The Gays and Tennis: Part 100 fall season

Sinner is really effective at finals.

I'm pretty sure next year he'll be a contender, he is not there yet but he'll be.

Alcaraz will be seeded at Indian Wells, that was faster than i was expected but he did a good US Open, without the frozen ranking he'll be number 21.

Ruud reached his first hard court final. He really deserves to reach the nitto finals. I suppose it'll be between him, Sinner, Felix and Hurkacz

yay the 100th thread!

💯 is a nice number. 👍

Our luck it will be subscriber only within a day…

sorry for the delay but I was unable to make new threads for a few weeks after this site was worked on or updated or whatever they were doing

Chicago: Muguruza def. Jabeur 3-6 6-3 6-0 for her 9th singles title

Garbine looks so elated

[quote]Will new tennis sweetheart and DL icon Leylah Fernandez be gracing Indian Wells?

Looks like she will

wow! The FBI is going to be at this year's IW tournament to monitor and address any instances of social media abuse that players receive.

Haha we're all about to be arrested! /runs

San Diego: Ruud def. Norrie 6-0 6-2 it's Ruud's 6th singles title, 5th of the year and 1st on hardcourt (the rest are all clay). All 6 of Ruud's titles are at the 250 level

Norrie now falls to 1-5 in singles finals and 1-4 this year.

Ruud is doing so well. Take that Kyrgios.

Atp is going to investigate Zverev. By the way, Seyboth Wild was accussed of abuse by an ex too

finally they're at least looking into it

women's draw is out

not too many interesting first rounds but here are some:

Siniakova vs. WC Clijsters with the winner to face Kerber

Stephens vs. Watson with winner to face Pegula

Keys vs. Kanepi with winner to face Pavlyuchenkova

numerous potentially interesting second round matches

She is smiling with a huge herpes sore on her lip. so fucking gross.

Carlos Alcartz may face misery in the second round

Misery will face Gaydrian in the first round.

I think Nadal And Gaydrian are the only two gay players in ATP top 100

interesting first rounds in the men's draw:

Pospisil vs. Wolf with winner to face Shapovalov

Paire vs. Tiafoe with winner to face Korda

Lopez vs. Paul

Murray vs. Mannarino with winner to face Alcaraz

a bunch of potentially interesting second rounds

Random thought: last time Indian Wells was played, Roger Federer led the men’s Grand Slam Race 20-17(Nadal)-15.(Nole)

is this the first IW event without the big 3 since the big 3 were a thing?

Who cares since this is the first IW with the only big One that counts.

Looks like Musetti got a haircut

Why Noah Rubin did not get wild card in IW qualifying?

R19 Thank god, the last one was hideous, maybe is a sign the he recovered after the break up with his girlfriend (for someone who said not so long ago he didn't have time to get a girlfriend her really rushed to have one and break up with her)

God, how did Sloan Stephens ever win a major? Her match with Watson is a festival of unforced errors and terrible serving. It’s embarrassing to watch.

Hope Lay Low Fernandez flops and loses in the second round. Can't stand this obnoxious Canuck brat.

For someone with such a big forehand Sloane is quite passive. Also she rolls a majority of 1st serves in when she is capable of making bigger serves.

Is Watson lez adjacent?

R22 it's all mental with her. When she plays well she can beat anyone but too often she's just not confident or focused. She has the game to hit harder but often chooses not to

Former doubles partners FAA and Shapo face each other in IW's doubles first round, Felix with Hubie now and Denis with Bopanna.

Day 1 notable results:

Stephens def. Watson 6(5)-7 7-5 6-1 and sets up 2nd rd match against Pegula

Keys def. Kanepi 6-0 7-5 Keys ends a 6 match losing streak with this win and sets up 2nd rd match against Pavlyuchenkova

Putintseva def. Petkovic 7-6(2) 6-1

Cornet def. Ruse 6-3 7-6(5) and sets up 2nd rd match against Fernandez

Hsieh def. Brengle 6-1 7-6(4) and sets up 2nd rd match against Ostapenko

Rogers def. Kalinina 7-6(2) 6-2 and sets up 2nd rd match against Bencic

Is the Incredible Hulk butch chick playing at Indian Wells?

No.

antivaxxer Sabalenka tested positive for covid so she's not playing Indian Wells

Anyone know how Sabalenka is faring?

Murray lost his wedding ring.

DL Fave Maxime Cressy has qualified for his 1st Indian Wells main draw

Pretty interesting interview with Opelka. He thinks Chris Fowler sucks and Indian Wells is his least favorite tournament

Thank you, R36. That was a very interesting read. It makes me appreciate Opelka all the more. I'd love to hear his commentary on TV. I love Mary Carillo, too. I think they'd be a great combo once his playing days are through or when he has time now. Won't happen, but it would be a great tandem, IMHO.

what a fucking idiot! Dumb Andy!

Great interview r36. Thanks! 👍🏻

When Leylah's tennis career starts to fade, perhaps she can rent her forehead out as a backboard.

[quote] perhaps she can rent her forehead out as a backboard.

I’ll do the same with my ass.

Sascha

R42 Sasha is hot

Someone actually loves Mary Carillo’s TV commentary? I’d rather listen to literally anyone else. All Mary does is chuckle at her own dumb jokes.

Count me among those who would much rather listen to Mary Carillo over Chris Fowler. She's the Rachel Maddow of tennis commentators--forthright, upbeat, frank, well versed, and with a vein of humor not to everyone's liking. If you don't like Mary, then I bet you don't like Rachel either.

I realised tennis commentary( specially American tennis commentary) has gone to the dogs, ever since Marion Bartoli seems to be a better tennis commentator.

These days I would rather listen to generic tennis commentators like Tim Henman Mark Wodford, Todd Woodbridge, Barbara Schett etc than any American tennis commentators .

Only American I can listen to is boring ass Chanda Rubin simply because she is not insane.

This was not like that 15- 20 years ago..

R45 you say that like Rachel Maddow is a positive and has a soothing non-alarmist voice. Jesus.

Like I said, R47, you either like them or you don't. I certainly didn't call Maddow soothing or non-alarmist.

The Opelka interview is interesting. Some things I agree with, others no. The American males deserve to be criticized for not producing a slam champ since Roddick. I know it hurts their egos but that's the truth. Players from around the world come to the US to train and use the resources and then some of them become top players. We have some promising guys now but until 1 of them finally gets a slam, they're going to get criticized. Too bad.

Speaking of Rachael Maddow, she had skin cancer! don't forget to check your moles folks!

Look how long the press bashed the British players until Murray won his slams and now this year they finally have Raducanu for the women doing something. German tennis was in shambles after Haas didn't become the next Becker until Kerber went on her run a few years ago. The Aussie men are in a huge drought too. The French men are nowhere to be found and the women haven't done anything since Bartoli retired. The American men just have to deal with it, or even better, win a slam.

[quote] When Leylah's tennis career starts to fade, perhaps she can rent her forehead out as a backboard.

Her arms can be donated to wind farms to generate energy with that obnoxious habit of hers. It'll be fun to watch her lose in the first round at next year's USA Open.

Leylah is also playing doubles with Call me GOAT Coco, they won their first match

Cjlisters looks like a cow.

Siniakova having pork for dinner.

[quote] Siniakova having pork for dinner.

Is she feasting on the porcine Raonic?

they earlier showed a clip of when Clijsters won the 2011 AO. She's easily 20 lbs heavier now

Well isn’t that a surprise. Over the last 10 years she had two kids and retired as a professional athlete. Give her a break and kudos for trying to come back.

R58 it's great for the game that she's trying to come back. At her advanced age though it's critical to be as fit as possible. Especially for someone as prone to injury as Clijsters. She never had a slight build but she could and should definitely get in better shape

[quote] Over the last 10 years she had two kids

She had kids?

I like plucky little Leylah.

Andy found his shoes and ring.

Was the ring on his mother’s dildo?

Publicity stunt

The Cressy / Djere match should really have been played in the nude last night. The tournies really need to start giving the fans what they want.

Misery was full of shit when he did the straight guy thing of claiming his wife would be angry because he lost his ring. Lame publicity stunt, probably engineered by Judy when she was in bed, smoking a cigarette after a furious fuckfest with Misery.

Day 2 notable results:

Davidovich Fokina def. Johnson 6(5)-7 6-3 7-5

Pospisil def. Wolf 6-4 4-6 6-4

Siniakova def. Clijsters 6-1 2-6 6-2

Golubic def. Vondrousova 6-1 4-6 6-3

Tommy Paul is so fucking handsome.

what am I , chopped liver?

I think Call Me CoCo GOAT will be desperate to win IW now and prove that she is better than Emma and the Big Forehead Teletubby.

Yeah why is Coco GOAT not playing with McNally? Did Leylah poison her?

damn, coco is heartless. She dumped McNally to team up with new on the scene Leylah.

McNally had to withdraw from Indian Wells because she's injured. Perhaps Leylah pulled a Tonya Harding

Teletubby Lala would totally do a Tonya Harding to get what she wants. I am surprised she didn't cross the net in the USA Open final, rip Emma's Band Aid off and kick her in the shin.

that andy story makes no sense. who the fuck would leave shoes underneath the car?! esp with a ring on it?

Police involved after Nick Kyrgios’ girlfriend posts ‘naked girl’ picture on Instagram

Tennis star Nick Kyrgios and his on-again-off-again girlfriend Chiara Passari might be off for good after an incident involving police on Thursday.

South Australia police responded to a call about a “verbal argument” at the couple’s medi-hotel in Adelaide, a police spokesperson told the DailyMail.

The incident reportedly occurred after Passari accused Kyrgios of cheating on her. She shared a photo to Instagram that appeared to show him in bed with a “naked girl.”

Passari, whose Instagram is now private, captioned the photo, “That girl naked in bed with him isn’t me by the way. Hope that clears it up.”

Passari was seemingly prompted to share the photo when she did an Instagram Q&A with fans and was asked, “What happened that fateful night at 161 nightclub?”

The fan question derived from a situation in February, when Kyrgios allegedly partied at nightclub OneSixOne in Melbourne until the early hours of the morning following the Australian Open.

In text exchanges on Thursday, published by News.com.au, Kyrgios and Passari continued a furious back-and-forth after police had arrived. According to the messages, also shared on Instagram Stories by Passari, the pair agreed to no longer live together.

The severity of the argument is unclear, but police said that “an investigation was conducted, no offenses were disclosed.”

The tennis player and model returned to Australia this week, and retreated to the hotel to isolate together.

According to police, Kyrgios and Passari will “now spend the remainder of their quarantine in separate rooms.”

Kyrgios and Passari, who began dating in July 2020, have been the subject of breakup rumors on a number of occasions prior to the incident.

Bleh, I want to be a Canadian tennis fan, but shut off the Pospisil match last night... his behaviour is almost a parody of Novak's. Bye bitch.

He wants to be Nole, Jr.

[quote]His behaviour is almost a parody of Novak's

Here's some footage:

lol Kyrgios giving us the drama

My gosh Popsy; how very very unCanadian-like!

Pops

then he briefly debated with the umpire acting like he shouldn't get fined. Pospisil has showed us over the past few years he's an entitled jackass. Being an ally of Djokovic's has really gone to his head despite never having won even a small singles title. What a turnoff. I always root against him these days

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R84 I thought for sure this was going to be Darren Cahill's job. I was way off.

[quote]Pospisil def. Wolf 6-4 4-6 6-4

Does JJ Wolf have a Baywatch body with a Crimewatch face?

Is that an actual mullet at R86?

It is indeed R87

Thank you, R88.

omg I hate Rodriguez. Obviously a great coach but he was 1 of the WTA's supervillains during the early 2000s

Carlos is way better coach than that loon Darren Cahill

Yes, Cahil was good a while ago when he use to coach Hewitt.

But in last few years he has gone insane just like Dani V. Halep made a good decision by getting rid of him

Good decision by Team Emma. Having said that I don't think Emma has necessary talent to be on top. Carlos has worked with that loon Lara Robson. And she had some decent results under his supervision.

But ultimately you can not fix crazy.

Madison Keys collapse is complete

Kyrgios is faithfully following in Tomic's Bogan footsteps. Now that the shoe's on the other foot, some up-and-comer should give Kyrgios a taste of the same medicine that he gave to Wawrinka. It'd be great if it happened at the '22 Australian Open. I nominate Moutet for the left-handed shout-out.

I could totally see that saggy-boobed gone Leylah whacking someone in the knee.

^saggy-boobed gnome, dammit!^

Guh-nome

r91 Do tell... why do you think Darren Cahill is a loon?

I saw Nick K's ex gf's insta stores before she locked her account. Someone asked if Nick was abusive in real life like on court and she said he's exactly the same off the court.

She said his excuses were really stupid. Like he was away somewhere and got a hickie on his neck, he would say that one of his mates gave it to him.

I can't remember the other excuses she claimed he'd use but they sounded really pathetic to me.

She had quit her job and moved out of her apt to travel with him but he'd call her a lazy bum.

She is so stupid for being with him for 2 years.

[quote] he would say that one of his mates gave it to him

Let’s speculate. Shapo? He’d be dumb enough to agree to go along with that excuse.

I could see Nick giving Andy a hickey…

he obviously fucked the girl in the picture who was naked. But the excuse he told her was that he was wasted and fell asleep, the girl got naked and took the picture etc and then left. of course he fucked the girl, this girl must be desperate or has very low self esteem to believe the shit that comes out of his mouth.

Omg Raducanu out at Indian Wells!

[quote] I could see Nick giving Andy a hickey…

Misery or Roddick?

I'm still trying to figure what she did so well at the US Open. She just had a dream draw work out for her. Even that tear your eyes out crazy energy of that Canadian girl showed more guile this first just kept winning without a lot of impressive play or wins.

Misery of course! Nick worships him.

And like Icarus, Emma crashes to earth.

WTA is a fucking joke.

Jack Sock looks like an overweight frog. Please spend more camera time on Nacho Forcadell who has a fucking adorable smile when clean shaven.

All those accounts that changed their entire layout to an Emma Raducanu stan account changing back to their old layout after losing to world number 100:

Fernandez def. Cornet 6-2 6-3

I’m thinking I backed the wrong horse when I picked Raducanu over Fernandez at the USO. Watching IW tonight Emma just collapsed and I found Leylah actually kind of charming and I loved her intensity. Maybe she’ll actually end up being the breakout.

Will the Brit tabloids and the media tear into Emma when she starts losing? Is she going to be the new Iva Majoli who comes out of nowhere, wins a major to shock everyone and then sinks into obscurity again?

Pity the fugly Canuck troll with the forehead didn't similarly crash out. How is the iconic superstar and tennis legend, the Hall of Famer CoCo GOAT faring?

WTA is such a joke that an overweight Serena could stop playing mommy for a week, pick up a racket and still win these tournaments. Very compelling. Truly peak WITA.

Raducanu: "I'm still very, very new to the tour. Experience just comes from playing week in, week out and experiencing all these different things. Kind of glad what happened today happened so I can learn, take it as a lesson, so going forward I'll have more experienced banked."

I wish Granny Kimmy Clijsters had somehow won this tournament in spite of being 100 lbs overweight. It woulda been compelling.

R110 Rune had a not easy but not difficult path, a good result could put him on route to top 100.

This was a big faliure, Escobedo is talented but irregular, and it was a very easy match for him

R117 Iva Majoli was a top 10 player for quite some time when she won Roland Garros. It was a big surprise because HIngis was the big favourite, but Majoli was a top player (she reached the quarterfinals with 15 years old). She never reached a semifinal again on a GS, similar to Myskina

It's a shame Queen Emma lost, but it's probably not a bad thing. If she won again and again she'd start resting on her laurels.

Leylah Fernandez is probably grinning like a smug Cheshire cat right now.

Fiona Ferro in Mannarino's box

You know what they say " There is a woman for every man"

In his box? With a strap-on?

Mannarino is definitely hot. So many of the hot guys lost yesterday.

Think this is the same mistake Osaka is making. Raducanu has been doing way too many other things. Met Gala, Bond premiere, meeting the Duchess of Cambridge, various media commitments when she should have spent a bunch of that time learning about Indian Wells (it's different to the US Open - slower surface, different air), practicing, and about her opponent. She seemed almost caught off or rusty, deploying the wrong tactics. A good coach should prepare her better than this.

Get used to me winning gays!

Explanations please about why we think Killer Cahill is crazy and Holger Rune is homophobic.

R128, ATP is investigating rising star for yelling gay slurs during a match

During the semifinals of the Biella Challenger in Italy, Rune screamed the word “faggot” multiple times: once after his opponent hit the ball out of bounds, and then again after the winning point.

When one of Tomas Martin Etcheverry’s returns sailed over the white lines, Rune yelled “you are a pussy player!” and “you are playing like a faggot ass!” Later, he shouted “Allez, faggot!” (“Allez” is translated to “go” in English.)

The video is below. The first sequence of slurs comes at the 27-second mark.

ATP confirmed Monday it’s launching an investigation into the incident.

“ATP is committed to ensuring an inclusive environment for all players, staff and fans, and there is absolutely no room for homophobic remarks in tennis,” the organization said in a statement, via Tennis Tonic.

Rune, 18, made his ATP debut earlier this year. He’s already clinched two titles, including last weekend’s Biella Challenger.

On Sunday, Rune issued an apology on Instagram for his language. He doesn’t deny he used the slurs, but contends he was directing them at himself — otherwise known as the Justin Thomas defense.

Later, Rune made alterations to his apology. Tennis podcaster James Rogers captured a screenshot of the original statement. He told Outsports he took the picture at around 12:00 p.m. EST on Sunday.

The edited apology is more concise. “I want to take the opportunity to apologise if I offended anyone for using some bad wording to myself in my semifinal yesterday during some tough points,” Rune’s post now reads. “I am sorry for that and this will of course not happen again.”

That’s not all Rune has said on the matter, however. When the creator of a fan site reached out on Twitter, he pledged his love of diversity.

Rune has also been active in the comment section of his apology, affirming he wasn’t directing homophobic taunts towards his opponent.

Rune’s mother issued her own statement. In it, she criticized the media for its coverage of the story. “DO NOT harass Holger for a wrong comment,” she wrote.

As Rune’s mom contends, we’ve all said regrettable words in our teenage years. Rune is just 18 years old and wasn’t apologizing in his native language. If I apologized in another language, I’m sure I would be cleaning up my statements as well.

But Rune isn’t just any 18 year old: he’s a professional tennis player. That means his mistakes occur in the public eye, and thus, his offensive remarks can’t just be dismissed. They contribute to the culture of casual homophobia that pervades men’s tennis and other sports.

Gay Dartmouth tennis player John Speicher wrote about the lack of LGBTQ representation in the sport’s professional ranks in his coming-out essay. A pro player appearing to yell “faggot” on the court multiple times doesn’t help matters.

“The individual nature of professional tennis makes it particularly challenging for players to come out,” Speicher writes. “No one wants to be vulnerable and feel like they’re displaying any sort of weakness to the competition and you have no teammates to confide in.”

As we’ve written before, it doesn’t matter whether athletes are showing their opponents with gay slurs, or saving them for themselves. The fact is, they’re still far too common.

Rune says he supports the LGBTQ community and embraces diversity. This is a case where future actions will speak louder than an Instagram post.

Lay to the Low to the.... Yo, Big Ass Forehead and Saggy Tittays, don't count your chickens yet, bitch. This tournament has CoCo GOAT's name all over it.

I think you need to go clean some toilets or do some dishes or look after some kids because that's what you're gonna end up doing in two or three years, ho.

Andy Roddick is decidedly not a fan of Shapo's on-court, post-match rap the anniversary of which was being "celebrated" on Tennis Channel today.

R127 You rule, queen Leylah

are the Bryan brothers now a part of Tennis Channel? Or they're just guest commentating for Indian Wells since they're Cali natives?

R129 To be fair with Rune, he dealt with the incident quite well, the apology was pr standard but he answered questions online and take the blame.

And that's something you can say about her mother and Moratoglou (he trains at his academy) who blamed the press who went after therir precious child for no reason.

Unlike Fognini incident, who was clearly insulting himself (Fabio had a fame of being a hothead and he had a very particular way to make amends) in Rune's case the impression was he was insulting his rival which made the thing way worse.

He is a kid but his behaviour on court is not exactly desirable. I think it was fucsovics who complained about Alcaraz being too efussive on his celebrations but that's all you can complain about him, on the other hand Rune is from Zverev, Medvedev, Tsitsipas shool and he screams, argues with the chairman, smash raquets and all that jazz. I think they are not concious that really looks bad on them and gives credibility of any bad behaviour off court reported, but in Rune's case there's the excuse that he is new and very young so maybe he'll improve in the future.

I think he is one (if not the one) atp is more invested, there were a lot of articles about him even before he really was even at challenger level and he is the king of wc. Now it's clear that he has merits to receive them but that was not the case in the past. Of course he is way ahead of all his competition born in 2003 (with the exception of Alcaraz, of course), the next players of that age are Mochizuki and Nardi and they are not on the top 400 yet

[quote] are the Bryan brothers now a part of Tennis Channel?

Yes. This week was their debut.

Tennis Channel has added a lot of people over the last couple years. I wonder who got fired other than scandal-ridden Gimmelstob. I think Davenport's friend Corina Morariu seems to have gotten the pink slip as I haven't heard or seen her for a while.

I would gladly take Ginger Daddy Cames off Young Grigor's hands if he is tired of him. I find Daddy Cames quite sexy even if he is no longer as athletic as he was in this pic from his playing days.

Interesting interview with Opelka. I will say one name. Chris Fowler tweeted about Carlos Alcaraz, the youngest man to make a Slam quarterfinal. He tweeted, “What a shame that he threw in the towel, hope that this isn’t a pattern.” That was pathetic.

But Alcaraz is just 18, he plays in the shadow of Rafa and he was balling in New York and had a great run.

I tweeted back at Fowler saying, “After everything Carlos showed us this week, you’re really going to question his courage?” That’s one take that’s terrible. This guy is on ESPN, he does college football, he shouldn’t work another tennis match. It hurts the sport because ESPN has a lot of guys who are following football or don’t know Carlos Alcaraz…and don’t know anything about tennis and they’re like, “This young kid just completely just walked off the court, what an idiot, what a jackass.” That just can’t happen. If I’m commissioner of tennis, that’s one offense too much.

I like Opelka calling out Fowler, but the rest of the interview was Douche 101. Wahhh! I play a sport and people expect me to win! Wahhh!

Heh I wonder if Pops hurt his back with the racquet smashing tantrum he threw in the last match. Was definitely team ShapaThaRappa for that one (god wasn't he embarrassed enough the last time?)

Bianca doesn't look fat at all to me, don't know what some idiots are talking about (and I'm usually pretty into weight-shaming).

Lehlah(?) is pretty inoffensive to me, she's less noisy than most on the court and has an interesting play style. Radacanu is definitely prettier but, of the two, I think she's less likely to break through - she had a relatively easy run in the USO (final included!) vs L who got past many of the seeds. But time will tell - I don't think one early loss for Radacanu is enough to write her off.

Bianca definitely isnt fat. She is super fit, just not incredibly slim which many athletes arent.

Andreescu has a similar build to Clijsters and Kuznetsova. She could lose a couple pounds though overall she's fit.

Old Clijsters. New Clijsters has the build of Taylor Townsend.

Richard Krajecik was right

Opelka has a face only a mother could love.

Bouchard is back in the booth lol

her voice is really unappealing

Misery's got Young Carlos over his knee and giving him a good old spanking in this first set... so far. I'm getting quite turned on tbh.

My partner hates Genie Bouchard as a player and commentator, but even he acknowledged that she is absolutely gorgeous.

Has Genie scored any good tennis cock?

Where is the Misery/Alcaraz match being shown in the US? On Tennis Channel they're showing Slitolina/Cirstea.

R186, it's on Tennis Channel Plus. Andy just bellowed a few f-bombs, I think.

Thanks, R187.

aww Murray let Genie ride on a private plane with him 5 years ago. At the time they were using the same trainer and had both lost early at the same tournament She just told this story

Is Andy playing the quitter kid?

GEMS Life!

I came here to post the same thing, R191.

oh my. so fucking shameless

Sinner doesn't have a face made for sin. His face is ugly as sin.

On to the third set with Misery and Alcaraz.

Misery team or Alcaraz team?

¿I will beat old, sad white boy no?

Brooksby team or A. Zverev team?

Team Alcarez and Brooksby

Do I think that they will actually win is another story…

Tennis Channel commentary egarding the conditions:

[quote] hot, sticky, demanding

And I thought that was a reference to mum!

I hope Brooksby drives Zverev nuts

[quote] I hope Brooksby drives Zverev nuts

You know what happens when someone drives A. Zverev nuts - he beats them up!

bad loss for FAA to clay courter Ramos-Vinolas

Is he clay specialist?

Wow. Felix! 😮

Flop Ass Assume

Misery wins.

Chris Flower was right

I no beated white boy.

Brooksby coming alive! I want to see a Zverev tantrum

Brooksby and A. Zverev go to a third set.

Brooksby out.

Boobsky is an okay player but I am not getting the hype he has been receiving since Washington ATP 500.

Sasnobitch team or Help team?

I like both of them. These two are one of the few nice ladies on the WTA tour

I wish Vika would win a title again. I love her 'louche-ness'.

[quote] These two are one of the few nice ladies on the WTA tour

Huh?

I like that some of Indian Wells' courtside camera positions are a bit lower than other tournaments. Really shows off the speed and trajectory of the balls way better. I wish more tennis TV coverage was like that.

Martinez is kinda cute

Khachanov def. Ruusuvuori 6-2 7-5

Fernandez def. Pavlyuchenkova 5-7 6-3 6-4

Leylah!!!!!!

LOL Fernandez is a bitch, but she knows how to win, I'll give her that.

R207 Chris Fowler was wrong, he was injured (he even withdraw from Metz).

And none of the big 3 reached the quarterfinals at Alcaraz's age, to be true none of them reached the second week on a GS (to be fair Nadal didn't do it because he was injured that year and he couldn't play Roland Garros)

R212 He doesn't have the most beautiful shots and his scream borders the hindrance, but he has a lot of tricks and he is fearless. He needs to improve his fitness but he is doing extremely well and his progression is one of the most impressives of this year

Our sweet Young Grigor is playing that Sasquach looking American caveman in a classic Beauty and the Beast matchup.

Young Grigor team or Opelka team?

Kont team or Bianca team?

Young Grigor of course

I'm starting to really like The Bryan Brothers as commentators.

Shapo team or Aslan🦁 team?

When does Tommy Paul play again?

R230 he's last on tonight vs Rublev. A real hottie vs nottie match up if there ever was one.

Rain is falling in California!

Palm Springs rain? whoa

Medvedev team or Krajinovic team?

russian asshole

I hate myself for this, but I'm starting to find Medvedev sexy, despite the cheek mole. What's wrong with me?

I know R236. He IS sexy in a kind of nasty way.

Day 6 notable results:

Paul upsets Rublev 6-4 3-6 7-5

Kalinskaya def. Golubic 1-6 6-1 6-3

Kerber def. Kasatkina 6-2 1-6 6-4

Any idea what would be Biance ranking since she will loose IndianWell 2019 points.

Roger will also be out of Top 10 next monday .Hubi will replace him.

r239 She'll lose 1,000 points, so she'll drop to about 41.

Basically all Andreescu has for big points in her ranking now is this year's Miami finalist points. She clearly doesn't like defending titles. She flopped in Canada, USO and IW

Did Svetlana Kutznetsova retire and that is why she isnt playing? I did read that the Victorian Gov has put sports players in the category that they need to be vaxxed to work/play down here in Jan.

After Hubi bageled Federer in the last set at Wimbledon, booting him out of the Top 10 after all these years is really rubbing salt into Miss PrissyPants' wounds! I'm lovin' it!

Gauff really played awful. She doesn't seem to be progressing lately

tommy paul beat Rublev! wow

Who is the least attractive man on tour - Opelka or Daniel Evans?

I’m starting to think it’s Evans.

Opelka's personality and intelligence add charm, whereas Evans is just all around unpleasant. Novaxx and Zverev's scowly emaciation and other personality traits make them equally vile.

Tommy Paul looking pretty in pink

Coco WHO??

To be fair Leylah is showing some real prospect. The normal thing would be crumbling with the pressure after such big result but she is winning matches

R248 He thinks he is Wawrinka?

Leylah's Total Cuntiness is definitely an attribute to progressing on the WTA Tour.

Thiem on vaccine

Bublik is the most unattractive top player.

Why Swiatek didnt drop down, she did not defend her RG title

R255 She made the QF of the RG held last June and those were the points factored against her win at last year's RG. Hence, the drop off was not as steep.

R254 he has an enormous cock though and almost always bulges on the court. We forgive him his facial sins.

JPEG is ripping out Svitolina's wig while Monfils watches on. 6-1 in the first set and Elaine really had to fight for that one game.

Part of Bublik's problem is his douchy personality. A better haircut will help him a lot.

Rublev is a player who looks bad on court but way better when he is with street clothes and he looks pretty good in some pictures

Is Fritz the horny one that knocked up a girlfriend as a teen?

Yes, he is.

I remember the days Raquel Pedraza was one of the best prospects of american tennis. I suppose the pregnancy ended her career (but her good days were in the U14 cathegory so maybe she was not going to be a pro anyway)

yes. R260. but they are all horny.

I remember Fritz's mother playing back in the day. She went deep at some of those ghetto French Opens that Evert/Navratilova didn't bother to attend. Was even a #2 seed at one of them.

It's odd that he's a divorced father at such a young age. I can't think of anything worse, and i'm sure the kid doesn't get to see much of him with him being constantly on the road. At least he comes from $$$$$ though (much like billionaire heiress JPEG).

Swiatek is really making a habit out of these extended bathroom breaks. She pulled this crap at the French when Sakkari was bossing her around the court too.

She's great when routining her opponents like she did to win her RG title, but not such a great problem solver yet when things aren't going her way.

What was the reason for Isner’s walkover.

Isner to be home for his spawn's delivery

Thanks, R266.

Fritz cleaning up Berritini

Did Isner forget his wife was pregnant? Why would you sign up for a tournament when your child is due?

The bathroom break worked and Iga went a break ahead, but she loses her break advantage in set 2 and predictably pulls a tactical MTO. Side eyeing her on this one.

Pegula skulldragged Svitolina 6-1 6-1. Apparently she now equals Barty & Sakkari at the top of the leaderboard for top 10 wins, and is in with a shot to qualify for the championships in Guadalajara.

I think Daddy Fritz is hawt. I was looking for good images of him but I found this, instead.

Daddy Fritz in action

Misery team or A. Zverev team?

Monfils team or Anderson team?

Fog team or Tsitsy team?

Garin team or Minotaur team?

Elaine team!

I find Zverev hotter every time I see him.

Team Anyone This Side Of Satan against StiffAnus BitchyPiss.

Too bad Garin and Minotaur are playing each other as I like both of them and can't stand any of the other six.

Rogers takes down DL villainess Leylah.

Shelby Rogers could bend lil Leylah into a pretzel.

Who is Sasha banging currently? Is the one he beat the same one who bore his love child?

So do we, R274!

German asshole has thinning hair, will be bald in a few years.

Taylor is cute but also dating a bond bimbo like Tommy Paul. That bimbo Tommy is fucking doesn't even speak English. She's from Brazil. You just know they have a facinating relationship!

R 279, at the us open, he said he doesn't have a gf.

The one he beat and baby mama are two different whores.

Greek asshole recently went official with his gf, started featuring her in social media. sweet looking brunette.

So Stef has already started bearding?

BTW Sexy Sasha just defeated miserable misery.

Beautiful Badoda also won

Ons who is ranked 16 th in the world is highest ranked player in IW women's draw

And we have not even finished Rd16

R284 Sounds compelling!

sexy and Sasha don't go together. Nothing sexy about a lanky, bratty woman beater

Aside from the face decomposing into Medusa territory...

Fog wins first set 6-2.

Tsitsy won second set 6-3.

Were any of you on Fog team?

the Tsitsipas-Fognini handshake was funny. I just knew words would be exchanged

Khachanov upsets PCB 6-0 6-4

Fritz upsets Berrettini 6-4 6-3

Sinner def. Isner via walkover

I'm rooting for Ons. She has won the most matches this year on the WTA tour and a big title like this would cement her resume and automatically qualify her for Guadalajara. She also just became the first Arab player ever in the top 10, male or female.

The remaining men are mostly trash, but maybe it would be good for Monfils to finally have his moment (in this desert of a lineup). He's not going to get many more chances. I also like looking at Ruud, Tommy Paul, and Sissypants. And wouldn't mind getting crushed by Aslan's calves.

I hope Shelby has a bodyguard. You just know Leylah will cut a bitch if she gets the chance.

Alison Van Uytvanck and Greet Minnen are taking a break in their relationship. Kind of surprised because in the last few weeks they've won a doubles title together, and Greet was there celebrating with AVU when she won her singles title too.

Is this Margaret Court's sorcery?

Ons team

🦁 team

Kontaveit has been on fire over the last few months when Dimitry Tursunov started coaching her. She’s won two tournaments.

And in the meantime, Sabalenka is home with Covid

Breaking news from Tennis World USA- Rafa has a wife! Even though she's not pictured and didn't go to his 35th birthday party or the hospital with him for his surgery they are legally married and his PR firm doesn't want us to forget it.

Brilliant reporting by TW.

A truly compelling tweet about how “bananas” the depth in the current WTA is.

Hsieh and Mertens defeated DL's favourite duo of bratty teenagers Leylah and Coco in the doubles, despite the overwhelming (and obnoxious) support coming from the teenagers players box.

Hsieh seems like such a sweet person, wearing this dinosaur thing for the physio's birthday. In the full interview she thanks Elise for playing with her this year and being patient with her. With this win, they have officially qualified for the YEC.

How many tantrums did the teens have? This tourney has been a bust for them, especially Coco GOAT

R301 Leylah did a good tournament, she wasn't defeated in the first rounds and she lost in a very tight match. Coco played like crap against Badosa

Fernandez had a few brief, bratty facial expressions at times against Rogers that I couldn't quite figure out. Was her takeaway from their US Open clash that she's too superior to lose to a player like Rogers? Given the praise Shelby had for her in the on-court interview afterward, probably not. I felt surprisingly bad for her as she left the court, though; she looked quietly stunned.

Diego Dwarftzman is gross. He looks like a tall little person.

Round of 16 is decent, but not for a player who carries around the attitude that Fernandez does.

Hurkacz dismantled Karatsev in the first set.

R303, it was Emma who took out Shelby at Open.

I saw a couple of the faces Leylah made in highlights, and I agree it didn't seem as if Leylah was too gracious. I guess I'm adding fuel to the anti-Leylah fire. She didn't seem to want to be too chatty with Shelby after the handshake. Shelby seems to be one heckuva nice gal. I did see Leylah's press conference, or parts of it anyway. Her analysis seemed to be, "I made mistakes and she didn't...." which, IMHO, REALLY isn't great humility.

Why can't she, (and others), after a loss, say, "man, she (or he) totally outplayed me. It wasn't the weather, it wasn't my match from two days ago. It's just that my opponent really clobbered me today, and I was trying so very hard to win!"

[quote] Hurkacz dismantled Karatsev in the first set.

The lion sleeps tonight.

another reason to hate that cunt.

R307, thanks for pointing that out. Can't believe I misremembered something so recent, but it adds to my confusion about why Fernandez seemed to have a bit of an attitude about Rogers.

Coco isn't a brat at all. She shouldn't be lumped in with Fernandez

Medvedev team or young Grigor team?

Fritz team or Sinner team?

Basilashvili team or K. Hemsworth team?

Minotaur team or Tsitsy team?

Monfils team or a A. Zverev team?

Med Team

Daddy Fritz Team

Hawt Karen Team

Demon Team

La Monf Team

Team Nice Guy Norrie is not going to be ignored, Dan!

(A. Forrest)

Is Norrie playing Tommy Paul? That's some eye-candy.

Team Tommy Paul

Team Tommy. Tommy is playing great without the bimbo by his side, she didn't make the trip

[quote]Is Norrie playing Tommy Paul?

Well he was, but their match just ended

Young Grigor leads 2-0 in the third set against Medvedev

Poor Tommy.

He can come sit on my face.

yay Grigor

I can't believe Grigor just took down Med.

$100 sez he loses next round.

Nice win from Dimitrov and his ever-expanding bald spot. Medvedev's racquet abuse was less inspired than usual.

He plays another DL fave Hubie next.

What, R304!? We at DL love 'Lil Diego. We won't stand for any criticism!

Lord ha' mercy, Lil Diego has TINY NIP.

I did not know that until this moment.

I’m sad to see K. Hemsworth out.

Hitler mustache team or Tsitsy team?

Demon all the way.

Taylor Fritz in the QF!

Yay Hubie! Yay Taylor! Yay Dimi!

Come on Demon!!!

ugh I just hope this doesn't mean Zverev is going to win the title

Ostapenko is such a brat.

Day 8 results:

Ostapenko def. Rogers 6-4 4-6 6-3

Hurkacz def. Karatsev 6-1 6-3

.,.,

Daddy Fritz!

Why are we going after Leyla or Emma when Ostapenko is the nastiest WTA player by a mile? She complains about every close call, mutters to herself and her box with hands on hips constantly, and has no respect for her opponents.

Plus, she’s seriously unattractive and always looks like she’s sucking on a grapefruit, which is normally all it takes for us to hate someone.

Even Lindsay called her out on her disrespect for her opponents last night.

We should be rooting for her to get bageled in the next round.

R335 Her sportsmanship is actually abhorrent, she seems like a real scumbag. But I secretly love her pantomime facial expressions lol. I think people give her slack because her game is more flashy and exciting when on (even though 90% of the season it's a huge mess).

*** The nominations have been announced for the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Here are the six names:

Ana Ivanovic

Lisa Raymond

Cara Black

Flávia Pennetta

Juan Carlos Ferrero

Carlos Moya

Who do we think SHOULD get in, and who WILL get in?

Only Raymond for her results in doubles.

Carlos Moya, because...

Generally, only Americans with one slam get in so Panetta, Ivanovic, Moya and Ferrero likely won’t make it.

R336 lots of one slam winners. Better to do it once than not at all but I see many argue that you should be a multi slam winner to get in. I guess Ivanovic cause she was also number 1 and a top 10 player for awhile.

@ R338

that is a fabulous list and that guy has my taste in mins

Norrie team or Lil’ Diego team?

Young Grigor team or Hubie team?

Kont team or Ons team?

Badass team or Kerber team?

Dieguito,

Bald Grigor (but I think Hubie will win),

Badussy over Kerber (but I think the German will be too hard to hit through on these slow courts)

and Jabeur. I like Kontaveit too though and this new partnership with Tursonov. I hope the winner of this match takes the title.

Ivanovic, Moya and Ferrero all got to #1 at least. Ivanovic and Ferrero also reached 2 other slam finals while Moya reached 1.

Pennetta does not belong at all. Her career was like Myskina's. Just 1 fluke slam win, no other finals at all and never close to #1 ranking

I want Hubie to take it. The most bizarre sunshine double ever!

R340 Moyá and Ferrero were number one two and like Ana, they played more GS finals.

The three have the big disadvantage that their peak was pretty short. Ferrero was very good till he got injured and he was never the same

Wow Norrie destroyed lil Diego 60 62

That was a gritty win by Dimitrov, whose breathing continues to look uncomfortable more than a year after his bout with COVID.

Maybe Grigor is a long hauler but he is playing pretty damn good

Lil DIego was destroyed by Norrie.

Norrie kind of goes under the radar because he's not flashy, and doesn't have any great weapons, but he has been seriously impressive this year.

Grigor's 'young' days are definitely over

Day 9 results:

Badosa upsets Kerber 6-4 7-5

Jabeur def. Kontaveit 7-5 6-3

Dimitrov upsets Hurkacz 3-6 6-4 7-6(2)

Norrie upsets Schwartzman 6-0 6-2

Not today Satan

Sock's fat ass.

I’m disappointed in how Kerber and Kontaveit played. Those two matches were theirs for the taking.

R356 Badosa had the control of the match almost all the time

Tsitsipas lost the first set against Basilashvilli.

Zverev is clearly the big favourite of the tournament

Basilashvili team or Tsitsy team?

Fritz team or A. Zverev team?

BasilDoubleFaulty and TaylorsOnTheFritz Teams!

Basil Fawlteamy

Basilashvili keeping up with Titsy so far. Out of curiosity I tried to find out what was going on with Basilashvili's domestic abuse charges but it actually seems like they've been brushed under the carpet?! There is just nothing.

Cheaterpiss down. just Slasher to go! Loving how this tourney's working out!

Daddy Fritz all the way

seems like Raducanu is already feeling the pressure of winning a slam and people hyping her up. It's understandable obviously

she pulled out of Moscow at the last minute today but is not injured. She just said she is making a scheduling change. She does plan on playing in Romania the following week

C'mon Vika! You deserve another title!

Would you assholes lay off Emma? Some of you are acting like if she doesn't win every tournament she enters for the rest of her career she'll be some sort of disappointment. Calm the fuck down and unclench your pearls.

R367 that's a real overreaction to the reporting that she has pulled out of a tournament without citing an injury. No one expects her to win everything but at the same time the British media is putting lots of pressure on her. That isn't healthy but it's what they do.

really pleased that Tsitsipas and Zverev are both out

So now it's Norrie vs. Dimitrov and Basilashvili vs. Fritz

I'd prefer if Fritz or Norrie won just because I want a new Masters winner and Dimitrov does have Cincinnati from a few years ago

Azarenka team or Ostapenko team?

Ons team or Badosa team?

R365 - I hope Răducanu is going to wear adequate protective gear. I am in Romania and the government collapsed about a week and a half ago. The police and army have disappeared. The infection rate is insane, they are at the top of the list in terms of COVID mortality rate in the world. Some places have run out of death certificates and burial ground. It's pretty creepy and we are counting the days until we get out of here. Don't be surprised if her PR people cancel.

Taylor! Shit. I can’t believe it!

R371 government collapsed? what is going on there?

She announced she would be playing and did the video in Romanian. I think she can't pull out of there because it would be a big blow to the Romanian fans who are expecting her (and they can be quite rowdy lol, if anyone has seen any Fed Cup match involving Romania). Honestly she was busy doing other media engagements and enjoying her new fame to prepare properly for Indian Wells, and after such an early exit she has no chance of qualifying for the YEC. I might have just called it a year and come back next year if I were her, obviously her priorities right now have shifted, she has a tonne of deals coming in, and her coaching situation is still up in the air.

This mens SF lineup is looking very WTA-esque! Unseeded Norrie, Basilashvili, plus Grigor and... Taylor Fritz who has been slumping since he choked to Djokovic in Australia?

Ons Team

Azarenka Team

Wow, can't believe the German asshole lost! Good for fritz!!

I think she's been distracted looking for a coach too.

r371 is either a paid Big Pharma shill (like Sir Andy) and/or severely mentally ill. The majority of Romanians are awake and don't want these death jabs. Their choice.

"Some places have run out of death certificates and burial ground." OK... sure mate. We totally believe you!!

It's hard to take Ostapenko seriously when she reminds me so much of the younger brother from "The Adventures of Pete & Pete."

Azarenka wins in three sets, 7-5 in the last set..

Ons team.

I love Vika; shame about the noise.

I don't know why but I've never crushed on Fritz given his looks etc. But now he's my hero, taking out Wifebeater. I'd be ok with him winning this whole thing, though my heart wants Dimitrov.

Would love to see hot Daddy Fritz win on Sunday!

Is Fritz a Trumper/Deplorable.

?

Fritz is from a wealthy background, definitely a trump fan. I'm just guessing.

It's official

Badosa has the hottest bf on tour! His name is Juan is all I know about him. Very handsome and has a nice body. He was in a tank top yesterday

Day 10 results:

Badosa upsets Jabeur 6-3 6-3

Azarenka upsets Ostapenko 3-6 6-3 7-5

Fritz upsets Zverev 4-6 6-3 7-6(3)

Basilashvili upsets Tsitsipas 6-4 2-6 6-4

For the 1st time there will not be Top 25 ranked players in the ATP tour Masters 1000 tournament SFs

I hope this is the beginning of the ATP being wide open. I want the big 3 to play next year but still lose

[quote]Badosa has the hottest bf on tour! His name is Juan is all I know about him.

Juan Betancourt, he's a model

ah interesting, since Badosa's parents were models too.

Receipts, R384.

Otherwise you're a rancid cunt.

....

After years of struggling with the pressure Badosa she seems to be reaching her best form, i hope it happens the same with Rebeka Masarova (now spanish former swiss) who has a similar story and this year made the top 200 after starting the year outside top 700.

It's good there are some surprises but i don't want the atp to become the wta

R391 Proof that women are as superficial as men.

R396 She is hot too and her previous boyfriend was spanish popular host David Broncano who is not particularly handsome

It seems Sharapova and Serena are friends again

Basilashvilli is gorgeous

R373 - essentially, the progressive party collapsed because the Romanian equivalent of the far right won the majority of votes in parliament in a bid to declare all of their anti-COVID measures (curfew, green pass, mask mandates) null and void. The progressives accuse the Russians of setting up the whole thing. The minister was physically chased put of parliament and things have been getting weird. All law enforcement has vanished from the streets and the city center and busy shopping areas. People are defying the laws and nobody is doing much of anything. It's like a total calm before the storm.

It is now the world leader in COVID deaths in proportion to the population. Americans are advised to leave or not enter the country due to the risk of contagion and, also, due to he fact that the medical system is collapsing under the weight. My roommate and I are vaccinated but we are both kind of in panic mode and thinking of leaving. I have been MIA on here due to work, stress and, because I hosted a wonderful older couple I met at Pride who are from the East Coast but retired in Budapest 10 years ago. At least I got some sex and good company. But overall, stress and panic is the order of the day. I still don't know if Raducanu will come. Things are changing every day and it may not be safe.

I wonder what life is like for someone as beautiful as Juan Betancourt. Even his name is beautiful. Looks like he recently turned 31.

He’s probably loaded too with that name
