**Mike** (1:29)
We're in it.

**Andy Roddick** (1:30)
Inside of an Escalade IQ. Mike.

**Mike** (1:34)
I know. Andy, have you ever heard Dolby Atmos sound?

**Andy Roddick** (1:37)
Not like inside of this vehicle.

**Mike** (1:39)
Well, exactly, right? Because Dolby Atmos sound creates a sound that feels like it has more space and dimension around you. And guess what? In this Escalade IQ, as I'm sure you know at this point, that sound is delivered through an AKG Studio Reference System.

**Andy Roddick** (1:55)
Yeah.

**Mike** (1:56)
A system that is as flawless in its execution as when Carlos Alcaraz was today.

**Andy Roddick** (2:02)
I like what you did.

**Mike** (2:02)
You see that?

**SPEAKER_1** (2:03)
Yeah. I teed you right up.

**Andy Roddick** (2:05)
You're good.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:07)
You're good.

**Andy Roddick** (2:09)
Sabalenka rolls through Taylor Townsend. We knew that was going to be tough. Taylor needs time on the ball to manipulate it, hit those chips. Sabalenka just went right through her.
I guess as low as expectations can be for her coming into a tournament, she can just flip them right around. We're like, oh, she's playing fine. She hasn't lost a set. Everyone, hello.

**Mike** (2:30)
I mean, it's ridiculous. Eleven breaks of Serb in 19 games.

**Andy Roddick** (2:35)
Yeah, she's playing great. Nausicaa beats Kostiuk for the second straight slam.
Kostiuk saved five match points.
Nausicaa with one on the six. Do you remember the last time that she blew five match points and then won in three sets? No. The Wimbledon final. She is the Wimbledon champion. Has not played great since Wimbledon and yet here she is again, beating Marta Kostiuk. Pegula ran right through Kristea in what could be Kristea's last Grand Slam match. You still calling Yahtzee?

**Mike** (3:08)
I mean, it's just tough, man. Like it's tough. She's been playing so great.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:12)
I know.

**Mike** (3:13)
But we'll see.

**Andy Roddick** (3:14)
Listen, the only way that I would turn this right around is if she was at a career high. Is that okay?

**SPEAKER_5** (3:19)
Yeah. Yeah.

**Andy Roddick** (3:19)
Good.
Emma Navarro is currently on court with Kalinskaya. Two all in the first set. Let's give Alex Michelsen some props. I mean, he hasn't lost a set.

**Mike** (3:34)
He's rolling.

**Andy Roddick** (3:36)
He is playing great.
An adjustment that I've seen is I've seen him in the past on the forehand side, backhand is pure like he said on our show. I go, what about backhand? He goes, oh, it's pure.

**Mike** (3:47)
Yeah, from his childhood bedroom.

**Andy Roddick** (3:49)
He did a certain episode. I was like, are you in a kid's bedroom? He's like, yeah, it's my bedroom.
I'm staying at my parents' house.

**Mike** (3:56)
He had participation ribbons in the back that we used to have. He might have a different trophy in there soon.

**Andy Roddick** (4:01)
It was great. I've seen him try to force forehands before, where he's trying to hit winners.
He is so consistently just getting into the net and using his forehand as an approach shot. Like you can tell he's making his mind up before he even hits it, that he's going to hit it and run any volleys really well, beat Echeverry today.

**Mike** (4:18)
Did you see this thing? He joins you, Andre, Pete and Fritz as Americans to reach the quarterfinal without dropping a set. Oh, you know, I mean, what is it like to go on a heater like that? And like, feel that, especially through the first week.
