167: Alcaraz’s Clay Swing In Doubt, Fils Top 5 Potential, Shelton Shines in Munich | EP 167
Quotes & Clips
5 clipsArthur Fils emerges as top five contender
“I think he's a top five guy. If he's healthy, the way he's played, the way he has proven to play in the past as well. You know, but it just scares you a little bit because of the back injury, right? He's just so young to have a back injury. So hopefully that's just a one off and he's good because again, like tennis is better when these young superstar guys like electric, great charisma on the court are out there playing.”
Ben Shelton wins Munich title on clay
“I'm not surprised. Because this is what he has done throughout his so far relatively young career. He's had some results that sort of make you scratch your head now that he's a bonafide, like, top ten player. Indian Wells, I know he was sick there. Miami's a head scratcher, right? Losing to Shevchenko in his first match.”
Sam Querrey confirms his Queens Club membership
“I was very unaware that there was potentially I had a membership. I've reached out. I'm in fact a member. I've already had someone this morning actually asked me to play the mixed doubles championships. There's a members party during the Queens Club that I'm not going to make. Unbelievable. I am in fact a member at Queens.”
French tennis drought ends with Fils win
“Arthur Fils. Big event. Amanda is back, takes out Rublev in the final 6-2, 7-6. Stevie J, let me go to you. Second Frenchman to win Barcelona since his old French guy in 85, 41-year drought. Fils lit it up, though. The guy is back.”
Shelton overcomes lack of recent match wins
“Loses in the quarterfinals of Houston as the number one seed. So he's not going into Munich with a lot of confidence or a lot like, like a lot of match wins recently. But he's done this in the past. Like, he doesn't necessarily need that. And all of a sudden he can pop these big results.”
