What's going on everybody welcome to the US Open final now? Not happening now. It's happening about an hour's time. We're waiting for the doubles for the ladies doubles to finish and What it's going to do an extended preview though because we have a lot to discuss final match of the tournament final Grand Slam match of the year as well. So and what and there's a lot on the line. We're gonna set this thing up Because there's more than just a slam more than just a Trophy more than a paycheck the world number one ranking is at stake. I guess next-gen Legacy is at stake and And much much more. So it's gonna be exciting. I'm excited for this So we're starting a little bit earlier than usual just because of that So the ladies doubles is on right now the final that's done now the first thing we need to go to check because The most important part of this. So one of the most important parts of this match Could be the weather Check this out This is New York It is raining the roof is shut for this doubles match and It might be shut for the singles too because this is where we are playing tennis around here And it is raining now. Is there rain on the way? There's supposed to be more rain on the way You can see there spotty rain on the way so it might This might be played under the roof which Might be a big deal. I mean, it's definitely something we've got to keep an eye on Maybe it makes the courts a bit quicker. Maybe it favors Elkara's. I Don't know. Well again We've got to keep an eye on it though. We'll keep an eye on that weather But if they shut the roof or if they play with the roof if they start with the roof shut It doesn't open they leave the roof shut for the entire The entire match. So if it does shut at any point, it'll stay shut We'll see if that makes we'll see if that makes any difference how the flights The planes we don't have to worry about the fly the planes. It's fine. The planes are fine The roof shut it won't matter Okay, the rain will slow down the courts. Well looking at the it's 70 percent humidity. So Indoors might favor Elkara's but with that humidity my favorite rude, you know being a bit slower Conditions heavier conditions that could favor rude So it does make a difference It does make a difference Yeah, look they were talking about the flight patterns for the We're not talking about that. Yeah, we're talking about the flight patterns going over the top of the stadium because that's Loud noises that the players might have to contend with but that won't be a problem today Isn't a doubles match in progress right now. Yes, they're almost done though and after this the men's singles comes on straight away So I guess before we get into it. Let's get Let's get the oh for god that changed that Let's talk about all the champions for the US open It's got a bit of a big roundup of the US open as well as a preview for the final match because this is the final The final match of the event But also we've had you know the women's champion already crowned. We've got the juniors the wheelchair So let's go through every single every single champion of this event starting with The quad doubles so the wheelchair doubles we had Sam Schroeder and Niels vink taking out Robert Shaw and David Wagner in that final the women's quad that was a quad doubles the women's wheelchair doubles we had DeGroot and Van Coot taking out the number one team taking out Khomeiji and Mons Jane in The final I'm gonna push to these names. I know I am. I'm sorry the men's doubles The men's doubles was actually a bit of an upset the number two team dealer Puente and Pifer took out the number one team the Brits Hewitt and Reed in a super tiebreaker in the third than the quad singles in the Wheelchair in the wheelchair. They're happening. They'll be happening a little bit later. So that's actually Schroeder versus vink now that's the Schroeder if you remember at the start of the year was the one who beat Dylan Orcott in the quad finals at the start Of the year in Australia. So he's sort of like I guess Yeah, the guy that beats that put that retired Dylan Orcott and the women's We've got DeGroot versus Khomeiji now that must be happening as well While the friends finals on because we haven't got a result there in the men's wheelchairs the men's wheelchair we've got Alfie Hewitt the Brit. He takes out the number one Canita in the final there. So the Brits get one. Let's go to the girls doubles girls doubles we had Havla Chauva and Schneider taking on Who Hovdee and Preston number one team taking out the number three team there the Aussie Preston Gotta keep an eye on her Taylor Preston. There's an Aussie and the boys doubles We had Dietrich and Angelo taking out the They take it to taking out the Luton the Luton and Rankin the Brit the Brit and the New Zealander then the mixed doubles The Aussies we had Sanders and Saunders and Pierce taking it McNally and Bloomfield a Bloomberg Sorry, the the wildcards in that final then the women's doubles that's going on right now We've got senior Cobra and credit Cobra Winning against McNally and Towson they're in a fifth. Sorry a third set for one the men's doubles number one team Salisbury and Salisbury and Ram taking out Cole Hof and Skupski in that final then the girls singles we had history a Filipino winning the tournament Yeah, yeah Ella Taking out and Drea and that was actually number 10 versus number 14. So that was a bit of a random final Sorry, uh, taking out. Sorry, not number. That's the quarterfinal Ella taking on the number two Have the Cobra in that final So bit of an upset there and then in the boys singles that just happened. I think a couple of hours ago with the number five Lounder Lander loose the Spaniard taking out Bailey the number two in the world in the boys Singles and then of course we had eager Shriyantek taking out on Strabur yesterday in the women's singles So that's where we're out with all the winners and of course we've got rude versus Elkraz And I think it must be the other the rest of the wheelchair Singles as well. Let me check Let me check That must be coming on at the same time as the as the men's final or they're playing right now It's not coming up on my screen So yes, so that is they're all the champions of this US Open Now um, yeah 4 p.m. Eastern, so we've got one about an hour away about an hour away By the way, it looks like crudger cova senior cova about to get there well like 7th slam, I mean there there are doubles there are doubles beast They're absolutely crazy red shirt. Yep finals day. You know, it's up red shirt. Congratulations to all the winners Yeah, congratulations to all the winners of the final slam of the year now let's turn our focus to the rankings because You guys might know or maybe if you've seen on social media the last couple of days Once we saw this this final. We knew that the number one ranking was at stake now going into this tournament Let's just set this up going into this tournament. There were five players That could be number one five players now Mehvedev was number one coming into this tournament, right? He had to do some special things to keep that ranking Rafa, he had to do some special things He was the most likely to be number one because he had no points to defend everyone else had played last year And rafa had to get to a certain spot to be guaranteed the number one Unfortunately, he only made the fourth round. It was almost enough. He made the quarterfinals. It might have been enough But he made the fourth round, uh, since he passed he his hopes were lost in the first round when he lost But he could have been number one had he played well And the two players that we probably didn't think we're going to be number one Alcaraz and rude. I mean rude at the start of the week No champ. We didn't think that was going to be any chance, right? We thought I'll cast rude number one. Yeah, okay, whatever He they're playing for the number one ranking today The winner plays is number one and is the us open champion. I'll show you Here is the live rankings right now not the official but the live rankings right now. So Uh, just to give you guys an idea here is the live point situation. Here is the uh No matter what happens someone's getting they're both getting high new new career high rankings Um, and this will be official later today. We're going to have the ranking show obviously as well today By the kujikovic city covered just won Their doubles match and they've won the doubles title. So they're the new champions of us open Or at least they are the champions of the us and here is the points that the winner will get So you can see here Basically if alcares wins He will stay up at number one and if rude wins they'll switch spots That's basically what you need to know You can see him mevadevs verav all the guys that played world last year Dropped down the ranks jokovic didn't drop down too far considering how many points he lost He actually kind of stayed there uh stayed up there a little bit faa dropped out of the top 10 completely So that's the big one now rafa was very unlucky. He's only just outside Like I said, how do you got to the quarter finals? He probably would have uh or even the semi finals. He probably would have uh been at least number two in the world in the uh in the ranks, but It there's a lot on the line not to mention Two historic things actually a bunch of historic stuff First norwegian number one if rude wins the biggest jump to get to number one if rude wins if rude wins today He'll jump up six spots to number one, which is the highest jump In the rankings to get to number one. Usually it's you know two spots high or one spot Six spots is the highest ever on alcares's time on alcares is uh on alcares's side He'll be the youngest world number one ever On the men's side taking leighton huwitz record of 20 years old So leighton's been the the youngest world number one for the last 20 years At 20 he was 20 years old at that time Alcares would be the youngest world number one ever on the men's side Now the women's side we did that the other day. They've had a lot of young number ones, you know hingus and cellis and Who else was it? Uh, I think it was chris ebbett's uh sharapova So he's not going to be a youngest ever, but he's going to be the youngest Number one on the men's side and the only teenage world number one for the men and who to thought In 2022 it would be getting something like that happened. I mean Tennis is only getting harder. It's you know, it's only getting harder to become The best player on the planet not to mention winning slams and everything else Uh, he'll also be I think the fourth spanish number one On the men's side behind one cars forero his his coach Carlos moya and of course rafa. So he'll be the fourth spaniard to reach that peak and um We'll go through all that history at the end once one of these things happened We'll talk about all the historical things that all the records broken So it's a historic day 12 months ago. We had an historic day, but this is a little bit different This is new history whereas I guess with the jocovish. Uh, that was kind of like, uh, ultimate history This is kind of like a little bit of new history, especially with rude You know winning would be uh, would be a new piece of history All right Yeah, ladies doubles Ladies doubles just finished Um with kredger kova senior kova winning Um, let me just give them some respect because I want to make sure I get this right Um, I think it is there I think it is there. Um, well kredger kova didn't play much of this year because of uh injury, right? So I'm pretty sure it's their They've won a hell of a lot of slams. Let me check It is their sixth slam and now they've completed the set. So, um, kredger kova has now got australian open uh Doubles two french opens two wimbledons and a us and they've won three of the four slams this year So, uh, they just didn't win the french open because I don't think kredger kova played the french, right? Or not the doubles I don't think they did or did they lose in the first round?  Uh, kredger kova senior kova pulled out of the uh, the french open this year. So, um, they could have Bloody they could have gone four for four. They went three for four and one not played but yeah So that's uh, kredger kova's sixth grand slam and they complete the set and same with uh, senior kova. So they are, um They're the best doubles team on the planet. I mean, I know golf is the best doubles player on the planet But I mean look if you want all the slams Anyone three of the four this year, you're the best team They've won everything now. Yeah, they've won everything now They've won every slam. They've uh, they've played Six Korea's uh, grand slam singles Rude looking like Loki Just his long hair Um, what's going on hi cam matches involving players such as no back Serena Federer not really true. What are you talking about? Matches involving players not true. Um, what do you mean not true? No, what's not true? Do you think that raffle play the laver cup? I think raffle will play the laver cup if Federer plays If Federer doesn't play raffle might withdraw Might withdraw Uh, koga golf was the number one. Yeah But she's not like just because you're number one in the world and just in doubles doesn't mean you the uh, I mean I think you can talk about the uh, the number one rankings on the men's side, you know The best doubles team is not the best doubles one in the number one is not the best team, right? Laver cup is a joke. Yeah, look it's an exhibition She's not number one anymore. Okay, so that changes. Does that change the day today? It must be credit cobra senior cobra surely How do you win three of the four slams and then Not be number one Why would raffle withdraw still getting paid if Federer's not there? Yeah, well, I don't think raffle needs paycheck I think it's more about he wants to play with he wants to play alongside Federer And he's got a baby coming and you know all this other stuff. So I'm sure he has other things That he wants to do but I think the reason why I think raffle will pull out um is Because uh raffle Does it for Federer like he's playing the laver cup for Federer not like he probably wouldn't play at Federer wasn't there He wouldn't have signed up So he can't be here more often. Um, no worries dark knight. That's all right Thank you for the nice words appreciate it. Oh look keep doing what we're doing.  Hey, look you can ask I guess Uh Elkers would be a dad soon. No, no raffle raffle raffle.  Oh, you know great european players People keep questioning elkara's questioning. What who would have won elkara's onole? um Hopefully we see that next year great question great question Um, I can read the twitch chat by the way Everyone on twitch. I can read twitch. So read write your questions. I can see your questions too Imagine a 19 year old teenage sensation carrying a baby. Yeah. Well, that's Yeah Well, he's not yeah. Well, I don't think he's a dad Uh laver cup is no longer an exhibition. You now get official ranking points for it Really since when? That's news to me Uh, I think raffle should play for two more years and not retire. Okay Australia wins the mixed doubles. Yeah, we won, uh, like two days ago, right? I think the mixed doubles is on friday or yesterday Who was it? I can't remember No, elkers does not have a kid. No, no, no, no They're saying raffle has a kid raffle has a kid on the way In america We have a lot of 19 year olds having oh look Taylor fritz as a kid and I think he had a kid at like 20, right? Absolutely no shame in having a kid at 20 Uh, what time is the final final's gonna start about About half an hour. We're gonna uh, they're gonna start coming out and doing all the things We're just a little early because we're gonna break down all of this Now, um, if you haven't joined us or if you haven't watched the uh, the preview Let's go through the preview or the road to the finals for both these guys Uh, you might have seen this already, but this is the road to the final for both Elkara's and rude Uh, and who they've had to play and the kind of matches Because we all know Elkara's have played five sets But rude has also had a bit of a tough road Casper rude versus Carlos Elkara's is the men's us open final for 2022 And both players have had to battle to get to the final stage Casper rude came into the tournament seated five and would take on kyle edmund the brit who hadn't played for a Long time and this showed as rude won in straight sets six three seven five six two in the second round He take on the exciting unseated dutchman van writhhoven who had a great run at wimbledon And after dropping the first set rude had to battle back eventually prevailing in four six seven six four six four six four In the third round he take on the number 29 seed tommy paul who had been in very good form throughout the us open series And after trading tie breaks in the first three sets it turned into a classic with rude eventually winning in five sets seven six six seven seven six five seven six love in the fourth round rude would take on The lucky loser mutay who got a second chance after a few late withdrawals and to make the most of his second chance And after dropping the third set rude would eventually cruise through six one six two six seven six two To advance to his first us open quarterfinal in the quarterfinals rude would take on the number 13 seed baritini Who had played very well at the us open the previous few years But rude came out on fire and would get through in straight sets six one six four seven six to advance to the semi Finals of the us in the semi finals rude would take on the number 27 seed hashtenov Who had just beaten kirios in five sets in the quarterfinals? And after dropping the third set rude would prevail in four seven six six two five seven six two To get to his second grand slam final of the year Carlos el crés enter the tournament as the number three seed and will play baez in the first round And after the first sets being very close baez eventually retired in the third with el crés getting through Seven five seven five two love retirement in the second round He'd take on another argentinian courier who couldn't put up a fight against el crés with his bandit getting through in three six two Six one seven five in the third round He'd take on the american brooksby who'd been very impressive to this stage beating born a chorich along the way But el crés was too good getting through in straight sets six three six three six three in the fourth round He'd take on former us open champion of 15th seed marin chilech and after winning two of the first three sets chilech made him work pushing el crés into the four hour mark and five sets with el crés eventually prevailing Six four three six six four four six six three to get to the quarterfinals in the quarterfinals El crés would take on the number 11 seed sinner who had beaten in the last two times that they played And after going down two sets of one and facing a match point el crés would eventually prevail in a five hour Record-breaking match to finish later than any other match at the us open getting through in five six three six seven six seven seven five Six three to get to his first semi-final of the slam El crés would take on the number 22 seed in the semi-final Francis t rfo who had had a dream run beating rafa and rublev along the way and after going down a set El crés would have to battle again in five sets t rfo pushing him to the brink but el crés prevailed six seven six three six one Six seven six three to advance to his first grand slam final These two have played two times before with el crés winning both their matches in straight sets And their previous match was in miami only about six months ago With el crés getting that win in the final of that masters 1000 event if ru's going to win this match He needs to play aggressive and he also needs to keep the foot on the gas If he does go up two sets of love because we've noticed over the last couple of matches After he goes up two sets He seems to take the foot off the gas and we've seen with el crés you can't allow to do that because that's what happened with t rfo And he got beaten if el crés is going to win he's going to have to win the first set I don't think he can go down a set again and play another five set epic like he has been the last couple of matches He needs to get off to a good start and keep the energy up because because ruud can play for five hours El crés has already done that But how much more gas has he got left in the tank? This is going to be an all-time final with the world number one ranking on the line Not just the us open. So there is high stakes for this one. I'm going to go with ruud I think ru's going to win four I think after playing in the french open final a couple of months ago where he lost to rafa I think he's going to use that experience and also the energy levels I think he's going to be a little fitter and I think el crés might fall apart He's got to fall apart eventually. He's only human. So I'm going to go with ruud and four But let me know down the cards below who's going to win this final All right We're back So there you go um I mean look el crés again like I said in that video um el crés has gone How much more can he play? The man has to eventually fall apart Quick change. Yeah All right Uh, sorry atb cup has now been ranking points not let it come my bad. That's all right. That's all right Yeah, the atb cups had points for a while Uh, who is the youngest world number one of all time leighton hewitt at 20 years old. So, uh, yeah If el crés wins will be the youngest world number one. So we're witnessing history today. We're witnessing history And also the first final that's been The first time that a grand slam final has determined the world number one between the two finalists So or they're playing for the world number one. So that's what uh, that's where we're out at the moment We're watching a historic match with uh with that as well Could you see fed around winning a slam anymore? No Uh, cinema was the closest to defeat el crés in the us so far. Yeah Yeah, chilech was like chilech was kind of not lucky, but I guess like Sort of lucky to get to the final uh to get to that final set tiapo was definitely lucky to get to the final set. I mean he was supposed he could have been out Of uh, he could have been out in four But yeah, cinema. I mean he was literally one point away And the thing is you look at rude. Uh, so you look at um look at big foe and you look at uh chilech Compare him to them to sinner And rude is more like sinner right rude is more like sinner than he is that like chilech or or tiapo So If the guy who was one point away You know three matter two matches ago is there In the fight like the guy if a player like that guy is playing el crés in the final uh rude that is Then I think that it's gonna be look a lot of people think that el crés is gonna win and that's he's the favorite of course Picking el crés is like yeah cool I don't know.  I mean just madness We could finish with a madness. That's what I'm thinking. We're gonna finish with madness Uh, rude is like no way.  Yeah, I think he just got the energy levels I think he's just got more energy El crés is going to run out of energy. Yeah That's what I Eventually it's kind of it's funny because I'm kind of like I had the same feeling with fiontech when I was like, okay when she like She's got to lose eventually right And then she kept winning so it's kind of feel I feel the exact same way about el crés right now. It's like Surely he's gonna run into a wall Like he's going to eventually like Break down physically. He can't keep doing this, but he keeps doing it. So it's like I was the same with fiontech I'm like eventually she's gonna find a hard opponent. She's gonna lose the streaks in the end and she just kept winning so Maybe we're watching el crés do it like a fiontech thing and just Defy the odds every single time Now if el crés wins in three he could he could blow rude off the court and win in three sets Don't get that like I could definitely see that happening But I think that if rude can win that first set and drag this match out He's gonna be He's definitely gonna be able to outlast el crés el crés has got to he's got to be sore He's got to be sore I know el crés is 19 and blah blah. Yeah, I know blah blah blah. He's a teenager. He's a kid He can do anything. Okay, I get it. But also He's a human So I mean raffer at 19 wasn't winning five set matches every week or every day So, you know just because he's 19 doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants You know what I mean? There's a lot of 19 year olds that could play one five setter and then the next round they'd Fall apart, you know like el crés last year He played two five setters back to back and then he broke and then he retired you know, so Yeah, just because he's 19 doesn't mean he's anything. I mean raffer could probably do it at 30 You know raffer could no way could do it at 35, right? So I don't think that his age matters And rude is solid and composed. Yeah rude is gonna make him play a lot of shots. That's the thing rude is gonna make el crés play a lot whereas the other guys You know chillich bit of a big serve big forehand and tiapho You know bit of tiapho actually probably ran out of gas towards the end Or at least in that third, you know third said he ran out of gas and then he re-energized himself, but um Like I said, I expect we're gonna get more of a sinner like performance from rude then we are going to get a tiapho like performance Yeah, rude's good at rallies.  He's he's a claycore guy. He's not gonna do anything You know, it's a hard court match. He's not gonna win Okay, well, how'd he get here? How'd he get here? He beat baritini pretty pretty nicely Rude will make this a long match. Yeah, that is what rude is going to be doing Make this long as long as possible And uh, you guys if you watch the semi-finals with el crés el crés look tired from the start You know, maybe he didn't break down physically. He didn't have to get a you know a medical time out on it But he didn't look fresh. I mean he was missing shots. He was Looking slower than usual.  I mean he was so so good rude Do you think el crés has a knee problem?   That's cool, man come back in five Uh, the miami final was kind of close. Yeah, well People are gonna look at the miami final right and go well el crés beat rude in miami. So el crés will be rude here The miami final el crés didn't play three five setters coming in That's the biggest the big difference right rude also um has you know miami Is it good as good to look at is like a oh well, that's what they look like on hardcore But I mean the first set was seven five it was close, you know if rude gets that first set We're talking about someone else now el crés did come in off two tough matches He beat catchmenovic and an epic and then he beat her catch in tie breaks So we're looking at a very similar situation here with the roads To the final but again best of three sets el crés didn't play again five setters all the way through um Like he has here It's a mud he's he's used a lot more gas to get to this stage And also best of five, you know the you know best of two best of five best of three best of five, you know big difference there too um And it was every day it was every other day. I mean sorry it was they did play every day that that is true but also if you play twice as much with one day apart it kind of Feels like you played every day, right? I mean it's if you that makes sense You play two hours every day or you play four hours every second day It evens out to be the same amount and again it probably evens it makes it more that you know He's played way more going into this final Even though he's had a day rest in between You know what I mean if you total the times um, and you know it could be uh At your harvard then it could be the you know the more way more than what he did in miami When did fedora plays last slam? Uh, wimbledon last year at wimby last year also that's showing the uh That is showing the uh the wheelchair uh singles the De Groot who I think is the goat of wheelchair Women's wheelchair tennis right because she's won the four slams calendar golden slam Last year. I think it was was that De Groot Who do I think will win? I said rude.  What a tournament this has been um This tournament has been really random which I guess people some people have hated and some people have liked This is the future right? This is what we're gonna get.  Yeah, I I yeah, I agree. I don't know how people could just write rude off so easily Elkers will finish the world number one year as world number one. I don't know how raffa can pass him. Um I think raffa's gonna be finishing number one personally I think raffa. I reckon raffa can finish his number one if elkre's wins today Elk res is it actually probably depends on today If elkre if rude wins today I think raffa can still be number one because rude has points to defend at the end of the year But if elkre's wins today, then raffa's gonna have to do something special to finish the year To get number one. Does that make sense? I think those three guys are the three because mevvedev and svara have all had points at the end of the year to defend um Rado khan is ranking uh 80 80 something 83 I think uh was the true final sin versus elkre's. I think it was um I mean some people argue that uh t rfo Elkre's was the final, you know, so I mean it's We don't know if this match turns out to be this epic five setter Uh, no, then that match was not the final. This is the final But yeah, I guess, you know people are gonna talk about that Uh and say that just like they did at the uh the french open when they said, you know Jocovice Nadal quarter final was the actual final In hindsight, you know whatever Unbelievable No, unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying Last time we had a random us final chilich nisha kori I would never have thought born would have tailed off as much as they did after that especially k Yeah, thank you, uh, the Smiths for the, for the, um, for the donation. Well, Chilich went on to make other finals. So he kind of, he replicated that by making, you know, Wimbledon, Australian Open Finals. Nishikori never made a final again, but he did make semi-finals here a couple of years ago, so he hasn't, I guess, he's been injured lately, which is probably why we haven't noticed him that much. But, uh, yeah, I mean, they, they got, they got a slam in the middle of the goat generation. I mean, they, they were, they were the most random final of the goat era. Uh, you bet it, uh, go away.  And me, where are you? Where's Dawn? Dawn, Dawn. Just, you need, you need to run your comments. Uh, can Svera play the age of your finals this year? Um, yes, because of the French Open Semis, he made a lot of points, but he will need to play well at the end of the year. He'll need to beat, he'll probably need to do, well, at Paris, which is worth a lot of points and maybe win another tournament just to kind of help him get to that point. But, um, the live ranking or the live race of the finals, he is currently number eight. So because of the French Open, he, he got a lot of points and thanks, like as luckily for Sverav, he doesn't, uh, you know, he didn't have to worry about people taking over him at Wimbledon. If Wimbledon had a count of points, Sverav would have had to do a lot more. But I think Sverav, he technically missed one tournament, uh, worth a lot of points. So Sverav might sneak into the age of your finals based on, uh, because of Wimbledon not being, he's probably the one of the lucky ones when Wimbledon, uh, with the Wimbledon stuff. Uh, such a pity, US Open didn't let Djokovic play. Yeah, I agree. I agree. Um, Root has a better first serve. Elcores has a better second serve. Yeah, serving is going to be crucial for both. We'll find out, and this is what, like, we'll find out very early on in the first five games. First thing I want to know, what's Elcores looking like? How's he looking? Fresh, tired, what's he look like? That's the first thing I want to know. Cause he has come out tight. He did come out tight against Tiafo. Also, I want to see Root's nerves. Well, how nervous is he? Elcores is going to be nervous too, but Root, I think legitimately thinks he can win today. Uh, and I, I mean, I picked him, right? So I think he does, he can too. But how does his nerves look? He's got the experience. He knows how to deal with this, this build up to a big fine. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. I'm from Portugal. They say that the final begins in 130 H's that true. Just subscribed by the way, you are awesome. Continue your great work. Thank you, uh, Silke for the nice words. I actually starts in about 20 minutes. So minus one hour from that starts in 20 minutes. But, uh, thank you for that. Yeah. Thanks for subscribing. Welcome to the channel. So yeah, so those are the first two things I'm going to, I'm going to, uh, I'm going to be watching first, you know, Elcores is tired. If he's tired or how he looks physically because he's played a lot and rude nerves, I don't think Elcores will be as nervous as rude because Elcores is probably going to be more focused on how tired he is, right? Or at least how he's energy.  Whereas rude, rude will probably be a little more nervous. And we've seen Elcores have slow starts, but I don't think it's because of nerves. I think Elcores has got nerves. I think he's fearless. Rude will be the nervous one because he is the one who has been here before. So that's the first two things I'm going to be keeping an eye on. And usually the way that we, the way that we notice that is if Elcores is not running around or if he's trying to hit winners off like the second shot, if he's trying to hit winners early, that means Elcores is probably in a bit of a tired mentality. We know that when a player is hurt, a player is tired. They try and go for winners really quick so they don't have to play long points, especially early in the match when they're just starting, you know, just getting out there. So I'm sure both that that's we're keeping on that for Elcores. If he's trying to go for winners in the first shot, that might be a problem and obviously the serving of rude, if he's got nerves might get affected too and how he looks with his ground strokes as well. Norway's last slam was in 1926. Queen was born crown. Thank you, uh, the Smiths for that. That's crazy. So it's the first. So he'll be the first grants Norwegian grand slam champion of the open era. Um, if he wins, isn't it? So I didn't realize it was actually a Norwegian champion back in the twenties. That's crazy. It was a hundred years ago. Um, talk about being tired, etc. I'm sure that these players do training for hours on that. They're professional athletes. They train. They do train a little, they do. They train. Yes, they do train. They're training, but you don't train for three, five setters in a row. Like Alcares is not going out there every day training. 10 sets a day to be ready for five setters three days. And you know what I mean? Of course they can. Of course, Alcares is probably the fittest player outside of Ravel, the fittest player on the tour. You know, he makes the comparisons around for what we make comparisons around for all the time because of his of that reason as well. But how like one cast for arrow and Alcares are not training for three, five setters in a row in a slam. You know what I mean? Like they train. Of course everybody trains, but that's this is a unique situation. What part of rude's game can hurt Alcares? Here's the defense getting everything back. That's what rude should be doing today. Getting everything back. I think he needs to be a little bit aggressive as well. Like, you know, not trying to be just reactive. I think he needs to be aggressive. Can't just let Alcares bully him as Alcares does to everybody else. But I think I think what we've seen with Alcares at times is when he's played super defensive players like you know, demon or in Barcelona earlier this year. Even even like Zverev at the French Open and Sina at times with we've seen and we've seen that he does sometimes have to play one more shot and he misses that shot. So rude's just got to get everything back.  Rude needs to pick up on his backhand. Look, I think rude's forehand is bigger better than his backhand, but he's backhand solid too. You know, Rude can hit backhand. Rafa is fitter now to Nadal. Played two, five sets to show up and true, but three and then a final woman. He didn't play them back to back. You know, I'm not we're not comparing Rafa's fitness to Alcares of fitness, but I'm just saying you play three, five setters in a row.  That is I mean, that's something else. Right? Oh, well, Nadal is not playing Davis Cup. No, no, no starts in about 15 minutes. Exactly. So let's get to the proper preview. All right. Let's get to this preview because these two have played before for two times in fact. So here is the quarterfinals to semi finals to final and Rude has lost two sets. So one set compared to Alcares playing two, five setters. We all know that Alcares have played way more tennis this week. Rude's played one, five setters Alcares is three. Again, all of these things are, you know, I think will be a factor. Maybe maybe we'll find out in a couple of hours and it will be like a nonissue, but five sets all the way from the fourth round onwards. He beat Sinner in five sets, saving match point. He beat Tiafo in five sets. I guess holding off the crowd to an extent, but Rude's won both his matches in straight sets, but Alcares is a different player to the guys that Rude has played. Rude has played two big servers and big hitters. Alcares, he's more of an all rounder. Let's talk about Casper Rude. He'll be world number two after this week. No matter what happens today, at least number two. 23 years old from Norway, he will be a six foot tall right-handed, 38 wins and 15 losses on the year. Three titles this year as well, nine career titles and his best wins are against Verev and Norrie. And Carlos Alcares, number four in the world. He'll be number two or one or two in the world after this. These guys are playing for that number one spot. 19 years old from Spain. He's six foot one, right-handed, 44 wins, nine losses on the year. Four titles to go with those wins, five career titles. 12 months ago, he had one title and his best wins against Djokovic Nadal back to back.  It's two zero in favor of Alcares and they played in Miami earlier this year, but that was a close match. It was a close first set. Rude could have won the first set. If he had won the first set, maybe we would have been talking about this match a little different. But that is, that is how things have played out. They played in Marbella last year, but I don't think we can look too much into that. I think that Miami match is the best comparison of what we might see today, at least in terms of court surface and conditions and all of that. But the difference being, again, Carlos Alcares has played three five set matches. I mean, who was the last player to play three five setters and win a trophy like win the slam? I'm trying to think maybe Federer play five five setters in Australia a few years ago. I don't remember. When was the last time someone played this many five setters to win a trophy? Everyone's gonna say Rafa, I'm expecting, but when, when did Rafa do that? So it wasn't Federer. Federer 2017. Did he do it then? I think Federer did it, right? He played two five setters and Nishikori was three. So Federer, right? Was the last one, but that was only three. He played three. So Alcares might have to play four. Do one better. Has anyone played four five setters to win it, win the slam? Is that, is that a thing that's happened? Ed Bergen 92. Okay. Yeah. Federer did it in 2007. I'll just check then. Yeah. 2017 Federer. He beat Nishikori in fourth round in the fourth round in five sets. He beat. Hey, thank you, Khalida for the, for the two. Greatest of all times. And thank you, Robert for the 20. Appreciate that, mate. Thanks for the support. You've been very generous this tournament, so thank you so much for the continued support. Yeah. I got rid of the spam eyes at them. Just chill. Just chill. It's going to be one of them days.  Um, yeah. So, um, yeah. And then Federer beat beat. Sorry, going back to what I was saying about Federer. So Federer then beat Vavrinca in three in five sets in the semis and then reference five in the final. But, um, has anyone played four or five setters to win the, the, win a slam? I mean, that might be something that Elkres or at least a three, sorry, three, possibly four. That is mentioned that Elkres wins in five sets. He will become the fourth player to play for five setters in a, he'll be the, he'll be the first player to win four or five setters in a row to win a slam. There you go. Thank you, Dean. Appreciate that. Yeah. I mean, I can't think of anybody who would have done that at all. Um, of course people were saying Elkres injured before the game so that he has an excuse to lose. No. Come on now. I picked rude, not because Elkres is injured according to whoever said that. Um, yeah, four players have won a grand slam losing eight sets. Okay. Interesting. Um, when does the final start? Final starts in about 10, 15 minutes. It's happening. Oh my God. Okay. It's happening. Everybody sit calm. What's the procedure everyone? What's the procedure? Stay f***ed down. It's happening. It's happening. Again, thank you so much everybody for joining us. Uh, we're still just going through questions. Setting this thing up. Setting this thing up. Is there, there's no back out of the top 10 now? No. No back is number seven in the world. Uh, crowd favorite is going to be Elkres. Yeah, Elkres will probably get the crowd, uh, on his side just because he's, uh, more exciting and I guess players, uh, what has happened? Hey, thank you linear for the five gifted. Appreciate that. Thank you so much. Appreciate the five gifted. Congratulations to the people who got the, uh, there you go. Three, five people got, uh, memberships. Thank you for that. Appreciate it. Uh, did I see the, uh, the race as in like the, uh, what do you mean the race for the number one spot or the race to the finals of the ATB finals? The only way Djokovic can't, but we'll, we'll fall out of the top 10 is if he doesn't, uh, if he's not allowed able to play Paris or the ATB finals. So all the Djokovic, uh, you know, all the Djokovic haters, uh, it ain't going to happen anytime soon. He's going to have to not play at the end of the, at the end of the year. So I guess if you're, uh, you're not a fan of Djokovic, that's what you'll be asking for now. It's going to rain. Uh, I've talked about this already. Let's go to the weather check. So right now here we are. This is the weather in New York right now. This big blotch of, uh, of green of sludge is coming towards the stadium. We're here. And this is on the way. This is going to be an indoor match. Whoops, where'd it go? So at about 430, which is probably going to be halfway through them, just when we start, because they're going to start probably a little bit later than usual just because, uh, it starts at six, but so it starts at, um, 4pm local time, but it'll probably be doing the ceremony and stuff. So that'll close the roof. So this will be an indoor match. Uh, because if they start the roof, uh, if they start with a shut roof, there you go. So for 435, it is going to rain. So they will have the, it might start with the open roof, but, um, it might start with, pardon me, it might start with the open roof, but they will probably shut it.  They can't open and close the roof willy-nilly during the match.  That is protocol. Uh, so if they open it, it might be open for about 10 minutes and then they'll shut it, but they probably won't even open it. They know that's coming. Um, so there you go. So the roof indoor final, indoor final on the cards. Well, I thank you, uh, dynamic for becoming a member, appreciate that. Thanks for coming to tier two. Thank you so much. Appreciate that. Uh, the match is going to start in about 10 minutes. The players are going to come out in 10 minutes. Hold on to your butts. 10 minutes. 10 minutes away. Man, I'm so excited for this. It's, I mean, this doesn't feel like a final because we're not used to seeing the familiar names, but this is what we're going to be getting over the next 10 years. So I'm excited for the start of a new era, a new era of champion right now. This is the start of a new era. I'm here for a five set. This is actual. Yep. I think all of us are right. All of us are here for five sets. Keep calm. So, okay, let's just break this down over the lot. We've broken it down over the last hour. Let's just recap on what we've broken down. So we have Elcraz played more time on court than rude. We know that that's a fact. And if it's not a fact, then I mean, that's, it must be, it must be close, right? You are the goat cam. Thanks so much for all of your tireless commentating. Hey, thank you. Penelope for the eight bucks. Thanks for the nice words. I appreciate that. So he's got to get tired eventually, right? Elcraz has got to get tired eventually. It's today the day. Now, if Elcraz is going to win this match, I think he's going to have to win in straight sets or at least a quick four. I think the longer this match goes on, look, he's got to break eventually. Sure. His body's got to break eventually with the added nerves, you know, the added the added pressure of what we're dealing with with a slam. I mean, it's got it surely, right? There's got to be a breaking point. Now cats. Roots also going to be nervous. I think the first set is more crucial for rude. I think rude has to win the first set. He wins the first set and if Elcraz doesn't look as tired as you'd expect, maybe he's looking fresh. If rude wins that first set, then it's even. I think then it's dead even. If Elcraz wins the first set and depending on how he wins the first set, like he could win the first set in 20 minutes that could be or 30 minutes and we're like, whoa, watch out that. I mean, that's the first set will be crucial for both guys for different reasons. But if rude can play a long first set like what Tiafoe did and even what Sinner kind of did in his match, even though it was a long first set. So not Sinner Tiafoe. A long first set will help rude in the long term, but he has even if he loses the first set, as long as it goes for an hour, he might be able to cash in on that down the track. It might just help him win, you know, maybe in four down the track or five down the track. So that's where that's where my brain is at. I'm like, okay, well, if the first set goes to rude, ideal for rude. And by the way, the roof is shut. They're not opening it. So the roof is going to be shut. But if they play, sorry, if they have if Elcraz wins the first set quick, that's the best thing for Elcraz. A quick six, you know, six to 30 minute first set would be ideal for Elcraz. A long tie break set win for rude would be the ideal first set for him. So both guys, you know what I mean? So that's that's sort of where my brain is at in terms of this first set and what needs to happen. I guess, or what what players will be like what these guys want to happen. Best case scenario, right? And then all those things in the middle, anything, you know, anything could happen in the middle. But but I think the most important part is if rude wins the first set to keep the foot on the gas, because that's what seemed to have happened with TFO. He won the first set and then he's like, I'm sweet. And then all of a sudden he's down to such a one. So he needs to keep his his foot on the gas route. And we know rude has led up in fourth sets this week. You know, he led up against Hashinov. He led up against Baratini. He led up against Mutay. He was up to such a love and just thought I'm winning. And then all of a sudden he's in a fourth set and we know Elcraz. You don't want to take your foot off the gas.  Um, one minute announcement. That's it. That's it. That's it. Fill up your drinks. Grab your drinks. Grab your coffees. Grab your food, snacks, everything. They're about to see the National Anthem. And I'm expecting they're going to have a one minute silence, right? For for today. I subscribed to slings. There's Jessica. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. They both will be fighting. Yep. Yep. Like I said, the first two, the things I want to know the like I want to I want to focus on first. How what is the fitness gas tank of Elcraz? How does he look physically? And how nervous does rude look? Mentally like so it's kind of like we're looking into the brain of rude and the body of Elcraz. That's what we're trying to figure out the first set or at least the first half of a set. Look, you can bet on whatever you want. I'm not taking responsibility for anyone's bets because I'm just a random guy on the internet. If you bet, if you listen, like maybe I know tennis more than the average person, but I'm not I am not you bet responsibly. It's your money. You do what you want to do with it. All I'm doing is putting out all the information you make out what you want. I am not liable for your losses, but I am picking rude. So, you know, do what that would do. What do what you will with that? Um, I don't have a secret thing. I mean, today's look, the U.S. Open for the entire tournament has been random. Right? I mean, we didn't think this was going to happen. How many people were saying a week ago, 23 loading? You know, no, no disrespect for the Rafa fans because, you know, they were hopeful for that. But who would have thought Tiafa was going to be Rafa? No, I mean, it's been the randomest tournament and we're finishing with a random tournament. So why not finish with a random final and a random result? Then that's sort of where I'm going. I'm like, you know what? I'm done. I'm done. I'm done predicting. I think I'm going to retire from predictions after this. All right. So we've got, oh, this is a nice rendition of the, uh, of the, um, of the, uh, the anthem. Let me listen to it. Oh, nice. Nice. Good treat. I like this. This is a nice, like a nice, um, acoustic version of the, uh, of, uh, the American, it's not the national anthem, is it? Is it unveiling the flag? Oh, yeah. Who's singing the anthem? It's, um, it's a four piece band and they've all got guitars. Two guys and two girls. I'm not sure if they're who they are, but someone in the chat will be able to help us. It's a national anthem. Yeah. So I'm, I'm, I'm so terrible with that because there's the other song that's like also sung. It's a nice, it's a nice different, it's a different, uh, arrangement for the national anthem. It's nice. It's more of a song, you know, rather than being a, like a belting anthem. Yeah. Exactly. Just a year. I know that it is, which, uh, was a sad day for a lot of people here. It's a big day. Star Spangled Banner then is that the one that I, is that the national anthem or is that the other one? What's, there's another one. Can't remember. Can't remember the other one. But there's a couple of songs. That was a nice. That was a nice different version of the anthem. I like it. Thoughts of Shriantek Jabur match wasn't there to watch it. Uh, Shriantek played ridiculously good in the first set. And then Jabur came back, probably should have been three sets if Jabur had just held a nerve in that tiebreak. But what a match. It was crazy from Shriantek. Final Shriantek is a different beast. Oh, speaking of which, I've got to write, I've got to watch Dragon Ball Z today. Um, also I watched Cobra Kai yesterday cause I had time. I just, what I binge watched it. Anyone seen season five of Cobra Kai? Not bad. It's not bad. And then I started watching Dune, but then I fell asleep cause I was really tired. Kasper will have to win, we'll have to win it. Carlos won't give it to him. Yeah. A million percent. Carlos Alcares will not give Kasper Ruder Trophy. This will be a hard fought battle and the winner will have to win it.  There won't be a choke. There won't be any of that thing. It'll be a, the winner will have to win this. Not rely on the loser to lose it. If that makes any sense whatsoever. No back better to think of, okay, well, Oh, what's happening? Players are on, players are coming down. Call in second. All right. Kasper Rud talking to Patrick McEnroe. Hey, thank you Fred for the 10. All right, Rud looking, looking composed. I don't think Rud looks nervous. He looks all right. He looks, looks chill, but maybe he's got a good poker face. The last Grand Saint final of the year. Let's go. Yep. Let's enjoy it. Let's enjoy it. By the way, I just want to say thank you everybody who has donated or gifted members and all that stuff and everyone who subscribed. Thank you so much. We will be turning off all alerts for the final just so I can get every point done so that you guys don't miss a point and we don't get interrupted or anything like that. You could donate. We'll play them throughout the match, but we won't play them. There won't be live. So if you do donate, the alerts won't happen instantly. If that makes sense, it'll be delayed. In fact, like I said, just you can all just, just sit back and watch. If you want to donate, you can, but you don't have to. You never do. You never, never will. All right. Alcaraz. He is looking chill. How are you feeling? There's no time to be tired. Alcaraz for the win Cam, my friend. No worries. Muhammad appreciate the two. All right. Alcaraz says, look, I have no time to be tired. I have no time to be tired. The dude is a machine. He's a, he's a, he's different. He's built different. He's built different. Thank you. David appreciate it. Mate, they're the final Grand Slam match of the year. This one is crazy. Some of the people is the final time you watch tennis this year. What's up Derek? Welcome back. Everybody stay calm. That's it. All the way from Arizona. Welcome back. All right. Players on court. They're walking out Alcaraz. Getting a lot of love from the crowd. I think Alcaraz will get more love from the crowd just because he has more of an exciting brand of tennis and the crowd, I think respond better to a more, uh, are going to be more excited for the play of Alcaraz. Sounds like Cam, no time to be tired. Yeah. There's no time to be tired. Who has time for tiredness? Okay. We're almost ready to go. Thank you again. Everybody for joining us. Don't forget to like and subscribe if you haven't already. We have about five minutes until the match will officially start. It is under the roof. It is under the roof of this stadium. So, uh, I guess let me know in the chat. What do you think's going to happen? Who do you think's going to win? Let me know in the chat. I'm going out. I'm going rude. I'm going rude. I'm going the upset. I'm going the underdog. You know, I'm back in the dog. I just, I've been back in the dog for the entire week pretty much, uh, with mixed results, but I'm going with Alcaraz. I'm going with, I'm going with rude. I think rude's experience and also his fitness levels might play a part down the track. But you let me know who you think. Carlson three, Carlson four, Alcaraz. Okay. Alcaraz. Why under the roof? Uh, it's raining. It is raining outside. It's raining in New York. Uh, rude in five. All right. Rude is, uh, very good under the roof. He beat Baratini under the roof. True SJ. That is true. All ESPN commentators are going with Alcaraz, uh, to win, but I have my doubts. Yeah. Look, I think anything could happen today. I just think that that's, that's the way this U.S. Open's been. So anything could happen. The random slam members, they all get ready to. Get ready to take the photos. Ready to go. Um, Alcaraz in five, rude in four long sets. Alcaraz in four. Remember, Alcaraz does not want a tie break. So at this event, so if, um, if Alcaraz, sorry, rude can make him play tie breaks, that might help rude and rude has played a few tie breaks. This, uh, this tournament, hasn't he with mixed results, but still he's won more than Alcaraz. How many finals ahead with these two? Well, look, probably a French open, big French open final. Eventually, I'm sure that's going to happen. Um, yeah. I predict that either rude or Alcaraz will win. Paul, that is, uh, mate, you might be right. You might be right. You might be right. Ah, good to see spammers are here on time. Perfect timing. Just chill. Um, it's very to win 10 slams. Uh, I don't know about that to have two teenagers in two years would be awesome. Um, all you mean is in like, right? It kind of last year and now Alcaraz this year. Yeah, it'd be pretty epic. And by the way, Rafa fans, if you're here lurking in the shadows, um, just prepare yourselves because if Alcaraz wins, the comparisons come back just like at the start of the year in the French open, Alcaraz was getting compared to Rafa like he was Rafa's son. So just prepare yourselves. If Alcaraz wins, every person in their dog is going to talk about if Alcaraz is the net is Rafa. And I know people again, I know Rafa fans hate that or some of them hate that. They hate it. So, um, yeah, I barrel doesn't like the comparisons. Yeah, it's going to happen. It's inevitable because he's going to do when he's first slam as a teenager. That's what Rafa did and blah, blah, blah. In fact, he's going to be world number one earlier than Rafa, but then again, he didn't have to play Federer. So that's, you know, the Federer's held away. How did it hold Rafa off? I guess. Uh, yes. So just again, I want to just make a trigger warning for the Rafa fans. If Alcaraz wins, don't, uh, don't go on social media because you're probably going to start seeing all these comparisons between the two that I know Rafa fans don't enjoy. Cause I mean, it's the easiest to compare them, right? They're both Spanish. They're both exciting young players. The last young exciting young, the exciting young player was Rafa. You know, no way was exciting, but not the same way as Rafa was when he came into the tournament. Djokovic was always like, um, interesting to watch. And really, you know, he was a Djokovic at the start of his career wasn't as what Djokovic is now, but Rafa when he started was a beast from the, from the get go. Uh, why would anyone get bothered by comparisons? Look, it happens. People don't like people getting compared to their favorite. You know, that's fine. Some people like Alcaraz is a Rafa fans like Alcaraz, but some don't. Some are like, no, Rafa is Rafa and no one compares and that's fine. That's fine too. Uh, rude one against Alcaraz in Hurlington and an exhibition that is on the grass. Yeah, that's, yeah, that's interesting. I don't know if, uh, Alcaraz is really bothered by that, but hey, something to consider. Add that to the mix. A lot of Rafa fans in the chat like Alcaraz. Yeah. Will this be a marathon? I expect so. I expect this to be a marathon. Yes. Players warming up by the way. Rude will be serving first. Who got the win? Who picked the win? Uh, who's going to win the toss because rude is serving. Uh, have I thought about making Alcaraz emoji? We're going to redo all the emojis after the tour after the U.S. Because, um, we have to, uh, we're going to revamp the emojis because there's a lot of, we got a lot of extra ones I can make. So yeah, I'm going to write that down. So I don't forget, but yeah, we'll do, uh, we'll redo the emojis, adding Alcaraz and all the new guys and girls as well. Sviantech will put a bunch of new ones in for the members to, uh, to use. So if you want to use the emojis, you can grab, uh, use the, uh, use them with the members as a member. Who is the fourth goat, uh, Serena? Well, she's not the fourth. She's the number one, but she's the fourth. She's on the, you got the, uh, the three men and the, and the, and Serena. Um, again, I'm going to turn off the, uh, the donation. So if you do donate, just know that I, I will play it later. Um, but yeah, if you don't see me, I'm listening and watching on the lurking says Deb, no worries. No worries, Deb. Um, do you know the Pledge of Allegiance of America? Uh, no, because I'm Australian. The tennis route and Mount Rushmore exactly Gilbert, the Mount Rushmore of tennis, Serena, Federa, Djokovic Nadal. That's the, that's the Mount Rushmore. If you want to go down that path, um, coach his box power, man, maybe Robert's always lurking. Okay, everybody. What's the procedure? The US Open final has started. We are about to start this final, the final slam of the year and it's between two unlikely finalists or at least unlikely in, uh, this year. We didn't think this was going to happen this year. Alcarez versus Rude in the US Open final. Winner takes all winners. Number one, losers. Number two, literally like literally in the rankings. The best player on the planet will be decided today and the second best will be the runner up. Whatever happens, first time in history, that's happened that the, the finals of a Grand Slam are playing for the number one ranking. That is the first time ever. Uh, Alcarez is playing for the youngest world number one of all time. He is also playing as a teenage champion, which is rare in this day and age and Kasparud is playing for the first Norwegian number one, the first Norwegian in the open era to win a slam. Also, the biggest jump to get to world number one after being number seven this week. Here we go. Who's going to win? You tell me. I've got rude just because I think we're going to get random final. The finish is going to be as random as the whole tournament and it's 15 love. Rude wins the first point. Let's see how the boys look in the start of this at the start of this match. Every point, we're going to go through every single point. So stay tuned and hold on to your butts. Here we go. Second serve now. Sorry, first serve now from rude to the back end of Alcarez.  So we're looking at the nerves of Kasparud. How nervous does he look? Cause I think he legit feels like today is the day he could win his first slam as long as he doesn't have to play Rafa as he joked to the French and Alcarez. How does he look physically? That is the what we're trying to find out early and the unforced air account will determine kind of show which which is which for now from rude to the back end of Alcarez back in our rude into the front of Alcarez to the back end of rude rude hits it too long 30 15. Also the serving of both guys if they're hurting or that's nervous will be affected. So we'll keep an eye on that as well. Also shout to everybody over on Twitch. I know you're there. I can see you all over there. Well, at least I can see the people that follow right 30 15 as rude serves down the T the front of Alcarez for never rude is long bad error 30 all 30 all rude's got all these first serves in but he's not getting the free points not just yet first nervous moment for rude. How does he respond? Rubber the serve into the net second serve halfway up the net that serve second serve down the middle to the back end of Alcarez good return rude hits it wide break point first game Alcarez attack the second serve and now Alcarez has break point first game break point in the first game that's not great if you're hitting a second serves like that.  If you Casper rude he serves out wide a fault second serve he hasn't won a second serve point yet second serve four minutes in he serves a double fault oh that was a big second serve that's a nervous second serve advantage Alcarez just over hit that trying to go for a little too much rude I think he's feeling the pinch especially because Alcarez hit smacked one of his returns or one of his second serves away good serve there the back end of Alcarez find out from rude into the front of Alcarez on the stretch route down the line Alcarez back end on the stretch again rude hits it to the front of Alcarez down the line now to the front of rude back and now Alcarez into the net man rude is you can tell Alcarez has come out here swinging he's like all right it's like Conor McGregor in a first round of a UFC bout he's just like I'm going to knock your head off in the first round and rude's like holy shit Jesus keep going on let me hit some get some shots in back at doce as rude serves down the T the back end of Alcarez for now rude into the back of Alcarez pass rude with a volley is not good enough Alcarez with a pass again rude with a half volley down the line Alcarez with a pass rude with a volley again Alcarez the back end lob rude smash Alcarez gets it volley odds in the net from Alcarez rude survives the first epic rally this is going to be on finish TV and rude's camper on their feet they're going nuts the first epic point and rude won it we saw Alcarez winning a lot of those points against sinner and against tfo rude underrated at the net I mean it was kind of just like trying to fend himself at the net but he can volley rude if he has to first service a fault second serve second serve out wide the back end of Alcarez and Alcarez hits it out rude first game six minutes all right first game rude but Alcarez he's come out with the he's come out and chose violence all right he chose violence today Alcarez he chose violence now let's see what rude can do so interesting also what Alcarez can do Alcarez has spent two extra hours on court this tournament 20 hours and 20 and a half hours to rude's 18 and a half so it might not matter at the start it might not matter at the start whether or not Alcarez is titled up because it's more what happens in the three hour mark like though those two hours will make a difference in like the three hour mark if we don't get to three or two and a half hours three hours if we don't get there then Alcarez will probably win this in straight sets but I think once we get to three hours that's when those extra two hours on court will possibly unless Alcarez is just some sort of a freak that's built different and they put him in a lab and you know he's just not built of the same things as a normal person he's no human you know we'll find out back end of back end as rude to the back end of Alcarez down the line of the font of rude on the stretch Alcarez on the attack and rude hits it out Alcarez again being aggressive and we expect this you know Alcarez being the aggressive player is the bigger hitter rude is the more defensive counter puncher all right 15 love and the rude camp has been here before but so is one cars for arrow yeah it was actually in the final of his tournament 19 years ago cause Alcarez as coach so he has been on the big stage in New York he lost to Andy Roddick that day 15 love Carlos Schwarzenegger that's so good as rude hits a backhand down the line and it's in yes unbelievable what a shot looked like it was out all right Alcarez come to the net and rude passes him down the line with a backhand where's that guy that said back he doesn't have a backhand and that was I mean that that was okay that that backhand was all right 15 all 15 all Alcarez serves down the tier the back end of rude Alcarez comes in with a swinging volley but it's in the net Oh no maybe there are a little little nerves through Alcarez so I mean it's his first final his first grand Sam final maybe he's also feeling a little bit of nerves it'd be only normal right we know he's a robot but 15 30 Alcarez serves a fault second serve second serve Alcarez out wide the back end of rude who goes down the line and hits a winner wow rude went after the second serve and he got the point 15 40 15 40 lovely return there from rude right in the corner two backhands in this game down the line backhand winners from rude the shot he's gonna have to use today keep Alcarez off balance 15 40 what can Alcarez do under pressure Alcarez serves out wide the front of rude and rude in the net good serve from Alcarez 30 40 30 40 that both had two break points to start this match 30 40 Alcarez looking a little nervous as he serves a good backhand out from rude but it goes in the net just good serving Alcarez two big first serves under pressure that that is champion stuff 128 mile an hour right at the body 11 minutes played close first games rude looking a little bit they're both look nervous and of course they are there's a lot on the line lot at stake as Alcarez hits an ace bang first ace of the day unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable advantage unbelievable advantage Alcarez as Alcarez serves to level things up here in the first set he serves out wide the back end of rude for Alcarez in the open court can't be got by rude Alcarez saves it with four big first serves and Alcarez levels things up one one in the first alright here we go one one now the nerves I guess for both guys depending on the scoreline if it gets to like two all three all probably three all that's when the nerve should have settled they should feel comfortable in this set or at least feel like the anxiety should leave back and now as rude hits a volley all Alcarez hits a tape and rude can't control it love 15 love 15 not a bad approach from rude but probably a little bit too short in the court and Alcarez had a crack and just didn't hit the top of the tape and just deviated a little bit enough that rude couldn't quite adjust love 15 so don't see from rude good serve and he comes in with a swinging volume puts it out yuck great serve but then miss the Mr swinging volley love 30 a chance for Alcarez to get that break love 30 love 30 serving the net from rude second serve second serve Alcarez has been attacking that second serve already let's see what he does second serve in the back end of Alcarez for now from rude down the line of the back end of Alcarez into the form of rude again to the back end of Alcarez that hit the tape goes into the back end of rude back and now Alcarez into the form of rude down the line of the form of Alcarez on the stretch rude in trouble with a slice as Alcarez at the back end of the court rude slices down the line Alcarez volleys and wow what a shot he puts away the volley and he's got three break points Carlos Alcarez what a shot from Alcarez as soon as you're running side to side Alcarez has got your beat I mean unless he makes an error which doesn't happen very often once he's got you on the run good luck good luck love 40 as rude serves Alcarez has won the last seven points in a row from fifteen forty down to now second serve second serve rude serves to the back end of Alcarez back in our rude into the front of Alcarez who puts it wide oof Alcarez went for that one fifteen forty but as you so he should I mean love 40 why not go for a massive forehand even if you hit it out by a mile fifteen forty serve is another fault by rude another fault from rude first serve is not as good at the moment second serve into the front of Alcarez find our rude is wide Alcarez breaks Alcarez breaks to one good start from Alcarez and one cast for error looks nervous he's like we've got that one alright Alcarez breaks first games sense of questions thank you Jane by the way it looks like Casper rude is tall than Alcarez that's didn't didn't see that we should sponsor can to go to Indian Wells there that'd be fun maybe I'll go there eventually their first blood to Alcarez that's it good luck to rude if he doesn't try attacking now it'll be the Miami final again well remember it's best to five sets so there's always time in a men's final who gives rude such trivial draws what do you mean he was in the top half of the draw just because he was in Rafa section he didn't have to play Rafa I mean I don't think he gets an easy draw rude he'd be Baratini who's very good Hashinov was random but not rude rude made his way to this final with a draw I mean it's not his fault since he passed him ever to have lost Alcarez serving better yeah right now Alcarez is winning the serves but just I mean look we've still had break points either way every game in this match has had break points so if that trend continues break straight back I mean let's see what Alcarez looks here let's see what he looks like here again thank you so much everybody liking subscribing we're almost at a thousand likes already so thank you so much we're just getting started so this could be I mean I don't know if it's going to be the biggest final we've ever done but it could be the biggest US open match of the tournament and it should be because the final you'd hope but depends on the score so thank you everybody we're almost at a thousand likes already so appreciate the love as we're going to return there from rude and Alcarez puts away the volley Alcarez getting more first serves in at the moment than rude and that's proving a big difference 15 love Rick oh look at that we've got Jerry Seinfeld we've got Rick Astley we've got John Bon Jovi in the house I mean all right what a random group of people and a bunch of other people I don't even know so there you go I know those three I don't know the others were as we're to find out from Alcarez in the find of rude rude hits it out 30 15 I'm sorry 30 love 30 love yeah Rick rolled in we've got Rick rolled in real life the US Open just got Rick rolled all right rude is lost only one of the last 11 points service into the back end and that's a fault all right the first little chance here that Alcarez has missed the first serve I mean hasn't is the first for ages as he serves now why the phone of rude for now crazz down the line of the back of rude on the slice Alcarez with a half volley rude gets there Alcarez with a pass and rude puts away the volley what running this is going to be what a rally and rude gets it 30 15 Alcarez almost stole that as he has so many times this week but rude kept his composure that half Alcarez that half volley dropshot what is that lucky rude was awake Christy Brinkley who's that Anna Windsor the fashion oh she there as well she's usually watching Serena isn't she 30 15 served the back and slice of rude into the form of Alcarez rude with the back and slice again Alcarez comes with a drop shot but it's in the net all right Alcarez just getting a bit cutesy with the drop shot now we're actually kind of like the rest of the other plays he's played Alcarez rude is quick rude is quick I would maybe say rude is a little quicker than than Tiafo a little bit 30 all rude I mean probably is he quicker than Sinner maybe would you let me know the chat what do you reckon who's the quickest out of those three guys Sinner Alcarez Sinner rude or Tiafo 30 all here is going to find Alcarez down the line find Alcarez from rude in the open court Alcarez on trouble and it goes wide Alcarez let the whole court open had to hit a winner or lose the point and he lost the point 30 40 rude Sinner definitely the fastest okay Sinner might have the best court coverage of the bunch which then maybe you know maybe adds to that some are saying rude Tiafo was the quickest okay it's very even like they're very good they're all very quick chance to break back serve into the back end of rude find Alcarez drop shot rude runs runs runs gets there Alcarez passes down the line that was a good drop shot rude still got there though he's still got there back at deuce yeah Diminos the quickest but we're not I mean Diminos Diminos not hasn't played Alcarez this this week rude definitely quicker than Tiafo okay I mean look right deuce as Alcarez saves the break point four games to start we've had four break break break points in each one so this has been a could it easily been three love one guy three love the other two all one all like it's yeah very very evenly mashed at the moment second serve Alcarez the font of rude who hits it in the net can't be given those three points away Alcarez gets to advantage advantage Alcarez advantage tries to get to three one in the first set here he serves down the T rude just gets it back for an Alcarez is too good and Alcarez survives again and Alcarez is getting he's got a smile on his face now he's like alright I feel good now Alcarez is feeling good the scores looking good three one three one Alcarez is looking good 22 minutes in but right now we've had four games with breakpoints in each not a spare seat in the house except for the one over there but that's this one three one Christie Brinkley was married to Billy Joel okay I I'm not really up to date with that but I don't take your word for it I don't know who I know Billy Joel is the guy he's the piano man right three one rude serves out wide the find and it's a let feel like rude has to hold on to this game otherwise this set might disappear pretty quickly Alcarez off to the better start Alcarez not being broken is the difference could have been broken but he's come up clutch three one serve to the back and Alcarez back and a rude into the back and of Alcarez the find of rude back and Alcarez into the back and of rude but Alcarez hits it long Christie Brinkley was a supermodel oh okay she was an 80s supermodel fair enough the the name sounds familiar but I I mean I'm pretty pretty dumb was a famous model in sports illustrated cover three times there you go learn something new so she was like the I don't know who's a supermodel now who's a super I don't even know supermodels now so she was a yeah an 80 supermodel apparently and she was in uptown girl okay back and returned out of the backing of rude down the line good shot Alcarez gets there but it's in the net 30 love Gigi her dad did oh yeah she's a is she isn't Justin Bieber's girlfriend a supermodel I mean I was going to say the Kardashians but they're not supermodels they're just super famous okay well she's there I wouldn't know if they show her on the screen I don't know who she is so I guess if I see someone who looks like a supermodel I'll tell you that it's her I guess 30 love slice from rude into the fine of Alcarez into the slice again of rude Alcarez in control with a forehand but he hits the fine long and Alcarez is making some weird errors at times it's sort of over hitting I guess when you're up 3-1 you can kind of have a bit of a bit of a free swing so I've had five winners sorry four winners from rude four five errors six winners Alcarez six errors so both guys are both guys are making their fair share of winners and errors bit streaky if we get a good serve there and that's the easiest game of the match as that ball goes wide rude stays close first game that we haven't had a break point in it alright Tom Brady's wife is a supermodel oh okay while we're talking about supermodels I don't know we're trying to figure out who people are in the crowd apparently there's a supermodel alright I was asking some questions isn't Justin Bieber a supermodel I don't think so I think he's just a singer I really like them both yeah yeah so look look I guess the summary of the first five games has been and 26 minutes played which is a good thing for Casper rude making a long match I guess what we could say is both players are slightly nervous Alcarez is just serving better and that's why he has the break and rude that's why rude got broken because Alcarez is playing a little bit I'm sorry Alcarez is serving a bit better you know Alcarez was down break points he served his way out of it rude was down break points and he couldn't so I think that's really the summary so far in terms of styles of game we're they're doing exactly what we expected Ruth playing a lot of defense but also when he has a chance goes after it Alcarez is going all out because that's Alcarez but the serving is slightly better from Alcarez and that's why he's got the break and he's winning still a lot more tennis to go though I mean this is the first set but again look at the look at the time that is going to be possibly a factor in the end down the track maybe I don't know first set need I mean the first set is going to be crucial for route if he's going to make anything happen yeah Billy Joel is a singer right he's a piano man the piano man right I mean I know that I know he's the piano man all right Alcarez to serve three two he has the break break as he serves a fault second serve second serve Alcarez route standing so far back on the second serve as Alcarez kicks it to the forehand of of route back and Alcarez the font of route the back hand of Alcarez for enough from route again to the back of Alcarez route attacking at the moment with another forehand into the back of Alcarez back in our route down the middle Alcarez on the attack now route in trouble as rude gets that one Alcarez with the forehand to the back of of route and Alcarez volleys it away nice volley from Carlos Alcarez 15 love 15 love rude was playing well until he hit that back hand down the line that went way too central and that gave Alcarez a chance to start attacking back it's a thing with Alcarez the margins are so small you know you make one bad shot he'll get you you know you can't afford to hit anything short or anything too central you have to keep Alcarez the back the moment you give him a half a chance to get back in the rally he'll take it as he did then second serve again 15 love Alcarez 15 love serve to the back and of rude back and now Alcarez to the slice of rude goes into the front of Alcarez and Alcarez sprays it wide 15 all 15 all it's a closed roof because it's raining in New York so indoor match Alcarez hit nine unforced there from rude to Alcarez spraying the ball a lot more but he's being more aggressive so you'd expect him to hit more errors with the game that he's playing 15 all serve the font of rude what find out from Alcarez to the back and slice of rude find out from Alcarez again to the back and of rude sliced as Alcarez comes in with a volley again puts it away man he is starting to read rude slice rude slice back and is not not an aggressive it's a defensive shot it's a super defensive shot has a little bit of air on it and Alcarez read the play perfectly and he's starting to come to the net starting to attack a little bit more 30 15 serve into the back end of rude is a let 30 15 as rude returns a back end into the font of Alcarez goes down the line rude on the stretch of the four-hand cross-court goes wide 40 15 and the really big thing at the moment is Alcarez has just hit more first he's just hit more first serves in and that's why he's that's why he's not broken like rude just getting those first serves in when it matters getting those setting up the point might not be getting aces but he is setting up the point with that first serve let's see what happens here second serve second serve Alcarez goes the font of rude for now Alcarez down the line the back out to the font of rude back in Alcarez on the stretch in the net so if you got oh by the way a thousand likes thank you so much everybody you can see that thank you for this showing love um if uh you don't have to hit aces to be a good serve right you don't even have to hit unreturnable serves to be a good serve as long as your first serve is aggressive enough that you can then hit a good forehand or hit a good backhand and hit a good volley or whatever the first serve doesn't have to be a winner it just has to set you up for the next shot as he hits an ace as I talk bang that's his second ace of the day four two Elkras so yeah so getting first serves in it doesn't have to be an ace it just has to be a good uh set up shot for your forehand or backhand which is what it has been for Elkras because Rude isn't able to get back the back to return or at least not get an effective return okay let's get back to it Rude down a break camp talks a lot I mean I have no choice it'd be boring if I sat here and watched tenors and not told you told you what was happening sitting in silence isn't really my job serve in the backhand and that goes long from Elkras Rude gets away without second serve 15 love 15 love as Rude serves a fault again second serve second serve 33 minutes in as Rude serves down the T good second serve Elkras gets it find our Rude into the backhand of Elkras Rude's with a forehand into the backhand of Elkras who puts it wide Rude was a little Elkras was a little bit out of position there 30 love Elkras hits it wide I say Rude probably 30 love Elkras is taking a little extra time here 30 love as Rude serves a let 30 love serve to the backhand as a fault second serve second serve now why the find of Elkras and Elkras hits it wide again more errors in this game for Elkras and 40 love I guess he's so confident on his own service I don't need a double break so he's going a little bit more aggressive Elkras but that also could be something for another reason why he'd be going more aggressive can anyone let me know in the chat what that might be I know I've said it like 10 times 40 love and I don't want to say it again because but why why would he be hitting errors do you reckon why would he be playing so aggressive Elkras 40 love second serve into the backhand of Elkras and then for some reason Rude went with a tweener I mean I don't know why he went for the tweener that's kind of weird 40 15 not sure guess Elkras hit a great return and Rude's just like it was a terrible tweener I mean Nick Karras would be appalled I'm sure Nick's going to like comment on that and say you're not that guy you're not that guy pal you're not that guy serve out wide is a fault again second serve Rude his first ever since he's gone down second serve into the fort of Elkras Elkras in the net for three nobody saw that it's all right nobody saw that nobody's here anyway it's all right nobody saw that for three Elkras making I've forgotten how to drink so we've got a lot of people here let me know the chat who where

Dubai Boston Seattle Bangladesh Tokyo Korea nice got some people from Asia awake what time is it in Korea? It must be like super two players I want to go in the next probably year Japan and South Korea they're two places I would love to see Jamaica Bahamas love it all right rude puts up the lob it goes in and Alcoraz hits it in the net wow what happened? Alcoraz says he didn't did you not get the ball? This is meant to be a double bounce the umpire didn't say it rude's going to give the point to Alcoraz rude gives the point to Alcoraz because it was a double bounce that is just the man that rude is it bounced twice the umpire didn't see it and Alcoraz is like thank you for giving me a point did rude actually did it actually bounce twice? it did it did bounce twice yep that's why rude is the nicest person he gave a point away in a grand slam file despite the fact that he's losing I mean he could have really used that point all right 15 love Alcoraz served the font of rude font of Alcoraz into the font of rude from Alcoraz is shanked wide he just gives one back he's generous too Alcoraz is also friendly 15 all yeah what a nice guy classy from rude very clever I mean he had every right to be like umpire said so in a grand slam final it didn't look like it looked like it didn't know it did if they saw if you saw this slow motion it bounced the second time and rude flicked it up so it was it did touch the ground twice after it did touch the ground just just but um no look in grand slam final umpire said you know but rude said nah I'll give you the point which is just the class of the man as we're back now from Alcoraz into the font of rude let's see if the universe gives him a point and he does because Alcoraz hits in the net 15 30 let's see if the universe and karma comes back around in favor of rude for his nice uh for his nice gesture and look there would have been nothing wrong with it if rude said hey look you know I thought I got it the umpire said whatever you know he could have easily just gone I don't know and that would have been fine too because it's the umpire's call in the end as Alcoraz hits like wow massive serve straight down the middle of rude and it went straight through him straight through to the keeper 30 all man that was clean bold clean bold third ace of the night Alcoraz 30 all haven't had a break against Alcoraz to serve today as face break points though another good serve that goes into the form of Alcoraz back in our rude into the form of Alcoraz to the forehand of rude Alcoraz with the forehand inside out to the back of rude to the back of Alcoraz rude with the back of the stretch Alcoraz with the volley it's good rude gets there but it's in the net Alcoraz too good 40 30 and Alcoraz just coming up clutch big serves great points when he needs him the most rude has not really had a chance on the Alcoraz serve at all even though he's had break points there's been no chance once he's had those chair like those half chances or those break points lovely stuff from Alcoraz again he's fired up because 11 winners Alcoraz as he serves a fault second serve someone commented why is rude standing so far back on the second serve I agree I don't understand why he's doing that either he's given away the free like he's given away the rally by standing back that far as a back and a back and rally now he's on the baseline rude back in from Alcoraz down the line is a winner this is going to be all finished and Alcoraz takes the game five three but they're very close games his dad points at his head and goes just keep your mind about your son six three or sorry five three Alcoraz hitting winners but yeah it's weird that he's standing so far back and I think it's because he's afraid of the Alcoraz kick serve and also he's probably doesn't want to you know doesn't want to get aced on the second serve but I I think standing that far back on the second serve is giving Alcoraz almost a free like there's no pressure on Alcoraz a second serve by being that far back as rude puts in a first serve and a big forehand 15 love explain the kick serve please a kick serve is a ball that has it bounces and it kind of kicks off the ground so a kick serve is a is a serve that when it hits the ground has a lot of spin on it and it kind of like shoots up like a top spin forehand kind of kind of like a top spin forehand imagine Rafa Rafa's forehand but in a serve in serving form that's a kick serve is like that it's like a Rafa forehand but on the serve that makes sense it's hard to explain without showing you but that's that's as generous as as general as I can kind of make it to make it make sense it's a serve with a lot more spin but it also jumps up so standing into the baseline as Elcores hits into the net 40 love standing on the baseline on a kick serve means the ball might go over your head like it could you be hitting the ball up here if you're standing too close whereas if you stand further back you can let the ball drop so maybe that's why but I think the second serves makes sense it's got a lot of spin that makes sense anyway slice there from rude goes long and it's 40-15 you're not top spin but again the ball doesn't have technically have top spin but it does it does react when it hits the court like it has top spin like it kicks up like top spin so that's the only way I can technically it doesn't have top spin it has like a bit more of like a weird rotation not side spin not top spin but like diagonal spin technically but again for the sake of the argument it hits the ground and reacts like a top spin top spin forehand there's a slice there backhand down the line goes long and rude gets on the board rude's been serving well since he's been broken but unfortunately he got broken and that's the difference so yeah basically imagine this is the ball you're kind of going like this but you're hitting the ball like you're brushing up behind the ball so it has the spin and when it hits the ground it flies it it bounces off the ground kicks as it hits the ground it hits the kicks off the ground kick spin there you go as hopefully that made sense it does have top spin well yeah like it has again it's hard to explain without actually having a ball and showing you but yeah top spin is forward spin when the ball spins forward which is what most players what pretty much all the ground strokes have and back spin is when someone hits a slice backhand the ball spins backwards why does rude go back when Elcores second serve again that's what we're discussing right now I don't know I think you need to put more pressure on the second serve just make Elcores you know accountable standing all the way back on a second serve just gives Elcores all the space in the world to kind of get the ball in and not feel under pressure you know on that second serve I feel rude should be a little more aggressive just hit one on camera yeah just hit one in my house um again bounces in the opposite direction from what it typically bounces okay yeah does the ball also spin from the toss well no when you toss the ball up the ball should not be spinning it should be like when you toss the ball up it should be in the same spot you shouldn't have spin on the ball otherwise the ball is going to go all over the place and the ball toss is going to be terrible great serve volley yeah ball toss should be should not I can't demonstrate because I'm in my house I can't I can't demonstrate and I don't have a tennis ball in my in my office and if I did it would come up green so I can't show you but anyways anyways maybe it's something we can discuss on the second channel when we do some more coaching videos later whenever or some coaching sessions 15 love let's see what Alcarez can do he's serving for the first set he hits a good backhand down the line rude but hits it wide Alcarez just getting those first serves in that's the difference 30 love now rude hasn't been far away those first four games when we had break points in all of them the difference was made then at the start so Dan Hathaway and Zach Braff I know both of those people from movies not personally and Hathaway in the house 30 love serve now wide at the point of rude and rude in the net Alcarez again first serve coming to that rescue 40 love 40 love to take the first set Alcarez 40 love 40 love 40 love first serve is a fault second serve again rude is standing so far behind the base on the second serve it's almost like he's standing further back kind of like what Rafa does it's weird second serve now the backhand of rude who goes down the line in the net and that would have been over the net had he stand close up alright first set 6-4 to Carlos Alcarez first set to Alcarez and like I said the first four games was where that set was won and lost after the first four games it was very even both guys were serving a lot better but those first four games we had four break points in those first four games and Alcarez took the break rude did and that was the real difference after that it was pretty even six winners from rude 13 winners from Alcarez but yeah after those first four games it was we were we were dead even alright this is painful to watch really I don't think it is I wonder who gave him that name though likes cows are slow what do you mean against Tommy Paul rude came back two sets of one down that is true but again Alcarez is not Tommy Paul well sorry Tommy Paul is not Alcarez I should say Carlos in four well look he's got the first set I should be rude's coach no I mean his dad is his coach and his dad is his former player he doesn't mean he's you know again I just want to see rude standing inside the baseline occasionally you know to kind of show a different a different like to give Alcarez a different look on the second serve and kind of make make it you know because standing far back is not going to it's not going to I mean it doesn't give any pressure Alcarez just can do whatever he wants on the second serve with no the second serve at like five miles an hour and he wouldn't get punished you know is Alcarez tired or not um I mean he is playing a game that is again I've said this every freaking match he's not he's healthy 100% but he's you can do an underarm serve true that's true he's playing super aggressive which again shows that he's probably doesn't want to play long rallies which means but he's not again we'll find out I guess in the second set but I've said that every match and he's still won so it might not make a difference but he is playing aggressive Alcarez and making errors you know making errors and hitting winners redlining the game because he doesn't want to play long points not against Rude love 15 but he's not like cramping or anything if that's what you're asking Alcarez is the Chad he is the Chad Alcarez is young he'll be fine yeah looking Rude's old he'll be he'll probably Rude's like 23 right he's like oh he's old comparison that's Rude it's a winner now Rude has to win these first games he can't let Alcarez get off to a good start like he did in that first set if Rude's gonna come back and make a match of this has to win this set but he also has to start well in the second set can't be down a break he can't go down a break as he serves a fault second serve also needs first serves because Rude's first serve percentage needs to be over 60 served to the back end of Alcarez and Alcarez in the net on the return of the second serve again he doesn't miss those he doesn't miss those when he's playing first round matches so there have been tired shots from Alcarez tired looking shots and it's almost been an hour so we'll see serving to the front of Alcarez front of Rude into the back end of Alcarez back end of Rude into the front of Alcarez to the back end of Rude sliced Alcarez with a volley but Rude hits it wide on the slice and it's 30 all Alcarez looking for that break straight away 30 all and this would be the worst possible start for Rude if he does get broken because Alcarez might just go I'm getting out of here in straight sets I want to I want to leave first serve is a fault again second serve Rude second serve Rude out wide good second serve Alcarez gets it back Rude hits a winner wow what a shot back behind Alcarez as he was sprinting to the side 40-30 very nice shot from Alcarez from Rude 40-30 serve out wide the back end of Alcarez Alcarez in the net Rude gets the first game now for the tennis sake and for the final sake let's hope Rude gets this set so we can get a third set a live third set an active third set which makes things interesting how do I how do you say robot in Spanish says Deb that's a good point that is a good point Rude playing too good other than the one break yeah by the way Kim Klaas is in the house hashtag legend yeah like those first four games there was break points in all four and Rude got broken and Alcarez didn't and that was the difference could have been the other way it was those first four games that set up the first set so let's see what the first four games have for us here as Alcarez serves an ace bang and a little shake of the racket from Alcarez 15 love can what will Raffa's ranking be he will be number three after this week one of these guys will be one one of these guys will be two so one two and Raffa three serve out wide the back end of Rude it has Rude runs but he can't get it off the drop volley of Alcarez and Alcarez just kicking Rude into the front row on that serve just so much spin and Rude's like way back in the back corner he's somewhere back here you can't even see him he's hanging out here somewhere how do you get back on court after that 30 love Alcarez coming to the net a lot more today than usual serve to the back end of Rude and Rude in the net nice serve again from Alcarez 40 love can class it on the big screen she noticed this so she puts down her whatever she's eating there the snacks 40 love as Alcarez serves an ace great game from Alcarez one one one Alcarez is toying with Rude now he's got the confidence for sure he's got the confidence that he knows how to beat Rude without breaking he hasn't been broke he hasn't lost a set against Rude so he does have that like he does have that does have that confidence doesn't he that you know hey you're the one who has to beat me I've beaten you a bunch so he does have that in his in his back pocket for sure okay one one Rude serves to the 40 of Alcarez 40 now goes long from Alcarez Rude has to win this set if it's two sets of love Alcarez give him the trophy because I don't think Rude's going to come back from two sets of love down in a final against a machine against a terminator 15 love we turn now from Alcarez the fawn of Rude good shot from Rude Alcarez with a pass but Rude with a volley and that's a solid volley from Casper Rude 30 love volley I think we should mention that this new generation know how to volley I mean how good is that like because I know like over the last decade or even last probably the last 20 years the volley has been in singles has been such a underused shot and also kind of a forgotten shot and same with the smash but both these guys have such good volleys and it seems like the new generation actually use them whereas back in like I mean Andy Roddick couldn't save himself with a volley Djokovic just smashes Susie Nadal's got a solid volley but it's not I mean it's not his he plays volleys when he has to not on purpose Rodd just got volleys but he's just ridiculous but this new generation I mean they've all got volleys and they all use them to effect as Rude gets the 2-1 you know Rude's a clay quarter but he knows how to volley Alcrest can volley speaking of Andy Roddick got his shit on him and now he's on the screen sorry Andy I love you mate but your volleys weren't great let's be honest it's like a resurgence of the volley I love it we've got like the volleys coming back it's becoming a weapon again and a used shot it was never used back even at the end of the 2000s the volleys weren't a thing it was all about baseline winning your shots Sidney Pass has okay volleys I mean never have come volley but I love that this new generation are embracing the volley as like a as a shot serve volleys you know coming back in fashion too I love it I love it the volley is becoming a thing I love it yeah yeah say Andy Roddick had terrible volleys oh shit there he is oh uh hi Andy how are you mate um Alcris is a crazy kid yep personally I love the volley it's such a good mix up in tennis yeah for sure Sidney Pass can die volley that's true you know Shappos got good volleys despite the fact he's very inconsistent um yeah I mean there's a lot of young players coming through that like the volley is being uh used again uh Sidney Pass has amazing volleys Sidney Pass has good volleys Sidney Pass has good volleys I love the uh the great drop shots that's true yeah drop shots are also becoming a uh more of a thing as well drop shots are always kind of a thing cause Raffer and Noelle would would execute them and Roger would execute them a lot as Alcris hits that out love 15 but oh yeah I'm gonna give a bit of a shout to the volleys it feels like we're getting a bit of a resurgence of the volleys Tracee Austin and Andy Roddick are both sitting next to each other in the house I love her I love her Andy's like I'm in the corporate box but I'm gonna wear a stripy shirt uh I'm not gonna wear a suit I'm gonna wear a stripy shirt not even a polo Andy Roddick he just rocks up love 15 as we get to return now in the net from Rude good serving Alcaraz 15 all now Alcaraz has been solid more solid on serve than Rude more first serves as he serves down the front of Rude four now Alcaraz down the line Rude with the back hand on the stretch is a lob but doesn't make the net 30-15 and you just wonder if Alcaraz does miss a couple of first serves can Rude maybe take a break grab the break or if Alcaraz is going to continue to serve like this as Alcaraz serves again down the T the front of Rude return to the front of Alcaraz front of Rude on the stretch is a lob Alcaraz with a smash puts it away lovely smash from Alcaraz so solid 40-15 40-15 40-15 to get to 2-2 in the second as Alcaraz serves to the back end of Rude sliced to the front of Alcaraz back in our Rude again to the back end of Alcaraz but Rude hits it long alright 2-2 Alcaraz again that serve coming to the rescue Alcaraz not going to get broken in this final serving like that serving like that has been very it's hard to break a guy who keeps getting their first serve in where is that person there he is just take five take five you're not a fan of the match you don't have to be here you can go watch football or something there's been a drop shot Alcaraz it's a good shot but Rude's there Alcaraz with a pass man Rude should have gone down the line I know he reacted but he hit it straight to Alcaraz and Alcaraz like thank you love 15 love 15 Alcaraz was just standing there like oh you hit it straight to me love 15 as Rude serves a fault second serve second serve as we had a back end return to the back end of Rude back in Alcaraz into the back end of Rude falling out from Alcaraz again the back end of Rude into the front of Alcaraz on the stretch Rude on the forehand side goes into the front of Alcaraz Rude down the line now Alcaraz on the stretch with the back hand it's in the net man Alcaraz was dominating that point but Rude hung on 15 all 15 all 15 all Rude by the way has won more rallies when the shots when the rallies have been nine shots or more so the longer the rally the better for Rude at the moment but unfortunately for Rude he hasn't been able to play that long rallies because Alcaraz is just bashing the ball second serve not at the moment second serve second serve Rude to the front of Alcaraz back end of Rude on the stretch Alcaraz with a drop shot is wide all Alcaraz almost almost hit a ridiculous drop shot we've seen him do that before 30 15 Rude survives he survives and the crowd are like woo that was close that was close 30 15 Rude serves out wide the back end of Alcaraz back in our Rude down the line is a great shot cast for Rude he needs to go back to that down the line backhand I feel like he's not doing it enough he's getting a little predictable with his backhand he needs to start going down the line you know risking it a little bit 40 15 not give Alcaraz the same shot twice that guy had a mad that guy had a crazy ass beard guy was thick beard anyways find out the line is into the back end of Alcaraz Alcaraz it's a winner 40 30 you've got to be better than that Casper 40 30 got to be better than that 40 30 very nice pass 40 30 40 30 as Rude serves a fold second serve second serve remember the Roof is shut this is an indoor final we've got to return now from Alcaraz into the back end of Rude for now from Alcaraz into the front of Rude into the front of Alcaraz who goes down the line Rude with a slice into the front of Alcaraz Rude with a pass goes wide and Alcaraz gets the deuce Rude can't get the first serve no free points and we get the deuce big chance now for Alcaraz to get that break in the second Rude must be more aggressive I agree Rude is not aggressive enough he's just reacting to the Alcaraz aggression he needs to get a little more aggressive but that starts with the first serve if he doesn't get the first serve in Alcaraz is just attacking he needs to get the first serve in to start the rally in the right way and he serves another fold second serve it's not going to work Alcaraz is stepping in now he has to play defense Casper Rude second serve into the body of Alcaraz front of Rude to the front of Alcaraz on the stretch this is better from Rude but now Alcaraz comes in with a backhand winner Rude just doesn't go I mean he's just playing safe advantage Alcaraz to break Rude in the second easier said than done but he's got to get the first serve in Rude to at least get off to a good start and keep Alcaraz back he gets in that side of the baseline bloody hell has been a serve now down the tee first serve goes in he wins a point Rude there you go tennis is so easy back and deuce two more of those needed two more serves needed just to get out of this game as Rude serves another fold second serve he either needs to serve well or Alcaraz to give him some charity which he's been doing a lot today Alcaraz second serve goes down the tee the backhand of Rude Alcaraz and Alcaraz on the net Rude with a good second serve that had a little bit extra on it and Alcaraz couldn't quite react advantage Rude to get back the lead he serves out wide the backhand of Alcaraz into the point of Alcaraz Rude with the forehand again to the point of Alcaraz who shanks it out first serve again from Rude set the point up and he got a little lucky with the shank but he stays in front for now 3-2 alright now um we're going to play a little bit of a game because I feel like we need to break up the break up the final a bit it's trivia time we're going to play trivia time if you don't know what trivia time is this is when we I ask questions and you answer them and we see who gets it right now it's simple it's simple don't feel like this it's not an exam or a test this is just for fun we're having fun alright I want you to tell me oh try and name and there's multiple you can name multiple answers who has won the US Open and is Spanish a Spanish US Open Champion I want you to just tell me and we'll see if we can name them all in the open era can you name a Spanish US Open Champion there's not too many to pick Rafa easy peasy Rafa is the first one obviously Rafa who else who else annual Orantes that is a very unique answer but that is also that is correct Rafa and Orantes now Rantes actually won the US Open I think on a clay court if I'm not mistaken so that's two we've got two now what about the ladies Muga Ruta did Muga Ruta win the US Open no she did not she didn't win the US Open who else Moya Moya did not win the US Open there's actually only one other player who's from Spain who won the US Open if we can get that one right Juan Casparero he never won he got to the final but he never won the US Open and Aranches Sanchez-Vicario ah yes correct we'll do some more trivia at the next change of hands the European era from Spain have won this trophy and Alcarez is trying to become the fourth but ah yeah there you go only a couple David Ferrer didn't win it no David Ferrer didn't win a slam but ah yeah Aranches Sanchez-Vicario won it back in 94 Manuel Orantes won it back in 75 and of course Rafa 2010, 2013, 2017 where the times that Rafa won this trophy so there you go Alcarez trying to become the fourth Spanish US Open champion in the Open era 15 love now to the forehand of Alcarez into the front of Alcarez Alcarez's forehand into the front of Rude who puts it long too good from Alcarez too aggressive 30 love now um Spain is actually third all-time record third all-time on the on the country list for champions at the US Americans win the US Open more than anyone Australians are second, Spain is third and then followed by Switzerland that's because Federer Vavrinco Alcarez puts it down the line to the backhand slice of Rude, it's a drop shot Alcarez gets it with a slice, Rude with a volley lob in Alcarez with a pass, it's a lob Rude gets a smash, Alcarez with a pass again Rude with a drop volley, Alcarez runs, runs, runs you can't get it, what a rally what a rally that's what you got to do to win a point against Carlos Alcarez just do that 700 times and you'll win by the way Manuel Santana won in the amateur era I know some people are mentioning him but he wasn't an open era champion but he still won it, he was the only person in the amateur era to win it yeah Royce, Manuel Arantes won the Clay Court US Open back in in 79, what 75 alright 30-15 30-15 Alcarez serves into the front of Rude volley from Alcarez is wide serving volley was smart but just the volley was he bricked the volley 30-all small opening for Casper Rude here but we know that Alcarez has been serving big on the pressure points 30-all he's been serving big yeah US Open was on Clay for a couple of years back in the 70s yeah true story it was a Clay Court event for like three years serve our wide is a fault this is Rude's first chance for a long time as he stands back further than Rafa does at the French second serve into the back end of Rude drop shot, Rude runs, gets it with the back end pass, Alcarez in the net and Casper Rude gets a break point in the second set 30-40 30-40 Alcarez he has saved all the break points so far can Rude get back the first serve if it goes in, first serve is in the net, okay Rude's best chance of the day and he stands back further than ever you can barely see him he's standing far back I mean it might as well be sitting in the front row second serve into the front of Rude back into Alcarez into the back end of Rude a point from Alcarez down the line is good Rude on the stretch gets it, Alcarez drop shot Rude runs, runs, gets it with a lob Alcarez with the back end winner, no it's out it's out, Rude breaks Rude breaks Alcarez over hits it and Casper Rude welcome to the final, the crowd love it he wins the point that he's been trying to win for almost an hour and a half we've got a final now great running from Rude and Alcarez, he had the back end down the line, he just over hit it and Rude's fired up for the first time today he's shouting and screaming here we go welcome to the final let's see what's up big celebration, yeah Rude for Rude that was a big celebration a big shout and a big fist bump let's see if he can hold under the break as he serves out wide to the front of Alcarez and Alcarez hits it out, Rude gets a free point, 15 love 15 love as Rude serves again and he took the chance, the second serve point one, that's you know good for Rude to take the chance he's got a return now to the back end of Rude Rude hits it out by a mile, 15 all but it's not a break unless you consolidate we all know that because it's true, it's not a break unless you hold 15 all this match is starting to get intense I know welcome to the match he's got to get this game though Rude to make this interesting as we're to serve now Rude out wide to the front of Alcarez into the net oh Rude, easy error easy error 15-30 and just a nothing shot he hit the first serve in as well dumped the forehand in the net 15-30 can't let up against Alcarez even if you think you've got the break you don't really serve down to see the fault, oh no oh no Rude giving back the break at the moment as he serves down to see the front of Alcarez find out Rude into the back end of Alcarez Rude comes up with a volley oh hit the tape and Alcarez puts up a lob, Rude with the back end smashes Rude survives bloody hell, that was lucky Rude very lucky to win that point Alcarez almost stole it Rude almost hit the tape and dribbled over and Rude had to react very quickly he was going to drop volley and he had to do a back end instead and then the back end smash was ridiculous the high back end volley from Rude was ridiculous 30-all good serve there, Alcarez returns back in now Rude down the line is out 30-40 Rude just going nuts 30-40 Rude just getting a little bit over excited he's getting the first serves in Rude he's missing the second shot to get back on serve straight away Alcarez 30-40 serve out wide, great serve Alcarez gets it but it goes long that's clutch that's clutch Deuce back at Deuce huge game for Casper Rude he's finally got some momentum as he serves a fault this might be the most this might be the most crucial game for Rude of the match holding serve after a breaking as he serves down the back end of Alcarez, Alcarez dumps it in the net he's done that so much today so many times Rude's second serve has been he's won a lot of second serve points because Alcarez has hit a lot of errors off the second serve return and Alcarez getting pissed off he's like what am I doing I mean he just dumped that in the net advantage Rude to take that 5-2 lead Rude taking the time here as Rude serves down the tee Alcarez returns into the front of Rude Alcarez with the back end lob Rude with the smash, he's going to let it bounce into the smash of Rude and Rude puts it away Kasper Rude gets the 5-2 we're going to go around the courts because we just up one second ok if you're just joining us Kasper Rude has the break in the second he's up 5-2 but it's only one break so only one break also thank you everybody who has subscribed and liked the video as well we're almost at 111.3 so thank you so much everybody um thanks for all the support and all the love throughout the whole tournament and throughout the whole year of course I watched by hands, who doesn't watch their hands 5-2 Alcarez serving to stay in the set as he says a fault also we'll get to the donations at the end of this set so Vince, Tristan thanks for the donations, we'll get to them at the end of this set 5-2 Alcarez serves, second serve to the front of Rude who hits it in the net he hit a winner there he just just hit the post 15 love and Alcarez at the end of that game was just having a big talk to himself and not uh not overly happy after that game alright 15 love serve to the front of Rude front of Alcarez drop shot Rude runs that's a terrible drop shot and Rude puts it away just a nothing drop shot from Alcarez which is rare not good too much height and Rude smart enough to not over hit it, I mean that could have easily been that could have been an easy shot but could have also been a mess 15-all, serve down to the back end of Rude and Rude puts it out nice serve from Alcarez his first serve comes to the rescue again 30-15 30-15 can Alcarez make Rude serve this set out he serves out wide the back end of Rude and Alcarez hits a fault second serve second serve is double folds give me a second view give me a second view give me a second view give me a second view give me a second view shout out to Sashis Vera first double fold of the day for Alcarez we'll be seeing Sashis next week by the way so uh put yourself in there as he says uh whatever that means 30-all serve is a fault second serve Alcarez chance for Rude to get the break again and just take this set with a double break serve down the tee but Rude runs around the forehand forehand from Alcarez the back end of Rude shanks it wide and Alcarez gets the 40-30 again not sure why Rude is standing so far back especially at 30-all just just every now and again to stand a little bit closer to give put some pressure on you know Alcarez has hit one double fold because Rude has stood so far back you know there's no other reason he would have maybe hit two or three under pressure had Rude put the pressure on you never know back in now from Rude at 40-30 Alcarez back in again Rude into the back end of Alcarez the back end of Rude and now Alcarez down the line is wide and again Alcarez just going for broke on some of these points doos as we get to doos Alcarez with a serve is a fault okay okay come on Casper this moves come on let's move in I stand next to the ball kid second serve now wide to the forehand of Rude is picked up by the back end of Rude into the back end of Rude Alcarez who's on the attack Rude side to side has been a foin down the line now Rude runs right into foin inside out back in now from Alcarez goes long Rude get that point now he's got a set point to take the second set with a double break advantage Rude to take us to a third one one advantage Rude as Alcarez serves a fault okay second serve Alcarez into the foin of Rude foin out in the net from Rude now if you stand so far behind the baseline on a second serve sometimes you can't even make the net on the return and that's exactly what happened there so not only should he stand in to put pressure on but he also needs to stand in so he can get the ball back standing so far behind the baseline means you have to hit the ball higher or harder just dumping that in the net on a second serve return with no pressure is just a wasted shot Deuce as Alcarez serves a double fault that'll help that hit the tape and went out come on can he just just once I just want to see him step in once on the second serve just be a little more aggressive Casper Rude just a little more aggressive on a second serve just once like just show Alcarez something different you know just something just to get it serve that wide it's a fault okay step advantage Rude second serve Alcarez might give him the set for free let's see what happens second serve into the back end of Rude back in Alcarez drop shot Rude runs gets it with a backhand Alcarez with a pass it's a lob Rude with a smash we're going to a third 1-1 Casper Rude takes it 6-2 Rude in the second and Alcarez starting to make some make some errors now how big was that game at two all when Rude could have got broken he held serve and he ran away with it in the end alright one set all in this final we've got a match we've got a match nope my Tinder is not giving me matches that's answer questions by like 7

Rude wants to do is you know drag drag Elcrez into the deep waters and see if he can swim still love 15 first point goes to Elcrez Rude needs to keep the foot on the gas though because we've seen so
