Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're talking the French Open now on the Country Sport Breakfast.
We've had a very busy day. Eleven gives him great
pleasure as per normal. Bring back in multi media megastar
Craig Gabriel, Morning, Craig Monsieur.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hey, Brian, good to be with you.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Right, let's talk about the finals of being found Egospi
and Tech taken another step towards a third successive title
with a straight sit dismantling of Coco Golf in the semifinals.
Did you see that one being a clean sweep?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah? I did, actually because the way of further way
that Sharon Tek has been playing and this is her surface.
I mean, you look at the record before this match,
it was ten to one in shrin Tek's favor. Now
it's eleven to one. So I didn't have a doubt
that it was going to be pretty comfortable for the
(00:49):
world number one, and that it certainly was. And you
could see the frustration on golf, you know, game after
game and then she had a bit of a an
argument with chair umpire and she was in tears for
a minute or so, just all the frustration just adding up.
But she was no match at all.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Do you have a semi final, Jasmine Paulini beating that
young seventeen year old Mira and Riva. Now the straights,
it's win. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I wasn't sure about this one as to who. I
couldn't decide as to who would get through. But that's
pretty also pretty emphatic from Esmin and Paulini was the
twelve seed. She's had an amazing tournament. She had her
best season, the best career season of her career. When
you're ranked or you're seeded twelve, that must mean you're
doing something right on the tour. It's not just one tournament.
(01:45):
So that was a solid result. She's the first Italian
woman to reach the finals since twenty twelve. That was
Sarah Irani and the last Italian one. The only Italian
woman to win this in the Open era was Cesca
Skiavone in twenty ten. She beat Sam Stucia in the
final that year.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So we've got to we've got a final to look
forward to. How do you see that one shaping up?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Craig oh Santek, hands down. Look, she she has won
her last twenty matches at Rodan Gallas, third final in
a row, fourth overall she's never lost a final at
the tournament, and as well as Paulini is playing, I
don't think she's going to win a set.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Does Fiantch like playing on the clay? Is it her
favorite surface?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yes? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's this is her surface, so
you know she she's certainly pretty solid on it.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Okay, let's go to the means now semi finals weekend.
Alcarez and Sinner, how do you see that one going?
That one?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I don't know that one. Get the Don Pergnon Caviar
out because that's going to be the one to really
have a thrill about. And then Droy head to head
as four All they Love Us played in Indian Well
in March. I was there. I watched that match. I
was stunned with the way Sinner started that match. He
cleaned up Alcaraz six to one in the first set,
(03:10):
then got a twitch in his leg during a point
at the very early stage of the second and ended
up losing in three sets. But great stuff was played
in that and this is the type of match that's
gonna or rivalry. It's going to develop and develop it
so well that it'll match the likes of Federer, Nadal,
(03:31):
Djokovic's rivalry, and when these two play a lot more,
it'll become like an event when these two are on
court against one another.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
All right, that's the creckit to look forward to. And
the other one is the root Zverev one too, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, another one. It's tough to decide, you know. Sasha
is in the final for the fourth semi final for
the fourth straight year. He hasn't gone past that. This
is a repeat of last year's semifinal between zverevn rud
and Casper won that comfortably last year. I think it'd
be different this year. I think it's going to be
(04:05):
quite tight, and I don't know who will win. Head
to head is too all with them, so it's all
very tight at the moment. But Rude is trying to
reach the final for the third year in a row.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
A weekend of tantalizing cricket ahead, Craig, Enjoy and we'll
