Roger may not be able to win in singles but certainly can still win in doubles with the right partner, hope he’ll keep playing forever...

yeah i would like to see him with Stan again defending their title in olypics

@@ponce1741 that was 12 years ago

Plus, he already has solid volleys.

Yeah doubles simply isn’t the same game. Bryan’s are goats of doubles

@@black_nebula love watching them man, breath of fresh air those two

They did crack the top 500 in singles though

I don't think they focused on singles....so it's a moot point.

@@LaoTzuChi they did at the very beginning just to sort of break in I guess, but they focused on doubles. Doubles is a different game and requires different skillset such as very fast hands at the net and accurate returns.

I would mention that too.

@@unowen7591 Okay superman. You can barely see the ball, get real.

@@unowen7591 Oh wait, piss off.

@@unowen7591 Funny. Enjoy your air tennis.

@@hesch-tag you need glasses, I can see the ball well

It s not about the pandemic.

Wow

That is because Stan gave Roger static electricity blast whenever Roger touched him. :-)

This was actually mentioned in Rogers biography by Chris Bowers. The inside joke was, Stan was on fire, so Roger was warming his hands over him!

They did fail against rafa and Moya

CAP @@hirendrall7215

You think it's more

The beat probably the greatest doubles team in the history of tennis. While they were in their prime!

@@MrPernell27 you are right! I think they are worthy with their win because they also one of the best player tennis in the world

@@Phtphu I think this shows that double doesn't mean anything anymore if one of the supposed strongest double in tennis history is defeated by a single champion + a single champion... If good players played double Bryan brothers would have never won 16 Grand Slam titles!

@@paolopiccoli5199 yes, they are very strong

@@paolopiccoli5199 the thing is, good doubles players beat 2 singles players that r far better technically due to synergy/strategy. But you pair one of the greatest players of all time, especially one w exceptional shotmaking and point construction, along w one of the most powerful baseliners who just happens to be good at the net too, it’s pretty hard to beat them

I realized that during the match the speed tracker wasnt working correctly

Final

Semi final I think ? Because final is 5 sets and it was vs Finland

@@tiendatdangThis was the semisThe final was against Sweden

@@TheSupinesmokey sorry my bad Thanks for the info too 😅

Semifinal

There is nothing wrong with that, especially at that level it is a good tactic. A match isn't about being friendly to each other. Also not tennis. It is about getting the ball over the net in the right box and try to do it in a way that it doesn't come back the right way. Tennis is just that and anything else is can be nice but it's just decoration, nothing else.

@@LarzB You seem to confuse your personal opinion with a generality. That's a mistake on YT and other social media.

@@fabienh3943 you're mistaken, there are several books and other tennis sources that actually have targeting the body (not the head, but torso and lower) as part of strategy. Especially in doubles but also singles. That on lower levels it is seen as aggressive i understand, but at advanced level it is part of different strategies. Those strategies even have a name, the bulldozer and the hulk smash. At advanced level, you should be able to defend yourself against body shots. Even with the serve you have targeting the body.

Sorry :(

If that's true, then Martina (the first one) must enter your side point about best women players. I replied to your comment b/c I think that Navratilova is too often dismissed in terms of the "greatest" conversation due to here "mere" 18 singles slam titles. I agree w/you too about Serena; she's only seeking the most singles titles at the slam events; she'll still be well behind Navratilova, Evert, Graf, and Court in terms of all singles titles amassed by each of these players, and more to my point, overall dominance in women's singles tennis.

@@hiwayman981 good point!

@@hiwayman981 in terms of titles, yes, they lead Serena but in terms of dominating different groups of players across decades, Serena stands alone. And when you count the years she’s been out injured or didn’t necessarily pay attention to tennis, you’d agree that she could’ve definitely won more. None of these players dominated their peers like she did. NONE OF THEM

Good points by a few people in this thread. Mixed and doubles don't count for much - for decades now the top singles players have paid them scant attention. But in respect of Zuko's point about dominating peers - that's bogus a) because it all depends on who's the best of your peers (Navratilova had Evert and visa versa - without each other around they could easily have won 25 GS's but had to share 36 between them; Djoko, Rafa and Fed had each other and all three STILL managed to outscore all other on GS titles) b) the crop of women the last decade or so have been quite clearly crap (when last there was another good woman player - Henin I guess - Serena and Justine were very close H2H)

@@danguee1 in terms of h2h against top players, Serena walks as you clearly pointed out that it’s Justine (Hingis and Venus too) who have a close H2H against Serena and she has dominated the rest (Davenport, Clijsters, Capriati, Mauresmo, Sharapova, Azarenka, Li Na, Kerber etc) and these aren’t crap players, they’ve topped rankings and won multiple GS across different decades (1990s - 2020). Y’all just don’t want to give her credit and use her achievements against men to minimize her dominance in the WTA
