[0:00] Speaker 1: All right, on today's final something major, we're going to
[0:03] Speaker 1: recap the men's and women's finals from Wimbledon. Let's get going.
[0:07] Speaker 1: Jack Jones, Stevie and Sam, got close a few times,
[0:11] Speaker 1: never won a slam, nothing major. All right, welcome back.
[0:14] Speaker 1: Two-man pod. Stevie, myself. Isner was going to be on this.
[0:17] Speaker 1: He was on a flight. Flight couldn't land at the airport.
[0:20] Speaker 1: Had to get a new flight. That's all we know.
[0:23] Speaker 1: Sounds suspicious.
[0:24] Speaker 2: It was too hot where he was supposed to land.
[0:25] Speaker 2: I've never heard that before.
[0:26] Speaker 1: I've never heard that.
[0:27] Speaker 2: My radar goes up when I hear something I've never
[0:29] Speaker 2: heard before.
[0:29] Speaker 1: We haven't. We couldn't wait for him. We got to
[0:30] Speaker 1: get this pot out.
[0:31] Speaker 3: Yep.
[0:31] Speaker 1: Right? And I've also got a pool party going on
[0:33] Speaker 1: in my house, so I got to get back to
[0:34] Speaker 1: my guests. So let's start with the men's final. Yannick
[0:39] Speaker 1: Sinner takes out Alexander Zverev. Great match. 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-4.
[0:46] Speaker 1: This match started pre-match. Sinner, 62% chance likelihood to win
[0:52] Speaker 1: prior to the match starting. I actually felt like that
[0:55] Speaker 1: was a little... high. I was, uh, I was, I
[0:59] Speaker 1: had it more than 50, 50. Uh, we talked about
[1:01] Speaker 1: it the other day. Um, but anyway, Stevie, you just
[1:05] Speaker 1: watched the match matches and Zverev played a phenomenal first set.
[1:08] Speaker 1: Then it was Zverev six, three, and four. Uh, what
[1:11] Speaker 1: was your takeaways from the match?
[1:12] Speaker 2: Um, it was good tennis. I mean, I don't think
[1:15] Speaker 2: either guy played great. I felt like center at the
[1:17] Speaker 2: beginning was maybe more, was gripping the racket a little tighter.
[1:20] Speaker 2: If that makes any sense, you know, like just felt
[1:24] Speaker 2: as if Zverev actually played great. which was, which is
[1:28] Speaker 2: great to you. It's firing. I mean, his serve was
[1:30] Speaker 2: a cannon, uh, to start that match. He was hitting
[1:33] Speaker 2: the forehand well. And once he won that first set,
[1:36] Speaker 2: I was like, I thought he was going to win this,
[1:38] Speaker 2: maybe not in straights, but like in four, because kind
[1:41] Speaker 2: of the emotional roar that he gave after that first set,
[1:45] Speaker 2: the way he won it in a breaker, he's lost,
[1:47] Speaker 2: I don't know, 15 straight sets to this guy. And
[1:49] Speaker 2: none of them have been close, uh, So I thought
[1:52] Speaker 2: like maybe this was it. And then center just did
[1:55] Speaker 2: what he does, has the last few years dug deep
[1:58] Speaker 2: and he's just such an incredible mover. And that was
[2:01] Speaker 2: a big second set breaker. Obviously it's easy to say,
[2:03] Speaker 2: but center did what he needed to serve great in
[2:06] Speaker 2: that breaker. And then. The momentum just you felt like
[2:09] Speaker 2: was kind of one-way traffic after set two. But for
[2:12] Speaker 2: two hours of the match, I assumed Zverev was going
[2:15] Speaker 2: to win that.
[2:16] Speaker 1: Especially after the first set. After the first set.
[2:18] Speaker 2: Until he lost the second set breaker, I thought Zverev
[2:20] Speaker 2: was winning that match.
[2:21] Speaker 1: I did too. I mean, first set, they're back and forth.
[2:24] Speaker 1: Goes to a tiebreaker. It's seven all. They won 14
[2:27] Speaker 1: straight points on serve. And both guys serving incredible. Like
[2:30] Speaker 1: hitting lines. And then, you know, Zverev came through with
[2:34] Speaker 1: that massive forehand on set point. At that moment, I'm like, phew.
[2:37] Speaker 1: Zverev was going to win this. Sinner was a little
[2:40] Speaker 1: hesitant at times, I thought. And the forehand was a
[2:43] Speaker 1: little off. Sinner battles back again. They go back and forth, 1-1, 2-1,
[2:47] Speaker 1: all the way to the breaker. Sinner wins that second set.
[2:51] Speaker 1: And after Sinner wins the second set, then was Sinner 56%
[2:53] Speaker 1: chance to win. And I'm kind of with you. Once Sinner,
[2:58] Speaker 1: up until the very end of that tiebreaker, I thought
[3:00] Speaker 1: it was Zverev. Did you feel like Sinner upped his
[3:03] Speaker 1: game kind of end of the second, third, and fourth?
[3:05] Speaker 1: Do you feel like Zverev dipped? Do you feel like
[3:07] Speaker 1: it was a little bit of both?
[3:08] Speaker 2: I think it was a little bit of both because
[3:10] Speaker 2: early in that first set, Sinner had break point, or
[3:13] Speaker 2: maybe not early, like mid to late in the first set.
[3:15] Speaker 2: Like 3-4, I think it was, or 3-all. He shanked
[3:18] Speaker 2: a forehand. He shanked like a routine forehand, which is like,
[3:21] Speaker 2: I was like, whoa, he's a little nervous because he
[3:23] Speaker 2: was in control at that point and just, you're like, man,
[3:26] Speaker 2: like this guy, it's actually good to know that the
[3:29] Speaker 2: best player in the world still gets nervous. You know,
[3:31] Speaker 2: it makes you feel a little bit better sitting at home.
[3:33] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[3:34] Speaker 2: In the third set, it was like, you know, felt
[3:36] Speaker 2: like Zverev was hanging on. I don't know, like his
[3:38] Speaker 2: energy level dropped a little bit. He was, Sinner was
[3:41] Speaker 2: starting to get into service games with, you know, more
[3:44] Speaker 2: frequently with, you know, love 15s, love 30s, 1530s. And
[3:48] Speaker 2: you're just like, if he could just get one of
[3:49] Speaker 2: these early in each of these sets, like it's going
[3:51] Speaker 2: to kind of, the snowball is going to go and, Um,
[3:54] Speaker 2: and he played, he played well at the end. I
[3:56] Speaker 2: thought he was a little nervous trying to serve that,
[3:58] Speaker 2: serve the match.
[3:58] Speaker 1: We'll get to that game in a second. That was
[4:00] Speaker 1: an incredible game.
[4:01] Speaker 2: But still like, I thought center upped his game. I
[4:03] Speaker 2: thought he kind of upped his game to the point of,
[4:07] Speaker 2: he just went to like lockdown mode.
[4:09] Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
[4:10] Speaker 2: Like he, he wasn't worried about the match going long.
[4:12] Speaker 2: Obviously they were talking about it all day on ESPN
[4:15] Speaker 2: and never hit that three hour and 50 minute mark,
[4:17] Speaker 2: which he's never want to match over that. And this
[4:19] Speaker 2: match was like three 46 or three 48 or something. So,
[4:23] Speaker 2: I don't know how much that plays into his mental
[4:25] Speaker 2: side of things, but he was good today. I don't
[4:28] Speaker 2: think he played his best tennis from what we've seen
[4:30] Speaker 2: this year by any means.
[4:32] Speaker 1: No, he did not.
[4:33] Speaker 2: It's easy to win if you're Yannick Sinner or anybody
[4:35] Speaker 2: when you play really well. If you're not playing well
[4:37] Speaker 2: and you're still winning Wimbledon, that's a pretty darn good sign.
[4:40] Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like he did a good job on
[4:42] Speaker 1: Zverev's second serve. Sinner dropped back for the most part,
[4:45] Speaker 1: 15 feet behind the baseline. It was like, I'm not
[4:47] Speaker 1: going to get beat with the massive Zverev second serve
[4:50] Speaker 1: and get jammed. I'm going to retreat back, hit hit
[4:53] Speaker 1: good returns, and then just take my chances in rallies.
[4:55] Speaker 1: And over time, it seemed like he was just starting
[4:58] Speaker 1: to get the edge. Got the break midway, kind of
[5:01] Speaker 1: late third set. And then after that third set, Sinner
[5:04] Speaker 1: was a 72% chance likelihood to win. That was actually.
[5:08] Speaker 2: Yep.
[5:08] Speaker 1: After Sinner won that third set, I thought that would
[5:11] Speaker 1: almost go to like an 85% chance likelihood to win.
[5:14] Speaker 1: I know.
[5:14] Speaker 2: I'm with you on that one. It feels that way,
[5:16] Speaker 2: but I just don't think the numbers would support that
[5:20] Speaker 2: just with how it's gone. Obviously, I thought it'd be
[5:23] Speaker 2: like what you just said, like an 85 plus, but
[5:25] Speaker 2: that's too big of an odds for a guy that
[5:27] Speaker 2: just won a slam a month ago. Who's number two
[5:29] Speaker 2: in the world, all this stuff. And it's, it's impressive.
[5:34] Speaker 2: I mean, it felt like he ran out of gas
[5:36] Speaker 2: a little bit in the end. I thought, I mean,
[5:38] Speaker 2: like the energy kind of like there was a bit
[5:40] Speaker 2: of a lull and you can't have that. I'm not
[5:43] Speaker 2: saying that's, you know, it was an issue, but like, it's,
[5:47] Speaker 2: it's a bummer for him because he played some, some
[5:49] Speaker 2: good tennis all week. The forehand was awesome. The serve
[5:51] Speaker 2: was awesome.
[5:51] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[5:52] Speaker 2: He can play on the grass.
[5:53] Speaker 1: He proved it to everyone.
[5:54] Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I mean, if this, yeah, I can't believe
[5:56] Speaker 2: he hadn't made a quarter up until this point with
[5:58] Speaker 2: how comfortable he looked. But a great month for Zverev,
[6:03] Speaker 2: but just a bummer that he ran into Sinner today
[6:05] Speaker 2: because Sinner was the better player today. Not over the
[6:07] Speaker 2: last month, but today.
[6:09] Speaker 1: In that last game, Sinner serving for a 5-4, 15-30,
[6:12] Speaker 1: plays that drop shot, has like the crazy drop shot point,
[6:15] Speaker 1: and then had to win the extended rally at 30-all,
[6:18] Speaker 1: which he played like defense for to get out of
[6:20] Speaker 1: it Zverev was on top of the point he hit
[6:21] Speaker 1: the sky lob Sinner gets out of it kind of
[6:23] Speaker 1: has that little smile at the end of the point
[6:25] Speaker 1: like I just escaped and then and then close it
[6:28] Speaker 1: out the end with the forehand but it was a
[6:31] Speaker 1: great drive it was a I thought the match was
[6:33] Speaker 1: like pretty high high quality I'm with you like they
[6:36] Speaker 1: didn't both play their absolute best but quality was like
[6:40] Speaker 1: pretty good and I I agree with you too that
[6:43] Speaker 1: Sinner wasn't Sinner from the spring Sinner has is As
[6:47] Speaker 1: another level he can get to.
[6:48] Speaker 2: And that's the, I think that's the issue.
[6:50] Speaker 1: Beforehand was off all tournament.
[6:51] Speaker 2: He was off all tournament. I don't know, like, there
[6:54] Speaker 2: was a lot of, I'm sure there's a lot of
[6:56] Speaker 2: pressure on him at the French, right? And if he
[6:58] Speaker 2: would have lost at the French, just, let's say he
[7:00] Speaker 2: would have lost, right? You know, in a normal, you know, fashion,
[7:04] Speaker 2: 6-4 in the fourth or whatever. I think that's a
[7:07] Speaker 2: little easier to sleep on than being up a set
[7:10] Speaker 2: or two sets, like two breaks and like just collapsing
[7:13] Speaker 2: out there. Just trying to finish that career grand slam
[7:16] Speaker 2: and So even he feels some nerves and he got
[7:19] Speaker 2: out there and this is going to be, it depends
[7:20] Speaker 2: if he plays Montreal and Cincy, but I'm still on board.
[7:24] Speaker 2: Like I kind of want to see him win them all.
[7:26] Speaker 1: There's no way he plays Montreal.
[7:27] Speaker 2: I don't think so. But like cool to win. Like
[7:29] Speaker 2: if he won all nine.
[7:30] Speaker 1: That would be really cool.
[7:31] Speaker 2: I mean, like, I wonder if he cares. Huh?
[7:34] Speaker 1: I don't think he cares, but it would be cool
[7:36] Speaker 1: if he cared.
[7:36] Speaker 2: That's never been done.
[7:38] Speaker 3: Right.
[7:38] Speaker 2: Ever.
[7:39] Speaker 1: That'd be sick. What's your goal this year? Win all
[7:41] Speaker 1: nine Masters Series. I don't care about the slams this year.
[7:44] Speaker 1: I'm not peaking the slams. My goal is to just
[7:46] Speaker 1: play all nine, you know? Yeah. He's now beat Zverev
[7:51] Speaker 1: 10 times in a row. When? Which is amazing in itself.
[7:55] Speaker 1: It's not like Zverev's ranked 30.
[7:56] Speaker 2: He's not ranked 30. And Zverev, where would you put
[8:00] Speaker 2: him as like returners on tour?
[8:03] Speaker 1: Zverev?
[8:03] Speaker 2: Like as best returners, like top three, top two?
[8:07] Speaker 1: Like... Top five. Five to ten.
[8:10] Speaker 3: Really?
[8:10] Speaker 2: Okay. So still pretty good.
[8:12] Speaker 1: I have no information.
[8:14] Speaker 2: When was the last time he broke Yannick's center serve?
[8:17] Speaker 1: Like what date?
[8:19] Speaker 2: When was the last time he broke Yannick's center serve?
[8:21] Speaker 1: Has he broken him in 2026?
[8:22] Speaker 2: He has not. And they've played six times.
[8:26] Speaker 1: They've played six times. That's stupid.
[8:28] Speaker 2: 2025? 2025, Vienna, Erste Bank open. That's the last time
[8:34] Speaker 2: that I've seen that he's broken serve.
[8:36] Speaker 1: That is crazy because I don't care where you want
[8:38] Speaker 1: to put Zverev as returners. He's a good returner. I
[8:41] Speaker 1: think we can agree on that.
[8:42] Speaker 2: You don't have one off game where you just double
[8:46] Speaker 2: fault twice.
[8:46] Speaker 1: Double fault and Zverev got a let court.
[8:51] Speaker 2: That's crazy to me. That's absolutely mind-blowing that he hasn't
[8:54] Speaker 2: broken them this year.
[8:55] Speaker 1: Do you think that's a psychological edge or is it
[8:58] Speaker 1: just that Sinner's better?
[8:59] Speaker 2: I mean, Sinner is better. What does Sasha do better
[9:05] Speaker 2: than what Sinner does?
[9:07] Speaker 1: Better first serve. Better second serve. Okay. But the gap
[9:12] Speaker 1: between Zverev's first serve and Sinner's first serve is so
[9:15] Speaker 1: much smaller than Sinner's baseline quality of shot and Zverev
[9:21] Speaker 1: consistently over time. Yeah.
[9:22] Speaker 2: So it's crazy to think that he hasn't broken them
[9:26] Speaker 2: and Sinner just– Both these guys came forward really well today,
[9:29] Speaker 2: which was impressive, like on the grass. It's crazy how
[9:32] Speaker 2: much you can see the dust, just how much they
[9:35] Speaker 2: move on the baselines and the bad bounces they're getting.
[9:38] Speaker 2: And they're still able to catch them clean and just
[9:40] Speaker 2: play these really good points. It's remarkable.
[9:42] Speaker 1: It's remarkable. It really is. Sinner, though, that first set
[9:47] Speaker 1: after he shanked the forehand on the break point, I
[9:50] Speaker 1: was worried that... Is this his new level or is
[9:54] Speaker 1: he going to figure the forehand out? I think he's
[9:55] Speaker 1: going to figure it out.
[9:57] Speaker 2: Yeah, because if it was his new level, that brings
[9:59] Speaker 2: like a lot. of guys into play to win slams,
[10:01] Speaker 2: which is kind of fun. But also you want to
[10:04] Speaker 2: see like the best guys be the best guys because
[10:07] Speaker 2: you know what he's capable of.
[10:08] Speaker 1: Yeah. And center tonight, they got the Wimbledon ball, which
[10:12] Speaker 1: is going to be amazing. You know, he's going to
[10:13] Speaker 1: get the dance with the Scova after that. back in bed.

[12:17] Speaker 3: 6-2, 5-7, 6-3.

[12:33] Speaker 1: Luhova is serving. Noskova had a handful of match points.
[12:37] Speaker 1: Doesn't get one of those match points, right? Doesn't get
[12:41] Speaker 1: one of those. And then this thing got messy and
[12:43] Speaker 1: good in all the right ways.
[12:46] Speaker 2: I got uncomfortable sitting on my couch.
[12:47] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[12:48] Speaker 1: Take us through it. So Nosekip goes up 6-2, 5-2.
[12:50] Speaker 1: Doesn't get those match points. Okay. Not a big deal.
[12:53] Speaker 1: Going to go serve for 5-3. What happens?
[12:55] Speaker 2: Nothing good. Nothing good happens when she serves 4-5-3. And
[13:00] Speaker 2: the game at 5-2, when she had those match points,
[13:02] Speaker 2: she missed just like routine backhands. Same on the serve.
[13:06] Speaker 2: She had a double fault. And you're like, Oh, no. Like, just, oh, no.
[13:11] Speaker 1: Did you have a feeling when she didn't get that game,
[13:13] Speaker 1: like it was going to get tricky? Or did you
[13:14] Speaker 1: still have confidence in her?
[13:16] Speaker 2: I had issues once it got to five all. Okay.
[13:20] Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Because on the women's side,
[13:22] Speaker 2: a little bit more so, like the freedom to break
[13:24] Speaker 2: back is a little bit more, just the numbers show
[13:27] Speaker 2: that it's a little bit more likely. But, man, after
[13:32] Speaker 2: five all, and then she loses. Okay, then seven, five,
[13:34] Speaker 2: and you're like, okay, like, big picture. You tell her
[13:39] Speaker 2: three hours ago, hey, you're starting a third set for
[13:41] Speaker 2: the Wimbledon final. She would have said, for sure, let's
[13:44] Speaker 2: do it. I'd be in that position. She's got the
[13:47] Speaker 2: head in the towel. She's looking down. You're like, this
[13:50] Speaker 2: is going to be 6-0. She's going to lose 11
[13:52] Speaker 2: games in a row. And we're going to have kind
[13:55] Speaker 2: of just like an absolute gutting performance for somebody who's
[13:59] Speaker 2: played extremely well the last few weeks. But that's impressive.
[14:03] Speaker 2: I don't care about the tennis. I don't care about
[14:05] Speaker 2: what happened in the match. For her to come back
[14:07] Speaker 2: having championship points, lose five games in a row to
[14:10] Speaker 2: end the second, then come back and win the third.
[14:13] Speaker 2: That is incredible resolve and resiliency. Like nothing better.
[14:19] Speaker 1: Tennis aside, that was so... So before this match, Mujova
[14:23] Speaker 1: likely had a chance to win 62%. That surprised me.
[14:27] Speaker 1: I thought Noska was going to win. Like she has
[14:29] Speaker 1: looked a little sharper. She won the warmup tournament. Not
[14:31] Speaker 1: that Mujova wasn't playing great, but I think just the
[14:33] Speaker 1: fact that Mujova took out Coco Gauff probably gave her that.
[14:36] Speaker 1: But then after that first set, Moskova wins that first
[14:40] Speaker 1: set 6-2, right? In pretty dominant fashion. Moskova's likelihood to win, 82%.
[14:46] Speaker 1: So obviously they take into account that she not only
[14:49] Speaker 1: won that first set, she dominated that first set 6-2.
[14:54] Speaker 1: And also that looked good. 6-2, 5-2. You're like, yeah,
[14:57] Speaker 1: the likelihood percentage was correct.
[15:00] Speaker 2: I mean, she was 3% likelihood to win, Mohova was,
[15:04] Speaker 2: at one point.
[15:05] Speaker 1: All right, so after Noskova blows the match points, loses
[15:07] Speaker 1: that second set, she goes hands to the ears, like
[15:10] Speaker 1: doesn't want to hear the crowd, right? Walks to the bench.
[15:13] Speaker 1: Just like you, just like me, I'm like, Mahova's going
[15:15] Speaker 1: to win this third set 6-0. Like this is absolutely done.
[15:18] Speaker 1: Third set, Noskova, to her credit, bounced back. What was
[15:23] Speaker 1: the key moment, do you believe, in this third set?
[15:25] Speaker 1: Take us to the key moment.
[15:26] Speaker 2: It happened early in this third set for Noskova. The
[15:29] Speaker 2: first game, and I want to get this right. I
[15:31] Speaker 2: have some numbers written down here. First game, she's lost
[15:34] Speaker 2: five games in a row. All hell is breaking loose
[15:37] Speaker 2: in her mind. She's had match points, championship points, you
[15:40] Speaker 2: name it. The fact that she was able to get
[15:43] Speaker 2: out of that first game, to just get a hold,
[15:45] Speaker 2: to go up 1-0, righted the ship, calmed everything, because
[15:50] Speaker 2: I think if she loses that game, the snowball starts
[15:55] Speaker 2: going downhill in a hurry. It already has the last 15,
[15:58] Speaker 2: 20 minutes for her at this point, so that first game,
[16:01] Speaker 2: that in the third was a huge key moment for me.
[16:03] Speaker 2: The fact that she got out of it. Cause once you,
[16:06] Speaker 2: if you get a hold there, we've all lost sets
[16:08] Speaker 2: where we shouldn't have, maybe not at Wimbledon, maybe not
[16:11] Speaker 2: in the finals, but she was able to just, I
[16:14] Speaker 2: got a game.
[16:14] Speaker 1: Okay.
[16:15] Speaker 2: Like let's, you know, let's regroup. So that was huge, huge.
[16:19] Speaker 1: I think too, like those give us service. So good.
[16:21] Speaker 1: We always talk about Rabakina. Rabakina has the best serve
[16:24] Speaker 1: in women's tennis.
[16:24] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[16:25] Speaker 1: Let's go after this run. Maybe as a second best
[16:28] Speaker 1: serve in women's tennis.
[16:29] Speaker 2: How quick was she playing, like trying to serve it out?
[16:31] Speaker 2: She'd like go down break point, then just like get
[16:33] Speaker 2: a ball, hit an ace. Go down break point.
[16:35] Speaker 1: I feel like she went wide like every time.
[16:36] Speaker 2: Every time. She went wide every time.
[16:37] Speaker 1: Every time.
[16:38] Speaker 2: But like never went to the towel to like just
[16:40] Speaker 2: take a second. I don't know if that's better or worse,
[16:42] Speaker 2: but she's a Wimbledon champion, so it doesn't matter.
[16:44] Speaker 1: She's a Wimbledon champion. Her speech, sorry, Bukova's speech at
[16:48] Speaker 1: the end. was great. I don't know if you caught that.
[16:51] Speaker 1: She started by going, I want to congratulate my ex-friend,
[16:55] Speaker 1: Linda Noskova. I thought it was a funny moment. Pretty great.
[16:59] Speaker 1: They're like two Czech girls who are in the final
[17:01] Speaker 1: and it's pretty meaningful. But big, just congratulations to Linda
[17:06] Speaker 1: Noskova on the mental effort. Not so much the tennis,
[17:10] Speaker 1: but the mental effort was so, so good. And also,
[17:16] Speaker 1: you guys have obviously heard we've been talking about these
[17:17] Speaker 1: likelihood chances to win we want to thank ibm for
[17:21] Speaker 1: for providing that data um it's really cool honestly like
[17:25] Speaker 1: we use it in the app a lot even like
[17:27] Speaker 1: espn we were using it like likelihood chance to win
[17:30] Speaker 1: it's it's interesting it's cool they take into account everything
[17:33] Speaker 1: and so uh thanks to ibm for helping us through
[17:35] Speaker 1: these these something majors.

[17:44] Speaker 2: Goodness gracious. All right. Well, let's get to our other
[17:46] Speaker 2: great partner because Sam's now that Wimbledon has concluded. Should
[17:50] Speaker 2: we talk about a struggle that we usually have traveling?
[17:52] Speaker 1: Yeah, it's data. As you know, as soon as we land,
[17:55] Speaker 1: we're usually dealing with those stupid roaming charges. You get
[17:58] Speaker 1: that text on your phone, roaming charges. Not anymore.
[18:01] Speaker 2: And add to that bad connections, trying to find free
[18:04] Speaker 2: Wi-Fi and probably getting scammed by a data plan at
[18:06] Speaker 2: the airport.
[18:06] Speaker 3: Not anymore.
[18:07] Speaker 1: It's a headache, especially when you're trying to relax, right?
[18:10] Speaker 1: You land in London. You want to get off the plane.
[18:11] Speaker 1: Just want to relax. That's when we started using Saley.

[19:02] Speaker 2: Yeah, I just couldn't help myself. I just couldn't help myself.
[19:06] Speaker 2: This is Yannick Sinner's last 111 service games against Vera.
[19:09] Speaker 2: He's won 110 of them. That last one, let's see
[19:13] Speaker 2: if you were paying attention in class today. When was
[19:14] Speaker 2: the last time he broke him?
[19:17] Speaker 1: It was last year. Vienna last year. Excuse me. Vienna 2025.
[19:22] Speaker 2: That was kind of a trick question that you almost said.
[19:24] Speaker 1: I know. I could hear one in my house. I'm
[19:25] Speaker 1: having a pool party at my house right now. I
[19:27] Speaker 1: just came in here to record this.
[19:28] Speaker 2: This is what we do.
[19:29] Speaker 1: We're having fun. I want to leave.
[19:32] Speaker 2: But this Wimbledon, you just can't.
[19:34] Speaker 1: But it's a Wimbledon final. I had to make the
[19:37] Speaker 1: trip in here.
[19:38] Speaker 2: Before we put a bow on these championship matches, where
[19:40] Speaker 2: does Linda Neskova go from here, Mr. Bullring guy? Wait,
[19:46] Speaker 2: did you say if she won wimble then you get
[19:47] Speaker 2: a bullring.
[19:48] Speaker 1: I teased it i'm not going i was like oh
[19:50] Speaker 1: jokingly i was like oh she gets it i should
[19:52] Speaker 1: do there's zero chance i'm doing that i don't have
[19:54] Speaker 1: the i get a fake one for an episode oh.
[19:57] Speaker 2: Goodness okay but i don't know where to get it
[19:58] Speaker 2: where does.
[19:59] Speaker 1: She go from here i think she will i think
[20:02] Speaker 1: she's like gonna be like a staple in the top
[20:05] Speaker 1: 10 for the next year yeah maybe longer Well, obviously
[20:09] Speaker 1: the next year. That's a stupid take from me. She
[20:11] Speaker 1: has 2,000 points from Wimbledon. I just think she's going
[20:13] Speaker 1: to be in the top 10 for the next five years. Yeah.
[20:16] Speaker 2: Doesn't look like she's going anywhere.
[20:16] Speaker 1: I don't know if she'll be vying for number one,
[20:19] Speaker 1: but top 10 for sure.
[20:21] Speaker 2: Fair enough. Yeah.
[20:22] Speaker 1: You think that too? Yeah, for sure.
[20:24] Speaker 2: I mean, there's nothing that shows me that she's not
[20:27] Speaker 2: a top 10 player. And the fact that what she
[20:29] Speaker 2: just did mentally in that final, it's kind of what
[20:34] Speaker 2: we talk about with Coco Gauff, like her mental side
[20:35] Speaker 2: of things. Okay, we'll keep her there. If that's like
[20:39] Speaker 2: a day-to-day thing for her, she's in the top 10
[20:42] Speaker 2: forever until she decides to stop playing tennis.
[20:44] Speaker 1: Yep, agreed. All right, let's go with women's bracket final
[20:47] Speaker 1: standings because we have that. I won the women's bracket
[20:51] Speaker 1: and I dominated the women's bracket because I had no
[20:54] Speaker 1: risk of losing in the final, but that was enough.
[20:56] Speaker 1: Stevie got second, John got third, but I really just
[20:58] Speaker 1: ran away with this. But the winner, this font is
[21:02] Speaker 1: so small in here. Wop? Casia? Am I reading that right?
[21:08] Speaker 2: This is a tricky one.
[21:09] Speaker 1: Why is the font? The Suits put the font so
[21:11] Speaker 1: small on this. It's like a size two font. And
[21:13] Speaker 1: I can't zoom in.
[21:14] Speaker 2: W-A-W-P-L-K-A.
[21:18] Speaker 1: W-A-W-P-L-K-A.com. Congratulations to that person. Now I can't scroll out.
[21:25] Speaker 1: Now my notes are botched up. They had no skill
[21:28] Speaker 1: at beating Mohova in the final. So they're getting a
[21:31] Speaker 1: $ 2, 000 gift card to Tennis Warehouse. They also get to
[21:33] Speaker 1: come on the show. So reach out. There we go.
[21:36] Speaker 1: And let us know you want to come on the show.
[21:38] Speaker 1: The men's standings, we still have to update. The men's
[21:41] Speaker 1: final just finished like 30 minutes ago. For whatever reason,
[21:43] Speaker 1: our standings just take a little bit. So on the
[21:46] Speaker 1: Thursday episode, we'll have those standings. Also, Thursday episode, Isra's
[21:50] Speaker 1: going to be back. Thursday episode is going to be fun.
[21:52] Speaker 1: We have some like really fun segments, something major. It's
[21:56] Speaker 1: a lot of tennis. I don't even like when we
[21:58] Speaker 1: talk tennis. I like when we do the random segments.
[22:01] Speaker 1: We have like three phenomenal ones on Thursdays. So stay
[22:05] Speaker 1: tuned for that one that's going to make Isner look
[22:06] Speaker 1: like an idiot. And he doesn't know about it. We've
[22:09] Speaker 1: created a separate group chat like we like to do.
[22:11] Speaker 1: We've left him out of it. He doesn't know what's coming.
[22:13] Speaker 1: But it's going to be good. But, again, a great
