Silver medals are worse than bronze medals

I lost the gold... You either win the gold, lose the gold or win the bronze. ... I think silver's worse than bronze. ... you gotta win to get the bronze right. You're elated, right? Like you got a medal. And I was devastated that I lost the gold.

Subjective but based on psychological studies of athlete happiness.

Novak Djokovic is the greatest tennis player of all time

Novak is [the GOAT]. Yes. ... Novak is just because it's like, Roger won, Roger won one French... Novak has won a few French and like, I mean he's won I think 12 Australian opens. I mean, just incredible. And I played the three of them a bunch and I never beat Novak.

Subjective debate, though Djokovic leads in major titles.

Novak Djokovic is the undisputed GOAT of tennis

Carlos Alcaraz... he got fucking worked by Kovich the goat. Djokovic is 37 years old and I thought, big bad Carlos Alcaraz, no one can beat this guy. Not so fast.

GOAT status is subjective, though Djokovic holds the statistical records.

Jannik Sinner's steroid excuse about a trainer's massage is complete bullshit

The explanation is his trainer... accidentally sliced his thumb. And then used one of those new skin type sprays on his cut... and then later on in the day, gave Sinner a full body massage. And that's how the chemical got onto Sinner's body. If an agency is named [the International Tennis Integrity Agency], it's explicitly corny. There's no better mark that that agency is completely full of shit.

Whether the excuse is literally true is disputed, but PFT's claim is an opinion on its credibility. Sinner was cleared of wrongdoing by the ITIA.

Djokovic is the undisputed GOAT of tennis after winning Olympic gold

Djokovic is the goat. One gold big deal. On Clay beating Nadal. Beat, beat the whole country of Spain.

Whether he is the GOAT is subjective, but his 24 Grand Slams and Olympic gold make this the consensus statistical view.

The French Open court conditions were to blame for Novak Djokovic's meniscus injury

He blamed the court surface because of the rain. He asked them to wipe it multiple times and they did not approve... could this injury have been prevented? Possibly if there was just a little bit more frequent care of the court.

Djokovic himself cited the surface as the cause for his tear, though medical proof that wiping the court would have prevented it is impossible.

Carlos Alcaraz's future grand slams will be 'Mickey Mouse majors' compared to Djokovic's era

[Djokovic] had to go against Roger [Federer] and Rafa [Nadal] and won all those. So Alcaraz is going to win Mickey Mouse majors. That's fine.

This is a subjective opinion about the strength of competition in different tennis eras.

Novak Djokovic is officially the greatest tennis player of all time

He won his 10th Australian Open. He is now tied with Rafa at all 22 men's singles Grand Slam. ... That's the goat. That's the goat.

Djokovic eventually surpassed Nadal and Federer in total Grand Slams and weeks at #1, strengthening the case.

Novak Djokovic is the best tennis player of all time

I personally have a soft spot for Roger. I think he's great. But I do think Djokovic is actually the best.

Djokovic eventually surpassed the others in Grand Slam titles, strengthening this 'best' argument.

Novak Djokovic is the tennis GOAT

Novak Djokovic... He's the fucking goat. Suck on this dick, Jake. I am the number one Novak Djokovic fan out there. He wins his 18th title. 18th major... He's the fucking goat.

As of 2024, Djokovic holds the record for most Grand Slam titles (24), strengthening the statistical argument for him being the GOAT.

Novak Djokovic is a scumbag for his selfish COVID restriction requests

Australian Open, Australia has COVID under control... Djokovic sent in basically his own list of requests and suggestions on how they can actually do a better job with COVID... His suggestions were to basically lessen the restrictions, make it easier. Basically, he was selfish.

Djokovic's requests were widely panned by the Australian public and government officials at the time.

Novak Djokovic is the GOAT of tennis over Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal

I hate to say this but Novak's got to into slams in 2019. Federer has none. So he's better right now... he is the goat. All right, and he beat him in Wimbledon. No big deal.

Djokovic now holds the record for most Grand Slam titles and most weeks at number one, making this take arguably correct in the long term.

Novak Djokovic is the GOAT of tennis

He [Djokovic] also probably wanted to let Nadal and Federer and Wawrinka can play each other. One of you idiots can win while the GOAT rests up his shoulder.

Djokovic eventually surpassed both Federer and Nadal in Grand Slam titles and weeks at #1, validating this take for many.

Pete Sampras is the tennis GOAT

I was actually rooting for Djokovic too because the more that you can poke holes in Federer's resume, the more you can say Sampras is the GOAT. ... He is the goat. Sampras is the goat.

While subjective, Sampras's 14 titles have been eclipsed by Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer, making this a minority view today.

Wimbledon is a top-tier sport to take a nap through

Mount Rushmore of sports to take a nap through. I've been napping a lot through Wimbledon because it's the green. It's early to quiet. It's just a little bit of grunts here and there. But other than that, it's a nice little ease into a nap Wimbledon.

This is a subjective opinion on the watchability of tennis.

You cannot be the GOAT of tennis if your specialty is clay

I don't think that you can be GOAT if your specialty is the clay. It's like basically Steph Curry using the three-point shot as his crutch. If we want to get into it, really the goat should just be the best player on grass.

Nadal has won all four Grand Slams, but Big Cat's point about clay dominance is a common, if flawed, point of debate among fans.

I would beat Mike Greenberg in tennis if my life was on the line

If my life was depending on it, I would practice enough and do enough to beat him because I knew my life was on it. [Greeny] can't even play his one little nerd sport better than [me]. He's probably better than me at all, but in that given situation, not only would I try and beat him, the best way to do it would be try and somehow hurt him during the match so he couldn't finish.

This is a purely hypothetical and subjective scenario between the two radio partners.
