ALR if uh Tifa wins this match he'll be number 13 he'll pass uh he'll pass Tommy Paul as the number two American as well and you have Jack Draper at number 20 in the world fa is at number 21 and then you have Shelton at 17 cord at 15 run at 14 it's an interesting rankings at the moment to be fair ah goes out from Fritz it's 30 all TFO two points away from the set that makes sense of Draper for semi yes which is my probably why Fritz is losing right now to be fair part of why big part of what potentially Fritz is for semi tfo's been here before strange shot from tifo tifo hit some really strange shots but that was not not a high percentage shot to play in a moment where you probably want to be high percentage at 30 all because uh Fritz holds here you never know what could happen at 54 he did just hold to love though tifo so I reckon TFO goes up two sets to one but let's see by the way I didn't realize CER he has got 10,480 rankings points and that doesn't I guess that excludes the 400 but from Indian Wells which I mean maybe you shouldn't count at all but which is maybe fair but wow 10,480 points um Center has so Cent would have over 11,000 points in the ATP points if he wins the US Open that would be a that's a lot which kind of makes sense that's from Beijing to uh to now that's when Center really started doing well but 11,000 points is n nuts what's the most uh what's the records for most ATP points somebody has had is there like a list for that I think maybe ultimate tennis statistic has that oh yeah yeah most ATP points so most ATP points yeah so okay so CER would have 11,180 if uh if CER wins the US Open he will only be behind wow he will only be behind the big four for most ATP points ever which is a little bit misleading in some ways but um because the tour has not always been the same with points and stuff but uh jokovic had 16,950 in uh 201 uh 16 uh June of 2016 Federer had 15,903 in 2006 which is that's unbelievable um that was at the end of the season because he had such a good 2006 Nadal had 15,390 in April of 2009 Andy Murray the legend the goat had 12685 in uh November of 2016 sis is number five he had 11,0 and5 in um August of 1997 meddev had 10,780 in September of 20121 and Agy had 10,739 in August of uh 1995 those are all of the players that have had at least 10,000 ATP points Center in the live rankings currently has 10,480 he's got 10,480 so a center no matter what will be the eighth person to have gotten 10,000 ATP points but uh if he wins um but if he wins the US Open he will jump up all the way to number five on the list of most ATP points ALR 21 is the youngest ever twin Force slams yeah it's actually surreal that he's won the channel slam this year as well at 21 years old back end crosscourt the back end of Fritz back end of TFO for to Fritz for TFO going to Fritz squash shot for TFO Fritz runs he gets there that's a great lob that's in Smash Slice on the for end of T Fritz back in the point oh goes out love 15 Fritz no huge celebration just like he knows what what he's done kind of planted a seed into tfo's head that this isn't going to be easy here love 15 Draper 20 live rankings yep two years ago Center is struggling with this with his Fitness levels yeah Center Center is retiring out of matches and everybody was like the center is made of sticks he'll never be top five in the world ah I said he would be number one don't think Al had the mental discipline of the big three I could be wrong though I I I think I I reckon he kind of does but we'll see we'll see I I'm very high on ALR mentally I think is I don't know I'm high on ALR mentally we'll see though it's going to be interesting to see it's not a bad opinion by any stretch forehand that's in the ground of TFO backhand return of tritz has come uh come for to save the day listen their backand down the line today from both players has been very strong like this is some of the best I've seen both of them hit the back in down the line' been very good from both love 30 very interesting moment here I appreciate that Marina thank you thanks 30 there could be other guys besides Carlos and yanic that could win Grand Slams yeah I mean I think yeah well yeah I'll talk about that during the next changeover but or I'll try to remember but right now focus on the mat all focus and eyes are on the match for and Fritz that goes out 1530 audible let go from TFO three points away man New York was New York was fun it was fun to be there and feel that atmosphere I mean you can feel it through the you know watching through the TV screen but it was just it's not like you you're there and then at least for me in Louis Armstrong It's not like you're there and then suddenly you're like wow this is even better than TV like you can tell how crazy it is on TV but um New York brings it some of the most fun and the mo most hyped tennis crowds in the world maybe I South America holds a candle like Argentina but only them maybe for me all right two points away that was not a good uh not a good return from Fritz 30 all 30 all sirf from the big from Big fo AET what a big moment this is this is a big point you love it when a point is like almost feels historical like even before it begins 30 go serf here from TFO a wide the back in the fritz back in TFO the back in the fritz every shot counts back in TFO for in Fritz inside out back in TFO back in Fritz back in TFO back end of Fritz the forehand of tifo for Fritz down the middle out goes out 4030 for TFO striking the ball well from the back and it's Spritz who's missing first TFO so locked in and that's what it has to come down to with both guys playing at the level they're at Theo's locked in and he could got one big serve and the set could be over let's see epic this is an epic one already I don't care what happens for the rest of the match this has been a good one serve down the T for an Fritz for taaa back in Fritz that two sets to one for tifo one set away from doing what he couldn't have done what he couldn't do two years ago against Carlos alarz he sees his moment and he's trying to get there great stuff great stuff for tifo I appreciate Marina you buy any cool merch at US Open yeah I bought a poster I bought a poster which I'm super excited for um I bought a poster I actually don't have it with me now because I mailed it back to my house because I wasn't I didn't have space to bring it on the plane because I only brought like one backpack on my plane so I don't have it with me actually but I did buy a poster so did you buy your bring your own food out the US Open little bit but not much no I uh we I I bought some food at the US Open um if you're going to the US Open I recommend the chicken fingers and uh and um fries that are at the uh I mean pretty basic food but uh that are at the um at the Louis Armstrong Stadium because those are uh if if it's open because that was very inexpensive and it was good I really like the way Shang plays yeah awesome such a great passing shot forehand you're a bit behind I'll see if my stream is behind I'll try to catch up if that's the case it's the big foe yes and also I'm almost certain that Draper doesn't have the amount of people around him as all the top 10 players have that's interesting um Jack Draper maybe I haven't noticed that but by the way in that set 91% first serves one for tifo 63% for Fritz going into the match we felt like Fritz was going to have the better serving day but maybe it's TFO so far not been a particularly long long three sets but it's been it's been a great three sets like we've only been playing for just over two hours it's been perfect yeah I mean tifo kind of has had a better serving day than Fritz he's gotten more first serves in he's won 10% more on first serve which is huge 44 for 53 is insane he's lost nine points on first serve so I I would reckon that he's doing I I reckon he's doing better on service also had T has more Aces than Fritz kind of curious about this net points one they're both doing pretty well at the net this is good for Fritz maybe he wants to come in more although to be fair it's maybe a little bit misleading because when he's coming to net he's coming in off of balls that are a little bit more clearly winning than tifo tfo's more a little bit quicker to come to net even in not incredibly advantageous positions where he cuts off angles to a degree that's seems already very winning almost no matter what but yeah behind the scoreboard oh okay yeah well I'm I'm gonna see if my stream is behind then if I if my stream is now kind of C caught up then I could um then that'll be more in sync Dr BR probably has good team as Dad Rand the LTA in England yeah I mean he's I mean he's had good access to get to this point but I mean he's got all the talent in the world that kid so yeah he he's earned his um he's earned his spot to where he is so absolutely same thing for Jessica paga by the way like people say that about her but what a player what a player also yeah I mean your dad being a billionaire also is a very weird complaint about a person like that's just social media being social media it's not none of it is real anyway fourth set to play here both players have left the court that's a nice photograph just the they're show the bench is just empty right now benches are empty after absolute high intensity from both for two two hours Michael Russell never Smiles he never smiles and Fritz's box he looks like a freaking evil like evil villain that's a famous person what's her name famous actress forgot her name um but uh but Michael Russell never Smiles even when Fritz beats ver in the quarter finals he was not smiling I don't know why weird when I saw him in Outland he was in smiling either at any point that's why my backhands crap my dad's my dad's poor Fair yeah agreed but being a t player is a private Enterprise you need a lot of money if you want eight to 10 people around you as an Entourage yes that's true um yeah you do need to uh that I mean that's what a lot of people if you want to get to the like professional professional level like the highest level it does take a lot of money which is which is unfortunate to some degree and um I feel like the tours could do better at um I at financing players and helping them compensate themselves better and um prize money and other stuff um like we're very topheavy in tennis which is unfortunate and it's all I mean tennis has always been that way where you know it's been a very you know Eli sport where it can be hard for people of you know sometimes it's been hard it's been hard in the past anyway for people of all you know all all all backgrounds to uh to get into so and um you know people who are poor and um um have had a harder time sometimes in the tennis landscape so it' be nice if we could turn that around as much as possible get Elon mus to sport you sponsor you yeah then he got millions got X to sponsor you get Fritz win the fourth set we'll find out I I'll say this I've seen Fritz quite a few amount of times win a set that you don't it feels like he shouldn't win but then he often loses the deciding set I've seen that with Fritz a few times um we'll see what have been the grand slay matches Fritz has lost this year so Fritz lost in five sets to musetti yeah he uh he won the fourth set there after being down two sets to one but then he lost the fifth 61 so that's kind of what I'm talking about he lost to Casper Roode in four sets at the French which is a good result to be fair and yeah he lost in four sets to jokovic in Australia that's crazy everybody loses in tennis everyone's a loser everybody loses all the time only one person a week wins and there's no way you can win every week you lose all the time if you play tennis all the time you have to only if your name are F Nadal and jokovic you don't lose that much but you still lose because you're playing against Nadal and jokovic or I mean and in general you still lose that's crazy tennis is a losing game good sir from Fritz 15 love I do feel like had an interesting prediction he said he thinks TFO wins in a fourth set tiebreaker now I'm kind of curious if he's uh right on the money we'll see four end of tifo the four end of Fritz down the line is a great shot what he l do remember Tel does l uh Fritz lead that t six to one Fritz leavs that t six to one so TFA has not beaten Fritz since 2016 um so really in the matches that when both of them have really been like the players that they are now tiapa has not beting Fritz so we'll see if that plays any kind of a role here we'll see if it plays any kind of a role I think Rafa retires soon I have the same feeling feder said that he talked with Rafa and that Rafa seemed it seemed to me that what Roger was saying is that Rafa was uncertain about when he should retire it'd be crazy if they both retire at the labor cup like M if they both retire at the labor cup I reckon Novak will also retire at the labor cup just to kind of finish off the trio of retirements at the labor cup at that point he has to um but Rafa plays the labor cup then he said he's not sure after that I don't know what it is about the labor cup and retirements but um anyway I hope plays after that um I know I'm in the minority it seems like but I could imagine a scenario where Rafa plays until the end of the year and then retires at the Paris indoors he's had a he's had good success playing in fromont of the Paris crowds um I don't know if he wants to play that much longer that seems to me like it could be a time to retire in about a couple months a little bit less we'll see or no really about in a couple months four in of Fritz Cross Court the four of TFO that's a great shot tifo with a shot making on fire the crowd loves it no love is a losing game fair enough I know that song title I search it up for made me Wine House yep would be interesting if V mus was in the crowd of a tennis match we don't need it it's fine I'm fine with other celebrities lmon well Miranda can be in the crowd I don't need I don't need Elon there it's okay that goes out 40 love players like P and Navaro have had no have no Financial worries and can hire whoever they want to help them other players have to work their way up not to say that the men the mention haven't worked yeah it's yeah it's just a comparison yes they've they've had an easier time but that doesn't mean that they've had it easy um so yeah I mean I think that's fair to say for nft Al has too good drop shot was not good enough from Fritz Fritz doesn't have a great drop shot in my opinion I don't know how fo has made this far I never expected it hey Marcus he's played great though I mean that match against Shelton just showed that he was uh he's come to he's come to New York to play so I didn't expect it either but I mean he did get to the finals Cy so we can't be too surprised the final US Open really when is the last time that the Cincinnati final was the same uh for men's and women's in the US Open finals I can't imagine that that's maybe ever happened or at least happened any time recently I'm G to look it up because that seems insane to me if that does happen goes out from the forehand of TIAA 15 love some more quick points to start off this set can't find the stat I don't know if it's ever happened I can't find the stat on um on Twitter yeah I don't know for in of uh Fritz the back in of TIAA back in of Fritz longer rally here back in crosscourt back in of Fritz four in of TIAA for to Fritz cross SC for and TFA it's big huge hitting is insane from TFA back in Cross cour the back in slice of FO back out TFA is playing out of his head this crazy this some of the best tennis American man has played in major in a long time from TFO in my opinion to be honest I I don't I I I kind of feel like I mean TFO is playing better probably than he did even a couple years ago he was playing Amazing then I reckon I reckon this could be the best tennis in American man has played at a major since uh since Andy rodic Wimbledon I reckon it is and I mean it kind of makes sense he could get to the final here so Taylor Fred's playing well like incredibly well himself he was playing Amazing against Sasha he needs to find his best level here to to stay alive but there are rags and richest stories in tennis talpa for example yes tala is a big one especially with his parents too bigf had incredible urge to prove something he might just do that yeah I remember seeing a video of him as a junior and I mean just like so talented I remember leaving a YouTube comment uh to say like I was here like before this guy like becomes like incred like great great um tii said he wanted to be world number one I don't know if that's going to happen but I you never know no but good for tifo man um back in of Fritz that's in the net 30 goal once the last time that a um that a uh black black man was in the uh was in the final or black black American was all the way back to Arthur Ash James Blake out to the semi-finals I think but that's it's good to see in Tenn just it's good to see people from you know people from all kinds of you know cultures and everything and backgrounds getting uh doing well in the sport that's what you want to see did you see that shot earlier where center fell over yeah that was insane I didn't think it was as like people when I saw it I people are acting as if it was like the greatest sh point of the year I didn't think it was that but it was it was a great shot for sure Draper should have put away this matash though let's be honest but it no it was great I mean Center is insane so I wasn't particularly surprised by it it was a good shot forehand of tifo the back end of forand slice of TFO backand of Fritz back end TFO the back end of Fritz back end of TFO back in Fritz down the middle four in tiao four in Fritz back in crosscourt back in Fritz down line forava is insane that goes out FR SP is fist in the air and he should 21 come on from Fritz crowd stands up getting some of the crowd behind him Taylor Fritz at 2-1 in the fourth set sabba and Center trying to do hardcore major double Saban has reached the four straight hardcore major finals does nobody realize how crazy that is she's reached four consecutive hardcore major finals what was the last one she didn't reach 2022 Jabor strion like think about how long it that feels like it was forever ago that's the last hardc court major final sabinka did not reach sabinka is crazy good on a hard courts Center as well center with his second consecutive hardcore final let's see how how far the street goes he's going to be defending Australia I'm trying to think the year two Americans won the US Open men's and women singles um was it 2003 did Serena or Venus win in 2003 seems like they won like every year so maybe could have been henon or something though okay it was henon so um just want to slam or the US Open won the US Open um I don't know what about 2002 yeah it was 2002 Serena won and uh Sis one in 2002 yep I heard that people were complaining that the woman who played Amy wasn't the right fit oh that documentary yeah Malia Washington made final of wimbl in okay was that the last one yeah s reached the final of uh Australian Open 2008 so maybe he was the last one maybe it was the last person to do so or last last man to do so I should say Center May show up at the final of some issue yeah I hope not though 2008 AO okay cool yeah 2008 Australian Open so also a while ago to be fair let's see what happens tiao Ser near at one two on serve first serve is a perfect serve down the T 15 left first Ace of the set for Francis second service game both guys comfortable on serf so far in the set we've got some great points in this match this has been a this has been a lived up to expectations for me it must be absolutely Electric in the stadium right now like man all the people who are in there are lucky forand cross score the forand of tiao down the line back in Fritz cross score the back in TFO for of Fritz for TFO oh what a shot from Francis turns on the style TFO is playing like a top three player just like tfo's playing insane tavo's playing like he could win the whole thing I mean listen TFO is playing better than Fritz and I mean that's why he's up two sets to one TFO is playing like he could win the win a major you know he wants it bad geez goes out though double fault 315 jinx them there's it's always a jinx every time it's a jinx you can't every time you say something it's a jinx s be Rafa in the semis lost to jokovic in the final yeah son played absolutely insane in the semis it was absolute joke that song Only reached one he could have gone to a final of Roland garos or Wimbledon he was great on all three services underrated player genuinely underrated player I hope the one hand back playing stot and tennis is a wall start it's not it'll come back people think it's lost it's not back in tifo four and a Fritz that's a shank goes out m is keeping alive yeah demitro as well but he needs to he needs to freaking not he needs to be healthy one hand back and I I yeah I don't I don't think it is one hand back in is still still alive and well way back and still alive and well it's gonna it's going to come back I mean tennis keeps changing and uating and the game changes people think it's lost start it's not it's not forehand the back in Fritz completely misses it two two I I mean I I'll be honest I reckon this version of tifo is gonna could be scary for Yanik um TFO has beaten Yanik in Vienna um match is not over Fritz could still win this but if it is very well could but if if Tifa wins this Center tifo Center is up 4-1 the head to head he uh beat him in Cincinnati but listen it was a very close first set TFO just kind of went away there it was his first big final TFA got a chance to learn from that one it's left 15 here it's got to be careful for real um TFA is serving very well too he doesn't want to go down a break he was able to break TFO once but it's not going to happen every time like that um they also played a couple times in 2019 but uh really if you count just the last three meetings uh TFA it's 2-1 and uh and Tifa made the Cincinnati final relatively close I mean wasn't that bad so like I don't know I I might have to retract after seeing the match I would maybe retract on Fritz has a better chance of winning the final than TFO because TFO is playing Amazing he did against demitro as well to be fair so did Fritz against F it's a tape oh that goes back into side from Fritz it's 1530 two points away tifo from a break 1530 to two points break right here is what the box says easier send than none you try four in Cross Court before Fritz back in tiao that goes out come on from Fritz 30 all he needs this Fritz needs this do you think SAA can win the US Open with the American crowd tomorrow um I think paga wins it in three sets I think the crowd will be a factor I think Pula wins in three sets I have Pula winning her first major I think I think sabinka should have done it last year she'll be I mean she could do one better now but I'm I'm gonna back Pula I'm gonna back Pula I mean she Sur it's going to get her give her a lot of confidence that she was able to do what she did against moven still being in the tournament somehow seemed like she was down and out there for tifo I mean it's playing insane ao's out but TFO is playing out of his mind 4030 only person who has played better in this tournament I can name two boic VZ an against alarz and Alexi poin versus jokovic three highest levels of the US Open so far I don't really know but 4030 Fritz serve out wide back at in the net 3-2 3-2 for Fritz that's a big hold we'll see if Fritz can carry on this little bit of momentum he's got right now for the rest of the set that was a great hold from Fritz so Center might need some magic spray yeah um I not even a spray but a just a lotion I guess but felt sorry for grigor yeah it's a sad sad thing he have to retire out of two slams in a row I hope he can have can we just like all like can he have a run at the Australian Open can demitro please please I I I give a wish to the tennis gods that demitro has a has a run to the fin the US Open that would be so sweet it would be so sweet I don't even need him to win I don't need him to win I don't care if he could get to the final of Australian Open all is right it's so sad Demetri's career has been sad he's had to retire like eight times in the last like I don't know like five years out of slams guy is so fun to watch me too he is my favorite yeah exactly I had a feeling pagul would defeat ego with American crow boss because pag is playing wonderfully yeah she's been playing Amazing so I I re I have Pou in three sets but I like I said earlier I haven't watched that much of the the woman side he won Brisbane this year was that this year this has been a long tennis season huh but that's I can't believe that was this year feels more like Brisbane last year let's hope Novak doesn't get in the way to win an Australian Open yeah we'll see 3-2 here in this Fritz TIAA match it's gonna be either Tifa versus Center or Fritz versus Center in this US Open final which I love I love by the way I I did get to see CER in person which was very exciting for me at the US Open I got I got to catch a practice the stands were completely full for him practicing it was insane even Shon who was there earlier the stands were in completely full but demitra and C are practicing on side to side courts and the the bleachers were completely sold out for like literally sold out they're filled to the brim with people watching Yanik but to see Yanik play in person was awesome it's just so fun to watch that guy um and I'm I definitely I'm going to watch him play a match at some point in the future um and I and right when we got to the practice courts I didn't even know who was playing but there's so many people Shon was playing not as many as for Center but there were a lot of people shant was playing I got to get I caught some footage of shant practicing so I'll uh send that over to um well we'll upload that to the channel so that'll be cool backend down the lines from both have been amazing tfa's backing down the line has been rocking it great shot and it's been a really key key shot in this match that's helped him a lot foran cross score what a shot foran and Fritz he's way out inside the court though back in slice that's in back in down line again for and Fritz for TFO inside out back in slice of Fritz if you don't think this level is high enough for a major semi-final just watch that point this is a high level match these two guys have both earned their ways to this stage and that's what's made this exceedingly fun like I I understand like if it was like two runs like Tommy Paul at the Australian Open last year no offense to Tommy Paul was an amazing player but then I would I know there wouldd be a lot of hate like there'd be a lot of hate like how how is this the semi-final but these two guys have played amazing in this tournament and they've beaten some great high level players back in Cross Court back oh TFO got greedy there goes for a back end down the line would have gone the crowd invested even more than they already are 45 hell of an atmosphere there here are the people watching on for in Fritz the for of tifo back in Fritz the lob whip High tiao smash oh Fritz is there what shot outside the camera oh what shot from Fritz CAU me his way back into this game it's 4030 watch out all it takes is one push and then suddenly you're back in the game hell of a shot from Fritz that came out of nowhere hell of a back end I mean I got to retract my statements about the fritz backend it's better than I've given a credit for the form on it is weird and it sometimes can I feel like big hitters can overpower it but I mean it's it's a good it's a great back end it's been great in this tournament first serve in the net from tifo second serve suddenly Fritz is in the hunt kick serve back in of Fritz for mfo back into Fritz forfo cross SC for Fritz forfo with an extended gr forehand inside out he wants to be that America in the final he wants to get the Justice that he feels he didn't deserve few years ago you got so close not quite against Carlos he wants to get a stage further what a huge forehand shot how fast was that 86 miles per hour on the speed speed radar for the serve that forehand was definitely faster than that anyone know where I can get some clust the ball these jokes man I think next year's AO is Novak's last chance to win another slam it's a fair opinion honestly I I reckon out Wimbledon he Still's got a chance at some point um but we'll see we'll see I remember at the austral it was random I was watching the Australian when I was watching the Australian Open earlier this year I somebody said what's the last slam slam final that Novak reaches and I I very quick I can't remember who it was um might have even sean it might have been you in the chat but uh let me know if it wasn't or if it was but um but uh somebody asked me what's the last slam final that Novak reaches I without hesitation said Center beats Novak in the final of 2025 Wimbledon be the last slam final Novak reaches we'll see if that happens I didn't I said without even thinking about it but I reckon that that could happen actually forand chip forand of tifo that's a great shot from tifo for so it's 305 people paid to watch someone practice no it's free free practice course practice is awesome I've seen some Legends at AO yeah it's amazing seeing Shon is insane she's an alien Shon is crazy what an athlete I can see that the likes of Carlos and yanuk want to win more slams yes exactly trying to think the current one slam winners in WTA can win another slam yeah I don't know I'd like Andre ASU to but it doesn't seem likely at the moment who else is a onetime slam winner Coco KOCO will win more slams I think back in TFO Cross Court the back end of Fritz forand of TFO inside out the back end of Fritz forand TFO get Cross Court the forand of Fritz Cross Court for tiava big crosscourt back in of TFO crosscourt back in the backend back in Fritz back in tifo down the line four Fritz four of TFO four in Fritz down the line back in of TFO cross score with rally won the rallies of the tournament no for sure foran down the middle back and slice TFO back and slice of Fritz cross score back and slice tiao let the on the winner it's been a hell of a rally back in that goes in back in t Fritz crosscourt forehand Fritz the other way Taylor Fritz wins one of the best rallies of the 2024 US Open get on your feet get on your feet and the US crowd stands with these two guys battling with every poror of their bodies and soul TFO got so tired at the end there's the first sign of exhaustion and it's would be inhuman if they weren't exhausted after that I don't know how many shots that was but frit shown some grit Taylor grits worst pun I've ever made Emma rakna rachna yeah oh yeah rakna I forgot I forgot she's one slam Wonder or winner what slam Wonder Maybe not really only Koko kok has won I still reckon Koko is going to win a lot rabaka should as well oh my God what return from TFO this is stupid nobody nobody should be talking bad on American men's tennis right now what a return TFO so casual saw that ball like it was a w like a like a football 36 winners for Fritz 33 for tifo level has been high server Fritz Amer 23,000 watching on and so 23,000 people watching on 43 for Fritz yeah Keo only has one yeah it's hard to believe that Coco and racho both have w seral sounds good right now for dinner might as well especially if it's very late then that's can do that seeing seren and Venus play doubles was amazing that sounds cool that sounds really cool yeah pra practice is really cool not practice but when I was in Atlanta I got to see the Brian Bros obviously play an exhibition match and that was awesome that was incredible I really am gonna boast forever if if if the Brian don't play other exhibitions like that where they have press postmatch interviews I asked the last interview question of B Bob Mike Bryan's playing career in some way you could say they'll probably have have other stuff that they play but I don't know if they'll have a postmatch press like they did in Atlanta but that was fun to do it's breakfast time soon it's different times all over from everybody which is awesome Lexi has hacked Max's YouTube account does sound like Lexi lunchtime here I had an early dinner for the stream I guess kind of early kind of not I usually eat it later I guess is what I mean I'll probably eat some snack and then go to sleep I need to wake up early tomorrow for a ma for a match I'm playing um first position doubles tomorrow and then alta alta doubles which is the first time I'm playing one uh the first position in an ala match so I'm excited because only last year I got back into playing like uh leagues and stuff and uh I stopped playing tennis for like five years so that's fun for me it was good also to watch The Doubles at the US Open to get honestly to for tomorrow I'm not as good at doubles as singles so I'm a little bit nervous and also I haven't played all week because I've been at in New York at the US Open by the way total points won 105 for both that's unexpected I I would have thought TFA would have a little bit more but yeah it has kind of feels that way in some way it's been even or I don't know they've both played well let's put it that way people yelling between first and second serve which is always a pet peeve um 15 love for tifo two hours and 39 minutes TFO at the line for this surf forign Fritz the backend of tifo Cross Court back Fritz that goes out 30 love a what match exhibition exhibition match and Isner yes Brian's and Isner yes it was it was awesome yeah we didn't post it to Quality shot tennis but there I do have a video right before the interview started of me fist bumping John which was awesome I was standing next to John and I was just like oh my God like twice my height for real for and these forehand are massive from both back in slice in the net TFO is striking the ball like like a I don't know Taylor Fritz has beaten tifo six times in a row but this is the best version of TFO he's played by a country mile you'd have to say use the leg stay positive is what um 4 three come on Russell says get some energy interesting comments from Michael Russell very loud and verbal to frit just get some energy stay positive 43 that is the right comments to say and tfa's playing well but fris is right there in him score-wise right there with him and he says use the legs I'm pretty I mean because well I mean first of all on the return to serve but also the points have become very physical athletic um which is what TFO wanted and uh Fritz that's where he got that's where TFO has a big Advantage is foot speed so use the legs back end inside out for and a Fritz that's in the net 44 and there there is negative there is frustration negative body language of T from Taylor 44 TFO so get this Francis tifo is two games away from a major final Francis tifo is officially two games away from a grand SL final just so we're clear I'll say it again Francis tifo is two games away from Grand s final American in the final and TFO with the resurgent end of the year in 2024 great stuff back end crosscore the back end of Fritz back end TFO back end of Fritz back in TFO Cross Court for in to Fritz inside out back in TFO for in to Fritz for in TFO down the line the back in Fritz Cross Court back in TIAA goes out britz is using the legs that's the he knows that point was massive there 15 love I think Fritz is gonna be that silent killer I think Fritz 6'4 I just felt it I think Fritz wins the set 6'4 I just felt it back in TFO back in Fritz the back in slice of tifo back in Fritz back in TFA back in Fritz oh what a shot down the line forand slice of Fritz he is using the legs but it is 15 all that could age really badly to be fair Theo breaks here has been particular but I think 6'4 no tweeners Anthony never never I never like watching Asner too many aces not a good mover yeah hey what's up peaches hello hello I'll send our pick to Bas on email are you at the match no I am no I am at uh I'm back in Georgia I TR I went on a flight from New York to uh to Atlanta today and I'm back at back at home just live streaming

Taylor Fritz at 5'4 I'm feeling six4 Fritz I felt it I felt it I'm feeling six4 Fritz TFO could get this in five though but I think I think at I think Fritz wins the set 6'4 let's see please repeat your insta uh Anthony's tennis Hub so so anth Anthony's tennis Hub that's the Instagram so Hub like H Anthony's tennis Hub yeah what does Fritz's girlfriend actually do look pretty looking pretty in makeup she sits there hard life okay the only way I see Arena losing is if her serve obviously suffers the crowd gets very nasty and three she is bribed under nor normal circumstances I can't see Jesse beating her yeah well I mean we'll see I mean it's a fair opinion sablena has been playing absolutely killer so let's see what happens she does have more like huge weapons compared to Jesse for all right here we go tifo at the line to serve oh excuse me S this growing as far as TV views go ticket sales yeah the ticket sales for the US Open are as good as ever I mean it just packed it's been packed all week back in that goes out from Fritz 15 love for tifo see what happens I appreciate that thank you thank you guys I do see more kids playing tennis after school so it is likely yeah I mean overall I think take Sal out the us7 are way up overall um TV views ticket sales I mean it's fluctuating I don't I don't think there's a as steady as of an increase as tennis would like for I'll say that it doesn't appear to me that it has as steady of an increase as tennis would like for part of that is the the big three probably withering away a little bit and Serena and Venus as well but once we get more stars like ALR and Center we're going to be on the way up again big time too so hey Zara appreciate M 23 months go go go Francis okay back in Cross SC the back in of tifo back in Fritz back in tifo back in Fritz back in to back in Big Shots back in Fritz back in TFO back in Fritz going back into back back in back in oh TFO opens up the court the other way TFO backing down the line has been an absolute Revelation in this match Theo hitting the back end down the line like his name is Novak jokovic TFA playing like a grand slam Champion he's at that level now can he can he get there it's a different question but T I mean to me he's playing a pretty pretty incredible level he's very much within himself too which makes it more of a more of a uh eye opening watch he's not playing he's not playing out of his skin he's just playing the best that he's got to offer this is the best Francis stfo has to offer and it's you know very good serve that goes out my Fritz prediction seems like it's not going to happen but we'll see Fritz did climb back from 40 love to 4030 that's a double fault for a one p point and it's Deuce so we'll see I guess 430 big cheer from the crowd first serve another first serve Miss TFO is not GNA be happy with that second serve oh double fall I saw it coming oh no I just felt it consecutive double Fallon Francis just like in the uh second what was it second set tiebreaker against theit you had consecu three consecutive double faults there two from demitro one from tifo can't double fault that away Fritz with a chance here what' I say I said six4 Fritz remember WTA finals in Texas three men in a dog turnup yeah it insane one more month and I'm finally getting rid of jokovic we'll see oh oh I see what you're saying for the member awesome nice fair enough that's awesome nearly two years is amazing shout out to you about 24 get the all that's cool four end of TFO the back end of Fritz C score for about Shanks Fritz has a set point Fritz has a set point advantage to Taylor what did I say what did I say here we go let's see though is that still on back M Fritz for mfo back in Fritz low drop shot that's in the net we're going five sets an absolute American epic to decide who's the American in the final of the US Open 2024 britz steps up to the plate and gets it 64 he was talking to his box saying I don't know I don't know if I can do this the oppa's playing great we got one set shootout in New York City we're really down in Queens we're going five baby Bring it on Bring it on and you know we're going five all right I need energy for the fifth set so I'm gonna take a break real quick I'll be back for the start of the fifth I'll be I'll be back momentarily but first you called it anthy I did I said I felt 6'4 Fritz I felt 6'4 I feel pretty good about my tennis predicting I was doing pretty well in New York too it is five what what we need after that sad story of the first semis yeah we're going five all right I'll be back in a moment e e e all right we got the fifth set absolute epic um on the match of the tournament without a shadow of a doubt popcorn yep haven't had many five sets last few few days yeah we needed this we needed this for sure we're going five and no one has collapsed rep puke yet yes it's pretty pretty nice it's a pretty nice bonus I mean you know poke you know P puking adds a nice drama to things as as an interesting spice to things you know um you know people collapsing and falling and but sometimes we just want normal things a normal match just fine a normal epic think Fritz have better chance winning against ionic that's yeah it's exactly what I said earlier so we'll see is a normal set LOL no vomit wrist injury panic attacks or belly problems exactly we're doing we're doing great so far we'll see if we keep this up so far we're doing great yic lay back in his bed and enjoying these two wearing each other out yeah that's true we're going to a final set tie break 20 plus 20 plus 1 2 a.m. match we need the this this is the absolute perfect dream this is a dream way for an American man to finally break through the hurdle we've been waiting for one zero I'm not I mean listen one of these could win this US Open for sure um and they'll have a chance at it on Sunday which is awesome but but at least to make it to a slam final cuz that's also like we haven't done that in 2010s or 2020s like last time that happened was 09 I've been watching the sport for over 15 years and it hasn't happened since the very first match that I sat down and watched very first match that I sat down and watched like I said earlier in the Stream was feder versus um rodic in 2009 Wimbledon um this this is the first uh match since since that so uh where an American man could be in the final or will be in the finnal sometimes they want normal things like Ray Gun breake dancing yeah sure sure I saw Draper vomit just the corner of my eye and thought he was spitting water yeah he did it so casually this a normal not a normal match by Ed stretch the magic that's true we got a super tiebreaker um like a tiebreaker at the end yeah we'll see love 15 for Fritz he's won all five the first points here he's continuing off a great momentum it's at least at least uh seven consecutive points for Fritz I think it's more than that too it is I think Fritz has won like wasn't he down 405 I think Fritz has won Fritz has won 10 consecutive points I think I'm pretty sure it does feel like a while since Theo's even won a point misses the first serve wide Fritz has stolen the momentum here completely canaa win another epic epic five Setter against an America in this tournament he did it against sh Shelton back in TFO the back in Fritz for him TFO that's in the net Fritz is just not losing points at this point TFO has a better chance of being fatigued than Fritz does which is another reason why Fritz might have a better chance against Center in the final not just the head-to-head which uh Fritz has a better head-to-head against Center than TFO does arguably but he does um yeah 10 points in a row now for Fritz that's crazy croud Sheeran trying to get TFO um energized I it's gonna be a memorable way for an American to reach the final no matter what wow at first wasn't even close from TFO played such an amazing level up until 54 405 but Oran Fritz has stepped up to the plate he's been tapering himself and kind of it's It's you know I said the turtle in the hair at the start and tifo in my in my comparison um in my comparison Fritz was the hair and tifo was the turtle now it's Fritz that's the turtle winning the race and it's tifo that's the hair L 40 foran Fritz is there back in volley that was going to be too good Theo finally gets a point 11 straight last time fo played yanic he said he hasn't played on the big stage why he lost Uso is the biggest stage so fo will stand not stand a chance against Yanik he's not disciplined enough yet yeah it's definitely fair um it's definitely fair chis I feel like can be more clutch in the Big M make he's won a Masters tournament before and Fritz both the matches he played against yanic were very strong I I agree with you down the t is very good 30 40 I agree with you will not Fritz mental game is better than fo I agree that's that's hard to even argue with but we'll see if TFO can stop up here first serve as an ace there 13 Aces for Fritz 11 for tifo here we go three hours on the clock first serve is out second serve this is crazy this like Monumental moment in this match this point kick serve back in Fritz attacks it back in t that's in the net two Fritz he draws First Blood let's go Taylor Taylor can make the final that what a win for tlor this would be he would get some confidence off of this and he hasn't dropped many sets he dropped two sets in the tournament before this match um and this could be just four until the final so see what happens ffo gonna be disappointed because see he's just dropped his intensity couldn't keep it up this is really the best version of the turtle in the hair the one that matters the most because tavo's intensity was up but he couldn't quite carry it or maybe he can but he'll need to get the break back I think in the fifth set against alrass he was down to break early in the fifth and then he got the break back if my memory serves me right I only watched that match like obviously like two years ago lob it's gonna be too good the smash from Tio love 15 big foe big foe here we go love 15 under David whito will get better yes I I think we've already started to see that this is the best I've ever seen TFO play the first four sets the wheels are coming off but I have faith that big fo can come back it's definitely fair ah big serve from Fritz 15 all I will say this though if Fritz wins this and let's say does this is fairly one-sided kind of like it seems like it might end up being maybe then I would be very interested in how Fritz performs in the final against Center like I reckon like he's G to get a lot of confidence if he can pull this off because TFO I I said I said it in the fourth set I felt like TFO at times was playing like a grand slame champion it would be a heartbreaker for TFO though 30 15 for Fritz stepping up onto the adside absolute Heartbreaker peachers are you still at the tournament by the way let me know let me know if you're still at the event here goes sir from Fritz I mean Sur serving is just amazing from Fritz at the moment he didn't start off serving all that great but he's picked it up here Taylor Taylor with a chance to get to the final listen I've been backing Fritz all year I've been backing Fritz for years as a guy who's better than most people give him credit for it and um down te what can he say what can he say Brit stepping up I mean man it's good it's good to see and with with his box with with Micha Russell Fritz has put in so much hard work Fritz has put in so much hard work you love to see this no P ticks to pricely too costly for nose bleach seeds yeah that's fair that's fair well yeah then I guess you're watching at at home as well but um yeah I mean it's it's been great fun to watch regardless wheels are coming off I have faith that bigf can come back let's keep the faith it's done like a dinner let's see three Z Fritz feel like I feel like he's got I don't know this would take a mammoth effort from TFO TFO is you know he's he can be scary sometimes coming back in matches but does he have does he have enough here in the gas tank or has he emptied it I gotta wake up early tomorrow this is uh I guess I'm lucky that it's only been three hours four minutes looking at the scoreboard it could have been even longer than that I gotta wake up at pretty early like at like 7 7:30 for a match pretty early for the fact I'm still awake in doing this by the way we got over 20 we got 21 people watching so I appreciate you guys and don't forget to like and don't forget to subscribe all that stuff that um the YouTube Gods possess me to say occasionally first up 3-0 my man Fritz could get there let's see I wonder whether this will help Fritz push on and do well in other slams yeah I think it will honestly FR well here's the thing Fritz has done well in slams this year like he's gone to the fourth round of every single slam this year fourth round um which is incredible quarter finals of Australia um and they get to the quarters of I guess fourth round of Wimbledon in the French Open then he's got in to the semis here at least anyway match is not over by any stretch the imagination just like I said about tifo on From tfo's perspective about 30 minutes ago forehand what time T Fritz Fritz is Fritz is um Fritz has taken tavo's Powers here he's pick he's taken tfo's level here he's playing Amazing Fritz in this fifth set yeah I I I I've I've gone back on what I said at the start I said in the middle that theaa maybe has the best chance of beating center after I kind of changed my mind but I'm going back to what I said before the match started or when it was in the first set I think Fritz has the best chance of beating Center in the final serve from TFO for an Fritz back in TFO comes the net pass that's in the ground that's a heartbreaker for TFO he's kind of let this go a little bit and Fritz is playing is taking every moment Fritz looks so calm as well it's amazing how calm Fritz looks that's what hard work does I'm sure a lot of mental training to be fair 03 love 30 TFO another incredible run to the semi-finals at the open reminding us all how good tifo can play and will he have his chance at the US Open I I hope so honestly after after these couple runs but um but right now it's looking all Fritz we'll see if that keeps up 1530 that goes out the crowd is intense here in New York both players and put in hard work so proud of our us boys yes um hell yeah I want to see Corda and Tommy Paul do well as well Brit's a very good comeback player yeah that's true I mean that definitely is in this match that goes out come on from TFA he still believes he's still down one break as long as he can maintain that one break he's got a chance here I mean maybe I don't know the way Fritz is serving it's gonna be tough but anyway still 30 all yeah first won in the set 100% for pritz that's not a good sign for foe big fo needs to win this point if TFO needs to win this point if he's GNA win this this match forand cross SC forand of TFO that goes out he doesn't it's 3040 it's a break point for Fritz oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man 30 40 listen just 34 like 30 minutes ago Fritz was talking to it looked like he had almost given up encourage words of Michael Russell and then I I kind of called it at 44 I said Chris is picking it up he's gonna get it done at 64 he did and now it's been all Fritz 30 40 second serve to work with as well it's a double fall it's a double break for Fritz I think it's gonna be Fritz versus CER in the final I think it's G to be a Taylor Fritz and it feels right in some ways um that Taylor Fritz does that for he was the first American in a long time to get win the first Master title and uh first American in a wild to get to top five in the world as well and um TFO throws the racket as well rack goes flying I mean it would have been great with TFO too but I mean Taylor Fritz it looks like is going to be the American to get to the first to be the first American in the slam Final in 15 years and try to break the slam drought that's lasted 21 years since Andy rodic 20 21 years ago for f ala for a Fritz yeah this is looking all but over back in tafa back into Fritz not to jinx it though for in Fritz for tifo that's to good Cross Court L 15 Crow is gonna try to get get get tifo to come back here such a crucial game oh my tfo's back in I mean TFO has played so well Fritz has got to be so proud of himself man that he could uh he could beat a tiavo playing this good if he if able to do it I Go's back in theide though love 30 it could be one break back I don't want to jinx it I'm out here jinxing things for Fritz the Alo is still fighting the Alo is still fighting at 10:55 at night about an hour till midnight serve out wide that goes out 1530 1530 by the way shout out everybody in the chat Joe and J peaches Joseph Mike Marcus yeah everybody who joined in I think the question is are we looking at a bagel a bread stick or a lonesome duck yeah um that's yeah that's fair I like The Lonesome duck for a too I haven't really heard that before we'll see what the score ends up being but I don't want to totally count out TFO he can be scary with comebacks too oh goes out from Fritz 1540 I just remember tifo saving like nine match points against meddev and Indian Wells and nearly pushing that to three sets also saving match points to win labor Cup against cpos like difo can have some good comebacks and he can be scary coming back he doesn't really ever lose faith it seems like so I I don't want to count him out fully which I I kind of did to be fair at the start of this game let's see Ser from Fritz that's a double fault 14 Francis TFO no celebration which is good I guess I don't know but just right back to work one 14 one break back I'm going with donut no and not not apparently duck okay thefo still fighting this match is crazy insane match insane match match of the tournament match so good it knocks my headphones off Match is so good you could cut the tension with the knife exactly this is tense right now Tifa trying to come back e if TFA holds we have a match again yes absolutely this is crazy sprs up 4-1 you know sometimes Sports just lives up to what you know it lives up or exceeds your expectations and this is one of the those moments this is one of those times and it's a it's a moment that's been anticipated for 15 years so and it's lived up to it somehow for and a Fritz Cross Court the back in of TFO goes down the line goes out though he needs to hold TFO I mean that's without question TFO needs to hold and then it's interesting I come on TFA I need I need to see I want to see Francis hold I we need we need Francis to hold serve down the T goes out de serve back into Fritz back in TFO across C goes out Theo has just lost the lost his game here at the end it feels like up 30 you're waiting too much for the ball you got to go in have to go after the first serve that's what David wit says to Francis up from the side it's is cool here in the coach is speak from the side to be fair I do yeah I don't know I have mixed feelings on the coaching but anyway mix to negative for in oh first Fall's over we gets up again again inspired by center from earlier for Fritz Cross Court for TIAA misses wow Fritz did not give up on the point I think most players would have to be fair I just think fris not to get injured at the end here love 40 wow I mean Fritz this has been all Fritz to kind of Fritz has just waited and waited and his intensity has grown as the match has grown and he's needed it for the very end of this and he had just the right amount of belief at the end here he could and he's found an incredible level with his game and uh if he could B bread steak tifo when tfo's playing this well it' be crazy and some great for Fritz coming into the final that's in the Baseline that goes in Fritz breaks ffo at love it looks like it's GNA be another heartbreak for Francis fiao another incredible run to the semis but it's gonna be another heartbreak and you have to give credit to Fritz Fritz to get to the first slam F American men 2009 go Francis oh come on yeah it looks over it's got to be over now yeah what's the feeling game over yeah back in the four and of Fritz inside out back end of Tavo goes out three points away from American tennis history and Tennis history I mean we got to contextualize this like like I just want to contextualize this moment for and of Fritz the back end of Tifa that's in the net I want to contextualize this moment okay here we go this is the contextualization of this moment uh I'll focus on the match and then I'll say the context that I want to point out lad from Fritz okay I'll just go ahead and say it here's the context for the moment most Grand Slam champions in history uh United States 49 players second most Australia 34 R first serve goes just out they have W us has won 147 slams Australia second with 100 America's the greatest country in the history of the sport but it hasn't been for the last 20 years this is the start of maybe something big for the country FR TFO misses aali next most 48 slams one Great Britain 19 players America 147 nearly a 100 more than third most in the history of the sport next is Spain with 37 nine players America 147 by far number one really 15 more players than any other country to win a slam 47 more slams won than any other country and we are back at triple Match Point here in New York with an ace on the team Taylor Fritz has done it Taylor Fritz has done it another heartbreak for Francis TFO cuse he played one hell of a tournament Cincinnati final US Open semi-final one big round of applause for Francis TFO hopefully he can keep that level I don't want this to be an ending point for tifo but Fritz Fritz let's go Taylor Fritz get on your feet and I do think that Fritz will have the best chance in the final against Center both matches they played it was an underrated match last year in Indian Welles one of my favorite matches of the Year Center versus uh t uh Center versus Fritz Indian Wells quarterfinal incredible ball striking from both the two years before that Center Fritz played unbelievable straight seted a top 10 Yanik Center to get to the semis of Indian WS like 64 63 played incredible like top five level so if somebody Fritz with the level he showed at the end the confidence he'll get from beating tifo who's that good he's played less than TFO has this tournament if we want an American to win the tournament then Fritz has the better chance if we want one of those guys to win these guys to win but it's GNA be Fritz versus Center I reckon it's going to be really good because um it's been great so yeah anyway tfa's lost the plot yeah absolutely you have a huge population mate no yeah that's true we're I mean yeah that's true as well but I mean just by number of winners it's been the best been the best country but yeah I mean there are other stats to look at as well for sure but GG congratulations clayer y very point oh yeah no it is yes it's a big part of it but I appreciate Joe yeah thank you thank you Mike yeah thanks for joining in thank you for everybody who watches these and enjoys these and uses my

was it was so fun to get a chance to interview Fritz last year he's one of he's just one of my favorite guys on the tour and I've been high on him for a while it's been great it's great to see him he never gets the respect he deserves so I think he's gonna finally get it here and he's getting it here and uh what a run what an energy what an intensity from Fritz to get it done and uh good stuff he didn't start off that strong Fritz but I mean the level was high though the match was insane match was really good that number can always go up we'll need to go up against Center but the serving like win like this is what matters and anyway he still won 36 out of 55 second Ser points so um winners was amazing a lot of winners from both this kind of says a good story a lot of these unforced STS
