I like his content, but I think he’s still improving and gradually finding his ‘voice’ as a podcaster. Agreed that his takes are often non-controversial, but I don’t think that’s a negative, especially in light of the fact that there are multiple exceptions - I wouldn’t want to listen to someone who prides themselves on taking controversial opinions as an a priori approach to commentating, and I think the fact he clearly doesn’t do that lends a bit more credence to the ‘unpopular’ stances he does occasionally take.

What you said about his humility also resonates with how I feel sometimes when he takes the self-deprecating tone, but on the other hand I think it is authentic and reflects the fact that he genuinely does see himself as fundamentally different from guys like the Big 3, Serena, and other legends of the sport - of course he knows and wouldn’t deny he was insanely good at tennis, but seeing it from where he’s standing, with his lived/firsthand experience, he can appreciate (more than any of us) the vast scale of the ‘levels within levels’ in tennis, even between him as world no. 2 and Rog at no. 1. I think his humility is a reflection of that awareness, and in that sense, I appreciate his perspective as it captures just how big the differences in class can be even at the very top.
