The Gays and Tennis, Part 193 - The Rest of the Season

Thank you OP!

Lightning reflexes OP!

Lorne Michaels with Trump it looked like.

Paris Bercy and the coolest trophy in tennis.

[quote]Cankles looked pissed!

He wants to be like Princess Kate.

[quote] Cankles looked pissed!

Because the illegal immigrant terrorist-looking guy won!

One of Trump's special random hates is Spain so I'm sure he's unhappy.

Trump was pulling pissed-off faces in the stands. What a piece of shit.

LOL @ "Cankles"

Cankles would never have been able to get up and down those stairs to the podium

Thanks, OP.

Sinner's hair looks even redder.

And it clashes terribly with his rust colored outfit.

Sinner needs braces, his teeth

The Koch-McClaves bello coppia.

Oh thank God Trump's not presenting the winner's trophy. The coward is scared of the boos.

Lendl looks pretty good. He was a sloppy mess pushing maximum density a few years ago.

He looks like shit

Valhaly getting in a squeeze with Carlitos.

Good game, good game.

5 MILLION smack-a-ponies, damn.

🫨😮‍💨

[quote] One of Trump's special random hates is Spain so I'm sure he's unhappy.

Why does he hate Spain?

Safin looks terrible for 45!!!

Bet Jim courrier was happy to see his mcdreamy, he was slobbering all over him once

I prayed it wasn’t Trump. God sent Lendl instead?!

Oh, what a cruel world ;)

Was that really Lorne Micheals with Trump?

Safin was hawt back in the day.

What was wrong with Carlos thigh?

R20. Eee Uuu

I'm digging this hair on Carlos

It wasn't his thigh. They had to strap his massive cock down because the flop was just getting in the way, R25.

Safin looks like shit!

Does he have the usual Russian glug-glug problem?

R20, he’s been fighting with them over NATO issues and their general failure to grovel. He’s currently threatening them with huge tariffs, of course.

While I'm happy with who won etc, I think the US Open really fucked up this year and was, all-in-all, organised embarrassingly badly.

I’d fuck Safin. With a Yaltan dildo.

R31 Yeah, it definitely wasn't a vintage year. Very few entertaining matches - particularly on the men's side - after the first few rounds.

Men’s tennis needs to get it together. Why is million-year-old Novak Djokovic cruising to the semifinals in Slams? The men’s tour is filled with flops.

I really thought Sinner would take this. Carlos played great, however.

What a rivalry we have on our hands!

I'm very happy that my boy Carlos won, but I cannot believe that they decided to start with so many people still waiting to get in They made a bad situation even worse by doing that.

Speaking of which, I suspect today is going to be repeated at almost every major sporting event from now on. Trump will, no doubt, pop up at one of the games in the World Series, the Superbowl, the Stanley Cup final, etc. for as long as he lives. And he will no doubt show up multiple times at the LA Olympics (opening ceremonies, at least one or two gold medal matches, probably the football final, closing ceremonies, etc.) if he's still around. And as someone who doesn't buy into the DL thinking that his death is necessarily imminent, that's extremely disheartening. He is in full dictator mode this time around. He demands to always be the center of attention. I think he might even force himself into the next Oscar ceremony just to show his power.

Trump got booed loudly as he stood there smiling and waving.

It's nice that he gets booed, but I'll bet he shows up again at the US Open next year. It's about showing his power and getting back at people who hate him this time around.

Anyway, I so hate that man.

R36 I agree wholeheartedly with you and it is soul destroying. R37 Please tell me that is true.

Two is half of four and not as impressive.

[quote] The men’s tour is filled with flops.

Flopos ATP!

I think I saw the lovely Pam Bondi with the Orange clown and grimacing at the boos.

Why Wimbleton not called British Open and why USA Open not called Queens Club?

The big 3

Intriguing images.

Creepy picture.

I watched the ABC coverage and counted three times Trump was shown, a few seconds each time—once during the national anthem, once toward the end of the match and once as Alcaraz was heading into the stands, the stadium was cheering and applauding and, no surprise, Trump looked unhappy and unpleasant. The commentators noted his presence at the beginning and then, except for showing the people still waiting at the beginning of the second set to get in, because of security, he went unmentioned. No one in the closing ceremony acknowledged his presence, including both players. Boos he can live with, but being mostly ignored, not so much. I’m not sure we will see him next year.

R45 = The Omen 7: Satan's School for Boys

On the other thread it was mentioned he had left by the 4th set. So maybe he wasn’t around anymore to hand out the trophies.

Glad he was gone regardless and glad he was completely ignore at the end.

Sinner and Alcaraz would have been advised by the tournament to not acknowledge Trump in any way what so ever.

And now they spray champagne in locker room....

I thought I saw him when the match ended and was horrified he might present the trophies. Thank god for that.

Funny - MAGAs on X arguing he received a huge ovation when he was shown on the jumbo screen and how much America loves him. They seem a little desperate.

[quote] On the other thread it was mentioned he had left by the 4th set. So maybe he wasn’t around anymore to hand out the trophies.

Someone posted that, but he was there at the end of the match.

Oh. ☺️

Okay, R55

R55 Not only was he there at the end of the match, but looked pissed the brown boy won. Everyone was smiling and clapping. Trump looked pissed. I can't wait until he strokes out.

R57, he was back in his seat at the end; he had that blank dead-fish look. Seeing Alcarez get so much love from the crowd may have hurt him, to the extent he feels anything anymore.

R58 it was beyond a blank dead-fish look. He was pulling disgusted faces. What a nasty man.

Thought it was just me

NYT reporting he was mostly greeted with booing.

He was pissed at the adoration Carlos was receiving Hopefully he will be either dead or too incapacitated to attend next year.

VAMOS CARLITOS!!!!!

On the 6pm news, Ch. 4 in NYC also reported — and showed — Trump being greeted with boos.

Streisand effect.

Jim courrier did a good job actually and he looked good.

Who were the browns, yellows and whites on the men’s side at this tournament?

The U.S. Open is the worst Slam.

Until this year, I ranked USO above AO. But it has slipped to the bottom of the list after this year's tournament. Thank god Wimbledon and RG are holding the line.

But Oz Open is Happy Slam!

[quote] Not only was he there at the end of the match, but looked pissed the brown boy won. Everyone was smiling and clapping. Trump looked pissed.

Shades, so to speak, of Hitler at the 1936 Olympics with respect to Jesse Owens, and not too long until the Olympics Trump will open.

Was enthusiasm down this year?

I've been in NYC for over 20 years, and the number of friends/co-workers who went to/posted on social from the Open is significantly down from last year. I've also noticed a lot of empty seats.

(I watch every day on TV; I can't do humidity — although this year had perfect weather — or afford the sky-high ticket prices, otherwise I'd attend.)

I love the fact that a brown Spanish speaking boy (okay, man) won the USO when the orange shitclown was in attendance. I know Alcaraz isn't Mexican, but it's not like the orange shitstain knows the difference.

I think we will remember how great Carlos was looking wearing that pink tank top and the accidental hairdo also helped.

Trump hates Spain because their Prime Minister said no to him.

One question. I follow some players' IG accounts. Sometimes they post about their hotel (thank you for a great stay type of thing). Does the organization choose their hotel or do the hotels sponsor the players?

Both.

R67, the US Open is now Coachella.

Tis true^

And every third person in Manhattan walks around in that damned blue ball cap.

Carlitos, and Sabalenka, are on the TODAY show this morning.

Sad..

They both looked hot—they are quite the charmers.

…they’d actually make a good tennis couple

Those thighs!

Can someone post the link to Trump's non appalause of Carlos winning USO. Please and TIA

Here you go, R82

It’s EVERYWHERE

[quote] It’s EVERYWHERE

Like Billie Jean.

He has no idea who these tennis players are I bet. He was just angry the white guy didn't win.

He likes G Meloni. He hates P Sánchez. That is all..

Trump looked like someone who was just told he couldn't deport Alcaraz.

Is this shit for real?

Trump looked like someone who was just told he couldn't re-open Alcatraz.

FIFY

TennisCENTEL is a parody account. Sometimes very funny, but quite a few misses.

This^

Will Wuud play the 250s in Chengdu and Hangzhou, or will he be at Laver Cup?

WTA 125! If they’ll take it

Good article at R76. I think all the Slams have their set identity at this point. US Open is the gaudiest and craziest. I still like it, but man the article hit the nail on the head. I know celebs have always had access and there are genuine tennis-loving celebs like Ben Stiller. But the USO and sponsors recruiting certain celebs and influencers to sit in certain locations. Wild. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at all. Everything must be corporatized and monetized to the maximum. The Honey Deuce cocktail as status is just ridiculous. Not that vodka and lemonade isn't a good generic refreshing cocktail. But the name, the price, the fact that people want to post pics while drinking it.

Well done. ^

From the bush leagues in 10001: Ben Stiller? Really! The mighty have fallen…
