"We all know what it was, amazing to watch and I mean I love both of these guys, love watching both of these guys. I mean they're obviously leading the way in our sport right now. I hear a lot of people talk about, it just takes like putting together two weeks to win a slam. I think right now, there's a lot of people need to pick up the level to keep up with these guys."
