the way Andrey took litterally zero credit for beating Nole and Andy and tried to explain their shape to justify his victories 🥺 he really is the most humble player of the tour
absolutely, but someone else would have been even just a little full of himself for beating the big4 while Rublev manages to be humble here too@@sid34193
Eubanks is such a great talker and has such a talent for communications. Rublev was so humble and as always humorous. Was very nice to see Schwartzman and Struff too that added quite a bit and I was not expecting this cast. Very nice crew :)
You could tell that the other three guys kept pushing questions and talking points onto Chris. I wonder how much of it was because they liked listening to what he had to say vs him being the only native english speaker and them not wanting to be in the spotlight
@@Zephyr77 or maybe it’s like others who have posted replies suggested, Chris over talks the others and although he’s an awesome storyteller he isnt the best listener
I mean an interviewer has to let other people talk...... Podcast about himself? Yeah I'll pass. Seems like a cool guy though...but he's the lowest on the totem pole at this table
People are saying oh, Eubanks talks a lot, so he should have his own show. That's not how it works. Don't conflate being loquacious with being a good interviewer. Lecturers showcase their depth of knowledge for people to sit & absorb. The best interviewers, however, are there to actively listen, ask insightful follow up questions, & let their guests speak. Eubanks makes the mistake of being too eager to show off his tennis trivia & be the center of attention instead of serving as an access point for others to share their perspectives. People are here to connect to Ruby, the highest ranked, most successful player at that table, not watch Eubanks steal the spotlight. There will be plenty of time to talk after Chris' career stalls out & he returns to Tennis Channel to commentate on superior players.
Thats right , i watched the new episode yesterday between Bublik,Paire and Ruud and it was much more interesting than this one . In this one only Eubanks spoke and it got boring pretty fast@@got2bjosh
Andrey is truly inspiration for us teenagers, for kids, for many people throughout the world, I think that he is on a very beautiful way on growing into a Legend and also winning more Masters 1000 titles and also Grandlams, just time will show. We love you so much Andrey! ❤️❤️❤️🎾🤗
I actually really appreciate how "raw" this conversation is. It seems like it was really that, a conversation which had its silences, its arguments, because these players are actually talking to each other about anything. Appreciate how unscripted this is! Not everything needs to be packaged solely for entertainment. It's nice to just know what these players want to talk about.
This was fun! I admit I watched it because Andrey was in it initially, but I really enjoyed it. Ok, Chris did most of the talking, but the others didn't seem to mind and they chipped in when they had something to say. Diego and Andrey seem to be very sweet characters ❤❤
Rublev - People love your personality. They would love to see you commentate a match - just to enjoy your personality while watching the match. I think you would be great. I hope you try it.
The episode with the French players, Gael, Paire and Coach Patrick was great as well. I think the only difficulty is the language barrier but these guys conversations well in English. Time for Chris to learn some Russian, Spanish and German ;)
eubanks is a great conversationalist. loved hearing his perspective and I can tell he is good at putting others at ease while still covering what people are interested in. didn't expect to watch the whole video since I have a short attention span but it was super interesting start to finish!
Horrible conversationalist. Completely commandeers the situation. Doesn't engage in active listening. We're here for Ruby not to listen to Eubanks overcompensate for his filler tennis career by sucking the air out of the room.
Love these men! Struff was good to get to know, but I was here for the other 3. Among my favorites. I really hope Diego finds his stride, and Chris finds another big result in the near future :) Andrei is a delight.
My lawd Chris is not a good conversationist - talks a lot and extraverted yes, but doesn't let others participate in the conversation so it becomes a monologue! Enjoyable group overall to watch tho.
@@ultimatetennisshowdown1774 A players-cum-players panel worth watching would be Shelton, FAA, & Fils. Three mixed guys talking about their respective journeys. Shelton barely got to talk last time. Eubanks sucked the air out of the room trying to act like a living tennis Wikipedia page. Mush-mouthed Tiafoe was too busy garbling his words whilst fawning over celebrity culture to make intelligible sense. That episode was an empty mess of name dropping & vocal disfluencies.
I know I'm going to get needlessly attacked by people for saying this, but Eubanks' extensive monologueing & cutting the other guys off when they tried to speak was just too much.. It would've been great if it was more of a discussion because there were actually a few good moments & chats that included all 4 of them..
he's the only one who's first language is english, so i'd guess the other guys just want him to speak more, but i agree there were times when he would cut the others off, but maybe he just wanted to finish what he was saying.
Ruby was tuning out Eubanks incessant chatter & checking messages on his phone. Chris realized this and paid him a compliment to bring him back into the conversation. You have to know when to say a few words, but then move on & let others speak. They were interested for a moment, but then Eubanks kept droning on & they were like, we get it dude, you talk better than you play.
@@ashi2717doesn't matter . Watch the new episode with Paire , Bublik and Ruud , much better flow and much more interesting conversations than Eubanks talking about his commentating career . It would have been much better without Eubanks
COULD have been a great combination. Instead, Eubanks pulled focus away from the better, more successful players, Ruby, chief among them. Nobody cares about that stretched out tennis Tootsie Roll. Fillerbanks needs to actively listen.
These videos are so fun- good stuff! Chris u kinda over-talk everyone and dominate the conversation u tell great stories but aren’t the best listener. All good though cuz like I said- u tell great stories. I would like to learn more about the others though…
Eubanks for an upcoming commentator or someone who wants to entertain through conversation and speaking...maybe actually learn to converse isntead of talk over others. Guess its also an open format over dinner...so maybe its not a fair critique. Honestly guess you never know how these things will go.
Someone should tell Chris that Murray doesn't use a Radical (and lots of other players don't use the racquets they endorse, but instead have a different racquet with the cosmetic of their endorsed racquet)
Yeah he just means he knows the rackets they endorse. Pro stock rackets are an open secret in the tennis community especially at higher levels. Even in college I played some guys with 15 year old rackets.
@@bengray5013 He’s a professional player who clearly has an eye for detail. He knows damn well that players use custom molds/specs. He himself likely customizes his racket with lead tape/silicone etc.
@@tds7078 he's relatively new to the tour and there's plenty of younger players using newer racquets nowadays, many don't know much about their own racquets lol, so again it's not as simple as you claim. He may or may not know what racquet Andy actually uses, but in this video he was incorrect.
I think Eubanks is seriously underestimating European basketball. You would have to settle on a rule set and where the lines are drawn, but I think the betting odds would surprise him if the NBA champs played, say, the Spanish champs in a one off.
Love eubanks enthusiasm, dont think he realises he talks over other people dominates the convo, must be an American thing? You can at times see the awkwardness from the others but he doesnt realise
@@tonyv.945 who said he represents 350 million people? Who know it could be a cultural thing, different cultures have different ways of communicating in group settings it may be considered normal in America.
@@samster978 I’m a letting u know that if u want to consider cultural norms in a country that has over 350 million people u need a bigger sample size than 1 person! Extrapolating from him to the entire country is what’s called over generalizing. All good
Yeah, the talking over others & cutting the guys off a couple times or answering a question that someone else was asked was a bit much.. If this was his own podcast or something, he'd obviously be entertaining, but I would've preferred to hear more from the others here, especially when they wanted to speak.
please tell me something, how is that possible that Eubanks is 2.01m tall and Struff 1.93 according to the internet and there's a huge difference between the two at 0:01 of the video
Enough Eubanks. This isn't Tennis Channel redux. The guy talks over everyone, doesn't engage in active listening, & is too loquacious for his comparatively mediocre career. People are here for the top 5, top 10 & top 20 stars of the game, not Fillerbanks spouting tennis trivia in lieu of winning REAL titles.
Chris - If you really see a future as a commentator... you need to learn how to allow others to speak. You probably were talking 80% of the time in this video - and there were three others guys.
39 USA guy speaking high of his NBA league and USA team not even won semi final . 4 th in place . Even Canada beat them for 3 Rd position. I totally agree USA is best. Just like India in cricket in rankings but in knockout the fall apart. Novak can't win Olympics still the best player in the world. That's difference
Eubanks was cutting off others too much. Its his mother tongue, so he should know give others time to speak. Apart from that, he is the worst player out of all of them, so he should not necessarily be the loudest. We want to hear more of Rublev, Schwartzmann and Struff, not Eubanks.
I partially agree. I agree he took too much control over the conversation and that it would’ve been nice to hear more from the others but strongly disagree with not wanting to hear from Eubanks- love hearing from ALL of them despite their ranking or success
This is my 6th comment ever on YT. It would have been awesome to hear from the others a lot more…one person could’ve talked a lot less…paused many times to get thru it…a reminder for us to be more self aware!
Pretty sure guys weren't simply coming up with anything. Especially Rublev and Struff who are introverts. Eubanks was needed to even maintain an actual conversation. A casual, natural flow. I think he was hogging the mic here and there in episode 1 where the other dudes were also talkative. Shelton even made a comment about that at one point. But to me not here.
Yeah, completely agree.. & it's not about English being his 1st language or that no-one else was contributing - it just seems to be his style.. he talks over them & cuts them off a few times when they start speaking or answers questions that were asked to one of the others.. I get that he's used to commentating - it's just that's not the vibe you should bring to a discussion with 3 other ppl, in my opinion.
It would be great if you make subtitles, at least in English wich allows the viewers to translate them and enjoy the conversation. That doesn't work with auto generated subs. because the lack of grammar (plus missed words) makes the translation totally incoherent
the way Andrey took litterally zero credit for beating Nole and Andy and tried to explain their shape to justify his victories 🥺 he really is the most humble player of the tour
he's realistic...that was the year of a deported, subpar novak...after that, rublo has had no chance
absolutely, but someone else would have been even just a little full of himself for beating the big4 while Rublev manages to be humble here too@@sid34193
He cooked Andy lol he basically said he was a finished player
@@sid34193sounds like a baby crying over here is that just me or do my ears deceive me?
@@MistahhMingus get real, fanatic
I love how Andrey stayed humble and kind, even when they were saying compliments and showing an admiration and respect towards him.
Never ask a man how much he makes.
Never ask a woman how much she weighs.
Never ask a South American why he has a German Surname.
Eubanks is such a great talker and has such a talent for communications. Rublev was so humble and as always humorous. Was very nice to see Schwartzman and Struff too that added quite a bit and I was not expecting this cast. Very nice crew :)

@@tonyv.945he has more to say cause hes a commentator
Active listening > loquaciousness
Rublev always finds good humor and makes everyone laugh humble king
Andryusha humble as always, never brags nor yap about his stats. He is such a pure soul🥺❤
Man just give eubanks a podcast channel and let him interview players lol
Literally this is such a good idea
He wouldn't shut up long enough for them to respond.
I mean an interviewer has to let other people talk......
Podcast about himself? Yeah I'll pass.
Seems like a cool guy though...but he's the lowest on the totem pole at this table
Struff is very quiet and polite I have never pictured him considering the way he plays the game
Speaktime: Eubanks 90%, Schwartzman 5%, Rublev 5%, Struff 0.2% 😂 Love you guys
Agreed! Eubanks totally dominated the conversation and talked over the others but to his credit he tells such great stories
Well he’s the future commentator… kept the conversation alive.
People are saying oh, Eubanks talks a lot, so he should have his own show. That's not how it works. Don't conflate being loquacious with being a good interviewer. Lecturers showcase their depth of knowledge for people to sit & absorb. The best interviewers, however, are there to actively listen, ask insightful follow up questions, & let their guests speak.

Rublev - People love your personality. They would love to see you commentate a match - just to enjoy your personality while watching the match. I think you would be great. I hope you try it.
Something about Rublev that makes him so likeable .. ❤
His megawatt smile. The best on tour.
Andrey = cuteness overload
eww
@zafferung4440 * You suddenly saw your face in the mirror
He’s so cute it hurts
This is such a great idea, please do more players in different settings! so fun!
As often as we can, promise.
Thanks to those, who had the idea to create these series. So refreshing and nice to hear players speaking among themselves.
Thank you. UTS is about authenticity, so here's what we came with.
44:19 love Struff and Rublev doing faces in the background
Eubanks needs to ask the other players more questions!
Struff is like Ryan Gosling’s character in Drive movie during the conversation 😂
They made such an surprisingly great team all together, love to listen to them 😁❤️
Eubanks’ personality is just like his play style. Non stop attack.
Signifying nothing.
Holy cow! Andrey is gorgeous!😍 He's my fave and I love him!
He is indeed gorgeous! If he looked at me with that little smile (when he told Diego how old he is) at 03:27 I'd melt into a puddle
Ruby has the best smile on tour.
The episode with the French players, Gael, Paire and Coach Patrick was great as well.
I think the only difficulty is the language barrier but these guys conversations well in English.
Time for Chris to learn some Russian, Spanish and German ;)
44:23 Andrey basically trying out his flirting techniques on Diego with that gaze 😆❤
He is gay?
He did have a long term girlfriend in the past. Perhaps he is bi? Not that it matters to me.@@sinuKaty
@@sinuKaty he is married to a blond pretty woman 👩

welcome
Everyone debating but Andrey’s just enjoying his burger
Diego saying “Rosher” to Roger is very Argentinian 😂❤ 5:32
Rublev is still being teased because of his one direction cover😂😂😂
eubanks did not stop talking
that was INCREDIBLE
I like these talks✨ just casual and cozy
This is such a great discussion. We can see the other side of these awesome players. Keep up the good work!

so Andrey get stressed during matches just because if he looses he has to pack stuff and take a flight the morning after. Love this guy x

It's just so nice hearing Eubanks talk he needs his own podcast lol
That's the last thing he needs. The best hosts engage in active listening. Eubanks just prattles on incessantly because he knows he falters on court.
