Best format ever! Nice to hear players talk about tour and personal experiences
What are they eating btw ?
@@VARMOT123 looks like pumpkin soup
Hope thiem can at least get back to top 50 before his career ends.
looking so tough though, idk if he's serious when he plays challenger matches, but losing against people out of the top 400 is not a good look
Not happening, sadly.
Give Casper a talk show. Habla y habla.
Make a podcast where players come and talk like this. I woluld listen every episode...
THIS IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY BETTER THAN BREAK POINT NETFLIX!!
Thiem is one of my favorite players on tour
Ruud is gonna be a super broadcaster in the future
Casper must have come to this round table talk with more food in his belly than in the last one. With Bublik & Paire he seemed almost completely uninterested in conversation and banter. Getting him around De Minaur & Thiem he's the complete opposite. He's acting like Chris Eubanks this episode 🤣
Chris 😅 didn't give anyone a chance to speak 🙊
maby he just doesnt like bublik and paire
Not even close to "acting like Chris Eubanks" Casper in this episode is more of a moderator rather than someone who dominates/talks over others.
@@Siyabonga_09564oh and this one, haha... the convo with Eubanks, Shelton and Tiafoe... omg, Chris just motor-mouthed the whole thing!
Aww, now that Ruudy's playing host on home soil, he's more of a Chatty Cathy.

Thanks
He wouldn't let them talk! Sheesh
@@barrosmatiche definitely interrupted a lot. I was like “shut it, Casper, let them finish a sentence.” Still awesome to watch.
only good thing about UTS Tour is this
Domi!! 🙏🎾
I want to give him a hug
Casper Ruud es un jugador muy educado y formado, siempre en los speech de las ceremonias habla muy bien y aquí está perfecto como conductor, muy bueno.
I love these episodes, teaches you a lot about life on tour, keep them coming!
Hearing Ruud swear is so epic.
Caspar is the real star here, he's a natural on camera, the others less so.
I really enjoyed this! Casper is much more talkative than I had thought. I'd love to see more players having insightful conversations together like this in the future. Thanks!! 😊
Let's go Thiem 🔥
Always a pleasure to watch these but Casper bro.. When you ask a question let the other person speak instead of rambling on... Like others said would've loved to hear Domi talk more because of his experience but he just didn't get a chance..
This is my third episode. Actually enjoyed because there was not big personality who dominated the conversation. These three are genuine gentlemen. Surprised Dom was a bit quiet. Because the dialogue is almost all tennis, can only handle 30 minutes max. Great to see a different side of players.
This was so wholesome! Great guys and great conversation.
Desperately need more of these
Another great episode. The insight you get from players just sitting and talking without much of an agenda is so good. Funny how much the dynamic changes with different players around as well.
We'd like more of these, please. 🙏🏼
This is the content we need! Great episode. Loved the detailed talk about facing the legends of the game.
Probably the most interesting video I've watched in a while. Please get more players 🥰
Keep these videos coming love them
Very amazing video !
love it ! maybe in the futur imagine put the show on podcast it will be great
Domii 🥰
Great stuff once again, thank you.
I did feel like the audio here was a bit muffled.
There's so many great players that we'd love to watch: Gaell, Janik, Carlitos, Grigor, Rafa, Karen, Lorenzo, Arthur, Matteo, etc
I love Casper, but he needs to let the others talk!
That was really enjoyable. Casper had to anchor it because he easily has the most outgoing personality of the 3. Alex and Thiem also come across as very down to earth and chill both extremely likable. I wish Alex or Domi would have asked Casper why he chooses to still live in Norway when they have the highest taxes in the world I believe and why is not based in Monte Carlo like very other European men’s player?
Keep making these
Love it, like the previous one. Question: why not allow yourself a longer break, by playing no tournies at some point, or any other formula. Are you forced to take part? Once you've taken the point hit the first year, after that it's ok no? Of course, less tournies means less points, but at the same time, maybe more points in the tournies you actually take part in.
We need to put Eubanks, Ruud and Bublik on a table!!
Casper did one with Bublik and Benoit Paire - he hardly talked! Bublik was chatting non stop, and Paire made some comments. Casper was too busy eating :)
@@GlennSyndallius truuuuue. Forgot to the check the fact sheet bro. Thanks
Could anyone recognize the cloth Casper wore during the talk? Cannot wait to buy one!
I miss prime theim
1:28 domi was so locked in the menu💀
should have time stamps!
Ruud is talking and the others are listening...
Zapata, check the fact sheet!!!
34:10 all racquet sports go year round actually
Ok, Casper had obviously had a lot of sugar that evening, never seen him that hyper.
Let the others speak too.
What are they eating ?
8:30 he says this but medvedev has a clay masters and ruud does not
I'll tell you more FEDERER DOESN'T HAVE ROME MASTERS WIN BUT MEDVEDEV DOES 🤣😂😂 That's like the most hilarious random thing with Medvedev AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Yeah lmao, Thiem also has no clay masters yet Medvedev does.@@alexandracotton4514
BERNIE TOMIC GOAT 26:55
😊😊
No hate towards Casper but he needs to let people talk... especially someone reserved like Thiem. You need to give people room to breathe. Maybe Casper felt the need to keep the conversation going as a host but I'm like 11 minutes in and he's talked over the others so many times already.
I think he was actually excellent as a host. Doing most of the talking but asking the otherd lots of questions.
Donny worry you will play until 36-38 😊Casper we know it
24.32 meddy no where
DO AN EPISODE WITH ANDREY, DANILL AND BUBLIK. THE THREE RUSSIANS.👍
No
@39:00 wth? players are complaining matches finish too late, and here they want to start 1 hr later?? what about night matches???
Cardigan Casper
Sorry Casper but for a big tennis country like France it will not normal to have only 1 big event like Rolland. Bercy is historic
Casper be yapping way too much talking over the other guests chill out bro, especially when talking about Rafa's game like bro you haven't beaten him even once. I would've loved to hear more from Domi
He’s asking the other two good questions and paying many compliments
You know they pick 1 person to lead the conversation and moderate right? Chill out bro it’s a dinner convo
Walk over in slam semis 2022 Wimbledon nick kirgyos got against Rafa
Netflix should take notes......and show more gfs who know nothing about tennis /s
