Playing Areg for a Point! | Road to 2 ATP Points | 25K Sanxenxo | Part 1

[@MaxWeishan]

Jeez these comments are eye cancer… obviously Areg leaving wasn’t just about his dedication to his tennis. They don’t train together before the tournament, tight line calls, the handshake… like come on, it ain’t rocket science. So give this man, Grisha, some breathing room here. He’s providing us content, doesn’t mean he has to divulge everything personal behind the scenes, even if it involves the other dude who was once part of the channel. Like come on now, he doesn’t owe anyone a video or an explanation Well played mate, nothing more difficult than playing a match like that with that much at stake

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thanks a lot man! The curiosity is understandable, I guess but there are obviously certain reasons why I've decided not to share the whole picture. Appreciate you understand that and thanks again for the support!!

[@marcelobarros5729]

It's understandable for fans of the channel to be curious as they created a connection to both of them. But definitely respect their privacy. It's his choice and we should respect it.

[@RickOwensHeelDrag]

IMO it makes you look bad, Grisha. What does areg have to lose? Nothing he doesn’t have a channel, Areg seems like stand up guy who hasn’t bad mouthed you (when he could have easily aired all the dirty laundry)

hey grish did you and areg fall out? The encounter was way less friendly than i would have expected!

Well... 😬

Thats sad

[@alastairtheduke]

Yeah sure looked like it

[@vananh3894]

noooo thats so sad it was so fun when they were still together 😭😭

[@johnrb9397]

Areg just lost an important match! 😤They are putting all their time, effort and money to achieve their dream. Whilst I miss Areg, had he simply smiled and laughed after losing that would have been weird. Also if he left to focus on his tennis to then allow a full video of the match on the same channel would be a bit hypocritical no? 😒 Well done Grish 💪.

[@TimelyAdventure]

Damn, was just thinking I missed Areg on the channel before I even saw this video. It's sad, there was a magic and light when he was on the channel, but you're doing great still and loving all the content. Congrats on the W

[@ChubbyAthletics]

I could feel the tension just from the minute of the match footage - sheeeesh. Glad you stayed composed, focused on your game, and got the W! Can't wait to see you play with that new gravity!

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thank you very much!! You're right 😬

Aah I have missed the Areg. Tough loss for him and congrats on your win Grisha. Keeping your ITF point was crucial. Hoping to see you both keep getting better results and progressing in your tennis journey.

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thank you very much!

[@tofufah]

I hope one day you two can be friends again. As a follower of this channel from nearly the beginning, it's sad but nothing lasts forever. I wish you both well.

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thank you very much! You're right tho, nothing does...

[@y0bama]

I still would like to hear what happened between you two to break up what I felt was a winning formula? Areg not allowing Grisha to film the match shows there is some bad blood here. Well done on the 'W' Grisha, must have been a mentally tense match. Good luck with the rest of the tournament.

[@marcelobarros5729]

That handshake at the end of the match was definitely cold. Sad to see. Hope they work it out at some point whatever it is that happened.

[@y0bama]

@@marcelobarros5729 Sometimes relationship just fall apart. But was it personal, different vision for the channel or financial? I'd like some closure lol

[@svlagonda7417]

Life happens. Not a big deal.

[@Druseth]

didn't he say at some point that areg just wanted to fully focus on his tennis rather than youtube as well?

[@azatyermegiyayev98]

May be Areg felt that blogging distracts playing tennis. Recording also might cause some extra mental pressure.

[@martinmigl]

Excellent channel!! congratulations. Areg is from Argentina, my country! I remember when I used to play tennis often, a top 20 tennis player liked my service technique, asked me several questions, the point was to use close stance in sevice only as an excersise to force a more vertical shoulder rotation, and use neutral platform stance. Its so simple that it makes sense.

[@notyourpgainstructor5139]

way to go grisha! so happy you won! obviously you would win since you are a gladiator

[@gladiatorstribe]

Hahahahah thank you!!

it is not!.....these things are never entertaining.....but this kind of curiosit, is almost like you grew up in a village :)) where people like to know every jucy private detail

[@Ajayi2003]

I think Areg just wanted to focus on playing itf instead of doing videos

[@allchannel1841]

@@Ajayi2003 no lol, look at the handshake, and also he didn't accept to be filmed like a normal opponent ! 😜

[@ratherbsleepin45]

My guess is that Grisha became the face of the channel and Areg didn't want to play 2nd fiddle. Or maybe Grisha slept w/ Areg's girl. That's always a plausible explanation, lol.

[@Coffeeslap]

Congrats Grish, but this was kinda sad to see mate. Good luck on your and Areg's endeavors

After about 8 episodes, I just realized you’re addressing “us” (your audience) as ‘Glads’. I had consistently been hearing ‘Lads’ , and thought it odd (what about the lasses?!) In any case, great channel - you do a fantastic job on these vids

Yess!! Hahahah I do! They do sound familiar tho 😂

[@andrer3764]

Hey Grish, love the videos. Was just wondering do you normally check your racquet bag? And do you normally travel heavy or as light as possible? Always curious to see what pros (that aren't high enough to travel inluxury) have to go through logistically! Thanks for sharing what you've shared! Great insight. Edit: also do you strong yourself when you get to tournaments or bring them strung? PS: hope it's not too much info if you'd be divulging that lol.

[@gladiatorstribe]

Depends on the flight. I prefer not checking it in. Though sometimes there's no other way. I always try to travel as light as possible. I bring my rackets strung half a kilo more 😉

[@andrer3764]

From the outside view Areg was Half of the Glads...My mother always told me don’t do business with friends...I’m sure $$$ was the major factor (along with being too close for comfort) they are both trying to achieve THEIR dreams. I don’t blame either of them for putting their best interests at the forefront. Wishing the best possible out come for both of you...I Want to see a redemption arch

[@-Munditimum-]

Great match. Seems like the whole experience so far with the rain, cancellations of the courts, nothing healthy to eat, meeting with an ex Glad... was just not the best. At least there were some good that came out of it and it seems like it kicked out all the not so good points. Sad to see that Areg's formula didn't workout for the channel. Hope everything works out for him and maybe one day you guys can meet at a much higher level as comrades rather than competitors. But for now, well done Grisha! Cheers! M

[@gladiatorstribe]

Yep, you're right, a lot of small negative thingies but all good. Thanks a lot for your feedback! Really appreciate it!

[@shipwreck8847]

I don't think it had anything to do with Areg's formula. In real life, a lot of motivators stem from money. This channel's ownership was the divide.

[@thalesnunes3557]

[@gladiatorstribe]

Definitely😂

[@pierroulechou]

idea why they fight: option 1: Money-Ownership fight, maybe some stealing, who knows. option2 : Realistic dreams fight : content focus, tennis focus, fight about what is realistic to achieve, Grisha hurt the feelings of Areg since hes struggling in tournaments and may have said stuff that cant be undone. option3(less likely) : Grisha behavior. On-off court. option4: it can be as simple as: Grisha planned bunch of stuff to do on the channel by himself, like practice with tennis brothers, Areg felt bad that hes not included in the content and decided he want to focus on his own stuff, * you dont want to include me, youll not have me at all , see ya *
