*** Official Tennis Thread Pt. 2****

[danitaylor]

If you don't fall in lockstep with the local Nadal cultists, they get a little temperamental about it. Don't worry, it's only a couple of them.

Thanks for the heads-up

[danitaylor]

Aren’t you the one with alts here?

Nope, I think I know who I am.

[euron]

If you want to keep having the GOAT debate then Djokovic comes out on top. I've crunched the numbers every way and only pure delusion puts Federer and Nadal ahead. That doesn't mean I enjoy watching him more than Federer and Nadal but it is what it is.

I think everyone ITT would love to have Federer and Nadal make sweet tennis love and end up tennis GOATs but there is no denying DJoker


Djokovic is an unlikable dude, a boring player and has a tendecy to win matches he has NO business winning. Dude is forged by Serbian civil war and could not give less fukks.


I can't wait for him to fukk off and make the tour interesting again but he has Nadal, Federer and the entire tour in his pocket for about 10 years now.

Did Trudope/Cama just expose himself?

Funny how this thread always devolves into a Nadal shiit talking circle jerk spearheaded by Dominik.

[BroncManiac]

The Return of the King

That backhand down the line on match point reminds me how much I’ve missed Fed. Coming back from a year off and beating an in form Evans who played well the whole match is encouraging.

[Trudope]

Fed blew a match point again?

[Dominik]

39 years old and hasn't played a match in over a year. What kind of miracles were you expecting?

This isn't clay.

as long as he stays healthy should have a shot at wimbledon as long as he doesn't run into novak again

[Dominik]

The game is still there but he's obviously not match fit which is where the confidence comes from. I saw some very promising signs given how long he's been off the tour.

Wimbledon is clearly the primary goal and you can never write him off there. Unlike hard courts his chances improve the lower he's seeded because conditions suit him more in the first week. Let's put it this way. Would you rather Nadal played him in the 3rd round or the final? Ditto for Novak. I think he's got a couple more years to target a win there.

[skinnyfat88]

Novak beats Sinner then loses to Daniel Evans?

Not interested in a semi-final meeting with Rafa this early in the clay court season?

Is Fed planning to play RG?

[Trudope]

didn't realize djokovic wanted another beating before the french. fcking lol

[Dominik]

Strange definition of a "beating."

3 hour match including a 2nd set breadstick for Nadal.

Yes Nadal on his best surface should be beating Djokovic on his worst.

Off clay Nadal has lost the last 10 matches to Djokovic.

Welcome back bro. Any comment on federers loss today? What do you think of his chances at the French?

Fed will be lucky to get past the 4th round at any major other than Wimbledon for as long as he stays on tour.

[skinnyfat88]

Why on earth did RG not seed Rafa 2nd ahead of Medvedev?
Thiem goes out first round as the 4th seed. That side of the draw is wide open.

Osaka fined 15k for refusing media.
Was it coincidence she pulled this at the French Open? Are their reporters more difficult to deal with than most?

[ohiostate124]

Why is she refusing media?

[Dominik]

Imagine if every top player in the draw pulled that stunt? In fact playing is only half the job. Promoting it is the other half. If she's not interested in promoting the sport then dock her 50% of her prize money. She'll start doing press conferences again.

[Dominik]

Thiem OUT.

We have advised Naomi Osaka that should she continue to ignore her media obligations during the tournament, she would be exposing herself to possible further Code of Conduct infringement consequences. As might be expected, repeat violations attract tougher sanctions including default from the tournament (Code of Conduct article III T.) and the trigger of a major offence investigation that could lead to more substantial fines and future Grand Slam suspensions (Code of Conduct article IV A.3.).

[ohiostate124]

She is quickly becoming the female Kaepernick. Good thing for her that she is actually good.

[iabs]

Are we really surprised?

These chick is as Japanese as I am Japanese.

[srom12]

Osaka is a forced meme and will get exposed at Roland Garros. Neg me if she wins.

[Rooney15]

Havent been keeping up with tennis for a while now but saw the french open started. How is djokovich looking? or milos ranic?
