“Alcaraz is out of RG. You know, we see we you know, seen in that photo with his brace on his right wrist. He's clearly he can't get it ready, for Roland Garros. So, like, that's a big bummer. 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.”
“You see this thing with these shrimp? There's some shrimp bad shrimp tacos been going around. We're talking about the 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.”
“In Tennis Channel, we're talk we're going over, like, top five clay quarters right now on the women's side. And I didn't have Iga in my top five, and I kinda got some, like, pushback from it because of her clay court results the last five years. She's been the best over the last five years. But right now, like, she's not like, do you guy and I preface that as, like, I think, like, confidence is the most important trait in tennis. Like, she came into Madrid not having made a semifinal.”
“The 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.”
“Hodar is the story of the tournament. 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.”
“The rest of Madrid, the the Americans, pretty pretty poor, tournament for the Americans. We have none left. Correct? Correct. You know who the real winner is of the Americans in Madrid? It's Francis Tiafoe for not playing. For for not playing. Taylor Fritz. Him and Fritz for not playing, just being home, skipping it. I mean, Fritz is, you know, coming back from injury for but for Francis, it seems like he just skipped it, and it's like, that's great.”
“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. It's hard to compete with that.”
“I think we've seen the rock bottom from Tsitsipas. 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. There's still people in his box that might bring him down.”
