The Gays and Tennis: Part 68 wrapping up the AO and onto the post-AO swing

How the hell is Ashleigh Fucking Barty still ranked number one? Osaka, the holder of two Slams, is still only second and Barty, who hasn't won anything of note in two years, is still the top ranked player in the world?

R1 it is annoying but Barty still has her 2019 points on due to the pandemic. I agree it's a travesty that she has many more weeks at #1 than Osaka or Venus. Barty is a decent player but not an all-time great

Thanks, OP.

match between osaka and brady was NOT of the highest quality.... way too streaky from both players....

like to see osaka do well on the clay and the grass next.....

R4 the wind was a factor too.

Will Swiatek's ranking plunge when she doesn't defend her RG title in June? I guess 90% of her points are from her fluke RG run.

osaka got fat!

If he wasn't such an ass, Medvedev could almost be cute.

Finally saw some of the Granny vs Bridge Troll match. Granny Vee seems a little thicker and more full figured compared to her former, lean self. Is Granny pregnant? Is Great Auntie Ree about to become Auntie Ree Ree?

I think Medvedev is cute, and I like his whole enfant-terrible persona. Med for the win!

Bianca's on the fritz again

It's the way Andreescu plays. Check her scores all week long at the tournament she played after losing at the AO. She kept going long 3 setters. Her body isn't ready for all those marathons

Medvedev isn't bad looking but he's way too skinny, I hate the mole on his face and he's an asshole

Aren't persistent injuries sometimes a sign of PED use? Just wonderin', is all.....

[quote] Bianca's on the fritz again

Is Pliskbot? If any of my circuits or gears will help, I'll gladly donate them.

I think she's just lazy.

R6 By that time Swiatek will be a solid top 10. She is one of the best players on the circuit and one with the highest potential.

And if she holds her nerves at Roland Garros she'll get a deep run because at her best she is probably the best claycourter out there.

She is not Ostapenko

Hopefully Bianca's problems won't be serious. She was out of the circuit for too long and she is playing most of her matches in long three sets on not the best weather conditions.

She needs time to be competitive again

Is this where we talk about post-AO swing?

Daniil team or Nole team?

Medvedev's cool. He's intelligent, thoughtful, his interviews are interesting and often funny and he's one hell of a player. I don't find him attractive at all but there's something about him. He just seems like a nice bloke.

Maybe I should just shut my fuck up.

The umpire in the women's final is a large girl.

Medvedev has quite the 'fivehead' because of his receding hairline. I hope he wins though

Despite playing only 1 match, Benoit Paire hit most double faults of all male players at the AO (23)

Is Barty a lez? Did Sam Stosur ever come out or is she still pretending to be straight? Is it the water in Oz that all the major Aussie women except Yvonne Gollagong have been gay? Turnbull, Stosur, Barty, Court and even the imported Aussies like Hanna Mandlikova, every single one a rug muncher.

Stosur is married (with a woman) and they have a baby, so no, she is not pretending to be straight (in fact she never pretended to be straight).

And no, surprisingly Barty is not a lesbian, the same with Brady.

Not all players on the wta are lesbians, the same not all atp players are straight

[quote] Not all players on the wta are lesbians

Blasphemy!

Margaret you retired long time ago, and with you heterosexuality vanished from the circuit

David Nalbandian has joined Miomir Kecmanovic's team. [italic]#Miomir Team[/italic]

Hopefully it will have a positive effect.

Kecmanovic was supposed to be a big thing but he is not progressing at the right pace

R6 to be fair, Swiatek did reach the AO rd16 and lost to Halep in 3 sets. I don't think she's a fluke.

Krejčíkova/Ram won the Mixed Double title

Yum, Margaret Court! Now that's a Court I'd love to play with, I mean, play on and roll around on.

R30 She is one of the most talented players out there and she can play on any surface (she was Wimbledon junior champion).

And of course her RG run was not a fluke, it was one of the more dominant performances ever and she crushed Halep and Kenin in her way to the title

The women's final was not a pretty match. Very few decent rallies, most points were like 3-5 shots, and more ended with UEs than winners (excepting serve winners). It was a bit of a bash-fest. But give Naomi credit, she did it better.

Med is uncanny with his shots like young Rafa. His defense is incredible and he manufactures winners out of nothing. I don't know if he's on PEDs or anything else, but his play is crazy good. He could give Novak serious fight. Med Team.

[quote]not all atp players are straight

receipts please

R35 Jan-Michael Gambill

R7 Poor thing’s ugly too. Good thing she’s rich.

Osaka's on a 21-match winning streak and Chrissie Evert said it's because she has a boyfriend now (rapper YBN Cordae)

Leave it to Chrissie to ascribe it to the peen.

Osaka's career has been so fascinating and odd. She has just 7 titles with 4 of them being slams.

2018 Indian Wells def. Kasatskina 6-3 6-2

2018 USO def. Serena 6-2 6-4

2019 AO def. Kvitova 7-6(2) 5-7 6-4

2019 Tokyo def. Pavlyuchenkova 6-2 6-3

2019 Beijing def. Barty 3-6 6-3 6-2

2020 USO def. Azarenka 1-6 6-3 6-3

2021 AO def. Brady 6-4 6-3

runner up 3 times

2016 Tokyo lost to Wozniacki 5-7 3-6

2018 Tokyo lost to Ka. Pliskova 4-6 4-6

2020 Cincinnati lost to Azarenka by walkover

Is Chrissie still a nympho slut in her later years?

Has she won any Virginia Slims tournaments?

Really r41! Chrissie is just a friendly gal.

Osaka has been with her boyfriend for 2+ years. He was at her 2019 matches.

The women's final was dull.

R41 The options are limited for virile, red-blooded men who want to enjoy relations with heterosexual female tennis players. Thank God Chrissie is there to do her part!

So I’m hoping for a good match tonight - no matter what I hope it’s close - dare we hope for 5 sets? Tits Out has never lost an AO final and is going for his 3rd consecutive. But Medvedev is on a streak and hasn’t lost to a top 10 player in months. I think he’ll put up a good fight at the very least. Fingers crossed it’s a good one.

In any case I need to get back to some normal sleep patterns...

Wendy at R42, when you and Margaret do it on her Court, do you use protection?

Oh by "do it" I meant "read the Bible", not what you were wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin', dear fat Wends.

I want Medvedev to win but think Djokovic might take it, unless his "injury" reappears.

I want Medvedev too. OK — here we go guys! I’m excited for this.

hate watching this

jerk vs. jerk

but I'll go for the jerk who doesn't have a slam yet. SO SICK of Djokovic

at least it's not another nauseating Djokovic vs. Nadal final

I say this every slam but why the fuck does espn value Fowler so much? Why is he always part of the commentary team for the most important matches? I really don't understand his appeal. He's not a former player, arrogantly often interrupts and even argues with former pro players and just enjoys hearing himself speak. There's no reason for him to be there

Seems like even the Serbian fans want Medvedev to win this.

interesting to see Djokovic as the one trying to shorten points in this matchup

shaky game by Medvedev leads to Djokovic taking the first set 7-5

Can Rafa be number one if Med wins today? When will Serena return to number one?

if Medvedev wins, he'll rise to #2 in the rankings

Medvedev has now been broken 3 times in a row.

What was the deal with suave and sexy ginger daddy Cames Jourier during his playing days? From reading Armistead Maupin during the changeover to gushing about Stefan Edberg and saying: "You know how I feel about Eddie. I'd have his love child if I could."

Was he just being a homotease or was he trying to slowly test the waters and inch his way out of the closet?

Djokovic 7-5 6-2

Medvedev getting unnerved

really 1 sided now. I think Medvedev has been too defensive, playing very far back. Djokovic has cleaned up his game from the first set and is just dictating play.

disaster now from Medvedev

Medvedev self-destructing. Bit embarrassing atm.

who would have thought Fritz would end up giving Djokovic his toughest match? Then Zverev/Raonic tied for second

Djokovic is still the most dominant hardcourt player. Thiem couldn't get it done last year AO though he was close and then benefitted at the USO from Djokovic's dq and Nadal/Federer absence. Now Medvedev is not looking like a top 20 player.

I guess #NextGen is still going to be confined to winning Masters which is good but not great.

R52... i so so hear you about chris FOUL-er!... why is he there at all? granted, it's ESPN and he's ESPN employee, but still can't they just have chris mckendry and the former players as commentators?... he sucks and is a self absorbed ass... a few days they actually had him talking about a match and his thoughts on it, like he is SOME KIND OF tennis expert and should be solely listened to about anything?! ridiculous!....

then again, i guess it's not like he can turn down a assignment and he's getting paid so there you have it...

piss poor misses from Medvedev

Like Brady last night, Med could really benefit from some coaching here.

I really don't get why they don't allow coaching in GS tennis. Every other major sport allows coaching.

ah yes, another mental midget in medvedev....

can't wait for the french when rafa wins again outslugging, outlasting guys young enough to be his sons on slow red clay in 3 out of 5 sets!....

meanwhile what a miraculous recovery of novak from all his injuries, running down balls left and right, sliding to the corners and so on!...

IF medvedev had won that 1st set, i was so waiting for the "injury" timeout from novak....

Halep, Rafa and Serena all claimed phantom injuries before and during the tournament. It's a tale as old as time.

Medvedev shat his pants at 5-6 in the first and never figured out how to wipe his ass clean the rest of the match

What a great last overhead behind the back shot. Joker is an obnoxious punk but he's fucking talented. He made Med look like a club player.

what a miserable final

men's tennis still sucks hard and not the good kind of sucking

#NextGen are mental midgets

Djokovic and Nadal don't seem like they're going to stop dominating the slams anytime soon

Well that was...disappointing. Novaxx played superbly and smartly and MEHdvedev played sloppy and loose. So anticlimactic. When will #nextgen step up already? Well at least I get to go to sleep earlier than I thought. Was really hoping for a great match and now the long long break before the FO. 🥲

Are there any tourneys between now and FO that have will have top 10 players?

Enjoyed doing the AO with you guys. Let’s keep the conversation going.

Yikes, did the Australian Open only let in COVID-denying anti-vaxxers? This poor woman is getting booed left and right for mentioning vaccines and the Victorian government!

Damn, this crowd is incensed. WTF?

[quote] Halep, Rafa and Serena all claimed phantom injuries before and during the tournament. It's a tale as old as time.

Pedal also claimed to be injured before RG last year and it didn't seem to stop him winning his 13th. The Big Three always seem to have excuses ready before every major. And the Next Gen players are fucking useless, pampered cunts.

Joker's wife and kids are probably dreading his return.

R75, most of those booing belong to the Novak cult. Like Novaxx, they’re notoriously antivax and hardly likely to be pro-shutdown Labor voters. And not particularly representative of Australians in general. How do you spell “fascist-adjacent”?

Mens tennis is so dull. Should I check back in 3 or 4 years to see if someone else wins? Unless Djokovic hits another staff member with something to get kicked out.

No use R80. Eight years from now Nadal will still be winning Roland Garros, somehow "magically" out lasting men half his age or a third of his age in grueling five setters on the clay. Novaxx will similarly somehow outrun and outlast much younger men and win the AO for the 15th time.

Judy Murray will still be pleasuring herself with Andy's Wimbledon trophy and insisting that her lover, I mean, son was part of a Big 4 of tennis as though Misery Spacey is even worthy of being in the same room as Novaxxx, Gramps Hissy Fit and Pedal.

[quote]Are there any tourneys between now and FO that have will have top 10 players?

I think Indian Wells has been postponed, but usually there's the Miami, Monte Carlo and Madrid Open before Roland Garros (oh and Rome). The Rotterdam tournament starts a week from now and also has a strong field.

Between the craziness of the wta and the predictability of the atp there's a middle area that would make this sport way more interesting.

Big faliure of Medvedev in the final

Singapore draw is totally lackluster. Montpeliier looks lie a masters 1000 in comparission.

Felix withdraw which is a pity because it was a great opportunity to win his first title

Thiem is the only male player on the planet under the age of 33 to have won a Grand Slam.

And most next gen players are over the age any of the big 3 won their first GS (some of them way over)

Thiem only won it because Djokovic got defaulted. That final between him and Zverev was embarrassingly bad.

Djokovic was not going to win the US Open. He was hysterical just because he was losing the first set againts Carreño.

And Thiem played that bad because he had a problem with dealing he was the favourite, he played very well till that final

R88, but what doesn't upset him? One bad set doesn't mean you're not going to win the whole thing. Djokovic dropped a number of sets this time around.

But generally he reserves the raquet smashing for the times the match gets complicated. Against Carreño he didn't even lost the first set.

He was playing pretty bad and he knew he was not going to win (and it's quite easy to know that his level in US Open rarely matches his level in Australia, he has less US Open titles than Nadal)

Will Gramps kill himself when Nadal and perhaps Novaxxxx overtake him in the Slam tally? Gramps seems very invested in the legend that the media have built around him and seems to believe his own hype.

novak prepared that injury for Wawrinka

What is it with DL (like R80) & their irrational hatred of the Big 3 and hanging their hopes on these younger guys who clearly don't have what it takes & don't deserve to win?

If you think men's tennis is dull because the Big 3, who clearly are the best in history, keep winning then maybe you shouldn't watch.

R75 The crowd was full of Serbians.

Serbians = assholes

R52 he bugs the shit out of me too. I suspect he's meant to be the polished voice among the commentators. Johnny Mac is fun and has a lot of personal experiences to share but he can just yap and yap if someone isn't there to reel him in, his brother is no better and just a cringey cornball of annoying tics "the droppa" which I assume he dropped a few years ago after feedback though it will slip out or used if he's feeling cheeky. Then you have prissy, dainty Clffie Drysdale and the spastic motor mouth of Brad Gilbert and irritating Help coach talking about his pupil during a men's match. I'm guessing we are slapped with Fowler because he actually speaks in measured complete sentences and you can actually make out the words.

R93 I dont. I mainly watch women's tennis. More entertaining and not wasting time on predictable outcomes with the mens tournament.

R95 So why were you bitching?

If Novak ever ties Roger's GS tally, Mirka better have a safe room to hide in.

[quote] Mirka better have a safe room to hide in.

The refrigerator is her safe room!

I just hope someone starts beating the big 3 before they decide to retire or end up with career-ending injuries. Until Thiem wins second slam with them in the draw, his USO win will have an asterisk next to it.

The way Medvedev played the final, he probably would have lost to Nadal so he should thank Tsitsipas that he didn't have to face him.

men's tennis is not fun anymore. It needed new young slam winners 7 years ago. It's not a problem having the big 3 in the mix for slams as they're obviously the best ever but it is a very bad look for the tour 2 guys into their mid 30s are outright dominating slams.

1 of the younger guys is going to need to step up this year and stop them at at least 1 of the remaining slams

New balls, please!

[quote] If you think men's tennis is dull because the Big 3, who clearly are the best in history, keep winning then maybe you shouldn't watch.

"Best in history" is highly subjective. Even if it were true it does not preclude the possibility of the lack of any competition and the utter predictability of men's tennis making it really dull and tedious. Not to mention the slowing down of surfaces to make all majors the same rallies of baseline attrition over and over again.

Djokovic has 18 singles grand slams now, catching up to Federer's and Nadal's 20.

I find this depiction offensive.

R103 Catching them won't be that easy.

Right now on RG he is clearly behing not only Nadal but Thiem too. He didn't won three GS in a year since 2015 and i doubt he'll win them this year.

His chances depend of the young players, not only to defeat him but to cause him trouble enough to reach tired the final rounds but if nothing changes sooner or later he'll do it becuase the next gen is not a strong one.

Unless Sinner really rise pretty fast i doubt any of the 96-00 generation is mentally strong enough to compete on a final against any big 3 (of course they could lose before reaching the final)

When Roger comes back will he have a protected ranking?

He doesn't need it. The rankings froze last year so he still is number 5

There is no Big 3 in the current game. Fed at fortyish is unlikely to take another GS. At most one more Wimbledon, and that looks iffy. And Nadal at almost 35 looks to be finally succumbing to the beating he's given his body for two decades. I'd peg him for one or two more GS titles. By April Fed will fall to #8 or so unless he has a miraculous resurgence.

I make fun of Misery and his mother here, but I wish he'd get back in form. Despite his moping, I liked his game and off-court he seems like an excellent person.

Form will only carry him so far with those hips and other creaking bones, lamentably.

Misery is done. His body is too broken down now for him to win a big title. If he gets a good draw he could win a couple of rounds in some Challenger event in Scotland.

Maybe Misery could self ID as a woman and demand to play on the WTA tour. He could challenge Osaka, Barty and Serena for Slams.

I feel awful for Andy, but replacement joints are not meant to withstand the stress of athletic competition. And, if you destroy one replacement, they can't always give you another one.

He needs to hang it up and just enjoy his life. Why risk permanent long term pain and degradation of life?

Bizarre scenes at the final of Conception (Chile) challenger

Pella tested positive to Covid and is withdrawn from Córdoba Open

I didn't realize Murray was so hot when he was younger. Unfortunately all the brits age like milk.

R117 = Kevin Spacey. Kevin, I think you are barking up the wrong tree here. Misery is a married breeder with a creepy mom who monitors his every move. Even during sex she is by his bed shouting encouragement and sending hand signals.

Misery had (has?) a rockin' bod. Those legs, OMG.

I envy Kim S for getting to bang that.

Kim Sears and Kevin Spacey have the same initials but only one of them got banged by Misery.

He actually looks well tanned at R117. I expected him to turn red as a lobster.

The Djokovic Medvedev final attracted an audience of 1.17m which was the lowest rating night time men's final ever & the lowest men's final since 2003

Hahahahahaha

ANDY MURRAY: NEXT GEN 'NOT PARTICULARLY CLOSE' TO TOPPLING NOVAK DJOKOVIC, RAFAEL NADAL AND FEDERER

Andy Murray is set to make his return to the full ATP tour for the first time this year in Montpellier where he faces world number 83 Egor Gerasimov in the opening round of an ATP 250 event. He was asked to give his thoughts on the Australian Open. The Scot explained how far off he thinks the next generation of tennis stars are to the likes of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

Former British number one Andy Murray does not think the next generation of tennis players are "particularly close" to challenging the likes of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer for Grand Slam titles....

"I saw before the final Medvedev said something along the lines of Novak having immense pressure on him, which is true but those guys have been at the top of the game. They've been dealing with immense pressure their whole careers and they know how to deal with it and perform at their best level when it matters.

Don't forget Andy's big Scottish dick. Love him.

I was thinking whatever happened to Lucas Pouille and I see he also plays tomorrow in Montpellier.

Poohey.

Gerasimov does well indoors so Murray could have trouble there

R127 Gerasimov only won a game against Karatsev in Australia. Unless he improved a lot even this subpar Murray should win against him

R125 Pouille already lost against Bonzi

R128 Gerasimov is an indoors specialist as he showed today. The match would have gone differently had it been outside

Is he indoor specialist?

Isn't Andy setting himself up for lifelong pain by continuing to compete on a replaced hip? Just in terms of quality of life.

What do we think about Tennis Channel's Steve Weissman? Here's a new pic, he looks fit and has a big bulge. But I cannot stand his bro-voiced intros to Tennis Channel Live.

It's worth noting that under 850,000 people watched Wokey-san win her title, so ratings have tanked all over the place. It's hard to know if the schedule change, the uncompelling matches or a combination thereof caused it.

[quote] uncompelling matches

You must be referring to the men’s final.

Who are Ben and Courtney? Courtney Cocks? What does she have to do with tennis?

Ben and Courtney are sports journalists that cover tennis.

R113, “Wokey-san”? Nice. You must be a pleasure to be around. Friends with the UCLA runner, no doubt

Danielle Rose Collins upsets Barty in straight sets!

Barty's pulled out of Qatar with a left leg injury.

[quote] Danielle Rose Collins upsets Barty in straight sets!

So much winning!

R133 People keep gushing to the big 3 but big 3 don't bring new fans anymore. Atp need new champions and better if they are charismatic.

I'm pretty sure people will love a big 3 member winning a GS if there wasn't just like what happen at every GS. It's totally predictable and boring.

But next gen are more worried about getting new followers on social media. To be honest i wouldn't be surprised if the generation between 96-00 never reign over the atp. If the big 3 keep winning they will probably be replaced by younger players

Federer has reached exactly one GS final since he won the 2018 AO. He can't legitimately still be considered a factor. Thiem's been in four GS finals over the same interim. By 2022 it's likely that we'll see players who were born from '93-'01 dominate. We're already seeing Thiem, Medvedev and Tsitsipas in the top 5, with Rublev and Zverev not far behind. FAA, Shapo and Sinner's games should mature to the point that they're right up there with them by then. Meanwhile Djokovic and Nadal will be closer to 40 than 30, and even they aren't immune to creaking bones and failing synapses even if they're pumped full of PEDs.

R142 I have serious doubts that people like Medvedev or Zverev will have lasting careers, their body types spell serious injury before reaching the 30.

With the exception of Felix, all the hyped players have an age where most great players already won their first GS.

Djokovic and Nadal are great but they are pretty far from their peak and this young players are still unable to challenge them at the best of five sets.

And Roger, well, we'll see if he is a factor or not. He is 39 and he is out of the field for more than a year, i doubt he'll be a factor for a while (with luck he'll be back on track by Wimbledon which will be probably his last chance to win a GS)

I hope you're right about Medvedev and Zverev. I wouldn't lose any sleep over those two plus Djokovic being permanently out of the game.

Stick a fork in Gramps Fed and serve him to Fat Granny Mirka with mushroom sauce. He's done. He's not winning any more Slams.

Shapo practicing shirtless.

[quote] Rublev grabbing and squeezing Feliciano’s massive ass👀

I could see Roger making a strong run at Wimbledon. It's his favorite Slam and best surface. He and the All England Club would love nothing better than for him to go out there in a blaze of glory.

Adelaide: Swiatek dominates Bencic to win her second singles title.

Singapore: Popryin upsets Cilic to reach the final. I think Cilic is done as a contender for big titles. He seems have hit a wall both game-wise and physically the last 2 years.

R148, he would need a very good ("fixed") draw for that to happen. All the big servers capable of outserving him on a good day would need to be in the other side of the draw and Djoko would need to lose early. Djoko has a perfect 3-0 record against him in Wimbledon finals and Gramps could not close him out even with two match points on his own serve in the 2019 final.

I think Gramps Fed's says of winning 7 best of 5 matches in a row are over. If PEDal overtakes him with his 21st Slam win at RG, Gramps will become desperate to claw back into the lead and that will put immense pressure on him.

R150 Not that much. Unlike Nadal or Djokovic who are not really real grass court players (without the slow down of the Wimbledon court the story would be very different) Federer is a real grass court player so he is way less vulnerable on the first rounds were the grass is not deteriorated and the court is way faster.

So no, he doesn't need a rigged draw to get deep in the draw if he is healthy and in good form.

His problem is that he seems to have problems keeping the focus on the match, so he plays great for a while and pretty bad after that, and that always means defeat if you face a very good player.

Nadal is having some problems closing tight matches now, something that didn't happened in the past (he used to win all his tight matches but not anymore). Keep focused is more and more difficult when you get older

What is RodDick's "wife" Bronx up to these days? Does xhe still have an eating disorder? Is Pete Samprass still married to his bimbo hooker who was pretending to be an "actress"?

Swiatek defeated Bencic in the final. Very easy run for her in this tournament

swiatek' nose looks like penis

Popyrin reminds me a bit of Rafa.

Is Popyrin white?

next week's draws for all 4 tournaments are out. Men's Rotterdam and women's Doha are loaded

Singapore final is Popyrin vs. Bublik. Someone is going to win his first title

R156 he's Russian

This is hilarious.

R158 Do you think Stan got fucked by all of them?

[quote] Do you think Stan got fucked by all of them?

Why would Stan be the one being fucked?

Bublik

Singapore: Popyrin def. Bublik 4-6 6-0 6-2 for his first title

Bublik continues to be a headcase despite being the older, more experienced player. Popyrin was definitely the more composed of the 2

funny-Bublik translates to bagel and he got one in this match

a hug at the net between Pop and Bub

R157 He is australian and lived his childhood and trained in Spain (like De Miñaus with the difference that Alex is spanish too)

Popyrin play style reminds me a bit of Lendl.

Upon finding out about his reduction in appearance fee Nadal withdraws from Rotterdam. He did the same in Acapulco. Here he is with his best friend.

Celebrating in Rome. They're not gay, they're Italian.

Shapo!

Did any of you watch Safin regularly back in the day? Did your pussy get wet whenever he was on screen?

R164 his parents are Russian and he's of Russian heritage. Yes he grew up in Australia and spent time in Spain. He now trains at the Mourataglou Academy in Paris

I wish Shapo would wear better fitting shorts. He's always swimming in the ones he wears now.

R171 = the ghost of Vitas Gerulaitis.

R170 The Mouratoglou Academy is in Biot. It's nowhere near Paris.

Montpellier: Goffin def. RBA 5-7 6-4 6-2 for his 5th singles title

Does Stan top Gramps Fed when they fuck? Gramps seems like a prissy bossy bottom.

R175 look at 1:37

How Stan changed, anyway

Gilles Simon is taking a mental break from the tour

wow in his debut on the ATP, 19 year old #335 Juan Manuel Cerundolo def. Ramos-Vinolas 6-0 2-6 6-2 for his first title.

I don't think too many players have done that before

My deplorable family loves Jodie Foster but they don't view her as a crazy lesbian liberal. They all view her as an actress they know that deserves respect. They don't see her as a crazy liberal even if she is

R180, are they on Foster team?

Wrong thread R180

Nice to see our Elfin Belgian with the Montpellier title. He lost the first set to Robby Bats but really steadied the ship in sets 2 and 3.

Juan Manuel Cerundolo wins Cordoba tournament defeating Albert Ramos-Vinolas in the final

Lajovic/Wawrinka v Khachanov/Rublev is pretty entertaining, if rather one-sided so far.

Cerundolo was supposed to be the less talented brother.

He lacks power and i don't think his game translates in good results outside of clay but he is a very clever player.

By the way, Felix just lost to Nishikori. I'm starting to think that Felix rising was too fast for his own good

In Doha, on the heels of her AO finalist appearance, Brady gets crushed by Kontaveit 1-6 2-6 lol

Ostapenko swatts Bertens 6-0 6-2

Azarenka eases by Kuznetsova 6-2 6-3

R187 Have you ever heard Kontaveit speak English? She sounds like she's fresh out of a very posh English boarding school.

Catching up on Rotterdam. I’ve decided there’s something kind of sexy about John Millman. I like that his body language is almost ladylike/dainty.

Um, can anyone explain Robin Haase’s knee sock look? No grown man looks good in knee socks. Really unfortunate. Nice to see Misery turn around his 3-setter with RH though. He’s beginning to show us how much he wants to compete - I’m happy to have him back.

How good is Misery's form? Does he have any hope of even returning to 50% of his "Not Big Three But Definitely Middle Tier" form from his Slam winning years?

waw has new beard?

R188 That's why we call her "Cuntaveit" behind her back.

In Rotterdam there’s a good eye candy match, at least for me, with Stan Wawrinka against Karen Hemsworth. The battle of the pockmarked skin vs. the flawless skin of K. Hemsworth.

Stan is amazing at times, but it is not enough. He is not consistent. He never was.

Apparently there's a (British) player called Ryan Peniston

Facundo Diaz Acosta is cute. Gave Munar a match at least.

I can’t decide between TennisTV and Tennis Channel +. Does anyone have +? Are they keeping the best matches for Tennis Channel.

I don’t want to get stuck with a year if it’s shit...

R189 Ugo Humbert used to be very fond of knee socks

Doha:

Keys starts her season with a 6-4 6-1 win over Bencic

Billionaire heiress Pegula makes quick work of Q. Wang

Wednesday has a bunch of good matchups

Holger Rune is making his atp debut. He is defeating Albert Ramos 62 20 right now. Given than Ramos lost against Alcaraz last year he must hate teens right now

R200 and he just lost the Cordoba final against 19 year old Cerundolo who also made his main draw debut lol

Well, a medical timeout did wonders for Ramos, he won the second set so maybe he'll survive to another teenage debacle

Bouchard starts her year with a straight set loss to Sasnovich in Lyon

[quote] Bouchard starts her year with a straight set loss to Sasnovich in Lyon

In the final right?

That girl in Stan's box is GF. lol

[quote] Cerundolo was supposed to be the less talented brother. He lacks power and i don't think his game translates in good results outside of clay but he is a very clever player.

Is Cerundolo clay specialist?

Does anyone have any dirt about Milos Ranic or whatever his name is? A friend of mine is obsessed. I wanted to get her a signed photo as a surprise, but it is literally impossible to get in touch with him.

Pencil at R204, does Chrissy use you to dial the phone? Have you ever been used for pleasuring herself when she is horny and can't find a man?

R205 got a pic? Who is she ?

R209 Dunno. It was a very short clip like 2 seconds. A girl with very white skin

R186, FAA injured his knee in his match against Nishikori. At least present the facts in your ongoing "Felix too much, too soon" narrative.

You can find him in a dark corner of a pig sty in the Twilight Zone.

Tennis Fans the World Over, please, come hither and sit down, as I have some difficult news to share with you all.

I think it best that I just say it quickly and let you work through your grief in your own way ....

... the Rogers Cup has a new moniker ....

[quote] ... the Rogers Cup has a new moniker ....

Noooooooooooooo!

National Cup by Rogers doesn’t have the same ring to it and doesn’t have the double entendre possibilities.

It shall be called "The National Bank Open presented by Rogers".

Geez-Louise! Can we not just get it back to "The Canadian Open"

Gaygor in full bloom.

I agree, R216. What's wrong with just calling it the Canadian Open?

R217 be still my heart.

R217 he is gay?

R220 There have been rumours about him for years, though I suspect they're just cos he's good-looking and kissed a French player on court once. He's going out with some oligarch's daughter or something.

Medvedev just bounced out by handsome clean cut lajovic in straight sets!

damn, if chardy didn't look handsome yesterday in his match... he, krachanov, andujar, lajovic, berretinni and who else are the top 10 handsomest players on the tour..

I bet Grigor is a gentle, thoughtful lover.

He has a black heart!

Szarapova and serena , what a mix

[quote]krachanov

LOL!

R223 what you mean by that?

Medvedev put too much pressure on himself. He knew coming in this week that had he reached the final, he'd become #2 finally breaking up the big 3 lock on that spot. Hewitt was the last player outside the big 3 ranked #2 all the way back in 2005

this Muguruza Sabalenka match is quite good. Hope some of you are watching or catch highlights later

The newest variation in the ATP ranking system reaches new highs in convolution.

R206 Yes, he is, in fact i have serious trouble to see how he is going to make his style work on faster surfaces

R230 It's starting to look ridiculous (specially because it seems designed to work in Federer's favour).

It's time to cut the crap and start to lose points because the ranking right now doesn't show the real level in quite some time

ha I see Bublik bounced Zverev out of Rotterdam

go bagel boy!

R211 That doesn't change anything because obviously i was not talking just about that match. Felix went from outside of top 100 to the top 20 in barely six months, after that his progression stopped and he showed serious mental blocks on big moments and sometimes a bad attitude on court (his match against Shapovalov on the US Open was atrocious and he seemed to not care at all).

What i said is that maybe a less explossive break into the top 20 would be better for him. And frankly i don't think he'll be as big as he was promoted when he appeared, he has the physical and the groundstrokes but he lacks a lot of things right now to be a great player, of course he'll improve, but the fact that he lowered his level in all his seven finals is not a good sgin

[quote] ha I see Bublik bounced Zverev out of Rotterdam

A. Zverev?

I'm looking forward to catching up on today's matches. The lineup had lots of eye candy.

The Tsitsipas / Gerasimov was fun to watch. Lots of booty-shaking and grunting (and great tennis)

Rotterdam highlights starting with Tsitsipas / Gerasimov

The Tsitisi brothers also won their doubles match

It’s doubles match.

Clijsters has been given a WC into Miami.

R234, time will tell. My only point was that if you're going to note a player's loss and the player was injured during the match, it's relevant to note that the player was injured.

Mirjana Lucic-Baroni recently had a BABY! She's almost 39, but still dreams of a comeback

[quote] Serena Williams and daughter Olympia star in Stuart Weitzman ad

Interesting. I didn’t even know she had a daughter.

That "joke" was looooooong ago played out, R243. Olympia is cute.

r244 Black celebs must not be criticized or made fun of.

That isn't it at all, R244. It just isn't funny. Literally. It's like wandering around still saying "whazzzzzup?!" or "where's the beef?"

Tsitsyass

DL fave Garin starting 2021 off in a slump. He lost to the talented but journeyman Nagal today

Federer will return next week in Doha!

Is he journeyman?

Grigor is old and washed up now. He was beautiful in his early 20s. Borna has replaced him as the new DL fav.

r23 sweet, unselfish, passionate and tries hard to make you cum without tearing your hole up like worthless slut. Lots of kissing and caressing.

^R223

Is DL fave Cames Jourier a bottom?

lmao Tennis Tv made this sarcastic lowlight reel of Medvedev's very odd behavior today in his loss. The racket breaking wasn't the weird part btw.

Some people in the comments were mad that they didn't just make highlights of Lajovic's good play instead

Sorry for the Daily Mail link but British player Marcus Willis has finally retired. You may remember him from Wimbledon 2016 when he reached the second round and pulled off the shot of the tournament against Federer.

Medvedev would make a good Raskolnikov.

British "ace" Marcus Willis? Most tennis fans probably have never even heard of him. Is the Mail being cunty in its headline again?

Willis never took tennis too seriously. In wimbledon 2016 qualification he eliminated Rublev and Medvedev in his run to the main draw

R257 He was very, very briefly front page news in the UK. We do love our underdogs.

did you know that in federers car they found cocaine?

R260 that would only make me like him more

It was baking powder! Mirka loves to bake!

Gramps isn't aging well.

R263 He is aging well, he never was goodlooking to start with.
