There a lot of tennis hotties. I still find it strange that not a single professional male tennis player has been out while playing. I know Jan-Michael Gambill came out, but I'm pretty sure it was after he retired.

I know people say it's because they're scared of losing sponsorships, or playing in homophobic countries, but there have been plenty of out lesbians in tennis who've got on fine. Take Martina Navratilova for instance, who was out many years ago when the world was a lot less accepting than it is now.

It's not a team sport, so you don't really have to worry about jibes from team members and tennis seems too classy to have hooligans yelling slurs from the stands. I know it definitely wouldn't be accepted at the likes of Wimbledon, for example.

by Anonymousreply 18October 6, 2023 9:26 AM

Ben Rothenberg said that if a top male player came out now, sponsors would be very positive. Big sponsors like Nike support Pride now, they look to appeal to younger people.

It seems that they just aren't brave enough.

The final of the China Open is going to be Swiatek-Samsonova.

Swiatek destroyed Gauff and now has a HtH of 7-1 over Gauff.

Samsonova beat Rybot and now has a HtH of 4-0 over Rybakina.

Some players can't seem to handle certain players well and sometimes it seems random. (Coco must be very grateful to Peppa who has another random-seeming 4-0 HtH over Swiatek and beat her in the USO.)

I was actually wrong and Iga actually has an 8-1 HtH over Coco now. I don't understand your second point - the USO was only last MONTH and Coco still can't beat Iga beyond one fluke game despite it being 'the summer of Coco'? Some players just seem to have their kryptonite or nemesis.

by Anonymousreply 105October 11, 2023 1:45 PM

Hi r105. I was distractedly watching the last set while I was at work, and it looked like Dimitrov was in superlative form and Alcaraz was having an off day. The commentators seemed to be saying more or less the same thing.

What few rallies I saw were actually quite breathtaking—Alcaraz, even on an off day, is not going to give any less than 100%, but Dimitrov wasn't having that today.

by Anonymousreply 106October 11, 2023 2:47 PM

R105, my take: Dimitrov had a good game plan and was very aggressive. When Alcaraz isn’t in charge, when he has to be reactive, he’s noticeably less happy and makes more mistakes.

by Anonymousreply 107October 11, 2023 3:09 PM

R107, I believe that's how Sinner beat Alcaraz recently, by being extra aggressive and keeping Alcaraz more on his back foot. Of course, so much easier said than done, but that seems to be the game plan to use against Alcaraz

R112, I think another factor is all the surge in media hype after Alcaraz won Wimbledon. Some people were already proclaiming that he stood a chance of breaking Djokovic's record of 24 GS titles. Of course Alcaraz is hugely talented and unbelievably mature for his age, but he's won only two GSs to date so I think it was way, way too premature to be talking about breaking Djokovic's record. I wonder now if all that media hype was adding too much pressure on him. After all, he's still so young, only 20 years old.

Nah, I would take how players perform in tournaments outside of slams with a big pinch of salt. Top players are often paid large sums simply to appear but don't necessarily want to play - and therefore may not be as competitive or 'on' as they would be in a slam.

My God, Cameron Norrie's backhand is so hideous: he strikes it with two hands but the hands don't pivot, it feels like both hands are locked in a cast and he's just moving the cast somehow. OTOH I think the best looking backhand right now, might be Seb Korda's: he strikes it like it was done in the late 90s early noughties. Smooth yet powerfull, almost flat with a tiny bit of spin for security, gorgeous follow through.

This is for the WTA Elite Trophy which is for the 2nd tier of top players. The groups are:

Krejcikova, Linette, Kasatkina

Haddad Maia, Keys, Garcia

Peppa Pig, Zheng, Vekic

Zhu (WC), Kudermetova, Samsonova.

Winner of each goes to the semifinals. Keys can only progress now if Garcia beats Haddad Maia in 2 sets and then it comes down to number of games won/lost.

“I'm happy that I was able to stay focused tonight, overcome the conditions, and play well,” the world No. 1 wrote after a 6-0, 6-1 demolition of No. 8 seed Maria Sakkari. “I have to say though that I am very disappointed with the WTA and the experience so far at the WTA Finals. As I said in my press conference tonight, as a player I really feel disrespected by the WTA. I think most of us do. This is not the level of organization we expect for the Finals.

“To be honest, I don't feel safe moving on this court a lot of the time, the bounce is not consistent at all, and we weren't able to practice on this court until yesterday for the first time. It's just not acceptable to me with so much on the line and so much at stake.”

[quote]The discussions in China culminated with a three-page, single-spaced letter sent on October 5 and signed by Sabalenka and 20 other leading players, including Elena Rybakina and Marketa Vondrousova, the last two Wimbledon champions, and Ons Jabeur, a three-time Grand Slam finalist. The players requested immediate consideration of their needs for higher pay, a more flexible schedule that is more physically and mentally sustainable, expanded childcare and official representation on the WTA Players Council from their own, independent player organization, the nascent Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA), which Novak Djokovic co-founded in 2020.

Cocaine kisses aside, he's also one of the nicest, most sporting players of the modern era - you can tell that in his final years he's just played for a genuine love of the game, without the torture of trying to regain past glories that's come with Murray.

Pegula-Sakkari is going to be a dead rubber because Pegula is through and Sakkari out regardless. So they will mostly be playing for the money ($198,000 plus 125 ranking points for each round-robin win).

I really wonder how the psychology of that works. I did notice that Kudermetova was super keen to win her dead rubber match for the money last week but would top players - especially heiress Pegula - care less about winning a dead rubber match for the money? Maybe the competitiveness kicks in too.

I hope she’ll have as much of a mouth on her to protest against the WTA tour finals going to Saudi Arabia next year.

Apparently they were ready to take the WTA finals to Saudi Arabia this year.

I suspect, though, that Sabalenka wouldn’t be so vocally against the move if it comes to that. Moolah is moolah, after all, which is the only thing professional athletes should be interested in. Not politics, not wars, just money.
