let's see what's coming

cobolli, whose style is similar to carlos', having indoor hard court merchant faa as his pidgeon

the fact that no matter what happens in the final, adriano panatta will see an italian on that podium next sunday

jcf and carlos split happening not even a week after pietrangeli's death, because tennis gods knew we needed someone who could deliver unhinged replies to interviewers <3

also and not unrelated but this rg is another nail in the coffin of the 90s gen atp players. it's no coincidence that the last ones standing in the qfs are berrettini, who is at the stage of his career where he plays like a man with nothing to lose, and zverev who is simply too strong to lose in the early rounds.

being n. 1 in the wta right now is a bit like being hugh capet of france. aryna is secure in her power, but she knows that she's not strong enough to completely dominate those powerful vassals who have already won multiple slams, the 30-something feudal ladies who are capable of making deep run in big tournaments and upsetting the big candidates, the ambitious teenage knights who already have the tools to win big titles. and then there's always the occasional pirate who comes to the shores to plunder and kill the reigning champion. but this also means that levels remain quite clear amidst the fragmentation of power. meanwhile the atp is ruled like the ancien régime, where castes exist but everyone, from aristocrats to paupers, is equally subjected to the royal family. and now that the kings are down almost anyone has a shot at becoming napoléon.

matteeeeooooo

oh but i've never noticed before the resemblance between roger and carlos moya

wondering if jannik will ask darren to stay another year for both cgs and moral support (he needs someone in the entourage who likes laila's posts about her tanning product)

i don't care about jodar's bad manners but i've yet to see him give his best against a worthy opponent

among other things, juanma cerundolo showed how it's done to those comms who after the ao semis protested that zverev was receiving an unfair backlash online because playing against an injured opponent is very hard

supertennis today wanted to rub salt in the wounds of the sinneristas by broadcasting the rg '24 semifinal, also known as the first match of the sincaraz divorce era

we could've had it all (sinnettini reunion in r4) but you played it to the beat (now matteo will have to avenge his husband against cerundolino)
