A shocking revelation has emerged from the world of tennis, with former professional player Sam Querrey dropping a bombshell about his dislike for a fellow competitor. In a recent episode of the Nothing Major Show, Querrey, alongside his co-hosts Jack Sock, Steve Johnson, and John Isner, engaged in a thought-provoking discussion about the unlikable players in their sport.
Querrey, a former top-ranked player who retired in 2022, revealed that there was one player he absolutely despised. However, the 38-year-old chose to keep the identity of this player under wraps, stating, "There's one guy I like absolutely hate. But I can't just say it right now, the guy's still playing... He doesn't necessarily know I hate him, but he's a tool."
But here's where it gets controversial... Querrey went on to describe a heated practice session with this mysterious player, where things escalated to the point of a six-minute yelling match. He even admitted to staying on the court, which is unusual for him.
"Practice totally stopped for us to yell at each other for like six minutes. I stayed. I never stay," Querrey shared.
His co-hosts were eager to uncover the identity of this player, but Querrey remained tight-lipped. Instead, he offered another intriguing revelation.
Sock, sensing the tension, suggested that this player must have done something extraordinary to provoke such a reaction from Querrey, to which he replied, "It takes a lot for Sam to get really, really perturbed."
While Querrey kept the player's identity secret, his co-hosts were more forthcoming. Johnson named Ivo Karlovic, a former Croatian tennis star, and Lukas Rosol, who caused an upset by defeating Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon in 2012, as players he didn't particularly care for.
And this is the part most people miss... Johnson also shared a hilarious anecdote about playing doubles with Sock, saying, "If you somehow pissed Jack off on the doubles court, you were done. He was just going to take over the court."
Sock agreed, adding, "It wasn't the worst thing. I just used it as motivation. I'm not a big fan of Karlovic... or like Rosol back in the day. He was brutal."
So, who is this mysterious player that Querrey hates? And why did their practice session turn into a heated argument? These questions remain unanswered, leaving us with a tantalizing tennis mystery.
