He didn't make a big stink, just a casual reminder of his female peers. He was polite to the reporter and continued the interview without further comment. Perfect balance of a good ally to women and an understanding and respectful dialogue.
That was the best part. He wasn't chastising. He wasn't out for his own attention. He just properly acknowledged the need to boost the signal and then carried right on.
@@MKRM27 he corrected the reporter. If a reporter is going to make a simple factual error in a question he/she/they should expect to be quickly corrected.
While I don't think the reporter deliberately intended to make a sexist comment, I have to say that I highly respect Murray after correcting him right away. What he did was the right thing to do and we should all take this as an example! Hats off to you Andy!
exactly. But you know, lots of sexists comments are not made with the intention to be sexist. This is why we all have to correct this kind of sexist comments, whatever the intention was not mean.
well, my english is not perfect, so, i hope you will understand. Saying he is the first player to reach this score, the journalist forgot that Serena William has already on it. It's like, a woman manage something, some years later, a man manage the same thing, and the journalist says "you are the first"... when it's a woman who manage, it's not important, but when it's a man, he is the first...Do you understand? It's like women are always invisible, because we focus on the male players glory, and never look what the women does...
I don't blame the reporter actually. I know it is difficult to understand that this comment is sexist, i should say, it is "ordinary sexism". The fact that he based his way of thinking on the notion that he was talking only about male players, it means he just normally forgot to talk about women...like... "we don't care about women". This is not a big deal, this is not something we should blame the reporter about, but just notice it. Andy Murray had the perfect reaction because he just corrected him, with no anger or condescension. The reporter was mean or what, but the answer from Murray is very positiv. This is why we thank you. That doesn't mean we hate the reporter guy ;)
the comment isnt sexist in the slightest. the reporter was asking a male tennis player about another male tennis player who competes in the mens singles. there was no need to specify the gender when its so clearly implied he was taking about the men not the women.
This is the second time that Andy Murray corrects these reporters who seem to forget Venus and Serena's achievements. The first one was when he won the Olympic gold medal. Bravo Andy!
Yet this time Murray doesn't correct or clarify about singles vs doubles, because it is very clear to everyone, him included, that the reporter is talking about Male Singles Tennis! To call the reporter sexist because of something he didn't say is typical political correctness BS. If the reporter was to be tried for 'casual sexism', he would be acquitted because all the allegations "assume facts not in evidence".
What a load of politically correct rubbish. His question was clearly about the men's game, at what point did he even reference the women's game. Should he have included the doubles then as well???
It takes "balls" to say 'twenty oh nine' instead of 'two thousand nine'? What world do you live in? In English, there are two ways to say the years in the 21st Century, the one you choose is personal which means your "balls" are nullified.
Williams dominance over other women lol But he was being technically correct, not respectful. The women did it for the womens league which is irrelevant to the sport at large as they suck against 70% of men.
Absolutely right, eventhough Williams is not a real champion because to be a champion you have to be the best. She is not the best tennis player, and never was, so she is not a tennis champion.
Nah, this was just dumb virtue signaling by Murray. The context was clear, let’s not be snowflakes. Of course there were other Americans that went to the semis at Wimbledon if you include doubles and junior boys and junior girls. Language has meaning in context, the context was clear, Murray was being a jerk b/c he was in a pissy mood and he gets a pat on the back from the SJW ‘allies’. Pathetic.
Oh, do you now?! Why didn't Andy remember that the Bryan brothers had been in multiple major semi-finals since 2009?! He was completely wrong. He tried to claim that Sam Querrey was the first US male payer to reach a major semi-final since 2009, which was completely false. It was obvious that the reporter was talking about men's singles tennis. Andy's needless, cheeky and inaccurate "correction" should have got him a clip round the ears for his narkiness. The pup!
@@MrM.M Obviously. I was backing up Andy's point that Americans did advance, just not on the male side. The Williams sisters. He was being nice and respectful and I thought it was nice of him.

I’m looking through lots of Andy vids with the news he’s due to retire. He prob should of retired a couple of years back with his injuries but I don’t think a lot of ppl actually realise that he’s the first person to receive that operation to ever return to professional sports of any quality at all. As a fellow Scot I suppose I’m biased but Andy really is a hero . I’m a massive football and rugby fan but there’s no doubt that if anyone asked me what’s the most special sporting moment a I’ve been alive for and seen it’s Murray winning Wimbledon the first time . Honestly it was something no one thought would happen
It is not just about 'feminism' it is about fairness and acknowledgement and anti-racism. Thank you Murray. The Scots understand discrimination on all fronts...deal folks
The reporter isn’t being sexist, there talking about the men’s tour it’s implied that he’s talking about male US players. Also specifically men’s singles, because the Bryan brother’s are from the US and have won plenty of slams in doubles, so context is everything.
@@sjw4life546 McEnroe made an accurate statement. Serena has never played in a men's league. Only in the women's league. And she's number one, only having played women. So therefore, it's not just an opinion, it's a fact.

All these men saying that the reporter was talking about men's tennis and therefore the comment wasn't sexist. Guys did you here that when he was corrected he DID NOT say "oh I'm sorry I was referring to men's tennis not tennis in general". No he accepted his mistake, accepted the correction.
Of course there was nothing sexist in the question as clearly there was no intent or malice. However it was inaccurate and it was politely corrected by AM.
He was just being polite. The reporter also forgot about American mens doubles players as well. So probably not sexist at all, just didn't want to ask a clumsy question.
@@giorus Except it wasn't corrected at all. The Bryan brothers had played in multiple major semi-finals between 2009 and 2017. Nicholas Taylor played in many major semi-finals in wheelchair tennis too over those years. Murray hadn't a clue and his "correction" was inaccurate.
@@frankrandall8875 Exactly. The reporter could have said "No, you pedantic little Scottish fuck. He's not actually the first 'male player' from the US to play in a major semi-final since 2009, since the Bryan brothers and Nicholas Taylor have done that, many times. He's actually the first player from the US to play in a men's singles semi-final, not in the wheelchair competition, since 2009"
@@SammyFash i don't exactly remember, but he said something about the fact that discrimination did really exist in the sport area (as in many other areas) and that he was supporting her. That was when she won the "goldenball price" (im french, i don't know the exact word)
It's pretty silly how this is being blown up. It wasn't sexist at all nor did it require correction. The whole conversation was in reference to men's tennis so the phrasing by the interviewer was appropriate
The fact that the reporter is American and failed to acknowledge something like that is crazy. Venus and Serena are America’s pride and joy when it comes to tennis.
Actually the reporter got his facts spot on. They were talking about games in the ATP, which is for male players, so mentioning Serena Williams is irrelevant as she competes in the WTA. Andy Murray just being a smart ass trying to score some PC pts, probably on advice of his hideous mother
They were obviously talking about men's singles tennis. Not men's wheelchair tennis or men's doubles tennis or mixed doubles tennis or women's doubles tennis or women's wheelchair tennis or women's singles tennis. Andy's "correction" was actually wrong. The Bryan brothers (both "male player[s]" from the US) were actually in multiple major semi-finals since 2009. Nicholas Taylor was in many men's wheelchair tennis major semi-finals over the years between 2009 and 2017 also. Andy was so wrong and so ignorant and he actually thought he was right and virtuous!
As someone else said in this comment thread: "McEnroe specifies that Serena's the greatest WOMAN tennis player (and not GOAT across men and women for obvious reasons) and people scream sexism, Murray specifies women have made it further whilst talking about the men's tour and he's a hero". Specificity is prized when it favors women but is condemnded as sexism when it just does not favor them, that is a double standard and a hypocrisy. Also the reporter in this video was talking in context.
Something us wrong. I also came to make the same comment. McEnroe was in trouble for specifying that Serana Williams was the best female player....and here Murray is praised for being specific.
I am totally on board with this and he was correct in pointing it out. So was McEnroe when he specified that Serene Williams was the best female player but not the best player.
The reporter was clearly speaking within the context of the male tennis game... This wasn't a doubles or women's match, so it would be weird to specify every time that you're referring to male players...
@@FreedomOfTħought Agreed. That´s why we have the WTA and ATP. When reporters speak with wta or atp players, it is with regards to that, unless if mixed doubles or specifically asking about the wta or atp.
Why would the reporter mention females when they don’t play against the men. We’re clearly talking about men. Context is key. This is political correctness going full autism
I think because they said first American. An American can be woman or man. So saying he is the first isn't true. But he is the first american man to advance.
If the reporter was talking to a woman, he'd most probably have said 'first female player' even though he was clearly talking to someone who's female. So why not in this case?

There was no reason to correct him. He was obviously talking about the men's tour. When quoting stats you don't take into account junior performance, doubles, mixed doubles and wheel chair players etc.
wdym standing up? its a press conference/interview about the mens game, it goes without saying? why would you have to make it clear when every single human with a brain understands that they're talking about the mens sport... same thing with women and their interviews, when someone talks about a woman tennis player that broke a record they dont have to specifially say that she's for example "the first womens player to win" everybody knows that theyre talking about the womens game. exceptions are if the sports had mixed athletes (both men and women)...
In the context of the interview, it was obvious that the journalist was refering to male players, but Andy Muray is a "woke" who wants to make an easy point outside the tennis court.
Knowing how comments are whenever a woman brings up women, I wonder what people would have said if the person correcting the journalist wasn't Andy Murray but a woman instead.
@@10thletter40 not as much as it depends on the gender of the speaker. I wish I could throw some examples at you but I tried to hold the opinion that it was what they said or goes they said it, but was forced over time to acknowledge that audiences just behave differently for male and female speakers.
People are making a huge deal out of nothing as usual, the reporter 100% didn't intent any disrespect or sexism or racism or whatever people are saying in them comments.
That's the problem with sexism and racism . . . it's often not intended, but it still has a big effect on people's lives, even when it wasn't meant to do so. You excusing it because it wasn't intended makes you part of the ongoing problem.

@@nunoafonso2593 The statement "Sam is the first U.S. player to reach a major semi-final since 2009" was not correct.

@@susieusmaximus5330 The questioner acknowledged it because he's a reporter interviewing a star athlete on camera. He just said OK and moved on.

Andy was on camera and wanted to look good to an easy crowd.
It's just not true to say that Quarrie was the first American to reach the semifinal of a grand slam since 2009, when Serena Williams--the greatest female tennis player of all time--had won(!) the past two Wimbledons at the time this was said. It's erasing a modern great for no reason. It would be like if Paula Badosa got to the French Open semi-finals this year and the reporter said that she was the first Spaniard to get that far in 10 years and completely ignored the existence of Nadal. It's just false to say it. You don't work that hard to achieve that much in your career to just have it ignored. It's disrespectful.

FFS. This was a post-match press conference for a men's match that had just transpired. That's the context. The reporter wasn't 'sexist'. He wasn't 'wrong'. If the same thing had happened on the distaff side, do you really think there'd be the same hue-and-cry? As it's been pointed out, we have created a culture where people are just DYING to take offence. Take umbrage. Ponce about in high dudgeon. It's not only ridiculous, it's insulting.
Okay Murray haha I’ve never found Murray attractive but that was kinda HOT 😂😂✊🏽✊🏽 it was so quick like his feminism is at the front of his mind. Yaass.
Virtue signaling par excellence. Murray plays in the men’s game. Not in the women’s game. Not in Junior Wimbledon. The question was made in good faith with zero attempt to belittle anyone. Guardiola plays this game too. It’s done not with any sense of solidarity, but to send a signal to the world of what wonderful people they are. Pathetic.
100% agree. But the Virtue Signaling Woke Police disagree. And I'm a very liberal guy, ftr. But so many on the Left have gone mob mad. It's a fucking shame.
yeah. males and females don’t compete in the same tourneys, so it’s kind of obvious the reporter was referring to the male version of the tournament, seeing as he’s asking questions of a male. It was dumb. Maybe Murray was trying to be nice or whatever, but it was kind of pointless and dumb
"Male League"?! They compete at separate venues, now? The reporter said 'American player' at Wimbledon and misspoke in doing so - Murray made an obvious correction.
Now for equality the women should play the same number of sets for the same pay as the men! Equal pay means equal work and it would be more interesting to watch.
I think you should look into the meaning of equality. Equality doesn't mean identical, it means fair on both parts, where it is acknowledged that there are differences. Female bodies differ from male bodies, therefore it is necessary to take that into consideration. THIS means equality.
@@lara1413 You could argue there is actually no equality in forcing men to play 5 sets as it causes accumulating fatigue and increases the chances of them getting injured or performing poorley in their next match. It's done purley for entertainment and by that logic why dont we force women to play 5 sets too... its pretty exiting to watch the women who was dominating the first 2 sets start to make more and more unforced errors and crack under the pressure because she is too fatigued to continue to play at a high level. The whole 5 set rule is ridiculous to begin with as it applies soley in the grand slams and no other events in the ATP so players who have qualified and are inexperienced are automatically disadvantaged... wheres the equality in that? The guys who play qualifying matches only play 3 sets too but then are forced to switch to 5 sets in the first round... I could go on and on about this topic but dont act like there is only inequality in the womens game as it applies to the mens game just as much.
So this receives appreciation, but when John very correctly said Serena is not the best tennis player, but only the best female player, all hell broke lose. So I guess we are only allowed to praise the females and if we correctly say that they are not as good in some things, then it is just patriarchy.
Murrays response to the journalist;s ‘mistake’was dignified and affirmative. After a gruelling and painful match where he courageously gave all to the last for his fans he showed true professionalism and if anyone had the right to correct this journalist’s carelessness it was him. I have not been particularly a Murray or a big tennis fan, but from today I admire him, big time. Thank you Andy for having the courage to stand by your principals. Any post here from Ali to Prima Stove that wants to undermine the significance of this comment as anything other than prejudice is wrong. It may have been thoughtless of him, but he is a journalist with a responsibility for truth and he has highlighted as have the negative comments below, the strain of unconscious prejudice that many of us hold. Beware. We have come a long way in addressing unequality across gender and race but there is a long long way to go throughout the world, and comments like this in 2017 need to be addressed at the source as Murray did in a natural and unselfconscious manner. Thanks a million Andy I hope a lot more people on public platforms engage as you have and effectively renew the debate and remind us all to be vigilant. Good luck to you and Mrs Murray for your new arrival and take a well earned rest. love from a new big fan.
As a huge Murray fan I am always delighted to welcome a new admirer. He is one of the most misunderstood characters there is. He believes in a fair equal society and if that starts by correcting the way we speak then good on him. He wasn't offended and neither were the majority of people (particularly women) but he recognised what the reporter said was wrong. That is more apparent when reporters speak to Serena and ask her about certain stats they always add 'women'. So that shows that the comment was wrong not offensive. Hail King Murray. Love the man!
You're full of yourself and full of shit. Any reasonable person knows he was talking about the mens division. You're just taking him to task because it fits whatever agenda you're shoving down someone's throat at the moment.

@@your.favorite.detective25 Murray is a limey lapdog. One of the reasons he wasn't a great player. Almost ever comment is the same so it doesn't require a different response.
Why didn't he give respect to the Bryan brothers? Or to Nicholas Taylor? Are they not "male players" from the US who had played in multiple major semi-finals since 2009? The reporter was obviously talking about men's singles, non-wheelchair major semi-finals. What was Andy's excuse? He tried to be pedantic and failed.
The reporter didn't forget anything. He was talking to a male tennis player who had just competed in singles, so it was pretty obvious what he was reffering to. Murray was being pretentious.
As a side note. Serena Williams was asked if she would play an exhibition match against Andy Murray, when he was returning from injury and below his best. Serena's answer went something like this, "Are you mad. He'd wipe the court with me. He's a man. I'd look stupid!" This from arguably the best, most powerful women's tennis player in history.
Kinda shows that if you're an adult and a professional, you don't make a big fuss out of this stuff that gets blown out of proportion. Obviously there's physical difference, she knows it, he knows it, we know it. It's like complaining that 12 year olds aren't as good as adults in football or something. Just different physicality. If you're the best of your kind, any kind, you've probably earned it.

Of course there were other Americans that went to the semis at Wimbledon if you include doubles and junior boys and junior girls. Language has meaning in context, the context was clear, Murray was being a jerk b/c he was in a pissy mood and he gets a pat on the back from the SJW ‘allies’. Pathetic.
I like a professional who remembers records on players who are not even challenging him. To me, that is mental commitment.
Totally agree. Impressive gentleman.
I would imagine that he watched it. Doubt the same could be said of the reporter.
Oh, do you now?! Why didn't Andy remember that the Bryan brothers had been in multiple major semi-finals since 2009?! He was completely wrong. He tried to claim that Sam Querrey was the first US male payer to reach a major semi-final since 2009, which was completely false. It was obvious that the reporter was talking about men's singles tennis. Andy's needless, cheeky and inaccurate "correction" should have got him a clip round the ears for his narkiness. The pup!
He’s pure class. And a legend.
We love you, Andy. We will miss your interviews! Happy retirement, hero.
A king doesn't have a fragile ego.💯
The Williams sisters are in fact American. Nice job, Andy. He handled that like a pro... and wow, he was quick!
He was "quick" because his wife is watching. She has him by the balls (pun not intended).
@@EliasCohen881 That's OK since there was no pun in the first place.

I’m looking through lots of Andy vids with the news he’s due to retire. He prob should of retired a couple of years back with his injuries but I don’t think a lot of ppl actually realise that he’s the first person to receive that operation to ever return to professional sports of any quality at all.
As a fellow Scot I suppose I’m biased but Andy really is a hero . I’m a massive football and rugby fan but there’s no doubt that if anyone asked me what’s the most special sporting moment a I’ve been alive for and seen it’s Murray winning Wimbledon the first time . Honestly it was something no one thought would happen
Another top performance from Andy there.

@@teesha_. Exactly!
This video never gets old.
The reporter isn’t being sexist, there talking about the men’s tour it’s implied that he’s talking about male US players. Also specifically men’s singles, because the Bryan brother’s are from the US and have won plenty of slams in doubles, so context is everything.
When it comes to these sort of issues, logic and reason fly out the window
You need another (edited) in your comment. As in _they're_ talking about the men's tour, not "there" as in a place.
I mean, if a reporter said the same to the Williams sister and they don't clarify, you know for a fact some folks would throw a hissy fit.
So why was McEnroe dragged for saying "Serena Williams is the best female player in the world" ? The double standard is appalling.
McEnroes statement is a matter of opinion that can be argued. What this reporter did was make a statement that was inaccurate.
@@sjw4life546 McEnroe made an accurate statement. Serena has never played in a men's league. Only in the women's league. And she's number one, only having played women. So therefore, it's not just an opinion, it's a fact.
He was dragged for saying Serena Williams would be ranked 700 in the world if she played on the ATP tour.
@@thewhite8uard thank you for making that clarification
@@thewhite8uard And was he wrong? He made an objective analysis of her skill in comparison with the men.

Guys did you here that when he was corrected he DID NOT say "oh I'm sorry I was referring to men's tennis not tennis in general".
No he accepted his mistake, accepted the correction.
Of course there was nothing sexist in the question as clearly there was no intent or malice. However it was inaccurate and it was politely corrected by AM.
Same sport but different leagues so why compare the two
He was just being polite. The reporter also forgot about American mens doubles players as well. So probably not sexist at all, just didn't want to ask a clumsy question.
@@giorus Except it wasn't corrected at all. The Bryan brothers had played in multiple major semi-finals between 2009 and 2017. Nicholas Taylor played in many major semi-finals in wheelchair tennis too over those years. Murray hadn't a clue and his "correction" was inaccurate.
@@frankrandall8875 Exactly. The reporter could have said "No, you pedantic little Scottish fuck.

Thank you!
No, because he isn’t the first US player. So it’s factually incorrect.
“Game respects game.”
The fact that the reporter is American and failed to acknowledge something like that is crazy. Venus and Serena are America’s pride and joy when it comes to tennis.
Maybe the reporter was thinking of players better than 700th in the world.
Of course the reporter meant male players because he's talking about the atp. Also didn't Andy roddick make the finals again at Wimbledon
Murray is a huge activist for female rights and equality so the reporter really should’ve been careful on his facts and words
Actually the reporter got his facts spot on. They were talking about games in the ATP, which is for male players, so mentioning Serena Williams is irrelevant as she competes in the WTA. Andy Murray just being a smart ass trying to score some PC pts, probably on advice of his hideous mother
It wasn't a sexist comment. In the context of the interview, they were talking about men's tennis. Some people just look for things to be offended by.
You're one of those type of people aren't you?
They were obviously talking about men's singles tennis. Not men's wheelchair tennis or men's doubles tennis or mixed doubles tennis or women's doubles tennis or women's wheelchair tennis or women's singles tennis. Andy's "correction" was actually wrong. The Bryan brothers (both "male player[s]" from the US) were actually in multiple major semi-finals since 2009. Nicholas Taylor was in many men's wheelchair tennis major semi-finals over the years between 2009 and 2017 also. Andy was so wrong and so ignorant and he actually thought he was right and virtuous!

😁👍
Do you understand now, NPR? This is why you distinguish male from female tennis players. It allows you to convey more factual information in a story.
The fact was already implicated through deductive reasoning.
As someone else said in this comment thread: "McEnroe specifies that Serena's the greatest WOMAN tennis player (and not GOAT across men and women for obvious reasons) and people scream sexism, Murray specifies women have made it further whilst talking about the men's tour and he's a hero". Specificity is prized when it favors women but is condemnded as sexism when it just does not favor them, that is a double standard and a hypocrisy. Also the reporter in this video was talking in context.
Something us wrong. I also came to make the same comment. McEnroe was in trouble for specifying that Serana Williams was the best female player....and here Murray is praised for being specific.
Context and humor are lost on some people.
I am totally on board with this and he was correct in pointing it out. So was McEnroe when he specified that Serene Williams was the best female player but not the best player.
The reporter was clearly speaking within the context of the male tennis game... This wasn't a doubles or women's match, so it would be weird to specify every time that you're referring to male players...
@@FreedomOfTħought Agreed. That´s why we have the WTA and ATP. When reporters speak with wta or atp players, it is with regards to that, unless if mixed doubles or specifically asking about the wta or atp.

Andy and Serena are so respectable towards one another, and others

Love it somebody is standing up.
wdym standing up? its a press conference/interview about the mens game, it goes without saying? why would you have to make it clear when every single human with a brain understands that they're talking about the mens sport... same thing with women and their interviews, when someone talks about a woman tennis player that broke a record they dont have to specifially say that she's for example "the first womens player to win" everybody knows that theyre talking about the womens game. exceptions are if the sports had mixed athletes (both men and women)...
Standing up for what?
In the context of the interview, it was obvious that the journalist was refering to male players, but Andy Muray is a "woke" who wants to make an easy point outside the tennis court.
Knowing how comments are whenever a woman brings up women, I wonder what people would have said if the person correcting the journalist wasn't Andy Murray but a woman instead.
I wouldn't have checked the comments that's for sure..
Lots of "karen" name-calling that's for sure

@@10thletter40 not as much as it depends on the gender of the speaker.

People are making a huge deal out of nothing as usual, the reporter 100% didn't intent any disrespect or sexism or racism or whatever people are saying in them comments.
That's the problem with sexism and racism . . . it's often not intended, but it still has a big effect on people's lives, even when it wasn't meant to do so.

It would be like if Paula Badosa got to the French Open semi-finals this year and the reporter said that she was the first Spaniard to get that far in 10 years and completely ignored the existence of Nadal.

The whole 5 set rule is ridiculous to begin with as it applies soley in the grand slams and no other events in the ATP so players who have qualified and are inexperienced are automatically disadvantaged... wheres the equality in that? The guys who play qualifying matches only play 3 sets too but then are forced to switch to 5 sets in the first round...

I have not been particularly a Murray or a big tennis fan, but from today I admire him, big time. Thank you Andy for having the courage to stand by your principals. Any post here from Ali to Prima Stove that wants to undermine the significance of this comment as anything other than prejudice is wrong. It may have been thoughtless of him, but he is a journalist with a responsibility for truth and he has highlighted as have the negative comments below, the strain of unconscious prejudice that many of us hold. Beware. We have come a long way in addressing unequality across gender and race but there is a long long way to go throughout the world, and comments like this in 2017 need to be addressed at the source as Murray did in a natural and unselfconscious manner. Thanks a million Andy I hope a lot more people on public platforms engage as you have and effectively renew the debate and remind us all to be vigilant. Good luck to you and Mrs Murray for your new arrival and take a well earned rest. love from a new big fan.
As a huge Murray fan I am always delighted to welcome a new admirer. He is one of the most misunderstood characters there is. He believes in a fair equal society and if that starts by correcting the way we speak then good on him. He wasn't offended and neither were the majority of people (particularly women) but he recognised what the reporter said was wrong. That is more apparent when reporters speak to Serena and ask her about certain stats they always add 'women'. So that shows that the comment was wrong not offensive. Hail King Murray. Love the man!
You're full of yourself and full of shit. Any reasonable person knows he was talking about the mens division. You're just taking him to task because it fits whatever agenda you're shoving down someone's throat at the moment.
Ah yes. Context. The most sexist thing of all.
He "courageously" gave his all, lol never in my life would I of thought you could play Tennis courageously and still get paid too.
@@thisisnotmylocker3913 Well now you know,mein freund...
Ah, just when I thought I couldn't dislike Murray any more
By far the only ATP player who cares for women's side in tennis he regularly post videos watching women's matches and already said he wanna be women's coach.
Who cares.
so now people cannot ask about male players?? what an idiot
Not really fair on the reporter
As he was talking about male players given the context of the conversation
How can you forget GOATs like Williams?
easy. no one cares about women's sports
@@johntallanger4036 you’re almost in every comment saying the same bs. Definitely trolling lmao
@@your.favorite.detective25 Murray is a limey lapdog. One of the reasons he wasn't a great player.
Almost ever comment is the same so it doesn't require a different response.
serena is no goat, she wouldnt even be pro if she played against men
What difference do they make? Clearly we're talking about men's tennis
Simpin' ain't easy.
Exactly
Hahaha. ‘It’s hard out here for a simp..’
You have no idea what the word simp means
Don't be toxic Suusaaaaarrrrrnnn
@@lunamotocross So, the Urban Dictionary's definition is way off?
It's kinda obvious that the reporter was referring to male players.
why is it always the male athletes giving the respect to female athletes and not the losers in their keyboard living in their mom's basement?
weird correction, i feel like as a reporter talking to a male athlete, he would be referring to the mens game unless otherwise noted.
That is the way people should act. When you respect people and give credit where it is due we all win. This man is number one in my mind.
Why didn't he give respect to the Bryan brothers? Or to Nicholas Taylor? Are they not "male players" from the US who had played in multiple major semi-finals since 2009? The reporter was obviously talking about men's singles, non-wheelchair major semi-finals. What was Andy's excuse? He tried to be pedantic and failed.
And they both forgot the doubles players
And the wheelchair players.
The reporter didn't forget anything. He was talking to a male tennis player who had just competed in singles, so it was pretty obvious what he was reffering to. Murray was being pretentious.
@Kevin L you read and rate your own comments? That’s just plain weird
As a side note. Serena Williams was asked if she would play an exhibition match against Andy Murray, when he was returning from injury and below his best. Serena's answer went something like this, "Are you mad. He'd wipe the court with me. He's a man. I'd look stupid!" This from arguably the best, most powerful women's tennis player in history.
Kinda shows that if you're an adult and a professional, you don't make a big fuss out of this stuff that gets blown out of proportion. Obviously there's physical difference, she knows it, he knows it, we know it. It's like complaining that 12 year olds aren't as good as adults in football or something. Just different physicality. If you're the best of your kind, any kind, you've probably earned it.
He isn’t just a man, he is one of the top male tennis players in the world.
How dare he assume their gender! What a transphobe
How dare you assume his gender you're a genderphobe.
The class didn’t get the recognition it deserved.
