Justin RobertsHOST
I mean, you see ...
Justin RobertsHOST
Sometimes you see Cilic around still.
Justin RobertsHOST
But yeah, the last guys that I grew up kinda watching saying goodbye to the game.
Justin RobertsHOST
Uh, hyped to see Michelsen in a, in a Grand Slam quarterfinal.
John SilkHOST
Hmm
Steve FlinkGUEST
And Cilic, I think, will probably, uh, uh, after he retires, also regret that he was unable to repeat the win he had over Roger in the semifinals of the 2014 US Open when they played in the 2018 Australian final, and he took him to five and didn't win that one.
Steve FlinkGUEST
So I think s- I think Sascha realizes there's a huge, huge difference between winning one major and taking two.
Steve FlinkGUEST
And now, certainly not beyond the realm of im- imagination that he gets... uh, uh, that he may add one or two more.
J.P. HoveyHOST
And this one, because now we had three different people win.
J.P. HoveyHOST
I'll have to go look, but 2014, uh, Stan Wawrinka won the Australian Open, Nadal won the French Open, Djokovic won Wimbledon, and Čilić won the US Open.
Stephen BoughtonHOST
No Federer, rest in peace.
J.P. HoveyHOST
I know.
J.P. HoveyHOST
I'll have to go look.
J.P. HoveyHOST
But 2014, uh, Stan Wawrinka won the Australian Open, Nadal won the French Open, Djokovic won Wimbledon, and Cilic won the US Open.
Stephen BoughtonHOST
No Federer, rest in peace.
J.P. HoveyHOST
I know.
Stephen BoughtonHOST
Like Zverev's-
J.P. HoveyHOST
Right
Stephen BoughtonHOST
... not different than Cilic or Del Potro or Medvedev, all these guys who have won one major.
Stephen BoughtonHOST
He's-
LukeHOST
Yannick Hanfmann will be the other German singles player.
LukeHOST
And Croatia have got Marin Cilic and Dino Prismic.
LukeHOST
So Germany definitely strong favourites there, particularly if Zverev plays.
LukeHOST
If Zverev doesn't play, I don't know who they'd get in, probably someone like Jan Lennon-Struff, which would make it a bit more even.
Sam QuerreyHOST
He was four of six on break points.
Sam QuerreyHOST
I feel like you and me, like, sometimes our toughest opponents, guys with big serves, were, like, tall, lengthy returners 'cause they can get balls in, like Marin Cilic-
John IsnerHOST
Yeah
Sam QuerreyHOST
...
HaroonHOST
But other than that, Daniil Medvedev was the other one who had a Slam.
HaroonHOST
Uh, uh, what's? Also, uh, Stanislas Wawrinka and, uh, Marin Cilic, but these guys are, are gone.
HaroonHOST
And now he's, uh, above Daniil Medvedev.
HaroonHOST
Uh, so I think also in that match, specifically with Ben Shelton, Ben Shelton, we were talking about, he's, he's, he's hanging in the baselines more.
Kany TouréHOST
Okay.
Kany TouréHOST
2014, Marian Cilic.
Kany TouréHOST
Oh, yes, Cilic, Cilic, Cilic.
Nathan SneydHOST
I've actually watched Cilic play at the Melbourne Open as a day pass.
Sean CalvertGUEST
Not too many players win their first Slam final in this day and age.
Sean CalvertGUEST
Um, only Sinner and Alcaraz have done it actually since Čilić back in 2014 and, you know, he was playing Nishikori that day.
Sean CalvertGUEST
The only players actually that have won their maiden Grand Slam final having been priced up as underdog in the last 20 years, um, were Čilić, he was a tiny underdog against Nishikori in that 2014 US Open.
Sean CalvertGUEST
Wawrinka, big underdog, 2014 Australian.
Sean CalvertGUEST
Before that, you've got to go back to Gaston Gaudio, which you'll probably remember in 2004, um, French Open final.
FaizanHOST
Uh, but his first serve percentage generally is very high, and he's still serving pretty big.
FaizanHOST
I think Shelton's going to have to do what he's done for the most of the tournament, and I think against the big servers, like a Cilic, for example, and Tsitsipas, is block that return deep, and then just get into the point.
FaizanHOST
Because, yes, there may be some points where Zverev hits a huge plus one, but that's not really still his nature.
FaizanHOST
And yes, he's definitely shortening more points than he used to in the past, but he's still not going to be that ultra attacking, super proactive, plus one player like a Sinner or an Alcaraz.
