PLAY COLLEGE TENNIS

“Corey Goff got into the Good. Got into the replies, which I think it's since been deleted. But he wrote, I got time today. I guess you didn't see throwing up in the garbage with your egg head. It's so stupid. Like I love that he's defending his daughter. Go feed the trolls, man. Great dad. Like, what but also but also, like, online idiocy is sometimes Yeah. Undefeated. Like, there's a lot of great like, memes are great. There's there's a lot of value. Right? But, also, what has Coco done to ever make us think that she's gonna, like, grandstand on, like, an injury?”

“I would love Arkansas to tell us why other sports are losing more money and tennis gets cut. That's a very, very, very, like... we've made it a free market. We've made made it basically, we've made it acting inside of the bounds of of capitalism where if you have someone generating money and your sport's not... It's simply if we vote for this thing where people get paid, you can't act shocked when capitalism happens. Like, that's not we're not like, oh my god. How do how could we ever have figured this out? Well, when something's profitable, and I call these universities companies now because that's basically what they are.”

“I hate to say we can predict the future, but if you go back to last week's episode, what did I say the stadium looked like? Oh. What did I say it looked like? You said it looked like a Chipotle. It the stadium, Kahamajika looks like the inside of a Chipotle restaurant. People getting sick from tacos. I don't know. Get your get your hats. Get your tinfoil hats out. Just saying.”

“I can safely say that we have the most intense testing in all of sports. Mhmm. I love being able to say that. Like, I like it. Is that worth an hour of my day when I was on tour? Yes. Do I do I think, and I don't know this, do I think that most of players want that peace of mind even if it's a complete and total invasion of privacy, pain in the ass? I was fine being inconvenienced to have the feeling of a cleaner sport. So we got a new poll question this week coming off the news of Alcaraz.”

“Literally three hours later, there is a Spanish player beating top 10 Alex Dimonor, like, in in an hour. Rafael Jodar is a teenager, mind you. A 19 year old from Madrid. I'll I'll I'll tell you this. Like, you look for certain score lines against certain types of players. The demon win was his first career top 10 win, and then currently, he has 17 wins in his first 25 career ATP matches. That's that's silly. That's a better start than Nadal, Federer, Novak, Alcaraz, Sinner, and Fonseca.”

“I remember this is, like, the the shady shit that my mom Mhmm. She's like, if you ever have to vomit if you ever like, it's junior tennis. It's like, you know, you you're playing in, like, San Antonio where it's a thousand degrees and you happen to play 17 matches in a day as a junior. So if you ever have to vomit, go go in the middle of court. It's gonna take at least twenty minutes to clean it up. Your mom your mom said that? Yeah. My mom said that. That's next level. Yep. 100%. That's our upset of the day.”

“I've just really been maximizing every single day, putting all my effort on recovery, on doing the right things. And, obviously, we have a very, very strict guideline that we follow. It's not it's not just by, oh, I think it's fun to be on the tennis court. I I'm gonna go on the tennis court. It's because I'm allowed to.”

“On Sunday, ranked 200 in the world and playing with a wild card, the 39 year old came back from a set down to beat world number 32 Tallon Griesbauer. That made him the oldest match winner in Monte Carlo since 1973 and gave him a 145 masters one thousand match wins, the most by any French player in history.”

“When I in college, I was so successful with just, you know, finding a ton of forehands and bailing out with my backhand. And when I was on tour, the first thing that they kinda told me was like, alright, you need to be much more structured with your backhand side. Like, guys are just gonna pick you apart if you're if you're bailing out with your backhand. And so I really had to restructure my entire mind on how I was, you know, developing points and how I was playing tennis itself. And that was a really, really tough thing because I was like, man, I got out so easy in college with just hitting a huge forehand and guys not being able to catch up with it. So I think that was the physical side of things is just being able to understand like the actual like ins and outs of tennis, the intricacies.”

“Starting with team USA heading to Belgium captained by Lindsay Davenport, the Americans are sending 18 year old Eva Jovic to make her BJK cup debut. She reached a career high of world number 16 last month and is currently the youngest player in the WTA top 20.”

“The challenge is actually that programs have been dropped. So no one's getting the opportunity because the money is going towards NIL. So I actually think it's a bit of a crisis. I think that we gotta, like, lean in big time and, and find a way to stop those programs from being dropped because those are the opportunities.”

“I had my left wrist one time, injury. I dove on a match point against Illinois in a long match there, and I landed on my wrist. And so I played the semifinal there against Schutler with basically a chip backhand, and I couldn't I I didn't really do much. It it came back. It wasn't anything that cost me any amount of time, but I think I had to pull out of maybe one event, missed three or four weeks, but it certainly wasn't on the right wrist, and it wasn't because of there there's a difference between, like, if you land on a wrist and you bruise it versus, like, your stroke production is grinding your wrist in a certain way that you can't get away from, which is which is very different. Mine was I landed. There was an injury. It wasn't based on the way I was hitting the ball like a team or maybe a one more team where, you know, your body just couldn't take that extreme stroke production.”

“I remember actually when I was a kid watching this you probably you guys probably don't know him. His name is Billy Griffith. He went to Cal. And I just watched his forehand and I loved it. I thought it was like, so pleasing. And so I just started to copy it. And then the cobra just started to form out of that. And, you know, I kinda just yeah. Cobra. Just kinda ran with it. It's funny because Brad hates the cobra. If you if you talk about it with him, he hates the cobra and both Tommy and I have the cobra.”

“When I first left college, I think it was more of like, oh, wow. This is awesome. Like, I'm getting to, you know, live out this dream that, you know, I never thought was possible. And so, you know, I think that only lasts lasts for so long. When I first turned pro, I went on this, like, twelve week losing streak. And so, you know, when you get hit with reality that hard, you're like, man, this is just this is terrible. And, you know, fortunately, I had my girlfriend was really great in that aspect is where she was constantly, like, telling me, like, no, like, you're too good to be back in college. Like, this is, this is what you wanted. This is, you won everything in school. Like, this is exactly what you wanted.”

“Yeah, my freshman year so when I first got to school, they wanted to do it right away but I was like, No, guys. Like I'm not playing. Like you can't shave it yet. And so that entire semester in summer, I I didn't cut my hair. So I had a full mop going. I had like a a it was crazy. It was like a cotton ball, on top of my head. And so that I think it was right after US Open, the first time I played it, they I came home and the next day they shaved it. And it was, I mean, it was bald like just, ugh, it was so ugly too because I had like a tan line from my long hair. Oh. So I just had this white, white head. It was it was so embarrassing.”

“He told me that when you leave French you have to you have to go into an office and claim your prize money. And, you know, I'd been waiting for about a month for the prize money to come in because I was like checking every single day. I'm like, where is it out? How long does it take at majors? I've never been, you know, in the main draw of the French Open. How long does it take? Whatever. And after a month it hadn't come in yet and I I text Tommy. I'm like, dude, like, like why isn't prize money in? Like it's third round, like it's a big sum. Like, like I I I think, like, when's it gonna come in? He's like, oh dude, you didn't go to the office like in in Paris? And I was like no dude like I I didn't. He's like oh yeah you probably won't get your prize money.”
