The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Best of DLS: Chris Steals Greg's Laptop

I like it, and I'm still very happy to be a part of it.

at unprecedented ages and how much of that was not just the sport and the loneliness of of the sport breaking them but the fact that they're trying to conquer the unconquerable yeah i think for top of my head like you name some european players like uh you guys would know like a thomas burditch is an unbelievable czech player who's never able to win a grand slam because of those three

I mean, for me, I can show myself lucky to play in the same era of those guys, but it's not like I was getting thwarted by one of those three guys at every single Grand Slam in the quarters or the semifinals.

So I don't have that feeling, but certainly a lot of players do.

There are a lot of incredible players.

David Ferrer of Spain, without Rafa, probably has a Grand Slam on his resume and might be in the Hall of Fame, but he doesn't now.

There's a heck of a player, ridiculous career.

But those players were very selfish.

And the top two players in our game right now, of course, in center and Alcaraz are also selfish.

They're going for eight straight Grand Slam wins between the two of them here at the US Open.

I can hold my own with my serve.

I actually saw some highlights of Rod Laver playing on grass years and years ago.

He was an absurd athlete.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

So I think even a guy like Laver would do well in today's modern game.

But yeah, you got to favor, of course, the greats like Johnny Mack and Bjorn Borg or someone like myself.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Best of DLS: Chris Steals Greg's Laptop

Although I haven't said that, I could definitely hold serve against those two and make them sweat a lot.

Thank you, guys.
