Stan is awesome. Class act. Best backhand ever. Will miss him. Bummer that he had so many injuries. Still great he won multiple Grand Slams despite the Big Three being so dominant
YOU ARE AWESOME....ALWAYS APPRECIATED YOUR TENNIS INTEGRITY AND YOUR HONEST OPIONIONS. YOU ARE A NICE GENTLEMAN....WITH A BRILLIANT BACKHAND...... LOVE ALSO WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT RAFA ....🥰 BEST WISHES WITH EVERYTHING IN TENNIS AND BEYOND!!!
The lack of interesting and relevant post-match questions in this sport remains disconcerting. It seems to have accelerated within the past few years, and is no wonder why I have such little respect for those holding a press pass.
Could not agree more. Most of them are not journalists, I have to assume. They seem disinterested in both the actual sport and the player in front of them they are interviewing. Tennis is an individual sport and I am sure Wawrinka, in the aftermatch of retiring from a match, is not concerned with Rafa's exploits or Federer's attempts to return to the game. Honestly. :::eyeroll:::
Mate if you ask these players more interesting questions, they will get mad and act condescending asf. So the journalist’s boss is like if you do that I may fire you. So everyone just dances the dance, boring federer gives the same boring low key superior sneak diss answers he’s been giving since 2004 and everyone pretends these guys are interesting when only 1% of them truly are. It’s fine, the tennis quality on court is enough.
@@youngmyth They are not interesting, I agree. Which is why it makes more sense to ask them pointed questions about themselves and their game. Instead of using Wawrinka's return from injury to get yet more column inches about Nadal and Federer, he could've asked Stan about his mental approach to matches these days, or if he plans to make some tweaks to his game to increase his match wins, or what kinds of achievements he's going after (winning 500s? A Masters?), or what his specific preparation plans are for the next tournament. If he wants to ask Stan about the game more broadly, maybe he could ask him what he thinks will get the Next Gen over the line in slams v Big 3/Djoker & Rafa, seeing as he was able to do so multiple times. I think there are lots of inoffensive questions, actually. I'm not disagreeing with your assessment of the players (especially the top guys, as they are pampered and spoiled). I DO think, though, there are ways to make the job of giving a presser less painful (because they hate doing them, obviously) by not boring them to death. Not sure if the press from their own countries is better? Maybe Fed is not a good example because he always talks a lot and likes the sound of his own voice, I reckon, but he always gives long answers when talking to the Swiss press.
Only 2 players have beaten Both Nadal and Djokovic in Major Finals and Stan is one of those guys. The other one is of course the Great Rodger Federer. Many respect for Stan.
Stan was incredible but not as good as Murray. Just because both have won 3 majors don’t mean both are at the same level. BTW Murray was never part of a Big four because there were first big 2 and since 2011 Djokovic have joined Nadal and Federer and there was a big 3.
For me hè was, to be honest love his tennis more than I ever did with Murray. For me Rafa is the GOAT, but for him to win a slam of RG hè deserves respect ✊
@@jonathanheard980 I know, I just think that is hard for him to compete at the highest level again. I've seen him live in Rome and his lateral movements are gone... I hope to see him to be competitive again but I highly doubt.
Alex You talk about lateral movement The lateral movement relates to his recovery from 2 Achilles ops on that foot that’s half the problem The injury is far more serious than you can imagine He’s openly said if you saw the tribune video he has given himself this yr to get physically right For next yr Between you and me I feel the problem also lies elsewhere Psychologicallly the unforced errors , that’s all valverdus fault , Stan is not the same player without Magnus it’s quiet evident
Wawrinka es uno de los mejores jugadores de tenis en activo .Es irregular y ese es su gran defecto pero cuando está en racha gana a cualquiera de ahí los tres gran slams que tiene si no recuerdo mal
Forget Gasquet, Fed or Thiem, Stan had the bet back hand shot ever. Laser focused. He almost took down Novak in AO 13 but got him the next year. And the FO in 15 and USO in 16. He had power in his BH shots. That was a masterclass when he beat Novak, when everyone thought Stan was there just for the 2nd place prize.
The questions were outright inappropriate In a time where he is vulnerable Frustrated and they tried getting watever they wanted to Get outa his mouth Hideous
Here we go again. Rafa is playing ,,injured''. You cant beat that. Now you will see him running like crazy, but if he lose the game he will say he was injured.
yeah, Nadal is in a different league - the one where he gets to play in Majors while his main competition is banned. He's in the "Nadal Is the Only Ranked Player Competing League"
Stop whinging mate, Nadal has nothing to do with this. Novak said after Aussie Open controversy when asked about, Does he willing to sacrifice GS and Goat title because if this vaccine issue continues?? back then he said nothing is more important to me then my health and i won’t back down no matter what the consequences may be. Now before the start of every GS tournament he and his fans crying like can you please bend the rules for Novak and let him play lol? If you really want to play that badly just follow the rules and take a jab and stop whinging about this.
@@dumitriuradu8481 no sorry he would have won either way, in grand slam finals he just happens to bring his A game. Like del po beat fed in us open 2009, big 3 are not undefeatable in the biggest stages other want to grab the trophy just as much
the matter of fact is Rafa is this year what he is,just because Nole do not exist...the ATP and politics are killing the most talented player in all times...

That backhand was gold with gonzales one
What a run he had 2014-2016.
Unforgettable !
3 years for Stan the Man, if we multiply it by 5,5 and we get the average length of the Big 3's run. And 2 of them ain't done with tennis yet. 🙂
2013 to 2016
@@guruk I was talking about the years he won slams in. He did well even in 2017 to be fair - made RG final again.
Coincided with nadal's worst years.

You had to say GREAT Federer. The greater than him are two players.
And the greatest in tennis history is Djokovic.
@@milanm403 rafa by far is the best nole is more regular but not interesting to watch. Rafa missed at least 6 finals because of injury
Peak stan could (and did) beat any of the big 3....and spectacularly!
Nice haircut Stan 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
People forget Stan was never apart of the "big four" but he won just as much Slams as Murray did in the same era. Including beating Rafa in a final.
He also beat Djokovic in the 2015 RG
@@owenxu905 yes sir
Not taking anything away from Stan but Rafa got injured in that 2014 aussie final

It’s called injuries mate.

The injury is far more serious than you can imagine
He’s openly said if you saw the tribune video he has given himself this yr to get physically right
For next yr
Between you and me I feel the problem also lies elsewhere
Psychologicallly the unforced errors , that’s all valverdus fault , Stan is not the same player without Magnus it’s quiet evident
Yeah he’s done since 2019. it’s a shame, his game is beautiful and he’s a very likable guy.
@@jonathanheard980 it’s called being done. He hasn’t results in 5 years now
Stan deserves to win one more Grand Slam. If he can win Wimbledon then he will complete the career Grand Slam.

I can listen to him speak English all day, every day.
Also helps he is a
Multiple grandslam winner . Doesn’t it ?
he beat rafa in finals he beat novak in finals of ( grand slams)
Rafa was injured during the oa final in 2014 you must mention that !
Some of the questions are so weird
The questions were outright inappropriate
In a time where he is vulnerable
Frustrated and they tried getting watever they wanted to
Get outa his mouth
Hideous
As long as rafa stays fit the tournament is over..
You meant as long as he gets his roids
Here we go again. Rafa is playing ,,injured''. You cant beat that.
Now you will see him running like crazy, but if he lose the game he will say he was injured.
Didnt watch his match but it sounds like he threw in the towel after going down 2 sets.
He didn’t throw in the towel
He injured his foot

At his best, he can beat vintage rafa (clay being the only exception ), needless to mention Novak.
He spanked djokovic multiple times in gs. Rafa, only once and he was not 100 %
