I’m glad he did the dialed in motion. Just because people make it something it’s not does not mean he has to stop. Stay dialed in Ben.
I missed it thanks for the call. And I think it's funny AF that Novak did it too :)
They will have great matches.
After the first few editions of the Laver Cup, I remember I thought Team Europe was going to dominate this competition easy for many, many years. Team Europe did have Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray after all. How times have changed. Hopefully Alcaraz, Sinner, and Medvedev and maybe Djokovic can join Team Europe next year to make it more competitive. It was way too one-sided this year. Congrats to Team World!
Like the first four events were dominated by Team Europe. Now everyone talking about it needs to be more competitive, smh. Actually it was the most evenly matched LC to date.
@@707ladytee Well, when Team Europe won, it wasn't a complete blowout. The score was 13-2. Team Europe only won a single time out of all the matches. So how was it evenly matched? Do you think fans want to see one team winning all matches except one and ending with the first doubles game on the 3rd day?
Without the best players competing, this victory is pretty much irrelevant. Nobody cares if you beat a team Europe C team. Shelton is a joke.
Europe did have Murray?
This fucking loser played only 1 Laver Cup (2022) and he was the main reason why Europe lost the trophee for the first time.
@@707ladytee Lmao "evenly matched" are you sober mate? 13-2 is "evenly matched" ahahaha. This was the worst tennis event I've ever seen, regardless of whose winning there was a lack of superstars. Tennis fans can support World or Europe but everyone wants to see their favourite players play at the end of the day and no one got that.
Congratssssssssssssss to the whole team
People in this comment section are so jealous of Shelton 😂
Refreshing to see the complexion of tennis changing. I personally never had Big Time tennis skills but still love it and always will. Racket/Paddle sports rule.
I would like to see a more welcoming tennis culture and for the most part it certainly is, but it still suffers to a degree what hockey suffers from. I don't want to spell out the obvious. The counter argument would be that basketball is the reverse of that. I certainly wouldn't disagree with that assessment, and I think that is wrong as well.
@@Galactu5 Yeah there are a few Euro cats who obviously did well in US Hoops but the difference here when you think on it.... is that EVERYONE had access to a Ball, a set of sneaks and a hoop and equal opportunity...... :)
Congrats 🎊🍾🎈 ❤
Congratulations 🌍❤️🎉
Let's go World!
To getting their asses handed to them the first 4 times, team world has came a long way.
This is the most one sided Laver Cup ever. I am happy that Team World defended the title. But I feel bad Team Europe though. Although for 5 YEARS Straight they dominated team World.
Nope. Boston 2021 was.. Europe won 14-1. But yes this is the 2nd most one-sided Laver Cup. 😊
@@sportsview247 Okay yes thanks. So you would say Team Europe got a taste of their own medicine. They will rebuild because I love to see more fighting matches.
@@sportsview247 I think this year was more lopsided. While it's true that 14-1 looks more lopsided than 13-2, it's realistically the same, just that the single win came on day one instead of day two. Both match records were 8-1. In 2021, Team World at least managed to win seven sets. This year, Team Europe won a total of THREE SETS in nine matches.
@@InvisibleSoul8Over 3 days, team Europe manage to win 81 games compare to 110 for World
@@InvisibleSoul8 yea I know what you mean. When I saw World 4-0 up after day one, I sort of knew they'd run away with it.... Having said that the last match came down to 2 tie-breakers... If Europe wins that who knows what could have happened....So near yet so far. Heartbreaking for Europe. But yea World were solid and consistent throughout.
Let's go USA 7-6 7-6! Team World wins 13-2! That said, they started slow & sloppy against an aggressive Team Europe barely holding serve. Then at 4 all, TW dialed in. It never should've gotten to a tiebreak in the 2nd set, because they had the momentum at 5-4. Then Tiafoe started playfully talking smack to Rublev in the changeover. Johnny, Fritz, Shelton, & the team were like wtf in their silence & looked displeased in their facial expressions. Fritz & Johnny finally told Tiafoe to stop & focus on the game. Then Tiafoe carried that distracted, overconfident mentality into the next game, moving slower & sloppy with errors which brought it to 5 all. He plays too much! Before we knew it, another tiebreak & Shelton had to protect the team as he did throughout the tournament. Team Europe played very well throughout, but Team World had great communication & camaraderie on the bench & really focused to lift their game in the pressure moments.
You're a clown m8
All Top-5 Players of the World Ranking are europeans... and none of them is here.
You can't be serious to explain us why Team World was stronger. 😂
@@bobyvolley5639 Tell that to Federer and everyone else who acknowledged how well TW played. Y'all aren't even watching the full matches. I have. USA played like a beast.
@@got2bjoshDon't kid yourself. Without the best players competing, this victory is pretty much irrelevant. Nobody cares if you beat a team Europe C team. Shelton is a joke.
@@jacobschmidt2709 Whatever helps you sleep at night, Jingleheimer. Everyone knows Shelton's got the goods as the future of American tennis & will likely win a Slam. Laver himself said so. Shelton gets more respect from tennis professionals than you spooked haters who can't fathom the sport without You-Know-Who.
i like shelton but bro has got to stop with the phone thing. he can do better celebration wise😂, plus novak already destroyed it💀
He’s *dialed in.* That’s exactly what the phone gesture has always meant. Just because people insist to make it something it’s not doesn’t mean he has to stop - that’s their problem not his.
No he doesn't.
The celebration is there to make you cry. It works apparently
@@Crazy_DwarfWho cares? Without the best players competing, this victory is pretty much irrelevant. Nobody cares if you beat a team Europe C team. Shelton is a joke.
@@jacobschmidt2709 Well.. this competition has always been a joke and shouldn’t exist. Your point is irrelevant here
Told you that Ben is going to hang up the phone on them! 😅😅😅
a bit different when you don't have the 3 GOATs in your team
The Laver Cup could be a great competition but I think they should change one or two things to make it a more prestigious event. Maybe have it every two years and base it on the best players qualifying, similar to the Ryder Cup in golf. At the moment it feels like a bit of an exhibition or footnote event.
Not to me.
People need to chill about Shelton. Did he stole everybody's girlfriend in the comments or what ?
Racists threatened by his youth, talent, & star power. They only want Europeans, specifically You-Know-Who or Alcaraz.
Am I the only one who thinks this tournament could be more interesting with four teams?
They could be... Team America, Team Asia-Oceania and then split Europe into two teams. The "easiest and most logical" division would be Team West Europe and Team East Europe, but I fear that would raise old ghosts of the cold war. I think a north and south division would be more fun and less susceptible to politicization.
We would have a Team North Europe and a Team South Europe. An imaginary line would have to be drawn to determine which part each country plays, approximately at the latitude of Paris. Team North Europe would include the UK, the Scandinavian countries, Germany, Russia, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and others. Team South Europe would include France, Italy, Spain, Croatia, Serbia, Switzerland, Austria, Greece and others. This way it seems more or less balanced.
The four countries that host the four Grand Slams would each be on a different team.
With this division we could have a draw similar to this (just an example):
-Team America: Fritz, Tiafoe, Shelton, Paul, Baez, Cerundolo, Jarry, Auger-Aliassime
-Team Asia-Oceania: De Minaur, Popyrin, O'Connell, Thompson, Nishioka, Kwon, Yibing Wu, Zhizhen Zhang
-Team North Europe: Norrie, Ruud, Rune, Zverev, Lehecka, Medvedev, Rublev, Kachanov
-Team South Europe: Nole, Alcaraz, Sinner, Musetti, Tsitsipas, Coric, Dimitrov, Mannarino
Right now Team Asia-Oceania may be weaker, but tennis could gain popularity in Asia in the future. A format like this could even be a motivation for Asian players, making the sport more popular in China, India, Korea or Japan.
The problem is that I can't think of a way to fit the African continent into this equation, but at the moment it wouldn't make sense for it to have its own team because there are no players to support it.
Finally, I would move this tournament on the calendar. I would put it at the beginning of the year instead of the United Cup. It would be held in Australia, taking advantage of the fact that the best players go there for the Australian Open. It would also make sense because Rod Laver is Australian and the cup is named after him.
The United Cup may merge with the Hopman Cup at another time of the year.
No
Email this to RF 🤣
the event is dying after big3 vanishes
Shelton acting like he won Wimbledon 😢
Congratulations team world. The resurgence of the USA players should make the Laver Cup more competitive now and they played well but let's be honest this is nowhere near the best Europe team. If in theory every player was available Europe would have ranking 1,2,3,4,5,6 =21 combined. They actually had 6,9,16,25,44,142=242. A deficit of 221 ranking places. The best possible world team would be 8,11,12,13,14,19=77. They actually had 8,11,13,14,21=86. So their actual squad was only 9 ranking places worse than the best they could possibly have (essentially down to De Minaur not being there). Even if you swapped Monfils for Novak Europe would still have a team 80 ranking places worse than it could be. Having said all that Europe should still have done better. Monfils was a disastrous pick and the way he just quit on the first set of his match was unforgiveable in a team event. Hopefully Europe pick a few more top 15 players next time.
The only title they'll ever lift
This is their second straight title 🤡
@@mike_404Who cares? Without the best players competing, this victory is pretty much irrelevant. Nobody cares if you beat a team Europe C team. Shelton is a joke.
@@jacobschmidt2709 team Europe still had higher ranked players than team world this year 😂 without Djokovic alcaraz medvedev, European tennis is mid. Glad the other guys got exposed
@@jacobschmidt2709 “Shelton is a joke” heaven forbid someone have energy at an exhibition tournament. You hate it but when Djokovic roars like a lion you say “IDEMOOO NOLEEE💩”
No player could think Laver Cup is an exhibition event. Each player from the winning side is paid $250,000.00 plus a participation fee.
The runner up side players are paid $125,000.00 plus a participation fee. This can never and should never be call an "Exhibition" Yes players
must have fun too but must also think about winning the event.
This Laver Cup looks like an exhibition tournament made only as a business. All the celebration of players looks so unnatural and fake. Overacting. Maybe they are told to do that.
Of course it's business! The celebrations are real.
ЛИДЕР СБОРНОЙ ЕВРОПЫ НЕ ВЫИГРАЛ НИ ОДНОГО МАТЧА И ПОКАЗАЛ КАК ИГРАТЬ СЛЕТА.
20 ЛЕТ ТАК И НЕ НАУЧИЛСЯ РУБЛЕВ ИГРАТЬ
СЛЕТА👋👋👋👋
👎👎👎👎😊😎
Who cares? Without the best players competing, this victory is pretty much irrelevant. Nobody cares if you beat a team Europe C team. Shelton is a joke.
such a boring laver cup this one was hopefully next one is better.
The full matches were great. Team World played amazing. You're just butthurt because Team Europe lost again.
@@got2bjosh lol I coudn't care less which team won and lost but absence of kyrios, jack sock, tsisipas , meddy made this not so great. I hope we see players like rune and sinner in europe and team world is basically North American players and kyrios so there is not much to add there.
when randoms like shelton are asked to play you KNOW its in dire straits
@@tyler108 lol... He played his part. Won all the matches he played in...
@@tyler108 Shelton is the future of US men's tennis. Everyone knows it. Laver even said we'd see him win a Slam soon. His game is formidable. Making it to the 2nd week of two Slams (AO QF & USO SF) in your first full year on tour is no joke. Sleep on him if you want to, but haters are pressed because they know he's a real threat.
The childish behaviour of Eubanks and Tiafoe turned this into a glorified exhibition. Men's tennis is better off putting the effort into the Davis Cup. You cannot manufacture a rivalry that is simply not there.
"PromoSM" ❗
