Essential Off-Season Questions for EVERYONE (Rankings 9-20, Part 2) | Monday Match Analysis

[@hkmamba824]

This is legit so great, I think it is to short actually. Honestly I could listen to this for the top 200 players on 10 episodes

[@raywill8638]

I agree even top 50 maybe just at the end of the year !! There’s hours more content just in this topic. I really like when Gill & Alex get together !

Fun Fact: It turned out that your Monday Match Analysis was my #1 most watched podcast on KZbin (82hrs), and your Mailbag was my #2 most watched podcast according to KZbin themselves.

[@ZlatniPlast]

How can you check that?

[@malekat8539]

@@ZlatniPlast KZbin randomly showed me my music playlist of 2024 on my home page, so I clicked it, and it was designed in an Instagram story type of format and along with that, it showed me my top 5 podcasts watched

That’s great for Gill, he is my favourite KZbin tennis analyst

didn’t notice before but the gill + gruskin combo is a goat eyebrow duo akin to shaq and kobe

Monday Match Analysis: the only tennis show where you’ll ever hear Hubert Hurkacz likened to Pete Davidson

[@arthurdemange1090]

Tsitsipas needs Guga in his box. Right guy, tight personality and familiar with Stephanos game. Truth is, I see him able to bounce back in the top ten but winning a major, idk maybe just maybe but he needs someone big and stable behind him.

Thanks!

[@GillGross]

@@paulrubinsteinvideo thank you!!

[@paulrubinsteinvideo]

Love the two of you together. Great chemistry, quick minds - and excellent analysis too.

[@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten]

19:33 I definitely disagree, look at how Djokovic has changed (and improved) both his forehand and serve around this age. The same goes for Nadal with his serve.

[@tobiasgoldman]

I love how Gil makes Gruskin giggle, again and again.

[@magstine]

I dont see the light with Holger anymore, but I believe he is better than the rest. And thats it

[@issimi]

Great Show! Both of you are entertaining and both of you know your stuff (i initially was wrong about Alex Grushkin, who i first thought was primarely there for making average funny jokes but he is way better than just that). Fun and interesting to watch!!

[@ranrabi9381]

Groskin, Atlanta must be kind to you because you were on point here. Best I’ve heard you ever

[@joannemoore3976]

I can't disagree about Tommy Paul's beautifully chiselled jaw 😂

[@peterbreughel4440]

Highlight: Alex cracking up at the Humbert question.

[@EB-td2lr]

Hey Gill, great stuff, could you do something similar but for WTA - maybe top 10?

[@WTJHD]

Great analysis. How I wish it was longer 😂

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Great podcast, thank you so much. 👍

[@nilsandersson6208]

Aloha you help make tennis interesting! Love your sharing!💛

[@POK2008]

One guy I would like to get your opinion on is FAA. What does he need to improve in order to get back in the top 10?

[@lsb9073]

Re Stef, exactly, it's his PARENTS. The mother is a nightmare, she will not let him fly away from the nest. We had hopes when he hooked up with Paula that he'd grow a pair, but no... it's really sad. I'd like to know who is managing his finances. She isnt going to let go of her golden goose.

[@joshforde698]

Shelton drastically overachieved in 2023, 2024, was a slight regression in comparison, but probably a consolidation season.

[@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten]

28:48 The level of talent of the young french players is almost exactly the same as the old ones and I don't really give them a good chance of beating Carlos and Sinner, especially at the slams.

[@MasseyVF]

Enjoyed most of this except where Gill wrote off Dimitrov. No doubt he'll continue to view Dimitrov's every loss as a portent of imminent doom & every win as a fluke. How dare he play so well in his 30s?! He has no right to keep beating Alcaraz like that. Dimitrov wasn't gifted his top 10 ranking - he earned it. I hope Dimitrov has a brilliant 2025. Beneath his, 'Aw shucks I'm just happy to be here' routine is a steely determination to keep realising his potential. And there is no better player to watch on court doing just that.

[@Theo-fp2oe]

Being Greek myself, I can tell you that Greek parents are extremely controlling. It's like an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond, where the love is conditional. Stef should've cut ties a long time ago.

[@mariepelletier3020]

What is it you don't get about injuries. It's because de Minanur played out of his mind that he got injured. Period. He pushed his body beyond its limits. End of story. And if he keeps on pushing his body beyond its endurance he will keep getting re-injured. It's not hard to figure this out.

[@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten]

Overuse injuries are not immediately this severe after only one point. He felt nothing and then all of a sudden after a weird movement he got injured, it's pretty clear this was not because he pushed his body too much. And he has been pushing his body this hard for 5+ years so why would it happen now?

Modus operandi--

[@mariepelletier3020]

Yup that's it--his mother is worse than his Pop--Tsitsipas should disallow his mother as well as his father to be in his box. She is no help to him, never has been.
