I'm counting Novak Djokovic's Wimbledon loss as his 25th major because Jannik Sinner is a cheater

I'm counting this as Novak Djokovic's 25th major because he played [Sinner] better than Alcaraz played [Sinner]. And [Sinner] is a sinner and he's a cheater. So therefore Ipso Facto Djokovic is the goat 25th major Grand Slam championship.

Djokovic literally lost the final (to Alcaraz in 2024, but the transcript frames it around Sinner). Djokovic did not win a 25th major at this event.

I have a prediction. I think ESPN is going to put Serena [Williams] number one. Just to make people mad.

Serena Williams will play in a tennis tournament again despite her 'retirement'

She will play again... I should try to get a bet on the Barstool Sportsbook. Will Serena ever play in a tournament again? Cuz I feel like you win a lot of money.

As of late 2024, Serena Williams has not officially played in another professional tournament, though she has teased it frequently.

Serena Williams is definitely not retired

I'd just like to call my shot real quick. She's not, she's not retired. Yeah, definitely not retired. She is not retired.

Despite some teasing, Serena has remained retired from professional tennis since the 2022 US Open.

Nadal winning mostly on clay makes him a Mickey Mouse champion

It's Mickey Mouse to have to only win on one surface. Well, I think he also won the Australian, right? ... 14 of his 22 are at Roland Garros.

While Nadal is dominant on clay, he has won multiple Slams on grass and hard courts, making the 'only win on one surface' claim factually incorrect.

Novak Djokovic is the undisputed GOAT and will win the US Open for the Calendar Grand Slam

Djokovic, it's over. He won his 20th grand slam title, Wimbledon. It's over, he's tied Federer and [Nadal]. He's slightly younger than those guys. He's going to win at the US Open. That's the calendar year grand slam.

Djokovic lost the 2021 US Open final to Daniil Medvedev, failing to complete the Calendar Grand Slam that year.

Novak Djokovic will complete the 'Golden Slam' by winning the Olympics and the US Open

I'm not a huge Djokovic fan. However, if he pulls off the joke slam [Golden Slam] this year—by winning an Olympic gold medal and then the US Open—that's something that we'll never see accomplished again [in] our lifetime.

Djokovic failed to win gold at the Tokyo Olympics (lost to Zverev) and lost the US Open final to Medvedev, so the Golden Slam did not happen.

Rafael Nadal is the undisputed GOAT of tennis after his 13th French Open title

Rafa Nadal won the French Open today... 13 Roland Garros titles... Number 13 number 20 overall. I think searching Rafa ended the debate today. You know, he just unquestionable GOAT talk to me in five years.

Nadal eventually won 22, but Novak Djokovic has since surpassed both with 24 Grand Slams, making this take factually dated.

Tennis players should get a point for hitting a line judge

I think they should just make a new sport where the lines are always live and if you hit a line judge, you get an extra point. ... A dodgeball tennis hybrid. ... I'm saying you should get a point added on.

This is a satirical suggestion for a rule change that obviously never happened.

Roger Federer should be investigated for PED use because he's been too good for too long

I'm thinking about doing a witch hunt with Federer. Has anybody ever looked into PEDs with him? Because it feels like he's been too good for too long... Roger Federer probably did PEDs.

There has never been a confirmed PED link to Roger Federer.

Serena Williams is the 'GOAT' and will win another Grand Slam

And then on the other side, Serena. We know she did PEDs. She got a fetus... Serena is yeah, gonna win again so she's the goat. Everyone says best athlete of all time.

Serena Williams reached four more Grand Slam finals after this (Wimbledon 2018/19, US Open 2018/19) but never won another title, retiring with 23.

Roger Federer will beat Rafael Nadal at the US Open

I'm going to go Federer.

Federer lost in the quarterfinals to Juan Martín del Potro, so the matchup with Nadal never happened. Nadal went on to win the tournament.

Serena Williams could beat Roger Federer

I'm going to say it. I think Serena could beat Roger Federer. Ooh, okay. I'm actually going to be the first person to say that, so come at me.

Serena Williams is widely considered the greatest female player ever, but she has stated herself she would struggle against top-tier men's players like Federer.

Pregnancy is technically a performance enhancing drug for athletes

Serena Williams how she got pregnant and how being pregnant is technically a performance enhancing drug because she has more blood in her system because she's not on the dot anymore and since she has more blood she's got more red blood cells which means she's circulating oxygen at a higher rate.

While pregnancy does increase blood volume, it is not classified as a PED by any sporting agency and brings significant physical challenges.

Maria Sharapova being caught for PEDs proves Serena Williams is using them too

My witch hunt is actually going to be, I think that this proves without a doubt that Serena Williams has been using PEDs. Because Sharapova is 2-19 against Serena Williams while Sharapova was taking PED.

There has never been evidence that Serena Williams used PEDs. Sharapova's failure to beat her while doped is likely just a talent gap.

The controversy between Raymond Moore and Serena Williams was a staged 'work'

I'm thinking that this guy [Raymond Moore] and Serena were in cahoots. And this was like, let's just get a little buzz going... I think this is all – I think it's a work.

There is no evidence the comments were staged; Moore resigned shortly after due to the backlash.
