Welcome to the Tennis Mini.

A review of every round of the US Open.

Coming up, danil Medvedev, Excuse me, mate, could you just wait until the end of the intro we're recording here?

Great play point, first serve great Welcome to the Tennis Mini.

A rap at the end of each round of the US Open.

Cut me up, Danil Medvedev fell victim to a Bonzie scheme and Benjamin cashed in.

We'll talk about the Russians meltdown and the gate crashing photographer who's just taken his seat.

There's a buzz around Carlos Alcaraz.

Will the Fresh Fay give King Carlos the edge?

The keys to New York won't be given to Madison As the Australian Open champ bowed out surprise winners from Mexico, the Philippines and Hong Kong proved tennis is truly a global sport.

That's all ahead with me, Adrian Manorino, Brett Thomas, and the snappy snapper who was sent packing from New York.

We have an exclusive interview with the man who's had his accreditation revoke.

No, we don't.

His name is Anthony Moribido from Tennis Plus.

Welcome ants, Thank you Brett, thank you for having me, and welcome to the Tennis Podcast.

Thank you for playing the fall guy.

I'm actually starting to feel sorry for that photographer.

He has said that he feels the world is now crashing down upon him.

I'm not sure it was deliberate that he walked on the court.

I feel he thought that the match was over.

Yeah, we've all made mistakes, I feel yeah, but also probably don't walk on a tennis court when the players are still there.

But you live and learn, you do, you live and you learn.

We will talk about that in our segment Stocks Up, Stocks down Wall Street, New York.

You were a former accountant as well.

But let's talk about the matches of the round started on a Sunday, so falling into line with the other slams like the Australian Open, played over three days.

What match in particular caught your eye?

Yes, the match I've chosen is the Claudia Thawsen versus Alexandre Yala match six three, two, six, seven, six, thirteen eleven.

In the tiebreak to Iala, it was a stunning comeback by the Filipina after being five to one down in the third set, she came all the way back to make it six' five and Then tawson held serve to force the.

Tiebreak and the crowd in this match was.

Very Pro iala doing some Of tawson's points double.

Faults how do you think that affects the opposition player when the crowd is really going for just one.

Player, yeah fans Of Clara tawson will know what she's kind of like in terms of her moods on.

Court she's the fourteen seed From, denmark but some of her drop shot winners the most Nonchalant i've ever.

Seen her head was, Down she's walking to the next, point so didn't see him in that kind of right frame of.

Mind whether that was the crowd getting on top of, Her but in the, end we actually did see some nerves From.

Yala with five match, points she was struggling to close that.

Out, yeah that's.

Right it's always tough to close out Of Grand slam.

Match but, yeah you have the crowd behind, her AND i really felt that that got her over the line and really Impacted tawson as.

Well but, yeah she's got The filipino fans all over the, world and there must be plenty In New york because that crowd sounded like it was A us player playing rather than A.

Filipino, well we're On Tennis, plus which you helped launch In, january and one of the big audiences is coming from The, philippines which must be in a lot of ways because of this, player this star on the.

Rise yes it is, Actually, yeah there are number two audience currently at the.

Moment big shout.

Out, hell let everyone watching The.

Philippines And i'm hoping FOR ao twenty six That yale gets a good draw and can get through to a few matches SO i can play them on repeat as much AS i.

Can but a big fan of, Hers and, yeah just really love that a tennis player from a different part of the world that we don't usually see have tennis stars really kind of growing the sport in their own, country WHICH i think is really good for the game.

Tennis, yeah we've had player From, mexico From Hong, kong we're going to talk about that in Stocks up Stocks, Down but From Southeast, asia we don't see a lot of players.

Breakthrough Paradon Schrit chapan was a cult figure you might call, him from the nineties and two.

Thousand so it's great For, australia for this region because The Australian open is The Grand slam Of Asia.

Pacific so let's hope that she's in good form Come.

January, yeah, Definitely i'll be watching for her.

Matches, definitely good.

Fan, yeah so she's, popular but no.

DOUBT i think you could almost say the most popular player in THE us might Be Coco goff twenty twenty three, champion and she had a really tricky match up, today which is On.

Tuesday we're recording This wednesday In, australia this Was tuesday night in THE.

Us But isler Tom yanovitch is not an easy player to come up against In New.

York, no she's.

Not she's shown in the past that she can really deliver in THE.

Us we can go all the way back to twenty twenty three when she knocked Out serena in her final match ever at THE Us open and her career, actually so she should definitely shown she can take the pressure of A us crowd and thought she did pretty well, today but, YEAH i just felt as though that crowd really.

Got her over the line in the.

End then we'll talk About coco's SERV i know you've got some stats on, that but, yeah it's not really all that's been cracked up to.

Be, YEAH i mean she made a big move before the tournament, started split with her Coach Matt, day brought In gavin, McMillan who'd actually worked With Arena.

Sabolenka he's a biomechanical coach and specializing in.

Serving was able to Help sabolenka eliminate some of her double faults and that's been an issue For.

Coco she had twenty three double faults at The Canadian, open so clearly that's on her.

Mind whether it's obviously technical which he might be working, with and then the mental side of the.

Game she had ten double faults in this match Against.

Aya aya had.

Seven she did serve out the final game of that match quite, well BUT i think this is going to be a talking point just you, know whether her server is going to be a liability AND i.

Think, yeah you did say she did serve out the, match but, yeah the game before she had the opportunity to serve, out and the first two points of that game she served two double faults in a, row which is obviously.

Pressure but then you've got the, pressure and then you've also go to deal with your biomechanics and all would be all in her, head just trying To, yeah it would just keep building and building and, building AND i just, YEAH i would be really, tough especially in that.

Environment but, yeah she ended up being broken that, game but then she came back and won the last two matches to get.

Through, well we Heard Fanasi kok And archus on the last episode of The tennis talk, about you know what a risky kind of move this is in terms of changing your.

Technique if indeed that's what they're working, on maybe her coach is, like let's just talk about the mental side of the.

Game give her some confidence as opposed to tweaking.

Things but that's a question only co co can.

Answer but she's in comfortable.

Surrounds this is a tournament she's won, before and let's hope she goes deep because you, know as we, said she is a crowd favorite At Flushing.

Meadows all, right it is time now four stocks, up stocks?

Down and which is right in your strike?

Zone because you are a former Accountant New York Wall street rolling with the theme, Here let's start With King carlos and his buzz cut and up or down on the fresh.

FADE i like.

It he's always usually comes to A Grand slam and everyone's talking about what haircut he's going to, have and then in two weeks his head just grows back to.

Normal so, yeah, yeah, NO i really like the nice number zero cut he's.

Done.

THERE i THINK i heard his brother cut his, hair so, yeah.

RIGHT i wouldn't get my brother to cut my, hair.

But the buzz, cut you might be.

SAFE i think.

Even, HIM i wouldn't even trust him with the buzz, cut so shout out to my Brother nick.

There Well i've gone with the buzz, cut ALTHOUGH i don't have a lot of buzz to, cut so, yeah maybe it's more Than Nikolai davidenko look Or adrian Man.

Areno as we said from the, top but you're a positive, guy so you would like to start with stocks.

Up what is your first stocks up from the tournament so?

Far so my stocks up players from not your typical strongholds winning through to the second round of THE Us.

Open so we Had renada Z azua From mexico Beat Madison keys six seven seveny six seventy, five Had Janis tzen From indonesia Beat Victoria kudamentova sixty four four sixty sixty, Four xen Yep Son mez From turkey Beating Katie valenet six thirty six to, four And Common wong From Hong kong Defeated alexander Cover sevic six four seven five seventy.

Six so all those four players there not from your typical countries that are really known for their.

Tennis, yeah and catching some of the high rank players off guard as.

Well Commen wong you mentioned, him one hundred and seventy three in the, world got through in straight sets against a player from THE, us first men's player From Hong kong to win A Grand slam singles match in The open.

Era and he Plays Adam walton next From australia, Tomorrow so a chance to go even.

Further that's a great.

Story.

YEAH i was going to ask, You, brett if you could choose to have a few players with some countries that are.

Underrepresented what kind of countries do you think would make really help make tennis of truly global.

Sport, well we talked About Southeast, asia but how about somebody From, india WHICH i guess is a part Of.

Asia isn't.

It but that's a huge.

Market we've seen some champions in doubles of course as, well but maybe a player to break through on the, Singles.

Yeah definitely for.

Singles they've had a few good doubles players in the past With bapana And, merzer but, yeah singles, player if feel, like would be.

Huge what do you what do you?

THINK i think more let's go maybe somewhere In, africa maybe Like nigeria Or ivory.

Coas prince there who has a tennis.

Court, yeah, NO i just, thinking, yeah somewhere From, africa because we've got a few players Like on's is from tennessee more your Northern, africa and we've had a Few South africa And South african players in the.

Past but, yeah that's sort of a few countries Of africa which really haven't produced anyone.

Yet but hopefully one day we can see someone from the middle.

Part Of africa.

Yep really representing tennis.

Yep.

Well my first stocks up Is Francis, tierfos A parel, sponsor and he has twenty shirts in his bag courtside and apparently he wore six of them in a straight sets.

Win.

Overnithioka do you think he does his own.

WASHING i think.

NOT i think that's why he has twenty that's my.

Trick you just have a fresh shirt for every day of the, week but not every change of, ends which is what he might be.

Doing but it's great for his sponsor because they're getting a lot of.

Airtime and maybe if it kind of, SWEATS i don't, know if it kind of fades out the, logo if that had something to do with, it.

Well, yeah you want to hope that the top can take a player playing, tennis because if, not then maybe he shouldn't be wearing, yep those.

Shirts But i've noticed in a few Of t's matches he does usually like to take a lot of clothes on court.

Yep and, yeah and also a Match i'm just thinking of THAT i have shown on.

Tennis plus his clothes were spread all over his side of the, court all over the, chair so maybe looked a tidy up a little bit as well on his seat there on the side of the.

Court And Carlos alcrez just to come back to him the burgundy or the plumb or the grape.

OUTFIT i know you're a big fan of that is that stocks up for.

You the haircut and the.

Outfit OCAs is killing it so far in the, tournament and, yeah getting a good win as well over A.

Polka.

Ye but yeah That shirty put on for his postmatch, Interview, Yeah i'd buy, that definitely.

Nice it was sort of A valua style tracksuit, top which was a bit.

Different but he can do what he.

Wants that's.

Right probably maybe seen more in the seventies for maybe some tennis players, there but, YEAH i say bring it.

Back anything else in your stocks, Up i've.

Got, Yeah Emma reticano winning her first match since she won THE Us open in twenty twenty.

One, yeah really good to see finally getting another breakthrough there because it's i, mean when she.

Won it was.

Amazing and then, yeah she really hasn't really hit those heights, since so hopefully she can.

Continue, yeah it's crazy that she hasn't actually won a, match not, like not even one round at THE Us open since winning.

It that's, yeah.

Unbelievable it is.

Unbelievable but, Yeah i'm hoping she yeah does pretty well in the next round and actually she will be playing The indonesian Player Janis chen in the second, Round so, Yeah i'll be tuned into that.

One, okay that stocks, up let's go with stocks.

DOWN i want to start With Madison.

Keys you talked about her opponent From, mexico but eighty nine unforced eras a set and three love up and ends up.

Losing, yeah it's not great for The american, hopeful and especially after playing so well AT ao twenty.

Five, yeah she was playing unbelievable tennis to win That Grand.

Slam she's going through the like so Of, Collins, Rubukuina, Spiedelinas fioncek And, sablenka and, yeah really unfortunate she couldn't replicate anything like that in her home.

Slam, YEAH federlini mentioned there's another seat that's been knocked out in the first, Round so, yeah unfortunate For.

MADISON i don't think she'd had great lead up form and THE us hard court, swing so she goes out in the first round and just said that the pressure ate her.

UP i, mean she had such a big lead and then to lose like.

That really.

Unfortunate controversial one for you BECAUSE i know she's been a great story in terms Of Venus williams at forty, five but should she be getting a wild card or should that go to the Next Venus williams to even a Young american Because venus won't be playing any Other Grand, Slam she'll only ever play in THE.

Us.

YEAH i don't have a problem with.

THIS i think she deserves to get wild cards until she does eventually decide to.

Retire she's an icon of the.

Sport the people want to see.

Her they put her On Arthur, ash so obviously the fans want to see.

Her she did, Well she took her set off much of, her which is a good effort becausemuch of there's no.

Slouch and, YEAH i, think, Yeah i'm happy to give her world cards at THE Us open until she really wants to.

Retire as long as she feels the.

SEATS i think THE Us open is not going to.

Have a problem with.

It AND i don't have a problem with it.

Either, yeah and, CLEARLY i mean you look at what they've done with the mixed.

Doubles they're all, about you, know maximizing viewership and fan.

Attendance so Clearly Venus williams does.

That you could argue that for much of her as.

Well it's an opponent that she would prefer to face a stronger opponent first up rather than a world card that she might have a really easy win.

Against, yeah, exactly much of it would be happy with the way she.

Performed and you, know As i've been saying throughout this, pod the crowd really does get.

Involved, Then, yeah A us player against someone not from THE, us the crowd is really going to be against.

You So i'm pretty.

Sure in her postmatch interview she mentioned that the crowd was really On venus's, side and it just really, yeah shows to the testament of the mentality of a player that they can and yeah overcome that and, yeah get through the next.

Round, okay we talked about.

It at the very, Beginning you're dressed up like the.

Photographer Danil medvedev is in our stocks down losing The Bonzie Benjamin bonzie who cashed in at six, three seven.

Five then the third set is when it almost fell apart for, him had match.

Points the photographer comes in and the chair umpire quite rightly, says when a point is being interfered, with you replay the, point not replay the.

Serve what did you make Of danil's?

Performance, well first of, All i've never seen anything like that watching, tennis even From.

Danil, Well i've seen something like that From, daniel but not quite as bad as a guy in that third.

SET i understand his, FRUSTRATIONS i.

SUPPOSE i, mean he was looking like he was going to lose the match, anyway and THEN i figured was he trying to stay on court just that bit, longer give the fans a bit more, Time but.

AND i think trying to whip himself back in like, Chain he's the momentum of the, match getting himself back into, it which.

WORKED i do think, though that that, umpire or Even Benjamin, bonds he could have just looked at the umpire and, Said i'm gonna.

Serve i'm just going to put this ball in play Because danil is wasting.

Time AND i heard on one of the commentators you mentioned that there should have been a code violation there For.

Danil but at the umpire looked a little you, know, yeah shocked as to what was going, on AND i didn't quite know what to.

Do, yeah the, Umpire, yeah he was.

Rattled AND i really feel for the umpire as, well because he's Got medvedev in his, Face he's got the crowd completely out of, Control and, YEAH i don't know what he can really do in that.

Situation you can't eject every person in the crowd making.

Noise that six minute.

BREAK i know here in the office we're watching.

It we all were, tuning just trying to work out what is actually going, on and Yet i've never seen anything like.

That, yeah So danil goes up to the chair umpire and then he's debating the point why did we have to replay the first?

Serve and then he's screaming at him in the.

Camera what Did Riley opelker?

Say so before we get to the rest of stocks, down he's our new random.

Segment it might only last this one.

Episode what Did Riley opelker?

Say pretty similar to most GUYS i see in the like.

ROOM i think most he's very, friendly so he's very outgoing and he's a talkative.

Guy SO i think most of us have a good relationship with.

Him and, YEAH i MEAN i don't really have any bad things to say about the.

Guy it's always been a pleasant interaction with, him And i've always seen him in a good.

Mood riley doesn't seem in a good mood, there but looking forward to Getting riley o'pelker's thought throughout the, tournament perhaps on other random things Like Taylor swift getting engaged and, yes congratulations to the happy couple And daniel.

Yes.

No one THING i want to add is with his.

Behavior, yeah from that third, Set, Jess, REALLY i don't think you really should be behaving like.

That you're twenty nine years, old you're a.

Dad you really have to set an example.

Now, YEAH i guess tennis players are known to sort of behave like that in the, past but he should be.

EMBARRASSED i, feel.

Well he's had a terrible year on The Grand Slam.

TOUR i think he's only won one, match so that might also explain what we saw against Against.

Bonzie all, right let's change ends here and and we'll come back with a preview of next.

Round welcome back to this tennis mini, Episode.

Brett we're going to talk about matchups for the next.

Round what match are you most looking forward?

To, yeah good job, there and we've changed ends and.

Roles.

WELL i Like Alexi popron And Yanick.

Sinner Alexi Popron.

Australian we spoke About South africans.

Earlier Wayne frere is his coach and he's done well at THE Us open, before he has Beaten Novak.

Djokovic of, course he got through fairly comfortably today in straight sets against the Mill.

Russafouri But Yannick sinner only a player he's played once before.

Ant, yeah and what was the result of that, Match.

So that was four years.

Ago they played on clay In madrid and popp'in.

One SO i don't think we can read anything into that.

Form but For Yannick sinner obviously then not a player he's too familiar, with so perhaps he could catch him off.

Guard AND i had to pull out of the final In cincinnati because he was.

Ill so we'll see see how he goes Against.

Alexi, YEAH i don't Like alexis chances in this.

Matter If, yeah it's if he can win a, set that'd be a good effort.

Set he's just another, level is.

Yep.

Yeah and he won six,' one one and Two Against, vi kapriva, so yeah in.

Outstanding form looks like that illness is now.

Behind him what is the match you are most looking forward to in the.

Second round i'm.

Most looking Forward to may Joint Versus.

Amanda anisimova may Joint from australia has been rising through.

The ranks so in twenty twenty three she was seven hundred and.

Thirty eight in the world and now she's currently ranked, Forty two so a great climb by her to get right up the rankings, and yes straight INTO The us open draw.

This year she's Up, against anisamova who want to have a good showing AT The us open After a wimbledon.

Final PERFORMANCE and i really can't pick.

This one i'm not sure who'll win.

At, all yeah well my joint as, you said got her first Win At grand slam level AT The, us open but had to forfeit the majority of the prize money because she was a.

College athlete lived In the states until she, was sixteen then Moved.

To australia her Dad, is australian, so yes she obviously feels really Good In.

New york she's through to the second, round again and you'd say that she's a big chance in.

THIS match i don't think she's going to have a lot of fear coming Up Against, amanda anisamova knowing that nerves can get to her.

As well.

That's right she may have the same Issue That ala tomanovitch had With that.

American crowd we'll be right on.

Anism overside, BUT yeah i really think she can.

Pull THROUGH if i had, TO pick i probably would pick in.

This match, but okay we'll just have to wait.

And see, All right so you are Going for yannick Easily over poperin and my joint over And.

A samova i'll Back the assie.

As well we are recording This, in australia, of course At Pod, laver arena so let's Back the Aussie Over yannick cinner or at least take it to five sets and, my joint which would be an upset Against a.

Wimbledon finalist, of course thank you and for helping us review.

Round one, Thank you thank you for.
