Coco and Iga lose early in Stuttgart on their best surface. Their tennis is hardly the only thing coming apart.

I have so little respect. I won't buy it for a single second that they didn't understand the choices they had in that moment, and made their fucking choice.

MAJA CHWALINSKA as THE WASTE LAND by T.S Eliot

and somehow he persists, almost gets pole, but qualifies p4 and gets to the race and cuts down a 10 second gap to his teammate then gets an obligatory double penalty papaya rules style then a safety car happens and the brakes simply stop working they're not inconsistent anymore no they're just not here as in he presses on the pedals and the pedals don't do anything and he goes into the wall at 40 km/h and he's so angry he does the unthinkable of publicly not blaming himself and pointing fingers at the brakes i mean he's got his confirmation loud and clear it is the god damn brakes

only for brembo fucking brakes to release the most disrespectful statement i have ever read which consequently lead us to find out that his teammate has been using different brakes the past four weekends

what even the fuck goes in the ferrari house of horrors

ooooh. omg how to narrow it down?!

OK so, admittedly some recency bias here but lets go with:

ALL of Turin 2025. Just the whole thing. It has been giving and giving and giving and it's been wonderful

Cincinnati 2025 final - just the way Carlos was clearly worried about Jannik and knew he wasn't well

"I see him more than my family"

Shanghai 2024 - with the sharing the plane, Juanki at all of Jannik's matches, Darren and/or Simone at all of Carlos', that moment where every Italian except Jannik was watching one of Carlos' matches, and of course the final. With Carlos watching. I just. Y'know?

And how can we not include Six Kings Slam 2024. With the confetti. And the 'did you just tell us you wake up every day thinking of him'
