The Gays and Tennis, Part 169 -- The Short Grass Court Season

Boris was the hottest guy in tennis back in the 1980s. Those legs were a work of art.

Yes.

Strawberry blond and HAF.

back in the day

I loved Boris. I took German in junior high and demanded my teacher refer to me as "Boris" in his honor.

Borg was the real hottie. Pardon the fugly Mac.

And then his milk curdled..,

He was the test model for what Cariltos has become…the “prefect” plsyer created in a lab by tennis scientists ;)

Perfect not prefect

With the strawberry blond hair, you know he has quite the firecrotch.

Ask his multiple ex-wives

Edberg was far more beautiful than Boris, sorry folks!

Jimmy was also cute, despite his bowl haircut and nasty temper.

That guy sure is hot. I was a kid in the mid 80s and didn’t grow up with tennis, so I missed out.

R11, I googled edberg tennis, pretty, but not even close to Boris hotness.

One aged well, the other didn’t and went to prison ^

I found Boris and Connors Carrot Top/Howdy Doody grotesque then and now. Derrick Rostagno, Wilander, Ivanisevic, Pat Cash, Beuno Oresar, Yannick Noah and the Spanish Armada floated my boat back in the Becker era.

Boris Becker had the sexiest, hairy legs in tennis. He was at his prime hotness during the 1985 and 1986 Wimbledons. I spent the entire 4th of July weekend both years watching him whenever he played.

Stefan Edberg was cute, but not hot. Pat Cash looked good from a distance and yes, he had spectacular legs, but up close he was Neanderthal looking.

Other hot tennis men: Arnaud Clement, James Blake before he went completely bald, and in view of these days of Rodent Men, I always found Andy Roddick super handsome, although somewhat rodent looking.

Murine.

Ste-fans

Naked Cash

Cash arse

I wish HBO hadn't let Wimbledon go. It was wonderful, no commercials and excellent coverage. They showed the best days of Borg, Connors and MacEnroe's hissy fits. And of course, Steffi Graf.

Yeah I also admired Pat Cash

It’s an ass…not an arse.

And I hate American obliviousness, R23. Not everybody on this board is American.

Pull your fat head out of your fat arse.

Neologism? It was first attested in the late 14th C.

If I didn't spend so much time getting banged by these studs back in the day, I might've won a slam.

I was always an Enqvist fan. He's aged beautifully. Very, very good-looking man.

Thanks to all for the history lesson.

I also used to lust after Austrian spark plug Thomas Muster.

How many days until Weembledohn?

Das Pickel! 😈

Boris was hot. I liked him in his even beefier, buzzcut, facial hair stage. He was like a thicker version of countryman Tim Kruger of gay porn fame. Well, in retrospect, since Boris predates Tim Kruger.

"Edberg was far more beautiful than Boris, sorry folks!"

Totally disagree. Somewhat cute, but I just never found him sexy or hot - or even more beautiful.

R33 but he was, so...you're wrong...

I'm totally right.

You keep telling yourself that...

I will.

I remember thinking Boris was quite repulsive, at the time - blond eyebrows/lashes give me the ick. Looking back at these pics now, I can see a certain beauty. However, he can't hold a candle to the sultry Edberg.

I was always drawn to the cool masculinity of the young Mats Wilander at the time.

Well, this thead got off to a rocky start

Big Jack D has managed to win 2 matches in a row in Stuttgart. Hopefully, finally making some progress.

He's got Big Foe in the next round, which should be an interesting match up - 2 players with game, who struggle with focus and consistency.

John Isner trying to create some shirtless buzz

one more Pat Cash just because

For an alleged model, Jack looks south of good in a remarkable number of photos.

He’s only British handsome.

Thank you for that Muster photo, R29. I recall that he shaved his chest for a lot, if not most of his career.

Another vote for Becker in his prime — beefy masculinity will always win out in the lust sweepstakes over refined prettiness.

I want the prettiness. I always thought Becker looked gross. Give me any of the Swedes, Guillermo Vilas, even Nastase. Plenty I can't think of... but keep beefy Hitler youth with the caveman face.

Don’t forget when Thomas Muster auctioned his clothes for charity, gurls.

Nadal won't play Wimbledon to focus on the Olympics. He did sign up for the clay court tournament in Bastad

^ I have tickets for Olympic tennis. I hope it's the day Nadal or another big name plays.

Cah was gross, great legs notwithstanding. No one's voting for Lendl and his crypt keeper vibe. I remember Lendl being cast as the villain and he was actually super nice and quite funny off court. He didn't age well - well he did for a while, then it all went to shit, as it does.

Cash^^

R52 I'd definitely vote for Lendl's gargantuan dong.

As for Boom Boom Boris - I always though he looked like a massively overgrown baby.

FLOPsy gets dumped out by perennial Aussie Journeyman, Duckworth.

With *that* serve and YELLton can't even win on grass. For shame!

Is he journeyman?

Shelton hasn't done much as of late. Will the rest of his career mirror his breakout 2023 season where he made a Slam QF and Slam SF but basically did nothing in between? He did win his first title after the USO last year and another in Houston this year - but also a lot of early round exits. He has big weapons, so if he puts it together on particular day, he can always be a threat. But, guys get to know his game, and as the commentators say, he has to "learn to play tennis" - pick up on what other guys are doing, make minor adjustments, etc. He's still young with a Top 15 ranking and two deep Slam runs - so he "has time" as they say. But "has time" can expire.

Just watched Duckworth's on court interview. Gay voice and vibe for days!

Re. Shelton - I always rag on him because I can't stand his on court persona, but I obviously see his talent and the potential for his game. He seems to struggle with setbacks in matches - and I think this probably stems from the douchey 'college bro' mentality his dad seems to have encouraged. He's very young and clearly has a lot of time to mature and develop

[quote]Has Matteo Berrettini noticeably gained weight?

a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips!

Big Jack D steps it up in the final set tie-break (7-1) to take out Big Foe. Very entertaining match. Winners coming from all over the court from bothy players.

P.W. Botha

Good photoshop at R61.

While I enjoy grass court tennis, I find this part of the season so tedious given all the rain delays.

Berrettini might, but that outfit does not do him any favors

I watched Berrettini play the other day. He looked like he gained a little weight, but that is a particularly unflattering photo. Additionally, nobody should ever wear that shade of beige.

Matteo Berrettini is very handsome, but his skinny legs seems awkwardly out of proportion to the rest of him.

bye OSD Tommy :-(

I enjoyed the grand slam finals that were Becker v Edberg. That was some fine tennis.

Becker managed to win 2 of the 3 finals he played against Becker. Plus he beat Becker in their only other Grand Slam match - the French Open SF in 1989.

So, Edberg was 3-1 in Slams vs. Becker even though he had a dismal 10-25 record against Boris overall. He also managed to beat Becker in the The Masters final (today's Year End Championship). So, he was good at getting wins when it really mattered most. Flip side, Becker absolutely railed Edberg a handful of times in Davis Cup - which was a very big deal back then, and obviously beat him in one Slam final.

Edberg has a pretty pure S&V game IIRC. He was amazing at the net.

I’d like to see vintage Becker rail Edberg.

Sorry, I meant "Edberg managed to win 2 of the 3 Slam finals he played against Becker."

R77 vintage Becker was underage you perv

He was? He became a star upon winning Wimbledon at 17.

Yes, and that was vintage Becker. Duh

But 17 isn't underage, at least in Europe where they're both from.

Hmmmm I can see his hole 🕳️ !!!!

UGOAT Team or Demon Team?

Lore Team or Berretteami?

Uh oh! Tsitsipas' physical trainer ends cooperation: “I'm not satisfied with his work ethic. I don't think his ultimate goal is to reach the top of the rankings or win Grand Slams." "The team atmosphere doesn't match my energy." "we have other priorities."

UGOAT Team

Lore Team

R85 That's quite the Flouncy Exit! Miss Trainer isn't pulling her punches.

I imagine working in the Tsitsipas camp is a nightmare - what with Diva Stefanos and both his dreadful parents to deal with on a daily basis.

I would think another player would think twice before hiring someone so happy to burn bridges.

Or they'd be happy to hire someone coming from such a big name and who achieved a lot.

Demon Team or Sebi Team?

Big Jack Team or Berretteami?

Big Jack go boom

Demon Team

Big Jack D Teams (tho I think Berretteami looks unstoppable this week)

I thought Hubie was gay?

From R93:

[quote] Markéta Vondroušová and Hubert Hurkacz are dating?‼️‼️ According to the Czech media, current wimbledon champion was seen in Prague with a Polish player in recent days, additional Marketa added an intriguing story today with a man.

Minotaur/Hitlerstache team though I prefer Seb Korda for the eye candy.

Berretteami

Seb Korda is strangely yummy to me.

R93 Could be a PR relationship.

Looking forward to Korda vs De Minaur today. Should be a good match!

R97 Yes. Literally what I thought at first as well. Doesn't that female tennis player have some lesbian rumors? It's very convenient that after years of having no girlfriend he gets together with a female tennis player.

Marketa, LOL

Why not Storelina?

I thought Stepan took her off the Marketa.

Seb Korda's cute but I can't get past the schoolgirl's headband.

1 set all, Jack D Vs Matteo.

Really good match so far - Draper's been very consistent and far more focussed than he's been in past finals. Wayne Ferreira joining his coaching team looks like it's bearing some fruit.

De Minaur won. Now, Berrettini and Draper to a third set.

I’m rooting for Big D, much as I don't mind me a bit of Berrettini.

JACK BREAKS!

BOG JACK D GRABS THE W!

BOG LOL

It's Draper's 1st career ATP title

Jack scrubbed up nicely for the ceremony. Shame about the trophy...

lookin def shaggable here

R111 Smouldering. Same vibe in this GIF.

What next male tournament?

Gretchen, stop trying to make J Draper happen. It ain’t gonna work.

Queens (Cinch) in West London and Halle in Germany - both next week R113

Thank you, R113!

Jack Draper will represent team GB at the Olympics!

Emma Raducanu was offered a wildcard for the Olympic Games as a previous grand slam champion, but turned it down as she chooses to 'prioritise her body and health'

Ben Shelton has also revealed that he plans to snub the Olympics as his priority lies with the North American hard-court tournaments

Prioritize my ass….£10 says she never wins another tournament in her career. She’s toast.

Much as I love to knock Radu-Can't-Do and YELLton, I don't blame players who don't prioritise the Olympics.

It means a lot to some - prestige of the title of Olympic Champion and representing your country - but it's an unnecessary distraction form the slog of the tour and accumulating ranking points, especially for younger players. It's not the 'pinnacle' in tennis as it is for sports like swimming and track and field.

They both have a chance at olympics in their future if and when their games become more formidable. When they both learn how to win even when their playing shit. They both made the right decision.

She’s never going to win anything…

Radacanu could very well end as a one-hit wonder. But what a hit.

In regard to Shelton, I get that it's probably not great to start the hardcourt season, go to the Olympics on clay, and then back to hard courts for the rest of the summer leading up to the US Open. But still, just the experience of the Olympics, even if he doesn't do great. Someone will be grateful that he declined the spot.

I don't think he likes to play overseas. He never played internationally until the AO when he turned pro (or the warmup tournaments right before).

R123 Sofía, Jelena, Chang, Mark Edmonton and so on….

Boo hoo Ben…suck it up. If you’re afraid of the Olympic year adjustment to the schedule then that’s on you…

[quote]Someone will be grateful that he declined the spot.

I think that's Tiafoe

R110 He's very handsome. Why are they opting to give out cheap lucite signs now instead of crystal cups or platters?

It’s Godwin’s Law R128

[quote]Why are they opting to give out cheap lucite signs now instead of crystal cups or platters?

He also won a 'Boss bike'.

Both Canada and Cincy Masters are after the Olympics, though the last day of Olympic tennis is Aug 4 and Canada starts Aug 6 - but if the Olympic finalists are seeded in Canada, then they wouldn't start until later in the week. The mid-summer Olympics seem doable in that there should be enough time to readjust to hardcourts leading to the US Open.

It happens every 4 years… nothing new

R130 Okay, I have to admit that a Boss bike is better than a crystal platter.

Did anyone post Rune's FIERCE photoshoot pics? My apologies if this is repetitive.

From 2017

Fierce is not the word that comes to mind….lo siento

I would like to fellate Big Jack's D to completion.

Most tennis players don't grow up dreaming of winning the Olympics or playing in the Olympics, they dream of winning a major. Even though it's been an Olympic Sport for 36 years it's never been considered a "must have" title for players. It makes sense that Emma would not interrupt her hardcourt season (her best surface) and U.S. Open prep (her sole major) to return to clay after the grasscourt season, having really not even played the entirety of the spring claycourt season.

Dumb comment of the day! That’s entertainment!

She’s not going to the Olympics in the same way she’s not going to do well at Wimbledon or at the U.S. Open.

Get real.

It really depends on the player. Many consider representing their country and winning an Olympic medal a HUGE deal. Others don't. The Olympics matter because of the brand. Even though the Olympic tennis tournament is, on paper, slightly less than a Masters, the brand makes it instantly recognizable and gives it a level of prestige. Most people, if asked, if an Olympic gold is "better" than a Wimbledon, US Open, or other Slam, would probably choose the Olympics. Only hardcore tennis fans would choose the Slams. Tennis coattails on all the sports for which the Olympics actually IS the pinnacle of the sport. Why does it matter? Because it's starting to affect GOAT and ATG discussions. I always say "maybe as a tiebreaker" but I see more and more tennis fans see it as a primary consideration, and even a few more tennis journalists/commentators following suit. Of course winning an Olympic medal is a nice achievement in tennis, but I've never considered it THAT important - but I see more and more people disagree. I get it. It's tough to avoid it having weight given the brand.

Is this where we talk about cinch Championships?

Demon and his squeeze both won titles today.

She shot the Sheriff?

Mackie and Zsa Zsa lose early at the Cinch

Big Foe has a nasty slip at Queens and has to retire against Hijikata.

The Brat is 1-set all against a bulging Jordan Thompson. Holger got very sloppy in the last few games/tie-break.

Why so many yellow kits? The Brat looks like Tweety Bird again.

That’s not yellow. It’s the tennis ball color—duh

[quote]Big Foe has a nasty slip at Queens and has to retire against Hijikata

FAA also retired in Halle after slipping twice

Thompson Bulge-age

Tweety Bird is dead.

Sylvester swallows?

Wow, Tweety Rune made the SF at Queen's Club last year

OstaPeppa was the defending champion in Birmingham but also lost in the 1st round

I hate it when Ostapenko loses. If neither she nor She Hulk wins Wimbledon, I'm going to be pissed.

I do, R154, but this one tasted so bad that I almost spat it out.

If The UGOAT get to the quarters at Queens, Tweety drops out of the Top 15.

10 months ago he was # 4 - quite the vertiginous drop!

Fils vs. Legz+ in Halle tomorrow.

I once proposed "Les Jambes" for Fils since he has spectacular legs too. But, it didn't catch on, and that's probably good since it wasn't that original at this point. Nevertheless, Les Jambes v. Legz+ tomorrow.

Legz+ on double duty tomorrow, playing with ZZZ in the dubs as well.

At first I read that as "those abductors".

Wow NSYG spanked Gaydrian 1 and 2.

I'm a lil surprised b/c Gaydrian has been very good on grass.

Mannarino's nose dived ever since the AO. The rest of his '24 has been dismal.

gurl need ta come on OUT!

I encountered Boris Becker in the 80s inside a Ralph Lauren boutique (God, were the clothes great), and we riffled the merch together. He may have been drinking. His face was rather florid, I thought. I removed to the changing room and waited. Nein.

I stopped being a fan of GAYdrian after he was an asshole to the ball kids at Indian Wells.

Is he also an asshole to the mascot children?

Yeah, I've somewhat soured on GAYdrian. He was also very flakey about playing the Saudi Exhos. Basically. "I don't give a shit about anything other than $$$$". Possibly just very honest, but somewhat disappointing.

nice piece on Lloyd Harris, whom I have always found sexy

Big Jack D looking mighty purdy for British Vogue.

Congrats to DL fave Marcos Giron for a big 2 set win over Rublev who he had almost beaten on clay last month.

The giant Frenchman GMP takes out Shelton. His compatriot and friend Fils also wins.

He tweaked Shelton’s nips?

I'd love to watch Murray's Queens Club match, but Tennis Channel is on Zverev/Otte in Halle. I know TC has Queens Club because they ran something earlier... maybe they contractually can't show the main courts? Frustrating.

Mpetshi

Murray's on now! So he's just not a marquee name anymore... sad. Third set!

R180 The world has moved on.

It's Murray's 1000th tour-level match

Call us when you get to 1450 or 1650.

Andy will announce that he actually retired two years ago, as he play confirms.

JOY for MISERY!

He wins his 1,000th ATP Tour match!

Misery team.

A little off topic but when did winning a major become synonymous with winning a grand slam? So many players and commentators refer to a one time major win as having won a grand slam. They haven’t won a grand slam (unless their name is Rod Laver) they’ve won a major, right?

You’re obtuse, aren’t you?

How does Rublev still have fans? He's gross. Needs anger management therapy and etiquette classes.

R189. Today, at the net, with Giron I thought he was despicable. What an ass and he has a problem that anger management can no longer solve. I have gone from love to hate very quickly.

R187 is correct.

You do understand that, speaking in shorthand, it is clearly implied that winning A grand slam = a single tournament vs. winning THE Grand Slam. I know that you actually do understand, because no tennis fan could actually be that dumb.

Isn't it slam = major and a Grand Slam = all 4 majors?

I've been watching a lot of Pericone over the past year, and I think he's a real threat at Wimbledon. NOBODY will want to play him in any round if he's healthy.

Learn the difference between A and THE…it shouldn’t be too difficult.

[quote]I've been watching a lot of Pericone over the past year,

Do you mean Perricard? (Mpetshi)

I take Pericone along with Creatina.

Getting back to that specimen, Boris Becker, that picture at the top of this thread shows a little bit of his bush in the opening of his shorts.

No one manscaped back then, not even swimmers in the 1970s.

Yes, R187. That bothers me, too. People, including most commentators (hi Chrissie!), now use 'slam' and 'major' as synonyms.

This is major! Its MAJOR!

[quote]a little bit of his bush in the opening of his shorts.

fire in the crotch!

bye, Mopsy :-(

I agree, it makes no sense.

“I won a slam.” No you didn’t. You won one. A slam owns all four bases. It’s simple.

"Yes, [R187]. That bothers me, too. People, including most commentators (hi Chrissie!), now use 'slam' and 'major' as synonyms. "

Slam and major are synonyms. As R187 pointed out, "Grand Slam" and major are not, yet some people will say "grand slam" to refer to a single slam or major. But, as someone else pointed out, most people can figure out contextually that they're only referring to a single major when using "grand slam."

Doesn't the term come from bridge? There's a grand slam and a baby slam.

The is no single 'slam'.

THERE is ...

^ yes any idiot can figure out that A grand slam is a major but that doesn’t mean it’s correct. In no way is A major a grand slam. The terms are now used interchangeably. It’s no big deal it just bugs me for some reason.

Grand Salami!

That's right, R193.

R198. You never had sex with a 70s swimmer, clearly.

R207 you’ve contradicted yourself in the space of a few words. It’s ok — A doesn’t equal THE. I’m confident that tennis fans don’t get hung up on this point, at all…

Billie Jean King hates when people use slam when they mean a major, so you could say that’s coming from the top.

"The" top or "a" top?

Billie Jean iis a top?

Remember when tennis balls were white?

How old are you. They went yellow in the 70s

Wimbledon was the last holdout with white balls, they didn't go yellow until 1986.

I DO remember when tennis balls were white — I watched my beloved Chrissie play with them for years. The poster I had of her at Wimbledon showed her serving with a white ball. 😍

The balls at Wimbledon were predominantly white.

Chrissie played with many many white balls.

Christine Marie has seen many cajones in her time on earth

How very DARE you!

Thinking of Taylor as Gene made me fondly remember Monty Python dressing up and staging World War 3 - enormous women in drag beating each other with their handbags.

Can that become an Olympic event?

Doumbia and our (supposedly) gay boy Reboul have just taken set one against Hurkacz and Sinner. Its been a very entertaining match so far, and the fact that Hurkacz and Sinner look as if they’ve got a crush on each other is making it all the more fun.

She Hulk is up at the ecotrans Ladies Open.

so happy for Jack D!!

It was a battle of the gluteus maximus vs the string bean calves. DL fave Marcos Giron has backed up his victory over Rublev with a 3 set win over Berretini.

Both Medvedev and Alcaraz know the real money is next week.

Giron of the Fabulous Ass beat Berreteami in Gemany.

Great win by Jack D. He'll lose first or second round at Wimbledon.

He’ll do as well at Wimbledon as the Three Lions in Germany.

Giron is so hot.

"YUGE"

Flop Daddy. This was a very winnable match and tournament.

Pornstache is good on grass.

I don’t follow tennis, but I have to applaud OP and the OP’s of all of these tennis threads; you sure find the best pictures to head the threads. I never tire of looking at the provocative pics of the players..

Draper levels up against Tommy.

I'm rooting for Jack, but Tommy does look rather delicious in his dinky blue shorts

All told, angry drivers shot 3,095 people over that decade, or nearly one every day. One in four of those people — 777 — were killed. Oddly, none involved cyclists.

But how many of those were professional tennis players?

I hope neither was shot driving to Queen’s Club.

Il Gingio advances.

Of course Draper flops—he’s fortnight will be a short night.

ZZZ team or CE team?

Dinky Rinky and ZZZ Teams!

Challenger Hotties - an occasional series.

Harold Mayot - into the final in Ilkley, and will crack the Top 100 for the first time if he wins. Diane Parry gets the pleasure of his off court game, the lucky bitch.

Is he related to Tim Mayotte?

Indeed. Harold's the FTM Tim Mayotte.

Tim Mayotte had a gigantic head. A good player but just clearly a level below the best of his generation.

ODS Tommy trail

On a totally different tennis note, here is the venue for the 2028 LA Olympics' tennis venue. Indian Wells would have been great, but it will be hotter than the sun out there. UCLA tennis Center (where the ATP LA Open used to be) would have been great but the campus is going to be the Olympic Village.

R298 I think I saw Sharapova play there years and years ago. Very fine venue if I recall correctly. Not amazing. But fine.

R298, that's the facility in Carson. There was a tournament there once. It's actually a nice facility in a decent location.

ODS Tommy, bishes!

and Lore!

Why is Tsitsipas so awful? I thought he was gay. Maybe he's just a misogynist.

He’s an absolute idiot, r306. That’s the conclusion I’ve come to after years of following him. Remember how he used to thieve other people’s “philosophical” IGs and Tweets then pass them off as his own? The latest garbage on “normal” male/female roles and attitudes was the last straw for me. He can lose every match from here to his retirement now for all I care.

He should be run over by a Citybus!

Aren't his parents sort of nuts? (though good looking).

Hoobie defeats A. Zverev.

Our Dear, Sweet Dumb Tommy team or Musettimi?

Il Gingio team or Hoobie team?

Tsitsipas is a Greek man (with a Russian mother), so his attitudes regarding traditional gender roles are not surprising in the least. My uncle is from Greece and my aunt does EVERYTHING for him.

Did Kyrgios retire due to injuries? Haven't heard about him in a long time.

Lore's tasty, but OSDT will alway have my love. (I love to give him my D, too.)

I haven't seen hide nor hair of her. Maybe that's why Tommy can concentrate.

That's Giron again, doll.

It is not. The title of the video is correct: “Borna Coric wet shorts”.

I'll Gingio wins Terra Wortmann Open aka Halle Open.

Tommy's GF ripped on twitter for gripping his neck to make sure she's in all the photos.

I just saw that too, R337 and raced here to DL to get reactions! I love that you beat me to it! Look at her hang on him, LOL.

R337, she is cinching his neck.

Fatal Attraction vibes. She looks at him like an expensive cut of meat.

Eventually he's going to dump her and she will go nuts on him.

Will she be ignored, r340?

To me Paul, Fritz and Giron are just AWG, frat version. The guys I saw at UCLA frats when I was going to school there were much hotter, but to each his own.

R342 thanks for your contribution. That was very valuable.

[quote] Giron are just AWG

Giron is an average white guy?

I went to UCLA, too, R342. Please share some slutty hot frat stories, esp if they involve tennis.

Giron is Latino.

K. Hemsworth got rid of his facial hair.

Glad you found it to be of great value, R343. My point is that there are maybe two or three posters on here who love to inundate us with those three guys, That's fine, but meanwhile topics like ATP players supporting Pride get pretty much ignored. I'll shut up about it now.

Sorry, R345, the best I can do is drunken gay frat sex conveniently forgotten the next morning, UCLA locker room shenanigans, and Venice Beach surfer and skater adventures. I didn't play a lot of tennis until after college.

That PP is SKANK HO!

R342 um, Girón was a Ucla frat boy. Gary your facts straight.

R345 I didn’t go there—it was just the backup school—but I knew plenty who made the invite list to Rock Hudson’s house. They kissed and told… well, a lot more than kissing.

I know that Giron was a UCLA frat boy. That doesn't change what I was saying. Just because he was in a UCLA frat doesn't mean that there were other hotter UCLA frat boys.

weren't other*.

But that’s not what you wrote. Ah well, Ucla

What I wrote: "The guys I saw at UCLA frats when I was going to school there were much hotter, but to each his own."

That Giron was a frat boy at UCLA doesn't change the fact that the guys I saw at UCLA frats when I was going there were much hotter.

You saw, but didn’t get touched. Zzzz

Now it's Tommy topping Taylor topping Ben, nobody else in between.

Lore gave ODS Tommy a real challenge in the final. It wasn't a cinch for Tommy to win.

I'll say, R359!

[quote] I'll say

Did Felix and his longtime GF break up?

R361, someone on Twitter insinuated that there’s a tale or two to tell about Paige.

She’s tail as old as time.

I remember when Wimbledon always started in June. I wish it was on now.

I kind of like the extra week between. It was really intense having two majors in six weeks. I always feel a little liberated when a major ends and I get my life back...

Brat/Legz shirtless video.

I'd prefer a Brat Legzless video.,

ODS Tommy

Judy is pissed

Poor Andy, he should just hang it up!

who is revealing his medical info?

Tommy isn't ugly but he's probably a fun hang...that gf is nothing special, she's probably a convenient fuck...not gonna last.

Plot twist: Jamie!

Great, now Andy can't even attend his own retirement with the thunderous applause as he goes out in Round 1 of Wimbledon.

Congratulations to DL fave Marcos Giron on another good win over BDF Cerundulo. Marcos has won his last four tiebreaks.

Ugly ucla fratty—that’s what They say

Ha ha, R388. I have to admit his shorts and sleeveless shirt looked good on him today, though Cerundulo is more my style.

Che-Rune-Doh-Lo

Paul was a really good junior and won majors. He was a typical spoiled American coming up but he has a very sound game. He's very technically sound on both sides of the ball and has great movement. He can easily make a major final if things lined up. He gives Zverev and Alcaraz all kinds of trouble head to head. He has a better all around game than Fritz who just wants to pound the ball.

I agree, r391. You can actually see Paul trying to construct points (with more and more success).

I’ve seen a lot of stuff along these lines about Paige…

Poison Paige

The NYT -- more precisely, its "The Athletic" offshoot -- has a decent interview with Dimitrov about how he's managed to regain his form later in his career. It's paywalled, so I'll pull out a couple of things I found interesting below.

With regard to The Athletic, I'm currently able to log in with my NYT account, but I wouldn't be surprised if it gets spun off completely. It has decent tennis coverage at a time when Sports Illustrated and ESPN and pulling back, and the overall approach is more old-school journalism than clickbait. Nice to have an alternative to Tennis.com/Tennis Channel since I hate giving that Sinclair fuckwad any money.

---------------

“A lot has changed,” he says. “There comes a point where I had to make some tough decisions on and off the court.

“Sometimes with my coaching team, sometimes there were things I had to focus on outside of tennis. It’s life. For me, part of growing as a human is you have basic experiences, which I didn’t really have, being a tennis player.

“I always wanted to make sure that I did have those things and maybe that’s why at times they were taking me away from the game. But I definitely don’t regret it.”

----------------

“To be the best in the sport you have to be obsessed, that’s how it is. To a point where you don’t have much margin for error. So when you look from that perspective, it’s pretty difficult.

“But I think I’m navigating myself better with things, and I also know that at the moment I’m way closer to the end than the beginning, and that also gives you a very different perspective.”

Because of Dimitrov’s geniality off the court — he’s a very popular locker-room presence — and his lack of killer instinct in some of his biggest matches, it’s been tempting to characterise him as someone lacking ruthlessness. He doesn’t feel that way.

“If I didn’t have it, I wouldn’t be here right now. And I think to have it something must have happened with you — like a bad experience that pushes you over the edge, that after you’re like, ‘OK, we’re on now.’

“I had that, of course. Both on and off the court. I had many of those experiences and I’m very grateful for them. Some of them have been extremely hard but it’s part of the game and part of life. I always link the game, our sport, to our life. I think they go hand-in-hand — it teaches you life as well.”

Part of that hand-in-hand relationship has led him to consider his views on what it means to be selfish and ruthless as a tennis player, whether in pursuit of wider goals or individual points, while still knowing how to behave. “Selfishness (for an athlete) goes without saying but it’s a fine line between it being a bad kind and a good kind,” he says. “I could have been more selfish with some decisions I had to make, but I’m contradicting myself a little bit because I always wanted to grow as a person, and now I’m kind of bitching on it.

[Okay, his English and desire to be diplomatic makes it a little tough to fully grok what he means, but my sense is that he stuck with certain people on his team longer than he should have, out of a sense of loyalty/wanting to be a nice guy.]

Why would it be spun off? It is the only sports section the Times has, since they quite intentionally shut down their sports dept.

The Athletic has a couple of dedicated tennis writers so lots of content.

r396 The fact that it requires a separate login makes me think they want it to be its own revenue stream. But maybe they just want to be able to market it to folks who don't want a Times subscription? Time will tell, I suppose.

It doesn’t require a separate login for NYT subscribers. It is the latter—it has been fully integrated into their digital newspaper as the “spiorts section.”

BB never had a sex appeal for me.

Norrie lost.

Dame Emma bagels Sloth Stephens.

Eubanks is gonna be hemorrhaging points the next few weeks. I hope he saved up some money from all the direct entries he got post-Wimbledon.

Likable guy, but that pan has flashed.

The Athletic now has a NYT URL so I don’t think they envision it being separate.

But it’s part of their All Access subscriptions, which includes other stuff like games, so costs more than a regular sub.

If you get home delivery, everything is included. I read it online, but I still like to alsohave a copy in my hands at the breakfast table…

I didn't realize Yannick Hanfmann is hearing impaired.

[quote] He is hearing-impaired, having been so since birth

Peppa looks a bit slimmer in her circus tent, but she dropped the first set to Katie Boulter.

Peppa lost! She has some muscular arms though

Ugh, it's clear that Peppa needs to incorporate donuts back into her training regimen.

I used to defend Shelton on these threads, but his manner on court is as annoying as ever. I thought he'd tone it down eventually, but instead he's become nearly as obnoxious as Lleyton Hewitt used to be.

R406 That makes it even more impressive that he's one of the top tennis players in the world. I would assume there's some physiological reaction a tennis player has when hearing the ball come off the strings.

[quote] breakfast, lunch and dinner.

With strawberries and cream.

A dream grass court season for Brit journeyman, Billy Harris. He reaches his second consecutive ATP Semi Final in Eastbourne by taking out the pretty, pretty Cobolli

A great, eye-opening read.

And I wonder if Agassi's "empty stare" wasn't meth-induced rather than a sign of boredom and loneliness?

Oh, and Dimitrov sounds like a cunt.

"Did they know I had nearly beaten a guy who had once beaten Pete Sampras?" Soul crushing

Mopsy assumes the position

Agony for Mopsy is Jubb-ilation for Paul Jubb.

Another Brit journeyman having the best week of his career so far.

Some great news from WimbelTON Quallies.

DL Fave and Spanish Uber Hunk, Alejandro Moro Cañas, qualifies for his first Grand Slam main draw.

Is he journeyman?

Is he grass specialist?

Good looking. R421.

Boss Daddy

How sad to be vulturing at a 250 the week before a slam.

Is the PP with Daddy the week?

Good to see Jubb pull it out over Mopsy and rocket in the rankings.

Daddy doesn’t go anywhere without PP. Watching the Netflix series Break Point (which is great) and the Daddy episode is LOUSY with PP.

And PP gets a special shoutout from Daddy at the trophy ceremony.

Under orders no doubt.

who the fuck is PP? this person play tennis? dont talk about tennis whores here please. she's just a common whore, nothing special.

agree, the fame-seeking girlfriends are irrelevant in this thread, unless they get a ring on it they are simply sperm repositories for the athletes; the only ones that count are the wives

The girlfriends and wives affect the players’ games and mental and emotional states (often for the worse). Therefore, they’re worthy topics of discussion here.

In any sport now the WAGS are a part of the show.

Wow, Roddick pulls back the curtain on the business side of tennis answering questions from the most hidden part of tennis. In part 2 he talks about appearance fees. He shades a few players without naming names and carefully avoids exact dollar amounts but does a fantastic job honestly explaining the intricacies of the business.

One more day!

Zsa Zsa is ready to do some damage at the big W.

Zsa Zsa Team

that's some 'do

Is he qualifier?

Weembledohn.

He looks estoned

If he decides to play, Misery faces Legz+ in the first round

Oh my...She-Hulk Sabalenka is injured and won't be able to play

That's unfortunate for her; however, this opens up the draw for me to win my second tournament!

Obviously I'm the favorite now!

John McEnroe admitted that, even though he’s calling Alcaraz’s first-round match on HBO, he knows nothing about Lajal, Alcaraz’s opponent. WTF, does McEnroe just waltz into the announcer booth 30 seconds before airtime and totally wing it?!

Wuud wins a match at Wimbledon! Huzzah!!!

I’s won!

Some entertaining 5-setters on the first day, so far:

The UGOAT tops and tails his match against Shevchenko with 6-1 sets - with his usual round-the-houses wobbles in sets 2-4.

Lloyd Harris comes through a 5th set tie-break nail-biter against foetus-faced Michelsen

Pornstache Thompson does a Houdini act - coming back from 2 sets to love down to beat Kotov

Big Foe repeats the feat against Arnaldi.

Cute Altmaier breaks Brit hearts by beating equally cute, Arthur Fery in 5.

Cazaux and Zsa Zsa are currently in a 5th set. Cazaux took the first 2-sets easily, so Bergs with the momentum.

[quote] Big Foe repeats the feat against Arnaldi.

Foe de-feat

Shapo is looking so fucking MANLY lately. Hawt.

Isner's commentary pretty good, so far.

Don't forget about me! I won as well!

I'm off to Wimbledon for Day 2 tomorrow - will be getting a general 'ground ticket' for all the non-show courts.

Have ear-marked the following matches to see: Morning: Etcheverry - Nardi on Court 4 Musetti - Lestienne on Court 7 Jubb - Seyboth-Wild on Court 7

Early afternoon: Fils - Stricker on Court 7 Fearnley - Moro Cañas on Court 8

Late afternoon: Cobolli - Hijakata on Court 9

Early evening: Tabilo - Evans on Court 12 Giron - Searle on Court 15 FAA - Kokkinakis 0n Court 17

If I can get a re-sale ticket for the show courts might try and catch Big Jack D on Court 2, or Murray Vs Legz+ on Centre.

Will report back on my adventures!

Thank you, R466. Are you quite ready for another adventure?

I'm always up for an adventure R467!

In other news: the match point in the Lloyd Harris / Michelsen match was BONKERS...

[quote]does McEnroe just waltz into the announcer booth 30 seconds before airtime and totally wing it?

Yes. Plus, his act is stale as a two-week old baguette. ESPN needs to kick him to the curb.

Lloyd Harris is hawt. He can pleasure my mussy anytime he wants to.

Legz+ v Misery third up on Centre Court tomorrow, gurls

I can't wait to see Legz+ new kit

Loving your choices, R466, and am especially looking forward to your reports on the FAA, Fils, Hijikata-Cobolli, Jubb and Etcheverry matches. Hoping you get lucky and see Legz+Murray as well.

[quote]Shapo is looking so fucking MANLY lately. Hawt.

Yes. I always thought he'd grow more handsome as he matured. He has some good genes, and when his gf/wife finally took control of his hair, he really came together.

Misery with draws

no Legz+ today

So Legz+ gets a walkover? Misery could have withdrew before the tournament and let someone else get a spot.

I guess someone is getting his spot - Goffin.

This is a trade-off for R466 since Legz+Goffin has been moved to Court 17 but the FAA-Kokk match in turn was moved to Court 2. Hoping we can still get a report on the FAA match...

So sad for Misery but happy for Goffin. Talk about someone who deserves a break! I love Legz tho, but rooting for Goffin to make the second week. (Unlikely, I know.)

Sebastian Korda is a flop!

Korda never seems like he's that invested. He's managed to be ranked between 20 and 40 for a number of years, so obviously he's a good player. But, I don't think he has the grinding, burning passion he needs to really jump to the top echelon where he's contending for Slams. I'm always surprised that he's STILL ranked as high as he is. I never seem to remember his decent results, which must exist, if he's maintaining a 20s or 30s ranking.

Flopos Korda

Mopsy thru in 5

Rublev out first rlound.

Rlound Garros

Gay umpire Nacho Forcadell in the Tsitsipas match right now.

Korda couldn't catch a break: GM-P (more on-form than AD-F) was raining bombs and Sebby wasn't 100% physically. So not really a flop.

Still, he's outta there.

ESPN has some woman doing color commentary during matches and I didn’t hear her introduced.

Sounds like a former player. Anyone know?

Oh, it’s Coco Vandeweghe.

I know she’s not well liked on here but I think she’s pretty good.

R466 here. Just got back from a loooooong ass day at SW19.. I was up at 4am to get in to the the queue by 6.30.

I had a great day and managed to see at least parts of most of the matches I listed as wanting to see - in spite of rain delays - and a record 6 hours in line to get in the bloody place!

I'm absolutely knackered now, but will give a full breakdown of who I saw tomorrow.

[quote[I'm absolutely knackered

whuh??

I love the adjective, tho

R499 back. Rested and raring to go.

I got to the famous queue at 6.30 - number 6,130 in line. I spent the first 6 hours being shunted randomly round a field watching the Great Unwashed invent increasing random ways of passing the time. Every year, Wimbledon seems to have a new Queueing system, and every year it seems to take longer to get in the place!

By the time I got in it was the middle of the first rain delay - which worked out well for me, as I was able to get a good seat on Court 4 for the last set and a half of Tomas Martin Etcheverry - Luca Nardi. Not a great match in itself, Etcheverry was very dialled-in and dominated, with occasional out-of-this world service return passes from Nardi. Etcheverry is an absolute physical specimen close up. Has a very similar physique, and game on grass, to Feli Lopez - lots of serve volleying, interspersed with inch-perfect backhand slices.

Second match I saw - this one in its entirety was young Scot, Jacob Fearnley, who won the recent Challenger in Nottingham - against Alejandro Moro Cañas - who caught our collective eye earlier in the year when he won a Challenger in Italy. earlier this year. It was a straight sets win for Fearnley, but very competitive and entertaining. Reading up on Fearnley - he was contemporary of Sinner and Alcaraz in Juniors and has beaten both of them in the past - and you could well see that in the basic quality of his tennis. I think he has the potential to take a set of Novak in the next round. Moro Cañas is hotness itself. In spite of the cold weather, indulged us by changing his shirt several times during the match.

After that I managed to catch the last set of Arthur Fils Vs Dominic Stricker on Court 7. Fils looked very convincing - very focussed, few sloppy errors. His service return position is basically a full squat which accentuates his magnificent ass. Seriously if he passed in front of the sun, there would be a total eclipse. Good to see Stricker back from injury - he was playing well but ran out of steam at the end of the set.

By this time it was getting in for 7pm, so I decided to head out to Court 12 to catch the end of Angie Kerber and Putintseva, followed by the first set and a half of Alejandro Tabilio Vs 'Crackhead' Dan Evans. What it lacked in obvious eye-candy, it made up for in skill, with both Tabilo and Evans playing some great cat and mouse rallies. Tabilo's touch in the ball is silky smooth and he can conjure up drop shots and seemingly impossible passes from anywhere on the court. Evo was being his usual annoying self - moaning about the conditions from the third game and running constant commentary - often amusing, to be fair - throughout proceedings.

I did catch brief glimpses on my way around of the Musetti/ Lestienne and Legz+/Goffin matches. I can confirm to both their fanbases that their poster boy statuses are completely merited on an up-close inspection. Speaking of up-close inspection, Lestienne has a very big cock.

Before i left, I did watch the last half set of Big Jack D and Ymer, on the new big screen, ensconced in a deckchair with a double G&T, on the new terrace behind Court 12.

I got seated next to some fun people over the course of the day - a very handsome American flight attendant on a layover in London - who didn't know much about tennis but was really enjoying the experience; and an older American couple who seem to fly the world following the tour, and do little else The woman would thrive on here - taking pointless bitchery - mainly about Iga Swiatek - to new heights.

All in all, a great day. Probably my 20th Wimbledon. I used to go annually, before moving up to Scotland a decade ago. Now it's every few years if I'm down visiting family and friends.

Damn it, forgot the obligatory eye candy pic!

A soulful-looking Tomas Martin Etcheverry

Thanks for the great recap, r501/r502. I’m green with envy.

Shame you didn’t get to report on the Kokk, whose match you said you were planning to see. I would have liked a first-hand account of those legs and that bulge. Still, happy to note that Lestienne is a very gifted player :-)

R504 sorry about that! I was planning to, but they moved the match from 12 onto to Court 2 - which it is a ticketed show court.

popcorn matches today:

Should we use this thread for wimbledon or the other one specifically for Wimbledon?

Gay umpire Nacho Forcadell in the Casper match!

R507 normally we discuss the majors in the general "Gays and Tennis Threads". When this one gets close to the end (601 posts) we start a fresh one, part 170.

The bottom half of the women's draw is a bit rubbish without She Hulk. Too bad Peppa isn't in it as she would have a better shot at cunting her way to the title.

The title is mine...

Porna is out.

casper is 2 sets down!

Wuud may be down, but Wuusuvouwi won!

Wow, Carlos's English has improved

Carlos's teeth is so still yellow!!! Yuck!

Adios, 'lil Casper. Sad.

I love Ruud so much, but damn his Wimby record is horrendous. In two weeks, Bastad, and he's playing doubles with Rafa!

Legz+ with a shorts "system" that lets us see the front of his thighs pretty high up, but backside flaps that go down further.

Legz+ was 0-5 down to Goffin in the 5th set. It's now 4-5, back on serve!

Casper is out!

Emma coming up and Osaka too!

Omg, Coco's hair is so bad. Can't she afford better wigs? Looks so dry...trash!

Osaka, gurl, no. Just, no, with that outfit.

Wow, what a flop by Goffin! He was serving at 4-4 in 3rd up two sets and had a 5-1 lead in the 5th.

The upside is Legz+ and his bunched up shorts live to see another day,

Another win for Big Penis fans!

Veteran Pouille overcomes sex-on-legs, Djere, in a 5-set thriller.

Yes, I just came here to post about Osaka's horrible outfit!! I bet she designed it herself

FAA was topping Kokk, but now Kokk has mounted FAA and is giving him a switcheroo comeback.

Naomi is fat!

R529 in my dreams!

I'm watching raducanu v mertens match

It looks like Naomi's seamstress was drunk when she sewed that dress.

Legz+ bishes

now and forever!

R504 I've seen The Kokk play a couple times at Indian Wells. His body is just as beautiful in person as it is on screen. I would spend hours just worshipping his calves.

Also, I'm watching The Kokk play FAA right now on ESPN+. Thanasi has quite the bulge today.

Unfancied Finn, Otto Virtanten - who's sexy in a Legz+esque way - goes 2 sets up to 1 up against ODS Tommy.

Major upset incoming?

Raducanu won easily

Tommy and his hairy stomach are down 2 sets to 1.

What is going on with that kokk match? Something wrong with the grass?

Kokk has ugly butterfly tat on his leg

Osaka is out!!!

You don't need calved to be hot

R540 Kokk thought the grass was too damp after the rain delay. Then it started misting slightly - not enough for the umbrellas to come out. He stopped and complained to the umpire.

Kokkinakis comes back from two sets down to beat FAA. Wow.

FAA just seems mentally weak to me...

R546 I don't think he's been the same since before he had Uncle Toni coaching him.

[quote] Yes, I just came here to post about Osaka's horrible outfit!! I bet she designed it herself

I think she just chucked together all the leftover wedding dresses from her village fete and thought it was great. It really is the most horrendous thing I’ve ever seen on a tennis court—and I’ve seen her very own tartan outfits lifted from a Scottish op-shop.

Sad to see so many of my faves out so early: Felix, Navone, Mackie, ZZZ, Lajovic, Arnaldi, Mensik, Kei, Borges, Daniel, Djere, Eubanks, Hijikata, Cerundolo, Jubb,

I wonder if Felix has broken up with his longtime girlfriend and is down because of that. I haven't seen her in his player's box lately and his IG latest song is Billie Eilish's breakup song, Blue.

It's tough to get behind Kokkinakis with all of that obnoxious dudebro energy he's had going on with Kyrgios.

For someone as tall as he is, Berretini appears to have a nice meaty ass.

Il Gingio in 4, winning the three TBs.

Great match!

Berrettini did well to almost bring it to a 5th, but he's probably still recovering from that sex-crazed ex and didn't have enough in the tank.

yeah, she was the platonic form of a PP

[quote] didn't have enough in the tank.

So to speak.

R549 so sad you didn't remember our Woobie!! (Rublev)

Get up Andrey, we love you! ...well, we used to.

Of course, Woobie and Wuud, too!

ODS Tommy levitates

Legz+ 2nd on Court 8 today

Fils two sets to love up on Hubie, who can't seem to find his serve... so far.

Cobolli is very hot!

Hubie retires with a knee injury in the 4th set tie-break.

tommy paul has no lips. not a good kisser in my book.

Sexy Argentinian, Francisco Comesana, conqueror of Woobie, repeats the feat over Adam Walton in 5, and is into the third round!

This match between two English roses who don't like each other is intense!

As I predicted, Jacob Fearnley takes a set off NoVaxx!

Just won my R2 match guys! So stoked to be in R5.

Norrie's jumped into a Time Machine and become the player he was in 2022 - he's 'doing a Dart' on Big Jack D. Cam stormed the first set tie-break, and up two breaks in the second. Jack looking shell-shocked.

Yeah, Norrie is taking AWGie Jack to the woodshed.

Tabilo looks like a Socal beach whore (gay or straight version).

I'm sorry, I meant Cobolli^^. Cobolli looks like a SoCal beach whore.

Mopsy over llovely Lloyd in 5

Peppa is on a mission!

Legz+ loses in 4 to Safiullin

Tabilo doing Tabilo things. On the backfoot for sets 3 and 4 and most of 5. He managed to get to 5-4, and then goes and breaks Cobolli in the final game to win.

Getting all misty-eyed as Sir Andy takes the court…

A good day for the French brigade: Fils, Monfils, Pouille, Halys all through, and Mpetschi Perricard currently bulldozing Nishioka.

I'm pulling for Fernandez over Wozniacki, who continues to bore fans with an unremarkable comeback for which nobody was clamoring.

I’d rather see Woz take it. I find Leylah Annie annoying.

I like Leylah Annie's pluck. Woz is such a frau.

Citybus crashes out to Ruusuovuori. Will he ever be Top 10 again?

wow, Tsitsipas is out, damn

Giron is getting spanked by Zverev, which is not surprising given the latter's propensity for physical assault and the former's "asking for it" ass.

Really moving stuff on Centre now with Andy. You can just tell he doesn't want it to end this way, but the body won't cooperate.

Great player, great champion.

Loving the tribute for Sir Andy!

This is such a lovely moment for fans of tennis.

the Murray brothers embracing, totally crying here

Thank you, Sir Andy. Crying HARD.

I cannot abide Shelton's fratboy antics.

Shelton pings for me, don't know why. He sorta has a gay voice and slightly feminine mannerisms, despite his efforts to butch it up.

Suspected gay player Hubie got injured, too bad. I think he would have probably lost to Fils even if he didn't get injured though, as he was in trouble long before that.

Agree with R590 that something seems gay about Ben Shelton. His parents would probably burn a gay kid at the stake.

Tsitsipas is the definition of insanity… continuing to do what hasn’t worked annd expecting a different result.

He needs to get away from his dad.

Shelton broke up with his girlfriend Anna Hall (the heptathlete who just won the trials and is going to the Olympcis) months ago .

Lordy, that Finnish blond Emil is gorgeous.

Shelton v. Shapo is bound to be full of loud, cringe-worthy moments. Frat Boy v. Rap Boy.

I thought Cobolli, who lost to Tabilo, was really attractive, and he's usually not my type.

Misery team.

Thiem team.

Domicakes team.
