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

yeah uh players do and that's a good thing that's what i wanted i wanted them to get mad and get frustrated because that's that's basically when i knew i was uh doing my absolute best out there is when frustrating my opponents when they can't get a racket on my serve and they don't have much rhythm that's typically when i was playing my best ball sometimes i would even feel uncomfortable out on the court but

At the same time, I needed to realize that my opponents were feeling more uncomfortable than I was.

Fans alike, big servers, we're affectionately known as serve bots, as Mike Ryan definitely knows about that term.

And yeah, like fans like to poke fun of us as like being serve bots, but like, what do you want us to do?
