"Servebots Are Miserable To Watch" 💀: Reilly Opelka On 'Servebots', Tweeners & American Tennis

[@williamcombis4836]

It's great that he has a sense of humor about it and doesn't take the hate some of the public have about his style of play too seriously. He is anyway probably the most entertaining of the "bots" to watch.

[@janflorenciano4787]

@@michelegavelli2479 yeah I mean Raonic was actually top 3 (I know, Rafa and Roger were injured, but anyway It's a great accomplishment) and he's one of my favourite players. I always thought Opelka would have a similar career like Isner, but now I'm starting to think he'll have a similar career than Milos or Anderson, who also has a great career with 2 finals of a grand slam (and I think he could have won one if he wouldn't had Nadal or Nole in the finals) And if Karlovic was 1,85 or less he probably never would have been a top 500 player.

[@joemiguel5202]

If we can be honest, some serve bot matches can be boring to watch. Ace after ace until you look at the phone and match is over. But it doesn’t happen all the time, depends on the circumstances such as if we get a good returner turning the match into a battle of the wills. But I think the reporters were not malicious on asking the question just pointing out on what makes great tennis matches or in this case bring more “entertainment” However, should it be banned? Absolutely not, Tennis is a sport that regards skill, mindset, and physical aspects. Some people have better attributes. In this case, Opelka was gifted with a great serve. He shouldn’t be told to serve “slower” for the opponent.

It’s really nice to hear from this guy. Thoughtful, articulate and from my perspective a young guy blessed with an inordinate height advantage but cursed with the disadvantage of that height but possessed with the wisdom and work ethic to be willing to put in the hard miles to overcome the disadvantages. . Changing direction, low balls, injury potential, balls hit at him. Etc. Reilly really appears to be on a quest to build and refine his game and fitness to a very complete level. It’s obvious he’s not going to be satisfied with the big serve and first strike style of play that we’ve seen from the almost 7 ft tall players so far. I’ve watched this guy play grinders and hang with them from the baseline for hrs and prevail. Just like Diego Schwartzman has risen to the top echelon of today’s players in spite of his height disadvantage I’m looking for Opelka to have a big breakthrough slam soon. Finally, his behavior and attitude on the court plus the other traits I’ve mentioned make him a great role model for the young boys I coach. GO REILLEY!!

[@RandomRawrrr]

After watching more of Opelka’s press conferences, I’ve started to become a fan. He’s very reflective and down-to-earth on everything he says and does. I like the commentary on the state of American tennis. They are definitely being unfairly compared to an era that was impossibly good. The media and we as fans need to get out of this mindset of always comparing the newer generation with the great accomplishments of the past. Not every American player can win 14 slams like Pete did. Or even one slam like Roddick, especially with the insane depth of the men’s field nowadays. Everyone works their asses off and strives to make their own unique mark on tour, we can’t take that away from them by constantly comparing them to legends of the sport.

His self awareness, humility, and how he doesnt take himself seriously makes him the only servebot I like. Although its still atrocious how a wood chopper like him can beat an artistic shotmaker like Tsitsipas. Tennis if a flawed sport.

[@gautama_]

Artistic shotmaker? I think that term would be a better fit for other players. Tsitsipas has zero variety against players that offer something different. He plays in the exact same way and expects to win. Good forehand, average backhand that's getting exposed and is not near the level of other OHBHs on tour. There's a reason why he has such a hard time against "servebots". Also doesn't help him when he's prone to bitch fits midway through the match. Opelka is not like other bots

[@diegosotomiranda4107]

Tsitsipas its not that smooth btw, only His fh when he Is on, His bh Is inconsistent af, he can make awful mistakes with the bh, volleys are not that great, slice and sidespin non existent, good serve but nothing extraordinary, lack of variations, He moved well and can hit fast shots, but everything else its not that great

[@DepthCharge01]

Two things. While one may not enjoy watching "Servebots", the thing is that they are a necessity. Hitting such serves does force the competition to try to become better. It allows the top returners to also shine. As for the media, I can agree that they are too harsh. There's this sense of impatience for the next great player from the US, due to past success. What they don't understand is that aside from the game evolving, is that they also contribute unnecessary pressure onto players.

[@diegosotomiranda4107]

Thats my take in this, "servebots" are part of the variation to the sport the same with "pushers", the contrast between a great server and a good returner makes special matches, i agree 2 servebots playing eachother its boring specially in fast courts, but at the same Time 2 pushers or heavily baseline style can be a snoozfest when every point last 20shots specially in Clay

[@tenniswilliam]

The problem with US tennis is not the athletes. Their potential is muted because they mostly grow up on hard courts all of which dictates a power game. Clay court players out of Europe and South America learn a wider range of skills and develop better strategy and better patterns since the power game does not work so well on clay. Their defence is much better. They also develop more patience and strike when the point is more obvious. Clay court skills transfer better to hard courts but not the inverse. The new style of play that has evolved in the ATP that now dominates comes from red clay court culture. American tennis will continue to suffer especially on the ATP because it has a foundation on hard courts. On the women's side the Williams sisters have done well with the power game but that is changing as more WTA players are opting to emulate the ATP style of play. Coco Gauf is rising on the WTA but she grew up on green clay surfaces in Delray. I think US tennis will have limitations until red clay gets discovered.
