after that first set, Alcres was stuffed. And Tiafo made the big mistake of letting up. And now look what's happened. Right. Look where we are. So just again, I like take lessons from the pros and make don't make their mistakes. If you're a tennis player, remember what happened tonight. And all the things that we've talked about. Because you can learn from this mistake that Tiafos made so far 30 15, because he might come back. We never know. That's good. Whoever that chick in the in the Tiafo shirt in the box is on her feet. She she's doing the right thing. She's like up and about God, let's go.  Everyone else is sitting there like they've got somewhere else to be. 30 15. Whoever she is, she deserves a promotion. Is that his girlfriend? No, maybe somebody. She's listening to the stream.  She's also rocking a very fresh fit. So I like, I want one of those Tiafo shirts. As that goes long on the return, because his girlfriend, we're good. She's up and about. She's the only one standing up clapping. Everyone else has got their arms folded. That guy in the blue shirt.    You get out. It's Tiafos girlfriend. Good.  Then she deserves a promotion somehow. I don't know how you get promoted to wife, I guess, has been a fire now from Tiafo in the ground. Too good from Alcarez 40 30. She needs to be promoted by her car or something. I don't know. She's the only one supporting. She's the only one given any sort of vibe wedding ring promotion. And she's also rocking and like that that shirt that she's rocking that bootleg kind of style. I like it. Can I buy one? I want one. She is listening. Hit us up for a to find rally that goes into the back end of Tiafo drop shot into the slice of Alcarez and Alcarez puts it away. Alcarez is taking the crowd away from Tiafo. He's like, they're my crowd now. I'm going to entertain this crowd now. This is my this is my crowd now back to do on the TFO serve again. Just all these things. And Tiafos is basically guessing at this point. TFO shouldn't need his box to be cheerleading him. Okay, I disagree. As we serve, that's a fault. Second serve. Second serve to the back end of Alcarez for now. TFO is wide and Alcarez got a break point first game of the fourth and TFO again. TFO is looking at the box like, what am I doing? How can I come back? He looks done. He is looking to his coaches box for answers and they're just like, I don't know man. Maybe it's just not your day. And it's like, excuse me. Please, please don't say that. Exactly Isabella. Yeah. The box is your source of strength. When things go wrong. Half fully there from Tiafo and Alcarez puts away the back end. We're going to break and big foe is in big trouble. Two love in the fourth. Alcarez cruising to the final. Players need positive support. Yeah. Yeah.  Let's just say you have a bad day at work or, you know, just anything. You always want to go to your supporters for, you know, that's the same in tennis. When things are going bad and you need something, some positive reassurance, you go to those people in the box and if they're sitting back looking like, yeah, look, maybe you're going to lose.  All right. Well, how the hell am I supposed to believe in myself? If you guys don't believe, you know, players need that reassurance. I mean, Alcarez gets it every single point by one cause he never looks like Alcarez is going to lose because that's he knows his job as a coach. Like, you don't want to give your player the feeling of like resignation, right? That's Tiavo. It's a winner. Love 15. Love 15. But his girlfriend, if that is his girlfriend, she's the only one on her feet.  Back end now down the line from Tiavo. That's a winner. Love 30. Michelle Obama back on the screen. She is still there. By the way, she didn't leave. She's still there. Love 30. Okay. Bigfoot giving the crowd something. Couple of winners. Couple of winners. Love 30. Now the crowd's getting chanting. All right. It's saying, let's go Francis. Love 30. Can Bigfoot use the energy? Because now they're trying to help him as he returns that one into the forend of Carlos and Alcarez hits it in. What a winner from Alcarez. 15. 30. Bigfoot needs to let out a roar or something. He wore the goat shirt or the goat hoodie. We need a Serena roar from Tiavo. They're chanting Carlos' name. No, they're saying, let's go Francis. Aren't they? 15. 30. Serve out wide the back end of Tiavo. Good return to the forend of Alcarez. Volley from Tiavo is terrible. Alcarez in the back end pass. 30-all. Tiavo charged the net and now he's just talking to himself. Tiavo is like, what am I doing? I can't win the points. I mean, that was a great pass from Alcarez and Tiavo couldn't handle the power, I guess, but Tiavo is just, he's lost. 30-all. One cost for Aris with the, just going, yep, we got this. Keep going. Alcarez is like, sure, I'll keep, I'll keep going. Serve. There's a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Serve to the back end of Tiavo. Back end of Alcarez. Into the back end of Tiavo. Again to the back end of Alcarez. Back end of Tiavo into the back end of Alcarez. Again to the forend of Tiavo. Forend of Alcarez on the stretch. Slice. Tiavo forehand into the net. Another error. 40-30. 40-30. Nine-shot rally that last one. Tiavo looks stuffed. Tiavo looks stuffed. Again, thank you so much everybody for liking and subscribing and look, if you've never been here before and you're wondering why I'm like the way I am, I get passionate. I get a little bit passionate. That's why I'm showing my frustrations because it's like, ah, it's just so, it's such an easy thing to do for his box to help him and he could, it could make this match totally different or at least it could make this match entertaining again. As Tiavo finally hits a good shot and went back to deuce and the crowd are yawning. That's always a good sign. Back at deuce. So yeah, I'm just passionate. I want to see a good tennis match do it at the end of the day and right now we've, we had a great first set, an okay second set, a boring one sided third set and we're getting the same in the fourth. So we're being robbed as fans. That's why I'm getting, that's why I'm getting so fired up. Second serve. It's great for Alcarez though. I mean, he's having a great time cruising to victory. As he serves now the back end of Tiavo, back on Alcarez, the front of Tiavo, that goes out from Tiavo and Alcarez with a fist pump goes to advantage. Alcarez with the advantage to take the three love lead. Alcarez to get to three love as he serves again. Out wide, a fault. Second serve. Second serve. To the back end of Tiavo. Good return. Alcarez gets it. Four and a Tiavo. Again to the front of Alcarez who puts it in the net. All right, big vote. All right. And the crowd are on their feet going, let's go. That's, look, good. Let's hope they listen. Deuce again. It's almost like it's now or never big vote. That's what I think it's, it feels like this is the game. If it's not this game, it's probably not going to happen unless Alcarez completely loses his plot. Oh, what a return from Tiavo. Okay. All right. A little inspiration and a little positivity as well. And the crowd on their feet, they appreciate that. Tiavo nodding. Okay. All right. Let's see what happens. Advantage Tiavo for the record. He hasn't broken Alcarez all day. Zero breaks. Alcarez serves to the front of Tiavo. Back into Alcarez. Into the back in a big vote. Back enough for Alcarez again to the back of Tiavo. Into the back of Alcarez. Back into Tiavo again to the back of Alcarez. Into the back of Tiavo. For now, Alcarez down the line. Tiavo on the stretch gets it. To the back of Alcarez. For now, Tiavo hits a winner. Okay. And Tiavo is back. He's back. That's what we're talking about. Pulling himself out of the mud. And he's back. Dust himself off. All right. The crowd appreciate that. That's what we want to see. Some heart. Some fight. We're back. Much better from Tiavo. But for how long? For how long? Inspired a little bit of inspiration. And I like the energy as well. Finally, where has he been? Where has he been? In this year's US Open, glimpses of Rafa. I see an Alcarez. Oh, yeah, for sure. No doubt. I mean, for this whole season, it's been a glimpses of Rafa. There we go. Big foe getting fired up. It ain't over yet. Yeah, exactly.  That's all I care about. I care about Alcarez wins this set or not. If big foe ends up losing anyway, at least he loses close, you know. At least make Alcarez earn it, you know? Make Alcarez earn it. Don't just end the points with errors. He finally heard you. Yeah, his girlfriend must have relayed the message. Love seeing campfire up. Yeah, look, I love the sport. I want the players aside, replace these two with any others. And I'll say the same thing. I want to see some, I want to see some grit. I'm a latent Hewitt fan. That's all I know is not giving up. Unless Federer plays, I don't care about the result. Yeah, okay, fair enough. I would like a high level match. Yeah, at least that. At least give us something to, you know, something to get excited about for the last 30 minutes maybe of this match. Look out, some emotions might be what was lacking. Yeah, he got fired up, but again, you know, maybe we would have seen that a little bit earlier, had his box got up and about a little bit earlier in the match. But hey, he gets the break back. Let's see if he can whole serve. And Alcarez putting on some new shoes. His girlfriend is a tennis player. Her name is Ayanne Broomfield from Ontario, really? Did not know that. Well, shout out to her. She would know that's what she's supporting because she knows what she's on her feet. A break and a break into your hold, exactly. That is true. That is so true. Cam is a sports psychologist. I would love to get into sports psychology. It would actually like, if I had the time, maybe I will, maybe I will. Maybe I will. Maybe next year, I'll study sports psychology. I'm a sports psychologist hobbyist, I guess. If you have any sports psychology books you want me, send them to me. I'll read them. I think, is it like, what's that tennis one? I just downloaded that audio book. What is it? Tennis? I don't know what it's called. It's a tennis version, tennis one. Someone know, Inside Tennis or something? Now, let me find it. Anyway, it's Big Foes hitting back hands and that one goes in there from Big Foe. Love 15. What's it called? Inner game or something? The Inner Game? What's it called? You're a tennis coach, right? Yeah, I am. I'm a tennis coach in real life. The Inner Game of Tennis. So I've just downloaded that audio book and I'm going to listen to that after the US Open to get, yeah, the Inner Game of Tennis, yeah. And that's the sort of stuff I like because, you know, four hands at back ends are lovely, but also between the ears is what matters in tennis especially as we're at a four-on-to-four-on rally. Love 15 is Elcraz. On the stretch down the line, hit the winner, Love 30. And Tiafo might have fought back, but it's not a break unless you hold, said whoever in the chat before. Lovely shot down the line, Elcraz. Neurosculpting? Okay, let me write that down. You know, I'm always fascinated by like, you know, all that kind of stuff. As Elcraz hits the ball wide, 15.30. Good serve there from Tiafo. 136 miles an hour down the tee. 15.30. Tiafo serves. A fold. Second serve. 15.30. Serve to the foin of Elcraz. Foin of Tiafo is down the line. Elcraz on the stretch gets it. Tiafo with a volley is terrible. He just swatted that out, Tiafo. 15.40. Just a missed swat. Just a bad volley. Just a bad volley. He wasn't missing those in the first set. 15.40. Chance for Elcraz to get the break straight back. Wonder how many times Tiafos come back from the brink. I'll find out and let you know how many times his big foe come back from two sets of one down because if you've never done it and you've got to do it against this kid for the first time, that's good luck. As Elcraz hits it out, 30.40. All right, so he's been down two sets of one twice in his career and he came back. But I mean, look, Andrea Sepi and John Milman are not Carlos Elcraz. Return now goes in the foin of Tiafo. Back in there from Elcraz. The foin of Tiafo who hits a winner. Big foe survives and Elcraz points at his shoes because he slipped over again as we get to Deuce and Big foe. I don't know what he's saying to himself, but it didn't look great. Elcraz is slipping over again. I mean, he slipped over a fair few times this tournament Elcraz and he's not happy Elcraz. He was like, what the hell? Why am I falling over?  I thought I was playing on a sticky hardcore. It's slippery out there. Deuce serve out wide the foin of Elcraz, foin of Tiafo down the line. Elcraz with the backhand. Pass. Tiafo in the net. Elcraz too good. Tiafo's volley's in this game. Two of them. No good. Advantage Elcraz. Advantage Elcraz. Now at this stage, we're going to get a final that will determine the world number one, which is, look, let's be real. Probably the best case scenario, right? The best final. Having that, you know, whoever wins the trophies number one, you know, that little bit of a cherry on top. Serve out wide the backhand of Elcraz. Good return. Tiafo gets it in the net. And Elcraz breaks again. Three-one in this final fourth set. I caught myself there. I almost said it, but I caught myself. So, yeah, so big foes come back twice from two sets to one down, one against John Milman at the US Open and one against Andrea Seppi in Australia.  Elcraz serves at three-one in the fourth set as he serves a fault. Second serve to the backhand of Tiafo, four-nit from Elcraz, the four-nit Tiafo, to the backhand of Elcraz. Backhand at Tiafo doesn't need to be hit because Elcraz puts it long. Love 15. Again, thank you so much for joining us. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already with, uh, we've got two matches left. We've got two matches left. Yeah, that's kind of bounced me out. Don't worry, I'll be back next week. We've got plenty of tennis a little to go. As Elcraz serves a good serve and Tiafo slices it in the net, 15-all. All right, 15-all. As Elcraz serves again, serve out wide the four-nit Tiafo, four-nit Elcraz, again to the four-nit Tiafo, to the four-nit of Elcraz. Tiafo with the forehand, the backhand of Elcraz, drop shot. Tiafo runs, forehand, drop shot back. Elcraz gets there with a slice. Tiafo volleys it away. Nice from Big Fo. As now he starts getting the crowd involved. Okay. All right, maybe he's got a little bit of energy left. 15-30, 15-30. Nice running there from both guys, but Tiafo is outsmarting Elcraz. You don't see that very often. Has been a return there from Tiafo, four-nit Elcraz down the line, backhand Tiafo into the backhand of Elcraz, backhand out from Big Fo. Again, the backhand of Elcraz, sliced. Four-nit from Tiafo, crosscourt. Elcraz on the stretch gets it. Four-nit Tiafo down the line. It's a winner, Big Fo. All right. The crowd's up and about now, 15-40. This is going to be our finished TV run. That's how he won the first set. Playing like that, 15-40, 15-40. Elcraz didn't get bad there as Tiafo had that swat down the line. What a shot to get back to break again, 15-40. Served the backhand of Tiafo, and that's a winner. Tiafo runs to the chair. All right. All right. We see you, Big Fo. We see you. And now his supporters get up. Oh, now you stand up. Oh, wow. Okay.  Oh, now when he hits a winner, oh, now we're going to stand. Oh, good shot now. Get stuffed. All right. Let's answer questions. Actually, no, I'm going to ask you a question. Oh, sorry. I was way too sassy. I forgot that I was actually alive. That's how I react usually in my real life. Where are you watching from? Let me know the chat. Sorry about that. Oh, my bad. I forgot who I was talking. I thought I was talking and hanging out with my friends. I am sort of, where are you watching from? Where are you watching from? Yeah, they're bandwagonists. Yeah. I'm embarrassed. That's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed now. Sorry about that. Anyway, where are we watching from? Let me know in the chat. What's up? Okay. Australia, Greece, Taiwan, Canada, Dallas, Poland, Nigeria. Yeah, I am with friends, but I forgot what I was doing. A little unprofessional. Getting all sarcastic. Too sarcastic. Japan, Israel, nice. USA, Pakistan, Bahamas, India, London, New York, Barbados from Savage Land, says Darren. Yeah, Darren, you're the mayor of Savage Land, mate. You are the mayor and the boss over in Savage Land. Hong Kong, Mexico, LA, the UK. Some of you savages are awake. Love to see it. Spain, Mexico, Miami, Venezuela. Some people are saying some ridiculous places. That's fine.  Hollywood, okay. That sounds fake. North Pole, good one. Haven't heard that one before. Where else are we from? Vancouver, Las Vegas, Dubai, Kentucky, France, Philippines. Nice. From all around the world. Some of you are awake in Europe. You guys are the savages right now. Appreciate that. To stand up all night hanging out. And let's hope that it's worth it. Let's hope that we get a finale fitting of a 4AM finish, right? At least this match is starting to make it worth your while. Staying up all night. It's not, at the moment, it's worth your while. You're not doing it for nothing, you know? Let's get back to it. Again, thank you so much for the love. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't yet. I encourage you to do so. All right. Tiafo has the break again. Can he get back to even though? That is the question. Has Elcors hit the winner return? Love 15. Because he's broken back the last couple of games, but he hasn't quite leveled it up yet. Nearly three hours played. Now, the real winner of this match is Casparud. Because Casparud is going to play either Tiafo after a five-set epic or Elcaraz after a three-hour epic. So either way, what happens now, Casparud will be the favorite or at least should be the favorite because he will drag one of these guys into the dark deep waters and see how long they can swim. That's dark, but also super relevant. As Tiafo hits a good serve, it's 30-15. 30-15. Big foe to get level. Elcaraz is still serving though. First, I should say. So he'll still be leading if he can keep holding as Elcaraz hits a forehand and Tiafo puts it away. Nice serving there from Big Foe. 40-15. 40-15. Michelle Obama chilling. She's got her. She's clapping. She's showing the energy. There you go. Love to see it. Bon Jovi. I don't know where he is, but I'm sure he's having fun. 40-15. Serve from Tiafo as a fault. Second serve. Second serve in the back of Elcaraz. Elcaraz in the net. 33. All right, level. 33. And Tiafo is trying to get the crowd involved. All right. Good. And they say yes, we will cheer for you. We've got you. He needs him. He needs him. Three all in the fourth. Elcaraz up two sets of one. Now I wonder if Elcaraz has lost the two sets of one lead before. I feel like Baratini beat him from two sets of one down. I feel like Baratini got him. Let me have a look. No, he's never lost from two sets of one up. Never. He's never lost from this position before Elcaraz. In fact, he's only been pushed to five sets twice. No, three times, sorry. Chillidge at the US Open in the last round. He was up two sets of one, and then Chillidge made a fifth. Sidney passed last year at the US Open, was up two sets of one, and then he lost six love in the fourth and then won a tie break. And then in Wimbledon last year, he lost the two sets of one lead to Uchiyama, but then he came back and won in the fifth. So he has been forced to play five sets a few times from this position, but not very often. Three hours played. 30 love as Elcaraz serves the front of Tiafo. Fawn Elcaraz is long. All right, 30-15. 30-15. As Elcaraz looks to get back the lead, if you're just joining us, Tiafo has broken back a couple of times to get back into this set, but he's trying to use the crowd to his advantage, and now the sun to get loud as he hits an inside-out winner. Woops. 30-all. 30-all. Can Bigfo get back in the lead? No worries, JK. Appreciate it. Good luck, mate, on your bet. All right, they're saying, let's go, Francis. Let's see what happens. 30-all. Three-all. Big chance for Bigfo, as he serves out wide the front of Tiafo. Back in Elcaraz, into the back of Tiafo, up goes the lob. Tiafo can't get back the next smash. Great smash from Elcaraz. Clutch. 40-30. And Tiafo just kind of goes, I don't know what to do. How do I beat that? I don't know if I like that attitude. It seems like he's accepting it. I guess I can't beat this guy. Well, not with that attitude. 40-30.  Back in Slice Elcaraz, into the front of Tiafo, who puts it wide for three. Elcaraz gets back the lead. He gets back the lead. And he's crowded on their feet, because they know he needs it. They're up and about. I would much rather have them in my box if I was playing, to be honest. They're giving off energies when, and then Carlos is feeding off that too. You know, that's, it matters. It matters. All right, let's answer questions. Now, that other match is tight. I feel Tiafo's back. I've got to be honest, it's great to see Bigfo putting up a fight, but I reckon Elcaraz is going to break to win. I think Elcaraz is going to break to win. It just feels like one of those things where it's like, he's put up a good fight to get back, but it's like, he's still serving second. And that's because he let the third set go so easily. Yeah, Elcaraz's box doing their job, yeah. Maybe Kiggs needs Elcaraz's box. They'd fire them all after a day, for no reason. Yeah, what a match. Yep, Contra, what a match. We knew these matches were going to be fun, because they were so unpredictable. We didn't know what to expect with these random semi-finals, but yeah. Cam, why are you cheering for Tiafo? Because I want five sets. I want more tennis, and the only way we're going to get that is if Tiafo wins this set. Again, if Elcaraz wins this set, that's fine by me. Final's going to be fire, but I just want five sets, because I love tennis. Elcaraz loved so much. Handsome boys as Elizabeth. Is Elcaraz tired? Yeah. Elcaraz is tired, but you don't feel tired when you're winning. At least you don't, you know, you don't, you don't think about it when you're winning, but for sure he's still tired, but he's getting free points, which is very easy, much easier than, and he's running down everything, which is good, but Tiafo puts that point away. 15 love. 15 love. Not sure you're getting five cam. Well, I don't think we will. Like I said, I think I wouldn't be surprised if Elcaraz breaks the win at four five or maybe six five. That's Tiafo sends an ace. 30 love. 30 love. Just waiting for the person in the chat. Where is it? Where are they? 30 love. Where are you? Where'd you go? Okay. Sit back down. All right. All right. 30 love as Tiafo serves a fault. Second serve. Pew, pew, pew. Second serve. Big four out wide at the front of Elcaraz and Elcaraz dumps it in the net. So that answered the question, is Elcaraz tired? Well, yeah, because he wouldn't miss that if he was fresh, you know, he wouldn't miss that if he was not tired. So he is still tired, but when you're winning and you don't think about it, serve is a let from Tiafo to get to four to get to four four over three hours played as Big Four serves a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Into the back end of Elcaraz, back in at Tiafo. Into the back end of Elcaraz. Four now from Tiafo to the slice of Elcaraz who puts it in the net. And Tiafo levels up again four four in the fourth. All right. They crowds on their feet again. Where we are in the third set. Second set. When he needed you more most, they're there now. Four four. Can Tiafo create something special? Or is Elcaraz going to get to the final in four sets? We're going to find out. We won five. See, I do want five always. Always five sets all day. And I could give us stuff who wins the fifth. I don't care. Just take us to the fifth. Tiafo, but he hits it long on the return. Good serving Elcaraz. I want to be optimistic. Nice serving from Elcaraz. 15 love. That guy is wearing the most American shirt. He basically made a polo shirt out of a flag. I don't know how that is even a thing. He ripped this flag down and he made a shirt.  Super patriotic. I love it, but also why? Why? Serve out the back end of Elcaraz. Sorry, back in Tiafo. Back in Elcaraz down the line. Tiafo in with the forehand. Elcaraz with the back end in the back end of Tiafo. Elcaraz now to the front of Tiafo. To the back end of Elcaraz. Tiafo going after it here as we had a four and a four in rally. Big four again. To the front of Elcaraz. To the back end of Tiafo. Back in Elcaraz on the stretch. Sliced. Tiafo. Volley's a winner. All right. 15 all. 15 all and the crowd is starting to get fired up. They're starting to get fired up and Big Four is looking. He's happy again. I mean smiling. We haven't seen that since the second set. He almost ran into the net. I think that's why he smiled. He almost touched the net. Oh, that could have been. Remember if you touched the net. Oh, how did he not touch the net? Big Four was so lucky. He almost ran into the net, which means you lose a point.  Unless the ball bounces twice, you will lose a point. As we had a return now from Tiafo. That goes out. 30-15. See, they're the rules. If the ball bounces twice and then you can touch the net, but you can't touch the net during the point. All right. 30-15. Six points away Elcaraz from the final. As he serves the front of Tiafo. Back in Elcaraz. Drop shot. Big Four runs. Gets it with a drop shot back. Elcaraz back in pass. Winner. 40-15. And Elcaraz again. I don't think he wants to play five for the third time in a row. And I think if we go to a fifth, the crowd are going to be energized. Let's be honest. And Tiafo should be fitter based on their last matches. There's this tired fist bump as well from Elcaraz. He's like, we're almost there. It's almost like me on a Friday when I used to be an architect. Back into down the line to the slice of Elcaraz. 4-0 Tiafo in the net. Elcaraz gets a free game. Okay. Elcaraz who slowly walks back to the chair is one game away from the final. One game away. One game away. Can Big Four survive? That's the question. All right. Go Elcaraz. Pew, pew. Do you think Sinner can make the ADB finals? What will he have to do to get there? Good question. So Sinner is 14th on the list of ADB finals. Sinner's like 500 points from making the finals. So if Sinner plays well at a couple of events on the indoor courts, which he is pretty good at, he's had pretty good success on the indoor surface, he could make the he could qualify. Unfortunately, Wimbledon lack of Wimbledon points screwed him over. But yeah, if he plays good on the indoor courts in Europe at the end of the year, he could sneak there for sure. A good run in Paris or a good run in Vienna, which is I think he won before. So yeah. Also, we're almost at 2000 likes, which is probably the most for the tournament. So thank you so much everybody for showing the love. And like I said in the last match, just thank you for joining us because it's not the Nadal Federer, Nadal Djokovic match that we're used to seeing, or even the Medvedev versus Vera matches. It's new players, players that we haven't seen at this stage at playing for these trophies. I can understand a lot of people not want to watch this because it's not the players that they're used to seeing, but I appreciate all of you who have come here and know that this is an important match.  So I appreciate everybody who's here because I'm sure a lot of people as soon as Nadal lost were like, well, I'm not watching. A lot of people said I'm not watching because Djokovic is not there. So I really do appreciate everybody who is here, despite the fact we don't have the superstar goats in the semis. As Tiafo hits it wide and it's love 15, because it just shows that you guys are real true tennis fans are out there, you know, no matter who wins a point and who wins the matches. As that ball went wide from Tiafo, love 15, three points away. Exactly. Yeah, tennis is bigger than the players. That's true. All right, by the way, the donations coming through, we'll get to the donations at the end of this match. So if you do donate, I'll play them at the end. As we're going to return now from Elcaraz, the back end of Tiafo, four now Elcaraz, into the four of Tiafo, again to the four of Elcaraz, who puts away the winner. Love 30. Love 30. Always a danger at this stage. Always a danger when serving to stay in a match, especially against Elcaraz. Love 30. Two points away from the first ever Grand Slam final, where he'll play Kasparud for the world number one and a U.S. Open. As we're going to back in now from Tiafo, into the back end of Elcaraz, sliced in the net. Big foe survives. 15-30. 15-30 has Big foe got anything left. His girlfriend's on her feet. The only one who's clapping. Again, a disgrace. If I was Tiafo, I would tell them all to get up or get out. That's just me. 15-30. Maybe I am a little bit like Kirios in there. I got a bit of that vibe. You're not a spectator. You're not a spectator. 15-30. Big foe served. Second serve to the four of Elcaraz. Back in that Tiafo doesn't need to be hit. Elcaraz just pushes that out. 30-all. 30-all. Now they're on their feet. They should be on their feet after the ball. I'm going to send that guy to the, that guy's going to the, he's going to the moon, that guy. All right. Return now to the back end of Elcaraz. Backing out from Tiafo into the front of Elcaraz. Again, going in really? No way. Elcaraz must have hit the line just because that looked out. And Tiafo can't believe it. 30-40. Elcaraz with a match point. And it was in by a millimeter. It's been like that all night. Elcaraz has hit the ball on the line. Just match point for Carlos Elcaraz to play Casperud for the US Open, but also for the world number one. He serves. Tiafo a fault. Second serve. Second serve goes to the back end of Elcaraz. Back in that Tiafo. Into the back end of Elcaraz. Back in that Tiafo. Again to the back of Elcaraz. Sliced. Tiafo forehand. Again to the back end of Elcaraz. Back in that Tiafo. Again to the Elcaraz back end. Who hits it to the back end of Tiafo. Elcaraz forehand. Inside out. Tiafo just gets it. Into the front of Elcaraz. Tiafo with a slice. Elcaraz with the back end. Again to the back end of Tiafo. Who hits it into the back end of Elcaraz. Drop shot. Tiafo gets it. With a drop shot. Back. No way. Big foe survives. And he looks around like I'm sorry. Is somebody here? Did somebody, somebody here? Didn't realize. Uh, Deuce. That was the longest rally of the match. 19 shots. And Michelle Obama approved. She's like that was pretty good. That was pretty good.  And Tiafo's like, Oh, sorry. Uh, I forgot that you were here, everybody. My bad. Deuce. Okay. The crowd's like, maybe we're witnessing something special. Maybe. Mother flush. Ashley. Whoa, Ashley. Jesus, Ashley. Whoo. Wash your mouth. What's your, what's your mouth, Ashley? Jeez. Mother father. Serve that one to the forehand of Elcaraz. Back and Tiafo is a winner. Big foe gets to advantage. And the crowd are going nuts. Advantage Tiafo to level things up. Three hours and 20 minutes. Almost played. Big foe with a serve. Out wide at the back of Elcaraz. Elcaraz hits it out. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. And Tiafo is like, I think it's my time to do something special. Uh, you wore the goat shirt. You wore the goat hoodie. Channel Serena. And he's saying, let's go. He's telling the crowd. He's like, I've worked all my life for this. And they're all going, we're here. We've got you. All right. Here we go. Elcaraz serves. Elcaraz serves. Five, five. Elcaraz serves. Let's see what he's got. Tiafo just saved a match point. Serving the net. Second serve. The crowd are cheering. Everything that Elcaraz does wrong now. Serve. The back of the Tiafo. He's got energy as he comes into the net. Back in lob. Smash. Tiafo gets it. Back and every Elcaraz is good. Tiafo can't get that. Elcaraz too good. Oh, just when you think, just when you think, Tiafo is on the attack. Elcaraz goes. Get out of here without stop doing that. Stop. Stop. Stop. I love it though from Tiafo. He charged an Elcaraz there. And then Elcaraz went, don't do that. Don't do that. 15 love. 15 love. Again, thank you for subscribing. If you have already, if you haven't already, then I strongly suggest you do or encourage you to as we get a serve down the tee. 30 love. Nice from Elcaraz. Tiafo trying to keep himself upbeat. 30 love. 30 love. And the crowd are trying to, again, get involved. Elcaraz serves. Into the front of Tiafo. Front of Elcaraz. Into the back of the Tiafo. Front of Elcaraz again. To the front of Tiafo on the stretch. Elcaraz. Oh, Tiafo hit it out. Tiafo hit it out. 40 love. 40 love.  Great shot. Nope, it was out. Sorry. Sorry, everybody's out. Sorry. 40 love. Elcaraz.  He is a mental giant. 40 love. He serves the front of Tiafo. That goes out on the return. And Elcaraz gets the 6-5. Elcaraz takes back the lead. Okay. Again, thank you so much for everybody who has subscribed over the whole two weeks. We're down to our last two matches, which is, it's sad because it was the end of the tournament and we've done so much and we've watched so much and we've cheered so much and witnessed some craziness. We still got two matches to go though. Maybe we got some more left in us. Maybe a little bit more, yeah? Is that too much to ask? A little bit more? Two more matches out of nuts? Is that okay? Are we being greedy? Are we being too greedy? Are we asking for too much? No worries, Margot. I'm happy to have all of you here. Elcaraz is a different gravy, I feel, for such a young player. He's built different. He's built different. They programmed him a little bit different when they built him in that lab. You look nervous. Do you want to see our photo win? No, I'm fine. I love a tie break to finish, though. I'm just glad we're not getting a bummed out, nothing set. We're getting, Elcaraz is earning it. He's earning that spot. Never too greedy in tennis, yeah. He's a prodigy. That's what he is. The dude is a freak in the best possible way. Elcaraz's new superstar. He's been a superstar 12 months. Love the energy and passion. I'm from Sierra Leone rooting for TFO because he's originally from there. Yeah, look, Spice Saloon. Saloon. Yeah, he is. His parents are from there. It's just an incredible story from TFO.  Just super, like rags to riches. There's a movie. It is a movie. Can he add to the movie? That's the question. All right, first serves a fold. Second serve. He just saved a match point in the last game. Can he get to the tie break? Served to the back end of Elcaraz. Back enough from TFO. Into the back end of Elcaraz. Down the line is long. 15 love. Elcaraz just over-hitting. Just over-hitting. 15 love. Served in the tee. It's an ace. 30 love. 30 love. Oh, thanks, Dawn. 30 love. TFO. Two points away from the shootout as he serves. Out wide at the front of Elcaraz. Great return. Elcaraz massive return. 30-15. By the way, we're only 90 away from 2,000 likes, so thank you so much, everybody, for that. And I think this is the biggest stream of the tournament so far as we'd have returned now from Elcaraz. That goes in the...  TFO can't believe it. All right, 30-15. First serve again. Elcaraz two... Sorry, TFO. Two points away from the tie break. I should have gone to the toilet earlier. Oh, well, if I jump out of my seat. Interesting. Serve. Out wide. Fault. Second serve. Second serve. Big foe. Serve out wide at the back end of Elcaraz. Back in at TFO. Into the back end of Elcaraz. Back in at TFO. Again to the back end of Elcaraz. Out from Elcaraz. 40-15. Big foe. To get to the tie break and have a shoot out in the fourth. If you don't know what a shootout is, it's what we call... Well, what I call a tie break. A tie break is like a penalty shootout. You know, get a couple of serves each. Bang, bang, bang. Good old shootout. 40-15. Has been a return now from TFO. Down the line. Win up. That's a great shot. Okay. Now I'm not going to play the intro, but tell me in the chat who's going to win this tie break. Who's going to take it? Remember, TFO has not lost a tie break in this entire event. He's won 7-0. Elcaraz has lost all three that he's played. Does that make a difference? I don't know. You tell me. Who's taken the tie break? You tell me. You tell me. Here we go. Big foe has done amazing to make this interesting, considering where he was in the start of his fourth set and how his crowd were reacting as Elcaraz hit the great shot. TFO gets it back. Back enough from TFO. Cross court. Elcaraz volley. TFO with the pass in the net. One love Elcaraz. One love Elcaraz. One zero Elcaraz. A lot of people going with Big foe. A lot of you going Big foe. Big foe did save a match point. Remember that as well. He saved a match point at 5-4. Elcaraz just throws the ball away. Of course I won that point. I'm pretty good at tennis. One love. TFO serves. A fold. Second serve. Second serve. Out wide at the back end of Elcaraz. Elcaraz hits it out. A second serve return. That second serve was 78 miles an hour. The slowest of second serves in Elcaraz just hits it out. A tired return. I mean look, three and a half hours. Elcaraz is tired as TFO serves a fold. And if this goes five sets, the winner of tonight's match is Kasparu. Let's be real. This is the best thing he could have asked for. Return now to the back end of TFO. That goes down the line. Elcaraz with a slice forehand. Just gets it. For when a TFO again to the forehand of Elcaraz. Volley TFO is too good. 2-1 TFO. Huge. Unbelievable. Swinging Volley backhand. Swinging backhand Volley even. Huge hit. TFO 2-1. On serve in the tie break. Big foe is, I mean look, credit. Big credit to Big foe because he looked dead and buried at the start of this third, the fourth set. Was he down like 3-1? He looked out. And he somehow got back as we return now to the forehand of Elcaraz, forehand of TFO into the forehand of Elcaraz down the line. Just wide from Elcaraz. 3-1 Big foe. He gets the break. Mini break to TFO. 3-1. Again, if you are just joining us, welcome as they confirmed that was wide. As I said, Elcaraz was up 3-1 in this set. TFO broke back a couple of times to get back. He was down a break, broke back. Down a break, broke back. And he saved a match point of 5-4. And now we're here as TFO hits the ball in the net on the return. 3-2 TFO. And then he, yeah, 5-4. He saved a match point. Elcaraz this close. As close as Sinner was against him too soon. And now Big foe is four points away from a fifth. Big foe has won every tie break at this US Open he's played. Elcaraz has lost every tie break he has played at this US Open. Does that matter? Probably not. 3-2. TFO serves. A fault. Second serve. Second serve. To the back end of Elcaraz and Elcaraz hits a winner. Off the return. The mini break goes straight back. 3-3. 3-0. And TFO just was not ready. I mean, look, he hit the serve and then he just watched it fly by. Cam, do you really think Casparuca win? Yeah. Rude can beat both these guys. 3-0. 3-3.  Rocking the bootleg TFO out. I mean, I hope, I want to get one. If he gets to the final somehow, TFO, I'm buying one of those shirts. Are they available on Etsy or something? Serving to the final of Elcaraz in the net. 4-3. Not too bad. Great serve from TFO. 4-3. And by the way, I can confirm that this is the biggest match of the tournament so far. 2-2 to go. Again, thank you so much, everybody. Subscribe, like, blah, blah, blah. 4-3. TFO. Elcaraz with the serves. He serves. Out to the back of the TFO. 4-3. Elcaraz. Drop shot is in. Oh, how? How did he get that? TFO, no chance. Elcaraz just, and I think that's Elcaraz's brother who's in the stands and he's just like, oh my God, what are you doing? How are you doing that? How? How? How? How? How'd you do that? Elcaraz is like, because I'm pretty good at tennis. 4-4. Big point here. Elcaraz serves. Out wide. TFO returns into the front of Elcaraz, who hits a winner, throwing the forehand around Elcaraz. 5-4. Elcaraz, 2 points away from the final. 5-4.  She deserves the biggest of promotions. If that's a car or a ring, I don't know what their situation is. First serve is a fault. Second serve. She's the MVP.  Anything. It's just freaking out. Backhand now goes in from TFO to the front of Elcaraz. Elcaraz is wide. Oh, just. Oh, that was close. Elcaraz almost hit another winner. Just goes wide. 5-5. 5-5. As Elcaraz tells the umpire, please tell the crowd to be quiet. It's kind of a big point. 5-4. TFO with the serve. Down the tee. Elcaraz in the net. And it's set point to TFO to take us to a fifth. Remember, he hasn't lost a tie break. The entire US open. Elcaraz has not won a tie break. This entire US open to this point. Elcaraz is serving though. Set point to TFO to take us to the fifth. Hold on to your butts. 6-5. That sounded creepy. Not in a creepy way. It's just a thing that Samuel Jackson said in Jurassic Park. It's a set. People, it's 6-5. Serve. Down the tee to 4 to TFO. 4 now Elcaraz in. Out. It's out. We're going 5. We're going 5. Big 4. Taking us to the fifth. And he's yelling. He's going nuts. Right. We are going 5. Big 4 is going nuts. All right.   Here we go. TFO looked dead and buried. He looked dead and buried. And now we're going all fifth. All right. Match point saved. Fifth set. Let's go. Let's go. Again, don't forget to subscribe as I bite my lip. Oh, that's all right. No blood. Don't forget to subscribe.  I mean, look. He looked out of it. He looked out of it. Jack on crazy. Yep. I can barely read. I'm trying. All right. Let's answer questions. We have been so spoiled with 5 set epics over the last few days involving Elcaraz. Blame him for your lack of sleep. Don't look at me. Blame Elcaraz. He's the one keeping you awake. He's the one who can't.  I mean, blame Carlos for your sleep deprivation.  I'm just the man who's gone nuts. All right. Let's play some donations. We've got a lot of donations coming through. Thank you everybody for donating. Unbelievable. I don't care about what they were saying. I usually say V-A-M-O-O-O-S, but it's 5 a.m. in Paris and I am yelling C-M-O-O-O-O-O-N on the job. So happy for my brother, big foe. Thank you, Vince. You've smashed the streams during this tournament. Bro, hands clapping. Thank you, Nick, for the 25 euro. Appreciate it. All right, everybody. For the 20 euro. Thank you. Appreciate it. All right, everyone. This is what we live for. This is what we watch for. Five sets in a semi-final of the U.S. Open. We got it last year against with Djokovic versus Varev. We get it again this year. We actually got it the year before with Varev versus Karina Buster. And we're getting it again with Tiafo versus Alkaraz. Tiafo to serve first. Who's going to win this set? You tell me in the chat. Who's going to win this set? Thank you, Robert, for the 10. Got a few more donations coming through and then we'll get to it. Ah, Cam was as red as a Scott in the Sydney Sun. Thank you, ships. For the two. Appreciate that. Oh, Medi. Shout out from Paris by the way this set just made up the whole match in terms of excitement. Now we are having fun. Anything goes if this goes to a fifth. Thank you, Vince. Yes, let's see what happens. As Alkaraz wins the first point with a nice forehand winner. Love 15. At this stage, I could give a stuff who wins it. I couldn't care less. Let's see who has the guts. Now, I did say at the start of this match that the longer this match goes, the better for Tiafo. And right now, he's right where he needs it to be in terms of fitness wise with Alkaraz. He's dragged Alkaraz into deep water. Now, can he outlast Alkaraz? Or is he also feeling tired? I mean, you've got to think of that too, right? Find a find now as Alkaraz gets a find into the front of Tiafo. Back in Alkaraz on the stretch, into the front of Tiafo. That's a good shot. Alkaraz gets it, but it goes in the net. 15-all. 15-all. Going to sleep. This match is fixed.  Take the tinfoil hat off, mate. The earth is round. Not a disc. It ain't flat. 15-all. 15-all. Three hours and 40 minutes played. We're going the four hours. We're going four hours.  First serves a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Tiafo to the back end of Alkaraz who puts it in the net. 30-15. Juarez joining us. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Our first set. Let me give you a bit of a recap. First set, Tiafo. Very solid. No breaks of serve. He won the tie break. Very close. Tie break. Second set. Tiafo just completely took the foot off the gas. In fact, the second and third set, he completely took the foot off the gas and Alkaraz destroyed him. Actually went to the bakery in that third set. Then Alkaraz was destroying in the fourth. Three-one. In the fourth, Tiafo found a little bit of energy, a couple of good shots. The crowd got involved and Tiafo saved match point to win the tie break. And now Tiafo is a 30-all in the fifth. That's where we're at. That's where we're at. And again, Alkaraz has not won a tie break in this entire match. Tiafo has not lost a tie break in this entire match. Sorry, Alkaraz has not lost a tie break in this, won a tie break in this entire tournament. Tiafo has not lost a tie break in the entire US Open. If it goes to a tie break, take your pick. As the guy in the blue shirt in the front row of Tiafo's camp got some mysterious powder in a bag, putting it into a drink. He's making a potion.  Has been a foreigner now from Tiafo, into the foreign of Alkaraz, foreigner again from Tiafo, into the foreign of Alkaraz, back in from Tiafo, again to the backhand of Alkaraz, back in the backhand as Alkaraz gets on the stretch. Tiafo in the net, 30-40. 30-40. And Tiafo just giving away the free point and getting real pissed off. At least I like that though. I like that he cares at Tiafo. He looked like he was, he didn't look like he really cared about this match for a couple of sets there. 30-40. All right, everyone's on their feet. Everyone in the, what's that called, the corporate boxes, they're up and about 30-40. As Bigfoot serves a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Out wide, Alkaraz hits a fine return. Back in Tiafo, goes in the net. And Alkaraz breaks. First game of the fifth. First game of the fifth. All right, that's the start. Now remember, Alkaraz was up a break in that set, in that fourth set. LeBron understands, no way. There's no way LeBron's understands. What he went, it came over from LA to go, to watch the tennis. No way. Is LeBron, LeBron's up there? Surely not. I don't think LeBron's there. Again, thank you so much for everybody who subscribed tonight. Again, thank you so much if you are into tennis, you're a tennis fan. We watch tennis all year round. So this might be the first time you're here and you haven't subscribed yet and you're wondering whether or not it's worth it. Just ask the people in the chat and they might say no. But I say yes. Anyways, return now to the back end of Alkaraz, back end of Tiafo, into the back end of Alkaraz, sliced to the forehand of Tiafo, back end now from Alkaraz to the back end of Tiafo, to the forehand of Alkaraz, who puts it wide. Love 15. Love 15. Almost four hours. Almost. Alkaraz is like playing after midnight. I don't know what it is. He's just a psycho. He doesn't like playing. He likes to win after midnight. That's why he didn't win that set. It's a thing. I'll take off my tinfoil hat right now, okay? That goes wide from Tiafo and it's unbelievable. Alkaraz, 15-all. LeBron who? LeBron James. He's in that space jam movie, you know? LeBron James, the actor. 15-all. 15-all. And Alkaraz serves with the break in the fifth. Now, this is, I don't want to, I won't say it. 15-all. I'll wait and see. Serve. Out wide to the forehand of Tiafo, forehand from Alkaraz, into the back end of Tiafo, to the back end of Alkaraz. That goes to the back end of Tiafo. And Tiafo hits it out. 30-15. 30-15. Alkaraz looking for that. Too lovely. Now, Alkaraz played a five-setter against Chilich. He played a five-setter against Sinner and he's playing a five-setter now. And we haven't even made the final. So, unless this guy is made of machine, someone's got to give as he hits a slice. Now, to the forehand from Tiafo, to the back end of Alkaraz. Alkaraz in the net, 30-all. 30-all. 30-all. Okay, so what I was going to say was Sinner had the same kind of deal, right? He was up a set match point, you know, blah, blah, blah. And he was up a break in the fifth and then Alkaraz came back to beat him. I'm just saying that that's what happened with Sinner and Alkaraz is in that position now and didn't go so well for Sinner. So what's up? As we get a fault, second serve.  Just saying. Just saying. 30-all. Served to the back end of Tiafo. He comes after it and Alkaraz passes him anyway. 40-30. I like that from Tiafo, but Alkaraz too good. I don't know. 40-30. Lovely shot, Alkaraz. Just smacked it down. That was a wrapper shot. That looked like wrapper. Just without the long hair and the pirate shorts and the headband and the sleeveless ship. It was a wrapper shot. 40-30. Serve is a let. Is that smacked Tiafo on the upper thigh? 40-30. First serve again. Alkaraz serves to the back end of Tiafo. Tiafo in the net. Two love. Two love, Alkaraz. In the fifth, Chris Fowler just said the exact same thing. That's because ESPN listened to the show. Two love. That's because ESPN have our stream going and they're like, okay, pass this on to Chris. Yeah, yeah. Tennis Talk just said this. Tennis Talk chat. They take stuff from you two guys. They're watching. Wave. Wave to ESPN, everybody. Hey, hello. Hi. Hi. Everybody, wave to ESPN. Back end to back end rally as we get a back end from Tiafo down the line. Good shot. Alkaraz gets it, but it's in the net. 15 love. 15 love. That's the hello. Hi ESPN. We see you. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hi. 15 love. Pass it over to Brad Gilbert, who is very, very good. 15 love. Serve it wide at the back end of Alkaraz. Four net from Tiafo to the slice of Alkaraz. To the slice of Tiafo. Alkaraz, four-end slice. Into the four-net Tiafo again at the back end of Alkaraz. Back in from Tiafo again to the four-net Alkaraz. Back in at Tiafo, to the back end of Alkaraz. Sliced. Tiafo doing the attacking as Alkaraz goes cross-court the four-hand to four-hand as Tiafo picks up the pace and hits a good shot. 30 love. 30 love. Big foe sticking around. Michelle Obama on the big screen as she looks as nervous as I think she's allowed to look. 30 love. Louise, look, if they send a contract I'll read it. 30 love. As we had an ace there from Tiafo. 40 love. Silly comments. All right, big serve down the tee. 40 love. Big foe to get on the board. We're going around the courts after this because I need to refill my water bottle. Back in the net from Alkaraz and Tiafo gets on the board in the fifth. All right, let's go around the courts because we had doubles and the other singles match today. Okay, here we go. Alkaraz fifth set with the break. Casperud plays the winner. Who will he play? That is a question. Alkaraz had a match point in the fourth set. And here we are. Who is going to play Casperud? Serve in the four-hand of Alkaraz. I've fallen from Tiafo to the four-hand of Alkaraz to the volley of Alkaraz in the net. What happened there? Love 15. Love 15. And what's the time? What have we got? Almost four hours. Again, almost four hours for Alkaraz. Serve to the four-hand of Tiafo. Back in our Alkaraz is shaped wide. Okay. Big foe. Love 30. What did I say about the center match? What did I say? I know I shouldn't have said it. What did I say? Don't get me Alkaraz fans. I'm sorry. Love 30. Love 30. How long can Alkaraz survive as he serves? Out wide at the four-hand of Tiafo. Four-hand of Alkaraz down the line. Tiafo with the backhand. Alkaraz's four-hand is a winner. Tiafo watches it go by. 15-30. 15-30. Juan Casarero is thinking about what to say next. Serve is a fault. 15-30. Second serve. Second serve, Alkaraz. Big chance for big foe. Second serve in the back end of Tiafo. Back in Alkaraz. The back end of Tiafo. And Tiafo hits it wide. 30-all. 30-all. Let me know in the chat what time is it in your world? What time are you watching this match? What is the time in your world? It's 1.30 in the afternoon in my country. Where are you watching from? What time is it? Serve to the back end of Tiafo. Back in Alkaraz is in the net. Breakback point for big foe to get back on serve in this set. The final set. A lot of people with 10.30 p.m. A lot of Americans in the chat. 9 a.m. in India. Nice. 5.30 in the morning. Jesus. Poland rip. Oh, that's right. Just sleep all day. It's Saturday. Just sleep all day. It's Saturday. 30-40. By the way, simply grace, thank you so much for the donation. We'll play it after this. 30-40. Serve out wide at the back end of Tiafo. Good return. Winner. We're back on serve. 2-2 in the fifth. Tiafo strikes back. And his girlfriend loves it. So does Michelle Obama. Let's go. Could we have two African finalists? Thank you, simply grace for the 10. Well, yeah, I mean, we've got Oscar Burr already in there, haven't we? So in Tiafo, well, his parents are originally from Sierra Leone. It could quite happen. Was he born there? Or was he born in America? No, that's Alkaraz. I was going to say Tiafo was born in Spain. Well, that's Alkaraz, a prison button. But yeah, I mean, look, Tiafo is born in America, but he has mentioned his parents are from Sierra Leone. So yeah, I guess you could say that. But he's American. All the Americans are going to go, he's American. He's out. But his parents, look, he is proud of his heritage.  And what an episode for the Netflix series.  Love 15. They'll do a whole Tiafo episode if he wins the trophy or even gets to the final. They'll tell his story. I mean, yeah, this is like, this would be one of the, one of the big ones. Yeah, Jabez, Jabez from Africa. North. Four and a four now as we get a slice volley there from Alkaraz, from Tiafo, up goes the love from Alkaraz. And it goes in from Alkaraz. That's a beautiful lob. Love 30. And Alkaraz doing the just nodding. Just, yep, I can do that. Love 30. Yeah, Tiafo was born in Maryland. I knew when I read that comment, I was like, oh, you know, he is American. Nice lob there from Alkaraz. Okay, love 30. That's Tiafo. So it's a fault. He's worked his butt off Tiafo to get back in this fifth set, even just to get back in the match. Second serve to the fawn of Alkaraz, fawn of Tiafo. It's wide. Love 40. Unbelievable. Love 40. And Tiafo is getting real animated. Tell you what, Alkaraz has got some hype men. Tiafo needs some of them. He needs some hype men in the, besides his girlfriend. She's hyping him up. She, he needs some hype men. Alkaraz got them in spades. Maybe he should just trade. Give him a hype man. Something so greedy. First there's a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Double fault. Alkaraz gets a break like that. And Alkaraz is talking to his, talking to his camp saying, let's keep going. Let's keep going. All right. Tiafo's girlfriend on her feet. Love to see that. They need cheerleaders. Yeah. Tiafo needs some cheerleaders. Okay. All right. Let me try and answer the chat. Simply Grace is African. I should have said African heritage in my bag. No, it's all right. Simply Grace. That's all right. That's all right. You didn't say anything out of school. That's all good. Look, you won't, I'm sure if Tiafo makes the final, his story will be played over and over and over again. So for sure you, you know, you're not saying anything that won't be, won't be mentioned for sure over the next couple of days. If he makes the final. I worked in Sierra Leone after the war. Those guys had it hard. Real spirit. Yeah, there you go. Tiafo's terrible first serve is a damage. Yeah.  Yeah, it's been about 40 in the forties all day. You know, so much respect for Elkress. He never gives up. Yeah. Look, Elkress is body and again, it's four hours played by the way. His body is clearly tired. I mean, if you're watching play tonight, he hasn't got the same. He's played some of ridiculous shots, but he hasn't got the same buzz as he usually does, right? You know, he's hit 54 winners, but 35 errors. And that's because he is tired.  His mind is, is, is not tired. His body might be tired, but his head, his mind, not at all. And that's the scary part. Body says no, mind says get stuffed. Three, two, Elkress serves down to the back of Tiafo. Back in Elkress, the winner. Tiafo not even there. 15 love, 15 love, 15 love. Elkress up to love. If you're just joining us, he was up to love. Served the back end of Tiafo, for now, Kras into the back end of Tiafo. For now from Elkress, the 400 Tiafo. For now from Elkress down the line is good. Tiafo with a slice gets it. Elkress, forehand. Again, the 400 Tiafo who puts it in the net. 30 love, 30 love. Who deserves to win? They both do. I mean, it's a coin flip. Once we got to the final set, like I said, all I wanted was five and we got it. I couldn't give a stuff who wins it. They both deserve it. It would be a great story for both. Tiafo's story, we all know how inspirational it is. Elkress getting to the final, playing against Rude for the world number one would be insane too, you know? So history made. No matter what happens from now on, as we had a fight from Elkress and that goes in 40 love. Tiafo running out of gas. Well, he's running ragged, I should say that. He's going side to side, going nuts. And Elkress just a beast. Just a beast. You can tell they're related to Elkress, those two guys, his brother and his dad, because of the hairline. Their hair is exactly the same, thick hair. The hairline is identical. As we had a back end, a back end rally. Now from Tiafo, down to the 400 Elkress, but Tiafo hits it out, four to Elkress in the final set, four to Elkress. Now, does big foe have anything left? Does big foe have anything left? He came back, he came back in the fourth set. Well, Elkress has only ever lost one five set match, so just put that into perspective. Seven wins, five loss, one loss. Elkress in five, always. Dude doesn't know how to lose five sets. He only lost to Baratini this year in five. It's a beastly stat. But can Tiafo come back? Has he got one last thing? One last push. Has been a four to four end rally. That goes into the four of Elkress and Elkress puts it away. My hair looks the same as them. Well, that's because I'm an Elkress. Jokes on everybody. My name is actually Cam Elkress. True story. Or maybe not. All right. I love 15. My hairline is the hairline of a Williams. Love 15. Serve to the back end of Elkress. Back end of Tiafo. Doesn't need to be hit. Elkress hits it out. 15 all. And again, Tiafo's girlfriend, the only one on her feet. Nobody else is standing up by that lady. Something special because she deserves for the support. Every point she's up. The only one. Well, they all sit there with their crossed arms and their sour grapes. There's all pissing.  Fifth set of a five. Anyways, whatever. 15 all. I digress. I'm ranting. Sorry. I'm an old man shouting at clouds as we're going to return to the four end of Elkress. That's a good four end from Tiafo. 30 15. 30 15. Lovely from Big Fo. And that's how he beat Rafa. Shots like that. That's how he beat Rafa. 30 15. Another race down the T. Bang. Lovely from Big Fo. 40 15. Again, the girlfriend on her feet as we had to serve now. 40 15. Serve is a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Serve into the back end of Elkress. Back end of Tiafo is long. 40 30. 40 30. Still a chance for Big Fo to just hang around. Stay in touch. That's a very close up of a random man's face. Actually, no, it's in the box of Tiafo. That's a very, you can tell they're on the camera because they're like, they look at the screen. Oh, that's me. I'm on the screen. Must be so off-putting. First serve is a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Double fault. Okay. Deuce. You're obsessed with his girlfriend. Nope. The cameraman is obsessed with his girlfriend. I'm just reporting it. So I tell you what I see and all I see is his girlfriend because the camera person is fixated on her. So don't yell at me. Don't tell me what I'm obsessed with. I'm obsessed with tennis. Serve is a fault. Second serve. Second serve to the front of Elkress. Back end of Tiafo. Into the back end of Elkress and Elkress hits it out. Advantage big foe. Advantage big foe. As he just tries to stay around a little bit longer. Big foe with the advantage to make Carlos sweat. As he serves again to the back end now at Tiafo. Back enough from Elkress. The back end of Tiafo. The back end of Elkress. Back enough Tiafo down the line. Good shot. Tiafo now with the forehand is wide. Elkress did good defense and Tiafo just couldn't quite make the final shot. Deuce. Huge game here. This is the game. This is the huge game. Deuce. This will be make or break. Two breaks a serve. Call it. Deuce. Tiafo serves the front of Elkress and Elkress hits it in the net. Big foe with a big serve again. Advantage Tiafo. Again just trying to stay in touch. People are falling asleep. Wake up. Wake up. Oh my god. What are you doing? How are you asleep? How are you asleep? You spent like a million dollars on the ticket and you sleep.  Oh my god. Wake up. That is insane. How are you asleep? Serve. Damn it's here. The front of Elkress. Elkress hits it out. Tiafo survives. Tiafo survives. Big foe hangs around. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. I don't care about what I was saying. Your commentary beats every commenters. I've listened to English, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. Nothing compares. Love from Norway. Hey, thank you. Ask Nick for the nice words and the donation. Thank you for the five. Appreciate that. All right. Let's answer questions. Needs a break here. Yep. You get this. Varmus Algras. Varmus Carlitos. If you're sleeping a match, then you should lose your seat. Yep. You should be ejected.  See you up. No sleeping here. Just an ejection button. And out you go. Who in the crowd? Who's the crowd rooting for? Tiafo. Tiafo. They're still American. The end of the day. I should not be up now. Come on Elkress. It's one o'clock in the afternoon in Sydney. Yep. Hey, what's up, Joe? Yeah, what a slugfest, yeah. This is the best case scenario for Roode. This is the best thing that Roode could have asked for. A four-hour epic between the two guys he's got to play. And he won in about three hours. So he got through pretty easily considering. So Roode has got the best chance of winning a US Open no matter who he plays because of this. Let's get back to the match. Again, thank you so much everybody for showing the love. We're almost at 111,000 subs, so don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already. 15 love. Elkress two games away from the final. He had match point in the fourth. But he might just get it done anyways. Unless big foe can do something nuts. People fall asleep in the stands. I don't know if that should be allowed. I didn't know. I was just holding my breath. Serve out wide at the back end of Tiafo. Back end Elkress. The back end of Tiafo. Back end Elkress. Sliced into the fourth of Tiafo who puts it wide. 30 love. Six points away. Six points away. Can Elkaraz finish the job? Finally finish the job. Took him a little bit longer than he would have expected or would have liked. One extra set, but he serves. Served to the fourth of Tiafo. Tiafo on the ground. 40 love. Zap. Gotcha. Zap. Gotcha. 40 love. 40 love. We're almost at 3,000 likes by the way. Again, thank you so much for showing the love. Biggest match of the tournament so far. Return now from Tiafo. Good return. Elkress gets it with a drop shot. Tiafo is there with the back hand, but he hits it out. 5-3. 5-3. Big 4. Sorry. Elkress, one point away. One game away. Jesus Christ. One game away. Elkaraz. Tiafo serves to stay in the championships and to play. I'm sure Obama is still there by the way. Elkress, one game away from that rude match that has one big slam on the line, but also one huge ranking on the line, too. It'll be the winner of the slam is number one. I'm so excited. I'm excited. Served to the 400 Elkaraz. 400 Tiafo. Again, to the 400 Elkaraz. Back in there from Big 4. Cross court at the back end of Elkaraz. Back in there from Tiafo. Down the line. Elkress gets it with a forehand. 400 forehand now. Elkress on the stretch. Tiafo. Four and again. It goes wide. Love 15. Love 15. Three points away from that rude match. Final is going to be crazy. Yep. And get this. If Elkress wins this match, we are going to have a one versus two battle. They might not be one versus two today, but on the live rankings, they'll be one versus two. If you don't take Jabir, one versus two. As of Monday, Elkress rude will be one versus two. So we're going to get the two best players according to the rankings play each other in the finals. Who can ask for more? Love 30. As we get another big four in there from Big 4, and it goes long. Love 30. Love 30. They're trying to, they're trying to pump him up. They're trying to pump him up. Elkress is dead. I mean, he looks like he's, no, he doesn't know. He looks just like, he's just hanging out really. He just looks so chill. Now we know where Carlos gets it from. Love 30. Two points away. Serve up by the 400 of Elkress. 400 of Big 4. Down the line is good. Elkress with a pass. Four in there from Tiafo. Up goes the lob from Elkress. And it's in! Elkress with a lob winner. Love 40. Match points. Three of them. This is going to be our finish to you. Huge lob from Elkress. And Tiafo just watched it. He's like, oh yeah. Oh well. Too good. Just too good. Again, don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already. We're going to be back for the final in two days time. Ladies tomorrow, men's on Sunday. I'll see you then. Love 40. Tiafo serves. Down the tee and ace. He saves one. He saves one. 15-40. 15-40. And we're going to have probably the best case scenario with the final as well. The person who wins will be number one in the world. The best case scenario. 15-40. Match point again. Serve. Tiafo is a fault. Second serve. Second serve. Second serve, Tiafo. To the front of Elkress. Back in at Tiafo is, oh Tiafo, let it go and it went out just. Just went out. 30-40. He saves again. 30-40. Elkress just missed that. Okay. Still match point. Elkress to get to the final. Tiafo serves.  Elkress with the front again to the back of Tiafo. And the net. Elkress is going to the final. One versus two. His third five center in a row. And he somehow gets the job done again. And look, big four. What a tournament. He beats Rafa. And they hug it out of the net. But it was Elkress who mentally just had a little bit more. Man, oh man. And we're going to have a fire final. The winner will be world number one. Oh man. And look, great tournament from Big Five, but he'll learn. Unfortunately, some of the lessons learned are the hardest times. And he should have done better in the second and third. He'll watch the tape and he'll watch himself just kind of fall off. He left it too late. And Elkress was like, I'll take all your three points. I'm happy. I'm happy to take three points. Don't worry about it. One versus two. Rude versus Elkress. Champion. US Open. One in the world. That's what they're playing for. The stakes couldn't be higher. It couldn't be higher. Don't forget to subscribe. We're sticking around. We're not going anywhere. We're going to stay around for a little bit. If you're not leaving us, don't forget to subscribe. Like the video on the way out. I'll see you guys on Sunday, but we're sticking around. We're going to stick around because we have a lot to hang around and talk about and discuss. But man, oh man, want to win five sets of Carlos Elkress's thing. Sound like I need to rest my voice? No, what are you talking about? I sound totally fine. This is how I normally speak. I sound fine. I feel fine. Everything's fine. Don't even worry about it. Don't even talk about it. What a game, yeah. Elkress has spoiled us this tournament. I mean, he's given us some of the best matches of the year, you know? No worries. We'll see you on Friday, on Sunday. If you're not leaving, if you're leaving now, we'll see you on Sunday. Greatest of all time. It's not good. Elkara's always. Hey, Magdalena. Can he do it again? Can he do it again? That is the question. Has he got one more left in him? Has he got one more? No worries. We'll see. We'll stick around for a little bit longer. Not too much because I do need to prepare for the finals tomorrow or the final tomorrow with the women. But yeah, women's final 4-bm local time. 6am for you, Cam. Will you be here? Dan, of course. What kind of a question is that? 6am? I mean, that's early. I mean, that's late. That's a sleeping for me. If you're an American tennis player, you might as well retire. Okay, well, you know, are you American? Is that coming from an American or are you just like some salty, I don't know, foreigner who doesn't like Americans? Because that sounds like an American wouldn't say that. So I feel like maybe you're just a disliker American, I don't know. I don't know. Best outcome for Rude? Exactly. If you're a Casper of Rude fan, yes, Elkara's is scary. But this is the best case. This is the best case scenario. Natalie, who said that? Name names will ban them straight up because if Dawn must have missed it, the chat was on fire. So if anyone said that, that person is going to get sent to the moon. We're going to slingshot that person into space. So name names, and I will be happy to ban that person because that is not cool. In fact, it is disgraceful. Do you think, do you sleep during the day after the matches is done and wake up at midnight? Pretty much, yeah. And I'll stay up all night to watch. That's me. No worries, Elizabeth. That's why we love best of five. Exactly, Monica. That's why best of five. And how good would it be if the women did it to ladies finals for five sets? Let's go. Five set final for ladies, too. Let's go. Let's get it.   You must be new. Welcome to tennis. This is our favorite sport. If you think TRFO is the worst, you must have just started watching because you ain't seen nothing. All right. Yeah, what a game. What a match. Why would they interview the loser on court? Because Big Fights, it's America.   Carlos is one of the toughest shot maker I've seen.  He continues to make everybody look silly, including me. It's getting to the point now where I'm like, we're talking like, don't doubt Alcoraz. Like, we know how with Rafa, whenever we see Rafa or Nole, down two sets of love, and we're like, oh, yeah, don't doubt Rafa. If anyone's going to come back, it's Rafa. If anyone's going to come back, it's Nole. We're starting to get to the point now where it's like, if it goes to a fifth, Alcoraz wins all the time. There's not like, it has to be, Alcoraz is winning. There's not even a conversation. It's like, well, give me a reason why just because it's because he's getting to that point where if he gets to a fifth, just give him the match. Like it's, it's, it's not even a fair fight. Thank you, Cornelia. I appreciate it. World number one and the Alvaca nickname on the line. Oh, Greg's. I know if Alcoraz wins, we can never call him Alvaca again.  I promise that if we want to slam, we wouldn't call him Alvaca. Mancow would be retired. We're retired the nickname Mancow out of respect because he won a slam. So that name is about to go out of style. We're about to retire that name and we're about to put the jersey up in the back here of the studio. RIP Alvaca. The name. No worries, Mark. Appreciate the love. There's no way he's winning on Sunday. He'll be completely stuffed. I mean, maybe. At this point, I don't even know. I don't even know what Alcoraz made of. The dude's made of something that's not human. The dude's got, I don't know, vibranium in his, in his bones. I don't even know. The dude is just an absolute machine. How is he still walking around after five set, three, five sets in a row, two day, one day apart? How? How is this guy still alive? When was the last time Nolei Raffer and Federer were not number one? When Murray, Murray would have, when Murray was number one. 2016, I think. 2016. Thanks. No worries, DJ. We'll see you later, mate. Baby Raffer. Don't say that. The guys on the moon now. Thank you. Do you want to appreciate it? Yep. That person is not welcome here. They can leave and never come back. By the way, we're almost at 110.5. Thank you so much again for hanging out.  You're welcome any time. Appreciate the love as, as always. The legend at 19, like Becker at 17. Yeah. And remember, if Elgar's wins on Sunday, he will become the youngest world number one of all time on the ATP. He will take Leighton Hewitt's record of youngest world number one. Yeah. No worries, Lexi. The final is going to be a banger. Yeah. The final is going to be epic. What time is the ladies final? It's 4pm local time. So whatever that is in your world, adjust accordingly. Elgar's looks like he could play another 10 hours. I know that's what's scary about him. Yep. So currently the live ranking show, it shows that Elgar's is one. Root is two. Nadal is three. So whoever wins on Sunday will be one. And whoever loses on Sunday will be two. And Raffael will be three. So that is the rankings. I love it. Alive rankings on the final day of a slam. I mean, it's rare that we get to this point, but we're here. I can't believe it. No worries, Isabella. Awesome stream. Yeah, we'll thank Elgar's for that and Tiafo because they were the ones. You got Tiafo in five and I said Elgar is in four. Hey, look, it was, uh, I was happy to be wrong.  Just saying. All those people being like, Oh, look, can't pick. Okay, I picked five sets. I got half a point. All those people who don't make predictions and sit in the dark shadows and pretend like they're no more. It's all right. What was your prediction? I'm sorry, where were you at the start of the day?   Thank you. You guys are the weird ones. All those, all those people hiding in the shadows. Oh, you said, you said Tiafo in five and it was only, it was Elgar is in five. All right. So I almost got it right. What did you pick? I'm sorry. Oh, you didn't pick anything because you don't have the guts. Oh, okay. Yeah. So you don't have to. Oh, yeah. Okay. That's what I thought. Just sit down, sit in the corner. Don't make predictions. Just go over there. Root is freaking out right now. Elk is unstoppable. Root's probably asleep. But I think this is the best case scenario for Casper Root. If you're ever going to get Elk or has get him after three, five centers. Exactly. Sit down and relax. Exactly. Just chill out.  All right. Keep the predictions to the people in the chat. Interesting voices. Yeah, that was my high-pitched voice that clearly doesn't work at the moment. Well, Elk or has emulate Rafa and win his first slam at 19. He has a very good chance. He could do it. When's Federer coming back? Hopefully, lay the cup in a couple of weeks or in a week. Elk is in five. Okay. Root is such a good boy. Of course, he's asleep.   That's Ken's Mrs. Sausage voice. That was a creepy enough for Mrs. Sausage.  Who's that? Let me zap him. Where are you? Where are you? Where's the Spammer? Did Doran zap them? Things Doran got him. No worries, CT. We'll see you soon. I'll miss the finals. I have a concert. No, Nancy, you can't miss the finals. All right, we'll see you after. Have a good time at your concert. See you later, Doran, mate. You're savage. Enjoy your sleeping or sleep. This final is going to be lit. I know, Pete. It's going to be lit. It's going to be lit. Kyle's not doing good in tie breaks. Yeah. So best case scenario, Root plays five tie breaks and wins them all, or three tie breaks wins them all. We're going to sign off in about five minutes. So, I'll let you all get to sleep soon. Oh, wow, five sets. Yep, five sets. And I can confirm this is the biggest match of the tournament so far. So, again, thank you so much. We'll keep you on as commentator in the finale slightly smiling face. Thank you, Arsenic. Appreciate that. I'm excited for the final. It's going to be fun. But yeah, this has been the biggest match of the tournament.  So, thank you, everybody. Very, very, that's, I mean, yeah. It's very humbling. What a legend. Legendary couple of days. Oh, yeah. We've had so many crazy matches this second half of the tournament. No raise, eight. We'll see you soon. Yeah, Friday night lights.   I mean, that fourth set before he started lifting, it was not, it didn't look good. He was looking like he was going to go out with a whimper. But at least he went out with a bang and made it, made him, you know, and worked, made Elkhraus work for it. That's all we wanted. That's all I wanted, anyway. No raise, Nelson. Thanks, mate. How do I decompress after a match like that? I drink some tea and I watch some, I'm going to actually record some videos after this, but I'll just, I'll just chill. Watch some YouTube and that's all. Might have a snack.  I'll eat something. I'm out of respect for all the players this week. Yeah, it's been brutal. Some of the tournaments, some of the matches this week. Last year had so many five-setters. This year had almost half. Yeah, Pat, mate, it was crazy last year that man had five-setters, but we're getting the five-setters at the end here and when it matters, when we want them. You made me love tennis again. Oh, nice. I'm so happy about that. That's so good to hear. I'm so glad I got you back in. We had 14k at one point. I mean, maybe.  Your wish has been granted. Ones versus Eager and Carlos versus Casper in the finals. Yep, 1v2. 1v2. If you look at the live rankings, 1 versus, actually we'll do that now and then we'll leave. We'll do that now and then we'll go because I want to show you guys just what we're seeing in the next couple of days. Here it is. 1 versus 2 tomorrow. The best two players of the season in the final of the ladies tomorrow. 1 versus 2. Wimbledon finalist versus French Open champion to play for the US Open. So the two best players on the planet will be fighting it out and then on the men's side, 1 versus 2. Now maybe you think Ralph is the best player on the planet. I agree. I agree, but it's 1v2. The champion becomes the number one. Whoever wins this match. So it's 1v2 as of Monday.  So even if it's going to be a career high ranking for both these guys, crazy. So crazy. So crazy. What a great way to end of the summer. Yeah, for sure. Jabir versus Shriyantek fab final. Yep, sure is. Going to Buxana for Emma Doyle's How to Be a Great Tennis Coach on Sunday. Oh no, she's an Australian coach, right? I don't know who that is. How is Djokovic so low? We all know he's number one. Well, I mean, because he didn't play two slams and he lost all the points from Wimbledon. So zero. He lost 6,000 points. Almost. Combined. No worries. Zahra. Zahra. I'm so sorry, I butchered that. Thank you. Nadal needs one master's to take over. Yeah. But look, water coulda shoulda. Djokovic should be number one because he blah, blah, blah. No, he didn't play, didn't get vaccinated, didn't play. He's not number one. Ravish should be number one because of Wimbledon points. Again, that's not Alkares and Roots problem. Take it up with Wimbledon. You know, this is the rankings, like it or not, this is the rankings. So I don't want to hear anyone saying unworthy, asterisks, blah, blah, blah. These are the rankings because this is what happened this year. Take it up with Djokovic while he didn't get vaccinated. Take it up with Wimbledon while they banned Russians. That is why the rankings are this way. If you don't like it, don't blame the players. Blame the, well, point your frustrations in the right direction. Kasparud and Alkares are just winning. It's not their fault. Take it up with them. Take it up with the managers, all right, Karen?  You know, complain to the manager. Last questions, then I'm out. I'm leaving, and then I'll come back. I'm going to give you some food. Starving. Ken Once, whoa. Great stream. Cheers. No worries, ship. Appreciate it. Thank you for the two. Glad you enjoyed. In Great Britain, go have a sleep. Carlos is doing what the next generation should have done years ago. Agree. Alkares is showing how you are supposed to win. How are you supposed to play next-gen? That's how he's showing us. He's showing Sidney Patton's Varev and all the others, how it's done. Rublev showing how it's done. It's always rude, though. So it's rude. They're showing how it's done. Do I think that Kaspar could win Wimbledon one day? No. I don't think Wimbledon's going to be in his trophy cabinet at the moment. He might change his game, but I think Wimbledon will be the toughest one. But everything else is up for grabs. He's very similar to Dominic Teem. Teem has made three finals of slams on three different places, French Open, US Open, Australian Open, and Kaspar could do that. He could make it to every slam final, except Wimbledon. I don't think Wimbledon's going to be a little stretch for him, I think. All right. I'm out of here. See you later, guys. Thank you so much for hanging out. If you haven't subscribed, feel free to on the way out. Make sure you join us for the finals tomorrow. We've got two matches left. Where have you got two matches left? I just want things to sound to get good. Two matches to go. Women's final tomorrow, men's final on Sunday. Book your ... set your alarms, whatever you do. Get ready. We'll be back tomorrow for the ladies final of the US Open. And then, of course, the men's final in a couple of days' time. Alcors wins another five-setter to get to his first grand slam final. He takes out Tiafo 6763, 6163, sorry, 6763, 616763. He's into the final. He plays rude on Sunday.
