America leads the world in medicine development.

It matters.

We get new medicines first, nearly three years faster.

Five million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home,

and not relying on other countries keeps us safe.

But China is racing to overtake us.

Will we let them? Or will we choose to stay ahead?

When America leads, America cures.

Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead.

But anyway, well, that's this topic for another topic.

Five all.

Five all.

OK, who's going to get the championship point?

Someone's going to have a championship point in a minute.

Win a few seconds, probably.

Savile Enka serves.

Out wide.

Forehand return is good.

We're into the rally right now.

Backhand from Savile Enka.

Backhand from Savile Enka.

In the back is unbelievable.

Unbelievable backhand from the backhand of up the line.

From I think it's fair to say the best backhand on the tour.

The best backhand therefore in women's tennis in the world.

And possibly the best player in the world right now since October.

And I think she'd rather stamp that if she wins this next point.

Which is, of course, a championship point on her serve.

Six five.

Remember, first to seven this time, right?

Where are you going to go with this serve?

You are going.

Backhand return is pretty good for Marina.

We're into the rally right now.

Wonderful backhand cross-core.

From Marina, Savile Enka, it's six all.

Wow.

I don't know why you're saying congrats to Elena there because it's not done.

Six all.

That was just incredible.

So six all.

Okay, backhand just down the tee.

Savile Enka gets that back in play.

Can she pass Elena?

Oh, but the forehand volley from her back in her.

She's not a great player in my opinion.

That is a weakness in her game despite having won women number four.

And now it's championship point on the arena Savile Enka serve.

Championship point here for arena Savile Enka.

Okay, seven points to six.

Savile Enka hit first championship point for her on her serve.

What a monumental effort this would be.

What a great seven on the tee.

And it's going to go long and Savile Enka wins her first Indian Wells title.

She wins the title on a tie break.

She saves a championship point with one of the best backhands you'll ever see.

Eight points to six.

She wins this and what an unbelievable effort from Marina.

She had to dig so deep in this final.

She was serving for the match at five four and she got broken.

She had five break points on the back and a serve.

To therefore serve for the match again and she couldn't take any of them.

I'll be part of my big goal, John.

Well, of course, it's because I went for a back and a win today.

But I tell you what hats off to Marina Savile Enka.

Because that was mental reserves.

I'm not sure I even knew existed that she managed to find there to get over the line and win that match.

We're back and it was the better player for most of it.

But when Savile Enka had to win a point when Savile Enka had a chance to break the serve until that that service game.

I just mentioned when we're back and to say five break points Savile Enka took it.

She had she was three from three on break points until that game.

Then when she was down, championship point.

Oh my goodness, what a backhand cross call.

And arguably that was the point that won the match.

That was the point that told Elena of a back and a you're not going to get this easy.

Like you maybe did in Australia, like you maybe had today until that moment.

Like you did at the WTA finals recently.

Like you did in Cincinnati last year with Rebecca winning three of the last four.

And I tell you what, that would have been a rough loss for Savile Enka as well.

Given the fact that she was serving for it.

Given the fact that she was up a break for so long in that deciding set, just like she was in Australia.

Yeah.

Tell you what my camera is frozen with the all the emotion.

All right. Well, we're going to get.

Can you still your audio is cool, but your video is frozen. Yeah, good.

Good, the audio is still there anyway. That's the most important thing.

Let's see if I can share some some tweets with you rather than just see my frozen face.

Maybe some of you like the frozen face.

Sure. Let's see if we can get some tweets up on the screen.

So we don't have to look at my frozen face for too much longer.

Let's share the scoreboard at least anyway.

Indeed, Savile Enka winning.

I don't quite know why my screen is frozen, but it has there's a scoreboard for you anyway.

As you see, seven, six, third set, so it's a three six, six, six, three, seven, six.

Well, the story of the match, by the way, we saw Savile Enka really struggling that first set as a footwork was all over the show.

And she embraces her team and struggled to get going.

I think the heat played its role as I unfreeze myself.

And yeah, I think the heat played its role, especially in terms of the movement of both players.

And we saw, I think it's not a great quality match until it really reached a crescendo there in the deciding set.

And yeah, and don't forget, Rebecca knows well, wins the first game of the second set.

She's now up a set in a break and it's, she's in cruise control.

I think Rebecca knows playing quite well.

She was punishing, I think, some of the second serves of Savile Enka pretty well at that stage.

And yeah, it looked like it was going to be a fairly comfortable rudimentary win.

Maybe one break in each set and we're back in a win six, three, six, four.

But those four games at the beginning of the second set that she won in a row, Savile Enka.

As she broke and held, broke and held and gets to four one.

I guess was a huge moment in the match.

Now looking back, she then wins that set as a result.

Goes up an early break in the third set, but it still felt like Savile Enka wasn't really hitting her heights.

She's put her on top of these water bottles right now.

A very cute dog that is, I'm talking to her.

Let's say get some tweets up, but yeah, but then serving for the match.

Five, four, tough for Savile Enka.

Rebecca was winning one more point.

So I'm pretty sure, let's have a look, see if I can get a stat for the whole match.

But I'm pretty sure that Rebecca would have won more points overall as I get the stats up at least.

For this final match details, let's get this up.

Ten aces for Savile Enka over the back end of 12.

But what about that backhand cross-court, by the way?

Sorry, I'm all over the show because it's such an emotional moment.

What about that backhand cross-court to save championship point?

I mean, that gets, that is whacked across court.

And even for Savile Enka, I think she dumps that into the net.

70% of the time, and maybe given the pressure at the moment, maybe even more.

So flat, so powerful, so unearingly accurate, was it sensational?

Maybe the best backhand that she's ever hit, and it saves that championship point.

Six all change of ends.

She's then is the one who then gets the championship point of her own, and she takes it on her serve.

Eight points to six.

But yeah, okay, some of the stats, ten aces for Savile Enka.

Twelve aces for the ace queen, Rebecca.

It's now Rebecca, by the way, with one Indian Wells title, and Savile Enka with one Indian Wells title.

As we see Tommy has the Tom and Rob director greet the crowd.

Three double faults for Savile Enka, two for Rebecca.

Yeah, that's fine for both players.

First serves in, I think both would like to have get a bit more in, but both were sort of between 50 and 60%.

Both winning first serves, points one around that 60, 65% mark.

A second serve points one, Rebecca and her easily winning this.

She won 70% of her second serves.

I think that's a remark I'm probably showing Savile Enka's return today.

For, I think Elaine Venus Savile Enka is probably the best returner in the world.

She didn't have a great return day today, despite winning the title.

Yeah.

What else can we show you from these stats, at least?

Yeah, two points one.

I want to tell you, yeah.

So Elaine Rebecca, and I'm going to put this out on Twitter, by the way.

Elaine Rebecca and her.

One more points.

Then.

Arena Savile Enka in that final.

In that Indian Wells, we're going to listen to Elaine Rebecca right now, by the way.

So I want to say, in the course of the world, there's an ordinary verse of this phenomenon,

the anti-marital, open up old voice.

And everyone who made this tournament possible is reading.

I think it's paradise.

I really enjoyed a couple of weeks here.

It was very difficult match and congratulations to Elaine and her team for all the achievements in this final.

And I don't hope any of them will win.

I personally, again, in this stage of the tournament.

And of course, I wanted to say thank you to my team.

No, there's also wanted to demonstrate.

I mean, that's a way.

And what a year she's having to be fair.

For the next one.

And what I want to say thank you, of course, to the crowd.

It was such an amazing atmosphere for the support.

So all my sponsors, family, I didn't forget anyone.

But thank you so much for getting guys.
