Speaker 1 (00:00):
Andrew Alison. Here was sport this morning. Lots to watch
this morning, love it. So we've got Ryan Fox. He's
tearing off quarters to six.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Quarter to six. Yes, he was leading over night, but
just at least last report, Shane Lowry had taken one stroke.
He was five under through four holes.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Today.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Fox now in a sheer of second. But of course
he can change that on once he teas off himself
and change the momentum there. But Fox, I guess the
key thing to remember, he's seventy five in the wild
at the moment. If he gets into the top sixty,
he will contest, or can contest the US Open this
week at Pennsylvania. It's going to it's going to require
a top five finish. So that's really the key, other
(00:40):
outright winning it, which would be ideal from Fox perspective.
He's been playing so well right and adaptable too in
that I saw that shot with his right leg shoeless
in the water.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So he has to get to sixty. Yeah, inside the
top sixty, inside the top sixteen, you get to the
US Open. Yeah, Okay, this.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Is how he's doing it. Though he wins events, he's
the top twenty finishes, etc.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
And happy pops. Yeah, right, brilliant. And so we've had
the tenant the French Open, Cocoa goth wins.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yes she's won the women's and then the match against
against the Reda Sabalinka and this morning got Italian front
of me at the moment, but.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I've got the wrong channel.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Carlos al Kaath was on the verge of being able
to get back into the fourth set. So it was
two one to Yarnick Cinner Sinner one the first two.
Alcarath with a victory in the third set and he
was down to break al Karrath.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
In the fourth. I'm trying to change the channels.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And he was almost on the verge of breakboy.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
But hopefully we will get that to you in a moment.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
But this is what we want to see from the
men's French Tennis Open final. A thrilling duel there this
morning as well, between these two who are I guess
the next wave of players, who have I guess taken
over from the three the week four of the past
generation and these two now taking it into the next level.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Speaking of thrilling, what about the Blues and the Chiefs.
That's one way to survive and the Caesars are out. Yeah,
it was to watch.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It was a great watch. Not twenty nineteen in the end.
But the Blues defending chairpers they've survived. And the Chiefs yea,
thinking of the Chiefs, surely this is their year again under
Clayton McMillan. As finally you as coach with the Chiefs,
but not to be so far. But by virtue of
being the best loser, they get the home semi final
again this week, so they playing the Brumbies and well
(02:31):
there'll be Saturday, but Blues Crusaders on Friday. That's it's
a hell of a jill too.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, that do you think?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Wow, she's pastforming had to say the Crusaders and that
they've never been beaten in their playoff at home there.
But Van Cotta he's got a real steely mindset to them.
And the Blues coming finding some momentum at that crucial
stage of the season.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And the Warriors one.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Too, hiding too. It's fantastic for the Warriors just showing
their depth and Andrew Webster and even without Mitch Barnead
et cetera. They've just got the right mindset. There's a
terrific culture there at the moment and younger players coming
through as well. It's it's good science.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
A lot happening this morning. We'll look forward to your
next up.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
So we love Monday morning, busy time. We'll get at
Alcrast Center. Update to you very shortly.
Speaker 1 (03:18):

think absolutely. Thanks Andrew. Good to see you.
