Murray texted Radacanu to ask to play doubles. Texted her at 9pm and was concerned she was going to be asleep 😂

 

She was superb last night.

When you're so much of a conspiracy theorist that you completely misinterpret the Wimbledon crowd. 

 

What a fucking helmet this bloke is.

Covid got people three ways. Some people died from it, some people got long covid or other permanent damage to their bodies, and some people had their brains completely fucking melted by online conspiracies about covid.

 Watched that and was just in awe of the level he can still perform at. But then saw the interview after and even by his prickly standards it was a completely WTAF? moment. He’s an odd one like.

Decent day of sport today tbf.

He's the Cristiano of tennis. Incredibly talented but ultimately failing to hide the homelander level of narcissism he suffers from.

 

He can't understand why he doen't get the respect Federer and Nadal do despite now being more successful. Let's see; a history of faking injuries, suspicious time-outs, tantrums paired with a sense of entitlement and shady off the field antics such as the vaccine debacle and hanging out with questionable Serb politicians. 

 

He's a contemptible prick, fair enough that he's made it work for his career. But then you can't really demand that people like you for it.

I do think he’s the undisputed greatest men’s player though. I kind of feel

for him at times. But for someone who is clearly not stupid he comes out with some stupid shit. I do love watching him play though. 

[aimaad22 4493]

I loved watching him when he first came onto the scene, played great tennis chasing down everything and smashing the ball hard, also had a good sense of humor. Let it all get to his head eventually sadly. 

 

Can't argue against him as the greatest statistically. I think there's one thing about Nadal that's always worth mentioning in this discussion. He bested Federer in his absolute prime at Wimbledon when he was near untouchable. Beaten Novak on hard courts too when at his best. Those two couldn't get anywhere close to laying a finger on prime French Open Rafa though, I mean often they were ridiculously one sided affairs that you'd never associate with these games. That always stands out for me.

He's like Mourinho and Klopp when they started and how they are now.

He does that stupid fucking routine before each serve though so swings and roundabouts 

[Gemmill 48574]

Beaten in straight sets. Suck it! 

[aimaad22 4493]

Ha! This might actually be the right time to bring that violin out Novak. 

[wykikitoon 22073]

Thought he took the defeat well. 

[Alex 36220]

Incredible achievement by Djokovic to make the final only a few weeks after knee surgery. I think he’ll keep going as long as he thinks he has a chance of winning majors. But bar the bit at the end of the third set, when his first serve went missing, Alcaraz was on a different plane. It wasn’t even close until that point

For the past 20 years or so I've regularly put in for the ticket ballot for Wimbledon and got the square root of fuck all back. Tried my luck again and ... well, I've had to read this one several times. 

 

[Gemmill 48574]

Canny.

tbh I've already committed to a fair bit of spend next summer so ordinarily I'd fucked this off ... but as long as I live I'll never get offered these again. This is what credit cards were invented for, right?
