What's happening, BG, Brad Gilbert here in the desert for The BIG T? Carson Hinn, this is your day two.

Carson Branstine (0:49)

It's my day two.

Brad Gilbert (0:50)

Sweet Wilson jacket, by the way.

Carson Branstine (0:52)

Very much, shout out to Wilson with the drip.

Brad Gilbert (0:55)

I know Those are. a lot of old school sticks. I played with the end code way back in the day.

Carson Branstine (1:00)

There you go.

Brad Gilbert (1:01)

Now, rumor has it you were out touring the grounds today. Did you find anything good to eat? Did you go to the serve clock? Did you do anything?

Carson Branstine (1:11)

I had a few things. I tried a lot of the food. I'm a big food girl.

Brad Gilbert (1:15)

You're a foodie.

Carson Branstine (1:15)

I am a foodie. But I did hear that you like sushi as well and we have Nobu.

So I thought we should get some Nobu for dinner. So why not have a big tea of sushi?

Brad Gilbert (1:29)

Wow. We've got a little Nobu right there. You know, because they probably charge a little bit extra. So did you get to eat lunch there as well?

Carson Branstine (1:37)

I did.

Luckily, it was not on my dime. So I have no idea what that was.

Brad Gilbert (1:42)

I'm definitely just going right in.

Andrea Petkovic (1:44)

We can go right into it.

Carson Branstine (1:46)

Let me know. I actually put this together myself. So I'm really proud of it.

How did I do?

Brad Gilbert (1:52)

Very good.

Carson Branstine (1:53)

Oh, I got a high five. Germs.

Brad Gilbert (1:56)

Instantly, I feel like if you eat a little sushi, I'm going to be a break up, especially from Nobu. Every roll there looks like it's decent. Now, did you find the serve radar gun? Did you go out there? Maybe did you crack a serve, like 115?

Carson Branstine (2:10)

You know, I wish I did, but I did not. I was going to go tomorrow, probably.

Brad Gilbert (2:14)

Okay, maybe tomorrow.

Carson Branstine (2:16)

I was busy chowing down.

Brad Gilbert (2:18)

You go undercover, maybe put on a wig, do something like the Chad Powers, like at Penn State on the Manning Bar. You just kind of sneak in and see if you can pop a serve.

Carson Branstine (2:30)

Yeah, I'll tell them it's my first time holding a tennis racket.

Brad Gilbert (2:32)

Yeah. Who is that lady that just crushed a serve? Like, what do you think you can hit top speed?

Carson Branstine (2:39)

I've had a few clocked over 120 Like, I think the fastest one I remember, I missed it. Was that Wimbledon last year? I think it was 126

I missed it long, so it didn't count.

Brad Gilbert (2:48)

No, it's got to be in. But we got to get Producer Carey to work you, to go over there and see if you can break a serve speed record. All right, we had a couple of interesting matches today and a lot to play for. Yes. The first match, Coco Gauff, needed to win, and then she needed help from Noskova to win, so Pegula wouldn't be two and one, and then she would be out, and made a huge comeback in the second set, down five-one in the second. Each player had taken an injury timeout, it looked like that second set was over, then somehow Coco turned that thing around and wins six games on a trot to make Marta go 0-3 in her championship debut, even though she was an alternate, but she got in, but that had to hurt.

Carson Branstine (3:39)

Totally, and I think Marta's wrist was bothering her a little bit based on the way that she was hitting the ball and Coco at the back. And I just thought these matches have been roller coasters every single day. Huh? But I'm happy for Coco. She got the win and, you know, she's going home, but she gets to finish her season on a high note.

Brad Gilbert (3:56)

You know, one thing I've learned the last few days, no lead is safe.

But interesting that all three players were two and one. It goes by sets. It doesn't go by head to head, because everyone thinks that Coco should have gotten in because she beaten Pegula. But obviously, in a three way, it kind of circumnavigates the head to head, and it goes by sets, one and loss percentage. And actually, if it's tied on sets, you know, it goes down to games.
