the shadow his childhood casted on him needs time to be cured, and i can't wait to see Andrey finally manages to feel love for himself and be gentle to himself no matter things went as planed or not.

Would have been nice if he played Rafa instead of Fed in a couple of those exhibitions.

Isn’t pickle ball over yet? Trendy lemmings.

this is not pro vs amateur, this is pro vs beginner

Not to mention the difficulty of keeping healthy joints... When doctors refer to a symptom using the name of a sport, you know it's tough. Not just the upperbody either

26:15 Have to disagree on this take. I had watched a couple of matches of all 3 sports on different skill levels (beginner and professional), and I thought that padel looked the most interesting. Padel hits the sweet spot where it's not as slow and meticulous as tennis but allows great displays of skill by the pro players. Tennis also has way too much emphasis on the serve compared to padel and pickleball.

one word..... DRUGS

Oh I know, let's make a new game with half the size of the pickleball court. You know, because I just don't want to run at all.

If he manages to stay healthy and to improve serve consistency he will truly be unbeatable and will do the Grand Slam. Mark my words.

As a lifelong 40 years tennis player...I always have despised USTA and the thick, thick, thick layers of bureaucracy and also their mafioso oversight of local tourneys. I picked up pickleball last year and play 3-4 times a weeks and I have never enjoyed a racquet sport as much. And, I can easily do pickup at the local park which was never possible at the local tennis center. Or, I can play in local tournaments without being forced to pay homage to the Mafia group aka USTA. Lastly, listening to the USTA talking heads at the last US Open, it was so obvious that corporately the USTA is so WOKE which translates to to WOKE IS BROKE.

Noah you are in a league of your own, the best sports Chanel, I say it again not tennis channel SPORTS channel

I always felt bad for Naomi. Serena humiliated her during her proudest moment. It broke her and it destroyed her career.

Very good technical analysis of the game.

People have no idea how hard tennis is to play and also to train for, it'People have no idea how hard tennis is to play and also to train for, it's right up there as the hardest sport to play.

Wow so many ads. How many hungry are you?

Overrated

Padel is king. So much easier on the joints than tennis, tennis is really bad for the joints, tendons, muscles and back. So much more fun. It is nothing like tennis except for the ball. Sure there is a racket, a ball and a court, but isn't that also the case of volley ball ?

Squash Player here… played Tennis for years before switching. I’ve played Pickle but for me there nothing like the workout you get with Squash. It’s an intense game. Gotta admit, that Padel game looks pretty freaking fun.

exactly what was once said about squash, and then racquetball. Tennis will be fine.

I live at a retirement community and in my 65 plus age group, nearly all the pickleball players are women. It’s unfortunate that the few men surviving can’t or won’t play. Men; don’t give up! Keep playing a racket sport whatever it may be. We need you on the court.

Most excellent piece and agree with most of your points. Is a key to the growth of Pickleball due to the drop in games and the welcoming camaraderie (for the most part)? I think this was huge plus for Pickle during Covid. Pickle so much simpler to get started with have fun during first game. Tennis outside of perhaps private clubs does not offer the drop in games. Re: Padel (I have not played yet), I used to play racquetball and it was fantastic in the day, there were leagues and challenge courts at a club I belonged to. Not exactly sure why racquetball died; no doubt much more expensive to build courts than Pickle. Racquetball was amazing at 2 lesser skilled players could have an awesome match. Racquetball as I recall was much aerobic than tennis. Pickle is a bit more like a big game of table tennis that another commentor noted. I also play some platform Tennis which is much more technical than Pickle and awesome but super expensive to build a court.

If there were 2 slams on clay (like there is hard-court) Rafa would have 35+ slams to his name

i think carlos lost because he too wanted djokovic to win, i think he also thought "these are his last olympics games, i don't wanna do this to him", i concluded that he let djokovic win, the pressure because of his admiration for djokovic was higher than the pressure to win the gold medal for spain

The womens field is so varied and talented with different personalities the mens game now is so limited in depth and some are just boring go womens tennis❤

Jo Wilfred Tsonga ✅

Halep is a bit tainted now

What if Fed didn’t contract mono in 2008

Pickleball is p___y, and I'm 'old' at 69. Ex Tennis player, now club level Table Tennis player competitive with players half my age.

We had hi def video back in the 50s

Thanks to Doping and Favoritism 😂

Thing is, almost ANY exercise becomes easy if you do it enough. For someone who is just coming into it for the first time, its very normal that it may seem difficult.

He will rise again if the shoulder improves.

Along with McEnroe the most iconic Male tennis player of all time....Federer Nadal and Djokovic more grand slams but nowhere near the charisma of the above....saw Borg once at Wembley Arena v John Lloyd...treasured memory...thank you Bjorn!❤😊😊

Nike made a huge mistake. And made a lot others, it's no suprise the company is in decline.

why dont you americans just play badminton instead of creating a slightly smaller tennis. i dont really understand. if you guys want a fast acrobatic style of game , go for sepak takraw.

six kings def counted..playing for that much money

73-6

Nike people seem to be spending only on running (Olympic sport),the USA universitas and the team sports only when players get a deal with Nike if they even get a deal with Nike, some get paid enough in the sport by a league or other sponsors they are in they will use Nike becuse of having to use in Universities in the USA.

Always wanted to understand the padel craze in Nairobi. I counted 3 courts in the last 3 months already.

Right now the best American player is Taylor( I like to play Apex Legends and Warzone like you), but I like more the style of playing of Tommy(because i play like him of course in amateur, semi pro closing to pro vibes with friends), I think he 's got the potential to be in the top 5 like Fritz and in 2025 they will win again some tournaments!!!!

Well steroids can help anyone

Nole is the 🚢

This was a great video. Great job!

Monica seles

Pickleball is for lazy, or older ppl who don’t want to run around much. It’s the electric bike of the tennis world.

The GOAT

I am a huge Disc golf fan and I am trying to figure out how to grow the sport without making it so expensive for people to travel and compete in tournaments...without corporate involvement, major corporations have already caused enough problems in American society

Recently I got a Yonex R-27 from Goodwill and starting to learn once its legendary user: Martina. I was shocked about the career record she was achieved. Fabulous.

who is the girl?

Most new Nike Tennis Outfits looks garbage tbh.. On´s kits looks so smooth
