Hi Andy. Big fan of your show. Never commented before. Wanted to offer a little additional info on Iga's record. Since the beginning of 2022, Iga's record is 180 - 24, which is 88%. Her record against top 10 players during that time is 36 - 9 or 80%. Here is one I haven't seen mentioned. Since the start of 2022, she has entered 45 tournaments and has won 19 of them (8 on clay and 11 on hard courts). In other words, she has won 42% of the tournaments she has entered in that time, including 4 of her 5 grand slams, 1 WTA final, and 9 of her 10 WTA 1000 titles. And as you know, she just turned 23. She is not there on grass yet, but if she stays healthy, she will get there, just like her idol Nadal did.

I've been a decades long tennis fan and knowing Andy is doing live reaction to the draw, I don't even bother looking at the draw until this podcast. Love listening to Andy's live reaction and thoughts about matchups. Andy and Jon are great together. Continues to be my go to pod. Great job Andy and Team!!

Coffee Break Tennis is my personal favorite

This goes beyond being an entertaining tennis podcast and is just an amazing overall podcast.

Hey Andy, congrats on your Wimbledon (South Dakota) title! Can't wait to see your Roland Garros attempt!

Great review Andy, as always! I would have had Sabalenka winning Wimby if she wasn't injured. Just today, during the press conference, she said she can't serve and might even pull out. Hopefully, that's not the case, we shall see. So with Sabalenka being injured and Rybakina being ill, Gauff is probably the top favorite

I feel like Andy glossed over some interesting matchups in early WTA rounds. Since this is grass, there is so much scope for potential upsets. I personally don’t think Marketa is going to have an easy path to defend the title with many banana peels like Volynets even before approaching Iga.

especially Pliskova Schnaider - Schnaider literally just won Bad Hamburg and Pliskova is playing crap but he has Pliskova winning?

I just love the relaxed and fun manner in which these guys go through the draw but at the same time dropping great tips and information on the players. Great show as always.

Great showing us the draw and his fill ins as he goes!

35:10 I think Diana Shnaider deserves at least a mention and has quite the fighting chance to frustrate Pliskova and move her around the court. She won Bad Homburg and moved into the top 30 today. Up and down sometimes but plays the clutch moments very well. Tough spot in the draw.

@Vescilla

I think they might have recorded that before Bad Homburg and Eastbourne finals, didn't mention Kasatkina winning Eastbourne either. Also didn't replace Cocciaretto with Danilovic.

Ostapenko might beat Iga, 0-4 can get in your head!, but Tomljanovic won't be easy. She plays well on Grass, did beat her there in 21 and they had a tight match this year.

Love love love the draw shows. ❤

love these episodes!! 🎾

Watched this video today before seeing any results. And my word did Andy got the majority of his picks in the first round right for the men's draw. Having Shapo beat Jarry and a few other notable wins. Only big miss was on Michelsen

Berrettini will not have easy time with Fucsovics!

Andy you were my favourite when you were playing, which is why I first tuned into the podcast. I just love it. Wish there had been all this analysis and inside view of tennis behind the scenes earlier. Thanks All, great show 💖👏👏👏

Wow I never heard so much contention & standpoint from Roddick regarding this draw‼ His consensus can be applied to every Major! Bottom line there are matchups for every single player in the draws that give them trouble‼That means there's depth on both sides of the game now.

Thank you for adding chapters to be able to skip WTA or ATP hehe

Jon pls choose better lighting to make the viewing experience better for us. Thanks

Uh…I think everyone seems to have forgotten that Iga has added 10+ mph to her first and second serve. If you look at the match averages, she is faster on average than Coco with a far higher level of consistency and level with Rybakina now. Not saying she serves like Elena but I think people are going to be surprised, it’s why she is so dominant this year, that one fluke loss to Noskova aside. And her movement is a massive asset like Steffi’s was.

Very good points. Swiatek has basically led or been top 2-3 in most every positive service stat the last two seasons. That gets missed or glossed over cuz the general thinking is only players hitting the most aces/service winners are great, dangerous servers. But that thinking tends to neglect the high double fault counts and how important just hitting a high % of 1st serves & having a very solid 2nd serve are.

I've been waiting for this moment

Andy, you never cease to impress me. I am a certified Iga fan, she has always been unfairly analyzed to the point that most commentators make negative comments against her no matter the surface, to unsettle her and just coz they dislike her or they dislike her consistently beating their faves. BUT YOU, I take note of your comments why Iga is vulnerable on grass. What you said are all valid and well but fairly analyzed. However, I think her team and iga are built different and she becomes wiser and i believe she will win this year. And, so brave, smart and bold for you to still choose her despite her vulnerabilities on grass. Says a lot about how well you know tennis, and as as yoda of tennis, you know that Iga is a generational talent and cant be dismissed easily. She is just godly on clay and outstanding on hard but she just needs to get used to grass. Please reserve a podcast on the fairness and cleanliness of draws coz iga is the only ranked 1 player who gets the toughest draws every damned time. No less than iga says that, she gets draws tougher than when she was unseeded. How come, lower half always has no big hitters and they are all reserved in iga's draw. I think this draws can be manipulated and they really make things hard for iga. How many times has almost all say that iga always gets the toughest draws. What are the odds of that happening 99% of the time? I hope iga gets even better because they never make her breathe, and she thrives on that as her common draws TO MAKE HER EVEN GREAT coz she gets to face all big players.

Hey men!!! Congrats on the Shaw as always!!! I think the Italians could give you some surprises... I think you will start to get to know them better!!! Greetings from Italy ! ❤

Andy’s “I have one word for you. Sabalenka!” Was iconic

This is hilarious. Love this drama with the draw. Can't wait to see how it crumbles after the first week.

Think Sinner/Alcaraz will be a 4-5 set dandy, if Carlos does not get upset earlier. Think Sinner’s draw stacked. Not sure who Sasha will play before Novak. Think Novak has the easiest draw. If the knee really is incredibly healing - just incredible - I will take Yannik over Carlos in 4 & Novak over Sasha in 4 - then Nole over Yannik in 4. Think the Djoker’s Serve/Volley power placement & precision will carry the day if the mental focus is @ that Super-Djoker level (and knee stays pain-free/body stays high performance level). Thanx Andy-JW. Cheers, Milan.

Great analysis as always really enjoying your takes and picks but HOW did you not say the name Diana Shneider?!? I feel that's an oversight. She should beat Pliskova and could streak to 4th round and further. Pliskova Shneider is one of the picks of the 1st round matches....

Agree on Struff! Massive player and certainly capable on grass 🙂

Andy, for god's sake please coach JW on his LIGHTING. Clearly he needs help. 🤣

Suprised no one checked the math at 41:00 mark. 3 shots at 80% give you a 51.2% you’ll make all three.

Kasatkina's worst surface? This must have been filmed a few days ago.

Wertheim's draws are the absolute best, leave that man alone. I want his storylines!

Something tells me we won't be seeing these DRAW BREAKDOWN videos anymore lol

Andy's Zoolander impression is my Roman Empire

I think it is a very close match between Alcaraz and Sinner, but if you talk about picking NVIDIA, Sinner is the clear NVIDIA here, you cannot base your judgement on the last tournament result (and btw was on clay which is the best surface for Carlos) Sinner is 38-3 YTD, Alcaraz is 26-6, I mean there is nothing wrong having Alcaraz as your favorite, he's probably mine too depending on how they arrive to this match, but if you talk about Nvidia I feel like the comparison is more suited to Sinner than Alcaraz

Navarro lost 1st rd in Berlin but she was in the SF in Bad Homburg. Looked very good there. And that 1st rd loss was to Siniakova, not some also-ran. Also, I don't see Sabalenka being a real threat here if her serve is going to be as much of a problem as she has talked about. Maybe Andy knows s/thing we don't.

As a South African, I'm glad to say Andy was wrong about Lloyd Harris and Michelson! Time stamp 4 July. I'm hoping our SA contender can pass Shelton to the third round!

Regarding tennis I watched specifically that Bublik match and Andy was, unsurprisingly, right on the money..Bublik was 2 sets down at one point.

"Alcaraz owes a fruit basket to the tennis g-ds". He must have prepared that comment beforehand.

Interesting that Roddick picked Eva Lys into the 3rd round without any explanation but she’s made only one 2nd round at a major. Unsurprisingly she was taken out in straight sets in the first round.

Pity that Sinner and Alcaraz are same half of the draw given Joker may not be fully fit. Great opportunity for someone in that half of the draw. I think we'll see Korda, Draper or Hurkacz in the final.

Ай бұрын

is this the same Korda who was getting similar hype last year then went out in Round 1 to J. Vesely but this year he's got a shot at making the final? okay. With 99.999% certainty Draper and Korda will not make the Wimbledon final. Hurkacz has the game but not the mentality and can't play the big pressure points.

@flat6croc

Ай бұрын

@@_MrAvocado_ You're missing the point. If Joker's knee pushes him out, who are the seasoned Wimbledon finalists I'm overlooking in that half of the draw? There are none. Korda is a great all round player, Draper just won a grass tournament and has the perfect game to do well, Hurkacz has a great game for grass and is by far the most experienced in that half. The point is that if the knee turns out to be an issue early on, the last 16 in that half of the draw will have very few big names bar Hurkacz and, personally, I like Korda and Draper to do well. And if they do well, they won't have to beat any big player to get to the final. But feel free to list all the other obvious picks from that half of the draw. There's really only Fritz, and I'm not convinced his form is that great right now. Draper or Korda beating Fritz would hardly be a shock and that or Hurkacz is going to be their toughest test to get to the final. And they won't both have to beat Hurkazc.

Do the same breakdown for the doubles draw. It will make some people follow doubles and increase the popularity of heavily underappreciated doubles tennis

@abi6126

Ай бұрын

Yeah, that was an interesting choice ...

My fave player, Dimitorv!

Sabalenka either wins Wimbledon or withdraws before the 1st round.

At Roland Garros draw breakdown Andy devoted more time and analysis to pick winners of matches between non-elite players, which was interesting and added value to his analysis in general. Viewers could then follow results of those matches and see how those reflected the initial predictions. Andy got some really good picks there. This time he just breezed thru the non-elite matches and it looks like in some round 1 matches he didn’t care whom to pick as a winner just because this player doesn’t advance much further. To me this decreased the value of the show, because in round 1 and 2 it is actually more interesting to follow matches between more evenly ranked players.

Struff has a very tough 1st round in Marozsan. I would love to see Struff get to the SF

Just to confirm Muchova is playing she said her team told her dont put too much on the wrist the two matches she got was good and she will be ready for Wimby. So no disrespect to Paula but I got Muchova

No Andy, you are not crazy. I actually think, that even if Djokovic wins his 2-3 rounds in 3 sets, he will retire once something more difficult and longer occurs. He didn't play well this year and didn't have many opportunities to train for such a big event since his injury, he had no chance to rise the level. For me, there is no reason to believe he will be in SF. The final for me looks more like Sinner vs Hurkacz. Also, personally I don't see players like Michelsen, Nakashima, Sonego or even Khachanov and Zverev going so far in the competition.

Picking garin over Shang is diabolical... Shang in straight sets

Hard to imagine Djokovic going that deep in the draw this year. I have Zverev in the semis and perhaps the finals.

I've got Pegula to the final too, don't think it's crazy

Guys your show is great, ignore the haters ! I am a Sinner's fan, but I am never ever going to comment if you say something about Sinner. That's so stupid. Sometimes for some fans the sport becomes an obsession, you just got to ignore them. Gill Gross is getting S&%*t like that too. Ignore it, you're better than that !

I think Andy is right about Novak's 37 year old knee. It is NOT healed. I hope Novak proves us all wrong but I think Andy is right.

What's the story with your eye?

Against all ood I have a feeling that I will go far.

i think Zhang Shuai can beat Kastkina who must be exhausted after her title she has huge odds an i try it good luck

Still don't get why you picked Sabalenka in the finals when she couldn't really serve well.

Don’t lose sight of Alex DeMinaur

Iga is only in the game with a chance at Wimbledon until she plays a power player who is playing lights out not missing like a Rybakina, Sabalenka or Osaka. Doesn’t matter how well she plays on faster surfaces if they are on Iga will lose.

I like John Wertheim. And I love Coco. And I love Iga. But just no. Not a chance.

Poor Andy sabalenka exits the tournament before it starts and his pick is gone

I feel bad for Shapovalov. He is the most naturally gifted tennis player I've ever seen... and he's never won a major. His unforced errors kill him. I don't know what's wrong. Bad coaching. Not enough discipline. Shapovalov is kind of a Renaissance man too. He's a gifted musician and loves animals. Maybe he was never able to focus enough. I don't have an answer.
