Speaker 1:

Welcome to the Serve Podcast with Andy Roddick. You'll be hearing this on Tuesday. Happy pre-Roll on Garros week. Simply, you will be hearing a ton of preview shows this week. This one will be kind of an extended version of Racket Rundown, brought to you by Wilson, but our big preview show we're going to shoot it Thursday after the draw comes out. It should be on T2 on Friday evening, so look for us there. Anybody who does any sort of preview show before the draw is out is completely full of shit. Mike.

Speaker 2:

I just don't know what you're previewing.

Speaker 1:

Well, I think Rafa is going to get to the quarters. Oh yeah, what if he plays Alcaraz first round? Like anyone who does spends time previewing or making predictions outside of? Like, okay, he is probably going to win. I don't care about the draw, like that's like draw. She's probably going to win. I don't care about the draw, like that's like draw. She's like immune to a lot of the conversation. But if you're doing like I think I think Rafa is going to make the semis, like you don't know who he's going to fucking play. So that's an impossible thing to say with any sort of confidence. So ours will be out.

Speaker 1:

We are going to wait to do our big preview show, uh, after, after the draw comes out on Thursday. You will be able to hear it Friday evening. We are going to put out an audio on Saturday, friday night, saturday morning. It's going to come out at the same time. So check in with this show.

Speaker 1:

This is going to be racket rundown brought to you by Wilson. We're going to talk about all the goings on, just general trends of players, what we like, what we dislike, uh, before we will release a huge Roland Garros preview draw, specific. Uh, we'll run through the entire thing, uh, for your listening. Uh, pain or pleasure, whatever, I don't know. Um, that'll be a Friday night and or Saturday morning, depending on what time you go to sleep. Um, okay, so Rome was. Rome was interesting, right, I mean it's, it's, it was like another one of those on the men's side, where it was, who wasn't there? Uh, carlos wasn't there, sinner wasn't there, novak and Rafa weren't there for long. Um, you know, so this has been maybe the weirdest clay court season I've seen in 25 years. Uh, it's, it's, it's just been strange. And so, as the betting odds are coming out, uh, for Roland Garros, it's like the first time in a long time where it's a real conversation. Will the winner of Roland Garros be a first time winner, right, and so, again, we don't know draws, but it. The only reason I asked that question is because it's the first time winner, right, and so, again, we don't know draws, but it. The only reason I asked that question is because it's the first time in decades, like two decades, where you're going huh, okay, well, let me think about that, whereas before it was like, nope, no one's going to sneak one in, and you know, silich would. Uh, malrinka, obviouslyinka, obviously had his run, but it was super rare and it wasn't much of a conversation going in. You know it was an upset of epic proportions if it wasn't one of the top four guys. And then Alcaraz entered the conversation. Sinner winning was not a surprise, but like opportunities knocking and I know there's a.

Speaker 1:

I have a list of players who are probably licking their chops, because the betting favorites are Carlos Alcaraz, who hasn't played any tennis. He pulled out of Monte Carlo. He pulled out of Barcelona. He won some matches in Madrid, which was a really good effort, but said he wasn't really hitting forehand, so he made the quarters without a forehand. Uh, pulls out of Rome, is not playing the week before the French open. Uh, did not take a wild card and so we'll have played three matches since losing in the quarters of Miami.

Speaker 1:

Here's your betting favorite, ladies and gentlemen. We certainly know what his upside is, but you kind of have to play tennis to be a tennis player. That's the favorite. That's how uncertain this draw is. Novak, next in line, takes a. I've said before on this podcast if you see a top player take a wild card into a 250 the week before a slam, they are trying to find something in no uncertain terms. Novak takes a wild card into Geneva Geneva. Do you think the tournament directors are happy that they just got Novak for free? I think that's going to be any good for that event. Rough draw, though. Like Taylor Fritz decided he hasn't had enough tennis, he's playing Geneva. Ben Shelton playing. I'm sure that has nothing to do with appearance fees? Sure, has nothing to do with it. I'm Casper rude deciding like he wants to play the week before because that doesn't have anything.

Speaker 2:

What if you're like that 150 players like Geneva is going to be my year guys and also need to get up to this.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Geneva's 50 players like geneva is going to be my year, guys and also needs up to this. Yeah, geneva's maybe next year. Uh, so geneva all of a sudden stacked lineup the week before the french. But this is novak's formal admission by action that he's searching and he said that much after rome. He's like I didn't even feel like myself. Um, so he's the second favorite according to Vegas. The third favorite, I think, at minus three 50. I think I think the last I saw outgrows is minus two 10. Novak was minus two 50. Uh, center was minus three, 50. Um, soner's the third favorite.

Speaker 1:

Klay's never been his favorite service and we're worried about what he saw on an MRI on his hip, which is never a good thing for a tennis player. That made him pull out of his home event of the biggest tournament in your home country. After you have become the dominant force in tennis over the last six months on the men's side, you've had the best six-month run. You've won massive titles. You've had an unbelievable run in year-end finals, lost in the final, then led your country to the Davis Cup title. Then when the Australian open, then when Miami, I mean, it's this, it brought her to him. I just would like randomly forget about all your successes. That's how good you've been, become a household name in Italy. And then whatever we saw in that MRI is bad enough to where we're not risking playing in Rome as an Italian. Uh oh, by the way, every tournament he plays now has ramifications for getting to number one in the world for the first time. That's your third betting favorite. Your fourth betting favorite is now Alex Zverev, deserved right After he played great in Rome, start to finish. I feel like we didn't even, because the storylines were so insane. I feel like we didn't even talk about Zvere. Great in Rome, start to finish Like I feel like we didn't even be, because the storylines were so insane. I feel like we didn't even talk about Zverev in Rome until he played Taylor Fritz in the quarters and then played a great match against him, ran right through him four and three and Fritz is playing great Hiccup against to be low in the first set down six one gets through that second set breaker, runs away with third set. I like the matchup for him against Nicholas Jari, who also we'll talk about, had a great event and wins.

Speaker 1:

Rome is one six masters, 1000 tournaments. Now I mean, this is this guy is a slam away from, you know, being a hall of fame player Like you. Look at his career stats. The guys won a lot of big tournaments. He's won year end finals. He's won Rome twice, won Madrid. He's won massive I mean the 2020 US Open.

Speaker 1:

I think has dictated a lot of the narrative, because I think he would probably tell you that he fell apart at the end of that match, right, that's when the serving yips were at peak. So I think, from that on, we kind of ignore his successes to point at that one thing and we the the conversations ends up being the Romo conversation of not how good they are, but what they don't have, right, which is kind of an impossible place to live. Um, yeah, that that sucks, but you know, his serve is phenomenal. He, he's making, he serves. His serve is phenomenal. He has one of the biggest serves on tour this year. So not for one match, which would be an insane set For this entire year. He is serving 74% first serves in for the entire year. Now, no one else is close to that, even massive servers. Kyrgios is the only one and he's a podcaster now, like me, but Kyrgios serves close to 70%, like this 74% first serves in.

Speaker 1:

I was known as a high percentage first serve guy. While also hitting it I don't know that I got to 70 for a year one time. This guy's serving massive and he kind of has adopted. So compare that producer Mike to 2018. He was serving 64% first serves in. He was serving 64% first serves in. So 64% and now 10 percentage points up over that period is absurd. You know, the best way to protect a faulty second serve is make 10% more first serves. Why so? Do you remember when Marin Cilic got together with Goran Ivanovic right before he went and won the US Open? Ivanovic lowered Szilag's toss by like a foot and all of a sudden the rhythm was easier. Szilag used to bring rain on the serve. It was painful, but that's also so much harder to time when you're waiting for it to come down, and then timing it perfectly Brought it down. So it was in one motion. Zverev's done the same thing. It's been like the least talked about adjustment that has, uh, manifested in incredible success. Um, and maybe it's cause he was hurt for a little bit of it. I think they probably made the adjustment to help a second serve and this is just me guessing completely just by watching Second serve has become a little bit more reliable.

Speaker 1:

There are still some icky ones, but the first serve is he's not, he's you hit 10% less second serves, double faults are going to come down and he's able to put that second serve in the middle of the box, not going for the kick as much, not waiting on it, not getting creative with the toss, just kind of throwing it into the center of the box most of the time. On the second serve, he's playing great. We've never questioned his movement. He's one of these new age cyborgs who's six foot six and is bendy and gets out of the corners. He's one of these new cyborgs that just fires back in line flat everywhere slides open stance. For him, the question mark isn't whether or not he can make it, it's whether or not he can attack the best players in the world off that side. Some weeks he can, some weeks he can't.

Speaker 1:

Rome, he had that forehand line. When he's confident in that forehand line, he becomes very tough, because there's not a lot of places to go after him and just being consistent against Zverev isn't good enough. You have to have something that can beat him up. You just have to. Whether it's Alcaraz's power or Medvedev's ability to hold serve, you know, and serve 130 himself. And keep the ball down on that forehand side and consistently ask the question if you're just playing a stock game, you're, you're, he can, he doesn't miss. He's six foot six, he moves well, he doesn't miss any serve. Seventy four percent for serves. So he enters the conversation of favorites, true to the twenty twenty four.

Speaker 1:

Roland Garros men's side. Going in, he has a trial for domestic assault. That starts the first Friday of Roland Garros. There's going to be seven or eight court dates, the last one potentially being July 19th. He does not have to be in court for physically, so it won't affect him being at Roland Garros. He will be there, he will play till the end. This is the second set of allegations, the first one that has, uh, manifested in charges being pressed. He has paid a fine of 450,000 euros. Is that right? He objected that fine, he. But he, he, I thought he paid it and then I don't know either way.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, I don't know how the German courts, but that's, that's the reason why he's having a trial now, because he objected that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so, yeah. So he was fined. Now I don't know if it's he's physically paid or if you have to pay and then work backwards from there. I don't know, I'm not a lawyer, but the reason why he is going to trial is because he basically rejected that fine and, knowing that he was going to reject that fine or appeal that fine, the action of that is a trial and that's where we're at with him. So our fourth favorite number one favorite has a forum and hasn't played tennis. Number two favorite, novak, is searching. Hasn't really won matches this year. Took a bit of a panic wildcard into Geneva. Third favorite has an hip issue. Saw something on an MRI, didn't like. He's up in the air about whether he's going to play. Fourth favorite has a domestic abuse trial starting. Fifth favorite is a guy named Rafa Nadal who is ranked 310 in the world. It's it's all a mess. Makes it kind of exciting, though, like you, don't know.

Speaker 2:

Can't wait for this draw. Preview show.

Speaker 1:

Shit man, the draw is going to like dictate a lot of thought. There's a bunch of sleepers and so, like, if you're one of these names and past these names, because you can convince yourself that you're in this block and I'm sure I'll get someone wrong, but if you're like you're Dimitrov, you're Hubie Hurkacz, you're going okay, this is my favorite service. But like, can I make a semi? Maybe Rublev wins Madrid Never made it past the quarters of a slam. Taylor Fritz puts together a great clay court season like better than his Indian Wells. Miami run. You know semis Madrid, munich, quarters in Rome and then obviously, when you've played that much tennis, you should enter a two 50 the week before Roland Garros appearance fee.

Speaker 1:

Steph sits a pass wins Monte Carlo doesn't play great in Madrid, plays really well in Rome. He is matchup dependent. You get a Nico Jari. Steph is great against guys who also like to flip the ball high with topspin. He loves that. He can kind of get one shoulder lean back and he can just flip it better than you. He can take the forehand from the middle of court. He was sitting the forehand from middle to the other person's forehand flat. Great in Rome. He played really well in Rome until he ran into Jari. But when he gets it up and he plays a guy who's six foot seven and likes to hit it down, it becomes tough, like you think.

Speaker 1:

Oh, since the past, jari on clay like it's obviously a win, for I was, I humbly say, this week. I was on absolute fire this week with my picks on air for TC and it's all matchup dependent. It's not because I think Jari is a better clay court player than Steph, it's just because of the matchup. Steph gets the ball up. It's tougher to get the ball up on six foot seven. Jari likes the ball shoulder height where he can drive it to the corners. Steph is not a great first serve returner. He is a really good second serve returner. Jari has a bomb of a first serve right. So it's just all these little kind of matchup things. It doesn't mean that someone's a worse, better, worse tennis player. It just means the the matchup favors someone over someone else.

Speaker 2:

As these guys get taller, like that, you know, and if you are a guy that likes to play the ball up like that, how do you adjust, kind of on the fly, looking at your matchup?

Speaker 1:

Well, he can only adjust so much. It's not as if Steph's going to come and hit back and flat like it. That's just not what he's going to do. If you're Steph, you look at. Ok, do I chip first server, turns in and then take first ball line. Jari is great, but he doesn't like to move right. When you get him moving he starts flagging balls, maybe drop shots, maybe short chips, like Fed was so good about against playing us doofuses where he would hit that little short chip up the line and we would like our heads would explode, you know. So there's different ways to look at it. But Steph, like, isn't a natural slicer of the ball for someone who has one hand. Normally one handed players are pretty, you know, slice fluent. I don't know that he is, but he's, he's on the next, the next list. He's, he's are right there.

Speaker 1:

You know this guy's been in a French Open final up two sets to love before Won Monte Carlo. He's won Monte Carlo three times. The guy knows how to play on the surface, completely, turned his year around to his credit, was searching after Miami and found it for the clay court season. He's one of the ones. You give him the right draw and he's in there. And you give him the right matchups and he's in there. And you give him the right matchups and he's in there. But he's as draw and matchup dependent as any of the favorites. You look at Kasper Ruud Weirdly, two-time defending. He's made the finals the last two years in a row. We don't talk about him. He's made the finals. He's made three Grand Slam finals Two in Roland Garros, one at US Open. You tend to think you started off great Monte Carlo final and then won the next week against Sitsapas. I think it was.

Speaker 1:

Barcelona Faded a little bit in Rome. Sorry, madrid, didn't it lost to FAA? Okay, you write that off as like a weird. Like Madrid. The courts are like the altitude is weird, it's like half indoors. It's not like a true kind of clay experience. And then in Rome, lays an egg against catch Montavich, wins the first at six, oh, and then kind of goes away. So, not like normally. He was kind of a late. He would kind of develop into the clay court season. But he's there, he's going to get some reps early. I don't. You don't see him getting upset by someone who doesn't have the weaponry. Uh, you know, demon are is top 10. He's played. Okay, on on clay.

Speaker 1:

Tommy Paul entered the conversation this week in Rome. Right, like he, he made his. He made semis there. He's played great. All of a sudden you look up and he's made. He made semis there. He made semis in Australia last year. He made semis in Indian Wells this year.

Speaker 1:

Guy can play. He's not scared of going after the top guys like he's. His transition game from back of the court to the front of the court is maybe the best in the world this side of Alcaraz at this point. Super fun to watch, super athletic. Uh has become super professional. So props to Brad Stein and Tommy for kind of uh, you know, figuring out what it means to be a complete professional.

Speaker 1:

And Nico Jari you know the conversation little little riskier. Misses balls, but God, he fucking pounds the ball like crushes serves, like foreh, just crush. He's hit or miss. But he, he could be a matchup nightmare for some people. Like sits a posse's. I think he's five and two against him. Like you, give him the right matchup, he's gonna. He's gonna beat you up a little bit and he can, if he has a hot serving day, lands a couple of big returns. Um, you know, again, he could. He's someone who could get upset first round depending on it, or could be in the semis. So it's just anybody's ballgame.

Speaker 1:

Tabilo shit makes the semis of Rome and is up a set 6-1 to enter the final, beats Novak there, follows up by Hachinov, follows it up by the guy. I kind of thought there was going to be a little bit of a Novak hangover. And no, you're a dummy because I'm going to make the semis. But you could tell the workload at the end of the week like he kind of went away in the third set against there of mental, physical, whatever it is. But long winded version of saying anyone who tries to say who's going to do what, especially on the men's side of the draw this year, before we actually have a draw to break down, is full of shit Mike.

Speaker 2:

I mean no, you definitely look thirsty. You should probably grab an lollipop.

Speaker 1:

That's true, I'll grab one. I am thirsty. Thank you for thinking about me.

Speaker 2:

You're welcome.

Speaker 1:

Should I have orange? We have so many flavors. I am thirsty. Thank you for thinking about me. You're welcome. Should I have orange? We have so many flavors.

Speaker 2:

I know they have wonderful flavors.

Speaker 1:

Orange and slow and sugar.

Speaker 2:

Oh, maybe you can have two today. A little prebiotic I like prebiotics.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, root beer. Anyone want one. Sean, you want one, mike you want one. Yeah, sure, on, yeah sure I'll take one.

Speaker 2:

I'll take um. I'll take one of the root beers cream soda. Anyone? Sean you good, sean said great, please.

Speaker 1:

Classic grape all right, classic grape, here we go. All right, here I'm going to hand you a root beer with a side of shamelessness. I like how they just hear you. That's what everyone wants to hear is just my guzzling shit. The men and women have basically flip-flopped. I've flip-flopped in the last two years. It used to be you'd go in and say, okay, 15 women can win this event, even like up till last summer maybe. And the men it was like, okay, you're looking at four. And now it's kind of flip-flopped, right Like. You have Iga who is like Rafa style favorite. Um, I think there's like outside of her own nerves, right like if she gets to, you know she took a weird loss to Sakari a couple years ago at the French Open and she just kind of looked nervous. I think she has so much confidence right now I don't think that will matter. It's not like when she goes into Australia and there's like this weird fourth round and she doesn't have the build-up. She has a build-up of final.

Speaker 1:

Stuttgart win, madrid, win, rome has taken out the top players in the world Maddie Keys, two weeks in a row. Sabalenka, two weeks in a row. Koko Goff she's the out-and-out favorite. I mean, she's just so much fun to watch on clay. Her footwork is unbelievable. She just smothers you, is hitting the ball line more than I've ever seen, takes the back end from the middle of the court, so she doesn't need to actually get forehand, she's just taking that and creating angles from the middle of the court. She's just phenomenal and she's just relentless, physically, mentally. So obviously EGA favorite. And then it's like Sabalenka, coco Rabacchina have been the consistent figures in women's tennis.

Speaker 1:

Coco had a great semi in Rome. You're kind of searching for something a little bit Hit the forehand as well as I've seen her hit it. Serve is still a bit. The first serve was actually a lot better in Rome. Second serve is still. You know she's battling it. She's battling, you know I think she's battling a bit of a mental issue. Uh, on the serve, and you know you can do, do it in practice, but doing it under the lights is a different deal. She's had it before. Last, the last tournament she played in Cabo last year. Um, she had 25 double faults in one match, um in November of last year. Um, she had 25 double faults in one match, um in november of last year. Uh, she'll find it, but the the ability for her to like get through tournaments and beat top players even while like just obviously struggling with something is is phenomenal.

Speaker 1:

Rabakina did not play uh in madrid. She let a massive lead go against Sabalenka in the semis of Madrid. But the thing that we don't talk about enough is she's 2-0 against Iga on clay. She's 4-2 overall against Iga in their head-to-head. Rabakina's top level, I think, still scares the shit out of the other top players. I don't know that she is as consistent like Sabalenka finds it all the time. Iga finds it all the time. Coco, even when she's playing badly, still gets deep and draws, but Rabakina is upside. You rarely see her beat when she's at the tail end of a tournament.

Speaker 1:

So those four the only kind of two people that I see interrupting that that four ball a little bit right now, based on current form, is obviously uh, your favorite Danimal. The Danimal, yes, the Danimal, danimal. Uh, she's playing great. I mean, she gosh. The only person she loses to uh is Sabalenka. That's it. Sabalenka played an unbelievable match against her in the semis of Rome. She played phenomenal. Mike was just beside himself for days, and the other person who's playing fantastic right now and has made that switch with her Wilson stick. Which racket rundown is brought to you by Wilson is Maddie Keys. Semis Madrid quarters in Rome. The only person she's lost to in the last two tournaments is Iga.

Speaker 1:

So like Coco Keyes, collins, maybe match up against Saba, that's bothering her. But like there's so many of these players like oh yeah, they can make a run as long as they don't have to play Iga, like she's such a matchup pain in the ass On top of just being better, but just a brutal pain in the ass If you don't have Sabalenka or Rabakina serve or power to get through. It becomes hard real quick. If she can expose one side. Maddie Keyes is playing phenomenal, like getting forehands in the middle of court, serving well, but she still has a side that is less than Eagle will find it and she'll exploit it and she'll make you beat her over the course of two hours off of that side. But Collins Keyes, I think, are next right below those four. And then it's. You know, jess, I don't think she's going to play and then it's. You know, just, I don't think she's going to play.

Speaker 1:

Sakari's kind of been up and down Vondrozova as it stands right now. Let's just say she loses first round to Wimbledon. She goes from six in the world to like 27. Like that's staring her in the face. Form hasn't quite been there. Queen Wen played great in Rome. Lost to Coco but made quarters. She played a lot better. She's in pretty solid form. Anshabur is like up and down. Still has the finals of Wimbledon. So it's that like inflated ranking that you're kind of a bit on borrowed time, but unlike the men, it's a lot more predictable. It's like the men's game was two years ago, three years ago, for the last 20 years, but should be fun.

Speaker 1:

Um, I cannot wait to get into this draw. Like I want to break down the draw and I want to have you listen in real time. Like the draw is so much fun. Going into a slam. It's the first round matchups. Second round matchups there's a couple of unbelievable floaters. Will we see Murray? Is he even going to play? Where's Rafa going to end up in the draw? There's so many exciting things. The injuries are we going to see this week's center show up? When are people going to show up at Roland Garros If we don't see center until Friday? Thursday, everyone's going to be freaking out. So this will be a fun week of kind of guesswork and then, uh, all of a sudden, we get to work. But, uh, again, we will release our full Roland Garros uh breakdown Friday evening. It'll be out Saturday morning. It'll be on T2 on Friday, uh, as well.

Speaker 1:

Um, I can't wait to get to this draw. Um, and Mike has some, uh, some some notes. He's going to the swing vision promo thing. I cannot wait. Uh, short version is, and he'll give you all the details. But you send in videos and I either tell you what you're doing well, or I tell you what you suck at, and it's going to be hilarious fun for all. Uh, I'm actually going to make our team do one. So produce your mic. Hard pass, techie, sean. No, no, hard pass. Nope, my back hurts. No, yeah, you're, uh, you're middle-aged. Your soul's going to hurt. Your soul's going to hurt after I break it down, dear God, techie Sean's in social. Sophie's going to submit videos too, so I'll love.

Speaker 2:

Sean has won matches in his career in high school, so it's unfair.

Speaker 1:
