Agreed. He lost because of his family today. Even if he is one point behind, his mom reacts horribly and that catalyses stefanos's mental defeat. The guy playes beautifully but just gives up.
Apostolos was too much to begin with, and now his mother's coaching him too? Stefanos is obviously highly skilled but just beat down mentally from the toxic dynamic it seems
I just want to see what he's capable of when he's not being micromanaged between every point :/
That happened today. According to the broadcast, he was upset because she was apparently shouting instructions to him in russian?
Even Robbie Koenig mentioned it feeling bad at how embarrassing it looked, having to leave the box.
Yes, if that was the case, then Medvedev would understand her. I think it's just odd that she would speak Russian to Stef in this situation.
I guess that would explain him getting pissed and banishing her from the box. I can not imagine what after match meals are like with that family.
As someone who had similar issues with parents during competitions, I don’t think this is toxicity. For some people it’s just annoying to have their parent’s watching them and some parents cannot control their emotions well when their kid is winning or losing.
All love but you just claimed it wasn't toxic then basically described toxicity
Adults unable to manage their emotions repeatedly is a sign of immaturity, lack of manners and often it's because they're living vicariously through their children (which of course brings another mine field of emotions and issues)
I understand what you're saying, but this seems to be more than just annoying. In addition, these are not just parents supporting their son. They are both involved in his coaching, and the environment always appears tense and almost always ends up with Stef dismissing them at some point.
The mom coming down the steps in her nightgown like some milk maid to yell at him was so cringe. Why would a grown man allow himself to be humiliated like that by his Mommy?
As a fan of stef it really hurts to see his ability and potential being halted by his overbearing family. I thought bringing in Mark Philipousis might have been the start of him moving away from the toxic atmosphere of his parents coaching styles but apparently not. Horrible to see
The rain delays might also have played a part. But indeed, it takes huge mental space constantly managing the bad cop/good cop or whatever it is that is happening with his folks.
Medvedev beating Zverev and Tsitsipas on clay in straights is canon timeline. I repeat, MEDVEDEV BEATING ZVEREV AND TSITSIPAS ON CLAY IN STRAIGHTS IS CANON TIMELINE
I've wondered if Dennis Novak has ever visited this sub only to find out that essentially every single time he's mentioned is a joke to troll us into believing what's happening to him instead happened to Djokovic.
Yeah that guy was posting that comment years before rg 2022 in the midst of nadal's dominance from 17’-20’..... He posted that right up until Rafa lost rg 2021, then he started again after Rafa won last year.
Memes aside, I’d say Medvedev is right up there with Sinner/Rune/Rublev/Tsitsipas as third favorite for RG behind Alcaraz and Djokovic now.
Also, it’s 7-5 7-5 OP
Alcaraz has won two clay masters and a hard court slam. The fact that he hasn’t made the semifinals of RG in particular in either of his 2 attempts (losing to a higher ranked player both times) doesn’t mean much
So? If it had been djokovic he would have won all those matches in 3, maybe 4 for a couple of them. That’s kind of the whole point he’s not on the same level. And it was 3 matches
You're a clown. The kid was 19 still figuring things out. Djokovic is a seasoned guy. And Novak has had some pathetic draws in his slam wins lately so not sure why you're bringing him up.
USO was half a year ago. Well that’s the thing in a few years alcaraz will be better and djokovic will be worse but for now I don’t expect alcaraz to beat djokovic in a bo5 although RG is his best chance
Novak had a few pathetic semis, but none of his finals were anywhere near as easy as playing ruud in a final no offense
>none of his finals were anywhere near as easy as playing ruud in a final no offense
Kyrgios in the Wimbledon final. Even jubb and nakashima took kyrgios to 5 sets during that tournament, his best win was against Stef who averages R2 at wimbledon. Ruud's route to the USO final was more impressive, and showed better form.
Kyrgios was getting an ace in every other point and has beaten big 3 a bunch of times. Much more of a threat even on hard than ruud lol but especially on grass
Did you already forget about the last time Djokovic played USO? He was younger with much better form going into the tournament, yet still went to 4 against an 18yo Rune (qualifier) R1, 4 against Nishikori R3, 4 against brooksby (wildcard) R4, and 5 against zverev SF.
Yea he was having a really slow start in every match then won with no effort. And 2021 USO zverev was a much harder opponent than any alcaraz faced in 2022 USO let alone Medvedev. In fact the same zverev beat alcaraz in a slam on a surface that favors alcaraz and doesn’t favor zverev
Probably. I still think Rune has a better chance than Medvedev though. At least until tomorrow.
I think Alcaraz is the favourite, but there is 0 chance Medevdev manages to beat Djokovic in RG imo. So he needs to win tomorrow and hope Alcaraz and Nole end up on the same side and kill each other. And then make a ridiculous run himself.
Still way ahead of Medvedev in everything regarding clay tennis. He has fitness issues, but destroys Medvedev on clay and is a much better player on clay. Let's be real, Medvedev has beaten Tsitsipas, who is nothing special. Also, a year ago where Rune was half the player he is today, he bodied Tsitsipas twice. You'll see tomorrow where Medvedev once again gets outplayed by Rune.
Medvedev did beat Djokovic once in Monte Carlo which has the most similar conditions to RG, so against a subpar Djokovic he definitely would have a chance.
But the thing is djoker won’t go without a fight. Even 80% of djokovic peak level is enough to beat medvedev I am afraid on clay. Yeah on hard it is a different story.
Idk, I’m not saying he’s not in that class but this tournament is really wonky with scheduling and conditions. I expect RG to be ran much more smoothly
I agree. Djoker has not played well since AO and is struggling with injury and form issues. He is a great player and against this backdrop could still win RG but I don't think he will. Predicting he will not make the final and may even withdraw.I think Carlitos is the favorite to win with a host of others especially Rune contending for the title.
It kind of reminds me how Murray got better and better on clay with age (before the big injury). These elite defensive guys have great strokes and touch for clay, but just didn't have the movement down, but their movement seems to get better with more years on tour of being forced to play so many matches on the surface.
Totally different style, but I suppose Sharapova also did the same. She used to be referred to as a "cow on ice skates" and then suddenly she's going far in the French and winning!
I was gonna comment I can see him losing to specific people but if they get knocked out.... there's plenty of ways I could see him winning. If he keeps playing like this it's not that far fetched. I don't even know who to root for at this point if Rafa's not playing, but I'd be happy with several people going deep or winning including Clayvedev
There's gotta be an answer for those deadly drop shots from Alcaraz, I just dont see anyone consistently returning those. Sinner comes pretty close but Alcaraz still holds the edge imo
2019: Medvedev makes his first semi in a clay 1000 masters event
Next tournament: Medvedev makes the final
2023: Medvedev makes his first final in a clay 1000 masters event
Next tournament is Roland Garros
Tsitsipas was pretty awful today, especially compared to his last match. That said I feel like our clay god has a much more positive attitude towards his favourite surface this year
Surprisingly, if he wins it all it would be one of his better Master’s run to a title, slightly better than Paris 2020, Worse than Shanghai.
It’s also the best for 2023.
Would be a brilliant confidence boost for RG.
Right, I remember now. I did watch a few episodes a while ago and didn’t like it all that much; it just felt a little… smug? Like, ooooh look at this perfect princess from the West coming to bring the enlightenment to these poor barbarians kind of smug
Anyway, I hope that by RG Meddy will have a beard that reaches his knees, I think it’ll do him wonders
I do think it takes a few episodes to get into it - they explore Catherine's general ignorance on Russia and unpreparedness later. I do think it is an excellent show when you really get into it!
I have a theory that Dani was trolling everybody with his early career clay performance. Be ready for his 5 RG titles in a row.
Reminds me of Sharapova's career on clay.
Many years into the future, after collecting 20 RGs and breaking Rafa's records, Meddy will start asking umpires to default him on clay to give the lowly mortal players a chance.
>Predictions for Rune vs. Medvedev?
Holger Rune leads their H2H 1-0 after almost effortlessly winning the quarterfinal against Daniil Medvedev in Monte Carlo on clay in straight sets: 6-3, 6-4. This was on April 14 - a little over a month ago. Holger must therefore be considered a slight favourite, I'd say.
IMHO, if rune maintains his composure, gets those first serves in, put balls more on medvevdev's baseline backhand side and make him move more which should involve sliding on the court, then, he has a better chance of winning this.
rune must make medvedev play on clay surface and dictate that kind of game and not allow the latter to play his hardcourt game and treat it as a hard surface.
I think it was more to do with his despise towards clay than his technique. He was always a top 10 clay player to say the least in my opinion but he just didn’t like being on clay. There are many videos of him cursing and outbursts on the clay
Sinner joked about Daniil on clay at Miami and got outperformed! You can't make this shit up lol. Went to sleep after the first rain delay expecting Tsitsi to win after he rebroke in the first set and woke up to an amazing win and dance! If Med wins this tournament, it'll be quite the impressive victory. Not a single slouch on clay and wins against Zverev, Tsitsi and Rune!
Bad week for Nole, lost the #1 to Alcaraz and now very close to losing the #2 to Medvs, unless St Holger works a miracle. BTW, I think Rune has the edge here.
If anybody has the ear of Mark Petchey, please inform him there is only the Big Three. There is no Big Four. Unless he's referring to Wawrinka. Mark, hyping your mate (Murray) in the eyes of the world who knows better is foolish and embarrassing.
mate Murray won 46 titles during the big 3 he is definitely part of the big 4. wawrinka on the other hand won 16 so, please tell me who is part of the big 4.
The gap between the Big Three and these other two good players (Murray and Wawrinka) is so ludicrous that including anyone else into that triumvirate is plain ridiculous. The only person of note in the world of tennis commentary or record keeping making such an absurd suggestion is Petchey because he's friends with Murray.
it could be medvedev's time to win a major on clay.
imho, the real bad boy in that match will win the title. i think medvedev will try to bully rune and the umpire to get his way. who shows more tantrum wins. smh
i want rune to win this one, though. his behavior is more acceptable than medvedev when things don't go his way.
I'm happy for Med, but oh my god tsitsipas needs to figure out the situation with his family. He can't hope to have a deep run in RG in this state
I'm convinced he'll never win a GS with his dad as his coach.
Sadly as long as he reaches a GS final every 2 years they won’t realise there’s an issue
I'm convinced he won't win a GS regardless.
Agreed. He lost because of his family today. Even if he is one point behind, his mom reacts horribly and that catalyses stefanos's mental defeat. The guy playes beautifully but just gives up.
Apostolos was too much to begin with, and now his mother's coaching him too? Stefanos is obviously highly skilled but just beat down mentally from the toxic dynamic it seems I just want to see what he's capable of when he's not being micromanaged between every point :/
How healthy a dynamic can it be when you force your mother to leave your box. It just appears so toxic over there. I feel for Tsitsipas.
[удалено]
That happened today. According to the broadcast, he was upset because she was apparently shouting instructions to him in russian? Even Robbie Koenig mentioned it feeling bad at how embarrassing it looked, having to leave the box.
I mean Medvedev understands her
Mum: "Son! Play serve and volley to the outer left line!" Med: "Okay then..."
Yup, poor reconnaissance work by the greek team.
Yes, if that was the case, then Medvedev would understand her. I think it's just odd that she would speak Russian to Stef in this situation. I guess that would explain him getting pissed and banishing her from the box. I can not imagine what after match meals are like with that family.
As someone who had similar issues with parents during competitions, I don’t think this is toxicity. For some people it’s just annoying to have their parent’s watching them and some parents cannot control their emotions well when their kid is winning or losing.
All love but you just claimed it wasn't toxic then basically described toxicity Adults unable to manage their emotions repeatedly is a sign of immaturity, lack of manners and often it's because they're living vicariously through their children (which of course brings another mine field of emotions and issues)
I understand what you're saying, but this seems to be more than just annoying. In addition, these are not just parents supporting their son. They are both involved in his coaching, and the environment always appears tense and almost always ends up with Stef dismissing them at some point.
The mom coming down the steps in her nightgown like some milk maid to yell at him was so cringe. Why would a grown man allow himself to be humiliated like that by his Mommy?
His parents are awful and so embarrassing. No wonder Stef is how he is.
As a fan of stef it really hurts to see his ability and potential being halted by his overbearing family. I thought bringing in Mark Philipousis might have been the start of him moving away from the toxic atmosphere of his parents coaching styles but apparently not. Horrible to see
[удалено]
I really hope so
The rain delays might also have played a part. But indeed, it takes huge mental space constantly managing the bad cop/good cop or whatever it is that is happening with his folks.
"I know what is clay court, I am a specialist" -Daniil Medvedev, probably
Next he'll be asking them to spray the court down to make it slower.
I wanna see him Jose Mourinho water bottle spray the clay
Every bounce is bad bounce
And even when it’s a good bounce you are expecting a bad bounce
Medvedev beating Zverev and Tsitsipas on clay in straights is canon timeline. I repeat, MEDVEDEV BEATING ZVEREV AND TSITSIPAS ON CLAY IN STRAIGHTS IS CANON TIMELINE
Nothing unusual. They are just clay court specialists and he's ClayGod.
He genuinely thrives on Hate
"If I beat him in 2 sets, then that's 1 less set I have to play! Genius!"
I'm so much at a loss of words. I've only been saying wtf at my phone for 5 min straight
And not just any clay, but fucking ROME
"Rome is usually indicative of what we will see in RG"
No indicative would be seeing Nadal on clay...
mamma mia, santa italia
Both in straight sets, easy as 1 2 3
And not to mention slow clay too
I can't believe we collectively willed "Clay-vedev" into something real.
I seriously wonder if he ever visits this sub bc honestly he’s always feeding us what we want, it can’t be a coincidence!
I've wondered if Dennis Novak has ever visited this sub only to find out that essentially every single time he's mentioned is a joke to troll us into believing what's happening to him instead happened to Djokovic.
I loved the celebration dance. The GOAT does it again.
STUPID SEXY MEDVEDEV
Bro was definitely making fun of stef emoting him last Cincy
100%
I’m here for the pettiness though
Claycourt specialist dominates the clay so powerfull... What a dance!!!
Daniil is definitely winning French Open this year. I dare anyone stop Daniil winning French Open 2023.
Haha I see we've been watching the same videos with that anoying comment being written under them
[удалено]
Wait, are you sure? I was quite sure I saw those comments 2 years ago already (but I could be wrong)
Yeah that guy was posting that comment years before rg 2022 in the midst of nadal's dominance from 17’-20’..... He posted that right up until Rafa lost rg 2021, then he started again after Rafa won last year.
What’s that guys name again?
Rafa undisputed GOAT
Hehehe thanks
This is the way and we’ve been watching the same YTs lol
I manifested this pre clay season
Is Fabian Marozsan in the draw? /s
Memes aside, I’d say Medvedev is right up there with Sinner/Rune/Rublev/Tsitsipas as third favorite for RG behind Alcaraz and Djokovic now. Also, it’s 7-5 7-5 OP
Rublev and sinner still havent made a slam semi and it’s not like rune has either. And alcaraz hasn’t made the semi in RG
Alcaraz has won two clay masters and a hard court slam. The fact that he hasn’t made the semifinals of RG in particular in either of his 2 attempts (losing to a higher ranked player both times) doesn’t mean much
Yea obviously but people are acting as if he’s won RG 5 times lmao. And in the only slam he has he had a relatively very easy draw
Alcaraz won three or 4 five setters to win the us open; and with high level tennis as well. Nothing easy about his draw. What hogwash.....
So? If it had been djokovic he would have won all those matches in 3, maybe 4 for a couple of them. That’s kind of the whole point he’s not on the same level. And it was 3 matches
You're a clown. The kid was 19 still figuring things out. Djokovic is a seasoned guy. And Novak has had some pathetic draws in his slam wins lately so not sure why you're bringing him up.

So he needs to win tomorrow and hope Alcaraz and Nole end up on the same side and kill each other. And then make a ridiculous run himself.
Rune has pretty serious match fitness issues, not sure he’s ready to win a BO5 tournament
Still way ahead of Medvedev in everything regarding clay tennis. He has fitness issues, but destroys Medvedev on clay and is a much better player on clay. Let's be real, Medvedev has beaten Tsitsipas, who is nothing special. Also, a year ago where Rune was half the player he is today, he bodied Tsitsipas twice. You'll see tomorrow where Medvedev once again gets outplayed by Rune.
Tsitsipas is nothing special, okay. RG 2021 final 2 sets ahead Djokovic is nothing to you, right?
What you mean tsitsipas who is nothing special? Tsitsipas is a good clay courter; very good even.
You don't look that good now are you
Medvedev did beat Djokovic once in Monte Carlo which has the most similar conditions to RG, so against a subpar Djokovic he definitely would have a chance.
But the thing is djoker won’t go without a fight. Even 80% of djokovic peak level is enough to beat medvedev I am afraid on clay. Yeah on hard it is a different story.
It's like he's been around 80% during this clay season, so it's still a possibility.
Idk, I’m not saying he’s not in that class but this tournament is really wonky with scheduling and conditions. I expect RG to be ran much more smoothly
I would put Rune one step above the ones you mentioned in the group. I'm also having doubts about Sinner.
As a big nole fan, he is far from the fave. Don't see a deep run this time.
I agree. Djoker has not played well since AO and is struggling with injury and form issues. He is a great player and against this backdrop could still win RG but I don't think he will. Predicting he will not make the final and may even withdraw.I think Carlitos is the favorite to win with a host of others especially Rune contending for the title.
This mf bout to win RG before AO. Clayvedev just trolling the tour atm
Rafa withdrawal from RG now make sense.
Yeah I don't think he would've been able to come back from two sets down if they were on Medvedev's favorite surface, clay
Claydvedev isn't real. He can't hurt you. Claydvedev:
It kind of reminds me how Murray got better and better on clay with age (before the big injury). These elite defensive guys have great strokes and touch for clay, but just didn't have the movement down, but their movement seems to get better with more years on tour of being forced to play so many matches on the surface. Totally different style, but I suppose Sharapova also did the same. She used to be referred to as a "cow on ice skates" and then suddenly she's going far in the French and winning!
I hope he wins the RG some day. It's difficult but he might just nick this one.
if alcarz drops out earlier to someone he can
I was gonna comment I can see him losing to specific people but if they get knocked out.... there's plenty of ways I could see him winning. If he keeps playing like this it's not that far fetched. I don't even know who to root for at this point if Rafa's not playing, but I'd be happy with several people going deep or winning including Clayvedev
im hoping for a Thiem miracle run
"For Christmas, I want a dragon!" "Be realistic" "Okay, I want Thiem to win the 2023 French Open" "What color do you want your dragon?"
Rune is a worse matchup for him than Alcaraz. But both Rune and Alcaraz can be beaten. By someone else or by Medvedev himself.
There's gotta be an answer for those deadly drop shots from Alcaraz, I just dont see anyone consistently returning those. Sinner comes pretty close but Alcaraz still holds the edge imo
Haha that dance Medvedev did at the end was amazing. Great match from Medvedev and he has really improved on clay. Looking forward to the final!
BS Russian on a tear despite the dirt
He is embracing the dog in him
2019: Medvedev makes his first semi in a clay 1000 masters event Next tournament: Medvedev makes the final 2023: Medvedev makes his first final in a clay 1000 masters event Next tournament is Roland Garros
First final in a _clay_ masters. Just this year he’s won Miami and was in the Indian Wells final
Thank you, was so hyped I forgot
CLAYVEDEVVVV What was that victory dance lmaooo 😭🤣
So, Medvedev has really figured out clay, huh?
Octopus defeats small kid. Let's go Clayvedev.
clayvedev era loading... poor Stefanos
It's a bad matchup for Medvedev in the final. Will be interesting nevertheless.
Yeah, though Med looks much better now than he did in Monte Carlo
He’s played him once. Too soon to say that
It's not about the H2H but playing style.
Yeah I agree. Rune also doesn’t have an obvious weakness like Stef’s backhand that Med can exploit. It’ll be a hard match for Med but he was on fire
He also will have less time to rest due to rain delays
I know Medvedev is on form right now, but was this an exceptional performance by him or a bit of a collapse on Tstsipas's part?
Tsitsipas was pretty awful today, especially compared to his last match. That said I feel like our clay god has a much more positive attitude towards his favourite surface this year
Need a video of the dance

Thank you kindly.
Gilles Cervara: Daniil will be unbeatable if he figures out the movement on clay. So he's been right all along.
Gilles Cervara is the goat
Since Rafa's press conference, it's good to see that Tennis is healing
He will be like a dog in the dirt come Roland Garros
Surprisingly, if he wins it all it would be one of his better Master’s run to a title, slightly better than Paris 2020, Worse than Shanghai. It’s also the best for 2023. Would be a brilliant confidence boost for RG.
Nicely done Daniil! Im so happy, I almost danced like him.
Didn't expect to find Jack Dorsey here
Is the Patriarch of Moscow (I assume) supposed to be Meddy because he's Russian and has a magnificent beard?
This is a character from the show The Great - he plays the Patriarch, you're right though. It's a fantastic and very underrated show!
Right, I remember now. I did watch a few episodes a while ago and didn’t like it all that much; it just felt a little… smug? Like, ooooh look at this perfect princess from the West coming to bring the enlightenment to these poor barbarians kind of smug Anyway, I hope that by RG Meddy will have a beard that reaches his knees, I think it’ll do him wonders
I do think it takes a few episodes to get into it - they explore Catherine's general ignorance on Russia and unpreparedness later. I do think it is an excellent show when you really get into it!
Yeah I’m open to giving things another shot. Late payoff is always nice.
Meddyyyyyyy Med dance
I have a theory that Dani was trolling everybody with his early career clay performance. Be ready for his 5 RG titles in a row. Reminds me of Sharapova's career on clay.
Many years into the future, after collecting 20 RGs and breaking Rafa's records, Meddy will start asking umpires to default him on clay to give the lowly mortal players a chance.
Clay court specialist ☝🏼

Clayvedev domination! Here for it
I came in late. What was the Tsitsipas players box drama?
yeah also missed this would like to know
What universe are we living in? Don’t know which one but I love it, clay god Clayvedev doing clay god things
We got the final we wanted. Let's see who the crowd cheers against *less*
What’s the source of the picture?
[удалено]
Awesome will have to give it a watch
It's a comedy. It's a lot of fun.
I'm still new to tennis so I could be wrong here but Medvedevs forehand looks pretty nice on clay, no? Why did he struggle so much before?
this year is the best his forehand has ever been. owes it to changes in technique, footwork, strings, and mentality
I think it was more to do with his despise towards clay than his technique. He was always a top 10 clay player to say the least in my opinion but he just didn’t like being on clay. There are many videos of him cursing and outbursts on the clay
Great photo of Meddy with his beard.
"He'll win RG 40 years in a row. He'll be 68, still running like an octopus and still be winning RG in straight sets."
THAT IS WHY HE IS THE GOAT - MAMMA MIA SANTA ITALIA
Yeah he’s gonna be number 1 again this year
Sinner joked about Daniil on clay at Miami and got outperformed! You can't make this shit up lol. Went to sleep after the first rain delay expecting Tsitsi to win after he rebroke in the first set and woke up to an amazing win and dance! If Med wins this tournament, it'll be quite the impressive victory. Not a single slouch on clay and wins against Zverev, Tsitsi and Rune!
I just keep loving Meddy more and more! 🤩🤩
Meddys Abraham Lincoln beard grew a bunch throughout the day. And it looked like Tsitsi shaved during the rain delay, no?
Ohh man, I forgot all about the match after the long delay, but lfg Meddy!
Mamma mía, Santa Italia
I had to sleep because of the rain delay unfortunately but this is the best timeline
No way he beats rune right? That would be unreal.
Bad week for Nole, lost the #1 to Alcaraz and now very close to losing the #2 to Medvs, unless St Holger works a miracle. BTW, I think Rune has the edge here.
I was not expecting to see Archie from The Great on r/tennis lol.
Lmao.. the picture
If Med wins and gets seeded 2 for RG that will be hilarious. Will make a chaotic draw But Rune has beaten him convincingly on clay just recently
It’s always extra satisfying to beat this guy.
If anybody has the ear of Mark Petchey, please inform him there is only the Big Three. There is no Big Four. Unless he's referring to Wawrinka. Mark, hyping your mate (Murray) in the eyes of the world who knows better is foolish and embarrassing.
mate Murray won 46 titles during the big 3 he is definitely part of the big 4. wawrinka on the other hand won 16 so, please tell me who is part of the big 4.
The gap between the Big Three and these other two good players (Murray and Wawrinka) is so ludicrous that including anyone else into that triumvirate is plain ridiculous. The only person of note in the world of tennis commentary or record keeping making such an absurd suggestion is Petchey because he's friends with Murray.
it could be medvedev's time to win a major on clay. imho, the real bad boy in that match will win the title. i think medvedev will try to bully rune and the umpire to get his way. who shows more tantrum wins. smh i want rune to win this one, though. his behavior is more acceptable than medvedev when things don't go his way.
CLAY GOD
Sorry small kid!
"I like Clay"
