and we're back guys welcome to tennis in a minute this video is brought to you via the doctorine of fair use to fair daing and we're also covered under the Digital Millennium act I'm your host get energy I give you the rundown on tennis coverage every day we head back to New York City the US Open where dreams are born if you can make it here you can make it anywhere in Paula badosa vamos that's right she says adios to Victoria goobic she takes her out by dishing out a bagel in the first set and like I said ladies and gentlemen I think Paula badosa not via I think bosa's headed on a collision course with the reigning and defending Champion Koko that's going to be fireworks if they meet in the quarterfinal matchup stay tuned ladies and gentlemen and what about Tatiana Maria taking on the qualifier Solana now listen guys this is the only miss of the day all the other picks should have came in right now I said Solana she may be able to beat Tatiana Maria if she's patient but I said Maria's going to hit around midcourt with that same defensive slice and if sana's not patient and discipline she's going to rush into mistakes and surely enough she was not Maria takes her to school what about Maya joint she's back in the USA for college ladies and gentlemen taking out the veteran Laura Sigman she takes the first set up a break in the second stay tuned Maya joint she's got a bright future ahead of us and listen guys the future of tennis right now and the now the reigning and defending Champion Cory Coco golf dishes out a bagel in the second set that's right ladies and gentlemen Coco looks solid in the words of igus fian she looks very good today now listen watching this match guys this is the part where I give my opinion I give my criticism kok said in the postmatch interview some very very true things but watching this matched this is a version of Coco I've never seen before in my life she looks like she's on her grown woman duties today ladies and gentlemen every pressure point situation she face in this match she walked up to the line calmly and blasted off an ace or in a amazing powerful serve that vavar could do nothing with she saved all nine breakpoint opportunities that vavar had that's Brad mom in the background yes I know who Koko's mom is come on guys this is a jokeing joke listen Koko's mental maturity in this match amazing amazing she was never frustrated even though she faced nine breakpoint opportunities she was never upset always calm relaxed kept her composure this is the type of Coco that will take over the tour ladies and gentlemen this version of Coco the mental Clarity maturity that I saw in this matchup beautiful great job Cory Koko golf the future of tennis you looked amazing today her forehand winners today insane ladies and gentlemen the power the velocity on those four hands down the line now vavar I felt being the third seed this is kind of a tough matchup in terms of ranking I mean normally a third seed shouldn't be playing someone you know with a ranking of avara but nonetheless I I thought it was a t made matchup now if you thought vavar had a chance to beat kok no I I just don't think so Koko's game is just it's tailor made for someone like vavar vavar is going to play into the hands of Koko and I think we saw that today and I want to Pivot a bit and talk about Emma Navaro now Emma Navarro's game is is very comparable to vavar she doesn't have this blast you off of the Court serve right she's not overwhelmingly athletic even though she's she's very fit and active and Young she has power and and believe me vavar is jacked I would give vavar the power Edge over em andavar vavar is jacked and go watch those old videos where vavar was on that run last year at the ATX where I was covering vavar breaking down her game vavar is a really really good tennis player and she has nothing to be ashamed of but I think Emma noar's game is very comparable and much like kokob be Emma Naro and ockland they could possibly meet here right early in this tournament but the reality here is I think the game plan at sw19 for Navaro was a horrible game plan kok could have went in there and just beat her just playing naturally and if they meet here in the US Open you're going to see Koko I think she's going to destroy imaro it's it's it's it's a tailor made matchup for Koko her game just complement everything that Koko does well she gets balls back she's athletic she's very fast she's a good defensive player and she's going to set up her back end Koko played amazing today and that's a Jordan fist pump guys I want to take look set over set at how amazing Koko played in the first set she had seven Aces five double faults second set three Aces W double fault she got 76% of her first serves in play in the second set 58% in the first set she won 74% of her first serves in the first set that number was right at 70% in the second set saved all nine of her breakpoint opportunities that vvar had 16 winners to five very aggressive Koko very aggressive but smart and tactical she also had 21 unforced errors imagine if she cuts that number in half double Bagel unbelievable now vvar looked to be she looked she looks she looks embarrassed here and I just want to say vvar you're you're very talented tennis player you're an amazing athlete nothing to be ashamed of it happens to everyone but you could tell the look on her face she she looks very ashamed and embarrassed nothing to be ashamed of avar you played well kok's just she's just big time now in the postmatch interview Koko would say some beautiful things she would say she played and by the way take that Olympic necklace off put on a US Open champion because you're reigning and defending now Koko would say she played her best tennis definitely going back the last few weeks that I would say a fact but also I want to just mention I don't think she played necessarily bad in those exits in uh Toronto and Cincinnati I mean take a look at the match up with Diana I think it was the game plan I mean Diana said exactly what I said in the in the video that I made Koko's playing way too big and Diana said in the interview coko was hitting the ball so hard I was like oh my goodness can I return this I just felt the game plan wasn't a good game plan and a lot of times you got to understand especially with tennis players the younger tennis players that want to please their coach a lot of times they going to do exactly what their coach tells them it might not be the best game plan take a look at someone like me andreva who is coached by Martinez mirror would say in the postmatch interviews um I forgot what my coach told me to do so I just went out there and played so a lot of times if you forget it might not necessarily bad not might not NE not it might not necessarily be a bad thing if you're Coco because the reality is she's so darn good excuse me guys I'm talking so fast I'm just excited coko hands out a bagel in the second set now Koko would also say in the postmatch interview that listen whatever happens happens and I I I can respect that mentality but listen Koko you're going to go out there and you're going to defend your title make it happen see it believe it dream it like you did last year the mentality last year was see it and believe it all about good energy this year in defending a title and she mentioned you know there's a lot of pressure especially when you're defending a grand slam she said listen someone commented on Tik Tok and they said something very nice and said look if you're defending something that means you won something and if you did it once you can do it again yes coko just believe you can do it again you are the future of tennis our top ranked American you're an amazing athlete just go out there stay mentally strong don't let the haters or the doubters get to you because you have what it takes you have what it takes you really do your skills your athletic ability you're a once in a generational lifetime Talent everyone knows it there's just so much pressure on you because you're so famous you're so popular we we've been spoiled with Serena for so long that a lot of that weight has been placed on your shoulders and like that that person said on Tik Tok you've already won at life and that is true you've already succeeded You're a grand slam Champion you have so many accolades so many records but have fun with the game and remember like Federer said it's just a game if you think Roger losing a match this is Roger's words if you think me losing a match causes me to have any less sleep at night you're wrong this is just a game at the end of the day there's people dealing with serious problems in the world this is just a game that's what Roger said and coko have fun with it but remember you have what it takes tennis in a minute Koko hands out a bagel in the second set stay tuned for more tennis coverage and look coko she said she reads the comments show some love for good energy we'll be right back
