Who Will Have A Way With Clay? 👀 🧱 

Im brazilian too,Fonseca is very good

I like fonseca but he is not ready yet, give him 2 more years

Yes,obviously

Yeah give him time. In his 8 clay tournaments this year he has lost to the world #417, 238, 121, 113, 100, 353, 225 and 188

@@brandonm8901 what about that run in rio... saw the kid play live, he hits the ball like a top 20 player.

Haha exactly what I was thinking :)

What did he say ?

Who rafa? That drama artist? 😂 He will run like a gazelle there in French open and olympics, just watch.

@@user-wd7ue1wd6rtrue that

​@@user-wd7ue1wd6ryep with so.e extras in his blood sure, why not

Yeah, but we need to see him play, he's pulled out of every tournament, clearly he's either playing mind games with opponents, or if he's genuinely injured- he won't be winning, as his body won't be able to keep up, let's see.

​@Slickk_007"Protecting his records" by not playing? Sounds like the flat earthtards😂

was looking for this comment

everyone thinks it didn’t ended up well between the two guys but they’re wrong, TENNISTV does posts on instagram or videos on YT where they only show spicy moments of the matches, so they did in that match in Indian Wells, wrong… Meddy didn’t see Holger apologize so he started acting like a child, then the umpire showed him e made clear the situation for the two and they gave each other a handshake like normal friends with Daniil apologizing for his behavior

It wasn't a fight. Meddy was being a petulant brat - his obsession with getting an apology for net cords is weird. Rune showed way more maturity. Rafa gets hit in the body at the net and he just turns around - next point.

​@@orchidpanda2253Nah, Meddy sometimes acts out but Rune is also self-aware he can be a pain in the ass, so they probably buried the hatchet right there. Guys like Stefanos are the ones who refuse to apologize usually. Rune is way cheekier but he does apologize eventually.

@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266 Nah, Stefanos did apologize to Rublev publicly and privately and idk what else he has to apologize for, definitely not to Kyrgios or Medvedev. Just admit you're one of those guys who hates Tsitsipas b/c he's talented and gorgeous... the other guys on the tour are, why should you be any different?

I agree

Absolutely

😂😂😂

True

Zverev 🤮🤮🤮

You're not him lil bro

ahh actually why does he need to chase Fed who reached 100 titles by playing 250s and 500s? His 103 titles are not even prestigious, it's always big titles that counts... If Nole wanted that, he could have played 250s all year round... its just another record for Fedal fans to put anyone but djokovic relevant

​@@Fraudkovicyour whole identity is based on Novak, get a life bruh

if Novak and Rafa are in clay form, it will be a split between them..

Couldn't agree more! 😎

@S lol

Nole can hurt the younglins more on clay and grass if he is playing well. I think Sinner will be the man to beat at USO though, and he will be specially menacing at Wimby, but so will Nole and Carlos.

@wak what has Novak done something in recent memory at MC

The past many years he hasn't been playing great before Madrid or Rome. I believe he and Alcaraz will be the main contenders for RG, but Alcaraz will be my favorite in Madrid.

Alcaraz is better than him on clay . And grass for that fact. I don't think he would've won rg if alcaraz didn't get injured

@@Fraudkovicbahahahaha

@@colethomas903it’s entire clay season! He owns rome won there so many times and won 2/3 last RG! Yeh not much haha MC is just one tournament and yes back in the day when he played more he was really good there too.

Also RG final where he almost beat Djokovic

he tried everything not to say alcaraz name in any question lol. sometimes you need to be humble and objective no matter what the question is.

@@rizzthebuzzer Just admit that he made you bitter 🤭🤭🤭

@@rizzthebuzzer I prefer him backing himself than false modesty and false humility. You think Alcaraz goes into RG thinking to himself, oh someone else is gonna win it? No, you have to tell yourself you can win it in order to be a real contender. And Rune is one of the top clay courters -- along with Alcaraz, Tsitsipas, Ruud, Djokovic.

Rune has more maturity than Medevdev,Medvedev just creates scenes unnecessary,during that match it was very small altercation but Medevedev unnecessarily created big issue out of it.

he could have won in 2022,the guy was a beast and till his injury it was still 50-50

@@TheGowshikanit wasn’t 50-50, he literally lost the first set

@@F-F01 watch the match ! it was one of the tightest set nadal ever played at RG,it went for 90 minutes and he lost by a whisker of a tie breaker ! And second set also went for 80 minutes for 6-6,that could have gone anybody's way,im a nadal fan but that zverev was on fire !!

@@F-F01 that dosent matter, it was 7-6, 6-6, and he was in a far better phisical shape than Rafa, so the chances were 50-50. Plus that you never know what can happen in a match

Yea I’ll think he will win a slam soon

Novak did well in Monte Carlo, winning it twice, and he was the one who stopped Nadal's dominance there in 2013. Something that cannot be said about Federer, for example, who has zero titles in Monte Carlo and has never beaten Nadal there

Lets gooooo

Yes let's root for the 250 vulture Casper ruud

except that Zverev is arrogant and Holger is simply passionate

@@alenciaga21 haha. hahahah. hahahahaahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you, I needed a good laugh.

@@tothelighthouse9843 Well if you would have spend time actually listening to Holger's interviews, hear how he is with fans in comparison to Zverev you wouldn't laugh. Holger is also not twice accused woman beater with a penalty order against him, so maybe don't compare these too

Almost like he never seemed on the brink of retirement multiple times in his career and came back super strong.

@@Ithilion lol nice one buddy

Rafa😂 that diva drama artist? He is fine, he just knows there are many players good on non clay surfaces who can beat him. So he is preserving himself and his image. As I heard or saw, he is practicing as of today at his academy too.. Just watch him at roland garros and olympics, dude will run like a gazelle. And rafanatics will hail him as the greatest competitor.

@@guruk Go take your pills.

@@Ithilion Nadal has been finished since the summer of 2022. You must be well aware of this fact. All he has been doing since last year's clay season is postponing his retirement announcement. Perhaps for business reasons

@Mikkelseiereistrup6406 to lose finals in masters 1000 and to Casper at RG

​@@colethomas903 exactly

What about Nadal? I think that he will crush everyone as usual.

@@AA-le9ls Really? Even Nadal doesn't believe it.

@@Charismaniac Well, Almagro believes it, and that's what matters.

Novak wont go full all out for a masters 1000 title on clay,he ll save hiimself for roland garos if a tough match were to occur

@thegowshikan agree

​@@TheGowshikanEven so don't see him winning. Best chance is at wimbledon but sinner will be a problem for him.

@@Blue-ik8ij Unless rafa comes back the way he is, i dont see any player out fox novak in RG,maybe zverev if he is that 2022 form or alcaraz ih decides to say right its this year RG ! but novak tactically outplays them in this surface

@@Blue-ik8ij Did you see him winning three GS and ATP Finals last year?

João will be better then Fils, not this year yet, but in the future im sure, the future will be Joao Fonseca and Mensik

@@_chillrain_ Well when I did the prediction Alcaraz wasn't hurt and could have played and now Sinner is hurt. Zverev played well in Madrid and still lost though. Very nice of you to comment :p

He just split with his coach of 5 years and has had a dismal season...Like u sad I hope he gets his MOJO back and ll need it quick

@Nostalgic14-zo3pk This was recorded in IW, I believe... 🤔 Goran said things were already off at the AO, I think. He definitely hasn't been the usual Nole we know! I have seen him practice now for MC and he's looking good 🙏

@@lc86_65 Oh ok I thought it was at MC but bro Nole mentions MC but may be like u said it might have been recorded earlier...I saw that practice match his FH was on fire which hasn't been this year...but just for the record I think he needs Nadal to have that motivation...Regarding Goran I think they had issue since the Davis Cup last year which Goran thought was unnecessary and he was right...That loss to Sinner seems to have taken its toll not just Physically but also Mentally

@Nostalgic14-zo3pk I think he does well at motivating himself with his own goals, irregardless of competition... but I guess he wasn't happy with DC loss and the disagreement with Goran. He may feel freer now and hopefully will play his best on clay and peak for the Olympics. I'd love to see him win gold and Wimby this year. I'd be happy for him, and I think he would be too if that's all he wins this year 😅🙌

@@lc86_65 If Novak wins Wimbledon and then wins gold in Paris, it will be a very good year for him even if he doesn't win another title

he's always been likeable off court. Media just likes to depict him as a villain, so they can fit the "new big three" vibes. He is pretty chill and has matured in the last year

@@alenciaga21 Well it's not the media for me, he's always just seemed super immature on- and off-court. Glad to see this

He needs to man, it’s confidence he lacks against the top guys

Especially at Rome with the home crowd behind him.

Slow down,let's see what is going to happen.

@arther lol

The guy hasn’t won anything on clay and some players are saying he will have the best clay court season, how is that underrated?

he is far from underated tho

He probably meant in RG, Carlos' fav surface is clay but he has won slams both in hc and grass but not on clay

Exactly , He WANT this more than anyone

And Zverev will win Roland garros

bsfr💀💀

Big z should prepare his ass for jail

@@devikuSoulIf he’s guilty

Ruud is a not a dark horse in clay come one ! Everyone knows how dangerous he is in clay

@TheGowshikan You are correct, but he hasn't had as much success in finals as he should. I'm hoping he actually wins a number of these, he's got the skills! 🏆

Not really humble from Eubanks. My guy is awful on clay. It would really be a surprise if he wins a match in Roland Garros.

@@janflorenciano4787 yeah maybe humble was the wrong choice of word, but I lke the self-awareness and ability to joke about it

hasn't really played well since last year's French

cerudolo didnt go much in the south american clay swing,maybe thats why

This video came out before Monte Carlo so there were question marks around Sinner, even though he's had some really good results on clay prior. Hey, don't take it too seriously, Tsitsipas was a 2x Monte Carlo champion and no one said a word about him. And look how wrong they were.

He made the semis at RG last year for the third year in a row (2021 and 2022 too). Plus he was undefeated on the Madrid Center Court until the final with Alcaraz where he barely got like 4 hours of sleep before playing the final. He's a really solid and definitely one of the best clay court players, I also was really surprised only Novak mentioned him. But he plays his best tennis when he's underestimated ;)

Sasha is so good, like why is everyone underestimating him bro

@@raspelly I don't know why either :( But it's always amusing watching commentators / people online write him off, but when he makes deep runs in tournaments, they're forced to eat their words. Hopefully Monte Carlo will be a good tournament for him

I think everyone knows Sasha is an amazing player, but the fact that he is so amazing and hasn't won a slam speaks volumes about his poor mentality. Couple that with how many times he's lost matches despite having huge leads, and it's easy to understand why people don't bet on him.

@@user-oc8rt5gr1w It's just my opinion, but I don't think he's mentally weak at all. If he was mentally weak, he wouldn't have turned around the Olympics semi, being down 6-1 and a break against a top form Djokovic who'd just won 3/3 Slams that year and was pursuing the Golden Slam, nor would he have returned to tennis and at such a high level after such a physically and mentally traumatic injury. So I really don't think there's an issue with his mentality. I personally think most of the reason for his unexpected losses is his Type 1 Diabetes, I feel like it shouldn't be overlooked. It affects every aspect of his game, and the issues come without warning, it can be at the start of a match, when he's winning, when he's losing. It obviously affects him physically (losing strength in his muscles, low energy, decreased stamina, etc.) but it also crucially affects his mind too. It can make it hard to concentrate and induce a sort of brain fog, which will also massively hamper his level in matches as well. But that's just me.

@prafulyadav661 u be lucky if u get one of these right

@P the disrespect of not picking Carlos to win any of these is blasphemy

@@colethomas903 yeah I know, I realised that the moment I completed my list😅, but it's my gut feeling so can't really change it.

That is the smart thing to do. Don't be surprised if he wins RG again. It's always easier to play when you are not the favorite and he knows it.

​@@ivanambreus3021He won't. Gonna be honest here. Without cramps Alcaraz would have taken him out although it might have been a 5 setter.

@@Blue-ik8ij This is what you dreamed of. Alcaraz did not have cramps until his match with Novak. Alcaraz himself stated that playing against Novak is completely different from playing against any other player

@@Blue-ik8ij lol everyone said he wont last year but he did, he can surprise everyone like that~ btw the reason for Alcaraz's cramps was Novak himself~ Alcaraz couldn't keep up with the intensity, that's how he got the cramps, let's not kid ourselves

​@@heizeking3557alcaraz cramped because of the heat . And lack of pickle juice . Djokovic definitely crappped himself after that second set . And then alcaraz beat djokovic 2 week later just to prove djokovics win was a fluke

But Rafa IS! Maybe the players know that Rafa will use injections (TUEs ) like in 2022!

Because he is trash . He still gets nightmares of nardi

french accent. not russian

They mentioned him for Madrid which plays a bit faster than other clay surfaces and last year a big server like Struff made the final there so Ben can potentially do something similar if he plays really well.

look how well he's doing in Houston - SF in his first clay tournament

Shelton will adapt and then bring that Alcaraz-like energy. He's got natural talent, athleticism, and mental fortitude. Kind of similar to Kyrgios in being able to draw a huge crowd just to see the ridiculous plays

You can't take these predictions seriously dude. It's just a popularity contest. If you want objective predictions, go to the websites where they do betting odds - they keep it real objective b/c they're dealing with people's money. Nobody excels in the clay season just b/c they won Houston.

Alcaraz stopped Zverev in 2022 and then won again in 2023.
