I agree with him.

I disagree. Plenty of talented players succeed, and many of them were not hard working.

Xavier Malisse.
Marcelo Rios.
Nick. Kyrgios.
Alexander Bublik.
Yannik Noah (no, he did NOT spend the time on court).
I am certainly missing many more.

Can I argue that the game was different back when JMac et al were playing? The man not on the list, Ivan Lendl, changed all of the "I just show up and play tennis" attitudes in the men's game.

I think it also depends on how you define success in the game - if the standard is Serena & Novak, well then you need talent, and hard work.

McEnroe also played and won a ton of doubles matches. He was clear at the time that doubles was all the practice that he needed for his singles.
