This statement is so valid. If Federer never faced Nadal on Clay he'd have almost as many French Open wins as Borg. If Nadal never faced Federer on grass he'd have another few Wimbledons himeself. If either had a career without the other there wouldn't be a GOAT debate.

While Querrey may not have thought much of the Olympics, because the pros did play and were quite famous relative to most athletes, I think other competitors were happy to see them, a bit like the Dream Team, possibly more so because of tennis is more international. Players do want to win the gold. Andy Murray won it twice and felt like it saved his year in 2012 when he lost to Federer at Wimbledon. The Olympics rank behind the Slams, but it's probably bigger than the rest. The only downside is the number of participants is smaller and it runs in about 8 days, and countries have a limited number of participants so they can open it to competitors from more countries. In the 1990s, people mostly ignored the Olympics, though Agassi really wanted to win it because his dad was in the Olympics. I think the players also enjoy the Olympic experience, especially the opening ceremony.

If memory serves, Querrey's dad played baseball in college and regretted that he didn't turn pro and skip college. He advised Sam to do the same. Sam seemed to do things better than John Isner, but it felt like Isner had the better results which, I believe, had a lot to with Isner's serve and his ability to hold his nerve. Sam had early success and he was a nice guy. Early criticism was that Sam lacked mental toughness and wasn't "mean" enough or intense enough. I always like Sam as a person, but I know he went through some personal motivational issues a few years into his career where he had to take some time off. It's been so long since I was following Sam's career that the details might be wrong. Oh, there is one bit of trivia, Sam once played John in the finals of an event in the US and teamed with him in doubles to win that title. In the same week but at a different tournament, Llodra beat Benneteau (this was early in 2010) in the finals, then paired with him to win the doubles title. Benneteau had this misfortune of reaching something like 10 ATP finals and never winning a singles title. He was a good doubles player, however.

I think we didn't watch the same semi-final match ! 😅 If Casper was not sick (cause he really was no doubt about that, 3rd and 4th sets he was not even at his 50%) the game will have been sooo different. I think Ruud will have win or at least an intense 5 sets. Cause (except for the serves) Zverev didn't play well at all. Ruud manage to win points while being 🤢 and almost passed out ! 🤷♀️ And the 1st set he played really "court wise", force Zverev to open the door of his forehand... than add a lot of good dropshot... and it works !

It might be interesting if you do a discussion on specific players who are struggling or going through poor form. Things they can do to improve, their career, their mindset, lifestyle. Players like Tiafoe and Rublev come to mind. Tiafoe in particular is really struggling. He had a cold handshake with Shapovalov and none with the umpire. He seems to lose all etiquette when he loses. Taking a deep dive into his current situation could be interesting.

We have definitely touched on the struggles of Tiafoe and Rublev, as well as FAA for a lot of last year. A deep dove could be an interesting idea but I tend to find it is difficult to delve too much into what is going on inside a player’s head simply because most discussions about that type of stuff are private between a player/coach.

no because he's won rome beforehand won Madrid before he's gotten deep into French open. lucky only because he's always so unlucky facing alcaraz and Medvedev almost every time.

Yep, a lot more strong players in the previous generation. When Roger had his period of "dominance" Agassi at 36yo and injections on his back to be able to move was still getting to a grand slam final. Then they slowed the courts, slowed the balls, made every surface closer to each other and that is how you get 3 people winning on every slam (for wimbledon the change has been all in one go, changing grass mix in 2003 or 4).

I loved watching the friendly giant Del Potro play. His ferocious forehand was amazing. He had the potential to win multiple grand slams and challenge the top 3, 4. It's so sad how the injury took this opportunity away. I also feel sorry for Thiem. He also had the potential to win multiple grand slams. His back hand and work ethic was top notch. You cannot underestimate the impact of injuries on a player's career. I hope all active players remain mostly healthy with no career ending injuries.
@Paintinglinespodcast Ай бұрын
Injuries are such an unfortunate part of sports, able to derail a player's career through no real fault of their own. I think for the active players a lot of people are worried about seeing this with Alcaraz. At times he seems a bit injury prone.
@lorenzovonmatta8278 Ай бұрын
@@Paintinglinespodcast Very true. It's part of sport unfortunately. I'd also like to add. It's great to see Zverev playing so well again. About Alcaraz. As a young player this can happen. I read Nadal's biography a while ago and I remember him speaking about injuries. He had a very serious injury when he was starting out. An injury that he thought would stop him from having a career. It was scary and fortunately for him he managed to overcome this and adapt. To be honest, I'm surprised Nadal has lasted this long. His very physical game takes a lot out of him. Murray also had to adapt his game through his injuries (prior to the big one with the hip). You can see from Alcaraz's game that it takes a lot out of him too. I remember watching him a few times early on. The match against Tsistipas in 2021 was super and there were other super matches. But I was concerned about the longevity because of the physical toll on the body in his matches. One of the reasons I wanted him to win US Open 2022 is because I thought he may not be able to maintain this level for years to come. So it's best to win early or when he can. I think he might have to adapt and change his game a bit as he gets older. Make life easier by shortening points and being less exciting lol. There will always be challengers. I doubt anyone will dominate like the big 3. They'll be younger but also older and surprising players who win the big titles. I think it's a bit naive to think that just Medvedev, Sinner or Alcaraz will win all grand slams for the next decade. Unlike previous years, the semi finals and finals will not always be the same players. I strongly believe this. But hey, who knows :)
@Paintinglinespodcast Ай бұрын
I mean to your point with the semis and finals not being the same players, compare the Masters 1000 finals matchups from 2023 to the peak of the big four era. Back then you saw the same names over and over as the winners and runner up. Last year we not only saw 6 different Champions but also 4 different finalists. Compare that to 2015 for example where there were only 3 different winners and 3 different finalists. The new era is not coming, it his here.
