00:00and a championship weekend at the championships wimbledon at the all england club some lawn
00:06tennis on the grass and drs what a rivalry we have in this sport that we are going to see for
00:12a very long time the 23 year old world number one yannick center against the 22 year old in world
00:18number two and the two-timer rating champion of the gentleman's final at wimbledon that being
00:25carlos alcaraz the final we were all hoping for in the fortnight in london that we got yesterday
00:31after a five-match thriller in one of the great finals we have ever seen in a grand slam just over
00:38a month ago in paris yannick center had multiple match points serving for the championship at
00:43roland garros carlos alcaraz beats them all battles them off and pulls off a five-set stunner to win
00:50at uh roland garros the rs yesterday we were hoping for the same at wimbledon not quite a five-set
00:56thriller but a really solid four match win and the first wimbledon title for yannick center he flips
01:04the script he exacts his revenge over alcaraz and snaps his own five match losing skid against his
01:11rival in alcaraz four six six four six four six four yannick center becomes the first italian
01:18man or woman to win a wimbledon championship yesterday in london well how old are we between
01:24these two now like what are the ages between these two 23 for yannick center 22 for alcaraz
01:29there so we'll probably be seeing them in multiple championships over the next decade yeah men's tennis
01:35women's tennis like sometimes you get these these runs it seems like in men's tennis it's more like
01:39that top five these teams have a stranglehold and maybe we do get a rivalry and i guess it's it's good
01:43for i'm not a tennis fan by any stretch but i do like big events but you know you keep on playing
01:48each other how big is the event going to be like if these two meet up in the u.s open is it great
01:52again i was like hey man let somebody else in and maybe let a crowd favorite and maybe they are the
01:56crowd favorites i have no idea i don't watch tennis but the one thing i do know here is i just wish i
02:00was on the telecast like you put me on that it's like you know i don't have to be the guy in the
02:04booth but put me on the sideline like hey what'd you feel about this you're like the final call
02:08comes down who is it who is it chris fowler like who called the championship yesterday yeah who's
02:12the lead guy so chris fowler calls it chris fowler and did he say this and for the first times it's
02:17being popped for steroids we have a champion in ionic center to put it in proper perspective and
02:23proper frame because we always the one thing we i understand about like major sports ben we always
02:28like as humans like we evolve it's like hey man i messed up i'm sorry about that we can live with it
02:32but when the excuses pop up and this is why you see me right away on twitter which i get so excited for
02:37because isn't it like every time i talk isn't it true like doesn't it pay to cheat i mean i'm it's
02:43no longer being facetious like the best ceos the best people in the world the best athletes it feels
02:49like half of them just cheated their way to the top and if they got caught it didn't have any impact
02:54on what they're doing now like if you get like what's is it tennis it's not tennis swimming like if
02:59you get popped by the world doping association isn't like years you can't compete like for years you
03:05can't come back and it just feels like you get a couple months off and you're right back to it
03:09after you got popped for steroids like what why doesn't every tennis player just use steroids get
03:13caught sit out three and then come back and win championships or just elevate your game it's just
03:18that's what i would do to answer your question yes it was discussed yesterday after center had his
03:25moment on center court winning at wimbledon chris fowler brought it up he said that some people
03:30might discuss this championship with an asterisk because not only the doping scandal drs for yannick
03:36center let's not forget he was trailing two sets to none in the round of 16 against grigor dimitrov
03:42before he retired with a torn pec in that third set sometimes you need some breaks now for center in
03:48the doping scandal he was cleared of any wrongdoing but the grand governing body in tennis appealed their
03:56own decision and basically were trying to force the suspension on yannick center that he and his
04:02team then negotiated some sort of settlement that he served a two-month suspension to your point drs
04:08if you ain't cheating you ain't trying i'm not so sure yannick center was outright cheating but he
04:14served his time he came back he responded and he is a wimbledon champion for the first time in his
04:20career to your point does this get a little bit tired in sports to see these same guys compete
04:26for grand slam after grand slam i would argue no it's an incredible rivalry and i think it was
04:31important yesterday for center to snap the five game losing skid against alcaraz to legitimize this
04:38rivalry as well these two guys have won the last seven grand slam titles dating back to the australian
04:43open in 2024 how about eager free on tech great headline gotta get it in women's final on saturday
04:50eager's bakery because she pulled off the double bagel 6-0 6-0 knocking off amanda anasimova the
04:57american 6-0 6-0 in dominant fashion on saturday yeah sometimes you get run over by the freight train
05:04that's what happened yesterday either you have it or you don't in the biggest moment she didn't have
05:07it she used to being there that's what happens she on tech six and oh in her six grand slam finals in
