[@devinwest4726]

Bro I love your channel there’s such a lack of channels that are covering tennis like you do! Keep up the quality content!!!

[@isabellasmith8377]

I totally agree! Plus his voice is soothing and not irritating

[@dadsfreetimeclassicgaming1220]

Yeah I agree too. On top of that it's awesome because he covers both women and men!!!

[@ReuvenF957]

Shelton has the right to scream. Tennis is probably the hardest NON-contact sport.

[@a2casius]

Surely the biggest joke is not using Hawk-Eye for challenges at the French Open 🤣🤣🤣 PS. Great video. Subscribed.

[@Kaylbee]

I've heard it's cause Hawkeye has issues with clay courts. That was a couple years ago, so it could be fixed now, but like some other tournaments they should have those slow motion cameras for challenges.

[@a2casius]

@@Kaylbee Good points

[@9bit927]

I've done MMA and Tennis along with a handful of other sports at a casual level, tennis is the hardest sport I've ever played without combat involved. 1v1 sports will always be the most mentally challenging, and the technicality you need is next level.

[@pac0re]

Yep, its crazy demanding technically which is why even the greats lose their mind in rage for making a simple mistake.

[@nihilus1626]

thats why ill always have more respect for individual sports like tennis, mma, f1, etc. than team sports. if youre ever in a mental pit during a game, you can always rely on your teammates in team sports. Step on a tennis court, into the ring, or onto the f1 track, its just you and your opponent(s). Nothing else. Feeling frustrated? Gotta deal with it yourself. And lets not talk about the technical skill needed for these sports. Not that football or soccer aren't technically sound sports. But you can't just sub yourself out for a benchwarmer when things get tough.

[@Teddy_Gautier]

19:11 That whole description of Ugo Humbert and his game is one of the reasons I am so glad I subscribed to this channel The French chef really HAS been cooking!! 👌🏾👌🏾

[@bojack3827]

Fabulous recap of the matches. Enjoyed watching that!

[@Courtside_Tennis]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@thewanderingcardinal]

The word “hardest” is pretty vague but MMA and Boxing are definitely the most dangerous sports, no argument there. But the amount of matches a tennis player has in a year on top of the travel, it takes a toll on the mind and body. Tennis players have to think long term, so they can play as long as possible and as many tournaments as possible. Overall, I’d have to agree with Big Foe.

[@molybdaenmornell123hopp5]

Free solo climbing? Caving? People keep thinking of more ways to nearly get killed. Let's not pretend it's special. Maybe we need to relax a bit.

[@90oidualc1]

14:41 Rublev - Bublev 💀😂

[@takeyourtime3328]

Rublev did say in russian: "Te dibil" translated "You are a fool".You can hear it in the video.

[@Jalleur14325]

I think tennis needs to get much tougher and crack down on abuse like this. Rublev collected 120k in prize money and had no ranking points deducted...and then there's all the foul abuse Kyrios used to deliver. He should have been much more penalised.

[@lostchild0122]

With Rublev's appeal successful, I think it worked out exactly as it should have. Defaulted the match for his behaviour, but kept his earnings and points for making it that far into the tournament. He didn't scream in anyone's face in his previous matches, he worked hard, and then he demonstrated a complete lapse of control, common sense, and decency. You can't behave that way, and bluntly, game and point penalties aren't real consequences. He could still win the match, at which point the consequence is meaningless. Match default was the correct call.

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Thank you so much for this an amazing video.👍

[@imalwaysright]

I need the backstory on the Zverev handshake. Altmaier is a fellow German!!

[@josippo]

Nothing special, Zverev was always a bad loser against players that he thinks are much worst than him. Like once against Ćoric then he said : I should not lose anymore against players of his level. Despite being way down in h2h so imagine what he thinks after losing to Altmaier for the first time.

[@sergiuurzica8210]

Keep The work! I love these type of videos

[@MergeManny]

14:41 Ah yes, BUBLEV. What a player with potential

[@gabrielc6252]

maybe one day he will grow up

[@edleung4046]

To me Rublev's action was inexcusable, especially now a player can stop and challenge. If he was 100% sure the ball was out, why didn't he just do that?

[@marcosdoyter7460]

Your channel is really cool. Good rythim and very informative.

[@izzyd486]

love the content! they are better now, but 80 90 the game was much more colurefull

[@orchidpanda2253]

Smartest tennis channel hands down. This is the ONLY tennis channel I subscribed to. None of the fakey fake, vapid, corporate TC stuff. As for Rublev controversy - that default was coming, he was out of control for 2-3 weeks abusing umpires, linespeople, etc... He's a fan fave but I'm all for ATP and WTA putting their feet down on abusive behavior (Zverev, Serena, Kyrgios...). Also, corporate money has been ruining tennis for years already and Saudi money is just the next stage of this -- so Imma just enjoy tennis now while it's still decent until it all becomes a corporate dumpster fire.

[@leozebiosthor6242]

Andy Roddick said something interesting about Rublev's default... He had already won a couple of matches in that tournament, shouldn't loose all his prize money.

[@Quinopy]

It's the point of a default. Making sure noone risks light heartedly being defaulted.

[@labynoe]

Tennis is like fighting without the combatants knocking each other upside the head. The offense and defense of both sports are similarly entertwined, and singles tennis has the same "mano a mano" vibe as a fight. Thankfully, there are WAY fewer concussions in tennis, which is why I play it, rather than MMA!🤣

[@tinycuisine6544]

Boxers don't box in competition every day! I agree that tennis is one of the hardest sports on the body. Two broken menisci here.

[@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi]

Boxing training alone makes it impossible to compete every day. Also amateurs often box on consecutive days week in week out.

[@vincentrahal9767]

Fine Rublev but let them play. The fans got punished too. Spectators should get their money back.

[@dadsfreetimeclassicgaming1220]

8:18 I think that if they have thousand level tournaments over there. If the women feel like they're being treated poorly they should be able to opt out without being fined. I think thats how it works. It shouldn't be like Indian Wells where women have to eat the fine if they don't want to go there specially if they've had a traumatic experience.

[@glasgowisgoingtobethere9963]

[@martinstoykov6026]

Make a video about Grigor dimitrovs recent form. As a Bulgarian I am really hoping to see it. Love the videos.

[@belphegor9161]

Talking incessantly about everything without a real topic amounts ultimately to nothing. This is a haphazard kaleidoscope of well-known facts, gossips and opinions. What is the rebellion we are witnessing...???

[@AGBWBREH]

Love the video! Just wanted to point out though (6:05) that there are definitely other sports where players apologize for get a favourable fluke. Snooker comes to mind immediately, I'm sure there are others.

[@couch9416]

Badminton is another

[@AGBWBREH]

@@couch9416Nice one!

[@takeyourtime3328]

Rublev did say in russian: "Te dibil" translated "You are a fool".You can hear it in the video.

[@aryusure1943]

I play tennis and I agree with you. Fighting sports are way harder than tennis. Contact sports like american football, hockey or rugby, to name a few, are in this category of the toughest sports out there as well. And I try running non stop for 90 minutes in soccer. We could add to the list cycling also. I don't think Francis Tiafoe is ready for the Tour de France just yet. ;) But tennis is as you describe it. Technically and mentally demanding to say the least. And at it is pretty tough on the body also, particularly at the pro level, but way down the list of the toughest sports in my humble opinion. I would reconsider if all points were 40 shots rallies though and all matches lasted 3 hours or more. Pickelball? Not for me for as long as I can play tennis. ;)

[@CTC_Tennis_Clips]

"try running for 90 minutes in soccer" yeah, i've never heard of 6 hour tennis matches. "we could add cycling to the list" a tennis player can cycle a cyclist can't play tennis do not even COMPARE american football and tennis. rugby is obviously harder physically but mentally its literally see ball get ball pass ball it is very clear you have never touched a tennis racquet at a good level

[@CTC_Tennis_Clips]

not to mention "soccer" players are frequently walking with a 15 minute break in the middle

[@aryusure1943]

@@CTC_Tennis_Clips I have never heard of tennis players having concussions. Have you genius? Tennis is a very tough sport, no doubt about it. It's tough on all the joints for sure. And you need to be in very good shape to play at pro level, no doubt about it either. But the "hardest"? No f... way! When Tiafoe does a marathon or cycle a day at the Tour de France give me a call. But if we talk about mental toughness then we may have a conversation, and even then I'm not sure tennis would win the day.

[@CTC_Tennis_Clips]

did you read my comment or pretend to do it? i literally said rugby is PHYSICALLY harder than tennis@@aryusure1943

[@user-qz3qd3ly7b]

i do like hawk eye though

[@stevewaters7559]

Hard to say tennis is the hardest sport. But it is undoubtedly the COOLEST sport. Everybody looks amazing. Men and women.

[@tobiasgoldman]

Technically most difficult maybe, and mentally too, but not physically, no way.

[@stevenreeves9092]

Also, the issue of incredibly bad calls by line judges us being missed and not addressed! !!!

[@lellamas2778]

Loudly celebrating - as annoying as it is for the loser - is fine. People can hate him - thats fine too. It's preferable to gameswomanship (or men) of extreme grunting/screeching/yelling every single shot - but in practice - there's no such noise? This is CHEATING. Purposeful.

[@tennised2283]

Tennis was fine for 150 years without electronic line calls. The difference is the players, not the officials. Screaming in a line judge's face is enough to get you tossed even if he was screaming compliments. No class or breeding with today's players; thanks, Mac

[@nordattack]

Professional Tennis is a very hard sport and very physically demanding. But another sport that is even harder than Tennis, though less physically demanding, is Golf. And as far as difficulty of the sport is concerned, I would rank Professional Bowling up there as well.

[@MeLikeTennis]

I agree with tennis being the hardest sport. They say golf is, but honestly. The golf ball is stationary on the ground. Tennis balls come in different speeds, heights and spin. Me being a tennis coach, the average person steuggles eitht the sport BIG time. Badminton, table tennis, pickle ball, basketball, soccer, you can make something out of it without much coaching. To string a rally of 5 shots, requires alot of practice and talent together in tennis. The argument that MMA is the hardest. Its the most brutal and life threatening. But its not hard cauae everyone can throw punches and kicks and hurt their opponent quite efficiently. The average untrained person could not make anything resemble a watxhable tennis game like the pros do.

[@panospasial33]

Santiago final?

[@ps-bi2sr]

Great channel! As far as the controversy of Ruble's dismal, wasn't Serena de'd for the same behavior at the US Open at one time? Once a player attempts to intimidate a Linesperson, how are they to continue judging without bias? They can't. Rublev has kept it under wraps for a while, but boy when he blows, watch out!

[@canadianformal7564]

We have the tech in place and it would speed up play get rid of line judges in all tournaments

[@couch9416]

6:05 badminton

[@RYANLU728]

The supervisor from Dubai really sucks. This is a 500 events bro not a challenger tournament

[@M4551kt]

You should experiment narrating one tournament (atp and wta) at a time and insert off court news in the middle. Drop two or three videos like that and compare metrics. I say this because tennis jas many names every week, so simultaneosly narrating all can get confusing (at least to me)

[@kingoftennis94]

This might sound strange to the tennis fans watching this video, but is this guy the same as the fireship channel host?

[@michaelthomas366]

I've been around the game for over 50 years and none of this is new.

[@tameimpala37]

If Rublev cannot see that he is totally at fault here, he is more of a nutjob than I initially thought.

I am in love with your content. But why don't you make a gc to encourage tennis more among the fans. Maybe WhatsApp or Telegram, but it will help all of us to connect and discuss tennis more. How about if we all give it a thought?

[@chaust_]

i don’t think there’s any chance this saudi money goes to paying players more and especially not at the grassroots level. i have a feeling the vast majority will go to top level execs at the atp. they’ll keep lining their pockets and the smaller players will be lucky if they can get scraps

[@dadsfreetimeclassicgaming1220]

6:26 I think the complaint against Shelton celebrating is because he's black or biracial or whatever. Goes back to the Arthur Ashe video where he says that John mcenroe is privileged because he can have emotional freedom. Also remember when Taylor dent was in the booth complaining about Jo wilfeid tsongas match winning dance. It usually only comes in the play when the player is a black dude. I'm sorry to say that. People will complain that black people are trying to turn tennis in the basketball and all of this crap it's ridiculous. We know that Shelton has at least some black in him so of course when he has energy like that people are going to complain. It sucks. Sheldon makes tennis enjoyable to watch.

[@DiabloTommaso]

Arrogant players can shut the hell up. They are not punished enough

[@ethanliu6911]

well, in table tennis you also always apologize when you are lucky

[@ethanliu6911]

but yeah the point is really valid

[@Mzee1084]

I remember the criticism young Nadal, and particularly young Hewitt would get for celebrating too hard when they would win points. I think it is ok to show a little more when winning some epic points, or critical games in the match, but it should be more measured when it is not one of these points such as a quick fist pump. Shelton overdoes it sometimes in my opinion, and especially when celebrating his opponent's mistakes. His phone celebration when winning a match is also classless in my opinion. Tennis is a more intimate sport with your opponent, and so shouldn't have too much flamboyance of celebrations out of sportsmanship.

[@isabellasmith8377]

To be fair to Alex, it might be better to spell it as The DIMON for obvious reasons

[@oliviertwist4955]

Regarding "organic interest", since when rainbow alphabet people have organic interest in tennis? And, what makes them be deciding voice in tennis given their miniscule numbers in the society and in tennis as a whole?

[@abradfordajb]

I will restrict myself here to ONE comment only ..... do away with human line judges! The line calling tech has arrived full bore, and has totally established itself as close to 100% reliable as possible, even to the extent of replacing the prior Hawkeye replay challenges with real-time calls. It's high time to implement this tech in ALL tournaments, INCLUDING all clay court tourney's. It's totally ridiculous to have chair ump's called out repeatedly to look at little marks on a court and to get into verbal scruffs with players over a couple of centimeters. "Tradition" has weighed heavily in this sport, which also includes the reluctance of Wimbledon and Roland Garros to implement 5th set tie breakers, with Wimbledon finally compromising with a sort of "cop out" solution. Everyone, players and fans alike, simply want accuracy in line calls so we can eliminate all the subjective flack and get on with the match. Let the passions play out in the strokes, not in the verbal abuse.

[@Simon-zl6ek]

My objective opinion on the saudi situation is that it is true that that country is far from perfect morally but if we're gonna hold them accountable then we shoukd also hold the U.S accountable for its active g€n0cide of the palestinians. If we're boycotting saudi arabia out of "morals" then we should shame the us too otherwise we're hypocrites.

[@pooolish334]

I think Rublev should be punished for that action, but not defaulted for it. Unsportsmanlike conduct point penalty, a fine and that's it. But a default was too much, it's like getting a death sentence for stealing a Twix bar at the grocery store.

[@thoukisth]

If Sheldon but half of the energy it takes for him to celebrate so loudly he would be winning more ... It is absolutely disrespectful yelling and howling like that and it shows a serious lack of character

[@me_yes_its_me]

bro is just hype don’t diss self motivation

[@hangonaminute]

Ben Shelton is not yet mature. He is a good person and an exceptional athlete. But his over-enthusiastic celebrations, if not obnoxious, do come across as cringe. If you revel in the battle, then celebrate the opponent who made the fight so satisfying.

[@kchuk1965]

He payed college tennis. Those kind of raucous celebrations are part of that culture. It seems out of place on the pro tour

[@ScobedRobed]

Tennis is not the only sport to have a culture where you apologise for winning a point if you're lucky, try every single other racket sport, actually, pretty much every sport. This self congratulatory attitude perpetuates the idea that tennis exists in this middle/upper class snob 'we're special' sports bubble and to be honest it kinda checks out.

[@Jackiemycat]

Shelton… not so much. USA thing sorry

[@Official.tadiwa]

It’s called white bias (Rublev)

[@conorfarrell9116]

[@user-ll7eb9yd5d]

Rublev situation - IF he deserved to be defaulted, then what about Fils doing the same like 10 times longer and actually using certain words while getting away with a point penalty or numerous other meltdowns up to Serena literally threatening to line umpire? Btw, now we know that the ukrainian-surnamed Kazakh line umpire lied and Rublev was deducted to just losing a match fith a fine for code violation. As to Saudi Arabia deal solution? Get rid of rainbow terrorist stuff altogether and elevate actual sport instead of investing in woke propaganda.

[@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi]

If you can't appreciate the technique and skills of combat sports then you shouldn't have an opinion on them. MMA is a much better sport than 90% of the drivel out there, those are real athletes with special abilities.

[@Propagandamouth]

You can literally hear Rublev screaming and insulting the line umpire in Russian. To be honest, "debil" (what he screamed initially in his "debil, out, out, how" rant) isn't "cussing", but it is an insult. So i have no idea what you're talking about, it's on all the videos.

[@taopaille-paille4992]

Thanks for the information

[@Ruskieit]

Bro, first of all, there isn't any need to see VIDEO evidences for a referee to take a decision, not even a default. There is not in any sport, except for specific rules introduced over the years: hawk eye in tennis, challenges in football, TMO in rugby, VAR in soccer.. but in general, for "normal" decision the refs or the audience are not required to see video evidence. They decide on their own and that's because they are supposedly "impartial judges". Also, it would be difficult to have "video evidence" for cursing. Even if in this specific case you could have, that's not general, and laws are made to be general. Second of all, and most important, it wasn't just "some guy" that showed up and said he cursed: it was a line judge, so: an official. And since official are, guess what, officiating, their words are worth more than some random guy spectating the match
