  1. I remember a female player saying “idk how I won. I just tried to hit tha ball back into the court!”
    Instinctive tennis after you have put in the work during training.
    Thank you Andy! What an awesome guest!

  2. They said tennis will go downhill without Federer and Nadal but record numbers ever since! Also recording numbers sell out for finals involving Djokovic as opposed to others interesting is it? They said he’s not loved

  3. I loved what Roddick said about " whatever fame or success one has, it just exaggerates what's always been there, good or bad" ? dang that translates to everything in life

  4. I see woman beater Nick Kyrgios Liam Brody (rhymes with Nobody) and chronic first round loser Dennis Shapo claiming that all players and punishments should be the same standard. Never mind that Jensen Brooksby, which Nick cited yesterday as an example of a same standard refused the test three times in a row a completely different situation than Sinner. These narcissistic headline mongers don't know the difference between the two.
    They're also claiming everyone got different suspensions due to money and power but
    Ignorant Nick has no idea that Halep was also a number one in the world married then to a billionaire as well and Sharapova the wealthiest female tennis player in history and they both have a lot more money than Sinner today. So they all have different circumstances but these ignoramus folks like Nick because of admitted drug use, drinking problems and spousal battery is just ghetto and shouldn't be listened to. Given all that I have no idea why the US Open broadcast on ABC and espn is employing this spouse abuser. Women where are you! Please write abc and espn!!

  5. Thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s so good to have a voice like Seal on the live show and to get this beautiful perspective as well as the similarities between his art or career. Andy I can’t say this enough thank you so much for filling the tennis space with your knowledge and perspective. This is so good for the sport and the tennis community 👏

  6. As a former athlete, it’s so sad to hear you defending sinner. The “billionth of a gram” defense makes zero sense. Why even drug test at all then?

  7. I really enjoyed Seal as a special guest. Especially the time and thoughtfulness he would put into answering questions.

    Andy more live shows and Q & A’s. it’s the best part of the show for me and your genuine nature of answering them truthfully.

  8. I can listen to him talk everyday oh my god thanks for bringing him on the show. It’s such a breath of fresh air wow

  9. I hope you do this live podcast for Indian Wells 2025! I would have myself and my friends attend. Seal was a great addition. I am in a point of my life where I find myself reflecting much more. I resonated a ton with the topics, especially having tennis be a form of therapy. Tennis is sport that gives a ton to its people. I wish there was more community events though. I would ask, how could someone start tennis events in their home town? It would be cool to host an event where people can come out and play tennis for the first time, demo racquets, get gear, etc. Thanks!

  10. super interesting stuff, as always. I'm just really surprised Seal doesn't think Iga is dominating the women's tour – come one, mister, she's got more Slams and other titles than Jan or Carlitos!

  11. Wow Seal is so well spoken and knowledgeable. I can listen to him speak forever.
    Awesome to get him on Andy! And thanks for letting him speak and not interrupting him.

  12. What a show that was. I thought that Seal made a fabulous guest and his deep philosophies made for really interesting listening.
    Now; if you get Fed on as a guest you will literally break the internet… ;o)

  13. Andy, you have recently converted me into a fan of your rational mind.

    So irritating to listen to some talk shows and i dont even bother coz im a busy surgeon.

    Thank you for this!

  14. When Seal was talking about the similarities between tennis & music, the athlete/artist that came to mind first was Maestro Roger Federer. Second, it was El Greco & Greek God – Stefanos Tsitsipas. Both gorgeous stylistic rhythmic performers on the tennis court. Stef Tsitsipas is a musician as well & has his music albums on Spotify & Apple Music.

  15. Seal giving Italian Tennis so much love is everything 😍🇮🇹
    I could listen to him talking for days 😅

  16. Great guest & lovely person, Seal. Also Mr. Jon Wertheim doesn’t get enough love in your comments. I enjoy his soft voice, gentle manners, and his love and knowledge of sports, especially tennis.

  17. Fantastic panel/discussion. I had never heard Seal speak on or discuss a subject, apart from his music and Wow! I’m looking at him through different and much brighter lenses. Thank you for bringing this to us!

  18. That's not a podcast episode, it's a MASTERCLASS.
    It's a free lesson, with open heart, about tennis, music, and more than anything, life.

    Thanks Andy to put that on YT.
    wow

  19. What a show! My admiration to all of you. I think what made me enjoy it so much is the unifying theme in the background: the love, appreciation and enjoyment of life
