so leon djokovic himself didn't want to go into the accolades um we won't keep you too long either because it has been an absolutely epic evening but if we just go through a couple of them an eighth consecutive semi-final for a man who's won this title seven times and has 24 grand slams under his belt a 55th grand slam semi-final total you say you liked what he was saying there because he wants to get off he's a competitor it's like you're wasting my time right now i'm standing on my feet i need to go and recover question is can he can he do this now he's got yannick sinner next
5:24
it's an incredibly tough ask because this isn't a normal tennis match that he's just played out you know this is a a real physical endurance um and he didn't apart from the Tsitsipas match the other matches haven't been straight forwards either so it's not like he's come through and won like straight set straight set straight set he has banked a lot of mileage already and then this as well Sinner's played what I don't know two and a half hours of whatever it was in his match tucked up in bed you know so it's a massive it's a massive ask but time and time again he sort of defies logic um And, you know, he's still going to realize if his body's OK, this is his opportunity.
6:13
You know, he's the best grass court player in the draw.
6:18
If he can recover well, he's going to, like he did today, he'll leave everything out there.
6:23
You know, if he gets out OK, he can win.
6:25
But it all depends on how he can recover.
7:40
Do you think tonight might be a bit of a step up moment for him?
7:45
Yeah, I mean, look, he won't feel that right now.
11:11
Go back to telling us about your competitive play styles there.
11:14
i do have some play styles that i prefer more than others i've tried most over my time i am a noted melee enjoyer a melee pressure list enjoyer so i do tend to to find armies that fall into that sort of archetype the final thing for me that because if one does want to you know play the strongest armies that are out there you you kind of have to accept that the meta is evolving you know rob spoke at length just now about the quality balance daughter slates or new armies coming out and When these shakeups happen, like for example, the aforementioned defilers for the team's tournament in May, we spotted that, you know, the strength was very obvious and very apparent in the data sheet.
11:49
Out of my team of five, we ended up sourcing six.
11:51
So three of my players ran two apiece.
11:53
That's something that you have to sort of make the decision on.
11:57
If you chase the Metadragon, There are real downsides to that.
12:00
Of course, it gets expensive quickly.
