You don’t get it. Whatever

Conveniently left this part out

Of their 59 meetings, 27 matches have been on hard courts with Djokovic leading 20–7, 28 on clay with Nadal leading 20–8, and 4 on grass where they are tied 2–2.

Take away French and really anything on clay and he’s considered an all time great but not in the running for GOAT.

Overrated. Next.

I deal in Grand Slam surfaces. Clay is a gimmick. Grass is as well but not quite as much.

Djokovic - Alcaraz playing in the semis right now, on Tennis Channel.  First set to Djokovic, 6-3, but it looks like it's going to be a really close match.

[Pedro Cerrano]

Insane that NBC isn’t airing this on their main channel

[Nigel Tufnel]

Alcaraz wins the second set and is looking really good.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Looks like Alcaraz is cramping...

[Nigel Tufnel]

Djokovic wins the third set 6-1 while Alcaraz can barely move.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Alcaraz only wins one game after cramping, and Djokovic end up winning easily in 4 sets.  But those first two sets were some of the greatest tennis ever played.

Alcaraz looking like he may take this Wimbledon Championship. Stud.

Watched the semis with Coco along with Alvarez/Medvedev. While I feel like I've come a long way in appreciating women's sports, I'm not sure the difference between the genders is any more apparent than in tennis. Like watching a totally different sport.

That said, best of luck to Coco tonight!

[You Play to Win the Game]

How about Medvedev last night? Know he’s no slouch at #3, but damn he schooled the hell out of Alcarez. I was surprised.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Great response from Coco so far after some early adversity.

Coco Gauff - US Open Champion. What a tremendous performance.
