Glad all three of you are sticking around with this podcast.. agreed, lucky us. 😊😊😊💯

Nadal will be the GM of the RMCF.

Murray? I predict disaster. Novak early exit AO25.

Murray is one of the best ? No, he is not, and he has nothing to suggest that he is. Given his poor body mechanics, I think he's just a glorified cheerleader to the excellence of Novak. As for the Nadal, well I said it before it all starts and ends with Federer, there would not have been a super age of men's tennis had it not been for him, once he was gone the entire phenomenon was tropedoed. Nadal will be missed but no as much as Fed, Oh bring out the pomspoms Andy !

I only see one reason for Novak to bring Andy in. I think the main thought in Novak's mind is to see if Andy can bring something different to the table that would help him best Sinner and Carlitos especially at Wimbledon. There's little else Nole needs to beat the rest of the ATP but these two have made life very difficult for him as seen in the last two Wimbledon finals.

I always thought ypu gus are the best, i enjoy your thoughts and comments most. You rock! Especially Amy!!

Good friendship congratulations ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🎾🎾🎾

Muresmo did ask rafa & he wanted ti continue so if anyone need to be blamed its him because he himself was not sure where & when he wanted to retire

Only odd man is joel who is way biased & nadal fanboy

If you're not going to listen to a coach who has victories over: Sinner, Alcaraz, Nadal, Federer and Djokovic, who are you going to listen to?

All men are boys--some forever and ever.

Well his send off has a lot to do with Nadal. He knew he was going to retire, he could have planned his retirement ceremony better. Blame Nada.

Joel hurts the quality of this show...he randomly interjects, his points are not solid or related to the conversational flow, he is past his prime..time for him to move on @gill gross

Great conversation as always. There is no better choice than Andy atm. Andy has an amazing tactical approach, fresh out of the tour, a friend from childhood, he can bring new views and ideas regarding Novak's next-gen opponents, or regarding Novak's game itself. Andy was the guy that stopped Novak's 2015-2016 run, unfortunately hos reign was short due to his injuries, but he knows everything, and he was the motivational factor for Novak for so long already. From different perspective, even as a symbolic fight of old guys versus new guns is great to see. Or from a PR pow - having a better reception in UK media. Or only as a "placebo" to have it on his side is beneficial and Novak would take it, he is that kind of guy.

Djokovic is the greatest because he has won the most . Djokovic could even make his speech in the language of nearly every country he played in .

Nole loses a point and vents his frustration by yelling at his corner. His corner: “Shut up!”

I would like to see you analyzed Novak woods. Did he said one last dance or firework?

So glad you're continuing the show. I love everything about this show -- topic, commentators, discussion -- except the incredibly dismal theme music. What the hell is that noise? 🤣

It was much easier to get Federer's right - he was only playing that one match no matter what, all of his rivals were already there, there were tears... and he's Roger, he's Mr PeRFect lol. Even Murray's at Wimbledon they sort of pulled available players on court, luckily it included some great ones- I actually found watching him at the Olympics making those impossible come backs with Dan Evans more emotional. And I think I found Nadal's last dance with Novak at the 6 Kings more moving than his farewell at Davis Cup, which was fine but a little anti climatic after the Doubles loss.

Love you three! Thanks for the insights and the community. Truly excited to see how the Murray-Novak dynamic plays out (and hopefully we get good coaching segments/footage/insights too). Fan fiction indeed! : )

Can someone explain to me what is so great about Murray and how is he part of the big 3? Wawrinka also won the same number of Grand Slams. What am I missing?

I think Murray was brought in more as a on court/in match tactics coaching voice/cheerleader. Less off court coaching. Because now you can coach during a match legally, so why not get one of the most brilliant minds as a voice in your corner during a match?

I am soooo happy that the podcast will continue. ❤❤❤❤

Novak just needed a headline this week.

lets face it, it was a very crappy goodbye, Roland Garros is the perfect place for the sendoff, this devaluated Davis cup is too little and unimportant for Nadal's last match

I don't think retirement ceremony is that important, at all. Djokovic and other big names were supposed to come to see Rafa in the final weekend - but Spain lost to Netherlands. So what? Does it change anything about Rafa's legacy? Not, at all. Murray ended his career at Wimbledon, Rafa didn't at RG. Does it take anything away from his legendary status at Chartier. Nothing, at all. He can have a nice send off there in 2025 or any other year. Endings are rarely perfect, and in case of both Roger and Rafa it was more than a year of physical and (I guess) mental huge struggles to carry on. And their bodies finally said "no". The same will happen to Novak, sooner or later. Really, these ceremonies don't mean that much, can be better or worse, sometimes players don't have much influence on that. I personally didn't even watch Serena's and Rafa's retirement ceremonies, at all, from Roger's ceremony only his, Rafa's and Novak's speeches. Their legendary careers are all that matter.

I'm glad you're planning on continuing the channel :)

Ha! Dear J-A-G-Should have known my Holiday Wishes were premature commenting on the last vid ep:164 :) Yeah, the Rafa send-off was a bit flat. Love the Amy take on Roger/Rafa/Andy send-offs blending from the personalities & qualities! I love how GG is all fired up about the NolAndy partnership! I think it will be a HOOT to see what develops. Happy for both of them to take on new frontiers in their 2025 partnership journey! Loved Joel's take on the focus/blend of this very serious partnership. Really looking forward to AO-2025 & beyond to see what/who shows up and HOW? Yannik-season of his life in '24. Sasha on the rise! Carlos' up/down trending. Novak to re-INVENT himself while battling Father Time & the Next-next Gen uprisings! HAZAAH! Here's to the best year EVER for Tennis! Thanx Y'All! And have an amazing Holiday Season with friends & loved ones 🙏🌈🎄Best, Milan xx

Djokovic didn't necessarily get there before the likes of Draper. According to Roddick and Wertheim, a lot of high ranked ATP/WTA players wanted him to coach them and Djokovic is apparently the one Murray said yes to

I figured since all his friends are now officially retired, he just wants another old familiar face next to him for the victory lap

nole knows he will really struggle to best sinner or carlos murray wont help maybe get a good lob overhead but 38 yrs old plus wada best chance for nole

Nice video bro!

I think Novak just want a bit more fun for himself. He said with rafa's retirement, part of him is gone. So how about bring in someone his generation? He cant get RF nor Rafa, AM is the closest he can get

I am all fired up for AO and now getting tix to go to Melbourne next year just to see both of them together❤

please call novak at your podcast

I just don’t understand the benefit for Novak, maybe extra motivation? He doesn’t need coach Andy at this point, and I can see this breaking bad more than being a benefit. Novak needs a punching bag as a coach, that isn’t and won’t be Andy.

With 2 of the 3 retired, would you consider making the 3 as Djokovic/Alcaraz/Sinner

If atp had any brains ,they would do a documentary on Djokovic - murray partnership immediately. It would be so entertaining and putting mikes to the tv audience for the on court coaching

If anybody can inject that fire, energy and motivation that is lacking now in Novak, it is Andy. He definitely can transform Novak like nobody can.

You're right Amy. In the big scheme of things, Rafa's fantastic tennis career hugely overshadows the DC send-off. He'll have many more tributes and I'm sure RG will do something special, which Rafa will like. I see Djokovic employing Murray as an interesting talking point. The question is whether this pairing will make much of a difference. I think not.

Nadal is so sour and bitter that he’s #2. I’m still outraged he vultured 2 GS in ‘22 over deported Novak

Both Murray and Djokovic are very smart and have a pulse.

Andy will be great coach for Novak, i can tell, i feel it.

Why is there no video review for footfaults? It would valuable for the player to see by how much he slipped across the line

Mark should've autobiographically taught Andy to play like MPetchey Perricard🦒💥

wow, words „collective consciousness” appeared😊

Great review gang! Looking forward to at least seeing you cover Nole in 2025 and maybe Carlos and Jannik can make the new 3…just an idea…I wanna see more of y’all

You didn’t talk about what success means for them and also that this is just an AO arrangement for now so it may end

Murray has an insatiable love for the game. He kept playing at his best level consistently even when beset by the big three, he chose to keep playing with a metal hip fighting an insurmountable obstacle, still played the best point ever against Kokkinakis, and now dives head first into coaching only months after retiring. British bulldog mentality.
