Et je vous propose de l'écouter parce que c'est super intéressant.
6:17
intéressant.Le niveau déployé par les deux joueurs était extraordinaire.
6:21
Quand j'ai vu Sacha Zverev frapper ses services comme il a frappé pendant toute la durée du match, envoyer des coups droits, mais monumentaux, euh, dépasser Yannick, euh, Yannick Sinner en termes de puissance de frappe à de très nombreuses reprises, comme j'ai rarement vu Yannick être en difficulté.
6:37
Franchement, il a fallu qu'il sorte absolument le grand jeu, mais c'est là où il est monstrueux.
6:40
C'est quand il a fallu, dans le tie break du deuxième, pas rater un retour, être sur toutes les trajectoires, il a été.
6:45
Euh, il y a eu pour moi un point dans le troisième set où c'est Sacha qui a la balle de break en premier, puis sur une deuxième balle de service.
6:52
Il est juste devant moi parce que mon, ma, ma box de commentatrice est du côté de la Royal Box, à gauche de la Royal Box.
9:32
Je vous propose un petit extrait de Yannick Sinner, euh, en italien et je vous le traduis juste derrière.
9:47
Marion, let's start with what's your overriding emotion and feeling at Jannik Sinner winning his second Wimbledon title?
9:55
Well, I, I mean, it's always so interesting to listen to the players right after the match because they tell you generally what they feel, and I feel exactly what Jannik said.
10:05
I felt the level from both players were absolutely outstanding today.
10:08
It came out to...
10:10
It came down to really few points here and there, extremely small margin, an extraordinary defense from Jannik to get an extra ball back in when, you know, Sascha was just smashing the ball at him, and crucial serve at crucial moments.
10:25
A flawless tie break in the second set.
10:27
It came down to him raising his level to absolutely 100% to be able to get the win today, and I think he's...
15:30
And Marion, during commentary, you said this is peak Sinner, which is frightening when you think of all that he's achieved, and he's still only 24 years of age.
13:27
Who do you think, Marion? What do I know?
13:32
I like Coco.
13:33
Honestly, I think she just finds ways to win somehow.
13:36
I mean, she's an incredible fighter on the court.
13:38
She moves extremely well.
13:40
And I told her at the beginning of the tournament, she was having a little bit of a love-hate relationship with the grass.
13:47
And I said, look, Coco, you burst into the scene here at Wimbledon as a young 15-year-old beating Venus onto the center court.

12 MINS LATER

26:03
I mean, we had the
11:31
But it all comes down to the mentality, and that's what we hear from champions like yourself, Marion, about how to get there, and he's doing it.
11:38
It does come down all to the mentality.
11:40
I know his story really well because actually we're a very good friend with his father, Loic, which is 100% French.
11:47
And we get to spend quite a bit of time together in Dubai.
11:50
And I get to see Arthur as well, practicing for him.
11:54
What has been really holding him back before was the injuries.
11:57
And I always thought with his court movements, His physicality, his mentality, the way he's making so many balls, but he's just not pushing the ball back into the court.
14:29
He's taken out the Roland Garros runner-up and now he's just got to deal with a Roland Garros champion.
9:31
And we rounded up the rest of the action on day nine with former Wimbledon champion Marion Barclay, who talked about what it's like playing in the latter stages of a major.
9:40
Really, for me, it's about the business end of the tournament that is the most fascinating because you're only down to the last eight.
9:48
That's when the players are really wanting to pick up in terms of level.
9:51
You're down to a few players left in the locker room.
9:54
You have real attention that starts to raise and that the ones who are capable of going through those tough matches.
10:00
I mean, we see Coco go off today against Jess Pegula.
10:03
That was a very difficult one for Coco.
12:42
I felt comfortable on the physical side, which is a good step forward.
9:37
think the number of matches that he played so early in the season with victory after victory after victory has caught up with him and that has induced the physical vulnerabilities that now people are prepared to pounce on?
9:55
Well, look, it's a very interesting one.
9:57
And I was down in Madrid and interviewing Darren Cahill about that, because for me, the turnaround specifically between Miami and Monte Carlo was so short, sweet surface.
10:09
having to fly from one continent to the other, obviously from Miami back into Europe, and having only four days on the surface, it's so different.
10:16
And then playing back-to-back, Monte Carlo, Madrid, and Rome, and winning everything was absolutely a lot.
10:23
But then Darren makes a good point saying, well, the problem is if he doesn't play that, it's going to be too many days without competition, and he doesn't like that either.
10:31
So it was about that, or at Cimiti's, Yannick's decision always, they put everything on the table, but they have...

14 MINS LATER

24:21
And here's what Marian had to say about the situation earlier.
6:34
This was what Fran Jones said after losing it will create bad headlines probably slightly unfairly I think with some of the draws that people are handed here it was always going to be difficult but no one can hide from the heaviness of Wimbledon it's important to everyone I'm sure it played a factor being at a home slam but I'm pretty sure it happened to the French as well at Roland Garros they didn't have a great one either so I just wonder your take then on what she's saying there
6:59
Yeah, look, I mean, I've been on the court myself, playing at Roland-Garros and obviously playing here at Wimbledon, and I had a lot more success at Wimbledon.
7:05
I would not say I was constantly taking over by the pressure.
7:09
For me, clay court was just not a very good surface.
7:13
And it was just difficult to perform at my best on that slow, sometimes, you know, rainy and muddy clay court.
7:21
But that being said, being on the side of Ariat and, you know, talking to her before the match and...
7:27
And being on the side of the coach, she was extremely excited to take on court number one.

7 MINS LATER

14:51
What have we learned?
8:41
Tu le sens meilleur sur terre ?
8:43
Alors ce qui m'inquiète, enfin surtout ce qui m'inquiète pour les autres, c'est que j'étais à Miami sur sa finale contre Lehečka.
8:50
Et donc là, j'étais bord de terrain à partir de son match sur Rodhar.
8:54
Et j'ai l'impression que déjà en ce laps de temps, il a progressé.
8:56
Donc autant te dire que sur un an, effectivement, les progrès sont énormes.
8:59
En fait, ce qui est monstrueux, je trouve, c'est que, et c'est pour ça que la finale contre Zverev, alors ok, on peut dire que Zverev est effectivement passé à côté.
9:06
D'une certaine manière, oui, bien sûr qu'il est passé à côté.
11:31
C'est un métronome.
