"Well, I just think I have a little bit of in defense of why I didn't necessarily have her as one of my 52 aces in 5 matches in Lyon. That is great, but I mean, as we've talked about before, you've got to have a bit more game than that as well. And I think she does definitely have that. But I think the interesting to see how she moves into some of those bigger drawers because quite a lot of her ranking is based on she talked about herself. She's been in the final over 60 K last year now. She's winning at two 50 and she did pick up a couple of those December WTA one two 5s in France as well. So I think it will be interesting to see what she can do, as you say, add a bigger tournament. But her second server kick a second serve is probably one of the best second serves on the tour. So I will give you that Joel. I'm winning over Chris, but it feels like I'm so we've still got to take time. He's not going to take it on. This is just this one tournament. No, and I'd be a lot of parallels for people talking about her and Serena Williams and all of that, but perhaps we shouldn't go to go to mad early on. Yeah, she's won one title. But with an upset in that final, but we don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but you too can continue fighting over the illicit parks hype, maybe going forward to the rest of the season. Let's look at the ATP events from the past week on tour. We have the Dallas open to talk about first of all because and actually Joel and Chris, you mentioned this earlier in relation to whole gurus, comments about serve bots, we had one of those in the Dallas open final. John Isner. And he was up against Wu Yi Bing, who actually managed to beat him, but what was perhaps not so surprising was the fact that it was three tie breaks that with Wu managing to come through to defeat Isner. 6, 7, 7, 6, 7, 6. The last I break was perhaps the most exciting one of all 1412 and four match points saved for Wu. Chris, whoo is now the first Chinese man to ever have won an ATP tour title. Do you think this is a very significant moment for China as a tennis playing nation on the ATP side of events given the result we saw in Dallas? I think it's really significant. I think it's something that's really important for the tour as well. I think obviously the ATP have continued relations with China and there will be tournaments played in China this year and we know that there's been some really big attention for players like Lena in the past when it comes to the women's side of things. So I think there's always been that question as to why there hasn't been a male player from China who's been able to perform like this and having a player who's on the younger end of the spectrum I think is also very exciting and as you said, I'm very always pleased when someone who we would consider to be potentially a serve but gets their comeuppance in a final because you think you have to work that much harder but I don't think John is no, I was quite surprised. I don't think John Isner should be winning titles on the ATP tour I was surprised to see this result personally that he was in the final, but no, it's a breath of fresh air I think a new Titleist from the first time someone's done that I think mighty impressive. So I say woohoo. I like that. Yeah, it's crazy because his ranking was, I think, in the over 1000 last year, he's had a lot of injuries in his career up to date. So I hadn't really played for about three years prior to last year. But Joel, what did you make of whoo? Because he beat Taylor Fritz and Denis Shapovalov earlier on in the tournament. So great, great wins there for him. Yeah, he's had a fantastic week. As you said, he's been, I think, plagued by injuries over the last few years. I watched a clip of him against Nishikori mountain in Asia a few years ago and it's great, I think, to see him now fulfilling on that potential and that promise and yeah, he was he was so good I think in the final game. Another player coming up against a home hope, home resident, I think, in John Isner and although yeah, I was probably a surprise of which America was going to get to the final given we've spoken about how many Americans are in the top 50. I wouldn't have put John is a necessarily at the top of that list, but it just shows, I think, with a big serve, it can still take you places regardless of if you're perceived to be to be getting on a bit, but I think for whoo, this is an incredibly exciting moment and assuming or hoping for his sake that he can keep his he can keep himself healthy. I have no reason to see why he can't continue to go up the rankings because I think he's got a very, very solid game and could be a big moment for Chinese tennis. I mean, they've got Qing Wang Jiang as well on the women's side. So it seems that they've got two great talents coming up in the game that could really shed a more positive light I think on Chinese tennis because I

"Maybe take on a pretty good hit. Maybe no more than a category one if that if you can get that high, but we have to be conscious of what the other effects are not just what's going on here in Columbia. So we were fortunate that we were able to mobilize and get all our team in place. We got a great tremendous staff that can do a lot of things in short order and we were able to have those conversations Monday with the coaches. We made a final decision if I don't decision Tuesday morning at the crack of dawn with duck ram or readers and we move forward and here we are so just should have a nice night for football, a tad breezy, but inside the stadium, maybe not so much wind and a rain free night to play. Yeah, that's fortunate because it works two hours away from you and you look outside and it looks tropical and you feel it. So fortunately you're getting a reasonable night coach these things happen and as you mentioned you've been through them before I'm sure every university including South Carolina has some protocol and I know you describe what you did but is there any is there any true and set protocol when weather is so unpredictable? Well, there is. I mean, we have our emergency emergency management team, but our chief of police on campus Chris whoo since he's outstanding and we're in touch with him every step of the way. He's leaked linked with law enforcement throughout the state and the highway patrol and the governor's office and we correspond with everybody. So we have a protocol of conversation and dialog and make decisions that we think are best for our state, not just the university of South Carolina or football program, but what's best for the state of South Carolina, and I think tonight is a good time to play football. We are out of school tomorrow school has been postponed here due to conditions that may be somewhat difficult, but the storm looks like it's moving fairly fast and could be out of here, but you know, you go back in time and you always go, did you make the right decision? I feel very confident that we did this week based on a situation and hopefully it'll be a fun night for football here in Colombia. And it's of course an important game for South Carolina, but it's also an equally maybe even more important for South Carolina state a rare opportunity to put a spotlight on this program that is so rich in tradition and your state, the coach legendary, how do these games come about because there's so many people are so happy to see you do this. Well, things are changing, as you know, in college football, the evolution is probably at a peak that we've never even thought we would be at. But that being said, you know, I think a lot of us would like to continue to play our state institutions and buddy pew, the celebration bowl champ, South Carolina state, and HBCU just down the road from us. I think it's a great opportunity for their program and for us as well to have this kind of game. And we're looking forward to it. And we hope we can continue to play our end state in state foes outside of Clemson that we're always going to play, but who knows what the future holds. But we think this is important, as well as I know that my colleagues like to play the teams in their states as well. Coach and let's talk for a second before you go about Shane Bieber, they're such excitement for him and for what he is doing. I know the schedule couldn't be any more difficult or couldn't have been any more difficult the last few weeks going on the road and then seeing the number one team in the country, but what is your assessment of a short sample, but last year certainly got everybody fired up. Well, you know, I think that, you know, I know you've made some positive comments about coach being where he's done a heck of a job, but you know, he's a player's coach. He's a fans coach. You know, he's a university's coach. He's just seems to be a great fit for us. And an opportunity to be successful. It's a hard road. As you know, being in this conference, it's never going to be easy, but he's put some building blocks in place already. We've had a couple tough injuries on our season. Season already, but still, we're optimistic about the future. And we hope that we can win this game tonight and win some games down the stretch. But we're certainly excited to have coach beamers our head coach here at the university. Of course, before you go, I think close to the I think Kurt, Mitch marner, maybe the seniors, the seniors, but AD, but you're closing in on him. Just your thoughts on all the things that are happening right now in college athletics. I know your own campus has gotten a lot of attention from an NIL standpoint. We had some people on recently. It's a different world than it was when you were coaching. Well, it is. And nobody knows more than you with your time in college, football in the southeastern conference. But this is my 11th theater director of athletics and I never thought we'd be in this place within IAO and the things that we're dealing with. I was a proponent of cost of a tennis. I'm a proponent of NIL. Now I do think that certainly there's going to have to be some regulations going forward and maybe we will get there. But we're in a different place. You have to adjust and move forward and that's what we're trying to do. And with our recent decision that we made with Park Avenue for our NIL space, we're doing everything that we can to be progressive and do the right things for our student athletes and to be as successful as we possibly can be here at the university. Coach and all the best tonight and for everybody in your state, this storm is not far away. So be careful and be safe, but enjoy the game tonight. You'd be well. Hope to see you soon. Thank you, Paul. Good to see you. Thank you very much. Ray Tanner, the legendary baseball coach running winning some championships at South Carolina and now 11
