[Music] [Applause] all right welcome everybody to Cincinnati we're here it's hot and uh there's a lot of players playing uh not too many of the top top players yet because of course they will get a bu in the first round so they'll be playing later in the in the week or at least in a couple days time uh so we're going to watch Shelton versus opela and this is our first ever this is a new thing that we're trying it's called an asof and we've done a bunch of and I didn't realize how many people like a lot of members this is a members thing for now a lot of members um a lot of you have already uh made do a prediction so everybody almost all the members have a prediction between 10 and 52 Aces total in this match so it was combined Aces and we're going to find out who's going to win I'm also in it too so we'll see what happens we'll see how it goes I'm going to figure out a better way of doing it in the future if we do do it also for non-members as well to get involved down the track but uh a lot of lot of people got involved which is cool to see um but we'll talk about that in a second let's get the preview though because these two guys actually never met never met before so there's the draw you can see the winner of this will take on either or anal Maran M winner that will take on demitro so interesting little section of the draw in uh in this part of the draw for uh for these guys wait a second update the why is that like that hang on I'll fix it later um but yeah so interesting little section of the draw of course we're not in Canada we're in Cy and then in this section also a potential matchup with verev in a quarterfinal is what's uh what's at stake for or maybe even quarter I mean quarters in this section as well Ria poker world number 322 26-year-old from the USA 6'1 right-handed five wins three losses on the year in his comeback he has no titles this year but he's got four career titles and his form has been good in his comeback he had I think an ankle problem for a long time so good to see him back on two of the biggest one of the biggest players on tour and Ben Shelton world number 14 21y old from the USA as well 6'4 left-handed 27 wins 18 losses on the year he has a title this year that was on the clay of Houston two career titles including one in Tokyo last year which is a big title biggest title so far in his career and his form's been okay the last couple of uh last couple of tournaments uh did okay at Wimbledon made the fourth round uh there lost to Center in the in the W I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure um and yeah so that's uh so what we're going to do cuz let's be honest chat some of these matches especially go you know when we got matches with guys like oeler and Shelton they get a little you know we just kind of waiting for the tie break you know we're just kind of waiting for the tie break to happen you know it's it's a little bit of a it can get a little bit repetitive so to break that up we're going to start doing we're going to do this now we're not going to do it every match only when like you know serve Bots are kind of playing so then we can you know keep it interesting uh when yeah exactly when there serve Bots that's what we're going to do so um so what we've got is uh on the community tab for the members we're just going to test out with the Members First uh I asked you guys to give us your predictions uh sorry to those who made a prediction that has already been picked so everybody so the way it was going to work is that only one prediction per person so you can't all pick you know 25 Aces it's only one person can Pi 25 it was best uh first in best rest and we're going to go and uh we're going to see how many people who gets it right cuz only one person get it right unless it's 50 Aces and then nobody gets it right cuz nobody picked that uh and these guys by the way the record for most aces in a three-step match is 81 so anywhere between 0 and 81 is possible it has happened so that's what we're going to do it was tough yeah I know you had to be in quick too I mean uh you know some of you might have been asleep so it was a little bit unfortunate but uh that's it's look there's nothing on the line we're just having fun so don't worry about it it's not not too serious I'm hoping to do a better way of doing it in the future so that that way you know once someone gets predicted then that gets taken off the table and only you can only pick what's left is it too late to guess uh you can guess okay you can guess 50 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 or 60 or more but that's it no more after that so Isabelle you can pick one of those numbers all right Fergus Murphy's going to be the man all right all I'll I'll let some of them okay we won't some of the members I'll let uh get in now as well so silven is gone with 57 so silvin gets 57 like I said it's going to be we'll do it a bit I'm trying to I just didn't have my time but I'm going to work on something that if we do this in the future because I think this would be fun especially with um when we watch matches that you know we know there's going to be just tie breaks and it's going to be a little bit it's going to be a little bit uh might be a little bit repetitive uh London lady picks 52 yep London lady got 52 Deja 28 has been taken you going it's you pretty much got to take 50 or over everything between 10 and 50 has been taken okay it is warming up as we speak and we're keeping it for members only for now uh 9's already been taken sorry Isabel 59 is been taken 58's 50 58's available 37 well 37 being taken but it's yeah I'm going with 51 51's been taken 50 53 54 55 56 58 all right Isabelle want 58 all right we'll give you 58 I'm I went with 22 but I should have gone with um I should have gone with uh I think I should have gone something in the 50s I think I might I think I UND undersold myself um 58 for Isabel make sure I get that right but yeah what I want to do next time when we do this if we do this you know in the future is I wanted so I can just give you guys a link and then whoever you know you can go to the website or whatever it is and and just sort of uh select your make your selections and then you know once that's selected it it can't be selected again so I'm going to try and try and put that together so then we can make it a little bit easier for me to to figure out who's got what um all right Deja is going to go with 54 Aces 54 for Deja all right opela I think is uh is like the second he served the second most aces in the best of three set match so if we're going to get Aces it's going to be from this man uh suzan went didn't you already suzan you know didn't you I thought you already guessed suzan's going with 55 all right so we got 50 53 56 and then 60 and over so anyone want to go with 60 or over anyone can go 60 or over there's plenty of spot or under 10 I mean if it's under 10 Aces there's probably been a retirement all right uh 54 has been taken uh just missed it out Flora but you can pick uh 53 Flora's going with 60 all right that is the highest that is the highest number so far all right Aaron's gone with 53 Aaron's going to go with 53 so we've got 50 and 56 left if anybody wants those members members members any members want those those are the last numbers that are left or the only numbers that are left for now and then we've got between 10 and 60 every every number's been taken Elaine's going with 56 all right so who does anyone want 50 Aces I mean 25 Aces each isn't that crazy right I mean I wouldn't I wouldn't uh I wouldn't I wouldn't think that 50 is that crazy right all right La is going to go with 50 all right so we everything between 10 and 60 has been done great timing all right the first ever ace off Shelt by the way he's got no sleeves he came dressed for the occasion for the ace off P me 56 Aces and 15 double faults yeah maybe one day we'll do a double fold off okay shanders good luck to everybody who is involved in the ace off we're going to count them one by one we got the counter here remember your number if not I've written them down so I I'll know who you what you picked all right Shelton to serve I'm going to go with Shelton in three in this one as a back in PR goes wide by a p and it's 15 love 15 Joanna haven't you already didn't you already predict Joan you want to go with nine all right I'll you can get nine I'll give I'll give you nine nine Aces all right Joan is gone with nine which is the lowest amount of Aces on the card all right 30 love all right but yeah I want to make it a little bit easier next time so that you guys can uh go to go to like a site or something and like figure it out that way it makes it a little bit easier to uh to track Who's got what uh Brent you said 12 yes you did ah 40 love no aces in this first game are you counting AC near Aces no no no it's going to be Aces and it's also going to be officially official on the like on the stats so if I think it's an Ace and the stats say no then it's we're going by the stats first game no Aces oh okay what love i' say if this is a straight sets win for Shelton we might get only like 12 Aces there might only be a handful of Aces each P though can hit four aces in a game so I mean that's the that's the uh that's the risk I mean they've never played before by the way so and also Shelton's not a massive returner it's not like he's going to stand back like Mev right uh Kathy went with 18 uh Kathy you might have got in late because somebody else had 18 is already in 18 a few of you unfortunately got in um after the somebody else had already said that's why I'm going to that was the most uh I didn't realize that many people wanted to get involved which is awesome um but a lot of people kind of guessed what it was already guessed and uh I think a pel could just serve the first Ace is that the first Ace of the day I missed it was it that an ace are we on one but yeah I wanted to I want to make it so it's um I don't think it was an ace all right first the F second serve um oh it was an ace it was the first first of the day we're on one all right one as we Ser another for of sh return goes long 30 love it was an [Laughter] ace one day we got one we got one um yeah I wanted to um I wanted to try and get like I want I want to make it so that like you know it's not confusing next time it's a little it was a little confusing for me as well cuz I was like trying to trying to reply to comments and you know tell people that oh that's already been picked and then yeah a little bit all over the place so hopefully next if we do this next time it'll be more straightforward 40 love fora Dash is winning hell yeah so Dash is playing MTI I think is about to play as well um yeah Dash is up 4-2 veage is already down Sun Beat nosova good win all right opela serving big again I don't know if that was an I'm got to keep I got I got to keep track here by the way if you did if you're not officially in the ace off you can still make predictions and guess yourself all right that's a second Ace opel's on two sorry we're on two total AC is two two in a game that's what he can do opela he can serve big in in one game we can get a couple Aces first Ser is a fault from Shelton second serve second serve double fault that's the first of a day double fult love 15 so while the back of Aela return goes in the front of Shelton into the front of Aela who oh goes for a winner but missed it long 15 all 15 all sorry to the all the people who predicted zero no one predicted zero that's I mean if you predict zero in an ace off then we're probably not watching the right match would have serve now the back in OFA but Shelton serves a l as serve there a f second serve Shelton second serve double fold again right backto back double oh not back to back but two double faults in the game here Shelton 1530 chance for opela to get the break 1530 Shelton serves another fault man second serve second serve into the body of oela rurs into the for of Shelton as opel's back hand goes across SC Shelton on the stretch goes the for of oelo hits it down the line but it's wide and it's 30 all 30 all 30 yards with a Ser from Shelton no Aces from Shelton yet it's hard to AO pker he's got a he's got long arms that was 130 mph by the way from Shelton second serve second Ser to the for of P Shanks the return long 4030 looks like s won't have to play Griggs again uh yeah michelson's dominating 51 in the third ah 4030 shot out wide at the back of Aela lob goes up Shelton hits a smash straight to Aela Aela in the net 2-1 Shelton holds and it's 2-1 no Aces from Shelton in the first two games so pel might have to if you picked anywhere between 20 and 30 I guess we're all banking on opela hitting 28 might come down to him it's opela on he's going to hold this on his back all right 2-1 Shelton next challenge most double faults I feel like that's such a small number though no one they don't really hit 40 double faults whereas Aces can be anywhere between two like one and 5050 okay sery to two a in the first game go 14 yeah so uh yeah Shashank went 14 um who else in the chat fly with CG went 24 um La went with 50 but that's that's uh you just need sh and St we need tie breaks if I think if you get anything over 30 it needs to be three sets and probably two tie breaks if it if it's somewhere over 50 then you probably need to have three tie breaks all right back to oela let's see how many aces can serve in this game here we go I guess four 54 Aces and 15 double faults well the two double we might get the double fault count uh Elaine you went with 506 56 Deja went with 54 Min in the chat went with not sure is he going to return winner from Shelton this is going to be love 15 Dy went 4 four um I think didn't me you went on the I don't even know how many men picked all right Sur for myel an ace down the T that's three that's three Deb's got 27 Aces yep Min did you jump in the ace off I feel like I saw you jump in oh yeah you're on 41 41 Aces for Min ah 15 oh P the f is three Aces so far right second serve into the back end of sh then hits it in the net with a slice forehand and it's 1530 1530 yeah John you went with 11 but you you were unlucky because you got in a little bit late so you didn't really have a choice 1530 as we return from Shelton it goes in and it's 1540 unbelievable unb what though John if if Shelton gets this done in like 6262 and AEL Only Hits 10 Aces you might be close you might be close all right 1540 sh to get the break here how could have serve God he is a giant like actually a giant sering to the back end and that's a big UNR returnable Ser but it wasn't an ace 15 sorry 34 30 40 still a break point Shelton 3040 as Aus serves a let 30 40 by way I think it's like 30° out there today it's hot as hell it's just hot so hot out there and serve to the back Shelton four now froma Shelton comes in with the volley but hits it long we get the deuce we get to deuce so it only counts as an ace if it if the other person can't get a racket to it yeah yeah I mean we're we're basically going to go with the St because they the statisticians will know but it has to be an untouched uh return like they can't I mean that was another Ace there 4 to oela um advantage opela to stay stay level uh yeah an ace is a serve that is not that is a clean St pass the other guy so it's uh not a was that an ace that was an ace was that not an ace you it's for from a PO down line winner swear a PO maybe hit the top of the frame the hell no it wasn't Ace okay just delayed all right opela acing on his back four in two games Shelton at zero yeah it was an ace I was like what the hell did Shelton just get the like hit it off off the top of the frame or something but not that was an ace okay Four Aces two games all seven to the back for of AEL it's wide yeah Sheldon just can't get it past oelker on the ice count all right 15 love to serve in the back end of a p return is long 30 love dir love I was expecting Shelton to get more Aces but I forgot that opel's arms are really long serve it wide opela gets it back but it's in the net yeah pus gets a gets a racket to it that's the thing Shelton's hitting some good serves but they're not Aces they're uh they're just UNR returnables all right sered down the T that's an ace all right Shelton's on the board he gets his first Ace it's five aces in five games do the math 133 down the te there you go shouting on the board first Ace of the ace off all right AEL like an octopus yeah it's kind of he's like Mev except just not as uh good in the returns a PO Shir is like a baseball player it is a little bit pker is just he's just big yeah I mean he's just his arms are just he just covers the entire Baseline when he stretches his arms out but was that not counted as an ace either that was an ace the hell let me watch see that that was an ace right oh noga shanked it that was not an ace retract the ace my bad pel could got a racket to it I couldn't see that it was too quick no Ace no Ace no Ace we're on four it's on four Shelton still acess to start us uh with the ace off no ice s pass got any coaching offers I don't think so um but we'll find out I mean when he plays in a couple days time we'll see whether or not he's uh he's rocking any coach or any or no coach I'd say he's probably not got any coaches but that's just me that' be kind of crazy for him to get a it wouldn't be crazy for him to get a coach before the US Open but seems like you know just hiring the next guy who says I can coach you is would be a little bit be a bit much I think he should I think he should just wait and see see you know wait until after the US Open and regroup okaya serves fault he's the only one who served Aces four games five games played Four Aces pela is the only one so far to serve the aces serving the back of the Shel return goes in the front ofela get a winner and it's 15 love in love 15 love is serves another massive serve down the te 30 love that was an ace so p with the five aces all right 30 love as poker serves that one into the net second serve second serve see the for Shot return is long and it's 40 love Dasher won the first set let's go let's go by the way we've got Dasher and Shelton in the team this week uh so we need them to do well 40 love P to level this up Ser to the for Shot return his chip long and gets to 33 he levels the first set five Aces from just opela alone in his what three service games all right 33 as it sered now from shutting down the tea and the return the net 15 love 15 love so far nobody is out of the ace off nobody is out of the ace off yet the first person is Joanna who had nine Aces so Joanna you are currently the leader of the as off because it's uh well anything under n you're the closest all right Shelton 30 love Ser to the four of a pker chip return goes long 40 love five Aces already yeah my prediction is 11 was just for Aela well look you might be right because Shelton's not getting any Aces back inel on the net it's 4-3 but the thing is um I that was a Le was it was a let I didn't factor in the didn't factor in that Shelton hit zero Aces to this point I thought could just getting the ball back Shelton puts it away 43 um yeah I didn't I should have I should have thought that uh sh that opela was going to get them back like he's not getting aced opela he's serving Aces but he's not getting aced which is which is something I did not uh think ah five aces all from opela so far in the ace off 43 first set does anyone return to serve they return them but they just like they either go in the net or they go uh short and they just get put away yeah Dash is playing we'll keep an eye on her score she's so far kicking ass 64 first set veic is on serve against Krueger first Set uh um on the first set against Shelton mikkelson's going to play center that'll be a night match cuz mikkelson's an American and they'll probably pump him up by the way TFO beat faka earlier today which was a match that was supposed to be a banger also bayz beat giron 86 in the third set tie break so that's something leetra came back with a win over naone uh costr beat Mertens greva took out tomanovich so greva takes on fonc pushk won a couple of tie breaks still to come later today Selina andrescue poova put on the men's side Fritz is playing tonight against Nakashima uh Jerry and MTI are about to start um not a massive crazy day today uh which is why we're mocking around with this uh New Concept a new fun game the ace off but um tomorrow we should start getting serious with this uh this competition should get serious tomorrow not sure if shon's playing tomorrow or if tomorrow was still first round um I think tomorrow might be still first round CU usually the first round goes over two days but they don't really have two days to to spare so you might get a seed or two tomorrow like a top top 10 seed um anyways good serel 15 love um so yeah the schedule is today is the 13th tomorrow is the 14th second oh no second round tomorrow okay so yeah there's a couple actually all the first round is today no way it's first round that's not being played today so yeah tomorrow uh some second round 30 L pela um yeah apparently six Aces by the way there was another one six Aces oela so yeah apparently there there might be a couple of players tomorrow that play couple of uh top top seeds maybe uh maybe C play tomorrow there it a for on the stretch from Shelton but a with the volley Shelton puts up a l and a puts away the smash good Rally from Opel the net there Shelton good Hustle but not enough 40 love crowd love that by pack Stadium love to see it yeah big F today that was a good win over forina we got a rally yeah that was the longest rally of the match six shots as ohus serves an A7 with an air swing by sh sh with the air swing all right seven Aces so far all opela opela with the aces yeah lobbing over uh Opel is really not it's not really an option is it you're gonna have to hit like an I mean elarz versus opela would be a great fun match can we get that can we get opela versus elarz just to see alres hit the lobs I want to see alrez try and lob opela that' be so much fun maybe on like an indoor hard court as well that'd be fun no you know what opela elarz US Open like second round night session that's what I want to see I want to see opela alarz night session US Open second round that's what I want to see this year make it happen US Open all right Shelton 15 love that would be so funny cuz like the crowd would be going nuts alcarez would have to do some crazy things maybe no you know what no maybe day session hot day session so then it's oh it's from Shelton first a of the day for Shelton um somewhere where our poker server is going to be really really hard to get back like on a hot day I was want to see what Shelton what Elis can do I want to see Elis lob and another Ace out wide from Shelton back to back all right Shelton's on the board with the aces two aces in in a row now 40 love um by the way John Joanna you need it uh you need this to you need them to stop playing right now Joanna's got nine 40 love finally sh showing up to the party by the way we are just waiting for a tie break I mean right as let on the second serve from Shelton 40 love Ser to the backand ofal then Shelton smacks it in the net 40 15 the elim mination Zone yeah as as you as each of you get eliminated from the as off we will uh we will we will pay our respects ah 45 seconds of Shelton serve goes a for of return He wide and Shelton stays in front 54 Shelton in the leads currently Joanna is winning the ace off on nine Mark is next with 10 John with 11 and Brent with 12 Margo's got 13 so we're starting to I mean if oura doesn't hit another R for the entire match that would be a shock unless there's a retirement which would be a shock as well all right nine aces in nine games okay how we doing chat the stadium is so imposing it's just that big tower that's kind of got that uh that that look but although they apparently upgraded the stadium because remember last year they were going to go to Charlotte um they were going to move the tournament to Charlotte and uh and there was a bid for for Charlotte to have like this awesome stadium and this like crazy new venue and then they uh they said no they're going to stick around and then they decided to upgrade the stadium they upgraded I think the seats they changed their logo um they made a couple of extra like shaded areas no roof um no roof but yeah they did a couple of things to like and I think like a lot of like behind the behind the scenes stuff as well like not like um not the on court stuff there's a lot of like offc court stuff they built as well like player player amenities and you know cafes and stuff I think they kind of upgraded that all right 54 Shon 26 minutes in what does the winner get uh the winner of this gets a of this trophy gets a uh like a V like a like a bars like a an N I guess I don't know what what do you what do you call it okay here we go Shelton a serve to stay in the set as the poker servs down the te and Shelton Shanks it long 15 love I was at ciny tournament 2009 federan adal Murray jovic were there yeah it's crazy serve it wide pelus serves a fault second serve second serve into the into the for of Shelton for fromel to the back and Shelton into the for of oela who HS it to the back to the for of Shelton and Shelton puts away the winner 15 oh unbelievable there's that name ah 45 minutes 45 minutes 45 minutes as far as I can tell that was 45 minutes I didn't mention anyone's name 45 that's the longest with that's the longest 45 minutes before somebody mentioned uh mentioned the name back in now from my PO on the net 153 45 that's pretty good we did World chat that's 15 minutes more than than normal an average 1530 sh about to seal the set here serving to the back into Shelton for from Aela into the for of Shelton with a slice opela forehand down the line off the tape is a winner po like sorry dude 30 all poker getting a little lucky there 30 all by the way aela's apologized before it even bounced and Sheldon almost got there all right 30 all Aela with the serve no the sun is is blinding both these guys at the moment Ser it wide is a fault second serve second serve the back and Shelton return is chipped into the for of Aela who smacks it down the line Shelton gets there but puts it wide and it's 4030 Mario woke by me and I said good luck Andy oh nice all right 30 minutes played 4030 B of fault from opela second serve can what would you include or exclude from tennis right now good question serving volley from Aela the volley is not bad but Shel with a backand wide and it's 55 um did opela not hit an ace in that game Wow first acess game for Aela um I would bring in I would bring in five set finals for the ladies in Grand Slams I would include that include five set finals for ladies because I think that would be so fun um just the finals for now like just just see what it looks like let's see what it does you know see how how it goes some people hate it because they think it's not going to be good quality but we don't know I would love to see I would love to just see it and let us let us all be the judge of it you know you know let us all see how it goes cuz it might be awesome as we Ace down the team from Shelton all right sorry Joanna you are officially out of the ace off Mark you are next 10 Aces we've hit double digits Sheldon has not lost a point on First Serve by the way 17 out of 17 seven in the four of Aela for sh into the four of Aela sh with the SCE into the for of OA with a backhand from Shelton oa's falling goes down the line Shelton's there with a forehand into the for of opoka longest rally of the match here is gets a backand Down the Line Shelton there with the back end of his own but it's long 15 oh that was at least a 10 shot rally 15 all yeah best of five set finals for the ladies in Grand Slams would be something that I would include I think that would be just fun as a as just to see how it goes you know and that is the one and only thing I would do because otherwise everything else kind of goes off that 15 all and as and like even more so with the some of the finals we've had this year in the grand slams I mean it would it would be so much more fun to have an extra set as with a volley there from Shelton 2 good 35 like the Australian Open final yeah okay maybe sabalenka wins it straight sets 33 and like we know two love and three but at least having an extra an extra set of tennis will give uh give us something to something to do rather than a match a final Grands final being over in an hour you know like this the French openen final right give a chance for palini to get the third set or the you know or maybe maybe shanc wins in straight sets but I think it' just be fun to kind of get those yeah okay maybe once every now and again we'll get a five set final but it's not like we're going to get a set final every single time we might get four sets we might get three sets you know but at least we get three sets because when we say best of five set finals everyone goes straight to like well they can't play five hours it's like well they won't have to like Shon could win in an hour and a half three sets double F Shon 30 Old there you know how many five hour five set finals of the men played lately like not that many there a few but not many as have smashed every sh oh no Shelton smashed it out 3040 but yeah I would just like to uh just as a just as a just as a test you know just as a test see what happens rather than us all saying well no you know they can't you know some of the some of the ladies can't play five sets it's like well we don't know that we haven't seen them play five sets let them let their athleticism be the judge you know there's been some terrible five setep finals with men the men you know some of the guys can't hack five sets you know I mean I don't think it matters really is with a volley there from Shelton that's a good shot he saves the break point that's his first break point save by first break point of the day too against Shelton or if we um if you don't want five set women's finals a five set ATP finals final the final match of the year five set final ATB finals like it used to be get that because it's the last match of the year why not do that isker in the net by the way we've only had um one ace or in the last few games this has been very strange Aces have dried up ADV vanage Shelton to serve out wide as a fault second serve last final that caught the Casual fans was sabinka G yeah sabinka g was a great final and then the australi Open final last year with back in and saan was great too there four now from AEL to the back in Shelton Shelton in the net back to Deuce but yeah but look it's not going to happen unless the uh it's either going to happen because the you know the the ITF are like we want five set finals or um or some of the ladies are like yeah let's play five sets like I it it won't happen unless the players want it they're not going to change the the they're not going to change things if the players don't want it changed you know and the players sometimes they change things without letting the players know but I don't think the ITF were going to look we'd have to have a lot of bad finals that goes the N from Shelton they'd have to be a lot of like one hour one you know boring finals of the of grand slam for them to be like maybe we should spice it up a bit you know what I mean all right Advantage ofer break point number two in the game to get the break here and then Ser the set still only three Aces from Shelton I did not anticipate him not hitting Aces serve out wide as a fault second serve second serve to the back of a pker for now from Shelton into the for pker on the stretch Shelton with the volley winner and we're back to Deuce this is going to longest game of the match so far get to Deuce serve is an ace out wide all right Mark thank you for joining the as off you have been you have been uh evicted all right John is next John 11 Aces Shelton serves into the back of Aer a in the net and Shelton survives a very tough game 65 all right let's go 23 thank you m I know look and look I know some of you especially on the lower end of things uh didn't want to pick the number you had to pick but I appreciate you for joining anyway thank you for joining the game despite having to pick look 11 Aces a very low number for these guys it's very it's it's a very tough uh tough to pick but I appreciate you were joining the game anyway even though it might have been the odds were stacked against you okay 65 serving to get to a tie break no surprise I think we're surprised that there's tie Breaks by the way Dasher up a set and 22 vage won the first against Kruger 75 uh MTI and Jerry have just hit the court Thompson's about to break on bar in the second all happen at the moment um but yeah Chad I'm going to try and for the next as off whenever we have it we might have it I mean we might have it this week if uh if players play certain players play but um I'm going to try and set up a more formal way of doing it so that uh so that that way uh everyone can get there and I and I'll give you guys all heads up before I like make it go live so that you don't all like you know get caught off guard and be like oh I was asleep when you told me I'm going to give you guys like a like you know at least some advanced warning that hey by the way if you want to be part of the as off this is when the we're going to go live with it you know because that way it's a little it's as Fair as it can be as Fair as Fair as I can be death taxes and tie breaks and Shelton matches that's I mean tie breaks and opela matches too right I think the over the over was 25 and a half I think for the for the match all right Aela serving to get to a tie break he serves a f second serve and Chad if we can get this uh if we can figure out how to do this properly we can uh we might be able to do some fun with it maybe prizes I don't know love 15 double F from opela I mean there's potential for prizes and all kinds of fun stuff we can do with the asof love 15 there's a poker serves on the tier fault second serve I mean an ace off and a grand slam would be wild as serve now the for Shelton return is shanked but poker served to let I think yep will it be for subscribers too um yeah I mean for now we're just going to do it as members thing but yeah we might we will open up to everybody eventually as that goes the there from shot on the return 15 all I just got to figure out how to like yeah we'll see I we'll see we'll we'll muck around with it and see how we go with it sering to the back of Shelton for from a pker Down the Line Shelton with for on the stretch goes long and it's 315 315 her catch has more tie breaks than Shelton yeah Shelton doesn't play as many tie breaks as you'd expect herat plays a lot of tie breaks I all right Salute You John thank you for picking 11 but unfortunately unfortunately you have been eliminated next on The Chopping Block is Brent Brent is in the hot seat Brent with 12 tell you what if you got somewhere in the mid 20s you're probably feeling pretty good about yourself I tell you what if you if you pick 40 and this goes three sets you might you might not be too far off is it to find out into the back can a show who hits over behind the back shop but it's long tie break and now it's time for the okay who is going to take this tie break we knew we're going to get a tie break we knew it was going to be one tie break right who you got chat let me know hey 6 Sheldon 108 opela who you got who you got Shelton serves and the return goes in the net one love Shelton Shelton 1210 74 Ben 75 Ben 141 12 of pela all right big numbers and big tiebreak numbers all right one love Shelton with the UNR returnable serve asela serves D the back and Shelton Shon chips It Wide on the return 15 sorry 111 WI a tiebreak 111 1 as we to serve again one one poker with the serve as one thank you Brent for joining the game unfortunately you have been eliminated Margo's next on The Chopping Block thank you Brent mate it was shortlived as you're as we should time how long somebody is uh somebody's in the hot seat somebody tells me in the tiebreak we're probably not going to be in the hot seat for too long 13 Aces right now here we go Shelt them with the serve thank you Brent for joining to serve out while the back and a AA return is long to two I mean it would be very unlucky if somebody was it's going to it's going to happen to me it'll go 22 Aces 23 in like two seconds they'll do backtack Aces and I'll be in the hot sea for 30 seconds Ace out wide all right thank you Margo for joining the ace off 14 Aces Shelton's hit a couple Aces shash shank is next Shashank next next on the uh next in the hot seat thank you Maro unfortunately that was I think Margo and Brent that was the uh that was the that was the quickest hot seat so far out wide in the for of Shelton backing a poker down the line that's not a bad shot Shelton gets up a slice it goes long it's 33 they change ends shank stop the count stop it now the seat wasn't hot for that long yeah [Laughter] true oh I tell you anyone who went under 20 Aces I know you didn't most of you had to pick TW under 20 so I understand some of you would have wanted to pick 30 I know somebody you didn't have a choice but hey I appreciate you putting put it on the line I picked 22 and I'm feeling pretty uh bad about my pick too I should have and I I picked first I went you know what I'm going to go with my number 22 I should have picked 40 damn it by the way next as off I'm not going in it so I'm going to be out of the next ace off all right 33 mker serving he's looking into the sunker serves fault second serve second serve such a cruel game I know it's a brutal game double fult okay there 43 Shelton gets a mini break all right 43 probably not that'd be inside of trading yeah next time I'm not going to be in it I won't be in the next one then again I I mean I should have played was smart I should have looked at the odds and gone what the odds of over under just pick that but I'm an idiot serving volum from Shelton volley to good 53 Shelton why is it only 13 Aces they didn't count one hang on what happened why don't they count an ace hang on second Margo might be back from the dead hang on Margo don't leave the island just yet you might you might be you might not be evicted first serve is a fault from Shelton second serve yeah the official count according to the stats is 13 we'll have to wait till the Stats come up on the screen but Ser to the back in of AAL return goes out Shelton's got three set points 63 we'll go by the official ATP stats because these sometimes are a little funky so Margo don't leave 63 serving to stay in the in this tie break all right 63 poker serbs D see the back Shelton return goes into the for of pker Shelton back sliced into the for of bker Shelton with the back hand get to the back end of opela Shelton with the forehand again to the back of oela opela gets it out Shelton first set tie break 73 in that tie break pretty easy tie break for Shelton in the end and he takes the first set against opela in 48 minutes in a tie break Ben Shelton all right all right let me just do an official count hang on let me just watch the Stats come up on the screen official count by ATP standard what do they count the extra race no okay Margo you're still there all right we have to retract according to the ATP apparently there was one that was not counted we had a random uncounted Ace all right so Margo's still in this I mean if Margo wins this from now this will be one of the greatest comebacks ever Marco still alive back in the hot seat Shashank you have to [Laughter] wait copy paste for set number two hey look I wouldn't mind having three TI make make this game a lot more fun having a three Setter okay first set 13 aces in the first Set uh now I need a uh an easy second set for Shelton yeah fly you're on [Music] 24 24 I mean look if Sheldon wins like 6'4 you might get there but we'll see we'll see I'll tell you who's coming up next so you've got Shashank on 14 picked 14 Caroline or Caroline picked 15 Dario with 16 fedw with 17 Cherry with 18 kakaya with 19 and then JVG with 20 and then I'm on I pick 22 so we'll see do you need to be do you need to join the members Discord to be part of the asof um for this one yes it was just a members only thing just to kind of test out the uh test it out yeah Anthony you picked 23 that's not a bad pick uh but yeah we we made it members only just for now just to kind of see if it what if it works um but if you if you join the membership then you uh you would have got a message as part of the as off okay first and the second they didn't count Shelton's last Ace as one yeah I thought so too I mean I thought they missed one but obviously uh the official stats of the stats 15 love we're going to go by the ATP stats we're not going to just make up Aces even if they're if they missed it then we'll just go I mean they couldn't have missed it they shouldn't have missed it Dash is about to win by the way it's a good day when Dasher wins there's a pel I think that's an ace was that an ace yes all right Margot thank you for coming back and apologies for wasting your time thank you thank you all right 30 love sh shank in the hot seat again Shashank out of the hot seat again that was the quickest back toback Aces sorry Shashank 15 Shashank thank you for your thank you for joining oh no Shashank I think that was 141 miles hour down the tea that Ace as well that was a good Ace sorry Shashank mate it was uh short and sweet first Ser is a fault by AA second serve God some of the some of the predictions go up in smokes in about two seconds serving to the back and the Shelton lob goes up Andel puts away the smash and it's one love poker in the second hey at least sh Shane you got a little bit extra time when Margo left but um all right so that means uh Carolyn B is on in the hot seat at the moment Carolyn B in the hot seat okay Aela he's at 11 Aces on his own I mean that's that's something I tell you what if you if you picked in between 20 and 30 you feeling good about yourself or nervous because I mean look Sheldon aela's going to start missing returns or at least starting to like you know he's probably not going to get his racket to as many in the second set you don't expect expect more Aces from Shelton I would say as that goes wide by pker on the return 15 love Shelton hit like what one ace before the tie or two a before the tie break 15 love is going to serve now from Shelton out wide Opel slies it back and Shelton puts away the forehand down the line 30 love it's a very surprising score line yeah I'm shocked it's crazy no breaks of sered to a tie break I mean wild it's closer than alrez versus jovic of the us at the Olympics all right 30 love first the F second serve Ser the forehand of aokoka hits it long 40 love 40 love so if you go if you picked over 40 you probably need this to go to opela this set you need this set to go to opela Dasha wins let's go let's go 64 62 that was a tough that could have been a tough match too it's a great day when Dash wins by the way Shelton's winning too I mean it's a great day on both sides Appel gets it out unbelievable one1 one-1 Shelton levels right back to opela when oela serves I feel like that's where the aces are coming from and that's where the nerves if you if you're on if you're on like the to if your if your numbers been up and oala serving I'd be nervous I am nervous and I'm not even my number is 22 so AA serves an ice was it a let no it was a let oh it was a let it was a lit serve again for my Poco he serves the fault this time second serve second serve into the back and the short return goes long 15 love uh seatings are set on after the ciny final so Tuesday 15 love so poker servs again down see the back in the sh return is wide 30 love I'm I'm guessing that it would be on THS on on Tuesday cu the rankings are updated a day later I think or maybe not maybe Monday but how does that work because the SE the rankings come out Monday but the finals on Monday maybe it's on Monday before the final maybe it's Monday uh like Norm it should be Monday but because they've changed the schedule that hang on anyways good uh sorry double fault there 315 so hang on let me check yeah so poin oh no no so okay so poin got a th000 points even though the rankings were updated Monday he got his ranking was updated Tuesday yeah okay so it's it's yeah so yeah it'll be Tuesday when the final's done but the ranking comes out Monday but it will be officially Tuesday I guess after the it's going to be after Cincinnati they can't do it before the final that'd be brutal anyway serving at the back end of Sheldon for from poke up is in the net o 30 Old who's in the hot seat right now um right now Carolyn B is in the hot seat all right 30 oh bad shop from Bad shop from opela 30 serve is an nice out wide all right thank you Carolyn B for joining and uh Fair well darer is in this hot seat now 4030 16 Aces Dar Kelly is in the hot seat 16 Aces as OA serves a f second serve second serve into the for of Shelton return goes the for of aoka Shelton with the slice as aoka slices it into the back end of Shelton volley from o is wide and we get the deuce that [ __ ] you think this is normal we get the deuce we get the deuce as poker serves again into the for of sh get that way oh hey on that could have been an ace but did Shelton touch it it went straight through Shelton's face but did he touch the O was that an ace we need a replay did Sheldon chip that I it was an ace it counts that counted and then he serves another one anyway so oh [ __ ] okay so we're on 18 so sorry fed World got all of three seconds in the hot scene sorry so it was two oh fed world sorry uh Daria you're in there for about a minute fedw was there for all of five seconds and now it's up to Cherry Cherry is in the hot seat six 18 Aces God that's brutal sorry fedwell just it was like oh it's my turn oh no it's not it's not can I is it my oh and there is a nice it's all right thank you for having me it was that was way too that was just unfair didn't even get to put 17 on the board all right all the 5 Seconds that one shout to fed well we we salute you thank you for uh thank you for joining all right 18 is the number it's only 21 in the second and we've still got possibly a whole another set after this if you're on 40 you got to be 30 to 40 is feeling pretty good um Jerry upper break against musetti 43 O Thompson serving for the second set against um as well blinking you miss it I know right when no pus Ser it I mean it's brutal he served three Ace in that game 14 Aces and Counting is insane yeah but it's crazy because it's kind of low like he usually I mean he might serve 30 plus Aces himself o paler if we go three all right back to Sheldon who's only four aces and I say only four because it's nothing compared to his opponent okay Shelton serves to the back of AEL return goes into the for of Shelton AEL with a slice on the stretch into the for of shon Shon in the net and it's love 15 love 15 thank you everybody for sticking around this is fun it's a great idea the ace off we're going to have to do it again we'll have to do it again this week sometime definitely makes the matches between serbs a lot lot more interesting 15 all good Sur Shelton down the te do we have any other potential serve bot matches coming up have a look first Ser is a fault from Shelton second serve herat is a notorious serving machine I don't think her catch me have counts as a as a Ser as an ace off double fault so her catch doesn't he's not playing anyone that's yeah he won't be playing a serve bot until I mean I don't even know if he will to be honest what on the women's side what about [Music] Rebecca not really I mean Rebecca PK would be an ace off for sure 15 30 is backing up fromel to the for of Shelton AEL back on the stretch the for of Sheldon Shelton in the net 1540 pal could to get the break here what about sabalenka sabalenka sabalenka and isova could be an ace off maybe we might be doing we might be able to do an ace off with them that could count we just have to wait and see you guys just kind of throw it at me stuff yes stuff definitely an ace off I don't know if passes considered as we got to serve out what is that an ace no it's UNR returnable 30 40 one saved um yeah I don't think Cy pass counts as as a serve bot so I don't think we can count him but definitely um Stu definitely back and return from AEL the net and Shelton saves both we're back to Deuce yeah Jang uh also Fritz is a bit of a serve bot at times um so Fritz versus rublev might we could maybe do an ace off for those guys cuz rublev's got a pretty big serve it's not going to be five you know he's not going to 50 Aces but I mean Fritz versus rublev potentially could be an ace off first the F second serve second serve Shelton into the back end of opela great return winner from opela this is going to be a Serv volley from Shelton but opela just smacked the return winner Advantage opela Rebecca sabalenka will face that'll be an ace off for sure if we if those two play um Jang Goff is gofer I don't know if gof is considered a serve bot maybe maybe not anyways return from Opel is chipped into the for of Shelton Opel with the for on the stretch goes in the net and back to Deuce you know what the way we can find out who's a serve Bo is who hits the most Aces who's hit the most Aces for the year that is how you that's how you determine the serve bot all right return goes into the for of Sheldon down the line at the for of Aela is AA Shanks of wi it'san Shelton so we've got reaka Pisha Garcia sabalan Jang Osaka Samson overa alexandrova Peno oh P hang on peno's AER Penco reako could be an ace off in the quarters no sorry not reako um Sabal lenos to Peno quarter final a off potentially Collins Bosa veic nosova gof Parry Lynette Bolta mert and Townsen but some of those aren't playing all right good serve again and we get it to dece um as returning the N from opalin it's Advantage Shelton Advantage Shelton oh the men side of things don't give us a number of Aces do they all right here we go found it first there's a fa from Shelton second serve has herat at 650 Aces serving volley shot in the net herat 635 Aces already this year that's crazy so we got herat Zev Fritz Buck Shel struff rublev cter gsor sinner cner might be in an a off oh sinner gricks could have been an ace off we could have watched that would have been an ace off poin m is an ace off a bit bit of an ace off anyways Advantage Shelton Maybe Po and M but tomorrow we got so much to watch we can't we probably won't watch them anyway Runa demitro tiao as well Mev yeah okay we we'll do it again maybe not it might not be this week but I mean a US Open ace off would be kind of wild good serving Sheldon and he survives 22 no aces in that game though yeah geks ball lost Greeks ball lost no open we're not opening cards today uh we'll wait we we'll save the cards for uh for a rainy day which might happen later in the week Thompson's going three by the way with Bear by the way I'll tell you what uh Cherry has been sitting on the hot seat for a while that was a long game no Aces Cherry's been uh I just uh jinxed it oh pal with the ace down the tea sorry Cherry that was on me thank you for joining us sorry my bad that was my bad that was on me I'll I'll that's me that's my

fault this time second serve second serve second the back of the Shot return goes the for of aa aa in the net 315 fish cannot handle the heat yeah it's really hot today so a lot of players I me remember jovic was dealing with the problems with the hate last year 3015 when does ogas play uh probably on Thursday 35 serve out wide and Shelton puts it in the net 4015 405 let me just have a look so yeah alcarez won't have an opponent tomorrow so tomorrow be poin versus ma winner plays ELR on Thursday um yeah that would be my guess back hand goes short from Shelton and then op puts it away 3-2 poker stays in front in the second so yeah I'm looking at the matches that we might get tomorrow schedule should be out in the next couple hours C mikkelson might be tomorrow uh rublev Jong might be tomorrow Jong rublev that's a that's an interesting match is that an ace off n Jong doesn't serve that many aces uh we can't do an ace of every matchon might play tomorrow as well it might be top half of the draw for the ladies and the men tomorrow hasov will be tomorrow because hasov played yesterday uh so he'll he'll play tomorrow against Zev you you pretty much lock that in leka Mev that could be tomorrow that's a good matchup uh who else is playing today anyone else playing today yeah so I would I would guess font sinner Zev meev playing tomorrow maybe rublev as well and the players that won't play tomorrow at this ALR won't play tomorrow rude might play might not uh he might not play tomorrow um also all the matches that all the first rounds that haven't happened yet they will all play tomorrow obviously like Cy pass struth will be tomorrow bartini Runa will be tomorrow um cter kinho Buster will be [Music] tomorrow on the women side you'll have um aniss over as a rankle be

return goes in the net from Aela good serve from Shelton 15 sorry 30 love are we doing anything else today uh no we're going to we're going to uh at this stage I don't plan on doing today's been it's a weird day cuz there's not I mean this is the best match there is and that's only because we're doing an ace off uh as the return goes out 4 haven't been to many crazy matches on paper today uh you know like tonight's matches you've got avanessian taking on on Rescue that's an interesting match but I mean how many how many of you are going to stay up late to watch that one uh Fritz Nakashima I mean that's not bad but again not not the same level as uh tomorrow tomorrow is going to be pretty crazy I'm going to take this opportunity to uh to try and try and recharge for a full week next week who replaced the nisimova wait nisimova is out there's no way anisimova is out is she did anisimova someone said she withdrew that would be so [ __ ] for Osaka how because Osaka would have played by the way thank you assist sports for putting for blowing my face up really big and making a video on Twitter what the it's a very extreme closeup um thank you appreciate the nice words um I haven't got anything from Inova on Twitter P 30 love that would be so annoying because Osaka was supposed to be where aiss over is in the draw so that'd be really a shame if we get another rce I think from opela wait hang on I'm missing the aces all right chat you I've distracted hang on hang on how many AC is that 20 20 Aces bang all right we've hit two thank you kakia for joining the game as P down the the back of the return is a winner 415 in the hot seat now we've got JVG in the hot seat by the way chat I picked 22 Aces and I'm I'm feeling a little nervous yeah n some still in the draw I see okay yeah jabber pulled out uh she got replaced by a lucky loser that was like that was a couple of days ago down the te goes the for of Shelton Shelton in the net and it's 4-3 OA leads a second um Anisa MOA has no need to play I know but God it just sucks for that Osaka could have been in the tournament if Anisa pulls out that'd be really um unfortunate for Osaka it wouldn't look Inova can do whatever she wants it's not her fault you know oaka could have qualified right but we'll just wait and see there's no I can't see any word on SM over so I don't it's not confirmed until it's confirmed but 43 poker in the second yeah I'm not seeing anything about anisim over so until until we get uh confirmation we we won't say anything all right M's losing yeah they said she had fatigue who's they they announced she with Drew during the vage match who's so what what's is that tennis WT what's that what are we talking about commentator just said oela leads with 16 Aces yep but it leads what tenness V said she pulled out do you mean Tennis Channel there's no word online so let me triple check um yeah I don't see anything official yeah nothing online oh here we go an hour ago okay and this over with Drew she's been replaced by bronzetti who will take on as a ranker God that's such a shame such a shame for Osaka and it's a shame for in overa that she couldn't keep playing bronzetti will take her spot there you go confirmed by the internet anyways love 15 thank you for updating us chat um so anissimova out of the tournament replaced by bronzetti who will take on as a ranker volum from Shelton to good 15 yeah that's a tough that's tough for Osaka that's tricky the tournament should have given him a wild card it's a bad it's bad for Cincinnati because you know Osaka versus Azarenka would have been a banger that would have been a night session Blockbuster sold out crowd I mean what are you talking about you know didn't they play didn't they they were supposed to play here um in 2020 weren't they weren't they in the final and then Osaka said no and then AAR Ranka won the title with a withdrawal I'm pretty sure right and then the US Open rematch yeah the final of the US Open right and then Osaka yeah I mean God that match would have just sold itself anyways thir 15 they were supposed to play the um the ciny final too right not just the US Open final as opoka hits it out 405 but um oh well it's what you get for giving the wild card to uh not to Osaka you know good serve there from sh again it's 44 again an acess game but not for long opela serves again tell you what chat I wouldn't mind if uh if opela serve two Aces gets broken and Shelton wins the match I'm just saying two Aces but gets broken oelker in this game and Shelton wins the match serving no Aces I would be happy with that if that happens you'll all say it's rigged how could I have rigged this though it's impossible for me to have rigged this I don't control the aces Ace oh one more and that's enough by the way thank you uh JVG for your uh for your contribution to the uh to the game Gan O'Brien in the in the hot seat now 21 is the Ace count 15 lover is O poker serves fult second serve second serve

you're a member you might have uh might have been informed as that goes out from Shelton it's 54 poker no only one ace in that game that's not bad uh the ace off is basically everybody who uh entered got a chance to uh to pick how many aces are going to be in the match combined and uh so far about 10 people have been eliminated from the uh the ace off with about 20 with about 40 people still left in the ace off all right who's MTI playing he is playing Jerry and he is losing he is losing all right shout Des serving to stay in the set um all right so right now in the hot seat we've got gin o'

but apparently it's rigged right I said 32 Aces was I late to answer um yeah you you missed out somebody already picked 32 unfortunately we're going to do a better system of it next time um because I I found it I didn't realize how many people were going to which is awesome I didn't realize how many people were going to join try and join so um I'm going to try and make it I want to make it so it's uh so that you all can go and pick pick a number and then once that number's been picked it gets eliminated so that nobody can double up anyways f a f rally there Shelton hit a f inside out to the slce of P the net and it's 15 love 15 love and Shelton serves again you'll have to add Aces versus double FS to spread the players out uh yeah maybe in the future maybe 15 love serve now the four hand of a p return is the winner 15 all unbelievable I mean there might be a way that we can do like you know we can have multiple people you know picking the same number but like and cap it at like two or three like three people could pick the same number if we get a lot of people involved um and that way we can kind of like you know figure it out that way 1530 by the way tell you what a pel might seal this set we might go to a third which means there's no chance of win in this game 1530 I was going to say it but I'm not going to say it but 1530 serve wi the back ofela return the Vol of Sheldon Shelton puts it away opela nearly get there but uh just couldn't quite flick it back 30 oh this feels like the game where someone is sitting above a pool and throwing throws the hoop the ball in the hoop above the head seats open and drops the person near the pool oh it's like a dunk tank you're talking about a dunk tank anyway second Ser Shelton into the back of AEL return is long and it's 4030 4030 Shelton to level this second set with the serve Ace down the te oh God Shelton serves his fifth Ace I think it's his first a of the set oh God chat come on I need thank you uh thank you g o Brian for joining the game Chad if he serves an ace right now I'm going to Riot if he IFA serves an ace right now I'm going to be pissed opela serves into the back of Shelton into the back of opela on the net love 15 come on let's go woo one point there we go come on this is my game this is my time love 15 wouldn't mind two three double faults right now A pokus figure out fin forget how to serve that that'd be fine serve is an ace all right I'm out you happy now chat you happy you happy now I'm out anyways back in the net from Shelton and it's 315 who in the hot seat Anthony Anthony is in the hot seat Anthony's in the hot seat God that that was like two points like that was like a minute sorry what a stupid game who invented this game stupid 305 so stupid acce out wide sorry Anthony don't worry mate you can join me on the loses bench Anthony's out fly with CG is next 24 Aces Opel he's just ruining all our lives with these aces all right 405 poker to stay in front serving the back of a Shelt return is chipped into the back of opela Shelt with the forehand opela voles it away okay opela 65 we're at least going to get a tiebreak so I'll tell you what anybody who's picked 20 something is going to be nervous because 20s something might be uh might not be enough all right I think me and Anthony I mean I don't know who was on the who's in the hot seek less at least we got one point in between Aces I mean that helps that helps at least I got to I got to sit in that chair for an extra minute one ace in two games let's go I mean one ace in one game plus a tie break if OA doesn't get one more Ace I mean that'd be insane meanwhile us over here at the 40 are over tling our thumbs yeah if you picked over 40 first of all you hope Bo wins but uh this set but I mean yeah I knew I I knew 22 was too low once I picked it I was like a [ __ ] I should have gone with like 40 something pel was always going to hit 20 something Aces on his own anyways bring on the aces yeah Suzanne where are you at Suzanne's on uh 55 Aces yeah you need uh you need Shelton to start hitting Aces I said 32 but it was late Ah that's all right Leon you might be on the next one how many aces were in their last match last night's match with popper and rublev can't remember I wouldn't think as many not as many um um 14 14 Aces combined 10 from poin okay here we go Shelton Serv to get to a tie break in the second set Shelton serves a fult oh that was close just missed second serve fly with CG get nervous second serve into the for of a poker poker is a wide and it's 15 love 15 love serve again into the back and a poker return goes long 30 love I think 22 is a good guess well they've hit 24 so it was a bad gu only one good guess and that's the correct answer 30 love serving to the four ofel a fault second serve Shelton Shelton second serve into the forehand of opela for from Shelton it's why 315 all Shelton had to do was win that game and the next fly with look fly with CG you are sitting in this you have been in the hot seat longer than me and Anthony combined so I wouldn't be uh wouldn't be too upset 305 Ser season [ __ ] that was my bad I'm so sorry I'm so sorry as soon as the words left my mouth I knew I'd said something 405 I'm so sorry so sorry oh why does this keep happening for now poker in the net and Shelton goes to a tiebreak let's [Applause] sorry and now it's time for the all right who's going to win the tiebreak by the way Isabelle you are next in line yes you are the next in line you are uh you're on 25 who's going to win the tie rate I'm so sorry fly I'm sorry fly oh I apologize to everybody that every time I mentioned somebody somebody winning anyways you were in there for a while a lot of people going with Shelton fewers all right F goes in from o to the back of Shelton o with the forehand to the for of Shelton on the Strat you hits it long one love of aoka all right let's update the ace count sorry thank you fly with CG you were you did a you were that was all right you did a good job I don't think I wonder how long I wonder what the longest hot seat has been can you imagine Chad if someone gets in the hot seat of match oh pity the person who has to do that on Match Point there's an ace oh you're you got to be kid who's who's it going to be the unluckiest soul 1 as Shelton gets the point can you imagine I'll tell you what I hope it's not Deb uh sorry oh no I didn't mean to say that I'm sorry please don't be Deb I don't need this anyways back here return goes the back of the Shelton sorry D in advance Z Go's out byel 21 oh God okay so so right now Isabelle's in the see we got Ray and Deb coming up next also Brian DJ and Razer round at the top 30 do you have real life friend real life friends cam uh yeah I have a couple all right 21 Shelton poker serves a f second serve second serve seconds the forner Shelton return goes in the back and ofela Shelton on the stretch gets it but it's in the net to two two all I'll tell you what there's probably a lot of people that picked 40 even the people that pick 30 are probably rooting for Aela right now if you pick 35 you probably like your chances if AEL can get this set all right 22 serving to the for of Shelton he chips it back oela smacks it into the for of Shelton volley oela Shelton's back in pass it's too good 32 Shelton with the mini break this is going to be BR 32 Shelton uh jbg mate you were in the uh you're in the hot seat for for a little bit all right 32 Shelton poker gets past right now Isabelle's in the hot seat 32 Shelton is Shelton serves into the front of opela return goes the for of Shelton and Shelton will just goes in opel's there drop shot Shelton's going to get it and hit a backand long 42 they change ends Shelton's three points away from getting this done in straight sets we had no breaks of serve 25 Aces I feel like this has been a good a good fun the a off has been a success we'll do this again we'll definitely do this again hopefully this week if we can get a couple of sbot we can uh we might do the ace off again okay 42 serve from Shelton again serve to the back of AA return goes wide 52 Shelton okay it's opela serve that you got to worry about he's the one that ruined it seems to have ruined us all okay 52 Shelton two points away as pker serves a fault second serve Hey DJ You're Just in Time mate second Ser into the back end of Shelton volley from aoka goes out all right Ben Shelton's got four match points and Isabelle is in the hot seat at the moment but opel's got to surf come 62 Shelton with four match points to take the win but more importantly to see who gets wins the ace off as we an ace sorry fault for myela second serve second serve second serve the back of the sh goes back myela Shelton with the forehand again the back by Pala and Shelton hits it in the net and it's 63 Shelton poers still in this match for another Point Shelton serving with Match Point still Isabel on the hot seat by the way next is Ray but if there's an ace here it's all over Shelton serves to take his spot in the second round and beat oela he serves into the back of a return and the volley winner from Sheldon it's Isabelle wins the first ever ace off 25 and oela Shelton play two tie breaks I tell you what Sheldon's a big a big guy opela is just another level I mean he is taller than the stadium roof if they had one all right congratulations to uh congratulations to uh to Isabel 25 God was close wasn't far off thank you everybody who joining the ace off we'll do that again for sure I was six Aces short yeah I tell you that goes to a third set you know we're looking at 30 plus maybe 40 Aces so but good win for Shelton tough awkward match no breaks of serve as expected couple of break points here and there but no breaks of serve but um yeah um that was fun yeah that was fun we'll do it again like I said I'm going to try and set it up so that so that we have uh so that you know it's a little easier to navigate but we'll definitely do that again hopefully this week if there's a if there is a serve a match with two serving players I just think it makes it more fun because I I'm like you Chad if we watch two players just play tie breaks it's like ah okay but at least like the aces mix it up a little bit make it a little bit less uh less repetitive does the winner get anything not for this one we're just uh we're just playing having fun for the first time but the next one I don't know we might do there might be a we might do an ace off with a with a prize um but we'll wait and see we'll wait and see cuz that would make it more fun uh if there was something on the line hopefully next time there'll be no cam curses I apologize to those who I cursed all right I I admit that that was my bad there was twice there that I said something that was my bad giveaway merch as a prize tops cars as a prize I love it all the people that are non-members are telling me what to do we're going to let the members decide what the prices are CU they're the ones that are involved I gained respect Isabelle you you are the ace off Champion number one the first and only ace off Champion so you have ultimate bragging rights as the as the first ever champion of the asof so that is uh that is your your your prize and I'll write down all the names of the uh of the people that that won so we we can at least keep a keep a record of who won uh maybe we should also guess the number of shots of the longest rally of the match yeah I don't want it to get too complicated I think Aces is just really easy um really easy and for me to count longest rally I don't even think we can find what that is you know you know that's the problem it's got to be something that's really simple that's not that's easy to get yeah Anthony you got bronze fly with CG was so so l so unlucky very very close um as well just that one ace was there only one ace in the tie break I don't even think there was an ace in the tie break was there an ace in the tie break I don't think there was our winner count doesn't always work again I think we should just do Aces I mean the ace off the name and it works we'll just keep it to as off we'll just keep it simple chat keep it simple we don't need to make it too uh too fancy the guy who is off by one gets a pie in the face yeah yeah we'll just keep it simple and like I said you know there is potential to have it like you know multiple people pick the same number um but at this stage we'll make it just one one name and again we're not going to do it every day we'll just do it once every whenever uh whenever there's a a match that seems like it might be a bunch of tie breaks we we'll just we'll play we'll do an ace off there's no curse it was meant it was meant to be it was meant to be that's right thank you fly with G for confirming there's no curse I appreciate that I think double fault should be simple enough though yeah but I don't know I mean simple but I mean faults counter is always it's going to be between 1 and 10 like Ace counters can be between 1 and 100 there's like way more chances especially with these guys double fault counter is like pretty low and if if there's only like you know what I mean if there's only like um you know maximum 10 double faults combined then there's only 10 people can play so at least with Aces people can pick between 1 and 100 and we get a lot of people involved double fault count is a little too Limited um winner off perhaps now winners are too much it's too hard to to to do that one cuz winners we can't count in real time you know what I mean like again aces are a stat that's shown on the screen for the entire match winners are like winners are a little bit dodgy like on this screen here it says winners but ATP have a like this is not coming from the ATP directly so it can be a little bit off so it's a little I don't want people to feel like they're getting ripped off aces are like easy and clean cut like super easy like he he hit an ace Undisputed like you can't it's very it's very hard to dispute whether or not it was an ace um so I feel like again just we got got to keep it simple if we make it complicated it'll get annoying and people won't want to and I it'll annoy me because I got to figure all this stuff out and if it's not if it gets too too technical then it gets a little too annoying let's keep it simple whoever picks the most Aces for the combined wins and that's uh that was Isabelle did he happen to get a a card from Wallace from Seattle Wallace I feel like we did what did it look what did the card look like I'd rather watch a high average match High Ace average match than a high double fault match yeah true yeah aces are more fun than double fault I mean look we could do like a I mean look there could be a situation in the future if we want to get a little technical that a double fault makes it go down one so like it offsets so like if it's a double fault then so people that pick like 20 still have a chance so even if your numberers gone past it can still go back and if it's a double fault we could do something like that maybe so like seven double faults so would have been 18 right am I get you making am I making sense but we won't do that to start with we might do down the track but not to start with we'll keep it simple to start so let double fold to minus one but we won't do that for we won't do that uh start we'll keep it simple most Aces or pick the aces yeah combine them but like again like I said for now we'll do it just this and uh and see how we go because I mean we might do this for a couple of matches and then we just get over it the novelty wears off by Kruger won the second set against vage veage is playing a marathon 2 hours and 20 minutes into a third set she is going to be feeling it my nadar's shirt came today love it ah Brenda love that thank you for buying the shirt appreciate that all right so yeah chat that's it and that's that we're done and done uh for the day short stream or at least short 2our stream but one match today not much going on that's the problem with today there's not much going on on day one or day two I guess technically of Cincinnati is not much to do but I'm glad we got to do this and I hope we can uh we can do this again um play do another one especially in these early rounds when there's not that much fun like stuff going on you know when the uh when the matches are when the matches are a little bit predictable at least we can do the uh the ace off that was really fun yeah I had fun too I I love getting involved as well I think I'll send you a coffee mug later no no it's well I'm sure your card's here I just have to double check they just really enjoy the time that I'm able to be a part of the show today uh today uh sucked as a watcher and a listener work work that's all right that's what we're here for while you're working you can sit back and listen you don't have to uh it was one with black and white lettering and Seattle and the other was colorful Pike Place Market all right I have to double check I'll double check I can't I can't remember but I'll double check thanks for the that was fun it was fun that was fun we'll do it again hopefully we'll do it again this week it's been one of the best streams lately we've done a lot of streams so I can understand that I can totally understand that uh so yeah let's uh potential face a off two I mean look rubv Jong but the problem is that that's going to be tomorrow with a lot of other matches so we might not even watch rubv tomorrow cuz we can't do an ace off if we're not watching the match um but there's potential that we could watch Z of Shelton in the quarterfinals could be an ace off so that could be one cter versus ver in a third round could be an ace off so there are potentially Ace offs in the in the rest of the tournament even C rublev could be some Fritz rublev sorry could be an as off Fritz C could be an a off but we we'll use it sparingly we won't do an ace off every day otherwise it get otherwise we it won't be fun if we do it all the time and Dasha won yes Dasher did win thanks for sending this up on short notice cam no always me and give me give me some more time to figure out how uh how we could do it I mean I'd love to get more people involved so maybe we can do next maybe the next one we'll have a maximum of three people can pick the same the same uh the same number so that way we can have more people involved cuz I don't want people to think that like you know I don't want people to think that they're uh they keep missing out and we'll keep it to members only because it's more uh it's there's less members uh so it won't get too too much and then hopefully in the future we could open up to everybody but we'll keep it to a members uh members thing for now as a still yeah we'll just make it just keep it for members for now um just cuz there's I mean even like like I tell you the the uh even just the members I mean there was like 50 people involved so it's like that's a lot um if we opened up to everybody there'd be like there could be hundreds and I I'm not capable of that you know um yeah so we'll see incentive to join as me yeah and it's great yeah it's just fun a fun little members uh members perk as well you know but like I'd love to open up to everybody down the track but we'll just keep it to members for now and look you can still join in even if you're not a member you know unofficially you you can join that's why you should become members yeah it's only a dollar a month if you want to become a member will Saker have play qualifies the US Open if she doesn't get a wild card I think she has a wild card doesn't she by speaking of members I'll give five members get some of you involved for the next one let me give some members for you for everybody for those who missed out on this one you can join the next one um let we gift you members great idea fun stuff oh Ray you were so close so close mate just just that needed one more ace to the end needed Shon ace at the end you uh you were so close mate will there be prizes for the winners in the future like merch yeah we'll do prizes for the winner for sure um I've still got to figure that like I don't know that I got to figure out the uh the details of it all but first I got to figure out how we're going to how we get a good system going to pick the to pick the uh the R es no no cigar yeah you're close there you go thank you uh for watching the channel Bella Stacy anua naked eyes and P Paula thank you for watching you will be well when we do the next a off you can be a part of it but yeah but it's it's fun I had fun despite almost winning I was close oh I was so close so close to winning um by the way I won't be in the next one all right I won't be in the next one cuz if I win then that's not fair I was so close but Isabelle Isabelle did you change your name with a gold medal I love it you earned that medal by picking how many aces were going to be hit and you were correct you earn that medal that's so funny all right by the way if you are a member don't forget to join the Discord as well we have a members only Discord um that you can join so make sure you join that as well all right Chad I'm going to go and take my uh take my S for a run which is not I don't want to but I have to uh and then I'm going to come back and I'm going to probably pass out but we'll be back tomorrow I know what we're watching tomorrow at this stage because we don't have the schedule yet but like I said possibly C possibly Shon possibly Zev um possibly meev I mean there's some big matches potentially tomorrow uh that we could be watching uh so make sure you stay tuned over the next couple of days Cincinnati it's going to be it's going to be fun Cincinnati all the names are back except for Jo but everyone else is back so uh it's going to be a good fun good fun time but uh Sheldon wins 7676 I mean you could have picked that score line three hours ago uh he wins in straight sets no breaks of serve again as you'd expect from these guys lot of Aces as you'd expect and uh I'll see you guys tomorrow for another big day of Cincinnati tennis [Music] a [Music] a [Music] [Music] he [Music]
