They say you should learn something new every day, like how you should only drink Jägermeister at zero degrees Fahrenheit, ice cold, like those frozen cavemen they find, which makes you wonder, what would a caveman think of Jägermeister? Well, if you served it warm, he'd probably throw it in your face, say, oonga boonga, and storm off, and nobody wants that.
So drink it cold or not at all? Jägermeister, damn, that's cold. Drink responsibly Jägermeister Liqueur 35% Alcohol by Volume, imported by Mast Jägermeister US White Plains, New York.

Spring just hits different, one day, cold mud, the next, warm sunshine. But the hard working men and women in Carhartt don't wait for the forecast to get to work. Patching roads, clearing trails, planting crops.
Their hands turn this season's uncertainty into possibility. So get out there, spring into action. We've got you covered for whatever the season throws your way. Carhartt, made possible.

Hey, everyone, welcome to Served, brought to you by ServiceNow. Subscribe, producer Mike, JW, Techie Shawn in the house. I'm talking so fast because we have a loaded show for you all. Lots, lots, lots. So I'm going full Micro Machines Guy, dated reference.
Something I am excited about, Iva Jovic interview later in the show. Obviously, Phenom, 16 in the world at 18 years old, quarter finalist in Australia.
Recently, semi-finalist in Charleston. She just keeps putting up results. Looking forward to that. I don't know her at all. I think I like her. I think she's awesome. I like the way she plays. Can't wait to hear more about her and her process and everything. If she's anything like the other young WTA stars that we've had on this show, we're good. They're all full adults, 35-year-old adults stuck in 18 years old. They're all just so impressive, from Yala to Mboko, et cetera, et cetera. So can't wait for that. Let's get to the racket rundown, get you updated on what happened around Earth in tennis. Kostiak wins, Rybakina wins a 500 in Stuttgart.
She's in this number one conversation for the year, folks. I'm just telling you, she is firmly... She's not having a lot of off weeks, JW.

**JW** (2:46)
No. And suddenly we talk about the men having one and two that have separated themselves from the field. There are two really, really good players on the women's side who seem to be distancing themselves from the pack. This was indoor clay, right?
So she's getting it done on a variety of surfaces. And yeah, this Rybakina, Sabalenka, look for it on the second Saturday in June as well. This has really become a two person race.

**Andy Roddick** (3:12)
In your estimation, like I know what I think now, but like this consistency over a four or five month period is not something we've seen from Rybakina before. We know what the top shelf looks like. I think anyone with eyeballs can watch her and say, oh, her top level is as good as anyone's. But the difference being she doesn't do it every time out, you know, over the course of a year, six months, whatever it may be.
This feels different than what it's been before with her in, in as far as I can tell.

**JW** (3:43)
Yeah, this was, you know, you go back to the fall, go back to, to Riyadh and the way she really took that match to Sabalenka to win five plus million dollars. And now she has kept it going. And whether we want to correlate this to what seems to be some stability and resolution in her personal life, whether this is just a player who now physically is healthy, there is a level of confidence, there's a level of versatility. She's also, I mean, she hits a huge ball. She's a really fine athlete as well. This is an elite athlete out there.
I think you could make the case, I mean, she's lost the Sunshine Double twice to her rival, to Sabalenka who went on to win the tournament. You could make a case pretty easily. She's having just as good a year as Sabalenka right now.

**Andy Roddick** (4:24)
Yeah, well, I mean, I think the easiest argument would be like, hey, Irina, would you trade in the Sunshine Double for a Grand Slam? Yes.
