Friends, hello everyone. This is Hardcore. Here They talk about tennis without unnecessary curtsies. Today we are discussing the Australian Open, first grand slam tournament of the season. AND I proudly present to you Olympic champion, two-time Grand Slam tournament finalist. A woman who has elegance easily gets along with a tough position. Elena Dementieva. Hello, Anya. Yes, hello. And let's move on. Olympic champion, the first Russian Grand Slam tournament winner, a man who beat everyone but Always. Evgeny Kapelnikov. Anyuta, yes, I will hug you. Oh my god, Eugene, We missed you. Let's you passed, yes, you were without the last broadcast us, but you, we are glad that you are back. Yes, and I am also very glad to be with you. A Today we have a special edition and special guest, tournament winner ATP, Davis Cup and Cup winner Hopman, the man with whom Arina Sabalenka would have definitely beaten Nick Kyrios in the battle of the sexes. Dmitry Tursunov. Everything is correct. Yes, I also participated in the Olympics games, but I never won them. The main thing is participation, right? Agree. Well, actually very It was nice because I knew that I It's hard with such two charming ones blondes. Wait, I've already decided on the third one. that's why I got drunk help, yes, and Dima, Dima did not refuse, Friends. Well, me too, Anya Vasilyeva, yes, me returned. I saw the comments and those, where you wrote that you were waiting, and those where, Let's say we were waiting, but not for very long. But you keep writing. We really are everything we read. And don't forget to like this video. Ah, well, let's go Let's begin. Let's start right away with discussions of our ambassadors, more precisely Ambassador Koryan Khachanov. And his performance. What do you say in general? Are you satisfied with it? Listen, he's a great guy. First match in difficult for myself such, well, as it seems to me, not so simple first round, you know? He beat Mikhelson, whom he last year lost. He beat him, that's why so the five-set match was tough. AND Today Karen won his match already second round. He made it to the third round, so well done. Honor and praise, I hope, will continue to do so. Well, it's very interesting psychologically, How Karen prepared for this first first round match. Really the situation is repeated, some kind of flashback and How to do this so that it doesn't get pinched. Interesting, that here he is, uh, how he prepared. Dmitry, do you have any? any guesses on this matter? Well, actually, this happens a lot on helmets. It happens when a player is seemingly unseeded plays against you, but in fact quite dangerous. And Mikilson is just Here is one of those players who won there. and tournaments, and in general promising an American who is very very it's not easy, so in general, in basically, the first round of any tournament The helmet is particularly difficult. And here too eh, actually it's really cool that Karens handled it. AND it's obvious that he's playing with in the second round BSV Reidy, who is also very difficult rival, but here it is much more confident victory. I think that in that This is thanks to the fact that he already encountered these difficulties in the first circle. And this, well, is what we need to prepare for, Well, except for a very tough match. you can't, that is, you can't go out there, to understand, to think that you are sown there, That means you have to beat someone. This no longer works with such players. With any not just plays there, including there's that same Cilic now, seemingly out of nowhere, but already beat Shpovalo in three sets, that's why there are quite a lot of such matches helmets, especially in the men's mesh. Well, after all, Karena seems to I was a bit hesitant at first because the first one He lost the set, and then somehow he pulled myself together. Well, you know, it seems to me, out of all the guys It was especially exciting for him. Even not because he met in the first circle with an opponent to whom he lost in Australia last year. After all, a year is a long period. time, yes, and much has already been forgotten there. And I think it has more to do with the fact that he didn't finish the season so successfully I spent it and played out in front of He didn't have the opportunity to visit Australia, Yes, in singles he lost right away start. And this is the absence of gaming practice, it cannot but have an impact. So I think he was it's really very exciting and It's not easy, but he was able to do it himself overcome, win this difficult match, This is, of course, a very big plus. AND now he, having retained all his strength with last year, we hope, yes, and will show a worthy performance in this year at the Australian Open. Well, the statistics were in favor of Karen in any case. case. He made it to the third round, just like Roger Federer. That is, they are there. equaled for 8 years in a row they came out in third round at the Australian Open. This, It probably says something. Well, no, well, of course there won't be any statistics. will not deceive in any way. This a brilliant result because, well, no Not everyone can boast of this with such results, going into third place there circle. And win two matches in the tournament Grand Slam five-setters, that's it it's a really big deal, it's huge efforts, this is titanic work. And, well, I can only be happy for our guys, because Daniil, Andrei Rublev and Karen, they are, frankly speaking, already like that, if a little there to return there in memory and remember, when was the last time that all the three of us made it to the third round there Grand Slam tournament, I honestly I don't remember. That's why, that's why with this points of view really guys Well done. Surely this is a consequence that very good work was done work in the off-season, there is preparatory work it was a normal period, so we were very We are glad, we will really root for them. U We have something truly special today studio, because we have the opportunity ask Karen directly right now, How, actually, did he prepare and what he used psychological techniques in order to win anyway Mickelson and how he will be in general continue preparing. Karen, hi. You us do you hear? Hello. Do you see? Hi all. Hello everyone from sunny Melbourne. How much time do you have there, by the way? Here We were probably already discussing sleeping you will lay down. We have it on No, well, we still have to sleep Not yet. We're going to dinner. We have It's 8:45 in the evening now. Well 8:00 more than Bon appétit in advance. Tell, Please, we are discussing this here. this first circle. For sure It was psychologically difficult to get on Mickelson. Last year you were with him played, lost. How did you prepare yourself? And this is what allowed you to overcome some, perhaps, psychological some kind of internal clamps? And were there any? they at all? Maybe you're even talking about didn't think about that? And I have classic matches of five sets, that's why I only go to them I'm getting ready. There is no point in me preparing into three sets. This is generally, one can say, ideal layout if such matches they work out. Because, as he says statistics, it seems to me, are on all helmets I play mostly, uh, long matches. But This means that you are healthy. more than enough physical fitness great because just now, literally, we discussed what was not opportunities to somehow show off in front of Australia, but it probably went to benefit. There was enough strength left for five sets. On five sets. This is true. Well, again, I started Unfortunately, there was one match in Hong Kong. there, lost in two timebreaks. Uh, True, yes, it probably didn't work out to feel something, to somehow find my own game, its own rhythm. And so we immediately flew to Melbourne. And we continued playing together with Andrey. I I always think that Evgeny will confirm that a couple always benefits. Again, if there are no options there other than training matches in singles, and in any match you play, like I think he still gives points some of their own fruits. That's where they played couple and immediately flew to Melbourne, started training here, playing there every day, I don't know, sets, points, and played one exhibition match in Kooyong. Well, in principle, I was preparing, as it were. physically to the start of the Grand Slam. Karen, hello again. Listen, I wanted to I'd like to ask you for my part. Please tell us about the condition of the courts. balls compared to what they were before. Are there any changes or is everything the same? how and how it was? Listen, honestly, every year, I It seems like something is still changing. That there are again all the courts between themselves, they there are different speeds, but it's always It was, I think, even from your times, If I'm not mistaken. Again, in yours the times were the courts themselves were faster, but I mean if you base it on current reality, then the courts are enough stadiums still bounce the ball higher, a little more, that is, still a little Slow down. And all the courts are here, although in Australia there is a lot there are stadiums, they even made an arena there, and this is az arena 1573, but they are all, Of course, faster, the ball is slipping, but the balls change too, to be honest. Every year they are still different somehow they feel it, that is, enough heavy, but at the same time in Australia they are all they always fly equally. When we trained during the pre-season in Dubai, for example, well, it felt a little different doesn't matter. It's clear. Well, let's hope so it will be good for you. Tell, Please tell me about the match next rival. A, To be honest, I've never played with him. I trained probably once. He again, one can say, as from such Nexgens already, If I'm not considered a Nexgen, then we trained with him on clay, I think in Madrid once. It is also progressing. Again, to me It seems like he's more of a dirt biker himself. on my own, but at the same time I don't care It seems he has the results on hard There is. Therefore, any opponent is worth it there in the top 25, uh, serious, so it's necessary tune in, like, uh, everyone, everyone knows how to do it play tennis, especially on the big helmet, a, from five sets. That is, well, It will be a tough match, so I'm getting ready. the main thing is mentally, as if stay in the game and, uh, show exactly, Well, that's the level that I can sort of show. Well, we hope you are the least you will overcome it with your own physical strength this rival and with all my heart to you We wish you good luck. Yes, by the way, on our TV show Karen said that he really wouldn't like to get on Yanika Sinera, but it seems that I will have to go with him anyway play. Well, at least in the first round. If I have to, yeah, no ... they asked so purely theoretically, that is I also joked that, well, probably, Yes, but I want to play against opponents like you can see each other further on the grid, so we'll wait and see, Yes. Letting go of the root. Let's go Kore. Good luck to you, cheers to you. Yes. Hello everyone guys. Come on, try hard and we will be sick. Yes, I will definitely pass it on. I'm running to have dinner, everything will be strengthened and restored. Let's. All, Thank you all very much. Thank you all. Thank you. Bye. At 9:00 pm. A at 9:00 pm isn't it a bit late? Yes mode This is actually a Spanish school. There They say in Spain it's earlier than 10:00 In the evening no one goes to dinner. And we are Karen we know how long he trained in Spain, so all this overlaps, because if I'm now at 9:00 pm I'll eat, I just everything will be digested there for half the night, Yes? And there, apparently, the metabolism is accelerated after five sets. Yes, that's right. Well done. What, what can you say? Let's hope so will really play a decent match in the third circle, will go to the fourth, where, well, judging by by all appearances, he will probably play in five sets, yes, Siner, yes, Yes. So, well, how is it right Karen he said, he says, in love at any opportunities are needed, well, it's a lot There's nothing you can do about it. he theoretically I could have gotten to him earlier there or at another stage, but here it is necessary Can further separate this possibility play with clearly the two best tennis players the world at the moment is Sineral and Alcaraz. They, of course, well, Dima won't give it lie, he sees everything himself. They really stand out from the background better than all the others. But you are more I was worried that Daniil Medvedev might to be drawn early on by lot to one of strong players, but still no. I think Setko is favorable to him. There will be an opportunity get into the swing of things. Kurorazhan was already in third round. This is also so-so. Quite a quest, huh? Well, he had a Rinderknesh going on the grid in third round. And in general, it seems to me, with It would have been easier for him to play Rinderknesch, than it seemed to me that Rublev had the most complex mesh. Well, it's clear that if they both, if everyone goes through three circles, then there Some of them go to the common people. So, well, I watched like the third one circle, especially for Daniil Medvedev, which one is there with last year's results on the helmet. Here he has the first, second circle. Here I am looked at these This is always a problematic story. That is The main thing is to get through these, uh, difficult ones rivals. Listen, this time he's still with I started this championship with a victory. He already has confidence. He has a very good innings. He seems to play with confidence, so enough, I would say, with feeling, with clearly, with arrangement. It's good now sees. Here the situation is different. Now he has some game practice no problems. He won the tournament, he has There is confidence. The question here now is how much physical strength he has left. Ah, indeed, the Australian Open is a grueling grand slam tournament where it's very energy-consuming for you, where do you you practically have to give it your all there maxi in any Grand Slam tournament need to. Well, I just wanted to say, basically, probably any grand slam tournament the energy is energy-intensive, but on this Australia Let's discuss this paradox with weather conditions. After all, it's traditional Australia is the hottest. Everything is eternal there. fell in a stupor, and now from +30 to +18, literally there in a few hours. Here I wonder how the guys are Well, I think they have +1 in the evening or at night when they play. That is, Well, yes. Well, you mean, nevertheless, everything the difference is so big, significant. Well, I don't know how much there is in total. It should be in the evening. Well, it's clear that It often rained there. In fact It was always very windy. I even remember, when is Ti Margarita Court when there is no there was this stadium, the ball was knocked down there very decent. And I even remember some matches, I lost to Berda there, damn, there it was simply impossible to play at all tennis. Uh, well, especially for me, like, I don’t I loved to play in the wind, so now There are such lovers. No, well, there is this, uh, Dania Medvedev, I think he's the one it's very suitable because he and Well, in principle, his game is not very pleasant when against him you play, and when there's wind, then, well, there are many more players hitting directly difficulties than players who got used to the type of dominator there, which They love to run, return everything and wait. mistake. Of course, it’s easier for them in this situation situations. No, I remember in the nineties. years when they only had one arena Rodleyver was the first court Dima remembers it's roofless and that's what's really going on there Dima says there is wind there too it was impossible to turn. And indeed it will somehow, you know, balance out the balance these are the weather conditions when to a player who can only think in ideal conditions, expects that always there is definitely the same rebound there The ball is sitting at the point of impact. And when? here is the wind, it starts everything on him the string surface starts to walk and play with the rim and everything at once at best on a string, Yes. Yes, at best, yes. All at once That's the whole psychological system. it starts to malfunction and that's it. And like this It's very difficult for players. That's why it is It's really something to do with the weather conditions, especially wind. He's like a little bit balances, equalizes the player's chances, which has huge chances and a player, which have practically no chance. Here you go, By the way, speaking about weather conditions, that it's cooler in the evening, you generally when did you like to play more: first, Well, morning launches or evening ones? Definitely in the morning. It seems to me that there is something here maybe there is a choice? No, well, first of all, you You can prepare, calculate your time to warm up, less waiting, less expectations, which is much better. And in case victories last longer for you to recover for the next game. Well, in the worst case scenario, successful evening flight. So here it is as if I'm alone, I'm alone plus. Yes. What does it mean? time management and planning? No, actually, Lena is in that really planning, you play in first match, you know 11 o'clock, that is you wake up there at 7:00, have breakfast, You're going to the stadium, warming up, you're at You have everything planned out. And you play, let's say the third or fourth match, but you're in limbo, you're not you know, yes, You can do three or four warm-ups, Yes? Yes. And here the most important thing is that you play first match time and evening session, let's say at 7:30. You know clearly your schedule, because you arrived there 7, if you play at 7:30 pm, you I arrived there alone, by 12:00, and warmed up, I had lunch, went to the hotel, and rested, then I arrived there in 2 hours, same thing warm up and that's it, and you're ready. The very best the bad thing is somewhere here, so that you schedule when you're somewhere in the middle you are here, third, fourth match. Here then you have a real dilemma here. Let's talk in more detail about ours Guys. Specifically, Andrei Rublev, He's in for a pretty tough match. against Sirundal. What do we expect from this? games? In principle, Andrey, this is enough looks confident now. Well, I think it's all the same to the coach there is a trainer there at all without a T-shirt. Maximum self-confidence there. Yes, the whole team is there without a T-shirt. So, huh? so, yes, we probably want to talk. Yes, Certainly. Well, that's why I started with them, naturally. Yes. So it came, yes, from so far away. Well, I think Andrey doesn't care. favorite in this match. Cherundu, in fact, may very well It's not bad to play. I think he has lack of psychological stability. That is, somewhere he can, well, like They say it's sometimes a sparkle, sometimes a crackle. A little bit exaggerated, but overall, how is Karen? said all players can play well tennis. That is, in my opinion, uh the level of a tennis player depends more on of how his worst matches are, how badly they fail. That there is, if Sinner fails there it doesn't matter, yes, there as a game or there attention, then he falls there on one or two draws, then he is being restored. That is, very rarely, when he leaves the game there on one or two games. Some can do 1-2 months to leave the game. That is Well, we had this binoapper, how could he I could have won a tournament there and then 4 months matches cannot be won Just, yeah, in the Maldives, uh, with the hosts. meet. Well, that's just in case me now. Well, you know, it seems to me, especially with you, why not get to know me, They get to know each other, but they meet different people. Let's let's change the topic. Let's talk about this, yes, a little bit. No, you know, about Andrey, too, It seems like such a plus that last year I had this feeling, he was like that I really got myself worked up with the confirmation glasses, he just had pressure on him this is that you need to confirm the points, that I need to speak out here specifically. Here the whole beginning of the season somehow went by very strong stress, and he couldn't show your game. Here he is with him still relaxed, confirm nothing, he is calm. And in general, no, well agree that this also kind of removes some additional pressure, tension, you're already playing more relaxed. What do you think? Well, listen, it’s difficult for me exactly discuss this topic because I was one of those that really gave great importance to the rating. Understand? It has always been important to me to confirm, to stand in the ranking, because what about your place in the ranking? there are very very large ones there from this you can only extract your benefit, because, well, it's one thing for you to stand there in the top ten, but it's another matter that you're standing there fortieth, fiftieth, because there is options where you can in some you can't get into the tournaments you want to play. You'll have to ask there either ask for a Wcard or play qualifying. Here. So, that's what I'm telling you, that in Last year he, in my opinion, Fanseiki I lost, yes, in the first round, that's why Now it's like the opposite, like this the state that he can score points, move forward and as if nothing is putting pressure on you. You know, it’s also an interesting paradox that such people, when they they very often worried about confirming points, but just like when they have nothing confirm, they are worried about that I have the opportunity to recruit them, and they are also clamped down. That is, they are being squeezed. in any situation. Well, uh, I even remember the situation when Kukushkin won Peter. It was such a breakthrough for him. He then there was, well, I don’t remember, there were 250 points, but not the essence. And I tell him: “What are you doing? You will have to protect them." Well, we they would laugh, but man month of the month two people before Peter's confirmation just, well, yes, that is, he went with s a jar of valerian, because it I was constantly shaking. So, well, that's one of the points. That There is Andryukha who simply loves himself, It seems to be winding up. Well, and such character. And here, it seems to me, it is very It's great that Marat is nearby. Actually, and the coach has now flown out of Vicenta's head, Yes, he himself is such a Hakuna Matata. Well then in addition, there is also Marat, yes, that is, as if there, well, essentially, it goes like this at all, Yes, there are such a team of valerian lovers, which is a little bit of it, for me it seems to dull this fire of his, this is all confusion. Yes. Yes. Yes. And it seems to me that this is, well, I need it like I need air. That is, for me in general it seemed that the fact that he left for Spain and started working there with him from Galablanca, from Vicenta of Galablanca, for him it was very positive and the right step, because he himself to myself, I remember, I played a couple with him, well, he It's always like this, like this, like this They say I'm on the cutting edge psychologically, and I It seems like it's good that people are like this around him. Well, by the way, regarding psychology, it is also curious that already for the second year in a row in Australia, coaches, they are literally sitting right on the court, chair, and here is the psychological Marat's support, it's for sure is felt. What do you think about this? the right decision to put the coaches on court or m It's a pity that Marat didn't have any sitting on him back then chairs, remembers the finale. No, support is there in any case. it is necessary, of course, if you are there you play and don't feel that you are being played there are actually two or three people there, who give you all this energy all your vibes are conveyed, they want that you, uh, played well, it was tough, huh? A when you have it, yes, you do Additionally, here is this drive drive emotions, and you become even more furious trying to achieve the desired result, which your whole team wants you to get away from. So, of course, from this point of view This is a huge plus. AND Well wait, support or tips? Because the coach can do that sit close to the back line and in literally give hints to the player, you needed this during the game to you question. Well, I do too, because I can't stand it when I they suggest. No, you you know, you you know what to do with yours rival. It's another matter, you it's just not for specific reasons you can't do it. But you try, Yes, you are trying that tactic. You know, that your opponent has a hole on the right. Trying to neutralize his left hand, because, well, there's a hole on the right, he is wrong. And there are many such nuances, which which you know that you needs to be done. What's the point of having a trainer? He says, play right? So, he says: "Yes, I know I need to play right". Yeah, it's just that you, well, for certain reasons. There are reasons why you can't do all this. No, it's just that the coach is so close to The player very often gives rise to conflicts. Well, I think you have something to remember. in this in this situation. And maybe even listen, but even unnecessary emotions, here are the ones that seem to be better concentrate, he'll accept it better himself solution, think about what this discussion is, which knocks you out for a while from the match in general. Well, actually, it's quite difficult. Give the whole detailed answer. I I think that there are a lot of players now very dependent on the outside support, right? I mean, uh, I didn't have I didn't feel any need more help or I didn't play better from that someone was sitting and clapping their hands and shouted that I was the best. That is to me much more important were some constructive hints, not reassurance and there You are better, you can. And even now it is very a lot of this, in my opinion, water information that comes to the player, but she's nothing special and does not contain any constructive elements. Oh, and here too. the question is, yes, that is, what in this case Does Andrey need more? technical, in I mean, tactical tips, because that there are already technical hints, in in principle, well, much less in such situations, like in a match. Well, you won't. there talk, there, I don’t know, there follow wiring or something else. There is some small nuances, but legs with lights, Yes, but there is more to the point there. these are actually the legs lights it it helps. Yes, well, that's the most important thing you need, Let's work, fight and that's it. This is this, probably the most important thing is that it can your your team, right? This is probably more than that. psychological plan, right? That is to say, there is tactical, technical, psychological plat, yes, you are discussing it. Well, I know that Verda is very important it was so that he had a big one there team, everyone was standing there and clapping palms. He needed it to be there 20 people. Someone there at Del Potter's There were two people sitting. In principle Fine. U Someone has three blondes. Let's not point fingers. Now, I'm not talking about myself anymore. Seis, yes. But overall, well, I think that, yes, Here Lena managed on her own. To me It seems that the older generation doesn't either I'm used to carrying a huge team with me Now. Yes, now it seems to me that it is, Well, does not contribute to a good result. More right now I'm on tour in New York with I come across this, that when you have coach, when you have tips, when a coach can prompt a person just starts turning after every draw and look at you and say: "Like, tell me what do. And decide for yourself the problem, this is what Lena was talking about, "Few are capable of this anymore." This is Sasha Zverev is a very bright example of her, when, well, he turns around and says, "What do I need? do? Damn, you're third in the world, how are you? You should already understand by yourself how things go play." and Sinral Karas, they are much They are more independent in the application have completely outgrown this moment, yes, and they no need to look there on there on the father, on the mother there. What should I do? A what why Why is this happening to me? I think I do everything. No, you are not everything you do. You wave, you haven't trained, in order to ask such questions, turn. You, you're probably something. I didn't finish it there. That's why The next step is to ask the GPT chat at the crossing. I'm not, I wouldn't be surprised that I understand it will come to this through a gadget, there right now in a few hours there for you there will be hints there, but it's already simple, you know, it gets to such a point of madness that In reality, the player is not so helpless it is found that he himself cannot accept the decision is there, how to continue playing the game, What to do there? Well, that's what it's supposed to be for work the brain. And now there is a new generation teenagers, they just have that it feels like my brain is drying up, and very quickly. Now he will write very many. No, no, the main thing is that you sign up, You put likes. In fact, this is what what we are telling you here now, Well, whoever wants it, accepts it. information, who does not want, but on health. We we actually, well, not we will be offended, but if everyone wants us to somehow we had a constructive dialogue, They told us, that's what we're trying to do to do, but someone doesn't like it, well, for the sake of God, there are others, Yes, our competitors who can speak those things that you like. For the sake of God, we will not be offended. Right? Eh, that's right. And most importantly, leave yours comments, you also share yours opinion. Agree, disagree. We, like I already said, we read everything, so We ask for joy. Let's move on to next topic. We also had this one unique phenomenon One Point Slam. And how do you feel about this? competition? Including Marat took part, and Andrey, in general, many played. Here, Elena, how are you? Do you think there is a future for this at all? format? Anya, well, I already said that I I think this idea is brilliant. I think, that all Grand Slam tournaments should borrow this format and run with it on an ongoing basis. I will say that I played a large number of exhibitions, I watched a huge amount indicative, but such emotions that I saw this here from the same Karl I haven't seen Salcaras anywhere for what money. It seems to me that it is, well, it was simply incredible in its own way heat. See how Marat and his the crowns will be wrong, well, it seemed simple impossible, yes. And now we see photographs of the players' faces. I really I liked it. It really happened a breathtaking spectacle. It seems to be all right simple, but how brilliant everything is again Just. This was simple and brilliant, In my opinion. Well, that's expensive. A million dollars is straight up, to me It seems that such a tennis lottery is very this Australian dollars. Well there is no difference there. Now Australian dollar very much I don't know. Yes, I don't know. But the point is, that in my opinion it's still a lottery. So the point is that anyone can win. It's clear that this guy then, when they started digging, he in fact the player is so active He played futures there. He had them. there, he is not a teapot, he is not a kettle, Yes. That is, here, of course, they are a little bit they were disingenuous in this sense, but still there was an opportunity for anyone who went there somehow got there, won. AND Listen, when Coca-Cola Golf serves two, it's hers Asinor, Why are you a coca right away? Bring yours remember. No, well actually, let's do it. let's say that of all the pranks The only prank was Danil's Medvedev. This was the only one a beautiful full-fledged draw, yes, captivating everything else, of course, this is what we came for Look at these nerves, a million is at stake. spectators of this oppressive atmosphere. Well It was interesting. And what do you think? In general, something even more brilliant is possible come up with? Here's how to tweak this somehow format? Well, maybe more thoroughly. to select really those who are fans, so that it doesn't turn out that there is a future, Well, well, you need to understand this for what? To entertain here in one in one day the public. Well, just one day, which will be before Of course. Why on the same day? Look, it's the same there was a whole preparatory tournament among lovers, which they carried out throughout Australia, all over the States. And look, How much does this raise the amateur level and interest. Well no, I agree with you. from this point of view, yes, but we we're talking about that moment that was broadcasted here meaning in what? The fact is that here is one draw and and a million, yes. How long does it take? was the broadcast going on? What time is it? I, To be honest, I don't remember. A couple of hours I haven't watched it, so I can't say. I'm kind of on the right side, the point is not in this, of course. There, well, for popularization of tennis among amateurs, For the general public, this is a brilliant idea. There will be no questions I think now every viewer will just dream of taking part in next year, get ready, you know, This is very good in all respects. You are everything You still understand who's in the final part It turns out that those who played futures there. Well, we understand that, but in general, you hope and one draw can and bring up. Of course, a chance is a chance for every person must be provided. If he, you know, uh this idea lives there, then I think that neither in no case should it be limited. Sold the dream, sort of, yes, and to what extent how much hype it created everywhere, all over the world. That is, it went beyond the scope tennis, let's say. If very some, I don’t know, for example, Siner with Elkaras is played in Hong Kong or there the helmet of kings, then it’s all the same as if for does not go beyond the limits of tennis. And here is one like this new idea. that anyone can try. And it’s clear that all of this was wrapped up in a beautiful shell, but the essence itself, to me It seems very cool. The only thing is it cost a million Australian dollars dollars. And when the player is in the qualification there or futures sits and I don’t He counts every penny, yes, so that he has to pay for the hotel, how is he going to do it? uh, through AVVIASALES find a convenient ticket, to save an extra $100, of course, it's, you know, it's not advertising. Now I'll send it for free too. opportunity to participate and win. Well No. Which no one will allow. Well, well, why? Well, I played in the finals. young woman? Wait. Well, I played in the finals. a girl who is rated 1117 and could win. No, well, the point is, I am, of course, I understand, the task here was, well, sort of create hype and attract people to tennis attention. And they, and they, to the tournament, Of course, they did it and jumped above their weight. heads in this sense. Ah, but, naturally, when you are a futures player and you see that there is a million dollars there, uh, he just gets one point, and you somewhere in Spain, like here. AND and you will never theoretically get this money You may not make money, you know, playing Most people don't make money, right? That is that's true, of course, well, from that point of view It's a shame for the players, but listen, here, roughly speaking, is this million dollars, how many events could there be? to conduct? Well, like futures, even if you take, roughly speaking, well, the most small 15,000 dollars prize fund. Imagine And this is for the husband, this is for the girls. And at Men are the same. You can play fifteen spend there 3040 40 50 tournaments all year round. A whole year You can even sponsor the tour. A for a and for guys who are 17, there are 18-16 years that dream of breaking out of here of this swamp in which they are located, through this, well, what I went through, What Dima, Lena, we've all been through passed through this swamp. For us it is motivation remains the same, and so it got bogged down there. But now I'm sitting here with you. In principle, not bad dug out. Finally you declassified. Get ready. This is what we have Undercover, he's just a handsome presenter. We also have a professional tennis player. with us. Well, have you been to the Maldives? I was there, yes, I met some guys there. promising. Come on, okay, come on. let's move on to the next player, the person, who also likes to create hype. This Sasha Bublik. And he is quite confident passed Brooksby and Fucevich. What awaits him next Dominor in the fourth. No. In the third circle. IN In the third round, a dominant position awaits him. And in general How do you think he justifies his top 10? Well, Sasha, straight forward. Yes. Yes, Well, in short, in short, yes. Well, he is one of the most talented players, maybe, well, at the level of Marat, seems to be at the level of Kirgi. Tell him that he did everything before this time. that last year. If you say, If it is not, if it was talent him, well what was he doing? He's real nuzhega. I just can't do it on air. can. Why not? Or you can just swear You can, yes, if they cut you off. No, well, of course he was messing around. once, let's put it this way. Again, yes, he needed to to go through this path to grow up there, realize, uh, where he is there, something is right does where he is wrong, but he, Well done, you got it right. That is, not Kirghiz. never really got it right. Yes, he has it there. there was a slam final Umbledon, Yes. Because he's there, in my opinion, Rafa withdrew, yes, against him in the semi-finals or who someone. Well, in general, well, in general, Yes, he had a good result, but, Of course, he didn't live up to it of his talent, and many who do not they do it, it's not his fault again it is said, but man is not to blame that he was born a talented tennis player, but not wants to play tennis. Here. But Sasha, of course, made a big transformation. And it's interesting how he he did it, that he was already there when he fell outside the top 10,000, and he I pulled myself together, went there, and played a couple of challengers, well, I guess I got it, than when things started to get hot, he turned on to work. Well, actually, Badosa is like that I did the same thing a couple of years ago. A, Well, a lot of people do that. Agassi also I dropped there to 140. I pulled myself together. took off his wig and started playing tennis. How old was he at twenty? Ninety-eight year. He was 28 years old. Yes. At twenty-seventh. 27 days at the end in ninety-seventh year he became 140, then I went to Las Vegas and won challenger, won a few more slams after this. Yes, some, two or three, yes, he beat me in ninety, in 2000, in He won Australia in ninety-nine US Open. Yes, he is three, three or four won the slam after that. That's why, of course, you know, uh, we all know, that now a career is a little longer it became what it was 20 years ago, That's why his age will still allow him to play there 3-4 years at the top ten level, so as he wants, yes, Yes, it all depends on him. wants He here to work, because the older you are the more you become, the more you you have to work because you have your your your physical resource, you Whether you like it or not, he becomes everything less. That's why you need to work in twice as much as you worked there, when you were 21-22 years old there. That's why aa rating never lies. If Sasha is standing tenth, which means he is quite deserved. I can always be picky argue in this situation. Listen, you know what, by the way, Interesting? In our TV show, and Sasha is like once again said that he is now to I started to treat tennis as my own work. So he really did change. your approach. It's already kind of worse Listen, you can always use tourism to do it even when you're 50 years old. Well, he is Well, this is an axiom. Why are you Are you wasting your precious time? Here in there, when when you're in the very, very at the dawn of your physical powers, when you you can achieve results for yourself too There is potential, as Dima said, so do I I agree with him that he has resource, due to which it can be located at the level and give a real fight to all leading tennis players. That's why Why waste it like this? So I hope that, like Dima He said it right, he has something in his head the switch switched over and he realized that it was, Well, sooner or later it will go away, so it is necessary Now we have to squeeze the maximum out of this. And by the way, it’s also interesting that Sasha said there, on the same TAVL show, that the difference between the top 10 and top 70 players this level is practically nonexistent there is none. I not true, I think, I don't know, I actually wanted to ask Elena. Well OK, a little bit, a lot, listen, well, they really need this self-confidence. Here, let's say it so, because if we take physics, technology, then I agree with him, it’s not like that It's big, but I have self-confidence and, uh, let's say the skill is stable perform throughout the season, This is precisely what makes it different. And what As for Sasha, well, you know, that's it from the side it seems: "Well, why is he like this? late? Didn't you have a feeling? that at the end of a career some things revealed to you, which as it may be even they came too late, but they they came and just like that to someone earlier for you, but for him it will be a little later, but better, that this happened. And now that he hit the mark, I like that he's not pinched, there's no pressure on him from this here is the thinning. After all, very many, well, I now there's a ten, I have to to correspond, no, he is inspired He's playing, he's just caught the spirit. We we see that he enjoys it games, and it's very good, it's great. But how important is it to live at all? tennis or do you need to follow some a certain balance? Well, I would probably rephrase that, what he said is that he is starting to play tennis treat it like work because earlier, it was he who treated it as work. Came, went, and between this Let everything burn during working hours there with blue fire. Now, I think he is treats this as, perhaps, favorite business or or he is a little bit into it It burns more than before. That is already it's not, well yes, he makes money from it, but He now lives by this more than before. Yes. And here, how important is it to live by this? But This is a question. How important is it to you that It's important to you. Djokovic absolutely he's fanatical, so he plays there already how many years, and he is still one of leading tennis players I'm in my twenties. Yes. Yes. Well, he lives by it. He is for this, I don't know, I'm ready to sell my homeland and do something everything you need to be the best. That is, if it means yes, but he is not ready to sell his homeland, Sorry, he is very principled. He is very principled. He's on some principles are worth it, so excuse me, come on we won't. Well, yes, that's more. the point is that he is ready to go to great lengths and sacrifice a lot for the sake of tennis. Most tennis players, uh, I won't I can't list the names now, but it's very many who stand below their level potential, that's why it's not and it's not stand higher because, well, they want everything manage to live and be on social media post something. Here's the question, well, dedication. Well, speaking about Novak, he confidently passed the first two laps and, in In principle, he is very optimistic about your chances of taking this twenty fifth title. Eh, that's what you think, he he's being disingenuous or maybe he's overestimating myself? Does he even have a chance against Alcaraz and Sinnera? Because it's as if the more time passes, the He has fewer chances than this. Although he Apparently, he doesn't think so. No, well, let's be realistic. I I think there is absolutely no chance. Yeah. Because, well, that's all, yes, Dima can help me there somehow Yes, I don't, I can't argue with you here, yeah, because, well, really physical the possibilities of Alcaraz and Siner, if their can't even be compared to Novyk, who is fanatical about diets there, gluten-free, everything is taken care of there, Well, you are here, unfortunately, Well, well, you can't fool me. physical the physical resource is completely different, yes, if you play, roughly speaking, if if the Grand Slam tournaments were three sets, where there is practically any the lottery is possible, you can there, well, no wake up there in an hour, everything can happen end, but from five-sets I always adhered to, if the opponent is stronger, then always wins in five-set matches the strongest. This is without Well, it's more of a physical marathon, yes. There no matter how well you play, didn't play right, left, yes, then you're here You can't fool nature. I think maybe he's voicing that, well, if conditionally it is not It's said, but it's like the best tennis Novak Djokovic, here is the best, like at the Olympics and it could be the worst day there is Siner or Alcaraz or maybe They didn't go any further due to injury. That There are, well, of course, there are always chances. If the match takes place, yes, if people come out on the kor, then anyone there has a chance, like Tommy Hass came out to warm up and stepped on ball, twisted his ankle, took off. That From this point of view, there are chances absolutely everyone. Just like we said about this OneP Slamm, yes, that there are chances everyone, but it's clear that he won anyway a person who can play tennis. No, there's no doubt about it, Djokovic is for real according to the game, the third Tnesi Smira. Now, of course he is according to my understanding, there may be the first one there, Yes, the first one, yes, on the head, but the resource he's not physical limited, unfortunately, precisely in in his case now. Elena, do you support Evgeny’s opinion? Yes, I'm already waiting for us to go to the girls let's move on because how much can this go on for? How many? Before we move on to discussing girls, let's see, What are our chances of winning? guys in the third round. Well, it's as if would be a bagel in a pair. Dima, tell me, am I confusing something, or Cherendola and two brothers are there. Yes, two brothers. This is the elder and the younger lost. Plays better. Yes. Well, the eldest one plays the best, by the way. Moreover, the bagel beat one of the younger ones some tolik in the state last year on Yes. These are the two clay court tournaments. Well, everything should be clear here. Think, that all the guys should owe me Seems, go through a stage third round and go out to the fourth circle. I think, Well, if Dima, I'm Marozhan, honestly saying, no, I don't mean he plays, unpleasant unpleasant, but it seems to me not stable enough to win Danya. But especially in five sets, Yes. And somewhere a little bit starts press him, and he starts right away fall apart badly. But he beat Elkaras in Rome once. Well, really, there a few years ago. Well, the opponent is unpleasant. I think that, Maybe, he or Sirundela are probably the ones the most difficult of the three. Understandable Beasts It's not a gift either. Well, for Sasha, for me it seems, uh, well, we see now by the fact that, how he beat Brooksby, who unpleasant, and who did he beat in the second circle. Yesterday, I'll tell you now. flew out of the chapter. Well, basically the point is that he beat enough, and this fuchsovitsa. Fucevich set, yes. Well, there are three three three. there were sets, there were 75, 76, 75, something like that. Well, 75 64 75, yes, anyway, yes, that's the score in men's tennis is all the same quite a convincing account. That is If it's 7:5 6 for a girl, that's it. Damn, this is close a match of one or two draws of a match. A here, well, here, in principle, to him, when it was necessary, he took the opponent's serve and brought the set to its logical conclusion. Yes. Well, you also look, when is that, if At the beginning of the set he took the serve, it is clear that it's like sampress, there's also one break and everything, and then in general the person is just on I didn't do any techniques at all, just I was hitting aces there with the first one, with the second one, and there the set ended 64, 75, 76, then yes, well, overall, yes, that is, in three sets is quite convincing victory. There is already a new trend now, not Smashy sandal, and Bakhady from Padalo. You We've seen how many times he does what he does there. He new vibora, these are new strikers he is from fell brought. is already playing. There are no walls yet, but there are some new ones He's already showing movements. So already this one fell. Yes, let's, yes, let's not do it advertise. We all play it ourselves, but none of us know about it. No, I had enough for me, two were enough for me. once. I said I would never do it again Padala didn't go to court. If God loves the Trinity, Eugene, we You owe this to me, this is really true. it didn't work. I just don't understand these blows. with a scraped knee. blows from the walls there and so on. Well, he wants to play the blows from walls, please, there is squash. This is the same purely here is an analogy of squash. So no especially Nene's paired combinations, not all that's all to count on a rival, that's why I didn't fall. It wasn't for me to fall. Ah, friends, in any case it’s nice that our partners from the background are like this assess the chances of our guys. In principle, Everyone must win everything. No, well, I rubles. And where is Karen? Karen will be there a little later. Bye Karen is having dinner, Yes? Give it to me, Let the man eat in peace, yes. And, friends, I also remind you that we have There is an amazing Telegram channel. He very informative, there is a lot of useful information information. Be sure to subscribe on him. And don't forget to like this video. Well, let's move on to girls. It's about time. I think we need to start. No, wait, we won't have you. Evgeny, are you posting the results in Live Stream? We are re-examining Osaki in her image or what? Buys an umbrella. When we have a broadcast before a broadcast, Dima says: "Have you seen Cilic?" So, I saw Cilic, but but not now. I saw Cilic in the past, in the last century. Vovrinko entered the third round. He won so much that. Won this Frenchman. Yes. Same there's already some kind of breath there him. Well, 40 years is still a game, by the way, his last Grand Slam tournament. Yes, I made it to the third round. Well, that's just it some kind of, so that in Dimino in my time some of the forty-year-olds went into their third year circle. Well, of course, there was someone 40 years old. No, 39 was Jimmy Konursov. At ninety In his first year he reached the semi-finals, remember, Juice Opena in ninety-first, when he was there Harkhius there is all this, then he played Krickstein. Well, Thomas Muster also played it's time, but Thomas Musterka is right there. He was 28, but he looked 28, like at 40, Yes. That's why at 40 years old, so that play, win, uh win matches in big tournaments helmet. Well, Well, we also have something to brag about. We have Vince Williams, just for a second and Veroznogoreva is generally on the port. Verochka, Verochka. Here. Well, if Vera, Yes, I just started my next comeback. and it seems to me, I don't know how I won. That is, the person has already succeeded in what people usually do end their careers and do not resume them, she has already resumed it, yes, maybe even more. And she is now won in pairs. Iti, I don't know, she plays, well, logically, yes, it's logical that she will play. I think she's in a pair will go far. Uh, today they are something beat someone quite convincingly, Not? won two matches already. Second match won or was he the first? I chose a couple and a mix in a pair. Well, in a couple, I don’t know about a couple, I think the first round with Idtler. She already lost in the mix. She never relaxed, of course. I know Vera well. She is a professional of the highest degree. She is madly in love tennis. And she does this, you know, with with great pleasure. She doesn't think my life without tennis. That is Vera Vera in women's tennis, like Andrey Cherkasov in men's, he also loves I'm just a fanatic tennis fan. Well, what's wrong with that? Understand? I I think if this continues for you to give pleasure, you play, it works for you, yes, let it be in pairs discharge, e, as if only the radar did not there are enough people who really obsessed with this whole idea, which well eh, they live by this business because, well, many people are saying objectively now, You know, the trend is that there is no real idealists who are for this idea everyone works there, you know reformatted into commerce, but people who really want to achieve results, there are few of them. God willing, so that Vera will finish sooner or later, but she would be in coaching work would be the ideal person who will be you will motivate you to work there. Undoubtedly, and would be a player-coach. As an option. Well, actually, I'm not making fun of me. Yes, it's just a little bit the only thing that doesn't I can understand why she ends up and Why does she resume? That is, because to resume and rise in the rankings, play tag there because I remember she played this last time when she I got there, won the final in pairs, and She stood, in my opinion, even in the hundredth, in the last time she was alone she came back, she went through everything these fifteen, thirty five, she was vnita and this is if someone is engaged tennis tourism, then this is what it is like an eagle and a roe, yes, there in nature in five-star hotels. A fifteen is, well, you can there in sleep in a tent. Well, more or less. Maybe Elena has the answer to this question. For what? No, well, she, she, she finished, no, so to speak, not of my own free will. It was associated with injuries, with operations. She transferred a large amount between by the way, operations. And the fact that she comes back after that, dials shape, maintains itself in such a way physical form, well, as if actually in fact, it only delights. Moreover, Her daughter also plays tennis. Can you imagine some kind of example for her? see your mother playing, look up to her and If they play a couple more together, it will be It will, of course, be very interesting. Well, if Vera can do it up to this point to last on tour, but we'll just give a standing ovation. Listen, since we mentioned Zigimune, Let's start, perhaps, with the defeats, Yes, this is such a sensational defeat for the People. Samsonova. 6:0, 52 leads and then all this Listen, we only had one day, I think it's the first day of Sunday when three girls who weren't supposed to lose, they all lost, to Unfortunately. This is Lyuda Sasonova Nastya Pavlyuchenkova and someone else. And Katya Alexandrova. Katya Alexandrova, yes. Well, you know, they were kind of different defeats, because if Nastya lost there in the decisive tiebreak, there was match point, but it was ball to ball, there were a few games, of course, when 6:0 51, 635, ah, and the missed ones are just like that an open manual on how you can, well, Just relax for a moment, just a little bit just a little bit, yes, loss of concentration The match ended early. And to what extent? It's hard to get yourself back into the game, how much This state is difficult, but in myself, yes, concentrate again. Although here, It would seem that tennis players are very agile nervous system. We are used to it constantly on super emotions, here is overexcitement, Here they are again, slowing themselves down, again we start. Well, it didn't work out. This is very It's a shame, of course, especially at a tournament Grand Slam to miss such moments. But that's how it is, a game. In this for this and we love tennis. That's why we got him let's look. But who do you feel most offended for? I'm here for Katya Alexandrova. first circle, because that's what's called not hers day, that's when a few of your unlearned mistakes, but the opponent played up, urged on by the stands, it was very great Turkish support in her favor. And then it seemed like she tried find your game. I just think that She could have gone far, but here, Unfortunately, this match is just like that for her Here he is gone. AND For the first time in her career, she entered the top ten Well, close to ten, yes, eleventh. It's ranked, yes. Well, yes, she was. tenth, now eleventh. And this is it just here she is, just here, yes, here gets into the taste of great victories. And very I would like to see her play here. But Unfortunately, this also happens. This is what Samsonova is missing, Alexandrova, which they have been doing for a long time now top 20. That's why this transition confidence, because in the game they are in no way inferior, in my opinion. Samson is not one of the best, in general, for me It seems physically. It's clear from the warm-up that the straight man is very straight has good control over his body, but, to unfortunately, it's above the shoulders, that main one a problem that we are still facing you have it in your head, yes, Well, no, not about the hairstyle, but Katya, it’s the same, it seems to me, that’s if compare, yes, when you said about Bublik, that he is in the top ten, he is there feels comfortable and inspired. Yes, how Len said, then Katya, it seems to me, is right there as uncomfortable as possible. This is it both in her case, yes, she, to me It seems she is not ready for this pressure that which weight is on these shoulders. Everyone expects from me, but not Well, this is also additional attention, and these conversations, expectations, and to me It seems like she's having a hard time with it. About Us Well, I haven't figured it out yet. And no the fact that he will figure it out, because, well, from a game point of view it has always been very, very I wouldn't even say talented, but she has, well, she has a heavy, weighty one blows. When she hits the ball, she has This ball flies straight like a lead cannonball. And, ah, the question here is, yes, her game, it's a little bit tailored to the ideal conditions when you feel comfortable, there, low above the net, close to the lines. And this game is very strong will fall apart when you start be nervous. That is, when you it's pressing, but you can't play anymore This is tennis, and you need to know a little bit play like this in Turkish sanmes, where you can just, well, run, interrupt, endure, wait, do not wait from yourself there with perfect blows. And with this, Both Luda and Katya are crazy They can play cool, but they can also fall apart during the match and fall out there's a set and a half there. Well, yes, you are like this, sorry, this is like this That's a very good idea you said, as if I want to talk about it. This is a skill play when you're having a bad day, don't expect the most from yourself there great tennis because either conditions, or your state, or your opponent won't let you do it. This in fact, few people are capable of this, because they are perfectionists, they are It’s like Andrei Rublev, he’s all time squeezes itself out to the maximum, he wants right here, well, and at training, on to show yourself in every game, well, that's all, what he is capable of. Not always it turns out, or rather, it’s impossible do it. And it is not always necessary, and it's not always necessary, right? That is, somewhere I even need to tweak my own a little bit forces. Actually, Dima was here earlier said that, of course, you should there be a certain average level, below which you cannot descend. Here I am I always quote this quote, it's for I'm brilliant. Stefan Edberg in his time said: "If you want to win Grand Slam tournament, you need win seven matches." But it doesn't happen for seven matches when you're at your best You feel like you have this every match there two or three times in these matches when you have nothing it works, but you have to go through it I can overcome this and beat my opponent, so that it would be easier later. That's why, that's why Dima said it right on that, that weight, that tension that on Katya's shoulders, well, she herself doesn't believe it, that she is in the top ten. This is the worst part. And here we are, I'm going to talk about this topic a little bit now I'll elaborate, we had a lot of examples in the locker room when we go in, but sometimes tennis players who have a rating of 80 there from 90, and he comes into the locker room, and this I feel like he's in the top three, You know, by all the behavior. I won't now to speak, but like this, but this is this a huge positive quality that I have I think that, well, not everyone is given the opportunity when here you feel that you, Well, at least give me a hint, I'm really interested, Did you figure out who Dimitrov is? Well, I I won't talk about it now, well, that's it Mine was the same in my time. I don't know, Dima probably remembers too, yes, even I remember that there were. Well, Sasha Bublik is a good example. As if Sasha never acted like he was he doesn't deserve to win, does he? That is it sporting impudence, that's what That's not what I can't think of. I'm at I had other examples, but they developed. Well, yes. The point is that yes, this one sporty arrogance, it's beyond the court is this, well it turns into some kind of arrogance and haughtiness. And on This is exactly what the court needs. And Elena Ostapinko is a good example. Human just doesn't believe that she worse than others. It doesn't matter how well she plays, She plays badly, she just believes in it, Well, why is she looking at Iga? And laughs at her because she won five times or six times. If she lost five times, she would still equally well How can I lose to her? This is it This is a very good positive feeling, which, God grant that everyone has such a thing that's exactly this attitude In individual sports this is very important quality. Here, of course, is this line, yes, so that it doesn't turn into that You arrogance, yes. Because I have to respect zero of their own, Well, you can't exalt them above yourself, conditionally, why did I lift the chair, yes, before that they can sit below you. I should be on par with you. Listen, you can sit on an equal footing with me, as you feel more comfortable. I have this You know what an interesting idea is. A Kalinskaya is now against Iga with this what's the mood like? Yes. Does she have one? Ani has this quality, right? She looks, and what's worse about it? Speaks in general This is positive. This is what you need to have. Fine. Kache, listen, the quality is good. In the last match there was also a good fight She played, but let's get to the point Let's figure out how it can be used by Igu beat. The fact that you and I are here disagreed. So, she beat her in Dubai. Okay, yes, she beat her. Well, that's how it is. How could she beat her? So for me it should be perfect day, but where will it fall? If you take risks, you'll end up in trouble. their burrows, as if running across, wait it out, maybe things won't work out here. Well I would say that these are very serious for her it will be like a test next round. And I'm not sure that she is will cope. Well, that's how it is What do you think of me? Well, I think so, yes, indeed, Anya. should be in good shape like her I was in Dubai. A It's clear that Iga is not in perfect shape right now form. She has already lost two matches in this year. And in principle she has such there were no starts. seasons. Well, I don't I remember the last time she did Australia has already lost two matches, yes. A it's clear that, in principle, she has it career now, or its results are going downhill, right? That is, if take Wimbledon, which, in principle, If you look at the last few umldons, then Rybakina won there. After Rybakin there, in my opinion, Krejcikova, Vandrausheva. Ah, that is always, well, quite unexpected results, and then these players, in in principle, they did not support this level, except for the Rybakins there. And therefore I think it was also a win a little bit like that, well, a little bit lotteries, yes, this is not an indicator. That is the fact that she won there Ralangaros performed consistently and well on hard, it was good for her indicator. Well, plus she dominated throughout the entire season. Now this dominance no, that's why now Anya, yes, has a chance. But again the question, How prepared is Anya, because Anya also last season, I think, she was, well, she had a good season, she was injured, then she was very cool played out. Well, girls often have this, that I played a good season, then bam, it turned off, a little again sank, right? That is, the question of her attention, the question now is about her goals and objectives for the season. She plays tennis, she plays tennis there is something else there. besides tennis. Here. But I think she has very good ones. chances because she has this impudence, and this is very important against Iga. The yoke itself is quite good the psyche is also mobile. She doesn't have this confidence in dominance now. When when if not now? She has a very high average level, You see, this is what Zhenya was talking about, understand? Even if she plays in average for myself, you know, even It's bad for you, but it will be bad for others. out of reach. Moreover, here we are with we remember that there is enough of it it's windy. This is her game, so strong twisted male blows, like these legs that are the best in nature, of course, This is all kind of a plus for her. And here are the chances, Of course there is, but it's very difficult opponent in any form and under any layout. Ah, Dim, you said that in the women's Tennis doesn't last from season to season. I have to, but we have this one a wonderful example in the form of the World Andreeva, Russia's number one tennis player the end of last season. We are here we discussed what was not quite right with her there, yes, everything was working out. Here comes the New Year and a completely new world immediately the title in Adelaide. Here she is already I decorated two bagels for myself rivals, and not the weakest ones. Here How would you rate it? Well, Sakar, yes, now, that is, if remember, Sakarya was there 2 years ago in the top ten, she graduated last year there, Well, nevertheless, they are experienced, yes, The tennis players are experienced, yes. Well, that's clear, that, as Evgeny said, the rating is not he's lying, and if it costs 80, that means, accordingly, this somehow reflects play her game at the moment. Yes No, no, well, this is not, listen, peace quite stable and ambitious and the girl can see that yes, she had some there there will be failures and, naturally, there will be some there somewhere some distortions, because, well, Still, at that age, to win two a thousander, well, like, well, it's quite Many after This ended their careers, like Bianca Andrescu, yes, when he won the slam. After that's it, she's just gone. Elephant Stevens I didn't do anything there after the helmet either. That's why, of course, it seems to me, the world will consistently put tens. She has there will be some failures miniature, but it won't be there on the season is a failure. Well, it seems like she's in the third round should also pass quite confidently. She understands, yes, here here to me It seems Sakari was interested because that it seemed to me that she was a little bit I was thrown off balance by both the public and this a rebuke from Sakari, where she turned on there with the score 2:0. It was interesting to see this. To me It seems that Mira is not always there yet copes with this external surrounded by raging stands. She is such a favorite after all, and I She seems comfortable being the favorite. to the public. And when the public starts as much as possible against her, then here, well, Anyone can lose their head. Me too it seems like it will take her some time get used to it. Here. But, Well, I really liked how she said when the tribune starts to hurt against me. I want to play even better, to make it clear that you are not for him you are sick. Understand? This is very good This is also a psychological technique. There is this audacity inside her. No, but she doesn’t have what it takes, here she is feels very comfortable in the world elite. She came in very quickly and she didn't feels like a stranger there. It was visible from the very beginning that she is here on her own place, she feels the game, she understands, why is she here? And this one a small failure, well, that's what we have discussed at the end of last season, Now there is no trace of him. That is, now She plays patiently too, she She plays beautifully, she has excellent pauses in the game. She's in a very good place right now. in assembled condition. That's it the only question here is Zhenya, How many winners do you remember? Grand Slam tournaments that Did you win another tournament the day before? Here I still have to maintain good shape here for 3 weeks and play, this It's always such a dilemma to play or not play. Will it be beneficial or not? will take away those forces that were needed leave it for the Grand Slam? Listen, but I'm not worried about her now physical condition because I I watched the match yesterday, it was very interesting statistics were cited. Let's say, for example, speed, average speed of the first filing. It was the year twenty-five, It says that the world of presentation is average The speed of the first feed was 155 km. Now, here's how these two matches are She has 172. So, can you imagine, 17 km/h her speed increased. That there is, yes, that is, well, it is clear that there was very good physical work has been done Job. I'm not worried that she's not That's enough physically, you understand? I am more rather, as Dima said, that for her psychological state if she will believe that she can win tournament or to reach a certain point By the way, she will do it. That is, I am I uh, I'm inclined to believe that everything will be fine It will depend on her head. That's exactly it At the moment I'm not worried about her somewhere there she will get tired that she is there she outplayed that she played the tournament, she physically won't have enough. No, this is it definitely not my experience at the moment moment. My concern is that she she believed herself that she could do it do. Well, in Adelaide she beat the world Diana Schneider, our ambassador. And on Australian Open Diana is very much so He also goes confidently, and pleases his past I won the match of three matches, but this Totally fantastic. I'm sure, I'm sure machov. No, well, with machbobolo, but nevertheless she She found the strength in herself, she pulled herself together and Actually, she was playing against a local team. Australian tennis player. This is also not It's that simple. Here's from the point of view psychology. Another one of our tennis players, which is not lacking in physical data. That is, I’m not worried about Diana either. her physical condition, that she is somewhere she'll get tired there or what will she do after there was a grueling three-thirds match somehow I won't be physically ready for him. The next opponent is fundamentally This is Ukrainian Svitolina. And I think that This match will probably be the most the most interesting of all the third matches circle. Well, it’s also not easy, because first of all the queue is not very strong even in Ilina's game Suitable for Diana. That is, uh, that is, rotation, play on the back line, there are long draws for, there the girl will, uh, defend herself very much Fine. She's not too bothered by the powerful ones. blows, she will have to be beaten on one's own. And this is always the case The problem of hitting players, how to play actively and achieve blows there, conditionally to take off, but at the same time not to make mistakes too much, Yes, and here this balance, I don’t know, because such a game requires First of all, very good physical condition readiness, not there, yes, Diana has it there and ambition, there is also power in the sense of striking power, but the question is how long it can last do something for 2 hours. Ah, well Yes. That is, here we must count on what many ordinary players do, they are like this like Hamat Medzhedovich, there among the men, there are girls there, well, there are a lot of girls there too, who play really cool for the first hour, but then they start to sag physically, and there are players like Sakari, there Marina, Igor, Shventek, Kokogof, they pigulas, right? That is, those who, in principle, good in physical shape, they can play this level for 3 hours, no to fail. Well, and, naturally, just kind of not You can win by rolling or washing. And Nadal played at this level for years, Yes? Yes. It's not two hours, it's years. And Djokovic is there too, apparently. doesn't plan to finish, Yes. That's why everyone, when they went out play against Djokovic Nadale, after three games, all surrendered. I give up in captivity and I hand it over. I even remember when after three, yes, three draws games. I even remember when with Kantaveit We went, here she was playing in Doha against Shwiontok. There are the first three games and in The screw simply cranked up this tempo. AND After three games, Monet sits down transition. You can see from her there that everything is it's soured, there are eyes there They just climb on your forehead and that's it. And she understands that she, well, she just doesn't will be able to play two sets at this pace. She's there at three after three games I just sagged physically. And Iga has the same since this was the main thing, in my opinion, weapons. This is what she is physically she could simply strangle any opponent, and Now they might even kill her. And there Arina, and Rybakina there, and Ostapenko. Well, Anisimo. There are a lot of girls now, which, well, in their physical state. Tauson is the same, right? That is, simply Tauson is clearly not in good physical shape there but not at the same level as Arin's there, yes. Well, there are a lot of powerful players who can to hammer her. And, unfortunately, that Igo is not greatly developed other qualities. She, in my opinion, a little like Dania Medvedev relied heavily on this it's, well, how what he had, she had, yes, strong side. Ah, well, we want more in our TV show pay attention to the fact that Diana is in In a conversation with Anna Chikvitadze, she said, what she fears most is getting into to the world of Andreev. And based on yours reasoning, I understand that a friend is on they won't get to each other because both of them I'll have to, well, win my matches. I understand that you are not particularly interested in this. believe me. We hope that they will arrive My friend, I know who they are playing against, to It's not easy, you see, Svetolye is needed a player who is very easy adapts to the opponent's game here too you will need to play a perfect match from myself. That is, here we need to attack, we need will score. There will be no no here forced errors on Elina's part, and This is going to be a really tough game. She will be both physically and in general to endure Elina and pass, it’s like It will be very difficult. Who did Selikhmeteva contact? Let's, First of all, let's congratulate her. Today, yes, she beat Badosa. Well done, Listen, these are rating points for her. money a huge amount before this. I even remember, I saw it three years ago, She played the qualigars and quite interesting player. Then she had, In my opinion, serious injuries. Ah, but she somehow she trained in Spain, and, accordingly, he plays very well on clay not bad, and the game is a little, yes, that's it in the style of Sveta Kuznetsova, that is, there with trajectories, with rotation, but overall I think she is no, well, to beat Badosa, that's Indeed, this is especially Badosa Now she has, it seems to me, her second second wind a second wind opened up, yes. Third already, huh? Third or fourth, right? failures are great. Well, not failures there, well, it’s connected with herbs. Paz is to blame. Well, who else? It's clear. Men always guilty. There is always someone to blame. No, I just really want to point out Selikmetteevu, because, being very successful junior, this transition into Adult tennis was difficult. And if you pass quite quickly, 18-19 years, you fly into the top hundred of the rating, Of course, everything is fine. But in her case she I'm a little stuck and it's really hard, here, as you said, get out of this and at 23 years old enter the top hundred. A Why are we so focused on the first one? hundreds? This is an opportunity to play tournaments Grand Slam in the main draw, yes, and That's how colossal it is now in two matches move up in the rankings. Therefore, it is very joyfully, of course, she will be seventy the fifth already. She's not here for a minute yet played the third round, so here it is like I would really like to congratulate her. She Great guy, great little guy. This is the hardest it was a test for her. And, well, Badosa, Yes, despite the fact that it's constant complains that she has a back injury and that whether it plays or not, it's all the same a very experienced opponent, this is very A difficult player, yes. And that She came out of the first ball, I think, I was worried inside, of course, but didn't show it for a single second. Two breaks, immediately a breakaway and finished it off see it through to the end. Although this is all for her for the first time. First Grand Slam, Main Event net, for the first time a player of this level. This everything is very complicated. Great job, that She was able to do it. No, it's really very much her uh support for the future. Even now The tournament will end soon. I'm not right now I know, frankly speaking, what he has position in the ranking, but it's at least here reaching the third round, there are 10, 15 positions will rise. And this then he will give her the opportunity here tournament, which Wales there Kibiscayne Where, Well, the main mesh of helmets, that is, In general, it doesn't depend much on sponsorship money. That is, naturally, She has good money here. That is, she maybe I should already plan and budget there, and maybe hire a coach, or physicist, or someone else. Listen, whether you like it or not, it's 300,000. dollars for reaching the third round etochnykh developed. Well, this is this is huge. This is a huge support. This is huge support for her, well, for a year she can really, as Dima says, do everything plan everything there, then apply for the tournaments she needs will. Ah, but really, there's a rating there. between 50 and 70, that's a big difference. There somewhere you get to five hundred, somewhere You can already get there and participate in tournaments. series Mathers get there. This is this at least already, at least already pasta normal. No, no, this one is not fast. noodles, yes, there Rollton or what, Yes, Doshirak. Doshiraki, yes, then he can already afford it, maybe to show off. No, we are absolutely sincerely happy for her. May God grant her success in the next match. against Pegula, although there will be much more It's more difficult, but let's hope. You know what? Interesting? How to plan your budget Nayomi Osaka, who amazed everyone with her exit. I wanted to start with this, but perhaps we'll end with this. The most, Yes, it is generally discussed what happened this Australian Open. And ever here this umbrella, uh, hat, veil, image, inspired unexpectedly for some reason jellyfish, it's not clear why. But in general, She is very thorough about this, about everything prepared. She said it herself I said I was worried about whether it would fit at all. Does her umbrella have women's desires in her head? This is when this kind of this kind of not Let's just give a fashionable sentence now We will open here. Oh no, you know, that's what's interesting, when she when she and she burst into world tennis, Yes, to the elite, and she's just amazing. I played and it seemed incredible, but on a tennis player appeared on the tour who capable of competing and even beating Siren Williams' records. This is it we remember the eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-first year, when She took a helmet every season. She finished. She graduated for a reason mental problems, in particular, that she can't handle excessive attention fight this. It's gotten too big as if it were a burden for her. She leaves at the peak forms when it seemed that it was waiting for her stunning career. She stopped go to press conferences without communicating with journalists. Well, it's an integral part. it's still part of our work. Yes. It was great in our time, you know, no there were no social networks, no TikToks, nothing come out. There were only night clubs where Sometimes there are paparazzi behind the bushes, yes, at night they were looking somewhere there, yeah, where did he go Kafelnikov and Afina, what nightclub? in Paris before the matches of the third or what in New York there in New York Scores Club. Like Zhenya, you remembered your youth. Yes, yes. My eyes sparkled, phone I put it off and it all went away. Yes. The most popular strip club New York. Yes, tell me which one. Yes. And everything is a couple there. Where to go now? Safin won the 18th edition of the tournament in 2018. grand slam? Where? Oh, and now now everything now TikTok now everything now every action of yours is hers recorded, you understand? OK then Whether this is bad or not, I don't know. Well, let me finish my thought then. my. Listen, well, that's what I'm saying back then this attention bothered her, but now here, having returned after a break, after after she gave birth to a child, well, now she is no longer present With all due respect, she is certainly a good one a strong player, but time has been lost and now She wants him, she provokes him. Here this outrageous exit today with an umbrella, yesterday there literally, well, so figuratively speaking, yesterday there were fans in in her head there, that her time has passed, You see, she's trying to do everything well. during. I'm not saying it's her time passed, but when she was at her peak, you see, that's when you do you sincerely believe that after you took a break for a year and a half, gave birth baby, you're back and you can show the same results. Let's go with I bet you now that this won't happen. It's hard to win, let's start. Well, it's just impossible, you know? Of course, there is competition now, in the end, before the final you have the child will wake up at night, you will be his calm down and you will come out already broken. I even from that point of view, as it were I can tell you that motherhood is It is extremely difficult to do. So here, Well, it's a real, real shame that it's like this it worked out. It's a pity she couldn't then, at that moment, because that, which would fit well, say, Arina Sabalenka, if only she were like that came out now, that would be, listen, Well, that would be very relevant, that's it It would be interesting to know what her status would be, yes, and such outrageous exits, this is corresponds to the current situation, when you're no longer playing like this and not on this level, well, it looked a little It's strange that I'll make you happy, some Arina will present a surprise. Because she very jealous in general when judging by the interview she gave after the match second second round, I think we something like that She regretted that she had gone out without an umbrella. No, she is, I think in a couple She will arrange such matches. I literally saw it right in front of the studio, She posted, she got into trouble with Gucci. She played on the tennis court in such a very interesting outfit, such hovering, I don't even know how it is name it, a dress or not a dress. That is, maybe there's something in this for us I don't know what direction is expected. A very good PR manager. That is, and, Well, the same one as Osaki, if that matters. Here. And they are there in one you, because we are waiting, Yes, a bright new release. Will Arina Sabalenka, our Ambassador, to completely interrupt this whole thing Naomi's media history and fashion image Osaka and, well, he will probably still beat She is an Austrian tennis player Anastasia Potapov, right? What do you think? 100%. Yes, Well, yes, both. She is now, I just don’t see who is who can stop. Again it's clear, she He might lose to a lot of people there. Well then again to a little someone. Well, there are three or four. She can definitely lose to tennis players, but listen, if Osaka is there a year and a half has passed, someone else is there dropped out, Badosa is playing there sometimes, sometimes not plays, these are all the players who could play for her to compete, then Arina the last 6 years, 6-7 years of working hard and It is proceeding systematically and developing. That is No, you can't, well, I can't. imagine that in men's tennis You just fell out of favor for a year and a half. And There Murray tried to return for so long, did not return. Sasha Zverev now more or less returned. Here is the last one season only, as far as he was out. A Here girls can do nothing for a year and a half do not do and return like Onesimus. AND there is one simple axiom here, understand? Well, unless you play alone. day, here you are not training, you need 3 days to get back into shape. If you don't play for 2 days, then, accordingly, you are doing well mathematical progression. If you don't You play for a week, you need 2 months, to enter there, roughly speaking form, you understand? And here we speak about a year and a half not to play at all. Well, oh what can we say? And here is a man, which one is there does general physical training with a trainer who which Dima was there for physical training, everything was there everything is clear there, there is not the slightest thing the slightest step away from IT from that course, which you have there is, because, well, that is, there The priority is tennis, and everything else is just outrageous. It's attached, right? It happens here very often for some players it's the other way around, then There is a lot of outrageousness. Ah, well when did I I wrote something there too, a blog in my own time, they told me there: "That's it, "Cool, you write." I just understood, what if I wasn't a tennis player then no one would care that I I write there what I say. And all these Tsatsipasa's sayings, he is like a philosopher it will never work because he a tennis player who speaks intelligent thoughts, and not just a person from the outside. That is, all this interest is fueled only thanks to your tennis. so much will be perceived in the world of tennis, because we are the experts here, we specialists, you know? If we go there in the business sphere there or somewhere else there will be no one there because we teapots, we are here because we are We know tennis and we discuss it. That's why us, Yes, I just wanted to say, you for yourself as you say, who's the teapot here, who No. Of course, you are an expert, Lena is an expert, I am expert, and we know what we're talking about we speak. That's why we need listen to our opinion. If you, Of course you want that. If you don't If you want it, you need it there then you need to leave a comment below this video and like ours video. And right now I want us to We finally discussed our forecasts. friends of iskon, odds for matches, which our girls are facing. Come on to say something. Sabalenka without a doubt, Andreeva also has no chance overall, but Diana's match will be more difficult here. I don't think it's all that clear cut. Svetolina will win in two sets. Sitoli, of course, he can win, but I think I think, it seems to me, there is still based on the latest results Diana, that is, because, well, personal in including, I don't know personal statistics these, as they played before. I think there is also the fact that Diana, in principle, did not get through it so easily through the first two matches. First of the match. Well, she created these problems for herself, and it's good that she was able to solve them. She But she created rivals who in theory they delivered it, yes, they delivered it to her discomfort, you know? She's not that there, uh, she played, yes, not on the same level as Messi. She played against strong opponents. relative to that stage of the tournament where where she was. Of course, she has, probably the most complex grid was all our Russian rival girls. Yes. That's why Svetolina is in the third round. Yes, Indeed, this is a serious contender. Yes, indeed, there are certain For some reason, the match will be very, very complex both psychologically and physical plane. But I am sure that Diana can lose just like that, but She won't give up without a fight. Well, I would also like to point out that this is exactly if you compare Mira and Diana, then after all, the World has self-confidence, like in a tennis player, much more than Diana. And it doesn't matter there, Diana is there their trump cards. First of all, she is left-handed. She she she serves, she, how do you do it correctly You say she can break through. She has it in The arsenal has more than Mira. But another thing is the core of this, how it is this one will be able to mobilize too, you know, fight for yourself and stand your ground end. We'll see tomorrow. Let's. Well, there is a lot of variety in the game. She has a lot, you see, she went out, she has a plan I don't agree. I think it's the other way around here, I think Schneider has more more variety than Andrey's. What? Well it's just the only thing that Schneider has for sure like, much less - that's just it physical endurance to run here these three-set matches. That is me, Well, so far she has succeeded. Let's see. in the third match, yes, I did We just can't talk enough. Today This is a studio like never before. This so rich, we missed you. Let's leave all this for next time. Friends, stay tuned for the Australian Open. together with us, namely with Evgeniy Kafelnikov, Milena Dementieva, Dmitry Tursunov, and me, Anna Vasilyeva. Thank you all for watching. See you all soon. Bye. Yeah.
