Wish you a happy new year steve and dave! 🎉🎉🎉 And welcome you guys to walk us through this new tennis season. 🤗

Sinner , Zvarev, and Taylor got good draw to reach semis,Alcaraz and Djokovic have to fight their way

The entire story of Rybakina screams that intimacy has a lot to do with her relationship with her old coach. Otherwise I don't see her willingness to subject herself to his mental abuse.

25th slam is his biggest goal

Thanks guys, love the show.

Great video! Isn’t a Wimbeldon win also another milestone for Novak? If he wins Wimbeldon, it will bring him in tie with Roger for 8 wins - the most wins in Wimbedlon

I love hearing your thoughts, Steve and David. Happy New Year! 🎉😊

Thanks guys. Nice review. Just on the Doping stuff - this narrative of lack of consistency is understandable but it's not correct. The ITIA are following the same process each time, outcomes are different because circumstances are different and the evidence is different. Simona wasn't able to appeal the suspension as she couldn't locate the source and it was also quite a complex case. Jannik was able to appeal the provisional suspensions very quickly (as he himself said basically because his team told the truth). If the appeal is successful, it isn't made public until after the hearing/decision. Iga's appeal was originally rejected but just before they made it public, she sent the results of her own investigation in to the ITIA and they didn't announce it while they did their own tests and then it was lifted. I wish people generally understood the process better and stopped talking about secrecy and cover ups. Hoping there is no ban or only a short one for Sinner. I understand the principle of being responsible for your team, but it seems very unfair when he had no knowledge of the spray being used and did not himself take or ingest anything. Either way it will be a relief when it's decided and we can get on with the tennis.

@CourtSidewithBeilinsonTennis - Thanks guys for another great year. But when talking about your thoughts for 2025, you missed talking about the top 2 players no? This is a big subject you missed here. Many questions regarding Carlos and Sinner (some listed below) and would have been good to get your views 1) Sinner: he had a great 2024 with significant improvement to play at elite level. Can he improve even more in 2025? What aspects of his play to watch for in 2025? 2) Carlos: tons of questions on Carlos. How can he fix his performance inconsistency? This is not easy to figure out, is it even fixable in your opinion? Do you think he lacks the motivation / hunger / mentality to stay in the top 2? Do you think he is making the right decisions in general? I question his unnecessary busy off-season period (busy exhibition schedule, flying to different time zones, hanging around, etc) instead of training a bit on improving his hardcourt performance and focusing on AO (clearly 2024 showed that fast harcourt is his weakness). Do you feel a lack of focus as we are heading to 2025? He is talented but are his lack of discipline and mentality waisting his potential? Is he hungry enough and confident enough to do everything possible to win? Do you think he can still compete with sinner in 2025 or did sinner put a good gap between his game level and Carlos? Now that all courts are faster globally, will we see Carlos continuing to struggle? What do you think of the new coach announcement?

Great segment!

Sinner pulling away from alcaraz his turn to respond

Nole did not pay Turin because at the started the year he was beaten by Sinner and if he finished the year been with another loss to Sinner, it would be a humiliation, what a great week of tennis at Turin, and the crowd was very sporting to all the players, the french show learn from the Turin crowd.

Alcaraz actually complaimed a lot after hes loss to zverev, he says surface too fast and that he misses home 😂

I dont see sinner performance drop

Jannik beat Carlos at 6 Kings. Believe me, that was not a friendly they both wanted to win so bad.

Great Fritz and super Sinner 🎉

Steve has to do smth about his computer/Internet. Those freezes really subtract from the viewing experience.

french crowd iis the worse, fritz knows that and now kachanov, they're the most disrespectful crowd by far.....they're just bunch of primitive idiots

great episode!

A great, great episode. Loved every minute of it. Thank you.

Hi David, do you think it will be beneficial for Djokovic to hire a coach for the next season?

Nadal is easily the No 2 on the men's GOAT list.

how people can call nadal only a clay court player is beyond me, he achieved double career grand slam, which fed didnot even have it. Of course, some peole will say, without nadal , fed could have won 4-5 RG titles. But without Djokovic or Fed, how many more AO and W titles Nada could have won? Nadal only lost 9 slam finals, and 8 of them came from Fed and Djokovic.

Glad you mentioned Rybakina. We need her back in the mix.

I don't like that hosts are promoting the idea of giving overinflated importance to H2H versus the performance against the whole field. We've been through this before - in 2006-07 when Rafa fans were drumming about "Real #1". This idea goes against the basic logic, the part is given a greater importance than the whole. The truth of the matter is that Sinner is #1 and Alcaraz is not. In China Sinner won 1000 event, while Alcaraz won 500 event. This truth is getting lost while everybody concentrates on their Beijing final.

Steve and David covered last 2 weeks and Steve is a great tennis expert and has photogenic memory and dissects detail very well all the time 🎉🎉❤

Agree that Zverev - Tiafoe was the decider in a way. Regarding Fritz: Zverev was injured in the Wimbledon match and has been playing with pneumonia now so take that into account when you mention Fritz beating him three times in a row.

Just so you know big 3 didn’t play in 2021 so it’s not first time I believe 23 also they didn’t play

Great tennis information u 2. The Laver Cup is the best ever tennis for me, to have all those top players being interviewed together as a team, with all their sense of humour, and lovely honesty is just wonderful. Loved it all, so tense, so full of drama, so exciting and all playing as a team. This is just the best tennis to watch.

Terrific discussion from the two of you. Always great to hear tennis being discussed. I agree that Tiafoe's match on Sunday was the decider.

Carlos was magnificent!

I believe iga had a lot of force error due to Pegula"s ball striking. Let's not underestimate Pegula's game. Also, Sabalenka"s game is not only power anymore. That's now an old conversation. Let's move on.

I agree Sinner has more consistensy

I believe that if Novak hires an A + coach (Brad Gilbert comes to my mind) he can have 2 more years on tour.

Agree. If Djokovic wins one more major, he will probably call it a career.

Steve's audio occasionally goes off for a few seconds. It happens on all of your podcasts.

I am unsure about their 2025 predictions for men in terms of the future rivalry between Carlos and Jannik. I am not confident that Carlos will recover (although I surely hope so as a fan). I understand that Carlos is going through tough times and completely unravelling recently but the question is would he be able to recover from that? It doesn’t seem that he is able to revert back to the top quality tennis we are used to with Carlos. I don’t think this is solely due to the Olympics hangover As for Novak, his priority for next year will undoubtedly be to win Wimbledon. By winning his 9th, he will surpass Federer’s record of the most Wimbeldon wins. Also, whenever he decides to retire down the line, I believe it will be during wimbeldon. He always said that that place is the most special for him. Best court for him is centre court at Wimbeldon and that was his childhood dream

Great Review and balanced analysis. Sinner was by far the best player at USO and so was Aryna and deservedly Won.Sorry for Taylor and Jessica, hope they can do it once at Grand Slam🎉

The different sound of balls off Sinner's racket is a combination of his long powerful swing and the high string tension he uses. it reminds me of gunshosts using a silencer.

This slam confirms Sinner as the new king of tennis, just as Novak starts his decline. I won't be surprised if Sinner wins all 4 slams next year.

2:47 Steve Flink doing the Ed Bassmaster face prank

Steve Flink's audio, as in most of your pods, dips/mutes off and on.

Daddy Hall of Fame predicted after Roland Garros, that Sinner would win AO and USO, and Alcarez would win RG and W. About the US tennis players, I don’t agree that this last Slam proved that they are any closer to winning a grand slam; in fact, it proved that they are as far as they have always been when the BIG 3 were around. This last Slam displayed that the only way for the current US players to win is that they don’t have to go through the very elite players (Sinner, Alcarez, Medvedev, and Djokovic). I found it not encouraging or discouraging; I would call it an "Assessment Slam.”

This podcast, by far, has the most balanced and insightful tennis analysis I have found (and I listen to a lot of tennis podcasts!). Thank you, Steve and David, for sharing your tennis acumen with us! 🙏🏽

Carlos is just not consistent, he will be allways prone to big upsets.

Sinner will win us open

If Zverev is going to win a slam, this might be his best chance!!

All this said, why did everybody predicted Carlos and Novak to play the final? Does it make sense to do the previews before the tournaments?

Great points guys. What a summer for Carlos. Makes it kind of crazy perspective what Rafa did in 2008. French, Wimby, Olympic Gold, then ran outta gas vs Murray in US Open Semis.

Great insights! Felt bad for Carlos but given that he won the FO and Wimby back to back playing some grueling 5 setters then playing the Olympics for the first time and deciding to play doubles with Rafa and pretty much playing every day that week then loosing in the finals to Novak with only a few days to rest then having to go to the US hardcourts it was only a matter of time that there was going to be an emotional and physical letdown. Hope he can recharge and recover but with Davis and Lavar cups around the corner doubt that will happen 😢
