Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're after Roland Garrison now talking the French open here
on the show, who had a very busy day eleven
gives me a great pleasure as poer normal to bring
in multi medium bigg Star Craig Gabriel, Morning Craig.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hey, Brian. Yes, it's been another busy day today with
the last of the women's quarter finals being played and
right now alex Dimeno is on court against Alexander Zviev.
But certainly on the women's side, interesting matches, I wouldn't
say in thrawling, but interesting matches.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yees, seventeen year old true? Did you see that one coming?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah? In one sense I did, because in a preview
I had said that look out for Mira Andreva, the
seventeen year old Russian, because she's the type of player
that can just get under the skin for somebody like
Arena Sabolenka. On occasions she's got much better, but on
occasions can still lose it a little bit. And you know,

(01:00):
and Saberlenka also apparently was not well. She was given
medication by the doctors during the match. But certainly it's
all marx to Andreva for doing just that and playing
a niggly game to beat Saberlenca.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
I watched that game in seber Linka. She did look
out of sorts, didn't she.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Mm hmm, yeah she did. Don't know what the problem
is because I haven't. She hasn't said anything. She's not
coming into a postmatch media conference to reveal all that
she was just not well enough to come up, So
just wait at some stage. But yes, I don't know
exactly what the issue is.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
And jess Min Paulini, she's powered into the Semis well,
beating Elena Rebelinka so in three six that was an
easy one.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, look, it was a bit of a frustrating match
with the number of service breaks in it. But Paulini
is the fourth Italian woman in the open era to
reach the semi finals of the French twenty eight years old,
so that's impressive. Whereas Mira Andreva Andreva, the seventeen year

(02:11):
old Russian into the Semis. She's the youngest woman to
reach the semis at Roland Garross since Martina Hingis in
nineteen ninety seven.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, that's amazing. The match that's coming up, I think
the Egas Way take Coco Golf game, that's going to
be a Cracker, this number one seed versus number three.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, look, that was the final couple of years ago
and it was quite comfortable to Shontek. And the way
Shontek is playing at the moment as she does on
clay anyway, I think it's going to be a very
tough ask for Golf to get through this match. The
head to head is ten to one in Sriontek's favor

(02:52):
and this will be the thirty running they're played at
the French and Golf hasn't I don't think she's want
to set against Shontek the French.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
On cinder court. At the moment, it's the last of
the night sessions. You'll probably be relieved about that one.
We're going to. Yes, the young Ozzie alex Deminor is
hanging in there.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, look, this is good. I wouldn't expect anything left
of demon and he's playing Alexander Zverev. As Zverev did
win the first set six ' four. It's four all
in the second set right.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Now, and yeah, what else have we got to look
forward to regarding the rest of the tennis.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well, yeah, tomorrow is just women's semi finals day, So
that's the the two combinations. We just spoke of Siontik
against Golf, Paulini against Andreva, and then the next day
will be men's semi final action. So yeah, it really
is all a hotting up now and we really are

(03:51):
at the extreme business end of the tournament.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
And like the weather, the weather is behaving itself as well, now,
isn't it.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, it's it's very pleasant. It's been very nice the
last couple of days, so hopefully that stays that. Although
even if it does rain, it's not going to matter
because everything's will be played on Court Philip Chautier, which
is the center court and it has a retractable roof,
so if it does rain, they can always close it.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
And of the crowds now behaving with their drinking band
in place.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, they seem to have been behaving. They haven't. I
haven't heard too many occasions where the cheer umpire has
had to scold them or tell them off or tell
them to behave or anything like that. So yeah, it
sounds like the alcohol band is working.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well, we'll let you go and watch the Aussie plays
Viariaf at the moment, being a proud Aussie craigan. We'll
talk again tomorrow, Thanks Brian,
