Wow, great convo…just popped up on my timeline

Another great podcast. Love the fit on the AI guy, but can't have that be head to toe for sure. LOL French Open Fit Check. Who's doing it right? ->: Casper Ruud, Holger Rune, Tiafoe (A+), Le Monf (A+ all creme/tan looks clean). Everyone else is trash.

💞🦾 >THE BIG # 3 ( COCO ) 🎉🎉

Gauff has a rankings pts buffer, to where no early-round upsets can derail her top 5 status. She wins a few matches at every single event she enters. She’s done a good job building her ranking

💞🦾 > GO BIG #3 ( COCO )

I have watched tennis on television for 50 years. I enjoy watching a doubles match more than a singles matches. Singles matches can get really boring. I have never seen a boring doubles match. Doubles is exciting and has variety. But the promotion of doubles is severely lacking in professional tennis. Ninety percent of the recreational tennis I have seen over the last 50 years is DOUBLES. I have seen very few purely recreational players who play singles matches. People play doubles to socialize. I would watch more doubles matches if more doubles was shown on TV, TH-cam, etc.

The main problem with doubles is that the game that pro doubles players play is so different from what the average recreational player plays, far more so than singles. I'm a high 3.5/low 4.0 player and singles players are still playing more or less the same game that I do - only with being faster, stronger, hitting with more spin, and far more consistent, but still showing things that I can apply to my own game. Meanwhile, seeing two teams of doubles specialists is exciting, but also an hour of "how did he do that?"

Pro level doubles is fun to play, but not good to watch.

The biggest problem with doubles is that there are no teams anymore. It's just random dudes playing because of availability. You cannot root for the bryan bros because there are no teams like bryan bros. It used to be a shock to see one of the Bryan bros play with Jack sock because we're so accustomed to seeing a great team, the Bryan bros.

I am a teaching pro and one of the things that ticks me off is that play tennis players that only play doubles never watch it. The game evolves and people come up with new ways to play and none of these people have any idea about basic formations or anything

There's another big issue against Doubles. They change throughout the season. There's seldom rivalries. There are few legends, like the Brian Brothers. Which by the way, would attract huge crowds, cause they didn't change partners.

Let's leave affairs of the heart to those involved in the situation.

Not a hater of doubles. Love pro doubles. The worst thing is a doubles team playing singles on a doubles court! Tennis needs doubles specialist. Tournaments need to fill courts later in the tournament with doubles. Most top singles (1-20) would not play doubles if they lose singles early they are on to the next tournament to prepare. It's about profit for tournament owner not fan experience. Nothing wrong with profit but maybe find a better way.

I like Coco Gauff, but it has to be honestly said that her performance this season is unimpressive. This is not the same playing as at the US Open and in the pre-Grand Slam tournaments last year. I understand the coach's rule of playing ugly and winning, but you can't watch her matches. Iga, Saba and Ryba also don't play very well, but they play more solidly, which translates into the results. As for the first serve, some say that Coco is slowly becoming the infamous queen of double faults. As for the big three, the girls talking this season, not what happened in previous seasons. And if you look at the results of Iga, Rybakina and Sabalenka, they present the best results in this part of the season, which is reflected in the race ranking. Iga has 3x1000 and the United Cup final, two semi-finals, Rybakina has three wins, Saba AO and the final in Madrid. Before the tournament in Madrid, Sabalenka said that she did not think that she belonged to the Big Three, that now there were the Big Two (Świątek and Ryba), and after the final in Madrid she said that she was happy to be back among the three best tennis players of this season. The results this season speak for themselves, which is why Coco takes fourth place in the race. But this is not just her opinion. Cam Williams, a well-known youtuber from the USA, has a similar opinion and Andy Roddick has talked about it more than once in his recent podcasts, that the mentioned tennis players are in the most even form, and the rest of the girls are trying to catch up with them this season.

This is hilarious from Nadal

Coco should hire a different coach.

They are not scared of Coco at all.

She was right.

Wawrinka, Dimitrov, Del Potro 🎾 I could go on and on

Iga don't see Coco Gauff as a main competitor she only loss to Gauff once. Sabalenka and Rybakina beat Iga and numerous occasions.

Coco's record against top twenty players is a joke.

Nadal is right Djokovic won 3 grand slams and pkayed in all 4 in 2023 to me shows the level of the atp tour. But at the same time Alcaraz and Sinner not at their best yet.

This is crazy lol

Iga being arrogant as usual. First off, she should be thankful Barry retired. Secondly rating playing based on the four months of the year or based on who can beat you is super lame. Cos Ostapenko beat Iga every single time and no one has discredited Iga for that. In the past one year Coco out performed Rybakina and earned her spot. Even before winning the USopen Rybakina tailed behind Pegula. There is no big 3 in women’s tennis right now. Sabalenka hasn’t been consistent since AO. having a good run in Madrid doesn’t make her consistent cos we have been watching every tournament this year.

😣 "PromoSM"

This is by far the best tennis podcast. For the record, I've played tennis my whole life. These guys have a great show. Most other shows are super lame, boring, unoriginal and full of platitudes and cliches. These guys have fun angles and thoughtful opinions / analysis. They keep it tight, crisp, current, cool, and real. I love it.

They are not even thr Big 3,they are putting unnecessary pressure on themselves

Why would anyone listen to rap? It’s not even music.

Agree with Osaka giving an opinion 😂

Coco can beat iga

Coco is not here just yet. She's better than the rest of the tour, but not the "big 3". The thing about big 3, is that they are not only better than everyone else but also putting up a fight against each other, and when we look at Coco's H2H with the rest: - Saba vs Gauff 3:4 (checks off) - Ryba vs Gauff 0:1 (so they only ever played 1 match and a close 3 setter on that, kinda hard to compare the rivalry) - Swiątek vs Gauff 9:1 (and here is the real deal - currently gauff is no threat to the no1, never have been and the matches are not that thrilling) So for me Coco has potential to join the group especially since she is a bit younger, but rn is rightfully not included. Give her time to prove herself, and we'll see in a few years how the WTA scene will look like.

My mom thought me that if I don't have anything good to say about someone, I must just keep quiet. Iga is a na*sty piece of work. She shouldn't have said that whether it's true or not. Be careful of Karma

Coco is great player but at the moment she is not in great shape..

Iga said with no intentions to insulting any player but at the moment Rybakina, Sabalenka,Iga are top 3 no matter if you like or not...

As a Rafa fan I never thought this day would come when I hear people saying that "MAYBE he can get to 4th round at Roland Garros". He used to be completely unstoppable there. Court Philippe-Chatrier was like his home backyard where he absolutely crushed and annihilated opponents with ease. The slow decline of a King is just really sad to watch now.

Iga respect Coco for what she achived being so young ( she said it + that she knows she will do much more) but tbh her game cant impress Iga … facts& I suppose Coco would agree - I hope its not the level she wanna be (2024 she didnt won match against top 20 player). Coco may become great champion but atm her game is not there ( yet?) or its some outside the court stuff that impact her game lately? - dont know. about Iga: she was asked & gave honest answer- its not deeper than this.

Kei

He doubles down on the Casper hate at every opportunity. LOL I'm trying to figure out the root of the hate because Jay's an ultra chill dude and so is the AI dude.

Thank you so much 😍

First time watching you guys, great job ❤

This Rybakina conversation is so interesting to me. I like her but lets compare numbers. She has only won ONE grand slam, the same as Coco. Sure, this year Rybakina has hit the ground running and having wonderful results, but very similar to Coco's summer of 2023. Rybakina has a more consistent serve than Coco, but Coco has better movement and net skills and leads the tour in return points won. In the 1 meeting between them, Coco has won. Also Coco leads Sabalenka in their head to head. Now, what I will say is Coco has to fix her serve and needs to be more aggressive. She is struggling to close out matches and sets and it is hindering her. Looks like she lost a lot of confidence after the Australian Open. I think she even questions her talent and abilities. If it clicks for her, she will be a threat to everybody!

Definitely the greatest tennis player in history, but his behavior on court has not been ideal, broken racquets, yelling, etc.

... could've, should've, would've... 🎾

Love this podcast

Sorry but that is not accurate. Murray won over 20 matches against the big three..

Who cares what Iga thinks.Please get real.The rankings speak for themselves.Always trying to put down the black players.Get a life .

Nope. Ugly style of play. Bad sportsman. Most tennis fans don’t like his game, style or personality.

Roger Federer is the meaning of sportsmanship. Novak has some moments

YES
