how do I learn to play tennis

>>151677128
Honest answer: You start playing as a kid.

>>151676938
Commentary-less sports can definitely be comfy

I will be avoiding this semen slurping jerk circle fest for sure

It’s over shitz won

>>151678627
The lads... and Kevin Anderson.

>>151677128
Depends on what level you want to get to. You can just start playing and learn intuitively if you want to have fun.
If you want to be competitive and try to get as high level as possible, you may need to sign up for some clinics and learn proper technique. Then buy a ball machine and grind. Youre here so I assume youre an obsessive autist who is reasonably athletic. You will need to invest tons of time into training ball anticipation, proper footwork, swing mechanics, spin, depth, power, etc. Nobody is going to want to play with you 4+ hours/day (from personal experience). Fuck balanced normies. Go balls deep or dont bother.

>altmaier-ruud
Can't go wrong with that match

>>151678627
Whats this all about
These 8 were all in the atp finals at some point? Strange year, 2018?

Time for le cousine du rematch extraordinaire

It's Rinderknover

We're Rinderknback
Wonder if they're nervous playing at home

>Dimtrov vs Medvedev
>Musetti vs Sonego
>Fonseca vs Khachanov
And currently
>Ruud vs Altmaier

My busy work tennis watching schedule for today

>>151685992
In fact, it all went wrong...

Oh damn didn't realise Mahut just retired
>Mahut, 43, won five Grand Slam doubles titles in a career spanning 25 years, but he is best known for losing the longest professional tennis match in history against American John Isner at Wimbledon in 2010.

>>151686268
I figured he'd retired when I saw him in someone's coaching box but I don't remember who
Might've actually been Rinderknech, or maybe Bonzi or one of those other Frenchies

Ruudgoatbros?
What's our cope?

>>151686298
Altmaier is top 50 on indoor hard

>>151686268
>he is best known for losing the longest professional tennis match in history against American John Isner at Wimbledon in 2010.
your legacy is literally a photo next to a smiling giant with you having a "just fuck my shit up" expression

>DJ playing "we are family"
Cheeky

>no music during change over
nice

actually very strong by Altmaier defending that break point.

I hope this family affair play happens more often as tragic as it is for them, very solid matches so far

now its Altmaiers turn to be broken :)

>Rinderknecht match music blasting into the ruud-altmaier match
please stop ruining my slow tv. We dont even play any music during changeovers.

VacheGOAT going to win again

I guess Rinderknech is going to be the Venus Williams of this duo

crapper puud

>Dimitrov withdrew
It's not fair bros

>>151686994
blyat!

>>151686994
He's made of glass

Getting tired of this Vacherot meme

The only players to defeat Vacherot at tour level this year are Fritz, Dimitrov, and Dzumhur
Now the only one left standing in the way of a second Masters is Fritz

>>151687046
Could he beat 08 Nadal on clay?

Fraudix in danger

>>151686994
fuck's sake

>>151687124
Well he lost to Fritz who lost to 22 Nadal on grass so I'm going to say no

>>151686994
>Novak not playing
>Dimitrov retiring
is the unc era over in tennis?

Is Musetti ultimately a kwab, overshadowed by a drugged up apatrid lanklet?

>>151687156
The end is near

>>151687156
He's vulturing some 250 now i>>151687178

>>151687178

HES GERMAN!!!

Zverev is so fucking dumb

Muller you fucking choke artist

>decides to slam a ball most likely going out
>slam it out
>next point: easy volley at the net
>hits the net
>break point
incredible this fraud

>he actually got broken
impressive really

THE Ugo Carabelli

get your apologies for zverev ready bros

>>151687566
Deutschland Deutschland über alles

>>151687811
boggles

Ugo trolled like a spastic and now loses

Bergs in straights

>>151688416
>Bergs in straights
but it takes 3 hours

>>151688416
>Already broken
No

Vacherot slowly turning into a top player, Zverev barely beating Ugo and Altmaier beating Casper. At least we can talk about all of these matches in peace now

>>151688470
I get your point but
Sir, this is atp
I don't want see screenshot of that either

>>151688470
>At least we can talk about all of these matches in peace now
i did not visit /tennis/ outside of slams the past half year or more just because those vile monsters spammed in it, but separate threads changed that completely.

The more I watch Bergs play the more I think he's a fucking retard

I hope the other match starts soon. This is dire

>>151688470
>tennis is doing tennis things
those german posts at the bottom are both yours

>>151688530
he's a Belgian called Zizou, of course he's retarded

I dont like Sonego; he's too swarthy.

>>151689234
>Zizou
Is this a common Belgian or French name?

>>151689303
it's the nickname of that one French footballer

Come on manletet

I just want to see them fight after the match
Or during

>>151689709
pretty calm match so far. Hopefully manletet can get some pressure on Bublik + obnoxious French crowd = Fireworks.

That was the worst overhead I have ever seen from an ATP player

Manletet just yelled "ALLEZ" on a double fault. Trying to get into Bublik's head.

>>151690200
seriously?
Time to watch the two hot heads go at it.

wow in the moutet-bublik game the audience isnt completely dead like in the musetti-sonego game

Bublik is locked in

Oh lol Poosetti lost
Everything is lining up for FAA to sneak into Turin

feels weird thinking of moutet as a good player rather than just a meme

>>151690403
how the ATP has fallen

Moutet looks like a dwarf

>>151690521
Yes, same size as ballboy

>>151690403
he's literally top 30 now

Moutet keeps hitting that stupid short crosscourt volley right to Bublik

Booblick has a ponch

Damn, what a game. Manletet held like 8 break points.

it's over

c'est fini

c'est perdu

RACKET ABUSE!!!

French men shouting sounds really ugly and almost russian.

Did Bublik say
>"to continue"
???

reddit won

I missed the end, did they fight?

why have the less interesting match on center court? pfffff

>>151691087
Cause FAA is FRENCH-canadian

>>151691109
French(African)-Canadian

I wont watch Fonseca-Khachanov.
Fonseca is overhyped and makes way too many errors while playing with Brazilian Favela tier creativity
and the opponent is Khachanov

>>151691087
Shelton and Rublev are both out of form

>>151691139
The most beautiful French

Fonseca has the least Brazilian manneirisms of any Brazilian I ever met/seen(real life or through media).

Fonseca has the aura and the level now.
He does not lose to Kakanov tier players anymore.
Brazilian in 2

Fucking hell Demon you were a double break up

>>151691375
He's from Ipanema in Rio
His family is loaded (in Brazil)

>>151691541
holy shit, what happened, was 5-2 last time I checked.
Sinner broke him

>>151691570
yes that Ipanema
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NldPFVKYmiw

>No. 18 Khachanov was the lowest-ranked player to win a Masters 1000 title since Ivan Ljubičić took the 2010 Indian Wells Masters.

Once upon a time it was exceptional for a player ranked 18 to win a masters.

>>151691655
has anyone done it since, besides CowGOAT?

>>151691764
Popyrin, Coric, Norrie, possibly

>"Here's your new aspiring top player"
>Almost gets bageled by Khachanov

WOW!

Fonseca's mom is so hot

Not sure why the French umpire keeps asking for civil play when they're already quire civil (perhaps not the crowd)

we wta now

>CEO and founder of Brazil's very first hedge fund
Ah of course

>>151692361
>>151692230
>>CEO and founder of Brazil's very first hedge fund
kek yeah, thats his dad.
>players are top 0.01% daddy's princes
we REALLY are becoming WTA

>>151691375
he's a less robotic sinner

>>151692807
he really is.

how do you say it's over in Brazilian

>>151693063
fudeu

FonSMASHa

I don't like the rowdy brazilian fans

damn fonseca fumbled that point

>>151693125
brazilians are tactless and boorish.
One shouldn't engage with them honestly.

K A R E N

too bad
those double faults came at a terrible time

it was always going to be tough for fonseca. he won a tournament last week, played a 3 setter in the previous round and khachanov is the kind of player who doesn't give you free points

Feel like this photo is stretched

>>151695750
Heightist to crop out Opelka

>Only 4 Anglo names in top 50
>1 is a mulatto
What happened?

>wake up
>Demon won
>Fonz lost
Honestly thought it would be the other way around when I went to bed after the second set

>>151701912
Night shift or just NEET? Fonz choked the third set away, Karen was his consistent usual self which was the difference

Norrie all the way for me.
Love New Zealanders

>>151703247
He's Brit thoubeit

>>151703247

Vachekino...

>>151703247
I heard New Zealand is a beautiful place to move to these days.

Wtf was that return position?

https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/tennis/2025/10/30/the-new-saudi-arabia-atp-masters-tournament-and-what-it-means-for-tennis-in-the-middle-east/
Why the fuck is Gaudenzi trying to shift responsibility for February onto Tennis Australia? Why doesn't he just come right out and say that his brilliant idea is to put the Saudi Masters in January where literally nobody except the Sauds want it? He clearly recognises that February is the rational spot to put it but it feels like he thinks it's easier to pressure Australia to give up January than to get Europe and America to give up their spots in the calendar

>>151702405
NEET
Not surprised about Fonz, it's never easy to back up a title run the week before with another good showing the week after, but Karen's been in shit form lately so I thought maybe Fonz could sneak another win

VacheGOAT

>>151703541
Are they seriously not removing any tournament to get this Saudi 1000 into the calendar? Just another tournament for the players to bitch about not getting to rest?
>south american swing
No one but sudacas and clay rats who failed at the AO play the south America swing desu.

The netGOD has decided.

>>151703578
There has been talk about using Saudi money to buy back some smaller tournaments to make room in the calendar but probably most tournament organisers would rather keep their event going
And sure, the golden swing is full of noname clayrats, but it's soulful nonetheless

does vacherot not have any body hair?

>>151703632
>probably most tournament organisers would rather keep their event going
>And sure, the golden swing is full of noname clayrats, but it's soulful nonetheless
yes, Id hate to see soul irrelevant tournaments be foreclosed for peak soulless arab oil shit. plus the saudi event will for sure be another hard court tournament in the already hard court oversaturated schedule.

Vacherot > Norrie > Alcaraz confirmed

Vacherot is top 30 now

Golden swing was particularly fun this year

>>151703705
will be seeded at AO
Fonseca too

Why does he do this?
Seriously why? He stepped on it like 5 times this changeover and put proper pressure on his strings.

>>151703682
>>151703705
its PEDs right?
no 28 year old boomer suddenly wins masters and breaks top 30 just like that

>>151703920
Late bloomer maybe? Like Wawrinka?

>>151703920
No, the level is just as low as never before

These injuries wouldnt happen if they were playing more on clay
>>151704327
please dont post shit like this, or go to the wta thread

FAA makes three comebacks in a row from a set down
Fucking shitters can't finish the job

>>151704552
Altmaier was struggling with some injury and he had some very pathetic swings that probably were from a failing body.

>crowd booing itself

the French have really outdone themselves

I don't hate Shelton because he's black but I do hate the way he shouts whenever he wins a big point, it's so nasal and obnoxious, he sounds like a screaming child

SHELDOR IS BACK

>>151704898
It's ok to hate him because he's black

>>151704423
>Indoor clay season
Make it happen

Alex > Karen
Alex > Shitz

>>151705029
Nah I'm not racist except against Russians and Indians

>>151705057
>Russians and Indians
very understandable. Have a good day.

>>151704898
>hate Shelton
>it's so nasal
Thats why I hate him too. His flaring gorilal nose is revolting
>>151705057
You only say that because you dont have blacks in Australia but plenty of Indians and Russians too perhaps (or just online exposure).

>Bublik
More like Booblick. Cos its fucking gay sport

>>151705176
licking boobs is gay?

Does no one itt speak russian to share what Bublik is ranting about?

>"spasiba blyat"
>hands raised to heaven and looking up
kek

Everyone is so rude to Bublik at the net when hes trying to be kind.

If Bublik wasn't so shit earlier in the year he might have had a chance at the YEC. Ah well.

>>151705235
He's Kazakh

Tired of Fokina and Zverev.
Can any of the other two matches be interesting? We'll see...

Medvedev's hair is too long.
Also, why is the camera angle crooked/tilted as fuck?

>>151705758
they seemed to have fixed it now, was very bad in the 1st game

Into the trash medshit goes again

>>151705659
;)

Why no music? Did they forget to buy a broadcasting license?

arrest him now

>>151705922
Maybe he will just win this as well and then die the next day. Would be kino

>>151705912
its soul and good.
Learn to appreciate it.

Just saw a guy with a Maritimo(2nd tier Portuguese football club) shirt in the stands, very unexpected

this court looks like cement, is it the court that plays the most like it as well?

I didn't know this arena was next to the hypercube

Last year Paris had the fastest courts. The new place seems to be a lot slower

>>151705837
he's winning this

Much better now from Medvedev, agressive.

Meddy has no coaches anymore?
So is he just talking to his wife when he complains that his backhand went straight into the net?

holy choke, could it be...

why is Med always blowing his nose? Does he have some long covid type of thing where hes always sick?

kino

old Meddy that 5-6 point desu

and now double kino from Medvedev to set up the set point

based ambience, based match.
3rd set it goes

Classic Chokina

Horrid

What do you think are the jobs of the old guys sitting behind the baseline? On Zverev sides now the average age there must be 70.
All Parisian bankers?

>>151705502
Gotta wonder if he's two-faced in the locker rooms

WAIT! We are getting another Medvedev - Zverev matchup?

>>151707914
el slurpico

>>151707937
tennis will be terrible, but the mental lost will be beautiful

hopefully my nigga Shelton plays well tomorrow. Based Bublik will spank DeWog, dont care about other matches.

Fonzi pulled out of Greece. Apparently citing a back injury.

For me it's Minaur-Bublik
Hoping for an Aussie win.

Obviously it is Shelton - Sinner. It's the discriminate choice out of today's choosing.

>Shelton-Sinner will be another blowout
>Medvedev-Zverev will be another slurper
Looks like I can sleep early tonight

>>151707937
need to translate this to Russian

>>151714776

Same energy

FAA really exposing Vacherot's weaknesses

>>151715098
cringe and racist.
blackface vibes

Regressed to the mean kek. Anyways, I'd rather see Felix in the finals than Musetti.

>>151715332
isn't this super common?

>>151715332
yerrow man thank you stand up for asian hate

Bublik gonna tap out in the 2nd.

>14% second serve won
Horrid

>>151715989
He's up a break. DeWog is going down.

I want Bublik to win because I don't like De Minaur

this could be over already if he didnt fuck up at 5-4 in the tb

>>151716221
I hate him because of his nickname.
>Hur dur his name starts with De Min, so we have to call him Demon, hur dur

NOOOOOO Alex, think of the advertisers
Actually both are named Alex, this name is overused

>>151716554
Zverev, too

>>151716554
explain. What happened?

kwab

>>151716585
No, his name is Sascha :3

De Manure

what a retard kek
im so much better than deminaur

>>151716615
Just a really loud "What the FUCK" on the mics

>>151716627
For me it's Sasha

>>151714651
At least we get one good match today

Based boob lick

>>151715171
The mental keeps players out of top 100

>First ever Masters 1000 semi final
a lot of boomers making Masters 1000 breakthroughs recently :)

I for one hate my mom

Only one point difference
Impressive to get that many winners past Doodoo Minaur

Bublik has such a terrible beard.

To me he looks like Dimitri Karamazov

Will Bublik go to Turin as backup with FAA because Draper is out injured?

>>151716723
I like your mom

>>151716775
Felix guaranteed since Mushitty lost to a fucking genuine clayrat

Sinner when he's losing

:/

:)

Shelton looks so pathetic versus Sinner.

How do you say vamos in Ebonics?

>>151717714
LE'S GOOOOOOOO!

€5 on Sinner winning the final

>>151717782
how much does that give u?

>>151717813
€5.10

pretty big h2h

Firing Gilles was the best decision Medvedev seems to have made.

>Streams now have commentators and ads
Ambient tennis was nice while it lasted.

kek this doesnt feel like a genuine match. Its like some exhibition where we get to see old Medvedev (clearly worse than old Medvedev) and Zverev with mental weakness losing ungracefully.

>>151717852
>pigeoned by medvedev in 2025

>we're even getting a Zverev injury
literally peak Zverev emulation

Born to be a cuck, forced to be a tennis player. The Sasha Zverev story

We have a match

Yes, win a set so the inevitable third set collapse is even more draining on Zverev's mental.

>>151718427
cope

kek scared his wife away.

>>151718587
evidently. The meltdown was on Medvedevs side

yelling at wife works evidently

The netGOD has slurped

kek what a point

>>151718815
It is STARVING for action tonight

this is slurp kino

serves are reaching WTA speed levels

VAMOOOOOOS ZVEREV

It's happening!!!
Everybody stay calm

kwab

Zverev plays just like me

Bros this is our cha-
>This is a no short kings zone.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OH NO NO NO

Based Z

We did it, huge night for this community.
After 2 years of hurt

zverev really needed that one

Its the Zverev era now

>also
really pathetic how even with a new coach Medvedev still has the sarcastic rage towards his box when his "strategies" dont work

>>151719139
he's a manchild, like Kyrgios.
He can never do any wrong, always someone else's fault.

Congratulations Sasha, Sinner will take your soul again tomorrow

>>151719139
>Medvedev winning even the clay matches

>>151719139
'kin 'ell it was more grim than i thought, 1 win in 10 before today

Tomorrow is a free money day again. The odds are not out yet, but betting less than 50k on a Sinner two sets win is basically hating money

>>151719319
Sinner's bound to lose someday, no?
To someone other than Alcatraz...

>>151719060
imagine trying to tame that beast

>>151719355
He did in Shanghai. Zverev won't beat Sinner

>>151719060
Who wants to date an ugly WTA bitch?

But I'm proud of Sascha, he wasn't a bald fraud today

>>151719355
It's possible but unlikely. Not counting Shanghai his last non Carlos HC loss was Rublev last season

>>151719187
those were such pathetic humiliating losses as well.

It's out

>quadrupled down on Medvedev after first set
Kms

Bet 30k on Sinner or if you're brave 2k on Zverev

>>151719881
So, for you>>151720039

>>151677113 (OP)
What a great pic. OP.

>>151719060
Biggest karen in sports.

Pavvy is relentless.

>>151720295
This nigger is so retarded. Sinner's baseline game is fucking unreal.

>>151720134
Yes I like it too

>wake up
>Zverev won
Is Big Z back?

>>151728537
Only if he beats Sinner

>>151728537
On his way to win RG26, what an arc

>>151729092
I dont know. He’ll be 29 then. That’s a bit old for someone to win Roland Garros who’s not named Nadal

>>151729576
Stan was 28

>>151729705
Case in point. Thank you.

>>151729092
>>151729092
Zverev won't win a Slam he's too old and certainly no Gimeno or Ivanišević
Djokovic is more likely

>>151729710
Wait, I'm wrong. He was 28 for AO '14. He won RG '15 at 30.

Here is the list of players that were older than 29, winning their first Slam, nobody won more than ONE

Andrés Gimeno (Spain), 1972 French Open June 4, 34 years, 306 days

Andrés Gómez (Ecuador), 1990 French Open June 10, 30 years, 3 months, 14 days

Petr Korda (Czech Republic), 1998 Australian Open February 1, 30 years, 11 days

Goran Ivanišević (Croatia), 2001 Wimbledon July 9, 29 years, 290 days

>>151729921
Based Gimenez

Who takes this first semi?

Jack Draper, now that was a player.

>>151729949
I think Felix will take it

>>151729769
Joke of Bitch will never be fit enough to win again, even if Alcaraz and Sinner get injured. You can't be a soft "load management" guy then all of a sudden expect to make it through all the matches of a grand slam. If he played a full schedule and only missed a few tournaments, sure.
He wants to have his cake and eat it too. Not going to happen, even with his talent and skill.

>>151730051
i still have hope for him desu

Wow Bublik get your shit together

>>151729921
At this point I'm sure Zverlingz would love just the one.

>>151730516
Would be dangerous. He will probably completely collapse like Thiem, if he ever wins one

>>151730595
Could see it happen. Still, what eould be better, winning a slam at 29, and retire at 30.
Or continuing in a good but decaying level, winning 2 or 3 extra masters and calling it quits at 35

>>151730488
He must have heard you

Why are there so many Chinese women in the audience?

>>151730693
Kek nvm

It's time Zedbros, we have nothing to lose, and a lot to win

kek already

Yep. Time to make dinner

Yeah I'm thinking Z's back
Back to Hamburg

At this point you have to feel sorry for him
I bet he was just starting to feel confident after pushing Sinner to three in Vienna and then beating Medvedev for once
When was the last time he got bageled?

Nobody believed Zverev could beat Sinner, but he's even worse then expected

The state of russian players

>>151732884
Yeah, our german player is showing the russian who's boss :^)

Holy shit Zv*rev held, please clap

Its over, Zbros

I hope portubro listened to me and enjoys his 5k

Of course the cheat can only get YE1 by vulturing the indoor season after getting his cheeks clapped by Carlos all year long.

It was a solid career but diabetes isn't getting better with age. Sasha should play next year his last season and retire like all the other has beens

Historical levels of beatdown

didn't watch, brutal scoreline

At least it wasn't the final

>>151733523
why do I see this guy under sinner's head

>>151720295
Nadal was 10 times, Djokovic & Alcaraz 5 times and Murray 3 times the doper Sinner is.

What a brutal scoreline for Zverev. That's humiliating as can be.
No, I dont think Zverev is on track to win RG26 btw.
>>151730858
It's Paris. I think 90% of the chinese expats in France live in Paris and they are all daughters and Chinese factory owners.

>>151731707
BWAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHA

Honestly, Felix pushed Sinner in US Open I believe. Maybe we will get another good game for these finals. Felix is an indoor hardcourt vulture somewhat himself as well.
Best possible outcome.

>>151730516
Its never gonna happen

Has Zverev done his press conference yet? I want to hear his cope, or perhaps his seethe

>>151734597
yeah for sure and Felix has a bad record against Zverev so this is much better

DOYERS WON

He's a baseball fan? Or just a casual that tuned in?

What's after this? Just that Greece tournament until the yec?

>>151765115
Athens and Metz this week, Turin next week, Davis Cup the week after, and NextGen the week before Christmas

>>151762089
No one outside of the 5 baseball nations has any idea how that sport works or why people find it entertaining.

>>151765250
He was up at 3 in the morning making tweets about the game. Clearly enjoying it even as a casual.

>>151765196
>Metz this week,
Yeah knew I was forgetting something. Also totally forgot about David Cup.
>No Sinner for Italy
New winner this year maybe.

Can the whitest nigga in tennis defeat the doper?

>>151765591
nah

>>151765591
FAA is not a Doper and yes Sinner will win

It's already over

Here's how Felix can still win:

Was good while it lasted.
Is Sinner the hard court goat? Some next level domination

>>151766027
>Is Sinner the hard court goat?
Not yet, Djokovic and Federer are still way ahead

>>151766045
I am talking about peak performance. Sinner has 3 HC slams right? Could see him reach Fed's 11 or Djoker's 14. Ee will see as you say, too soon.

>>151766045
kys faggot

Here's how Jannik can still win:

What a fucking lob

Well at least he's doing better than Zverev (for now)

Félix is not scared anymore

Sinner is German and Felix is English American. deal with it moids

nice point by Sinner for 40-0

>Sinner backhand average speed 131kmh
Christ. Maybe I should be playing a two handed backhand

oh my god stop talking during the points
who is this woman

Felix how about you smash the fucking ball bro

>>151766101
Don't be so angry. Did your daddy touch you again?

The breaks between the points are way too long. It takes away a lot of the physicality when you get more than 30 seconds of a breather before the next point.
And ban players getting more than two balls before their serve. No more playing around with 3-4 balls in your hand to buy time.

>>151766461
>the german never played
Post stupid rule's ideas

thoughts on that tree trophy?

>>151766518
I play a lot, and most likely way more than you. There should be a seriously time clock difference between a potential 2 set match done in 1 hour 10 minutes and a 5 set match which takes 4 and a half hours.

>>151766461
We're in this weird phase of tennis where
>balls are too slow (both guys today have thrown away 2 balls each for being too flat)
>courts are too slow
>rackets are too strong
>athletes are too strong
So the entire game revolves around power and athleticism, which means you need to be in insane shape and be injury free to compete, and even then you're grinding sprint points against someone just as physically fit as you. It's a punishing sport. After some points, 20 seconds isn't near long enough.
>>151766559
I want one

>>151766559
shit. On a tour with many bad trophies its one of the worst

Good for Felix, he might wins a break point if he has a chance

>>151766027
cazzies thought i was trolling when i said he was

>>151766600
>>balls are too slow (both guys today have thrown away 2 balls each for being too flat)
>>courts are too slow
I'd like more objective opinions on this and not the hot head players going through some mental crisis perhaps (I never hear Sinner complaining about balls and courts getting too slow). If this is true then this needs to be seriously addressed by the officiating body.
>>151766600
>After some points, 20 seconds isn't near long enough.
Good. It should show that the serving after the second deuce is really straining (which it is).

Felix and Sinner have kind of the same physique

Danielle is based, desu. Always finds a way to make people seethe.

>>151766880

Felix is awake

>>151766902
indeed. Slight difference in the skin, hair and eye color. But thats not what I meant.

>>151766902
sinner is a robot, doesnt count

>>151766600
Sinner tossed another ball away

>throws away another ball
Chinese rubber ruined this sport

Didn't this start with covid or something? The shit quality of the balls that is.

>>151766902
Felix is not black, he's a mulatto

>>151766994
thats whats said by the players but the production companies deny any changes occurring.

>>151766815
Sorry Carlos, based Danielle is racist and will produce only White kids.

imagine what could beee
cobenfy

Felix in 5

Here we go

>>151767019
You said you play a lot, yes? Have you noticed worse quality these past few years?

Sinner's really growing more confident with his dropshots, using them at important moments like this and not just when he's way ahead and playing against a shitter
Too bad variety is about more than just dropshots but speed, spin, height, placement, angles, and so on

>missed the forehand wide
That's the match. Calling it here.

felix makes such dumb unforced errors

Sinner is genuinely the GOAT. Wrap it up.

Damn, was hoping he'd take a set at least.

To put things in perspective, Felix won ten times as many games today as Zverev did yesterday

Welcome back to the top Jannik. Fuck Grug, fuck Spain, fuck clay. Forzaaaaaa

>>151767096
Honestly, not much during covid because my playing partner and I have sorted out many brands and balls already by then as bad and unplayable (Wilson usually is being the worst). So, maybe I just missed out on those brands deteriorating then.
However, I used to love the Dunlop Fort balls, but since they changed to these "climate green" cans the balls have also changed and gotten seriously worse.

I definitely trust the players saying the balls have changed too much.

a great win for Sir Jannik Hanspeterson Sinner, truly Italy's best.

Felix looks a bit destroyed.

>>151767197
Just put the pizza in the oven, Luigi

>>151767224
Reminds me of the black guy from John Wick 2 sitting on the train seething with a knife in his chest

>>151767197
Alcaraz was not even two months back on top again, and he won two slams this year. These two dominate this sport.

>>151767202
My favorites are Dunlop ATP and Wilson Titaniums. They have great pop and retain bounce for a long time. I hate Penns the most.

>>151767188
kek

>>151767282
>I hate Penns the most.
They are absolute trash. Never had a Penn/Head ball I liked.

>bringing in Yannick Noah to award the trophy
They really had no faith in Felix huh, they knew they were getting Yannick and Jannik

Ginger bot has to vulture the indoor season feasting on mugs and washed up players in an attempt to steal the YE1 from the objectively superior player who whooped his ass in 4 out of 5 matches this year, a truly prideless performance from a prideless player.

>>151767385
Boo hoo Romania

>>151766027
The only ATG in this era who ain't even that good (yet) on HC leads Sinnermug 7-2 on his turf rofl. Gingerbot is only the GOAT of vulturing against weak era mugs, that's it.

>>151767546
Cope. He cleans up.

>>151767209
Kek

Alcaraz can regain #1 if he advances from the group I think.

I'm no fan of dopiner, but you have to admire his ruthlessness and his take no prisoners approach to winning it all. This is embarrassing for the rest of the tour ( I'm talking to you grug).

>>151768830
ruthless dedication to the sport

>Machac withdrew from Metz
When was the last time this guy actually played tennis, he must be at double digit walkovers/retirements this year

>>151768830
i do respect that. watching alcaraz sometimes feels like cheating because he's so talented. there's an appeal to rooting for a guy who has to do everything correctly to keep up.

>>151772515
>watching alcaraz sometimes feels like cheating
i meant rooting for him

>>151766744
Probably puts out on the first date.

Kneel.

>>151776215
i dont get it

>>151776215
I like how contrived and generic that is. Sinner has no personality so they can't really do anything there.

The Spanish shitter was gifted 3 months of free reign and still couldn't hold #1 for more than a few weeks.

>>151772515
>a guy who has to do everything correctly to keep up

Rent free.

>>151782378
don't know what's rent free about my post since i don't dislike either of them. it's clear that alcaraz is the more talented player and sinner is the one more obsessed with improving. you're taking it as a negative which wasn't intended

Pity bump. One of the mulattos needs to win a slam so Jews put money into this sport again.

>>151776215
meh

>>151782830
You’re either trolling or just stupid if you think Alcaraz isn’t obsessively working to improve like in the screen I posted. Sinner’s talent surpasses Alcaraz by a mile since he wasn’t even training properly until 14 and constantly improves. His very rapid improvement is a clear sign of superior talent whereas Alcaraz improves at the pace of a snail because or his inferior talented and obsessive work ethic. Remember it is Sinner with the rotation of girlfriends and various hobbies of passion (skiing, F1, etc) whereas Alcaraz just gets drunk twice a year with JCF’s permission.

>Foregoing the ATP Cup, Bane, etc for this a week before the AO
CRINGE

Considering Alcaraz has been massively more doped than Sinner this year, yet Sinner is the one who has to serve a 3 month ban for doping, it would be a disgrace to the sport if Alcaraz ended the year #1.

I thought tour-level tournaments had requirements around stadium capacities and whatnot, this just looks like some dank-ass Challenger

Also, I would call Nadal the sickest joke in sports this century (due to doping of course) and one of the sickest in history. Djokovic is also well in the top 10 in this category, but considering he only started in 2011 and it was somewhat of a response to the Nadal joke, he doesn't reach quite the top.

>>151789641
definitely looks more amateur

>>151789328
Money talks

>>151782344
The only reason Ginger AI isn't still banned to this day it's cause they needed him for a rivalry with Alcaraz (which is still failling at btw), sit down.

oh hey, Stan is playing

>>151791057
40 year old boomer still playing 250s, respect.

Djokovic is in Athens? After skipping Paris? What the fuck is he doing

>>151791122
there's no way he wins though

>>151791152
I just tuned in. Why is he down 1-5

>>151791144
It's his home tournament now that he lives in Greece. It's replacing Belgrade.

I'll go to the Athenian ATP on Wednesday, was hoping to see Stan but by the looks of it he'll be done after today

>>151791170
coz he's a 40 year old boomer than is challenger level these days

What a lazy dropshot

Stan's just going through the motions. He's thinking of the teenage girls he can chat up after the match.

>>151791642
Wouldn't you if you were a washed up grand slam champ

>>151791696
yes of course

LET'S FUCKING GO STAN

good news Hellas bro

>>151792365
>mussetti vs stan
We eating good bros
Hopefully the schedule is not too retarded, I can only attend the night games I'll be at work before that

I took a nap before Stan's match, woke up a bit late and saw he had lost the first set, figured there was no way he'd have the stamina to make a comeback and there was nothing else worth watching so I just went back to sleep
Kind of regretting it now

>>151776215
pure Italian excellence

sinner is more consistent and works harder than alcaraz

but its for that reason he will never be goat

alcqraz is laffing in background
alcaraz cab repeatedly shit bed and still end up mogging sinner

absolutely mental

kalinskaya also revealed tell tale incormation about sinners mental state

obsessed

give it a few years and alcaraz will mentally break him from trying to keep up with alcaraz and failing

>4 italians in the top 30
we were a tennis nation after all

>Enter tournament
>See your opponent (it's HIM again)
>Nope.png
Top kek

>>151795138
Agree on kalinskaya calling sinner a depressive obsessive. Binner takes this shit seriously, carefully planning and skipping tourneys, well prepared, and you can tell he remains focused and committed throughout the match. Grug will play any exho that pays him well, flirt with raducanus on a grand slam doubles tourney and he gets flustered when shit is not going his way (e.g. wimbledon final, paris masters 1st round loss). The paris master's 1st round little meltdown before the beginning of the 3rd set was very telling, it's almost as he just wanted to go play golf and needed an excuse.

>>151795239
Iconic baggio, if musetti was goat then maybe another italian icon. Binner is too goofy looking to be this iconic.

>>151795613
Probably more to do with him being out of contention for Turin but I also chuckled when I saw it
Apparently starting next year these 250s won't count for Turin which is good because it complicates the race and people always drop out once they know they are or aren't qualified which is shit for both the tournaments and the fans

>>151795755
this anon >>151789134 tried to gaslight me but it's obvious that sinner takes it more seriously

>>151796052
Interesting, if that was enforced years ago, Ruud would never have been the guy he is today lol

>>151796238
That bong is a dumbass, Binner himself has admitted in press conferences that he is not as talented as Grug.

>>151796381
Some will always be more talented, but if you want to be a great champion no one should ever out work you. Grug can have all the talent in the universe but if he doesn't work like Sinner then Sinner will be better. Kyrgios comes to mind for this exact case

Tick tock Djovak

You guys do realize doping doesn't count as talent?
