2 Americans talking about a sport they have no clue about just so their show can live up to some label sports show which covers everything

 

These two are paid to argue with each other. A claim like this helps spark the argument. Doesn't surprise me one bit.

 

So did you set up this pointless thread to cover up Srdjan’s disgraceful interview?

 

This is an Emmy award winning show that is well known in North America. And is yet another example of how far Federer fans will go to spin the truth. Your silence is obvious support to the claims.

 

Obvious trolling for clicks/views lol. But it does also continue to spread this insidious propaganda among casual sports fans in the US. Of course suddenly Wimbledon and US Open are worth the most, of which Federer has the greatest combined total out of the Big 3. Meanwhile Nadal and Djokovic's best slams get degraded. It's like they want to even prevent there being any discussion of who might end up the greatest other than Federer.

 

Who cares about what two random American commies say? On other hand Nole's dad that's entirely another level of interest.

 

Never heard of them nor their show

 

"As a tennis player yourself, you know the most important majors are Wimbledon and the US Open."
“Wimbledon’s the big one!” countered Kornheiser.
“I thought the US Open was the big one? That’s what I think,” replied Wilbon, before saving himself somewhat.

amazing scenes

 

Deep state of tennis at its work.

 

Funny thing is that I think a pretty strong argument could actually be made for the AO being the hardest to win.

The main reasons being that it happens at the beginning of the season when players tend to be healthy and at their most fresh physically.

 

PTI is a good show but yeah those guys can be off when they start discussing football (soccer) and tennis.

 

Another Federer fan in denial. Nothing more.

 

Nobody knowledgeable respects these guys talking about ANY sport, much less one not-very-popular in the US.

 

He's not far wrong about the fact that there are no great young players. Every era has had great players at 20 or 21. Stefanos Tsitsipas seems to be the closest one.

These top 3 players are beatable at the slams, especially if some great young players came along. They have lost to much lesser than "great" players, but not very often.

 

Great show ... use to watch it a lot while I was living in US

 

Maybe we can simply the GOAT debate like this

Prime Federer beats prime Djokovic and prime Nadal on Grass most times.
Prime Nadal beats prime Federer and prime Djokovic on clay most times
Prime Djokovic beats prime Federer and prime Nadal on Hard courts most time

Head to head's and slam counts are skewered by primes not overlapping for the whole of their careers, injuries, comebacks from injuries, personal problems, older age etc.

Their general levels are so unbelievably close we are always going to split hairs and then argue over which split hair looks better lol, there's no conclusive answer to something wholly subjective imo.

 

Prime Djokovic beats prime Federer and prime Nadal on Hard courts most time

No, Nole is not even close beating Federer on hard, he hardly beats 38y old Federer, at his prime Fed would demolish Nole.

 

Isn't this the same guy who thought Serena would be a top 50 player on the men's tour? Yeah, pretty clear they don't know tennis.

 

Yeah I think I would be more likely to side with John McEnroe on this when he said Serena would be ranked something like 700 in the men's game. Even that may be too generous.

 

I doubt this guy has ever watched a tennis match in its entirety in his life, I love how black guy just completely shuts him down.

 

Just out of curiosity, does anyone outside America know these individuals? Why are we talking about them so much? There are literally thousands random idiots talking crap on TV about matters they don't have the faintest idea of any given day...

 

Yea but one can’t underestimate the American market and these guys are anything but random. Probably one of the most watched sports shows for years now and so what they say reaches a lot of homes. I am surprised none of the ESPN tennis crew has said anything.

 

I see ruins everywhere.

 

This feels like we’re discussing a ruins post from a random Djokohater in GM. Completely irrelevant and worth to move to Ruins if there’s nothing substantial else to say

 

regardless how it feels like for you it's still claims being made by an ESPN announcer, not a random nole hater on this board, so it is sanctioned by the network. why would you move it to the ruins then i wonder?

 

They’re idiots, period. Most sports fans in the US do not take them seriously. ESPN (and other networks) have loads of shows with more sophisticated and knowledgeable analysis of sports.

 

jah, sounds legit. move threads to the ruins where there are no sanctions instead of punishing the derailers in the first place.
this sad excuse of a board never ceases to amaze me, so just keep it up. good work.

 

Hilarious to keep on complaining without doing nothing or taking any inch of responsibility. If there’s something you want to criticise then there’s plenty of room to express your criticism. You can report posts, users or threads and we will see if there’s anything to do. Blaming all on the mods is just infantile.

 

“So get out of here on this. Djokovic is padding his record by beating old men like Nadal and Federer"

Nadal is only a year older than Djokovic?! Also Novak came up against the legendary Scottish warrior for a lot of his major wins so give him some credit.

 

 

I remember when PTI was somewhat respectable...somewhere in the early 2000s. Wilbon is a basketball guy and Kornheiser...I'm not sure if knows much about any sport tbh. But the main thing is ESPN has been milking this type of format in the last couple of years. It's all about debates and two (or more) people arguing with each other now. So people who know sports don't take it seriously anymore and just use it for entertainment.
