“Look, I do not think he is a threat to Carlos and Janek. I just don't think anybody is, quite frankly. But he is a threat to be a top five guy. I mean, his game is massive, his serve is huge. I think John has talked about it a lot, actually, like getting through a tricky match at early in the tournament, that can catapult you to play some of your best tennis.”
“I think the draw and Kaboli did him a favor taking out Zverev in the semi-finals because Ben Shelton does have a Zverev problem. Doesn't match up well against Sasha. But I'm not surprised at all. He was playing horrendous tennis for his standards prior to the tournament. And he came through in the clutch five times with different weather conditions as well.”
“She's, of course, one of the top contenders for the Roland Garros title. And it's not Sabalinka's favorite surface, Clay. So I think she's going into this tournament. It doesn't matter whatever the surface is, she's going to go into every single tournament she plays as one of the favorites. But winning a tournament like this and defending a title like this, as you said, Sam, yeah, I think that can do wonders for her confidence.”
“I completely disagree. I think this is a big cause for concern. It's a right wrist injury. I mean, he's hurt his right wrist. Like he can't practice right now. He's out of Madrid. There's a decent chance he can miss Rome as well. You don't want to mess around with the wrist injury. So I think this is a huge deal.”
“Francis Tiafoe would play Madrid if it was a week-long event. He doesn't mind clay. I think he's healthy. Like, you don't want to go over there and be in Europe for 26 days, 28 days before Roland Garros and have the possibility of only playing three, four matches. It's crazy. It's insane. It's just mentally exhausting to sit there and do nothing for 26 days.”
“There's 11 guys in the top 50 with college ties. You got Ben Shelton, Vashiro, Lerner Tien, Sarundalo, the good one, Cameron Norrie, Rinder Kinesh, Nakashima, Gabriel Diallo, Rafael Yodhar, Ethan Quinn, Nuno Borges. And there's a few guys just outside the top 50 with college ties as well. It's pretty damn impressive.”
“All I can talk about is on Instagram. And yes, books are being cooked. There's some suspicious views to likes ratio, like with too many likes, not in not, you know, let's say 20,000 likes, but only 21 comments. The ratio is askew there. Yes, it's happening. And I will say it does not happen with Nothing Major. We put out a clip that's a total dud. You're going to know that it's a total dud.”
