    Alcaraz answered your question well. Federer was going for incredible shots in 2003-04 taking tennis to a new unimagined level, and Carlos will soon take it beyond Big 3 level if he can keep developing exceptional balance.
    (He has the serving potential, but question is whether he can reach the Djokovic returning potential, the shot that stands out above all of the rest of the history of tennis.)
    Was that 'one coach' One Carlos Ferrero? 🍀

    Great stuff Gill. Always enjoy your VLOGs. You do a great job of immersing the viewer in the atmosphere of the event. If anyone reading this has not watched the Wimbledon VLOG from a few years back DO SO. I'm completely lost on why tennis does not expand these press conferences to more players and change the format. And release the videos of them for heaven's sake! Fans love to hear from the stars. Tennis needs to adapt. Fascinating watch; another really cool VLOG!

    Thanks for taking the time to make this Gill. I've always wondered about the behind the scenes of these tournaments, as that information seems opaque and hard to come by, but thanks for breaking it down. Glad you enjoyed yourself!

  • @pyotrrossetti
    @pyotrrossetti Рік тому +9

    Honestly I'm a bit torn. I like seeing you so happy enjoying the tournaments whether they be Slams or Masters like and I think you deserve that pleasure but I also like your post match analysis videos. If both could exist, maybe even in a post match late night livestream or something like that I'd feel the best!

    Your question to Alcaraz was fantastic. Only, I wished it had been in Spanish so he could have answered comfortably (not your fault, obviously). I understand how it feels when somebody asks you an insightful question in a language is not your primary

      Yes Miami seems not a classy tournament. Indian Wells definitely a step up. I never used to watch anything but Queens and Wimbledon, and now I realise why all the players are so obsessed with Wimbledon. No contest for style and class.

  • @Will-888

    Gill, would it be better to have no byes? To have the feels of a masters 1000 event from day one? Can't the organizers implement that?

  • @zetristan4525
    @zetristan4525 Рік тому +4

    You did a brilliant job, Gill! Down-to-earth honest sharing of the atmosphere. Such a highly intelligent, discerning commentator always. The Ruuusuuvuori prediction and others coming true. (Would be so interesting to hear your views on other important things in the world, if you ever start a second channel.)

  • @loocas6448

    Thanks Gill for catching the ambiance of Miami M1000 for us the ones that cannot be in person. Have a warm embrace from Murcia, Spain, the land of Carlitos Alcaraz.
    Let me ask you sth...what does 'early popcorn' means in your analyse videos? I suspect it is some kind of metaphore...thanks in advance.
    Keep on the good work, tennis man. 😇👍

    • @breadcyclone
      @breadcyclone Рік тому +4

      Well popcorn is associated with movies, which are usually quite engaging to watch. So 'early popcorn' means an early round match (1st round, second round, etc) that will potentially be interesting or fun to watch

  • @blue-xb1cq
    @blue-xb1cq Рік тому +1

    @9:11 - 1- scheduling or lack of 2- need two courts under the roof ( can easily do 3 under a retractable roof football stadium ) 3 - lack of organization at the recreation levels for the general public to gain public interest in the game 4 - the tennis point/score ( ask a typical person on the street and see if she/he knows how a game is won ) 5- not many schools have tennis courts 6- other growing sports competing for the market share

    Hey Gill. Interesting vlog at the Miami Open. I have been credentialed 4 times at the Miami Open, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2018. For me, you just can't beat Key Biscayne as a venue for the Miami Open. Did you meet people in the media section who also were nostalgic about Key Biscayne without necessarily being detrimental about the Hard Rock venue?

  • @kenctravels
    @kenctravels Рік тому

    Great video. Loved the shout-out to Fort Lauderdale and Laspada’s. Yao Ming jersey (Go Rockets!). Amy!!! The grounds at Hard Rock are so much better than the lame offerings at Crandon. Everyone loves the beauty of Key Biscayne but the facilities were obviously very dated and couldn’t be modernized feasibly. The centrality of Hard Rock to SoFL is also *SO MUCH* better than KB. You left just in time as the hot, humid, rainy season has just begun. 😢

    @borisnahalka3027 Рік тому

    I have a question about Sinner's toss. it seems that he tosses it always behind his head/ slightly to his left. It is common if you are serving kick, especially on the 2nd serve. but it looks like Janick is tossing the same way in his 1st serve as well. I don't get it.

  • @williammartine5168
    @williammartine5168 Рік тому +1

    Thanks for sharing this with us. You are my favorite tennis commentator. Looks like you had a good time overall. I hope you will do more of these VLOGs, it brings us into the mix without being there. Looks like they are having more rain lately at Miami, since you left, alot more interrupted matches. I guess they cannot throw up a roof when they put up the temp courts. Are the courts fast because of the temporary build?

    Tennis must be, in terms of watching and viewership, the 3rd/4th biggest sport in the world behind football (soccer to Americans), basketball and maybe cricket because of the Indian market, relax NFL isn't that well watched (bar the Superbowl) outside of America and the UK. In terms of participation, probably 3rd/4th as well.

    Best tennis episode ever! Gave me an idea of what it's like to be at a big tennis event. Wish you would have gone to Indian Wells too which is out by you. Now I know why some of the matches had annoying beeping sounds in the background. I figured there was construction in the area and now, thanks to you, I have a good guess: putting together the racetrack.

    Firstly, great video gil, super well edited and presented to give us insight into the Miami Open on the ground. Secondly: whoops! I argued under a recent Monday Match Analysis that Miami plays almost as slow as Indian Wells with the heat, and until recently that might be true, but as soon as I saw the success of players like Mannarino, Halys, etc, I knew I was way off. Sorry to everyone I led astray last week!
