hmm mmm
0 am from
figures for joining us
for this the as advertised sold out times talk about with john mcenroe
a the free association whatever comes to mind a throw some stuff out
your further I won't give it a try raffi on the DAW first thing after
are you first thing off the top of my head
a strong for
for New York City Mayor Anthony Weiner
total joke
Chris Evert I Chris Evert the
perfect
the hit song by scandal
goodbye to you greatest song ever written the
you favor New York City restaurant to i get a free meal if I say this
you do Rosa Mexicano America currently here for
favorite player to watch currently I would say
is Novak Djokovic
than in all of history
olive history doesn't company most beautiful player to watch
Roger Federer
when you start comparing players throughout history
sports fans love to do it although it is sort over
frail discussion because it's so hard to go across generations of course that
technology equipment evolves the style of play that
surface they're playing on give but if you could this room in eight fours
little bit
players have your generation playing against guys today
how'd that go agree do great
yeah now I i think that board was our
generations nidal great athlete extremely fast
serve a combination thereof nidal on clay and Joe give its his defensive
skills
so I think athletically that he was right there is a matter fact I think
he's fasten any one of them
in a foot race we played with wood racquets so it's almost impossible sir
compare
actually how we would do in a sense I'm I think Jimmy was the ultimate fighter:
so I think it's hard to say the Jimmy Connors can match up against anyone on a
given day in
and do well at least some other time I'm
Yvonne was so you're having dinner with Jimmy later right on it so you know
you're gonna be
going on a big sure are you don't believe that the right
GB NYG actually I don't think
will be having dinner real soon but we do have a lot of respect for each other
so as you get older you realize that I think that
no clearly we made each other better players
and I think that we became better people at the end of the day
as well partially because we weren't
going at it so hard that we are forced to improve
and partially because we started freaking out when we're playing each
other we had her
realize we better start improving its human beings still a little bit even
though I think part of the
craziness people in mind I think people in a way miss a little better that now
the so the personality in the game why this
was a thing well it's missing because I'm
there's probably a few reasons but what are the main ones is that I think they
felt like the inmates started running the asylum
Jimmy myself in the stars the word things are getting a little out of
control
my dad always said to me a lot you can say anything you are as always you know
cerska said the Mikes much closer
so I did a pretty good job for a while with
but then it started going overboard in looks admittedly worsen it
I think it actually years although it's not the greatest thing for the umpire
this game berated
but I'm sure they're on the soccer field or a football fields it said iraqi the
not saying hello how are you
from but I am I think it's
gone too much the other way in an individual sport when you don't have a
team to root for I think you do need assertive
have stuff learned third serve have a some sort of understanding that the
person know a little bit
a rooting interest you like honors you don't like him you like me you don't
like me
board was great to see it in or about Amy Vaughan was
you know you could the
who had he was like you've I'm drugo in rock
are there any emergent a
strategic course stylistic changes that you're seeing that
you know over the next few years tennis fans might see play out
the strings has become a big issue a big
you could say problem certainly it's
you what's you know when with the other word I thought when you said I was spin
because I've never seen a guy hits p.m. the wear of in 2000 spin I actually
practice with them
want one time I've only practice with them it was
before the semifinals have the Wimbledon in 2008
he was playing a righthander I'm left-handed
a and he had his agent call mine cause for both
with the same company and said hey okay because he
we actually talked about playing the US Open doubles me
which I deeply regret I didn't dare I thought the guy was like a
why would I play with Rafi novell so they are smart I was right
admittedly was seven but thats I but
by PR we got the chance to go out there and right away the intensity that he
played with he was sort of like a bigger stronger version in it
as intensive versus connors in practice
you know first ball he said he feels like he's about to take your hat off
in this now in a span that cuz I try okay so they are given that left the
slicing give them something volley in show on the old school in
it was unbelievable the that the
and now know the velocity and also the amount of rotation he got on the ball
it's something that
I the ultimate nightmare for me
at my best would be to play in a dollar and collect
that would be the ultimate the last thing in the world that wanna do
youth unless I I mean that would be the most difficult scenario for me to
like us they always say well how would you do against these great players I
don't think
I'd like to think that I could do reasonably well good portion of the time
I mean maybe I could be Roger 30 to 10 times or maybe I can beat Novak a
certain amount of times at a ten but if I played the dollar and clay I think I'd
be like one out of a hundred
maybe 0 now you're running a tennis academy mentioned
when there's a kid misbehaving throwing his racket around on the court
what do you say you know amazingly enough it's very rare that that happens
I mean disappointingly with you actually
to be fair I didn't start losing its ours probably about eighteen
until I realized they could lose it and
to some extent I I have no one to blame but myself
I was I yes I was emotional when I was
got got into things at times but not very often is a junior
it's sort of like bob was also my head
when I played a guy in the French Open filled their
and there were some horrendous calls and I kept
giving them two amino I was like I can take this is literally these balls with
this much a mistake and they were given it to me and I gonna I
that's not the way we do it and so he put his arm around me as soon as he sits
on this the pros now
you know if you wanna complain about summers
save sums wrong and i notice he and given me any calls
that was the other part so it started that way to say how can this thing works
or work out the way Arthur Ashe so it's at all the calls would even out I say
bullshit
I I so
then all the sign I it was almost half
a lark whatever a total irony I played filled then the corners Wimbledon it was
a first match I was on the stadium court court warm
and was basing the first time that a question or call or so I recall
and I'm when he was in the area
by Guy he we I
question a call and I actually I took my racket I lost the first set I
was gonna snap this thing into I and they started booing me
you know the crowd on white what the hell going for
you know I'm the one that lost a set I couldn't figure out why they were upset
so just a tactic the racket
all the way to my side they see if they'd react to that pool
with her I thought that was the greatest I
that I thought maybe this sports pretty good after
I mmm
it
mmm
