The Gays and Tennis Part 66: end of the season!

last thread

the interview with Olya

Hot daddy Taylor Fritz thirst trap photo

he's too thin

shocking to see Cilic get destroyed by Jonas Forejtek (who?)

With Forejtek win i just watched some number who show how ahead Felix and Sinner are from their peers.

Wins on an atp main draw from players born in 2000 and under

2000

FAA (62) Wild (7) Molleker (4) Korda (3) Gaston (3) Kuhn (2)

2001

Sinner (25) Nakashima (3) Forejtek (1)

2002

Musetti (5)

2003

Alcaraz (1)

Wild is probably the strangest case because he won a title (the only one of the bunch who won one) but he is not even top 100

R4 Forejtek was a former junior number one, he won the US Open junior last year.

A lot of potential but pretty awful year till this victory. With this win he jumps to number 355 in the ranking

Do you refer to Wild Card?

No, to Thiago Seyboth Wild

Shapo beaten by Albot

And Felix is on the verge of losing with Caruso.

This draw was supposed to be perfect for him winning his first title

And he lost

yikes the Sofia draw has completely fallen apart. At this point I'd expect the winner of de Minaur/Sinner to take the title.

FAA losing to Caruso is another headscratcher he must be tired after the last several weeks. His last 2 losses were quite poor

It's not only that he lose to Caruso (who had a pretty good year) it's that he didn't even have the chance to win a set.

He needs to rest and start next season at the best possible level. He needs to win a tournament as soon as possible and reach at least quarterfinals on a GS to really believe in his chances

Domi is Austria's Sportsman of the Year

The ATP Finals draw is out:

[bold]Group Tokyo[/bold]

Novak Djokovic

Daniil Medvedev

Alexander Zverev

Diego Schwartzman

[bold]Group London[/bold]

Rafael Nadal

Dominic Thiem

Stefanos Tsitsipas

Andrey Rublev

wow Schwartzman is in with the 3 assholes. He'll likely be the pass around bottom but I hope he can somehow reach the SF.

I really want to see how improved Rublev is. I'd love to see him blast Nadal off the court

Go, Diego!!!!

why tokyo????????

Diego has very little chances no matter the group. This is not the type of surface he likes and the rest are better on indoor hardcourts.

Tsitsipas better bring last year level or he will lose a lot of points.

I think there are good chances that Nole and Rafa get eliminated before semifinals

Bruna is a lucky girl.

[quote]why Tokyo?

I think the first year-end championships were held in Tokyo in 1970. So it's the 50th edition this year

Berrettini and Shapovalov are the alternates, Monfils and Raonic declined

Melzer/Roger Vasselin are the last double team to qualify for London Finals as they won their semifinal in Sofia. Even if they win the final, Murray/Skupski can't pass them now

Popsicle has a busty GF

R23 How basic

And Sinner will play his first final

And tomorrow Sinner will win!

I so want Nadal to win the Finals so he can get that monkey off his back. But no way he wins this.

He'll be lucky if he makes semifinals.

If he wins against Rublev he has a big chance of making at least semifinals because i can't see Tsitsipas defeating him (unless he is in better form than in recent tournaments).

Of course his match against Rublev is difficult to predict, he crushed Andrey the only time they played but that was ages ago and Rublev is playing very well on indoor hardcourts.

Anyway he has more chances in his group than with Medvedev and Zverev

Double Finals draw

GROUP BOB BRYAN

Mate Pavic/Bruno Soares

Marcel Granollers/Horacio Zeballos

John Peers/Michael Venus

Jurgen Melzer/Edouard Roger-Vasselin

GROUP MIKE BRYAN

Rajeev Ram/Joe Salisbury

Kevin Krawietz/Andreas Mies

Wesley Koolhof/Nikola Mektic

Lukasz Kubot/Marcelo Melo

It’s doubles match.

Sinner won the first set on the final 64

I think Sinner’s one of the most interesting youngsters in ages. Destined for greatness.

I think the same. His groundstrokes are very clean and he is a very pleasurable player to watch. I think he'll be a top 20 player soon.

He won't be seeded in Australia, so a seeded player will suffer for that

and Pospisil won the second one 63

Vasek is having a pretty good year

Since second set, Sinner is making tons of errors in the first shot after the service

Sinners wins 7-6

I agree R32. Sinner could have an incredible career.

Linz final

Sabalenka vs Mertens

Sinner is fun to watch. I'd love to see him draw Nadal, Djokovic or Zverev in the first round of next year's AO and knock them out.

Pospisil is now a 3 time loser in finals. Who knows how many more chances he'll have since he's 30

Agree with the Sinner love. He appears to have "it." Love his red hair too although it is currently shapeless.

would be funny to see Murray play Sinner next year

old red vs. new red

Murray should just retire. He will get crushed by Sinner.

Bernard Tomic is dating "an" OnlyFans model (Vanessa Sierra)

I was going to post the same.

Good for him, he needs to look for work and it's obvious tennis is not his thing

Well, R43, he was always a class act.....

Thiem beats Titsy in the first London match

Has anyone subscribed to her OF to keep us informed of the level of Tomic’s participation?

I don't know if it's any demand to watch Tomic

love me some Vasek, now and forever

so far Rublev is still being 1 dimensional as ever, unable to deal with Nadal's heavy topspin. Just like last week he lost to Wawrinka. I would have thought playing Nadal indoors would have given him more of a chance

Nadal is playing well though

It was only one break, but the truth is he had no break points and he only put pressure in one of Nadal's serves

And Rublev's starts the second set losing his serve.

If he is not able to cause trouble to Rafa on this surface there's no hope for him against Nadal

miserable opening game in the second by Rublev

Nadal is going to be in semis, Tsitsipas always have trouble against him and now he'll have to play with a lot of pressure

Nadal is playing well but very disappointing performance from Rublev. He's improved this year but clearly struggles against players who don't hit with the usual amount of spin

Nadal played very well today. It was surprising...,

Andy Roddick has become a great commentator....I like him a lot on Tennis channel

Tomic has a nice ass, I'd rather see that than that cheap ho twat

Don't waste your money, R58. Tomic shows more in R43 than he does on the OF site.

Novaxx and li'l Diego. I have seen training sessions more competitive than this match. And Novaxx does a little longer praying to heaven and the boobs out are still directed to the empty stands. He is the Momma Rose of the Tennis world.

R58 Come on, she is hot on a cheap way, he is homely with an awful personality

I knew Schwartzman would be useless at this tournament. He's fun to watch on clay and outdoor hard but faster surfaces he's helpless.

The worst part is that he started the match pretty well, he was the one who got the break first.

I have the feeling Nole is going to suffer with Zverev and Medvedev.

Probably Rafa will get in trouble with Thiem, but he has a very clear h2h against Tsitsipas and Stefanos is not at his best right now

Team Daniil. Can't stand even looking at that git Zverev.,

as much as I don't like Medvedev, I'll take him over an alleged abuser any day

Playing like that Nole is going to destroy them

That was a pretty dismal affair. The only good thing, David Ferrer still looks great.

Med unfollowed Zverev on insta. ouch!

Oooh, do tell, r68. Why do you think he did that?

Med's a character. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but always a character, I like that. And his strokes/game are unique and sort of funky.

FWIW, R69, I think that Zverev’s ex said that he beat her because she was taking too long talking to Medvedev’s wife instead of promptly returning to the hotel with him.

If Medvedev dislikes him the rest of the Russian gang will soon follow. I doubt Zverev has many friends left on tour.

reading a prepared statement from his phone during the press conference

people are going off in the comments

It seems to be the consensus that A. Zverev is a cunt.

Med’s wife and Zverev’s ex are friends. I thought it was odd/creepy the way he gave her a shout out after the Paris final.

Is it possible to be a dick and a cunt at the same time, Mary?

2nd tie break in the never-ending Thiem-Nadal match.

"Mary Carillo, digging deep to be insightful"

R75, you don't know how much this made me laugh.

Also "dropping her voice even lower and semi-whispering to sound insightful."

happy to oblige!

thx

Tsitsipas started the match very well, but losing the second 0-40 with your serve is not a good sign

Titsy won!

Rublev probably really shouldn't have had a match point to begin with, but he did and then to double fault? Ouch.

I'm watching the Tennis Channel replay of the Thiem-Nadal match, and the lighting makes it seem as if Domicakes is wearing makeup on court.

It looks like Djokovic and Pospisil are now asking to be reinstated/reelected onto the ATP Players' Council. If true, this means that their attempt to form an alternative players' union has failed, and if it has failed there are probably only two possible reasons:

1) players aren't interested in alternatives to the ATP

2) players don't trust Djokovic to organize/run an alternative structure to the ATP.

Either way, egg/face/Djokovic.

They drummed you out of the PTPA, so you come crawling back to the Player’s Council. But the ATP doesn't go for booze and dope. Now get out of my way, I've got a man waiting for me.

Mate Pavic is hot. He appears to be pretty fantastic at playing doubles as well.

I think they just elected substitutes to the council so i doubt they want them back.

Zverev refuses to talk about his personal life, and it's probably for the best

lmao fuck those right wing nutjobs DJokovic and Pospisil

egg on their faces!

when Medvedev is playing a competitive match, he gets this boyish, stupefied expression on his face

Medvedev with the first set!

He's now taken Murray's place as third best grinder on tour

and he is up 3-0 in the second!

I would like to see Djoker lose. Come on Med.

Med! Med! Med!

And Medvedev does what we’d all like to do—give Djokovic a good rogering.

To be honest i was expecting Daniil to win, but it was way easier than i was expecting

this way Novak will avoid Rafa in the semis, right?

[quote] He's now taken Murray's place as third best grinder on tour

But he’ll never be among the Big Four.

Is Round Robin in tournament?

R99 He has lost to Bye

awkward chest bump between Nikola Mektic and Wesley Koolhof lol

Mektic is quite fuckable.

Andy Roddick looks bizarre with that half-assed mustache he has now. It’s a different color than his hair (reddish-brown as opposed to brown). It’s as if he has difficulty growing facial hair.

Roddick's pornstache is ridiculous. But, I'm here for it.

I hope Tsitsipas beats Nadal today. If he can't beat him on this surface, that would be ridiculous.

I had a feeling Rublev would defeat Thiem today.

Of course Rublev was going to win. Thiem relax once he gets what he wants and you need to put your all to defeat Rublev nowadays.

R105 Tsitsipas could defeat Nadal in any surface, the problem is Nadal can do exactly the same but with better chances. I don't think Stefanos is in good enough form to pull a surprise

Stefanos is good enough but he lacks the killer instinct.

Mektic/Koolhof and Ram/Salinsbury qualfy for semifinali

Now let's go to the dramas

Kubot/Melo split

Mektic/Koolhof split

Pavic/Soares split

Kubot will play with Koolhof in 2021

Pavic will play with Mektic

Melo gets Rojer

Soares goes back to Murray

Melzer retires and Roger-Vasselin will partner with Kontinen

Rafa wins in 3. Yeah, Titsy doesn't have the will. Rafa still does.

Rafa will probably play till hes 50 lol

I tried to watch but Nadal is too annoying.....his mannerisms are TOO much for me.

omg I'm so sick of over 30 Nadal outlasting almost everyone

Tsitsipas seemed flat in the third maybe he was tired. Just weird after he won the second that he collapsed

Hooray for Rafa! GOAT!

You would think that Novaxx match would be in the afternoon/evening and the Rublev in the morning.... does anyone know why?

The Djokovic match IS on in the afternoon.

It is on right now vs Zverev (afternoon in Europe, early morning in the US), prime time (Friday evening in Europe, afternoon in the US) is reserved fro Medvedev vs. Li'l Diego, a match that has no consequences whatsoever.

Another Djokodal final?

More time for Zverev to find other women to abuse.

I'll take Novak over that stupid punk any day of the week.

I'll take multiple choice C) none of the above.

It's a shame Zverev didn't win. It would have been nice to see him beat someone that wasn't his girlfriend.

so it's all on Thiem and Medvedev whether they can stop the endless domination of Nadal and Djokovic.

#compelling

Granollers/Zeballos retires because of Granollers' problems at a shoulder in the tiebreak of first set against Melzer/Roger-Vasselin

Melzer/R-V qualify for the semifinals along with....Granollers/Zaballos....let's see if G/Z play tomorrow

R113 Tsitsipas is not in good form, as simple as that. He spends too much time in social media instead of improving his fitness.

It happened the same against Nole in Roland Garros, it's not normal that you end exhausted when your rivel (which is more than ten years older) is in way better shape at the end of the match.

I want new players winning big titles but most of then doesn't have the hunger that Rafa or Nole had when they were their age

R118 I'm not that sure. Nole has to play a lot better he is playing if he wants to defeat Thiem.

And Medvedev is playing really well, he choked last year against Nadal, but he was dominating that much clearly before failing big time

Daniil is looking good tonight; playing well.

[quote] Melzer/R-V qualify for the semifinals along with....Granollers/Zaballos... - .let's see if G/Z play tomorrow

It’s doubles match.

I presume you mean his game, R127.

R129 Well, Daniil looks have some fans on this site

That’s some bullshit. I wanted Bruno and Mate to win.

Can Medvedev deny Nadal?

Thiem team!

I’m glad that Fassbender’s lookalike beat shitty Granollers/Zeballos.

[quote] I’m glad that Fassbender’s lookalike

Who is that?

Thiem can never put Djokovic away in straight sets

he had THREE match points in the second set tiebreak but ended up fucking up . Then he was down 2-4 in the third set tiebreak before winning 7-5

at least he won finally

[quote]Who is that?

I guess Wesley Koolhof?

Thanks, R137.

[quote] Thiem team!

Thiem team!

Domicakes team!

Yeah, R136, Thiem seems to love to complicate things for himself. Think about the US Open when he played like shit for two sets. In the second set tiebreak today, Thiem blew those match points and couldn't get his serve in toward the end of the tiebreaker. Really frustrating to watch him do that.

I hope Medvedev can take out Nadal. What I'd really like to see, though, is two young guys battling it out in the Australian Open final and not one of the Big 3 winning it. But it's probably going to be one of the Big 3. It was pathetic the way all those bitches rolled over for Nadal at the French.

R136 He was 4-0 in the last tie break, and he won. He won the last 5 tie breaks against Nadal.

Nole is probably the best player on tie breaks, it was a tough match, but Domi won.

And Medvedev has chances against Nadal, he was winning quite easily last year before choking big time

R140 To be fair, this was one of those years were Nadal is very superior to his rivals at RG. The only one who put pressure on him was Sinner, unfortunately he was unable to deal with the pressure on the key momments

[quote] I’m glad that Fassbender’s lookalike beat shitty Granollers/Zeballos.

It’s doubles match.

Djokovic out, though Thiem was down 0/4 in the third set tiebreak. Now let’s hope Medvedev takes out Nadal.

Melzer/Roger-Vasselin have more lives than cats in this tournament

I don't know, Medvedev is putting some pressure on Rafa's serve (while winning quite easily his own) but when you miss opportunities against Rafa you end regretting it

And as expected at the first opportunity he tanks his serve

Rafa team or Medvedev team?

Medvedev's forehand sometimes is a fluff shot that sits up waiting to be whacked and Nadal is whacking it. He needs to flatten it out more.

At least Daniil reacted 3-0 for him in the second set

But again after wasting break points Nadal break his serve

this has turned into a very weird match by both

Daniil with the break

Nadal served at 5-4 in the second for the match. From that point on he's had loads of uncharacteristic misses both forehand and backhand

Medvedev has hung around and is finally being more aggressive. For most of the match he was just reacting to Nadal

Daniil

Wow, Med took it.

Domi v Daniil, that's good shit.

an error ridden finish for Nadal

glad he's out but that was bizarre

nadal was very strange today. After he failed to serve for the match....lots of strange errors for him. I have a feeling that Thiem wins tomorrow.

the top 10 guys have now proven they can stop the big 3 at every event except slams. That's the next step

I do think there is hope for the 2021 AO though

so Nadal once again comes up short at the WTF.

big glaring absence in his resume

Roddick's mustache is atrocious

WTF?

Mery Xisca is not happy

Team Daniil! I always think he looks like a very, very tall 14 year-old with a fake beard.

He does look like an overgrown boy.

[quote]Mery Xisca is not happy

well she can fuck his sister, that'll help

R159 hopefully the 2021 Aus Open gets played. Might be pushed back due to covid.

Xisca + Rafael = True Love

R168 Oui!

Fassbender’s lookalike wins double match tournament

It’s doubles match.

but who gets to keep the trophy?

Yay!

Sorry I didn’t elaborate on who Fassy’s lookalike was!

Well, Daniil is a break up in the third and he is the one having the opportunities to break, so unless Thiem rise his level he'll lose the final for a second year in a row

Which network is it even being shown on in the US? I can't find it! I thought it was going to be on the Tennis Channel.

Club Med someone ahead in this match.

I'm not a big Thiem fan. I don't actively dislike him, but he as and his unflattering shorts do nothing for me.

[quote] ut he as and his unflattering shorts do nothing for me.

?

R175 espn 2

Thanks, R178. My listing shows ESPN2 as showing 2020 Spikeball College Series: The Lost Season.

Arrggh.

Medvedev looks like a dispossessed Russian royal of the early 20th century with bad hygiene.

Poor Domicakes.

R180, that’s the thing: Medvedev is, at least, very distinctive. I’ve been watching Thiem for years now and I have no idea who he is. He doesn’t seem have a personality that comes across on court.

med has personality? lol

I'll take Thiem's bland personality over Medvedev's abrasive, abusive one any day.

R182 Curiously he seems to be one of the most liked players and it's not like Nadal or Federer have big personalities. Thiem has a big game and that should be enough

I thought that Thiem was going to win it.....but crazy Medvedev won. I do not like him but I think his tantrums are entertaining. I hope that one day we can have simultaneous subtitling of whatever he says during the match.

Medvedev was able to withstand the barrage of Thiem's winners and capitalized on his errors in the second and third sets. He also somehow was more consistent than Djokovic and Nadal this week. Not my favorite style of play but he just defeated the top 3 players in 1 week. That's a good stat

don't like his personality either but I'm just glad it was not another Nadal vs. Djokovic borefest

People want another nadal/djoko match, they dont want thiem/ zverev like at us open or thiem/med

I definitely don't want another nadal-djoko match. I've seen it enough.

I think Med is fascinating, his game I mean. It's not something I've seen before, I'm not quite sure how to describe it.

R189 it is not only about match. It is about bein goat, djoko will get 18th slam or not, nadal will 21th being the best of all time or maybe fed will win being 40. Nobody cares about match like rublev/ tsitsipas

I seem to be the only person who likes Daniil including his looks and personality. He at least has some charisma and does well speaking. I'll take him over someone like Naomi Osaka every day of the week.

I think Medvedev is handsome. He also seems very likable in interviews.

Medvedev reminds me of Tomic in terms of look, particularly in the face.

I like Daniil too!

Fed will be lucky to get one more slam. Father time is undefeated. Especially to athletes over 40.

I'd like to see Fed get lucky like Nadal has the last few years. So many Slam draws fell apart or players just handed the match to Nadal over and over. Fed should be at 21 but he totally blew it against Djokovic at Wimbledon in 2019.

Speaking of blowing it, Thiem is so frustrating to watch. He has the match in hand and then starts blowing it. He's admitted he gets tight. He needs to overcome that.

Also, now that the AO is in question, I wonder how it will affect older players. If it had been a normal year, Novaxx could have easily won Wimbledon. Federer (injured) would have dropped to... 30? and would have had a far more difficult path to a GS. Covid worked well for him since it saved all his points from 2019. I think Covid will place some kind of invisible asterisks next to some players.

I want to watch a GS without a big 3 and with all of them in the draw.

I want a reminiscent of late 90's wta with new players and the old ones fighting for GS.

And i want young new players making an impact next year, i want they put some pressure on the Tsitsipas, Zverev and company. Some of them think they'll win GS when the big 3 retires and i want some new players showing them they better rush to do it

Former New York mayor and tennis fan/supporter David Dinkins has died.

Dinkins remembers his friend Arthur Ashe.

R198, without COVID-adjusted rankings for 2020 events and factoring in only those tournament that did get played, Federer's current rank would be #27. Raonic would be #9, PCB #10, Garin #12, Ruud #14, FAA #16, Coric #18, and Sinner #24. Berrettini would have plummeted from #10 to #31 and Fognini from #17 to #63. The rankings adjusted for COVID are logic free.

He's the reason we have the present US Open ground in NYC. It's pretty fabulous even if Ashe stadium is a monstrosity.

Looks like the Aussie Open will be delayed til Feb 1, which will push around some ATP 250s

I didn’t realize that Taylor Fritz was already divorced. He’s lived quite a life for 23 year old.

will the extra 250s all be in Australia?

lmao the right wingers and pampered top players aren't going to like being quarantined in Australia for a whole month

their entitlement is going to be hilarious for hate-watching

Let's be honest, i don't understand how the US Open was able to manage the tournament and the austrlians are having so much trouble.

Two weeks of delay is not that much, but during a while they talked about playing in april, which means push all the clay season.

And i hope they play qualifications, because they were talking about skipping them (like they'll do with the junior tournament)

why 2 weeks later?

Med really has personality

R209 Is it the alleged sexting with the underage girl?

R210 Thats right

Big deal. You don't think all of those tennis pros (really, all pro athletes) aren't horn dogs as well? Let me guess: you've never had sex yourself and are saving yourself for the one-and-only to marry? Bitch, please.

The dumbest thing about 2020 was the French Open happening 2 weeks after the US Open. The French hate Nadal, but their choice guaranteed Nadal another French Open. All his main competition was gassed from a grueling US Open. Way to go, stupid Frenchies!

R213 Sorry but nothing of that is true.

First, french hated Nadal, now they simply recognize that he is the best player on their tournament by far. The times they cheered his opponents are long gone. Maybe if he plays against a french or Federer, but not against any other player.

Second, the conditions of this Roland Garros were clearly against Rafa. The time of the year, the roof, the lack of clay season. He was not even playing that well on Rome, so saying anything was made to guarantee another Nadal's win is ridiculous

Sure, R214. Nadal not playing the US Open while his main rivals played and were tired had NOTHING to do with it. Uh huh. I have a lot of French friends who are tennis fans. They all say most French people hate Nadal while still respecting him. I'm the same way. I respect him, but it doesn't change that I can't stand him.

LOL to your saying the conditions at RG were against Nadal. Clay, no matter what time of year or lack of clay season, ALWAYS favors Nadal. And he played fine in Rome. Diego just played practically the match of his life. Nadal is the greatest on clay ever. He was always the favorite coming into that tournament. The fact that the US Open was played two weeks before and the only men who could take him down were gassed just raised those odds even higher and all but guaranteed another French for him. Also the fact that Djokovic did not show up with his A game in the final helped a lot.

This year, I'd love to see someone finally take it to Nadal at the French, even if he loses. So many just give up, like Djokovic did this year and has in the past.

I have lived in Paris for 9 years and I have been many times to RG. At the beginning, the French hated Nadal because they wanted Federer to win...but now the French love Nadal. Go and check L'équipe or other French newspapers the day after Nadal wins.

[quote] This year, I'd love to see someone finally take it to Nadal at the Frenc

Next year, dear. Next year.

yeah I think if Nadal had played the USO he might not have won RG this year. Unless he lost in the first 3 rounds, he wouldn't have had all the rest and practice time he likes to have.

[quote] And i hope they play qualifications, because they were talking about skipping them

Will Qualifier and Lucky Loser not play Aussie Open?

Now, THAT'S a hair-don't.

How is lez icon Pampers Shriver doing? Has she found herself a sugar mommy yet or is she still pretending to be straight?

R226 I doubt it, she is not that known in the USA, and in Europe most people don't give a shit about cultural appropiation, specially in the stupid context of hairstyle

On other news, Muguruza's brother is delish! She is a beautiful woman (that body!) and the brother also got some of those hot genes.

Pliskbot has hired Sascha.

Felix fitness...

lmao Sascha is the Dani Vallverdu of the WTA. Kinda ironica that she just fired Vallverdu too

Sascha and Yastremska ended in a pretty bad note.

Anyway, to change her brainless ballbashing ways must be a really hard work.

Pliskova really needs to change something, she tanked a good opportunity this year to win a GS, failing big time at the US Open and Roland Garros

Pliskova comes across as pretty brainless in general. Her Instagram profile pic looks right out of Prague's backpages.

Felix is everything.

Popsicle with glasses.

I'd rather he shilled for jockstraps.

I'm watching an old Nadal/Moya match on Tennis Channel. Nadal was only 16. Even then he was picking his ass. It's almost sweet to watch: "Awwww. Baby's first ass picking."

Quite the look from Domi.

And now, R244:

Will next year's Australian Open be held without any spectators like this year's French and US Opens? How will the rankings work for the women? Most of last year's points could not be defended this year. On what basis is that joke Ash Barty still number one?

I miss tennis season already

fear not, I believe the season starts on Jan 1st! Less than a month

Domi has some birthin hips

R253, are you basing that on R248?

Jack Sock is getting married this weekend.

Nadal has received the Community of Madrid's highest honor, the Grand Cross of the Order of Dos de Mayo. The award recognizes his sporting achievements, values and merits as a person.

What is Uncle Toni up to these days? Still married to his beard?

Are we sure the priest was real?

Meanwhile Rafa is training Felix.

R258 What? I can understand speculation about Rafa because his relationship with his wife is peculiar but Toni seems pretty standard straight douche for me

Didn't Uncle Toni only get married when he was in his fifties?

R262, he did, but I think it was to the woman he had lived with for decades.

Gurrrrrrrrrrl @ R244

R262 Maybe that's weird in the USA, i don't think it's that weird in Spain right now.

In Spain is pretty unusual marry very young, people usually marry at lat twenties - early thirties, but it's not unusual not marry at all, or decide to marry later (specially if you are in a long term relationship).

What would be weird for us is a Taylor Fritz's case

Congratulations to Rafa!

I love Rafa, but couldn't he shave for the ceremony? That five o'clock shadow is hidjus.

Federer still isn't fit after the surgeries on his left knee and is unsure whether he will be ready for the Australian Open

Why are Gramps Fed and Granny Vee prolonging their careers at this point? Neither of them has even a remote shot at winning a big title again and they don't exactly need the money either. Won't repeated early round losses just become really demoralising after a while?

At least Great Aunty Serena is still good enough to reach the semis and finals.

I love seeing my Russian Bear scratching his dick head all the time. I'm sure also love to lick on his thick, creamy, tartar smegma. Squirt it in my mouth, Daniil.

The expected level of erudition from a Medvedev fan....

In Spain it is quite normal NOT to get married.

Popsil and mushrooms. Not the magic ones.

Oh god, I can see now why Popsicle and Djokovic are so close, r273. Hekate!? This crock of shit gives you Immunity! Endurance! Calm and Focus! And if you talk to it before you take it you can probably neutralise chemtrails and ward off the evil spirits fed into the ether by 5G networks. But vaccines are evil, right?

Given it's a boring time in tennis maybe we can make our predictions for next year

R275 Nadal wins yet another French

Federer retires.

R276 That's hardly a prediction anymore, more a sure shot.

I think the big 3 won't win all GS.

Alcaraz and Musetti will enter top 100 and Sinner will be top 20.

Felix will win his first title

R278 I know but I wanted a sure fire bet.

R275, my predictions

Gramps Fed will retire after early losses at Wimbledon and the US Open

Granny Vee will be left off the Olympic team, Serena will kick up a fuss and threaten not to play, and then Vee will be added to the team. She'll lose in the first round and then finally retire.

Nadal will win yet another French Open sending the tennis fans into a coma caused by sheer boredom.

Osaka will return to number one and then go into freefall again for a while.

Kenin will stay Top 5 and make another major final but lose again. Barty will flop and drop out of the Top 10.

Gauff will lose and cry after every Grand Slam loss.

Djokovic will not win a single Slam. Nadal will win the US Open with yet another creampuff draw and a joke like Kevin Anderson or Kyle Edmund as a finals opponent.

Misery will retire and have an affair with Kevin Spacey.

Martina Navratilova will make a singles comeback and win a match. In her second match she'll lose to a MTF, say something snarky and get banned from future WTA events thanks to the woke lynch mobs of Twitter.

R280 is spot on. I'm also making a comeback, bitches!

Kyrgios decides to win a slam and does.

Kyrgios follows Bernie to OnlyFans.

Kyrgios defeats Djoko in the Australian Open final, and then openly mocks Djoko's signature pandering with overly-emphasized boobs-out gestures to the cheering crowd. Kyrgios then proceeds to subtly roast Djoko in his address from the winners podium, with all of it going right over the head of shell-shocked Djoko.

R284.... I would love to see that, not only at AO but anywhere. It would be delicious.

SHARAPOVA is getting married to a man!!!!!

This thread is paywalled. Long live the new thread!

I would love to see that R284

So what reason is Federer citing for not playing the Australian Open?

knee still not healed R289
