He said, “If you want to hit with Isner and myself, it’s $2,000. It’s the steal of the century. But let me tell you what you get from me for $150,000. I’ll walk your dog, I’ll teach you how to fold laundry. I’ll even give you a psychological lesson on how not to win a major.”

Further, he went on to add, “I’ll do your taxes, I’ll make you some lunch. I’ll teach you how to make amazing social media content. I’ll even tuck you in at night. And since you won’t be winning a Slam, I’ll teach you the next best thing, how to play pickleball.”
