Speaking of balls and serving. Damn, damn, damn. I thought you thought you were going. It was a big day yesterday for black folks in black America.
We keep this thing black. I was watching that whole thing. Well, your tweet, B. I think that really kind of summed up what it felt like.
This was probably probably two. We all going to watch Coco trying to win the first Grand Slam title as a family. It felt like this family event that was going on. You might want to see the black unity.
Look at him. Look at him. This is my last arena. Oh my god.
So anyway, so yeah, that's what it felt like. And I'm with you. It was a big moment yesterday. And then of course, here's the winning shot that sealed it for us.
I scared my fiance so bad when I got started screaming. She was like, oh my god, you scared me. That's what happened in my house. Bruh.
And I was like, come on, get her. I like, you body get her. I like, make her work. And then when she hit the alley, oh, she got her.
And I yell. I yell right there in that moment. That was like, oh my god, what's happening? I'm like, I'm watching the match.
Yeah, that was a winner in her dad, though. Oh, that was great. That was great. That was great.
That was really great. And I said, damn, at least open, which is in New York, as always, always for Grand Slam tournaments every day. Did you be your bad? Yeah.
I don't know. It turned out that way. It turned out that way. It didn't at first.
Yeah, it didn't at first. And then she smoked her. Smoked it. Smoked.
So yeah, I went to because more of it was like, yo, we got to watch like Coco try to win. And I was like, I'm a genius. Yeah. Every time I try to watch them do something, when I watch Serena, I watch Selena, Serena, Laus, and something to have a Coke.
Every time I watch it, yeah. I was like, I'm out. I said, if I watch, she's going to lose. And I was like, damn, I was like, damn, I said, see, she lost the first set.
She was like, I was like, I'm good. So I was watching a foundation. I was in the house, but she was in there watching me. And I heard all the yelling and screaming, she was like this.
When she started locking in. And all of her was, oh, she figured it out now. And it was so magical to see. I was like, oh man, she really did figure it out.
I was really scared at that first set. I'm like, come on, Coco. I'm still watching, but I ain't going to leave. So I'm going to have to rely on you because I'm going to go back and rewatch it because I'm sure we're going to cover Tuesday on Denon Sports at 9PM.
She got to an end to hear Shelton, Nick, FIFA, and spikes opinions on her winning. But what was said by the announcers was that Sabalinka plays only one way. So because of that, and she isn't able to adjust, that's how, once she figured it out, she was able to kind of take. Yeah, yeah, because when I looked at the third set, she was up four.
Oh, and her face was different. She figured her out. Like that first set. So you could see it.
And you could see her face. I saw it. Like, just watching this live, I was like, oh my god. I said, yeah, she up like she.
I was telling my friends, I was like, she figured it out. And then like, coming in later, I think that now that something, something she's figured it out, yeah, she got it. She got it. Y'all watch it together?
Yeah, I couldn't do it, man. I couldn't do it, man. It was real loud. And then it got real quiet.
I was like, see, I knew it. And then I heard, because I think she got nervous too. And then I heard some picking up talking a little bit more. And then just like probably what you did, all of her was this eruption.
Just like. Yeah, when we got home from after the shoot, we was watching like the last quarter of the Colorado gang. So then I was looking to see what else about it. Come on.
She wanted to go out and do the straw stuff. No, no, no, no. I said, Coco coming on at four o'clock. You got to watch this.
Or whatever. She like, what? I'm like, sit here. We bought to watch this match.
So yeah, I watched that thing from the beginning to the end. I texted my sister, I was texting to the other guy. I'm like, you watching this? Yes, I'm watching it.
I'm watching it. I'm watching it too. Like, yeah, man. That's a family, bro.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm in laws and my wife's been with her big in attendance. You know, I remember I was there. Yeah, I only watched the grasslands.
Like I watch anything in between. They watch every fucking thing. Yeah, I don't do that. I just watch all the open fridge open.
When would it end in the US open? That's all I watch. Yeah, because I had the boy where I was taking attendance for a while. I was taking attendance for all this pre-pandemic.
And I haven't picked it up, but it's an interesting sport. I definitely want to pick it up again. But yeah, so I knew they were all watching and chatting back and forth. But I was like, if I watch it, I still feel believe that if I watch this, she would have lost.
So I'm just happy that she pulled it out. Man, it's a pattern, bro. It's a trend. It was dope seeing the crowd so pro Coco.
It was dope. Everybody was there. Everybody was there. Everybody was there.
Like, is she going to do it? I think she's still taking it. She said she's playing it on the back. Yeah, I mean, it was very much, I think your tweet really summed it up.
And that's why I wanted to showcase it because it was the talk at the time. I was really, really proud of her and happy for her and, you know, of course, us as a people. And I just love how even everybody, whether you're black or not, was really supporting and throwing everything behind her. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She really had, I wish I would have actually sent this clip, but she really had a really good statement when she was giving her speech when she called out the haters. And she was like, you know, thanks to you guys because you guys really kind of gave me the fuel that I needed and you guys didn't make me worse. You guys made me better. And I thought that was a really dope statement.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because before the match, I read an interview, I think it was on ESPN where she was talking about her mindset and she was like, when she lost the last time, I watched out. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
That would be. She was critiquing. She got to get some things better and stuff. Yeah.
And she was talking about like the moment was, I guess the easiest way to say it was that it was too big for her. Yeah. And she was getting her head a lot when she was a set or lose a point. She would like start just putting a lot of pressure on her and she said she spent all that time really working on her mental game, her mental part of the game and just having that resolve.
And when I saw she was down since two, I was like, damn, I wish that would have came out after the interview because now she don't put this out here. She's on a big stage again and she just got Molly Wop, like destroyed in the first set against the person at one last time. So what the portrait is that she said it and you got a chance to see it on display when she overcame that and really settled in. That she was magical, bro.
Yeah. That's why I was asking you about like when you saw the click over instead of getting down on herself. She kind of locked in and focused. Yeah.
Yeah. That's so dope. And I want to say she I think I want to say Serena was 19 or 17. Okay.
Damn. She was 17 when she first went in and fucking say it was a 99. Yeah. I was 17.
Bro. I was like, yeah, I was 17. Bro. I was like, yeah, I was 17.
I was like, yeah, I was 17. Yeah. I got 17. Can you imagine?
Like really think about 17 year old whooping up on grownups. Yes. That was around the time a little bit before when Tiger got them first. So like that shit.
Yeah. Tennis and golf was his black folks was all into this and this was the fear that fans, you know, had about Serena because now here comes this other person where as an animal, like said, this was like, she's not the next Serena. She's Coco. Yeah.
Let's not make her like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I know. I know. I know. I know.
Y'all know, but I already feel the dumbasses typing. Of course. I was joking. I don't want to hear it.
I think what she said that because I was making those sort of comparisons black, like it's very like linear. So very basic. But I was like, damn, you know what, you kind of write because she is definitely of that tree and she was inspired by her. I don't know if you saw the video when she was eight years old dancing.
Yeah. So she was definitely inspired and this is kind of the fear of Tiger and Serena is like, now you aspire people to kind of like, oh shit, we can do that too. So here come Coco. Who knows who Coco is going to inspire?
That's going to come behind her. Right. And then between that, we had a Madison Key. And the Key.
Yeah. Naomi. Yeah. Slones Stevens.
I don't know. What did she win? I don't know. It was a grand slam.
I want to say it was. I can't remember exactly what it was. I'm going to miss you. So we've had others, but you know, now here comes possibly a new like wave behind them.
And yeah, I think it's dope, man. And you know, we'll see where it goes from here. But yeah, definitely inspiring. Last thing I was saying, and I'll probably get into detail, but Saba Link was salty, bro.
Did you hear what she said? I got to go back and later on. I got to hear her. I was difficult.
She said she's going to fire her team. And she said when people was cheering for her while she was giving her losing a seppas beat. Oh, I saw that. Yeah, she was like this, the white chick.
What was she upset about? She was lost. But she was also said that there, weren't she or her. There was a clear favorite by the crowd.
The crowd was definitely coconut understanding. Oh, I did too. But still, no. I don't care.
I was pro cocoa big time, right? Yeah. Most of the time, when they do that, they don't tend to kinda call that out. They tend to kinda roll with it.
But she was like, no, she was probably hurt. It was definitely hard. On her own court? But she's rushing too.
I don't know if she's a Australian. Australian. Oh, Australia. I don't know if she's a coconut.
I Realize you she's from here, too. Yep. I can imagine campus. Congratulations.
You know, I was from Atlanta Yeah, she's from Atlanta Stu presidente the guy barstool has I don't know what anger. Yeah, it was messed up when he said something about her signing a Deferate yeah, I know I saw it, but yeah, but yeah, I want to focus on that like the positive thing and you know So yeah, I thought it was dope man And you know she came on scene like a couple years ago and people just fell in love with her And she's good But yeah last thing I say before we move on to I think you said you guys over right but uh, but yeah the the The father moment and she called that It's the first time seeing my dad cry And I know you know, he's trying to act like he all get it. Yeah, man. I'll tell you that was one of my kids bro I'll probably be crying be Right now, but like the moment when he embraced I thought that was so dope He was crying crying I don't know I'm just curious I feel like they would have been I feel like you know what she says she caught her brother Right, you're right.
I think I see it's on the wish she laughed because he's a he didn't pick up and he called her back It's too late bro like I'm
