Has requested the commissioner of the league to make it a tie it.

Well she petitioned the commissioner didn't get much luck there that's how she'd like for it to -- you know.
This is so unprecedented as you said never happened before about the only thing you can really compare it to is Richard and are -- Williams.
They of course the parents of Serena and Venus Williams they've had this in grand slams many times before.
When I had a chance to sit down to talk to Jack I asked him what it's like for him and his wife Jacqui to have both -- against each other in the big game.
