This is a fantastic idea to get the public involved and offer them a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I would absolutely love to see this return as an annual event. Congrats to Paul on his efforts as the best amateur player. And for Omar Jasika, would his match-up in the final be the most expensive point in tennis?
Rublev was clearly gonna deliberately serve a fault to help the girl get through to the next round but she elected to serve and then faulted herself haha Then in the next round Hon nearly elected to serve again against him!
@@johncharles2357 It's very clearly IN. The whole ball has to be out including the felt. Frame rate is too slow to show it in, but it definitely is in by the rules of tennis. If one person on youtube argues with you that it's in, it's in. I've umpired tennis before and took classes, as well as played around with Hawkeye in its early days. The angle is very poor to have any opinion without this experience, and when serves are 130+ even 60fps isn't enough, which is about what the human eye see at in real life, which is why there are so many arguments. Close shots are basically impossible to know without high speed cameras. This one isn't particularly close, but what gets me are the calls on clay. A mark outside the line does not mean it's out. Effectively on clay the court is about 6 inches smaller, which is a very big deal, and why moonballing is such an effective strategy. Less marks out, more balls in. Nadal would be GOAT if the lines were 6 inches smaller on hard courts.
prsicilla hon was a real karen, she was plyinmg aginst a sixtysomething man and she chose the side which ws ofc the weaker side of Fitzgerald, she didnt want to get out and she wasnt confident about herself that she could return this, not a sports(wo)man conduct
I have to agree, point against Fitzgerald was also delayed enough to disturb him. It surely was not from an overly competitve approach from Hon but rather to satirize the lack of it. It is arguable that houmor can be applied in a setting like this even against a respected old played but I will personally remember her decision to apply it. Fitzgerald would have won if let to just serve on his side uninterupted.
@@JAM-fm8lt Equal pay has nothing to do with merit, it should be an equal slice of the pie(Revenue) their tour creates. If Tour A creates 500 million while tour B creates 100 million players from tour B do not deserve as much as players from Tour A.
@garettmatheis933 Your answer just confirmed equal pay should be based on merit. Tour A can only bring 500M if the product or players are good enough for the audience to part with 500M. Regardless of gender audience are only attracted to best product or best players in tennis which are male players. The audience, whether it's male or female in tennis, rarely watch female players . WTA is lucky that they are tied up with ATP in GS. Otherwise, not many will be watching. Same way in modelling, the audience is there to watch female models, hence they get paid more than their male counterparts, which no one has any issue with, and rightly so.
This concept was super fun, hope to see it again next year!
Whoever came up with this idea he/she earned my respect, such creativity, briliant!
they
them
It
51:58 Point of the tournament
Point of the tournament was the Fitzgerald serve ace down the T.
nah bro not even close
you mean match of the tournament
Fitzgerald, Djokovic, people try to compare them, just enjoy 'em man
Fitzgerald is a legend. My MVP
GOAT
This competition should be before every Slam/1000 event - Great fun and opportunity to involve the fans! I really enjoyed watching it.
Fitzgerald the goat
GOAT
57:27 he took one for us! Man of honor.
lol very entertaining. I didnt think i'd watch this complete but I did.
Andrey looks so happy
14:09 action starts here

Didnt expect Andrey would make the first round, congrats!
great idea, very enjoyable to watch but AO really should of got someone to edit this would be fantastic without all the fluff between matches
Omar was playing like a casual hitting partner in the final, he only decided to pull the trigger on the very final shot 😂
this is such a cool concept, i hope other slams incorporate things like this into their show
Why does this have so little attention, it's such a cool thing!!!
this was amazing! hope to see it at other grand slams!
Need Fitzgerald on the Aussie Davis cup team
Rublev was clearly gonna deliberately serve a fault to help the girl get through to the next round but she elected to serve and then faulted herself haha
Then in the next round Hon nearly elected to serve again against him!
51:51 that point was absolutely amazing!
For 60 Gee's I would have gone there too!
😊
27:00 i didnt know that Pedro Pascal plays tennis.
Seyboth Wild is adorable
Amazing idea!! If you edit this video down to like 20 minutes it would pop off even more
How was Hurkacz Number 1 seed? Rublev is higher?
Great fun, idea for next year is to maybe have it player coaches vs audience members
Nelson your amazing
26:19 this was 1000% in .
Looks out if you play it frame by frame
You can't make any judgements from this angle.
They are using the automatic calls, so it probably just barely missed
it’s automatic, someone isn’t calling out hahah
This is fantastic
Nice moustache on Seyboth 👍
1:08:42 Mr Beast
WHAT?! No Hawkeye - that ball clearly hit that baseline.... Hampson got robbed!
Great fun!
Even here on this lovely friendly event, they didn’t put a flag next to Andrey’s name. What a shame 🤦🏻♀️
26:35 wasn't out??
no, ditto on line
No why
It was out. You can see it better if you play it frame by frame.

@@qwaszx2 No one cares what you have done, they have line detection it was out.
55:55 gotta be intentional fault, right?
Yeah he was gonna do one in the previous round as well but the girl chose to serve! Afterwards Rublev was like "Why did you choose to serve!??"
16:14 quigley looks like blinkova
🙄does there’s really need to be a referee going “game, set, match” every time?
Men have become so kind.
Vivement les 1ers tours
LMAO what an effort by me hahahahah
please add video from ao kids day😢
Very cool❤
2025年第一项大满贯赛事开大了😃
To balance out the advantage of the server, fault should be an instant loss
That’s what it was
@ yes, a double fault. I think a single fault should be instant loss of point
@@leonlin310pros got 1 serve, only amateurs got 2
It's pretty empty
it doesn't seem that much crowned
I will have 60G thanks.
Cut the time spent on interviews and all the other shenanigans and let them play 3 points or whoever gets 2 points first. That would be more fun.
It’s the one point slam

it’s never that deep
Not that deep.

And women players want equal pay. The dude couldn't have hit the ball any slower in the final and won easily.
What does that have to do with equal pay?
Men generally are better than women, it's true. But why does this mean they can't have equal pay?
@johncharles2357 Equal pay should be based on merit, not because of one gender. It doesn't matter who gets more, but who deserves more.
@@JAM-fm8lt It is based on merit. The farther you go in tournaments, the more money you make.
