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.

Locking a tennis player in a ball closet for hours is great coaching

[David Ferrer's coach] locked him in a completely dark two meter by two meter ball closet for several hours, giving him only a piece of bread and a bit of water... That's great coaching. That's a football guy in a tennis guy's body.

The effectiveness of such 'coaching' is highly debatable and culturally specific, making it a subjective opinion.

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 is the undisputed GOAT of tennis

Roger Federer, now the GOAT. His 20th [Major].

While Federer was the GOAT then, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal eventually surpassed his Grand Slam total.

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.

Roger Federer is the GOAT and the classiest athlete of all time

He's the GOAT, but he's also the classiest. So a lot of class getting thrown around when we talk about Federer. The gentleman. Just the smoothness with which he plays. That is a guy that you want to be dating your daughter.

The 'GOAT' status is subjective, though Federer was widely considered so at the time.

Serena Williams can't be the G.O.A.T. athlete if she won't play Wimbledon while 9 months pregnant

I am upset, though, that Serena's not playing because she's pregnant. So I guess she can play when she's just like three months pregnant, but she can't play when she's nine? Fully pregnant... I can think of 700 male tennis players that would be fine playing when their wives were pregnant.

Purely satirical take based on absurd logic.

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.

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.

The GOAT of tennis should be the best player on grass because real goats live on grass

Really the goat should just be the best player on grass. [PFT]: Yeah, Wimbledon. Because goats live on grass. So Rafa [Nadal], I guess, sure. I don't know.

This is a joke based on wordplay, not a serious claim.

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.

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.

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.
