Monday Match Analysis
Hi Gill, Sorry in advance, as this is a bit of a long one. Thank you so much for your excellent commentary, I love listening to your tennis takes and analysis whenever you post them. You’ve helped me start to watch tennis more insightfully and analytically, and I love that. I have a few questions: 1) In your “Nadal Withdraws from Rome” video, you mentioned how many tennis players, including Federer and Đoković, have delusional confidence. Do you have any examples of delusional confidence in Federer/Đoković or other players? I’m not sure if this counts as delusional confidence, but I know recently Zverev predicted himself to win Madrid and possibly Roland Garros this year, despite having yet to beat a top 20 player this season. (From the 2023 Predictions | Clay Court Editon video). Do you have any good, possibly famous, examples of delusional confidence? 2) Lastly, do you have any favorite players? (ie. Any players you frequently root for to do well in a tournament). I know rooting for someone to do well can be tricky if you are supposed to analyze the game objectively, and it can also be for a variety of reasons, namely wanting to see a player’s game development, but are there any personalities/play styles that you find particularly drawn to? I know in your Monte Carlo video, you seemed fairly happy when Rublev won his first Masters 1000 (granted, who didn’t) and picked Sinner to beat Medvedev in Miami despite that not being the “logical” choice. Thanks for all you do!

My favourite tennis podcast bar none. The level of in depth tactical analysis is unparalleled as far as I’m aware. I’ve learned more about tennis from Gill just in the past year or so, since I’ve started listening, than I’ve gotten from nearly two decades of watching ESPN tennis broadcasts - and...Read full review »
