169: Jodar Madrid’s New Hero, Alcaraz Out Of French Open, Tsitsipas Is Back? | EP 169

“His quote was because after the results of the test carried out today, we've decided that the most prudent thing is to be cautious and not participate in Rome and RG. We will we will wait to assess the evolution of the injury and decide when we will return to the court. It's very complicated for me, but I'm sure we'll come out stronger, from here. I I Sam, this is just it just sucks, man. Yeah. It's just brutal. It sucks.”

“Right after that match, we're on the desk, and I asked Courier and Goodall. I'm like, is Hodar the main attraction at the tournament right now with Alcaraz? Not there. And they're like, absolutely, he is. Like, more so than center. You know, he's obviously from Spain, but it's so rare that, a player this is his first time playing Madrid. And he steps on the court. He's center court. He's night match every night, and he's the main attraction of the Madrid master series.”

“If he wins this, no way he's playing Rome. Dude, he's for sure playing Rome, dude. I don't think so. I'm with I'm with Sam. Really? Maybe not. That's a that's a long layoff before RG, though. I mean, he's gonna win. He wins Madrid on Sunday. He's got seven days off till Rome, and then he's gonna play two and a half tough matches to get the Rome title.”

“We just got programs folding because of they don't wanna pay because of NIL and such. Yeah. Arkansas Tennis is no longer here. But what what's the game what's the path forward, I guess, for, like, Americans that wanna play college tennis? Get better. But how do you I feel like it's it's just that, like what about, like, if you're if you're an 18 year old American, but, like, you're losing a spot to whatever school to Arkansas because they bring over a 21 year old European who's ranked 600 in the world.”

“I think we've seen the rock bottom from Tsitsipas. Yeah. And he's on the way back. Yeah. Have we? Yes. I think we have, dude. Like, his first terms of his, like I hope so. Of his level on the court. I mean, he was, like, whiffing backhand returns. I've seen highlights. I've seen stuff with him, like, whiffing returns. You don't think we've seen his rock bottom, Stevie? You think it's getting worse? I don't know, man.”

“But Ann Lee did take out Swiatek and who retired in the third set. You see this thing with these shrimp? There's some shrimp bad shrimp tacos been going around. Shrimp tacos, guys. That's the rumor. Courier that's it was Courier alluded to that. Right? Like, he'd maybe didn't elude it. He flat out said that. That the shrimp tacos has taken a lot of players out, like, Kilich. Iga. Cilic. Coco Gauff Yep. Ate the tacos and was still able to win despite, like, throwing up on the court.”

“longest winning streaks on the men's side in the Masters one thousand's history. We've got a bunch of big names. We got the longest streaks are Novak with 31, Novak with 30, Roger with 29 in a row, and Sinner right now actively has 24 wins in a row. I don't see this stopping anytime soon. I see him eclipsing. I see him winning Madrid, winning Rome, and being the the guy with the longest win streak.”
