#TennisWarehouse #talktennis #tennispodcast
Welcome to talk tennis Tiffany and Troy my te’s thanks for joining today t squared t squar t squared not Taylor Townsen oh but Taylor Townsen she’s on fire we both like Taylor so that’s cool yeah when Taylor’s Lefty what and choice Lefty yeah yeah we both play with ezone wow what else
Do you both wear dresses we both got swag she’s got some swag I don’t know if I do but um thanks for joining me you guys today we are going to talk about some Trends and gear changes
And gear updates and all the things we’re going to have this as a two-part episode so this is going to be part one we’re going to do ladies first we’ll talk about WTA and then our second
Episode we’ll talk about ATP that we know that this is coming out after the Australian Open has started but we’re still going to have fun with it because we’re recording this before it has started but the draws are outout it’s about to start it’s about to go down I actually haven’t
Taken too hard of a look we can look at the draw together which I think is great because I also haven’t really taken a look either I’m actually perusing anyone that qualified to start your your girl Yesa Diana mhm she qualified nice um Templeton 60k winner zaz Zara qualified qualif
Which is funny because I saw I don’t know it’s either between like the tennis Reddit or Talk Tennis but they were talking about how she’s been she is using a peer drive and like they’re acting
Like that was new but that’s she won temp with a peer Drive okay zarua okay yeah cuz there’s another player that I’m thinking of doesn’t wasn’t she Clash so they were player that was her maybe
Because someone was like Oh I thought she was using a Clash she was one of the few like You’ ever see like Pro players using Clash but she was using I’m 99.9% sure she was using a peer
Drive at Templeton yeah I don’t know there’s a couple players that I’m thinking of that who also played did she end up beating was it Taylor Townson that she played I’m trying to remember oh my gosh I don’t know I think she played Taylor Townson in the finals I need to consult with
Manan Oak they were there I looked it up at the just like a month ago yeah me too like yeah well okay moving on Katie volets also qualified that’s a good one good American and let’s see stormy is
That stormy Hunter did she change her last name maybe I think CU she Sanders storm Hunter maybe let me see let me see yes she qualified these are all let’s see oh Haley Baptist lost in the final
Round but two someone from Germany sidel s d uh Marino re Marino she’s Canadian she’s Canadian qualified beating a Canadian but be sabov okay I know that name she retired U Katherine sabov I think it is and then let’s see that’s about everyone that I is there a list of wild carts
Or is you know what let’s see let’s open up the draw well let’s while I’m opening the draw I’ll ask you guys who who’s like your hot pick for the ladies right now like who are you who’s trending
Who you watching who you paying attention to Troy I first one that comes to mind just cuz I watched her in United cup and I she lost lost a really tight one to Kerber is ISA she’s coming
Back off an injury and she was like in the in that match against Kerber it was like definitely like two different styles cuz IA I mean she she’s known to just hit with a lot of pace but she
Was like consistently ripping like she was like at the end of that match that third set she was like swinging out on everything but Kerber just you know barely got through her with consistency and her her experience her grand slam experience and all that but Isa looked pretty good hitting
The ball so hopefully she has a good run yeah yeah here come back for 2024 yeah yeah I’m like 2024 anyway I for me just looking for people to continue their great year that they had last year
Sabalenka coming back I’d love to see her repeat uh and then Coco continuing to to play strong right hopefully um also is Taylor town and she main draw I don’t know I was thinking we could go through the draw and that’s how we’ll discuss any gear changes and apparel because the first two
Matches in the first round are spicy already and I think it will be worth commentating and little like chatter on that just cuz and whatever pops up so um I did I do want to mention though you
Said Taylor towns in we’ve mentioned her a couple times already we obviously love Taylor around here just cuz she’s got such a cool story but she just won doubles Adelaide for the third time in a row
With a third partner she Maya and then last year she played with Louisa Stefani in one and then the year before she played with Asia Muhammad in one so she’s just like cleaning up at that tournament
That’s cool so she in doubles yeah she’s like no matter it seems like no matter who she pairs up with she’s she’s doing pretty good it’s almost like that back when Jack sock was like winning
A lot of doubles with whoever he played with Bob or Mike or right you know whoever yeah you were going to win a mat or a tournament if you were yeah which is interesting cuz I did kind of want
To talk a little bit about doubles and we can check out that draw too but it happens more on the women’s side this like Shuffle of Partners and like it’s the beginning of the season season so we’re seeing like a little Shuffle and I know there’s a lot of questions from people
Out there like why who you know do they hate each other but they’re not playing anymore like I know there’s been one that keeps coming up um we had Asia Muhammad on the podcast with talking about doubles and she had played with Taylor Townson and everyone’s like why is Asia not playing with
Taylor they are still friends mad beef yeah you heard it here first no um a lot of the times these players are still good friends like you even to the point where like Alexa gachi and Aaron rli split up in doubles but they’re still like having breakfast together like they’re still
Good friends their teammates all that but like either something just wasn’t working or they’re scheduled in the line and then like they start with someone else and it works for a while and until it doesn’t I guess or someone gets injured but even with like Asia I know she still really
Likes to focus on Singles and Taylor is kind of more she also is focusing on Singles but doubles first and anyways with that being said first round popcorn get your popcorn insert popcorn popping IGA is playing against your girl Kenan kenon yeah I heard that yeah yeah she’s back well
Is she I know she had a she had a decent year last year she’s played some decent matches of late um yeah I think I mean that’s the name you know that definitely could be a good match but I
Think uh ‘s GNA yeah I think once EA just gets in the match and if she can get Kenan moving around with her heavy Top Spin angles and stuff I think it might be a little tough but you never know well
In breaking news we have our first gear switch EA and she she be on shoes yeah in on shoes she went from a two endorsing the 298 to 300 two gr two extra GRS but I heard she customizes her racket
Or whatever anyways but still yeah she went from why do you think she switched I don’t know but she went from what the tempo was it what’s it called the Tempo Tempo 29 I we just I always call it the
Too I just called the EA 98 the official name I think that’s I think that’s part of it e 298 or something like that I think that’s part of it the name and the endorsing and the marketing of
It I think most of us racket nerds we just call just called the eego so I think the tempo line or whatever line T rebound whatever line it was Tempo 298 e is kind of getting lost so I think you know
With the T fight with Medvedev with bublick that’s kind of like their um Eubanks that’s kind of like their players players frame and she want to be and so I think I think they’re just making that
That t fight line even more strong that makes sense with her as part of the pack now H cuz there’s not really anybody that really endorses a tf40 other than render Nish right and you know so there’s not a ton of tf40 representation seems like T fight is there that is I mean
I feel like I can hear the internet though isn’t this new racket for her going to be a little bit [Music] softer well I guess it all depends on what she has customized yeah yeah yeah yeah it’s hard
It’s really hard to say but yeah I think the EA the tempo IGA 298 was like 67 68 something when we tested it yeah I like that they’re both 98 the 300 and so and the you know the racket head
Size and all that so if it is the the retail type of frame that she’s switching between yeah the T fight’s a little softer okay but there’s that yeah okay we’re gonna keep moving down because next match is also a popcorn match Danielle Collins Kerber Collins Kerber Kerber Kerber’s looking
Tough lately and but like I said that match in the united cup Germany won the whole thing yeah they did so her and Sasha I know Sasha was winning some good matches so them two in the singles she she’s
Playing she’s playing pretty good Kerber and like I think she kind of found her Rhythm through some of those matches kind of getting back into her old form um Collins I haven’t really seen her
Play much as of late so I watched her play last night and I’m not sure I’m going to look it up if she won and I want to say like the back half of last year she was kind of injury plagued a little
Bit or she was like she didn’t seem like she had a consistent year right she had some good high points for sure did she sit out because of injury at all last year I just feel like she I didn’t see
I didn’t see her in all the tournaments last year but she kind of and then yeah she lost to Martin’s wait that was last week what what’s today’s day happening um cuz she played maybe I was watching
An old match I don’t think I was watching an old match Danielle Collins played andreev is that how you pronounce her name Andrea Andrea it was okay actually we’re never going to get through
This episode at this rate sorry but she okay I need to know this in the middle of the match she like called her to the net and they like had a discussion but it kind of looked like Danielle
Collins was like not scolding her but like hey girl like this is how we do it like it was weird and I don’t know here’s the picture and here’s the outfit cuz I did want to talk about this and also
Talk about more techn fiber but they like had a fullon conversation at the net the empire was not involved oh okay so this is kuyang kuang isn’t kuyang kind of like an exhibition tournament oh
Is it because tifo was playing um rage I feel like it’s kind of like I don’t think it’s a I don’t think it’s for points oh dang okay but she is rocking the Andrea is wearing the new
Stuff so yeah that’s the new Nike slam dress and I think that’s free people movement with some Ruffles I’m not sure it looks like the FP I like the color movement yeah and then we got she
Wore that a similar onesie or not a onesie runsy runy in the summer last year and then Danielle’s also she was dabbling with the eaga is now also switch it looks like to well remember last year
Around BNP she that was we’re talking about her last year maybe not having a consistent year she was going from I can’t remember if she was Arrow or I know some yeah Arrow it was arrow and then
She was trying out techn fiber and now it looks like she’s now signed with techn fiber cuz for a while last year she was using a t fight but she was using the old version the RS okay she wasn’t
Even using the current cosmetic or whatever she’s honey so I think maybe she’s finally getting yes I think she’s officially working with techn fiber now so that’s cool so it looks like most of their players are T fights T fight fight T fights the players range even though I like the tf40 but
Whatever it’s all about the feel okay I’m going to just keep grinding through the draw and if you guys want to chat we can but the next round or not next round it’s I’m just going down from
Top to bottom uh we got a qualifier against a wild card so Pharaoh is a qualifier from France against Kesler who has got the wild card from the US so uh WTA yes we’re still doing WTA Kesler Kesler where
Does she play college tennis Florida I will tell you I love think it’s Florida we’ve got like our fact check I think she’s a gator I think she’s oh wait did she also play at Templeton I don’t
Know but I want to say she’s a gator College Tennant am I right or am I right um you are wrong no it’s just weird what comes up the above I think there’s a lot of Kesslers is her name
McCartney yes Florida Gators yes oh Troy actually that’s who full circle that’s who Taylor Townson beat in the finals of Templeton no she okay wait Taylor towns and beat her in the semi-finals of Templeton oh my God I’m losing my mind every it all comes back to Templeton well I just remember
To templ I remember the Kesler name I I I remember things feisty by reference yes so Taylor beat her in the semifinals of templon no Taylor beat her in the FI no because Taylor didn’t win Templeton Zazu
Zura did right I don’t know I I didn’t follow Templeton that well this year so sorry I spent a lot of time up there um but Kesler is a good she’s feisty she’s fun to watch so that’s that
Could be good yeah good for her um next noova okay you guys I will pronounce everything incorrectly but Troy’s got the correct pronunciation against Bova bov check on check bukova is good but she’s a little what she working with who I want to say she was sponsored by was she joa Bova for
A bit Marie bukova I guess we’ll find out and YX maybe but anyways I’m I’m taking I’m taking boova in that one I watch on TV she’s around like 20 in the world she’s been like around 20 in the
World she’s seated 31 so she she’s 30 now but um next round this one we can talk about Spina against Wild Card Preston from Australia Spina is now officially with aie nice that’s awesome and she say she was rocking AV a courtz lately I think so I haven’t seen any of her preseason
But that she’s tried a few different Adida shoes but I want to say she might be rocking that makes sense um next we’ll just keep going our own our very own team TB Kayla day Santa Barbara let’s
Go we be playing tomova tomova yeah which I don’t I mean could be winnable yeah I definitely know I’ve seen tomova in the draws so she’s got some experience at the highest level but hopefully Kayla she’s been training hard in the offseason yeah she did she switch shoes or anything she’s
Switching shoes like she was wearing a Nike Vapor Pro to and then last minute before she left for Australia asked for some asex so to try out mhm okay we’ll see we’ll see what she ends up with when we she steps on court we’ll we’ll know yeah some of these players we know
As soon as they know and they’re lacing them up um then we’ve got Christan against sinova I know you likea she’s like what been number one in the world in doubles yeah she’s solid um so wait who is the girl she’s playing I was going to say she’s the really curly-haired
One right yes um she is playing J Christian okay French or not Belgian oh Romania Romania okay she’s ranked 84 right now Romania sakova probably get through that I think I think so and then they would face the winner of gulich I should not be allowed to pronounce anything
And yes yes so kova is solid she’s teen seed yeah I like watching her play she’s just solid on everything she’s yeah that’s and she’s a little intense which we love that um okay our favorite player to talk about AAP Peno and Burell who got a wild card from Australia okay let’s talk
About AA peno’s style it’s AA Peno okay is it her own line do you know I’m not sure cuz I see like it’s got like a little cursive that something AO I don’t know if it’s Say Elena or it’s um her like
Her signatures or I’m not sure what brand it is but and it’s she’s always rocking some s she last week she was firing chair umpire she’s never again never GNA did you see that too do my match again
Never again so it was so funny I know a few of us have talked about it uh she was playing somewhat and she claims that the ball bounced three times and against the and that the Umpire didn’t call
Aarka a double boun oh I did see a bit of that match when she was playing Azarenka and yeah she I’m pretty sure in slowo asaro got a racket on it on this before it bounced twice before it bounced
Twice it bounced three times I can’t believe this you never doing my match again you’re basically you’re fire it was pretty it’s pretty it you know it’s like typical AA Peno just being like a little
Brat but it’s kind of cute with like her accent and stuff like I was kind of just laughing like this was great well and I leaning cuz I’m like yep that’s 100% something I would have said like yep
He never doing my that boun three times kidding me oh man okay uh below I’m sorry real quick AA Peno um you were talking about the apparel but it looks like she’s finally settled into a you know
A legit shoe I know forever she was using like Adidas takedowns yeah for like the longest time uh but now I think she got from Wilson with her Wilson racket she’s a rush Pro Rush Pro or Rush
Pro Ace but I think it’s the rush Pro so she got solid foundation with the shoe now and it matches the racket but doesn’t match the outfit we will see um below them Petra Mar Marti yep I
Like Marti and sorry no you’re good you’re good go for it she’s in that brand yeah we that we saw Jay lindenberg yeah yeah so what’s the deal with Jay lindenberg I you know I don’t know
Too much about I just I saw they make Golf and um is it like preppy and Ski and so I think they’re making a a push into tennis with also Eubanks EU I know we’re talking WTA but there his name
In there Eubanks Mar there’s another Mara vova IA interesting it’s very interesting to see there’s like so many more brands in tennis all of a sudden kind of cool it is cool but it like it’s weird cuz
I feel like sometimes people are like don’t bother ever going into tennis because like certain brands kind of own the space and now all of a sudden like this year it’s like anything goes well we
Saw that too I mean a Hugo Boss too I mean before that’s yeah so yeah there’s a lot of variety yeah which then we can talk about she will play Isa and isa’s rocking penguin still right and what
Do they have a new collection they should do but we don’t have it yet nice nice but she looks so good in their clothes and I feel like every woman that like watches her is like I want to look that
Good and her that stuff looks really nice so and um she’s jumped around from Footwear in the past but she’s now yeah Wilson racket she’s got some Wilson shoes I think she was using end of last
Year she was using the chaos sft so that chaos that lighter weight Beach you with that extra booty construction around the ankle um I don’t know if she’s trying a new one early this year
But that’s what she was in so um we’re going to get to her and I don’t know if she’s wearing it but do you know anyone off the top of your head that’s wearing Wilson apparel on the women’s side
Is Alicia Parks yeah okay supposedly this year um cuz I saw in the offes of her working in the gym and she had Wilson like Rush Pro shoes on and I was like cuz last year she was um I forget what
Was she as6 for a while she was as6 for a while I thought Fela no V but I know she was as she had solution speeds okay and so I was like oh Rush Pro shoes and I wasn’t sure about the Racket and
All that yet but now she’s blade racket Wilson racket Wilson shoes and I believe she’s wearing their you know their kind of nicer new apparel so head and toe Wilson kind of like uh the Ukrainian
Marta kuk oh okay she’s been all last year she was working all Wilson stuff yeah nice okay okay moving through we got Min verse ton Clara ton yeah German right no no she’s a lefty though maybe no
She is from Denmark Denmark I don’t know if she’s lefty or not but she’s young I want to say she was a yanx VOR Pro I don’t know if she’s still yanx it looks like she has yep it looks like uh yep it
Looks like it and looks like she’s righty though just on the photo but it’s okay you’re allowed to mess up once in an episode um below them is Georgie and Azarenka what’s Georgie Georgie just
Wears her own thing right I same I don’t know what it is but yes uh it’s it’s her name like backwards it’s uh uh cam Georgie so it’s like geo geo something oh yeah it also is like a scripty
Looking giom giom I think it’s something like that cuz it’s like Georgie and and Camila so it is something that she’s helped design or I don’t know if it’s her brand she owns it yeah I want to
Say didn’t her mom like used to make her I’ve heard that too I mean I never con was able to confirm okay and she’s uh VOR rackets pretty much all last year those are so popular on tour I feel
Like right now um and then we’ve got via who rocks the Nike Nike and do we know what shoes she’s been wearing Vapor Pro Vapor Pro nice two she actually wears the update actual update as far as we know
And she’s been with the same Wilson Ultra Pro Stock for a while nice then we have Navaro from the US she sorry a little congested but go ahead you no you’re good Navaro from the US who’s ranked
31 on the WTA right now exactly what I was going to say like I’ve seen her around for a while like she’s kind of been she was a highly touted Junior and like in the last like three four years I feel
Like she’s was supposed to break through and I would always see her once a year on TV and it’s always at Charleston South Carolina on the hardre clay which is where she lives so she must get like
A wild card or something like she’s always in that tournament I’m like em andaro imaro and then the other day I was looking at the rankings like holy crap she’s like top 30 in top 35 in the world CRA
She’s right there uh right kenan’s around the same ranking I think kenan’s just a few behind her oh man or end of the year there I need catch up on my yeah 38 dang I need to catch up on my
Tennis but like kenan’s one that’s one slams been at the top fell off came back this immigrant like like like she’s kind of like coming up like I feel like last year and she looks fitter than
Ever she look I just watched her last night on TV and like she’s playing pretty good they were talking about her forehand hitting heavy spin they were comparing her forehand to Jen Brady’s oh wow speaking of Jen Brady starting her comeback and then I don’t know I guess we’ll see if we’ll see
Her in the draw but I didn’t see her in the draw but anyways look out for Navaro Navaro you heard her here first or second maybe I don’t know Troy Troy says it um she’ll play Wang in her
First round and then the winner is it Q Wang yes or X okay so I was watching like the beginning of the preseason and there was like I I don’t know if it was a wing but like they both had the same
Last names and they both had like the same first initial and it was crazy but they both had like very different styles of playing but I get very confused um they’ll play the winner of kerto and son I’m sure it pronounced kerto wrong um and Son’s a qualifier from Switzerland so um below
That we’ve got Wick Meer playing greva graa gra graa yeah then we’ve got you have stringa playing vova that’s a good one below that this is a tough first round rabaka playing plova any changes pleas right the other sister does she still play it is Carolina 37 ranked player Carolina yeah
That’s had the the bigger career yeah yeah and then I guess there was a little rumbling about rabaka is she full head to toe Yonex or no she switched from head to toe Yonex no she is but
The toe part is the questionable one what is she wearing on her feet so she’s been she had heart initially she had a hard time getting rid of avoc cours and barricades cuz she was Adidas forever she’s tried the onic she there was a point where she tried the eclips and maybe one
Of the other yanex shoes but I think she kind of keeps reverting back to the Adidas shoes oh well she just won a tournament and she was wearing she was wearing the eclips yeah just wait wait we’ll see hopefully she sticks with them but that’s the only she wears their apparel and the
Racket and their bag but she’s had a little bit of struggle which we understand I know a player that has the same problem we won’t say our name um then that match we’ll play the win of Busa
Blinkova and then we’ve got Maria playing Osorio under that t Maria or whatever the German German yeah yeah and then under that schnader playing poina okay palini yeah yeah yeah she’s 26 she’s a Vore she’s got some Firepower and then we have Kina yeah thank you playing Roose Roose
Yep what did I just see I saw something um is Roose yeah does she have I feel like what is her what are is she hydrogen no oh I think she is I was just um about it’s an Italian brand
About like what or I don’t know if it’s about or AB out okay yeah cuz she’s kind of like flashy right it has a similar it’s a uh they have it at Tennis Warehouse Europe okay and they have
It’s like a that brand mhm newer one it does it give you hydrogen Vibes a little bit or no and just real quick speaking of hydrogen we’ll get it to it later with the guys but uh Christian
Garin Chilean switch rackets and the OB you switch rackets a lot in the last few kind of bounce back and forth but he supposedly he’s in a apparel brand that I forget the name of it but
It’s I think it’s a guy that used to work for hydrogen or owned hydrogen kind of branched off and started his own and it looks a lot like hyd the one then it would be the same possibly the
Same it’s got lightning bolts yeah I think so yeah what were you saying it’s called AB yes AB out or about it’s it looks like about so maybe that’s the same brand but if the see about.it would be their but I think their Instagram is like abore out oh man I’m struggling
Something maybeor it or something stay tuned um my it’s like saying it’s not a good site but I think I’m also just writing it wrong um tennis apparel yeah oh nope the first thing that came up was uo Oho which is anyone on well that’s more of a m mail
Play so we’ll talk about that anyways okay um go to Tennis Warehouse J up to check out about I don’t know um okay below that we have Colin ska playing Katy Vol nuts um then we have Sloan Stevens a crowd favorite at least here um playing the wild card from Australia gwii
Geki geki gki I think it’si I think um Sloan I always like to follow what Sloan’s doing what is she working with right now is she still using radical I think uh no speed speed just kid I think
Last year she ended up in speed and then she’s a free people movement player movement yeah and then what shoes are she I know sorry can’t remember it’s okay yeah it’s okay um maybe New Balance I
Think New Balance I was just going to say I’m pretty she wears a 996 a 96 girl mhm um then below that Payton Sterns that’s awesome to see her in the main draw playing our favorite girl
Kazaka kazakina yeah I can’t say it Daria Dasha Dasha she’s got an all Court game she she is one to watch she gets a lot of spin on the forehand and backand I like watching her uh below that we
Have Jen Q Jen from China playing Krueger from the US Ashlin Krueger yeah she brings some power below that I think this is a gear change Katie Bolter Katie Bolter the other half of Alex damau playing
Why you on from China oh she was just on TV in one of the warm-up tournaments what did Bolter have a change I thought I saw is she she’s wearing head she got a change in training or something cuz
She it’s like a change in her regimen or hitting with Alex more because in the um United cup her first couple matches she had playing really good she took out I couple pretty good players I think
She’s had to to Nike now which I don’t think she’s been Nike for a little bit oh I don’t know if they like had officially endorsed her but I don’t know it sounds like I want to say she was Nike last
Year and maybe the year before that but um Wilson I think she’s a blade I think she’s a blade player cosmetic um okay this one’s also another popcorn match Emma Raku playing our girl Shelby Rogers oo
Shelby okay seen Shelby playing a little bit so Shelby got married in the off season which like was so cool and they went on like this awesome like honeymoon to like see the Northern Lights and all kinds of cool stuff um she’s such like a disciplin player it was really cool to see
Her like actually take time off and then I mean I’ve seen I follow her on Instagram and she’s been training and like her trainer is like one that I also follow cuz I just think like he has really good training like skills and everything and she’s already like super intense but it will
Be interesting to see how she comes back now she’s playing as a married woman and maybe she has like I don’t know I mean planning a wedding can be stressful so she probably had all of that
On her plate last year and now she’s like happy and in love and I love her yeah that could be a good match I I would typically go Shelby like when but I feel like last year she wasn’t consistently
Playing the whole year yeah so this could be a good match for Emma like if Emma’s playing good I think she might be able to get that yeah I saw Emma playing start of the year I think she was
Playing Spina the match I watched she’s striking it good it was a matter matter of consistency for her nice um then we’ve got Wang and chista yeah is she still New Balance I think so she was it last
Year yeah I haven’t seen her playing this year I’m think she I think she’s still eone and then we’ve got zuu playing DotA oian doin that’s the French girl yes that former plester Julie grew up with and they played doubles together oh that’s awesome shout out to Julie yeah so cool and then
We have Zara zua playing I just like saying her name ranada zarua playing trisan ital from Italy right I want to say she’s Lefty she’s Italian she’s not super tall but she she had a good
She’s Lefty confirmed she had a really good run a couple years at the French say she made the semis or finals of a slam she’s rank 60 right now I feel like you see her yeah she was up in like close to
The 20s I think um and then we have kunich she has been grinding for a minute cuz like isn’t she like I just remember watching yeah and then uh Burell and then we have Marino playing Pula pegula that
Could be a Rebecca Marino is one of those players that like she’s kind of on a comeback grind she’s 33 I know I think a lot of the players respect her from what I’ve heard and like that could
Be a that could be gritty I think the is taking her down [Laughter] okay I’m here for the okay it’s no secret she’s not my favorite of the WCA players but like her press conference are fun
Who are you talking about Pula oh yeah dude P’s great you know oh and wasn’t she wearing um Uber Sonics she we were just talking about this yeah thanks for REM um she was like barricade forever
Last year and then all of a sudden this year she shows up in Uber Sonic she be lighter faster I guess I mean she’s so fast already she’s got good footwork and solid technique she does everything
Really good you know maybe it’s the bills thing that I just yeah ever since the US Open Heineken interview I’ve been a fan um and then we have Sakari playing habo okay big switch there’s a
Switch with Sakari talk to us she shifted right yeah that’s what she shifted how did I not know this Sakari shifted wow and like it’s like a legit looking shift shift shift 999 or shift Pro
I didn’t count the string bed I would want to say it’s the 1620 uhuh from her previous racket which was a 1619 I believe she always played with that more powerful Ultra Pro Stock which kind of based
Back off of like I think like a old impro like the old Brian Brothers kind of Pure Drive Wilson whatever but uh anyway I had that one anyway yeah yeah yeah the impro impro open but anyways yeah I
Watched her United cup I think she was playing and I’ve seen some of her matches so far and uh yeah I think she beat Kerber um that’s a good win and the thing I noticed is that she was swinging
Like swinging pretty free like ripping the ball and I feel like this racket’s giving her maybe a little bit more control I don’t know if it’s that like kind of like softer Flex in certain regions of the the shift but I feel like she can swing out maybe get a little more control
Maybe not as much it didn’t seem like maybe uh as Lively for her like but I think uh maybe it could be a good switch hopefully yeah uh um and then Adidas do we have a theme or a Vibe behind
Their collection well there was the this the idea is like a f like mental focus so or calmness CU there’s in the line it’s a mix of greens for a calming calming color and then the other color
That’s is the gray a bit of softer gray yeah I have a calming pad on today you guys I had a really bad dream like woke up really like in a weird space so I’m trying a caling pad so that’s
On brand and I’ve got a lot of blue it’s not reality I’ve got a lot of blue going on it’s cing it’s Australia it’s oh we know why you got a lot of blue but I got the green on oh my you
Got the blue I got the blue you got the green we’re basic Australia not football not football um okay grinding through this draw cuz we haven’t even gotten to the second half um bye from China
Playing aanan oh my gosh uh a you don’t even know who I mean anyways I think I do know who you mean Ava nessian where’s she from it either Bulgaria or Russia because there’s no flag yeah there’s
No flag and she doesn’t have a profile well that’s sad um c c k yeah against Clare Lou that one I can say so Marta is the one Wilson head to toe wearing their like new Wilson collection last year she had
All the dresses last year she plays Rush Pro Shoes I think Wilson Blade endorsed yeah yeah so she’ be good and then CLA Lou she was A6 last year she was A6 last year and I think radical yes yes yes we’ll
See I know there’s been a lot of changes and some of the brands have gotten really tight and some are not um then we have Sheriff against Mertens okay Lynette against wasaki who got a wild card
And wasaki is now all Adas right she’s back yeah and she’s cyber baby wearing the cybersonic right or allegedly yeah so we’ve been told yeah okay and then cornet against Teo fiva teoa she was
A qualifier hor Al I was going to say feel she also got a wild card I wonder what she’s going to be wearing cuz she’s been Lotto for a while but lot seems to be yeah kind of losing players so and
She’s a strike player yeah okay so stay tuned um cus TMO playing Cora qualifier uh you guys these names thank you plain Hadid may may Maya Hadad Maya rtoa is a good upand coming kind of
Player but we’ll see and we had Hadad oh my gosh I just call her Bella Hadid so then I mess it up but she switched to A6 yeah from Joma was she yes she was yeah and she’s rocking Joel Rez okay here’s a
Fun one that we can talk about this is also like a popcorn match to me Caroline Garcia what the heck kind of shoes is she wearing is always the question and Naomi Osaka so okay Garcia she’s
YX but has been wearing New Balance shoes and then she had like okay y in the offseason she had like this yonic shoe I think either they were trying to copy the 996 or it was a 996 with just
The yanx label but I just saw images recently and it looks like she’s back into a new balance shoot yeah I’m having like deja vu from like a couple years ago so her as well as rabika kind of yeah
Yeah and I think she’s like yeah the 996 yeah I think you just said yeah like the older one the four not the five like the four the 4.5 yeah and then Osaka we’ll see her endorsing the eone aqua
Night is she or is she using her Osaka cosmetic just kidding I don’t know cuz she did yeah she did have that o her own special I the training leading up like when she was in LA and stuff she
Still had her Osaka the the Osaka cosmetic okay but maybe I’m not sure I don’t know and then like that comes to the same thing with the shoes we saw her in the preseason wearing GP turbos but
There is a GP challenge one with her Cosmetics so it’ll be curious to see if she wears that yeah I have a feeling that she’s going to show up in the GP turbo in the Australian
Yeah which kind of sucks for us because I want to see her in the new shoot but I think fo’s rocking it maybe Sab alenka and uh we’ll see if other players we’ll see okay then we have
Fretch playing Seville Putin SAA playing zacharova interrupt me if you want a chat huon juvon playing poaa one that married the is that the one we were talking about poova I told you the young Russian couple she’s married to oh yeah you you was it poova and

She recognized that that was like an exclusive opportunity and like she bought a bunch for her I don’t think she cares that I share this but she does have quite a big foot so when she was
Making the order they thought that she was like ordering for her coach because she wears a fairly large men’s size and they were trying to restrict her from ordering but they were just for her and
Like she just wanted to stock up for the season they were you know they were screening it doing their job kind of like the uh the gatekeeper at against Roger so for anyone listening we have WTA discounts for the WTA players but it’s just for the players not their coaches not their friends
Not their family it’s for the players and they do have to be verified um and so that’s what’s funny so now she has a note on her customer file that says I think she wears a men’s 11 and a half
Like this is her shoe all good um I’m excited to watch her yay um Perry’s playing Wang alexandrova is playing sigment Alexandro yeah that’s my demo demo Court girl she’s she came and like tried was she the one using Prince or wanted to try Prince or no no she wanted to try different
String patterns of the blade okay got cuz in the past she used the Blade 98 if you remember the old spin effect oh yeah 18 by 16 and so she’s like ah they’re not making this anymore I want to try 1820
16 19 so she hopped in line with the rest of the demo people go and no one knew who she was other than the fact that she had a really nice ball yeah they were like oh she’s pretty good yeah
Yeah she was cool that’s awesome I love those stories um Hunter playing arani I didn’t know Sarah Aron was still grinding another another B&B story she showed up in the in the tent either last

I don’t even know if it’s oh no it’s not there never mind I was going to say let’s take a quick look at the Double Draw but they’re not out yet that sucks um did we miss anyone that we wanted
To talk about about changes in the things um WTA side don’t think so cuz we went through all the players in the draw yeah this was a little all over the place this it’s been a year since we’ve
Done one of these we need to do more of these in 2024 but it’s tough sometimes just navigating getting people in here and then also the draws and all the above but cool um stay tuned for the ATP

Agreed with Tiff I love the Coco play I also okay here’s going to be my hot take I love sabalenka but I want to see an win a grand slam oh yeah I would like that too I think yeah I would like to
See it on the grass but any anywhere but I like her style you know but yeah what you think oh I would love the same like on and at Wimbledon I mean I would love for her to win any slam but
If she could come back at Wimbledon yeah and she lost to what rakina there she’s lost yeah yeah that was a heartbreaker but yeah but I don’t know I there’s a lot of young um young players coming
Up and I I I keep saying this to Troy I feel like I need to like dive back in I feel like I’ve been like you know once Uso open finishes I’m like okay we’ve got a bit and like I get distracted
