[upbeat music] Welcome, everyone, to Monday Match Analysis. I'm Gil Gross. We're gonna do a Madrid week one notebook dump. Kind of doing it frantically here last minute. I've got a flight to catch, and Rafael Hodar, Joao Fonseca are just starting their third set right now. I would love nothing more than to watch the third set and then have done this podcast afterwards, but I am completely out of time, and I would be missing my flight, and we can't be having that. So here I am, start of the third. I don't know what the result is gonna be, but, uh, it's pretty much lived up to it. It's been awesome to watch the only two teenagers in the top 100, the only two players born in 2006 or later to have won an ATP title, to face off on a huge stage in Hodar's home city. Uh, this has been awesome. It's lived up to it. Uh, look, I think tactically, just a few notes, and I'm not gonna go crazy here. It's so much about who gets on offense first. I don't see a lot of points getting turned around. These guys are not moving well enough to really absorb each other's power, so to speak. And Hodar in the first set, I think did a slightly better job at just getting on top of points using his first strike. I think he landed more, uh, effectively aggressive returns, maybe served a little bit better than Fonseca throughout the set. But
