We are in the Cadillac studio. Again, Escalade IQ,
Mike. It has AKG system. Studio reference. AKG, studio reference.
Dolby Atmos.
Dolby Atmos. So the cabin is not just where we're making the show. It is part of the listening experience.
What else?
That's it. That's
all I have. We did the doors. We did the doors. Soft close doors. Did we do the moonroof? We did the moonroof. We did the speakers. We did all the zones. We did the three climate zones all the way through the rows. Rob's getting a massage.
Oh, custom LED
lighting that you can actually change. Yeah.
You can go ambient lighting. Oh. And then look at this. Boom. Look at that change blue. Pretty sick.
I
think
there is more. Pretty
sick. Look, it's blue for US Open.
Zverev hatching off. Pretty much kind of what we thought. Zverev's playing great now. Like, he started off average for this tournament. There just wasn't enough consistency from Hatchinov getting what he wanted. There were bits and pieces. Zverev does a really good job of, like, my base setting is where I kind of drift behind the baseline, control the middle, hit through the court, make you attack from, you know, weird different positions. But, like, he just gets so many easy points, 139, and then runs 117. You know, the serve is just kind of constant pressure. And he got out of it in the third set. He was down 5-2 in that breaker. So, listen, we didn't know if he was going to be able to stand anymore after his first two rounds.
And now he's cruising. You know, he's won a bunch of sets in a row. Third slam final. In a row.
In a row.
In a row.
It's great. Six overall in his career. He actually did say afterwards in the encore presser, he said that after the second round at 3 a.m. that he was sitting with his team in the locker room, and they were actually just laughing their asses off, as he said, of how bad he was playing, and it was the sense of humor that helped him the next day. You know, how important is it, you know, with him heading into this, right? It seems like he's knocked off whatever the cobwebs are or whatever it was in those first couple rounds. You know, he seems to be – Riding a lot of momentum.
Yeah, I mean, I think more than anything, as we've talked about this, he's a realist. You know, it's like he wins the second round. He's not going to sit there and say, that was great. There was no luck involved. I mean, Sonago had him up against it, you know, out of the gates. Two points away from losing that match, and now he's in the final.
That's
crazy. You know, so...
How did Alexander Zverev dominate Karen Khachanov and why is his ball‑bouncing controversial?
You know what's in there. You just got to give yourself enough time to find it. What did Hatchinov say in the post-match
presser? Oh, man. So Hatchinov is clearly very annoyed about something that Zverev was doing. He says, the way he bounces the ball, look, it's annoying not only to me but, of course, a lot of players because it takes so much time. You don't know how to prepare for the serve. You're ready. Then it's another 12 bounces. Every point is like that. If it's within the rules regarding the time, I cannot say anything against that because it's the rules.
Yeah, the rules should change. As long as he's doing it within the 24-second shot clock, what are you going to say? There needs to be a shot clock for the second serve.
Okay, yeah.
You cannot bounce the ball 20-something times between first and second serve.
Yeah.
Like, you cannot do it and then act shocked when we finish at three in the morning. Like, we just can't do
it. Yeah, there was like a stat circulating that people were attributing to ESPN and some others, but said that he's bounced the ball over 12,000 times.
Yeah.
And that was before today's match. So, I mean, judging on the fact that we counted 15 to 20 times per serve, you know,
