Take one. Well done. Hi, my name is Jasmine Paolini, and I'm a friend of the show. Wow, Jasmine.
Play.
It's nice to get back to the tennis. After a week of things going on off the court, we're now going to focus back on things on the court, as Brenna and I once again, cast our eye on the upper echelons of men's tennis, and bring ourselves to, now let down sort of to 10 likely contenders. But it's also kind of, should be a little bit more objective than that, other than not that you sneakily fancy a crazy player outside the top 100 to win a few matches. More in that outside of the drawer as well, which of course will be taking place tomorrow, we'll be live on the channel as well. You know, we're going to say like, this guy is number two because of X, Y and Z, and yeah, people will disagree or whatever, but I think we'll all probably have the same number one. But I still think there's a bit to say about that number one, maybe even more so than what happened at the French Open. And, but we're also going to do show our working, in my case in particular, Brennan, we're going to show our working on there, how I've come to that conclusion. Maybe because I haven't even got my, I haven't even got my 10, I'm just like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten down on a piece of paper right now.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:14)
Totally fair.
But I'm not, I'm not far ahead of you, I'll say. I do have a pool of about 15 players.

**John Silk** (2:24)
Okay.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:25)
And yeah, I agree.

**John Silk** (2:27)
I have a pool, off the top of my head, I have a pool of four or five in my head that have to be in there somewhere or another. And then it's like, I don't know who my other sort of five or six will be. So I'm actually just going to spit, I'm just going to say basically, of course the players that will definitely feature somewhere in my 10 will be, I'm sharing, I think I've shown the ATP rankings right now on the screen. Am I doing that? Yes, I am good.
So it will be obviously Yannick Sinner, Karlo Sarkozy without injury would have been very much in my thinking, but he's not. But I'm definitely going to have Sinner somewhere in there, and I think you can probably guess where. I'm definitely having Svetov in the 10
I doubt very much that he'll be at number two, but I need to sort of think about this. I'm pretty sure I'll have Felix and also Shelton in my 10 Now, Demonor is someone with unbelievable pedigree, still inside the top 10, but not having a great year, I don't think. I don't know where he's in the race.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:34)
Do you? I mean, yeah, it's not having the clay season he had in 25
Grass season, more or less the same. You know, he gets to a final, usually gets a title here, whether it's...

**John Silk** (3:51)
Am I going to say, where is he in the race? I'd love to know, actually. I'm going to see it. Just I just feel as though maybe, maybe I'm wrong, but the just felt like 15 ish probably area. Actually, he's a bit higher than that. He's eight. He's eight in the race. So maybe it's my feelings are getting in the way. Flavio Caballi is four in the race. Medvedev is five in the race, which is also somewhat surprising. Especially that I would have thought Shelton might be ahead of both Caballi and Medvedev, bearing in mind he's won three titles.
The top three, Sinas, Vedev and Alcaraz. Not surprising. Alcaraz still featuring there despite his injuries. But yeah, coming back to the rankings, Fritz and Djokovic will be in my 10
