  • "FAA…that was a little bit of a strange one" (03:40)
  • “He said he was cramping...two hours and nine minutes into the match...I don’t think the conditions were extreme.” (04:34)
• Context & Personal Experience: Roddick relates to FAA’s struggle with a vivid anecdote about playing sick at the 2011 US Open. He describes winning a match while severely dehydrated, culminating in full body cramps, to reinforce how unseen health issues can impact performance. He makes it clear—“FAA is not a guy to cramp or be unprepared at an hour and 20.” (07:28)

• Historic Context: Only six players have achieved 100+ wins at a single Grand Slam; Djokovic has now done it three times (Australia, Wimbledon, Roland Garros).

• Comparison With Legends: Federer, Serena, Rafa, Navratilova, Evert—how Novak’s records fit in with the all-time greats.

• Andy’s Take: The awkwardness of the shared space, and how little players sometimes know about each other’s results during a tournament (“...being in the tournament, you know less than being outside the tournament.” – 20:06)
• Playful banter: “We won/he lost” as a relationship barometer for players and their teams. (20:34–21:17)

Memorable Exchange

Coco Gauff: “...there's moments like that where you don't know whether to speak to the person or not...I just said, oh, it must have went well because they were eating candy and they were like, no, this is like, depression candy.” (19:53)

Andy: “The old depression candy.” (20:02)

[A]

The FIFA World Cup 26. No purchase necessary 13 in 50 US states and DC with a web enabled device. Ends March 1 with eight entry periods. [e-mail] SoccerRules Foreign. Welcome to Quick Served, brought to you by our friends at ServiceNow. I love grand Slam tennis. It's my favorite Aussie Open Day 2 in the books.

[B]

Let's go.

[A]

Headlines. Novak WINS. Not surprising. 100 wins.

[B]

Incredible.

[A]

In Australia alone. We need to spend more time on that just to give it context to show like we just take these things for granted now with the big three and we were spoiled. We're going to break that down a little bit more. Iga 3 and 6 played fine work to do. I think she had some question marks coming in, but she is the type of player we saw Wimbledon. She'll play her way into it the more look she gets demon over Mackie McDonald. Coco rolls rude one four and two. I think roll rolled pretty good. Andreva beating Vecic was a big win. It's not always easy. She played Saturday in Adelaide, had one day probably hit for like 30 minutes and then had to. This is like the one where okay now she has the confidence from Adelaide and she got into the tournament. Like that was a huge kind of weird. We saw, you know booblick did it last year, right? Like you gotta, you have to like keep building in the Slam. For her to win that first match I think is massive. Like tournament altering. Like I'm in it to win it type situation. Ana Samova 2 and 3 medi 1 in straight sets. Jess Pagula 2 and 1 or 1 and 2. One of those things. Diana Schneider beats Krishikova which means that I get the points in the draw show over time. Stay in the man while Rinka still fighting, man. Still, still fighting, still going. I think we have something from him a little bit later on in the show. Rublev Beats Arnoldi. I thought that was a tough first round draw. Um, Boko, same thing as Andreva getting back in, into the. Keeping techie Sean's bracket alive and probably slightly, just. Just slightly more important, showing that she's healthy. She didn't look great against Andreva the other day in the final in Adelaide, Lynette takes out Emma Navarro.

[B]

You called that one.

[A]

I did. It's just. She just had some matches. It's that simple thing where it's like someone goes in and someone's trying to find confidence versus kind of breaking the seal on the year, which Lynette had done. And she played Jovic tough last week, which I thought was good one that I got wrong. And I. There's nothing between them. I like them both. A lot is learned at beats. Jerome in five. Knew that one was going to be hard. Knew it was going to be tough.

[B]

It was a slug fest.

[A]

But Jerome, I mean, your Jerome, you tell him, hey, listen, you're going to go semi, semi before, you know, losing to a seed in five sets. It's really good start the year for him. Learning TN is just really good. He's just a really good player. You know, I did have a results bias in that one. FAA is that was a little bit of a strange one what happened there.

[B]

I mean, they cited cramping, right? It was only a couple hours in.

[A]

Yeah. Nagashima also lost in an upset. Vachero gets through against Martin Dam Jr. FAA. It's a strange one, man, like, because you look up and he's fit, he's professional. You know, you don't feel like he's the kind of guy that's not going to work. Played long into last year, right. Made that big. Had a lot of reps. US Open and beyond.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Made up. Went from 28 in the world to five in the world. Maybe you need more time. You have to balance rest versus kicking it up and being ready to play five sets. But also, we just don't ever know what someone's going through. And I have no inside information on faa. What I do know is that he said he was cramping at the end of the second set or beginning of the third set when he stopped with cramps. They were two hours and nine minutes into the match. I don't know if the. I don't think the conditions were extreme. I don't think they were crazy. Which means that he started feeling cramps at hour 20. Yeah, something like that. Which is, you know, not. Not the time when you would see someone cramp Unless there was something else going on. Um, the example I was giving you guys off. Off air, just to kind of draw a personal line to it is I remember one year at the US Open, I finished. It was 2011. I won my third round against Julian Bento on a Sunday on, like, the CBS match. I think it was a CBS match at that point. Got sick that night, like, came down with something where, without too much information, it was. It was. It was. It was coming from everywhere. And I spent the next. It rained for three days, and I don't think I would have been able to play with one day's rest. Like, I was cooked. Fever. It was nothing left in. I was depleted. My body. I couldn't keep anything in. Rained three days in a row. So this match that I had next against David Ferrer, which some will remember, where we. We moved and played on the small court because there was a leak in the court, whatever. And I remember in that match, in the fourth set, we probably were a couple hours in, and I was shortening everything, serving and volleying on everything. Not because, like, great tactics. I'm like, no, I just. No, I can't stay out here. So end up winning that match. But imagine being up four, three, a break, and knowing that you only have 15 minutes left to play. Like, my hand was starting to, like, do the claw, like, where it was cramping like this. And so I'm like, all right, like, you're up two sets. You're gonna, like, you're in line to win. And you. You also are the only person on earth, maybe with your team that knows if I don't actually close this out right here, I'm gonna be on the ground with cramps in 30 minutes.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It wasn't because I wasn't fit or not prepared. It was, you know, something beyond that. So I still remember Ferreir walking past me in the locker room. I'm in full body cramps at that point. Like, laying on the ground in the locker room, like, moaning, screaming, and he just, like, gently had to, like, walk over me. Oh, how annoying is that?

[B]

Just. He's just like, are you serious?

[A]

Yeah. And then the next day, because the schedule got pushed back, I had to play the next day against Rock Rafa. 3 out of 5. How. How do you think that went?

[B]

Yeah, just cooked.

[A]

It was one zero and two, I think.

[B]

I mean, I just think it. It puts in context, right? We. Again, we don't know what happened, but anything can happen, right? That doesn't. Everyone's human. And at the End of the day, like, it's. Everyone gets sick naturally. And it could be timing, but we don't know that that's what happened.

[A]

Well, I don't know that's what happened. Here's what I know. FAA is not a guy to cramp or be unprepared at an hour and 20.

[B]

Yeah. Right.

[A]

And then fight it through however long. That seems really weird to me. I don't know what the reasoning is, but it. That screen, like, I circle that with an exclamation point. Like, that seems like a weird. Like a really weird outlier.

[B]

Yeah. The Australian Open has a. Has like their heat rating, and I think it was out of five. It was like a 1.9. So it was mild. Yeah, it was super mild in comparison to what they've experienced before. I think it was in the mid-80s.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like temperature wise.

[A]

Yeah. So that's strange. But that's, you know, the biggest upset so far. Don't take anything away from Borges. Like, we were sitting here before and I didn't have the balls to. To pick it. I think I had some buyers remorse because I picked against FAA at the US Open last year and he went to the semis. But Borges, that's a rough draw. And he had already played a couple of matches this year. All right. So I think I probably know what the stat of the day is. Mike, I think you're really good at your job. Can you tell me what the stat of the day is?

[B]

I think obviously the stat of the day will be 100 wins by one Novak Djokovic, which got us in the newsletter and research department wondering, you know, because we aren't big tennis guys. And only six players have achieved this in one time in history. And it's been done nine times.

[A]

Sorry.

[B]

In one slim. So six players have achieved 100 or more wins in a single slam.

[A]

And this is me guessing.

[B]

And it's been done nine times. Can you guess those six players?

[A]

Yes, six players for sure. I can get. I don't know if I. For sure.

[B]

3.

[A]

I have no problem off the. It's obviously. Fed's done it at Wimbledon, Nadal's done it at Roland Garros. Navratilova has done it. She might have doubled up somewhere or tripled up. Chrissy's done it for sure. And then you're looking at like, has. Has Novak done it somewhere else? Did he do it at whip? No, because he won 10 times.

[B]

You want me to give you this list? It's. It's absurd.

[A]

Well, what I Want is like, here's. Here's. Here's how impressive this stat is. Like, I'm betting.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't. So, like, Pete didn't play 20 years, right? Pete was on the, you know, 89, 90, and then out in 02. So it didn't have this, like, volume situation that. Rafa, Roger, Chrissy Martell. I bet Pete won Wimbledon seven times and might not have been close to this number at Wimbledon. Am I wrong?

[B]

He's not on the list.

[A]

Jimmy Connors is on the list.

[B]

He is not on the list.

[A]

Jimmy Connors is not the list.

[B]

He missed it by two.

[A]

He won the US Open five times on three different surfaces.

[B]

Missed it by two. 98 wins at the US Open.

[A]

Is it. Is it, like. Are we looking at, like, a Billie Jean King, or are we looking at, like, a lot? This is absurd.

[B]

Not on the list. Novak's on it three times.

[A]

He's on it three times.

[B]

Three times. He's three.

[A]

He's made runs at the US Open even though he hasn't won it.

[B]

100 in Australia. 102 at Wimbledon. 102 at 101. Sorry. At Roland Garros. And he's currently sitting at 95 at the US Open.

[A]

So who are we missing?

[B]

You have Federer twice, 102 at Australian Open, 105 at Wimbledon. Yeah. You have Serena, 108 at the US Open. Rafa, 112, Martina 120. And Chrissy is on there at 101 at the US Open.

[A]

Bonkers.

[B]

Like, so no back. If he know that if he wins five matches at the US Open, I mean, obviously that'll be impressive this year, but. Yeah, he will.

[A]

He wins five, he'll have 100 at every Grand Slam.

[B]

He'll have over 400 wins. It just Slams.

[A]

So to put this in perspective, like, hopefully, like, how many did Pete have at Wimbledon?

[B]

Let me look that up.

[A]

It had to be. I don't think he got to, like, 80. I don't know if he got to 70.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

He won seven times and didn't, like. I don't think it's, like, it's. You have to have so much volume and so much quality. Crazy, something other thing, like, just for context, to show you how ridiculous is, like, Kim Kleister's one Australia. She had, I think, 43 match wins in Australia.

[B]

That's what we see. Yeah.

[A]

I won the US Open and made another final there. And I think I had 43 wins in the US Open. Like, Maria won in Australia. And I think she had 50 something wins down there?

[B]

57.

[A]

That's absurd. Like, she doubling up, doubling people up and then adding 15. I mean, it's absurd.

[B]

Yeah, Hugh at 47 at US Open.

[A]

Yeah, but, like, also think about this. Like, there are really, really, really good players. Really good players. Like, I'm trying to think of names that people know. Okay, so we're podcasters. So I looked this up. Like, Steve Johnson, who's a great player, was 20 in the world. Right. 197 matches total, anywhere, all tournaments. His. His pod host, Jack Sock, went 181 all in. Not at one tournament, all in. And he was top 10 player. Kyrgios was almost a top 10 player. And he won like 205. Made the finals of a Grand Slam.

[B]

It's wild.

[A]

Novak's literally almost halved their total match wins in a single event. And he'll do it three times. Yeah, like, I won 600 and something matches, which is an absurd amount of matches in a shorter, ish career. Novak's gonna get 400 only in slams. It's a joke. Maybe more than that.

[B]

He already. He already has 400 slams. If you combine them all.

[A]

Yeah, but I'm saying 100 and each. It's absurd. I mean, I don't know how you. I don't know how you make this real enough. Like, how absurd this is.

[B]

Doing it on different surfaces, doing it over a span of time. Doing it. It's just. It's ridiculous.

[A]

Well, also should, like, you can't do this without making the semis almost every time. Like, you have to add five almost every time you play and then have the longevity anyways. Props.

[B]

That's.

[A]

It's. It's an absurd stat. Like, I hope people kind of fully are able to digest. Hopefully we gave it the proper context. It's even, like, next to really, really good players. It makes us all look really stupid and less than, frankly.

[B]

Frankly. All right.

[A]

Perfect delivery of the day. Mike, explain what the hell this is. This is. You. Like, are you literally. I see. Perfect delivery.

[B]

Perfect delivery.

[A]

You're literally angling just for more sponsors.

[B]

I mean, we're just giving them opportunities to create space.

[A]

And I knew exactly what this was. Perfect delivery, underlined four times.

[B]

Call me, call me, whoever wants.

[A]

Can you tell me what this scam is?

[B]

It's not a scam.

[A]

Okay, go.

[B]

I think it's great. I think we.

[A]

So we.

[B]

Tennis is really unique. Right. Because you do get to hear from the athletes right after they play, good or bad. Yeah. And I do think it Gives an opportunity for great interactions with these athletes and for them to show a little bit of their personality.

[A]

Great.

[B]

You know and so the least we.

[A]

Could do is just give them more altruistically give that grot a great.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Perfect.

[B]

So, so one Stan Warinka won his opening match which we talked about. It's incredible. And he had a really nice moment with the, with the presenter at the end of the match. Getting a chance to speak directly to the fans. You first played the main draw here in 2006. You won the tournament 2014.

[A]

It's 2026 and you're still winning here in Melbourne.

[B]

How do you do it? Because of you guys. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Been. It's been a long journey.

[C]

It's been amazing.

[B]

So much, so many memories here. It's been incredible. The only reason I come back is because the love you give me. It was amazing today. So thank you so much. I just think that's so cool. And, and what you can't see on, on listen to us on the radio is that he's getting emotional. You know he's getting teary eyed. You can hear it voice. He's breaking. Yeah.

[A]

If that's not full of appreciation like who knows what is. Right. And I don't know that Stan's ever been the guy to like cry at a Hallmark commercial. You know. I think he's, you know, obviously it's big but like I think it's going to be a really fun year. Right. I think he's full of gratitude. You believe everything he's saying. The crowd obviously reacts. This is great. I like having the ability. I didn't do it this way. I just like said see you. Bye. Thanks. That was fun. I do like the chance to celebrate our champions over an extended period of time throughout the year.

[B]

Yeah. Is when you look at something like that. Right. Like could that be emotionally depleting now he's going to go play another match. Right.

[A]

Like is is I, I could even make the argument that it's like an emotional boost also. Like I could argue either side of that. I don't think so. For someone who's, you know, it's not as if Stan has been front and center top of mind over the last three or four years. Right. He's you know, back and forth between challengers. So I think the mental tank is. Is. Is probably pretty full. I wouldn't think so. I think the, the net net of support versus toll I think is. Is largely in the positive.

[B]

Speaking of of good crowds Because I imagine Stan's going to have a pretty good crowd. It is the next match if he's given this much appreciation. Did you at all see any highlights of Parks in Yala? And that they had it on a smaller court and the place was, like, packed. Standing room only.

[A]

I mean, these markets that. I mean, we saw last year with Fonseca in Miami, and it's Australia especially. I think it's kind of what Coco was getting at when I said, forget about it. But people come out for their stars. And you look at the views on her press conferences versus the top stars in the world. She has a massive, massive following in the Philippines. It's. It's. It's crazy impressive, and it's something that tournaments are gonna have to, like, pay attention to. Didn't work out. Parks won. Great, great win for her. But this is the type of story you cheer for because it's great for tennis.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. The. The fact that the first lady of the Philippines was there. I mean, it's like. It's. It's a. It's a crazy crowd.

[A]

All right, Was that the perfect delivery or that was.

[B]

That was a perfect delivery.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

That was a perfect delivery.

[A]

Are there any more deliveries or are we just.

[B]

No. You know who actually had a really good sound bite, which I wanted to get. I wanted to get your take on, was. Was Coco.

[A]

Oh, so you're saying that Stan is perfect and she was imperfect.

[B]

No, it's just a label. We could have multiple perfect deliveries.

[A]

That's why I just asked. You were just a hard. No, I mean, just think it through. Just give everyone a chance.

[B]

Perfect delivery brought to us by whoever you are.

[A]

Brought to us by nobody. Nobody.

[B]

But yeah. So Coco, in a press conference, was asked, you know, kind of what it was like going back into the locker room. Right. It's unique that tennis players share locker rooms with their opponents, with friends, with people they might face off against later in a tournament. And she had this to say.

[C]

Yeah, it is awkward. I had an awkward one after a match. I won't say who, but I thought a person won and they didn't. And, yeah, I was like, oh. And then they were like, no. And I was like, oh. But they took it well. So, yeah, there's moments like that where you don't know whether to speak to the person or not if you haven't seen the score on how their match goes. So I'm usually pretty good at, like, doing that, but today was a mess up. But luckily, the girl was. I know her. She's super sweet. So, yeah, that happens. And as far as, like, opponents, I mean, yeah, there's always some sometimes awkward. Like, you say hello and stuff, but I'm. But the people I know really well, it's not really that awkward. We'll talk and be like, hey, like, see you out there, and that's fine. And. But always people you don't know. You don't know whether to say hi to them or not. I'm someone who usually always says hi, but the responses vary. And I understand get in the moment. But, yeah, I think the worst about sharing a locker room is just seeing someone and knowing they play today but not knowing how the score went. You don't know, like, what mood they're in, and I always find that hard to navigate. I just said, oh, it must have went well because they were eating candy and they were like, no, this is like, depression candy.

[B]

Oh, man.

[A]

The old depression candy.

[B]

Yeah. Like, the. Like, what do you.

[A]

You're like, you don't know? Cause it's. It's weird. Like, you know less being in the tournament than you do being outside of the tournament.

[B]

Yeah, right.

[A]

Like. Cause you're not watching all the tv, you probably want to break when you get away from the courts. And that's so true. Like, oh, how'd you go? And they're like, oh, no. My favorite thing, though, is when you see someone who's, like, on one of the teams or if someone was dating someone or their mother was there or something. How'd you do? And they always go, we won.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm like, oh, that's great. But then, how'd you do? He lost. The old we won. He lost is always the tough one.

[B]

I don't know why. While I was listening to that, and not to make light of it, but, like, I. All I imagine, you know, like, in the Bachelor when, like, somebody gets eliminated and the crew just comes in and takes the roller bag and wheels out.

[A]

Everybody's like, oh, you take their mic.

[B]

I'm like, yeah. Like, I don't know why. I just imagined, like, it was always like that.

[A]

It was always a bit of a tell. I remember, like, someone I was on tour with, who I'm close with, was, like, dating someone. And like, the. We won. The we won. He lost was like a real, real barometer. You start taking the under on months dating.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

At that point.

[B]

Oh, that's interesting.

[A]

We won. He lost. Start the clock. Let's start the clock. Listen, I can't wait to start the clock on day three. Maddie Keys, defending Champion. That's a. That's like a nervy thing, right? That's a. It's a tough one. Hopefully she gets off to a good start. Ben Sheldon is. Doesn't have the easiest draw. Uber is. Is tough. He's not going to give you rhythm. He comes in lefty on lefty. That is one to watch for that. Those. That's one of those ones where if you want to make a quarterfinal run, you kind of have to find a way through it. Center coming out, Osaka Musetti Rbakina. JW took her to win the tournament. I don't hate it. I didn't do it. Benich has been about as hot as any player on the planet at United Cup. She played great. Fritz starting up Fonseca. Maybe we'll get a read on the back injury that he's been carrying in and can he get it to that third round matchup with Yannick Sinner? Do you have any other branded things you just want to wheel out there right now before we close the show.

[B]

Or if you filled out a bracket, Go ahead and go. Hey, Andy, right now you're doing good. You had a nice run. Men's, men's you're leading our group with 290 points. John's at 240. Women's one, Blair Henley is 10 point favorite right now. She's at 300 points. You and John at 290.

[A]

Okay, we're good.

[B]

Kim rounding out the back. And then check out the leaderboard we have. Wiki01 is crushing it in the men's bracket with 390, but only leading by slim margin of 10 points. So maybe our. Maybe our little scoring system is going to produce some popcorn.

[A]

I was pretty happy with mine, I gotta be honest. We'll see. We'll see who had FAA going deep. Those first round numbers can be deceiving. Thank you for watching. Quick served presented by our friends at ServiceNow. This is the end of the show unless Mike has any more. Okay, this is the end of the show. Thanks for watching. Quick served.
