The best interviewer with the best interviewee in men's tennis. Awesome.

[@dudemanismadcool]

I've been loving couriers presence for over a decade now. A real gentleman.

[@anelkaisgood2]

Agree

[@reginstravels]

yes

[@ceciliat8246]

Every on court interviewer needs Jim Courier to coach them. Meddy is great in his answers!

[@ncressy]

Meddy IS the best on court invu - he tells stories, secrets,philosophy, opinions…One of the most boring now is Alcaraz. Hopefully as he becomes more comfortable in English, his retelling will improve- he seems to be a fast learner!

[@thatgirl9532]

Jim Courier is the best interviewer you guys have. He always asks the right questions but also adds a bit of humour to the post match interviews.

[@rbrianharris]

It's like he's figured out the audience is filled with tennis fans who want to talk tennis and tactics and not just feelings.

[@Yoram-Pohl]

Courier is so much better than most of the other interviewers (Mc Enroes not bad), and the players always seem up for the fun.

[@GhostofGerulaitis]

Courier is definitely underrated.

[@joosiej85]

he's a wonderful interviewer, always has been. His old ones with Federer and Nadal at slams were absolutely brilliant!

[@henning_jasper]

But Barbara is still the most delightful by far!

[@arvzg]

this might be the best post match interview of all time

[@BigOllieSpin]

Easily

[@TuanNguyen-hu8ue]

Medvedev will be a very good commentator after he retires

[@Jbeee10]

100 💯

[@user-pq9vr4uh1k]

I love Medvedev’s thinking. He’s always so genuine and thorough

[@MeLikeTennis]

Jim Courier is by far the best interviewer in tennis. So natural and dare i say 'human'. People always have the impression that it has to be super professional like you're interviewing a politician. They ask generic questions which frankly illicit the dullest of answers. The tone and questions he asks are the ones in our minds.

[@afeld9075]

might be first post-match interview ever wherein the player got the mike and led the discussion! Meddy so sharp and witty

[@saurabhtiwari7525]

That’s best pair for interview

[@anseinueseima408]

I think the audiences enjoy Courier's interview as much as normal tennis matches. He should come to US open as well!

[@samster978]

medevev is so good always open in his interviews and willing tonshare

[@thatgirl9532]

True and he doesn’t hate on anyone, he even came at the reporters for talkin $hit on Novak and defended his friend/rival …. He literally said Novak has never changed despite so much success he’s had of all the years Danil has known him. He is who you see on screen and off.

[@0789Gaurav]

Mendedev is pure master class ❤❤ Love this guy😊

[@AbdJiA]

Right questions, right answers. Very great chemistry between these two guys

[@GhostofGerulaitis]

This was great. I loved every second of this "interview." Courier killed it, Meddy is awesome. Take note, FO, Wimby, and US Open. This was sooooo entertaining.

[@Lewythefly]

Meddy you absolute legend!!!

[@br1729]

I can count on one finger the number of times I learned something about playing tennis from an on-court, post-match interview--this was it.

[@sujaychandra4831]

It's too good to watch match and interview with Jim, love Meddy from India

[@ridgero]

Both are so cool and refreshing in interviews

[@lloydgyi6561]

Jim Courier is a great interviewer. Great questions, great diction and rhythm, manages to balance technicality with humour and empathy. Daniil was SO comfortable, relaxed and incredibly entertaining because of Jim. Top shelf 👏🙏

[@timob12]

I'm a huge fan of Daniil , such a smart insightful dude.

[@anelkaisgood2]

Even Jim knows Daniil is the best interviewee 5:56!!!!! The best 🥰🥰

[@donkeyestonkey]

Yeah, these guys have a wonderful rapport, in large part because of the great questions brought by Courier. As a former number 1 in the world, I’d guess Courier knows the mindset of an elite player in a post victory setting. Anyway, he gives us a glimpse at the real Medvedev: a funny, extremely intelligent, and generous with his knowledge, player, with a crowd pleasing game, and personality… Well done, guys!

[@irina_brum]

Meddy❤️

[@littleroller]

The French Open needs these types of interviews! The fans enjoy getting to know the players as we can clearly see!

[@JaffLionel-zm2el]

Medvedev accent is class

[@ValentinG23]

Jim Courier - GOIOAT( greatest on court interviewer of all times )

[@shikhab2250]

Jim and Daniel I can listen to them talking for ever and I always like always have a big smile while watching its such a pleasure to watch daniel play and talk. His honestly and willingness to actually share tactics of his games shows he is confident and isn't afraid to give away trade secrets ❤😊 and to think of how the crowd behaved when he was playing nadal few years back

[@cbalmori]

Gotta love Jim Courier… best interviewer

[@alanchak4935]

Jim showed a master class of tennis interview

[@VECGOCC]

Love the respect he gave Nuno.

[@LostAtSe]

Great interview! He's got a great personality Medvedev.

[@Grant_Ferstat]

That was pretty awesome.

I thing meddy is one of the best talkers of the game his interview are so REAL you never get tired of hearing him I wanted it to go on and no 😂😂😂😂 love meddy

i just love Jim Courier postmatch invu...he has an immediate connection with his interviewee.

[@AM_529]

😂 Funny and honest as we know Medvedev.

[@rawrss]

Jim Courier is such a great interviewer - lively, energetic, great questions and someone who seems to have a great connection with the players. 🎉

[@thlee3]

i think theres an underlying respect because he’s a grand slam winner

[@magnumcyclonex]

We had the Courier-Federer interview phase, and now we're in the Courier-Medvedev interview phase and it's only going to get better from here on out!

It is noticable that Australian are less political toward Russian players. Wimbledon etc. gets a diarrhea any time when they need to deal with them and always want to separate them. AO maintains the spirit of true sportmanship

Wow, congratulations Daniil. I always watch your game. You are my favorite player in tennis together with the William Sisters but Serena retired for her family. I am one of you fans in the Philippines. You are a great player. Hope you will get the AO Champion 2024 with Coco Guaf.

[@maxtosi3211]

beautiful!!!

[@analogkid8]

Courier asking some unique questions this AO, we are actually getting to learn a little more about the players' personalities and their strategies/tactics/equipment

[@DaveK-ym7nu]

Happy Slam, Happy Interviews!!

[@patrickw9706]

Courier, Wilander & Schett are the best interviewers

[@Sambone702]

He went from the most hated player to the most liked.

[@catalyst2155]

That's not true. If there's anyone whose hated the most then its Novak by the establishment and Fedaltards. Many Novak fans are admirers of Medvedev, he's not only really funny but also very likeable.

[@inguh7041]

How did that happen?

[@mkesam]

best thing on the internet today

[@JamesB2020]

Agree with all comments praising Mr. Courier. Among the men, interviewing the players, he’s the one, who always asks the best questions, and not only the cliche ones (e.g., “What was in your mind, when…” Good for AO being able to get him for these on court interviews! P.S. Mr. Courier was also a great player at his time!!

[@user-jk8bb6wm1s]

❤❤❤

[@1HUFFMAN]

I remember Mr. Medvedev flipping the bird to the crowd at the US Open. I think he realized when the crowd cheered even as he was giving the middle finger the majority liked the way he played. Crowd also appreciated the fact he was giving the few that was heckling him the bird. Dude is super funny. Is he popular enough to host SNL ? Probably been over 10 years since I watched it. I know because of politics it can't happen. BUT...maybe in the future....?

[@fearsomebunny]

Courier on a podcast said that after tennis he wasn't sure what he wanted to do and got dragged into broadcasting. Succeeding in his second career no less. I still have my "Can Jim Courier play tennis?" poster on my wall.

[@Jonathan-xt6jw]

He should keep working on the baseline return. Players who can drop shot or serve and volley can hold very easily against the deep return. The deep return will always be his bread and butter, but he needs an answer if the opponent is drop shotting or serve and volleying effectively.

[@dkpbyt]

If for some reason Novak retires sooner than he planned to, it’s gonna be neck and neck between Alcaraz and Medvedev on the number one spot. But my money goes to Medvedev, then Alcaraz will takeover probably after a few years coz he’s a much younger player.

[@sheniz1337]

you missed out sinner like that?

[@dkpbyt]

@@sheniz1337 we’re also following Sinner coz he’s one of the younger players with definite potential to be on the top three and ideal court manners like Nadal. For now, I see Medvedev as the next global ambassador of tennis.

[@SadieKats]

I love watching tennis on the tennis channel... I only wish that the announcers would not talk so much! We don't want all the stats that the player has accumulated....just want to watch the game.

[@labradachig1976]

It's a shame Jim doesn't do interviews on his home soil.

[@sophieoshaughnessy9469]

Im always interested that the Aussies have an American do the interviewing on court.

[@nicholaselsholz1958]

Some of our guys are pretty decent but were humble enough to know were on to something good with Jim. I hope he's signed up on an evergreen contract and will continue to be warmly welcome and a part of the AO furniture for years to come! ❤

[@sophieoshaughnessy9469]

@@nicholaselsholz1958 glad they haven’t elevated Nick above the level of class clown in this respect. He needs to actually care about tennis more than the sound of his own voice. Great athleticism but…smh

[@boomfaoce]

I don't see how he can return a kick serve from that position

[@nyhotelpilot]

Courier is hands down the best interviewer in tennis. What a contrast to that clown John McEnroe who is all about himself

[@jkj1459]

JIM COURRIER MISSING THAT LUCKY WHITE CAP THAT HE OFTEN KEEP TOUCHING AFTER EVERY SHOTS .

[@tristanlistravel1604]

I get it ... This type of 'masterclass' is really more for infotainment ... really? step further when up against a big server ... do sprints to get ready for frequent dropshots ... what a revelation!!!

[@vikrambansal1375]

His interviews are interesting and very crisp clear precise and in depth with a lot of insight and analysis about every aspect of his strategies unlike his tennis which is extremely boring , one dimensional and pushy !!

[@sneezeey]

Well maybe if he's given that much thought to what he does on court, it just miiight be that he knows what he wants to do, is very good at it, and so just sticks to it?

[@djsleekmanali6489]

Kcemanovic stood no chance against Carlos today! He will be tough to beat. Realistically, the only one that will push him will be Medvedev!!

[@cocoablini]

Meddy is a cool guy. All the Russia haters don't get it and get their dumb politics inserted into everything

The two most obnoxious people in tennis, together at last.
