yeah I mean Bosa won Washington she's been back with a bad back injury and uh she looked very good there she's healthy and that's what counts she she was away for a while former number two player in the world by the way also has very very little experience playing doubles or mixed but she has a good volley you know and I think she she feels a little more comfortable up there than say Naomi does at this point she's played a few more doubles tournaments more of an allc Court player and of course C co go is such an allc Court player even at a young age of 15 years old we saw that when she beat Venus Williams at Wimbledon on top of the net and a quick hold at love she gets down nice and low she's got some strong legs she's got a good foundation to you know attack a Voli and that's the way you should position yourself and she has good hands she actually comes in a lot in singles John she doesn't play a lot of doubles but she comes in in singles and she has the good hands she has the instincts Bosa and S I saw them warming each other up practicing in the outdoor practice courts in the breeze before this match I wouldn't want to be if I was po dealing with Ben serve on the ad Court that's that's a big ask true and I mean undoubtedly KOCO go is the most comfortable player on this court with this forsome playing double she's played the most of anybody maybe anybody combined go that's smart that's smart it's it's wicked no matter where she stands he hits the reserve right she anyone's in trouble guy or girl but that I like that standing out there and sort of forcing him to go up the middle yeah but if he hits the spot up the middle she's not getting anywhere near it if he hits the spot period and you know I don't think anyone's getting near [Music] it 15 T I would go out wider but stand in a little closer and just try to use his pace and just block it chip it back or block block that's a real short swing cuz where she's standing now he's going to go short out wide to me they went after it down the middle they need this point badly now now she's got a chance I you know see if he goes big with the second o she had a play on [Applause] that that's where you go I would have made that b don't worry about it but remember that Lefty serve it's just coming right into your body it's just totally different than a right-handed like that it's a pretty good seconding the one hander that's why pass is dropped out of the top 10 that back there it's driving him nuts and it's causing problems especially on the return or just in general return the return is one the second the slice is just you know it doesn't hit with authority enough and it's a problem it's amazing he hasn't you know worked to figure that out come from behind and get the old one all here one [Music] game paa serve chy well this is the shot that really affected her back when she was having problems nice just a bit long 15 left didn't hold back she's getting that knee bend very well in the C just loading up [Applause] almost got that one what do you think about sas's mental toughness the Killer Instinct do you think that there that would be lacking a little bit well I take just given the fact that he's been in the you know he's two sets to love up against Novak and the French um but that's noack jok ofit you're playing so um was he not mentally tough enough or is this guy the greatest ever you know are both loses major finals to joish not the easiest guy to have to overcome you know he's had some great results most players would be he's five years in a row he was top eight in the world you know so I think mentally he's pretty tough he deals with a lot of stuff with his father you know there's all that stuff going on all the time I mean in a way he allows it to happen so so you're saying it comes down it might come down to the physical the tools I think that would be more you know what I and that gets in his head yeah his forehand is money I mean he's got one of the best forehand in the game and he's one of the fittest guys in the game rarely have I seen him Tire see if he hires someone again you know try to coach him W poo all over the place misses that one she had a great little pickup I don't know if might be getting to Coco at the [Applause] net these hands are quick the preparation getting ready for the ball short swing tough oh that was the right place though huh she had plenty of room up the line now the decisive [Applause] Point must be interesting to see what sty Cy pass does here Shelton comes forward bouncing around she bet it right into the Wheelhouse there and that's the game so an opening opportunity for GF and Shelton but not a good enough return still on serve here semi-final number two Amanda and N Sova and Taylor Fritz a waiting the winners for $250,000 purse so you got a second serve your coco5 and you're thinking is he going to poach that's what you're you know what do I do he probably going to come to my back end but either way you got to sort of think I'm what if he she goes to my for I'm going to do this back end do that no hesitation you don't want to necessarily wait and try to see out of the corner of your eye is he moving which I think is what she did so you had a clear Plan before if you receiving you tried to have a plan have the clear plan hit your shot cuz you know she's staying back time so even if he poaches Ben well if Ben's at net then you you know if you get it low he won't be able to put it away so you know those are the things going through your mind we see Coco serve here Chrissy for the first time ouch and that back in turn yeah inside nightmare right to the body too yeah he seems to miss that one more than when he run it's an 8 m hour second serve coming you know just didn't get out of the way of the ball a little slow with the feet he's got big take backs on his shot You' think he might try to just tighten that up a great [Applause] serve these two have grown up together they they're good friends they they seem to have a lot of fun when they're playing by far the youngest team of the four sass really struggling John in this quarter he really is they were talking all week about how fast Cincinnati was and I'd like to know what the players are saying about is it comparable here or it looks fairly quick it doesn't look super quick look sort of medium I think Taylor Fritz earlier said it seemed a little slower than Cincinnati nice cool temperature is that going to be a scorcher if the forecast hands out in the week one of the open two more days left in qualifying very mild for New York standards Oh shot good shot by Bosa I think as a woman you have to try to go down the line into the alleys as much as you can I think the guys are always looking to poach and like John said you have to make a commitment even before you hit the shot where you're going to hit it like right now yeah okay if this goes to my back hand it's going right down the line oh he got it up high Shelton four hands are a little different though right John yeah you know you you know you could have held that a split second longer and just star inside out but she she hit that pretty well though I got to say that was like that that would have been a carry in the old days you know stayed on the racket like a double hit almost but it's legal now don't tell poor Felix o Alias that happened I mean wow that was pretty pretty harsh [Music] not saying he definitely would have won cuz Jack Draper was serving for it it was 5-4 match point that was a second match point I believe or a third but that second and then that would have been Deuce but still should have been dece well hit the racket then the court went over chire just missed it but she was smart to come in though yeah why can't they go to uh the replay on that on that situation not part of the rules pora Messi Messi here it is though here it will be what on 8 courts but they that's notable no no that that is true I think cuz that was last year when they doing that I think they're doing it on for a double hit like that for that kind of no replay we going to have to check into that when we get to ESPN 2 and ESPN one and ABC I mean some you almost never see it it's it's so rare that yeah that it happens you know once a tournament or something twice Willie serving volley on the second serve not now cuz she's that's a good serve that's a good oh bad luck and net Court hops over Coco's Racket and the hold for and three2 Lead here let's go to James all right guys so far looking pretty good with the start communication's good any any stress in the in the relationship here so far we're doing good no it's working really well he's serving amazing he's carrying my the double so um it's pretty good for the moment so he's listening to you right okay okay so you you get credit for that how do you feel is this fun playing together well I guess I'm happy to hear that I'm carrying the boats well uh it's fun absolutely uh we're having a great time I I'm just hoping to keep on having the same fun you know it's it's all about that we're creating some good memories out here and uh the fact that we're able to both push each other and uh create some nice shots I mean I mean we've had some good Ries so far so it's been absolute uh blast so far we're hoping to continue in that that way some unbelievable Ries and you almost ended Ben Shelton's tournament really quickly right that was the go no you reacted unbelievable so amazing well good job guys keep it up that been a rough break as a semi-finalist a year ago to have your tournament end in mix Double's exhibition Good Humor out here both teams enjoying themselves but it will get a little more serious as we get deeper in the set second service game Ben Shelton 15 he's got a great overhead and he hits it hard and he enjoys it exactly have you hit against him no don't think that would be a good idea at this point was not holding back and that serve to Bosa that kick he's got that kick there too right on the line so tough is he playing labor cup he is good yeah that's not something PA sees a lot in her day job to kick her like that she still got her racket on it which is good ball that's a nice sh string volley by Shelton well there is some pressure taken off if both people are back you don't have to be as precise he's get to hit a wide serve tol just beaten for power there hold it love three a piece three GES on fans really enjoy it when a player shows them how much they enjoy their job and appreciate their time on Court and Ben certainly does that consistent receiver Ben has been the problem John as you know so the decision making the shot selection and the big moments just the small margins that decide matches sometimes he really really goes for it some people would like to see maybe a slightly more measured amount of aggression that's part of what makes him dangerous so I think he's making progress but he's got to continue to sort of tighten up a couple technical things but he's got everything he works really hard he's a great athlete he's a great kid he's got personality he's got some serious game I mean this is the type of guy we we we'd love to see in one couple 10 15 he's got a high ceiling doesn't he he does he still can improve even even the return is serve you heard Andre say he's hopeful one of these guys from the US who's ranked in the top 20 can break through and the drought it's it's now 21 years since the last US male major winner look out oh boy going after him oh you can't apologize when you clearly lined it up he set himself up I mean what do you mean sorry could hit it anywhere look at this what was that uh can we Replay that we're not seeing where exactly he did what you asked he hit him in the foot yeah exactly I mean I have no problem with the foot deserve deserve to stom it down I have no problem with that that's a heck of a a reserve right there want to riew the call on the right Baseline is this a CH is a challenge yes is this a challenge system or is it oh to review okay do you want to see a ball that's they're going to it's going to out okay that part I don't get that's good over satisfying smash [Applause] for team of B and C pass back on top no breaks of serve so far in this again they're just playing one set six all a regular tie [Music] break competitive match than our first semi yeah I say I feel like the standard is better this match a little bit better doubles playing you've got four players on this court who know have that instinct who know how to play good doubles who have good volleys Brad Gilbert Co coach watching not in the traditional player box they see him down their side to the kind of directly cross from where sitas and Bosa are sitting right of your screen I don't think he spent a lot of time with the game plan before this match you know why are you doing this Coco you need to focus on this he's checking on her surf is what he's doing the want to keep an eye on it in this game wants to keep an eye on her surf because that's uh going to be the key point for her to win this title as well couple of doubles now I just think sometimes she doesn't throw her toss up high enough you know she rushes a little bit too much and I I know Brad feels that way it's better 15 fast doesn't she you know I think especially uh at this particular event um not a lot of physical strain I would say you know keep it going she's not going to get any time delay warnings in her matches now he's right at Sheldon forehand pick a spot down the line wide lob but do not hit down the [Applause] middle you go you go up the middle when they're both in net cuz they haven't practiced much together but otherwise no reason she went after that return great return she's got great control on on her ground strokes very solid very much like Pula Jessica Pula has also been doing very well lately biggest point of this set so far right here no way have scoring but that wide serve you know that's called that onun the face for the guy you know got burned on the 88 mph wide serve little flat footed there smile from it's like nice going had some Slice on it don't say that for they should have played the ls too to you know throw that wrench in there why not would have shortened the matches a little bit too what yeah maybe you should do that tomorrow when you're carrying jokovic in your doubles match don't worry you know pretty cool though you you and Novak I thought it was me and um me and Carlos have they switched did you hear was me and no deciding point I did hear but I I'm going to prer to you you know I don't wait who's the who's the fourth uh alarz me and Andre oh Andre it's the only thing we're pretty sure it's not me and [Applause] Andre big Point here this the decisive point in the game great sir wow how about that huge drawer from her partner as coko comes up with her second face and closes the game out well that was huge cuz 6y pass was serving so I mean you lose that point and 6y pass serves for the match said four all the things you can do in a relaxed State though right two slicing serves at Big moments in that last game oh c for that don't get hurt he's going to get hurt now that was a nice effort 15 left wow well fortunately he was well he was fortunately he wasn't looking at the ball he was looking to make sure he didn't hurt himself [Applause] oh what a point by CTI pass all over the [Applause] place got a lot of good athletes on this court look at the mobility all four of them [Applause] can tell the intensity is up a little bit 10 15 this becomes tense moment now for sit lose serve here and Shelton serves for it I just find it amazing watching this that the guy is serving to the girl and staying back on the second serve not even coming in that who would have thought oh I hit the tape and threw off Koko's timing Koko was daring him wasn't she she wanted to win that [Applause] point now is the winning team going to stay out here or is the uh wait let's hope so well know touche game but it might be an advantage that warmed up the other teams cooled off 54 we will soon find out Shelton will serve to stay in it and let's hear from them with Clair all right you two this has been a really tight set so far Ben what do you guys need to do to close this out here I'm tired um as long as I just keep the electrolytes and keep my energy I think we have a chance um you know I think it's all about surviving Advance at this point so we're going to do our best dig deep here and see what happens but I'm confident Coco you played some pretty huge matches on this court does that help in tight moments like this I mean it's relaxed out here but we obviously want to win um yeah I got to do better on those rallies man I know I can get stuff in them at least in the one of the two that I lost and can you tell your partner here not to take his life into his own hands by jumping into the stands over there actually got really scared CU I was like it's not that serious man but you know I appreciate the commitment all right best of luck you guys guys having fun Shelton a grueling 28 minutes John he's just trying to refuel and dig deep here for the home stretch of the set yes uh there was a sense of humor that was coming through that uh we appreciated up here the serve has been pretty tough to handle harder [Applause] good [Applause] oh oh what a point that's the hardest hitting we've seen tonight that was all Paul Bosa there smon who was taking some huge cuts rips it way long it sure was that's a pretty hard oh what about this shot right here right there that's the one yeah now will he go wide for the first time not yet still a great return though he goes body DOA gets it back love 30 two points from the win love 30's the love couple a love couple Love Point from the win oh he doesn't want to hit a back in oh he got it what a smack that's a great overhead it was great overhead desperately needed Point too it love 30 15 30 I always say to the kids at my Academy when you're throwing up lobs you the warm up and you're hit you want to hit the Deep cuz that's the shot that's going to make the difference that one was pretty going to be close to the base line oh no he missed it that one match points three of them now and he never misses an overhead and he missed it whoops did I say that oh look they're all coming down with the balls they sense they sense it's over vultures I just was saw out of the corner my eyes a lot don't call these kids vultures Chris how rude man oh man I just meant they're circling John they sense the kill here I'm not even going to say who you sound like right now that's it oh yeah what a terrific last game great defensive play in that game from ad doen sitti pass and they knock off the American team well the love birds look good that last couple Gam I'll tell you that i' consider that a little bit of an upset would you I think that was a minor upset well done but DOA had the shot of the match that stabed save that won the first point that was huge then she that return that she somehow got over the net deep and Ben missed it you thought the only break of the set would be the break of Shelton serve would seemed unlikely before that's true so get Blair's thoughts as she talks to coko and Ben guys I know that didn't end quite the way that you would hoped but Ben this has been a long time coming you finally get to play mix with Coco how much fun was that yeah I'd say that uh the way that she's performing at Grand Slams this is probably the only time that we're going to get play mixles together so uh it was definitely a lot of fun Olympics La also possibility USA um but yeah I felt bad that I couldn't give more to the team tonight I thought she played unbelievable and uh I'm going to go back reflect on this match think about myself and try to improve when it comes to the singles in this tournament so I apologize to Coco but a lot of fun being out here and coko a very important very serious question for you you two have done Escape rooms together is then better in an escape room or on a tennis court um it's like hit or miss you know in the escape room so uh I would say on the tennis court but on the escape room he's pretty solid um you know today we we both could have did better but it is what it is I'm glad I got to play with you guys on Au thr as well I have a feeling we're going to see a lot more of you two on this court we're going to send it over to James all right guys congratulations first of all look like you guys are having a lot of fun out here but I really want to know does this count as date night kind of I mean yeah like a tennis date night I would call it um mix doubles action on AR Rush it's uh it's probably one of the coolest uh date nights that I could have asked for and and how did Stephanos do except one point with the communication the rest was amazing okay that's pretty good that's a pretty good grade and now do you guys have a plan for in next match you're playing for $250,000 is there anything special you guys are think thinking about buying with that kind of money oh wow yeah we haven't talked about it uh well I guess a nice vacation somewhere few vacations somewhere few vacations all right well congratulations and good luck in the finals guys congratul St in a date night here at Arthur stadium in front of 10 12,000 people but it was a successful one Bosa really did step up there
