They shut John Cain Arena's roof and blasted the air conditioner around 2:30ish (assuming that's when they did it for Rod Laver and Margaret Court arenas based on the internet seethe).Anywho, Musetti/Mahac was a bloody good match, and Stan's last stand was deafening in there and a highlight for life.

>>153121715Not any more.
I see Djokovic was had a full dope rage melty today, pathetic. Disgraceful desu for the tour to actively protect GOAT dopers like him and Alcaraz.
If Casper hears his wife is giving birth he will pull out……. Heh………. Ironic…….//…..
Ruud goat
>>153121746He should have been giving a warning at least for that shot at the ball girl.Disgusting feral Serb
>it was 40-0
/tennis/ told me only zoomers choke
>Wiffs it that hard on a terrible forehand wtf? Id say rigged if this were a normal match
胜利!!!!!录的!!!!我爱你妹
>>153121746What did he chimp out about this time I didn’t see the match
>>153121774They also need boomers to choke so sad
>I'll be home soon ;)Is he planning to lose
>>153121824gotta give it to you boomers,you always have a crafty response ready to go
>>153121837I appreciate that you respect your elders
>>153121770Well, at least he's close to retiring, Alcaraz is the true menace, almost Nadal levels of dope, no fatigue affecting level of play experienced in his career yet. Truly not a human being.Feel bad for Sinner desu, I think he's probably on smth too but not in the same universe as these two clowns, dude would've not lost so many matches to Alcaraz bc of fatigue diff and wouldn't be constantly cramping if he had their program.
>>153121851what is this autism? you really think alcaraz has some secret designer PED concoction that sinner doesn't?
>>153121870Alcaraz has the Nadal brand ped, Sinner has the Djokovic brand. It’s that simple.
>>153121870Please don't tell me you're asking this question seriously?
What have we learned from this round?Sinner = beatableSinner + establishment = unbeatableThis dopey drug head needs to get banned or tear his acl. Same goes for the polish trans igor
>>153121908yeah it's best if you don't elaborate it's fine
>ridiculously miniscule trace amounts of substance>HE'S A DOPERFuck off, swiss pumpkin head.
>alcaraz has better PEDs>sinner is a doper alcaraz isn't>sinner isn't a doperthree people with different takes and all are equally retarded
I wonder how many years of Alcaraz playing with by far the most energy, while at the same time not feeling fatigue that would affect his game, and how many matches will he have to win against Sinner, where he is the worse tennis player, but eventually wins bc Sinner feels fatigue and can't keep his level up while he has no such problem, before people start wondering if he just might be doping. I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up, after all there are people who watched Nadal his whole career and Djokovic since 2011 and think they didn't dope. Humanity truly is cooked.
>>153121918Nothing is more cringe than le heckin establishment conspiracy theories
>>153121956i'm pretty sure that anon is a djokovic hater as well, it's perfect irony
>>153121949you can fuck off too slovakia
>>153121942>Normal players with miniscule trace amounts of substanceBanned for several years (probably end of the career) + losing all sponsors>sinner with miniscule trace amounts of substanceGets protect and the news doesn't becomes public, then id allowed to choose when he should get banned (of course its between two gs), no point reduction, punishment is a joke.
>>153121980What does federer's ass taste like?
>>153121956After everything that happened before and now today, how can you still be that blind?
>>153121975shut up new zealandomg this bants thing is awful
>>153121997Lmao no arguments. Go watch cricket fag.
>>153121949You've seen both of them play right? Please elaborate, what in their playstyle and physical attributes would indicate Sinner dopes more than Alcaraz? Sinner: improving quickly in his early 20s (don't think he's currently clean btw)Spanish method: Nadal best athlete in sport's history (at the time) at 19, Alcaraz the best athlete in the sport at 19, both (especially Nadal ofc) not resembling anything like what a tennis player should be in a conventional sense.
>>153121980Billionth of a gram. Commensurate with contamination by a cream. Sinner WILL easily blow past federer.
>>153122017>what in their playstyle and physical attributes would indicate Sinner dopes more than Alcaraz?never said that
>>153121973Nolefam and whatever the sinner speds call themselves are equally delusional. Makes for great X chimp outs.
>>153121973NoVaxx is the fakest player on the tour. He will never be the goat>>153122023It doesn't matter. Same rules for all... but the establishment protects its own.
>>153122029the two groups hate each others guts yet they're so similar
>>153122014ok mountain jew
>>153122042Yes it is greatly amusing
>>153122036horseshit. common sense came to the fore.
>>153122025So what is your point? Or do you have one? Surely it's clear doping tests have 0 value to anything in tennis, RAFAEL NADAL NEVER TESTED POSITIVE FFS.
>>153122071my point is a boring one but it's the only reasonable one - they're two elite athletes who have access to the best stuffif two people have different levels of physicality when they're not on PEDs, the same would apply if both were on
>>153122067>A player can't get MTO because of cramping,he either play or loose.>Match doesn't stop during the game to close the roof.>The heat index wasn't high enough to close the roof.>To remove cramp you need a quick massage-can't be done during the game,so close the roof Bias is obvious
>>153121366Would Sinner have any chance against the big 3 in their prime? I feel like he is Murray tier. He would have been bludgeoned until they got injured. Alcaraz would have been right there with them on hard court. He would have lost to djokovic and Federer consistently on grass. He would have gotten raped by Nadal on clay like all the rest.
who else>ohbhin real life?Me, i switched to one hander couple of years ago, never looked back
>>153122099>Would Sinner have any chance against the big 3 in their prime?NoVaxx? SureNadal? No rafa is the better doperFederer? Lmao no way
>>153122111A 36 year old Djokovic was able to beat Sinner. A 24 year old djokovic would have treated him like Murray in most grand slam finals.
>>153122111How come Roger Federer could not beat a teenage Nadal on clay? Nadal didn't even have a service game back then. Feels like Federer rode a wave from 2003-07 that crashed when djokovic and Nadal came of age.
>>153122156Against certain players NoVaxx is a mental midget. Dopey sinner is on of them
>>153122104i have no backhand just a slice
>>153122218A real American
>>153122185Novak has a winning record against literally everyone from 2011-2023, except for a couple memers who only played him 3 times.
>>153122180
>>153122218Are you 60 years old?
>>153122240kek it's the infamous cope graph, haven't seen someone bust it out in a while
>>153122087It was 43C, dipshit. He wasn't the only player affected by it.
>>153122241no just bad
>>153122239See >>153122240>>153122254The only ones coping are the NoVaxx family.>>153122255Yeah go eat vegemite sandwich. Tennis isn't for you.
>>153122185Wow, Sinner has a dominating 6-4 record against 35-38 year old Djoker. What a mental edge. Surely he would have beaten a 24 year old Djoker who was beating Nadal in six hour matches at the AO.
>>153121952>how many matches will he have to win against Sinner, where he is the worse tennis player, but eventually wins bc Sinner feels fatigue and can't keep his level up while he has no such problemWelcome to 5 set tennis.
>>153122279I accept your concession. We're done here.
>alcaraz cramping in the FRENCH Open kwab
>>153122279cope about what? i mean, novak has the most everything, and even if he didn't you best believe i wouldn't cope about it. when it was looking like nadal would win the goat debate in 2022 i was ready to accept it, you're still clinging on to crumbs when debate doesn't even include federer realistically
>>153122180what is a match up?
>>153121952Federer was doped to the gills by age 27. 95% of professional athletes are on a substance since like 1985.
>>153122290Sure first answer this >>153121980>>153122320Ask 100 people on the street who the goat is. 80% will say NoVaxx might have won the most but he isn't the goat. The goat is and always was and always will be Roger "the King" Federer.
>>153122349Prove it.
>>153122023This is true so Sinner can't be considered to be a real doper but the accusation that top players are protected when guilty of the same infraction as lower ranked players is just usual practice by the tennis establishment.
>>153122357the ironic response is basically a concession
Why are you guys responding to that faggot? Forget about him. Leave him alone
>>153122375Ironic or not. It's a fact. The only people claiming NoVaxx is the goat are serbs, indians and some chinese bots on twitter.
>>153122357At least 80% of the population are midwits or retarded like you.
>>153122282They won't like this post
>>153122392and the one and only gill gross, that alone is enough
Wow struggling to beat Murray and Fraudal on your pet court, that is surely the benchmark
>>153122392It's not a fact. Many people don't even watch the sport and if they looked at the stats they would choose Djokovic. The only ones picking Federer are doing it for political and emotional reasons i.e. they're gay yuropoors.
>>153122444i thought you were a nadal glazer
>>153122392this is true I'll give you that
>>153122282>needing 6 hours to defeat Nadal on HCSinner would've dusted him in 2.5 hours.
That one pic of Sinner grinning next to Dimitrov at Wimbledon is the one and only funny application of AI in history. Someone needs to do something like that for the Spizzirri match
>>153122452>political reasonsthe heckin establishment keeps doing this
>>153122480
>>153122452>others peoples judgments are biased and politicalHah
>>153122484That's the one
>>153122452>The only ones picking Federer are doing it for political and emotional reasons i.e. they're gay yuropoors.But you aren't lmao.
>>153121561
>>153122504there's one where he laughs with his mouth wide open but i think this one is funnier
Fact: nobody is ever touching Djokovic's 428 weeks at #1 record. Fact: The only way anybody passes Djokovic in slams is because they didn't play in an era with two other legends competing against them, which makes their accomplishments null and void anyways.
>>153122457I was a Murray fan, I’m biased against all of them. Probably Rafito least so though true.
>>153122484>yeah, we're done here
>>153122516Yeah that one is too far.
>>153122529Now do consecutive weeks which is way harder.
>>153122472Just like he dusted some random American in 4 hours in round 3 this year? lol, Djokovic didn't even break a sweat until the finals of the AO in his prime.
>>153122516
as a proud australian, do i get behind maya joint or not? (figuratively, obviously.)
>>153122513Phwoar probably a top 2 image of a young red haired female tennis fan in a tennis crowd desu
>>153122557Why do you insult Gilles Simon and Stan Wawrinka like this?
>>153122533i wouldn't have guessed you were a murray fan because you're so critical of novak's tennis
>>153122562This one is just to obviously AI. The other one is a bit more subtle.
>>153122552It's not way harder. It's way easier. You just need to catch a period where the legends have retired and the new elites aren't quite ready like 2003-2007. What's hard is reaching number 1 when your skills diminish. That's the mark of a true GOAT.
>>153122529But that's how djokovic passed Federer/Nadal's slam counts. It will happen again.
I can only relate to you cunts when I'm drop dead drunk
>>153121870>you really think alcaraz has some secret designer PEDyes. But Sinner also has PEDs
I don't like this swiss chap. His seethe towards some players is too intense. Very unbecoming.
Just bought a new racquet. Head Galaxy Tour. How high will my UTR go to now?
>>153122598Marin? Botic? STAN? Which of today's Tennis failures getting black out drunk are you?
>>153122596>You just need to catch a period where the legends have retired and the new elites aren't quite readyLmao you're exactly describing NoVaxx. They really need to stop handing out h2b visas.
>>153122633He clearly lived through federer vicariously
>>153122636> Just bought a new racquet. Head Galaxy TourNice. post pic.And what strings?
>>153122597They won't like this post
>>153122633I'm not seething. I love tennis and certain players (sinner, NoVaxx, nadal, kyrgi, igor, osaka) hurt the sport. They should get bullied and retire.
>>153122643>StanTake that back Stan is an unsung hero. An honorary strayan
>>153122658It's in the post.Technifibre multifilament
>>153122597Djokovic played in the hardest era ever in tennis history 08-15. He has quantity and quality wins. Right now Sinner and Alcaraz just have quantity. They don't know what it feels like to have to beat two absolute freaks in a row at the semis and finals.
>>153122646Faggot, Novak was in his 30s and Federer was smack dab in his prime when tennis parted like the Red Sea in talent. It's very different situations. A 23-27 year old Djokovic would have done exactly what Federer did in the mid 2000s except he wouldn't have bitched out to a teenage Nadal at the French.
>>153122685>They don't know what it feels like to have to beat two absolute freaks in a row at the semis and finals.Novak was the last one to beat both of them in the same tourney. I really can't picture anyone doing that right now.
>>153122685>They don't know what it feels like to have to beat two absolute freaks in a row at the semis and finals.So, since its the big 3 one got a free ride into the finals everytime and only face the competition there?Kinda sounds like Sincaraz era>>153122678>Technifibre multifilamentyou're not a zoomer most definitely, or why go for such strings. I don't think a single pro uses multifilament strings>It's in the post.?
This thread is moving way too fast, please some of you abandon, and go to /tennis/.Let's discuss the night ahead of us, we are now at the best round of a slam, perfect quantity and good quality of matches
>>153122685right so he had 12 slams then, so is that the real slam record now?
>>153122750Definitely not a zoomer thank the Lord. I pity the lot of those poor bastards tbqhbbqI'm just curious about multifilament strings. If they're shit i'll oust them.It's mail order.
>>153122723*taps picrel* >>153122240Look I get it. It must've been magical watching NoVaxx clinch a gs victory while you were standing outside a crowded bar in mumbai hustling watches to tourists. I can see how his win made you believe in a better future. And hey you did it! You got to the usa. But just understand for the rest of us NoVaxx will never be the goat.
>>153122777Want:>Paul>Medvedev>Zverev>MinaurWill get:>Alcaraz>Tien>Zverev>Minaur
>>153122791if we wanna get into that territory the record is 15 unvultured slamsnadal (15) > djokovic (14) > federer (7)
>>153122801Bublik will beat flushed away.
>>153122777Alcarazhonestly a coin flipZverevBublik>>153122795>I'm just curious about multifilament stringsMy google search told me its for easily bruised arms. If it protects your elegant backhand ability then go for it, Stan.
I like novaxx because he novaxxed. Simple as.
>>153122801I would not sleep on Bublik. And DeMinaur is autistic enough to sprint after all his drop shots + lobs.
>>153122838I'm so bruise-prone that my parents were questioned by child services when I had to go hospital as a kid for an unrelated matter.Yeah, I bruise easily.
Novak is the goat, Nadal said it himself, end of discussion.That doesn't mean you shouldn't reminesce on Federer's great matches of the past. I am always watching Nadal full matches to fall asleep too, something I put headphones and just hear the sounds
>>153122861>I bruise easily.and I'm that old
Hiding in plain sight on the AO website.https://ausopen.com/articles/news/ao-heat-stress-scale-grand-slam-first
>>153122791No, 24 slams and one gold medal is the record. Doing what Djokovic did in his 30s while he was getting DQ'd and banned from the sport is no small feat. If djokovic was dominating Medvedev, Zverev, Sissy, Roddick, Safin, Hewitt as a 24 year old then yes he would have been a total fraud cause these guys aren't Federer, Nadal, Del Potro, Murray and Wawrinka.
>>153122801>doubting cerundolo
>>153122812This is always silly. E.g. why is 2015 included when Nadal was fucked, Murray was mediocre and Federer was #2 at 34, but 2007 not included when it was a very strong year for both young and established talent? Why not include 2005 which had excellent hardcourt and clay depth, etc etc.
>>153122863That does not mean he will be goat forever though.It could get dangerous for him, if Sinner/Alcaraz dominate the next 3 years. Even then, even they go 2-2 slams year after year, Novak is probably safe.Only way for the 24 to be surpassed, is if a 3rd guy doesn't appear for the next 8 years, and simultaneously one of them must have a significant edge over the other.
>>153122861Time to switch to clay surface to protect those knees then as well unc.
>>153122900if they go 2-2*
>>153122900>is if a 3rd guy doesn't appear for the next 8 yearsyou'd think it has to happen, we didn't see a new goat tier player from 2007-2023, we're overdue for another one to pop up.
>>153122882>https://ausopen.com/articles/news/ao-heat-stress-scale-grand-slam-firstkek nice edit. I half thought it was real when I clicked the link and it looked 99% the same
>>153122750It was the big 4. Joker had to go through Murray, too. Sinner and Alcaraz are basically playing against Ferrer/Berdych level players in the quarters and semis now. They are warmups, at best.
>>153122895vultured slam means a slam won without beating at least one of the big 3it's nowhere near a perfect way to do it but it's simple and i haven't heard of a better way to measure it without heavy bias included
>>153122685AO 2008 - beat washed fed then the mighty tsonga AO 11 - beat washed fed and the mighty murrayWB 11 - beat washed nadal and the mighty tsongaUS 11 - beat Fedal AO 12 - beat washed nadal and the mighty murray AO 13 - beat the mighty murray and the mighty ferrerWB 14 - beat washed fed and the mighty dimitrov AO 15 - beat the mighty wawrinka and the mighty murray WB 15 - beat washed fed and the mighty gasquet US 15 - beat washed fed and the mighty cilic AO 16 - beat washed fed and the mighty murrayRG 16 - beat the mighty thiem and the mighty murray WB 18 - beat washed nadal and the mighty anderson US 18 - beat the mighty nishikori and the mighty del potro AO 19 - beat washed nadal and the mighty pouilleWB 19 - beat washed fed and the mighty bautista agutEverything after that is pure vulture.
>>153122903what's "unc", I hav been seeing that word around for the last year.
>>153122920>t was the big 4. Joker had to go through Murray, too.Just drop it. He's retired and I think even the brits dont care anymore to pretend this was legit. Peak Medvedev is a harder opponent test than Murray.
Anyone who shills for the doper Binner over washed geriatric Novaxx needs to have some self-respect considering Fedal are retired. If you're stanning for the most protected player in men's tennis, I'm either going to assume you're Italian or Fedal fan living vicariously through Binner
>>153122929>t. unc
>>153122841Simple is as simple does
>>153122932It's legit simply cause the rest of the Big 3 know it was also a Big 4. There's a reason the Spaniard invited MurGOAT to his retirement ceremony as well
>>153122932Not so sure.Murray had a 34% win rate vs big3Medshit 25%Murray faced a peaker big3, Medvedev had age disadvantage at the start, and advantage by the end. So Medshit's stats and Murray's have the same value. 34>35
>>153122924great irony
>>153122940The only ethical player to root for is Alcatraz
>>15312296534>25*kek
>>153122970if you have a less biased way to measure it im all ears
>>153122925>Fed washed at 26 years oldlol, Federer only lost a step because he finally faced some opponents with more than one elite skill set.
>>153122998Many goat players stall and decline at 26, see Tstitsipas.
>>153121366I love wawrinka so much <3
>>153122900>waiting for tennis messiah
Wearing this to Wimby next time I go
>muh federer washed>unironically respond to frauderer fan bait,
>>153123006Fonseca has 8 months to reach either 2 slam semis, 1 slam final, win 1 masters 1000 and reach another final.If he fails any of that, he ain't it, and we have to wait for the 2007-08 born crowd.
>>153123034portujinx not everyone is an early bloomer like nadal, sinner took more time but he's still on goat trajectory
>>153123011Hold out for a better price.
Is there any other sport where the more unpopular " bad guy " became the goat? Is Brady the closest? People hated him when he was playing
>>153122985The problem you've got is you effectively exclude Federer's prime because he's 6 years older. Putting a line through that is silly if you take a closer look at a lot of majors during that time. E.g. Fed's first AO win, he beat 3x slam winners and players who had winning records over him. Why is that vulturing? Goes both ways too, it's the same for good slam wins Djokovic or Nadal have won outside those as well.
>>153122777>This thread is moving way too fast, please some of you abandon, and go to /tennis/.No surprise though. BIg 3 debate is this gen's favorite subject.
Nothing like Big 3 debates to give /atp/ moral legitimacy over /tennis/
>>153123048True true, I do think you have to be an early boomer to reach Novak stats. No player will ever win as much as him in his 30s. Sinner does have time to reach his 30th birthday with more slams than Novak at the same time, meaning he would have to win less than he did after.You need 16 slams minimum by the time you turn 30 years old, or you won't reach 25 slams.
If Djokovic somehow wins one grand slam this year then all the debates for the rest of time will be put to rest. It could happen. Djokovic made the semis 4 times in a row. He just needs one or two lucky draws, or another doping scandal from Sinner.
Pathetic Osaka lolthe weakmind mental midget didn’t wanna face an Aussie player backed by an Aussie crowd. The pressure of having to face the media again after that chimp out was just too much
>>153123057LeBron James. Him and Djokovic have eerily similar careers. Both are held in disgust by boomers and faggots who fell for the nike and Swiss watch propaganda machine.
>>153123090Sinner needs 12 of the next 23.Alcaraz needs 10 out of the next 29.
>>153123092There's no point in having these debates if you're a Novaxx fan. His career was complete after he won Olympic golf. He's not winning another slam
>>153122965we all know Medvedev should have won that AO Finals versus Nadal
>>153122924>vultured slam means a slam won without beating at least one of the big 3Does this ignore when one of the big 3 lose in an earlier round?
>>153123105no wta talk here.
>>153123111>him have
>>153123135Black women are just black men with tits
>>153123111Lebron is nowhere near as unpopular by the NBA as Djokovic. Miami Bron was at that level of dislike but he was still the most popular player in the league
What will /atp/ do when the ATP and WTA join? Become /mtg/?
>>153123120He can do it. If the only two great players are beaten or injured he'll win. The rest are terrible for their rankings. Think about it, if Fed can be a point away from beating Nadal/Djokovic back to back at 38, why can't Djokovic beat much worse players at the same age? Sinner was minutes from going out too...can happen again this year.
>>153123063if you go slam by slam it's up to the indivudual which slam was or wasn't vultured, that way one person could count 5 vulured for federer and another could count 15like i said, my way is definitely not perfect but i think it's better than having to go slam by slam because no one could possibly agree
>>153123115They also need to win Olympic gold once. It will be high pressure for one of them cause one of them will surely need to win a gold in their 30s. I don't think either are strong enough mind to pull it off. They have to win next Olympics.
>>153123154Djokovic is barely hated these days.fellow pros all love him for example.Only some anglos do seem to hold a grudge, I though it was a meme, when some talked about anglo-hate towards him, but they are the last ones to still cling on to that hate, on facebook comments and so.
>>153123146Ok gender police
>>153123172will be on hard court? in LA?
>>153123178>fellow pros all love him for example. Wait till you find out what pr managers are for
>>153123163It's not happening. Novaxx fans should be happy with what they got. Only things to regret is the numerous slams he cucked himself out of cause of the shot and not getting surgery on his elbow
>>153122777Tommy always seems to have a great start against Carlos, working the backhand with his shots and opening the court up for a winner. Then in the following sets he drops a load in his drawers and feeds Carlos's forehand. I hope this time his act is cleaner. He's the only American who can legitimately outplay (not out muscle or out serve) Carlos
>>153123178He literalmente tried to kill a ballchild today
>>153123163>one point away lol, Novak was fucking with him the whole time. Sinner and Alcaraz don't have the balls to do what Djoker did in 2019. They're not as strong mind or as cheeky.
>>153123178We brought that same smoke with Murray.British when he won.Scottish when he lost.
>>153123207kek, I couldn't watch it, went to see the snow.will browse r/tennis to see it.
>>153123178Obviously I'm talking about the general fanbase and he's now barely tolerated I guess
>>153123129that's another thing, beating the guy that beat the big 3 would be considered a vulture. It's like saying Djokovic's run to the Wimbledon 2011 final was weak because he played Tsonga instead of Federer. Or Federer's 2009 Wimbledon was a vulture because he played Haas who beat Djokovic or Roddick because he beat Murray.
>>153123202I do think he has a small chance, We will see. Carlos doesn't look 100%
>>153123220i thought that was a painting
>>153123235wait is it am i retarded
>>153123211>lol, Novak was fucking with him the whole time.yeah that's not the case, the old man had to fuck it up on his own. Point stands though, it can be done at that age, particularly if the only good players are out.
>>153123244no, it did turn out very good that particular one though.
>>153123191LA '28 and Brisbane '32 should both be HC
>>153123207He would have hit that child if he were the GOAT.End of thread.
>>153123233The conditions in Australia are pretty tough on pro players even the super elite athletics ones like Carlos and Sacha. If Tommy can capitalize on every instant where Carlos is looking for cues from his coaching box, he could do it.
>>153123262Sinner will do a Murray
>>153123211Djokobitch was on the ropes the whole time and win by pure luck when Fraud bottled it. It was basically like when Oberyn Martel fought the Mountain in game of thrones.
>>153123233his game or physically? Carlos is more up and down the first week, but Paul is a chance if he's misfiring.
>>153123278his game.Paul isn't an elite server though is he? He must have a perfect serving day
>>153121366>No girls allowed
>>153123276i think it's a strange uneccesary cope. Losing to someone that old isn't a good look, being that close to losing isn't a good look for a goat, so saying it was part of a grand plan makes it sound better, albeit completely ridiculous. Good clutch win though.
>>153123276Watch it again. Djokovic wasn't even trying to rally. He was trying to create a le epic five hour match and he did because he is the wizard of tennis.
>>153123230>that's another thing, beating the guy that beat the big 3 would be considered a vulture.i think in most cases you'd rather play someone who beat them, but of course that's subjective which is the whole problem
>>153122903I live in Australia mate. Clay is non-existent.
>>153123310Federer was always elite on grass, and it's a more forgiven surface to an oldie right? Djokovic was clutch, and Federer chocked, it is what it is.Considering their ages it was a moral victory for the Swiss Maestro
>>153123105I thought as much too. She was petrified after the shit she pulled
>>153123318possibly yes, and it also contradicts the vulturing concept, with the field being strong enough to topple one or more of the GOATs.
>>153123327give me your address if you want me to search your google directions as well
>>153123310Djokovic was 32 years old. It's not like a 21 year old Alcaraz or 22 year old sinner losing to grandpa Djokovic. Djokovic had like five surgeries at that point of his career.
>>153123327just go to the desert, Perth area.
>>153123310you say cope then proceed to bring up fed's age, a pretty sly move
>>153123314cmon would he really risk to be two championship points against?
>>153123349There's still a mountain of difference between 32 and 38. Just compare Djokovic at those ages. He wasn't at any kind of disadvantage in that match up at that stage.
>>153123363how would you describe it, cope or retardation?
>>153123381No, there isn't. The body starts to die when you hit 30. You're not even close to your prime anymore at 32. Look at any athlete who has to run for a living.
>>153123393i would say cope, which you followed up with one of your own
>>153123344you can include beating the guy who beat them if you want, i'm genuinely curious how the numbers would compare
>>153123111>LeBron>the goatHi zoomer
>>153123411>starts to declineyes it starts...and then gets worse. Hence 38 being significantly more declined for an athlete compared to 32.
>>153123344Look at USO 2014. Each finalist beat a member of the Big 3 that year. It'd be stupid to devalue Cilic's win because he only beat Fed in the semis.
>>153123448Beating the guy who beat a big 3 player before is inherently worthless, because only by beating multiple big 3 members does one depigeonise themself. To be fair, beating someone who had beaten 2 members of the big 3 already at a tournament would be a laudable achievement. But who’s to say which of the big 3 ever accomplished that feat…….;)
>>153123499Not with the drugs Federer was on. Why do you think LeBron looked better than a lot of 32 year old all stars and superstars at age 38? Drugs close the gap of people in their 30s.
>>153123159IIRC the proposed merger talks are only related to media rights management, i.e. they'll sell ATP and WTA broadcast rights as a single package rather than as separate products>>153123266>>153123278Grug has been pretty locked in so far, and has historically never really suffered in hot conditions. Paul is the one who has suffered injuries and poor form over the past year which is why Grug walloped him bad at RG last year. This is hardcourt and he seems to be on the mend but he's still a major underdog
>>153123522>It'd be stupid to devalue Cilic's win because he only beat Fed in the semis.it wouldn't devalue it because he beat a big 3 member, doesn't have to be in a final
>>153123540So does Djokovic need better drugs because at 38 he’s a shadow of his 32yo self?
>>153123345Ok19 Thomas St, Narembeen WA 6369
>>153123353It's shifting sand, not clay
>>153123526nyr Berdych's 2010 Wimbledon run

>>153123599>19 Thomas St, Narembeen WA 6369Perth seems to have a couple "European" clay court clubs. Bitte!
>>153123625both bottled a close match, the end.
>>153123591Nah, he just needs to stick to his diet and wait for the right break in schedule. He's not going to out dope Sinner or Alcaraz. He just needs them to slip up on their cycles.
>>153123648I used to play tennis in a park near the north of this picture called Blackboy Park. No meme.

>>153122480Sinner has the most KINO SOVL AI
>>153123625That and the 2024 loss only made the Olympic win sweeter. I don't think anyone believed in Novax that day
>>153123859I lost all faith in Grug well before then, after the RG 23 semi. I will never forgive him for that.
predictions for mensik vs. novax?
>>153123930It made his wimbledon win sweeter. I don't think anyone believed in grug that day.

that settles it. no more conspiracy theories
>>153126325I heard rumours that his match was the 1st one to stop though.And others happening simultaneously were halted 10 to 15min later.
>>153126325Unironically, if there is a conspiracy to help out Sinner, why did they even let him play in the heat in the first place? Could have just given him the night match, no? What does the conspiracy science say about that

Business Idea: put all of Sinner's AO matches on an outdoor court in Cairns
>only womemes until 9pm
does Paul even have a chance
Btw it stinks like bushfire in Melbourne today, there's a smoky stench from an out-of-control bushfire in the south-west.This might be a problem today if they don't have the roof closed again. Players will be inhaling this shit
>>153128396No he will probably retire
>>153128441Take the fucking hat off, man
>>153121366The GOAT tennis height is 6'1 or 6'2. That's the perfect length without being too goofy and uncoordinated. Any taller and you will break down eventually around 27 and any shorter and you will get blown off the court when you lose half a step.
>>153128396If he remembers to stick to the smart gameplan and not play like a fool then he can at least take Carlos the distance

>>153129116>There is something generic and npc like about PaulI recall some anon back in the days of pre-split /tennis/ likened Tommy Paul to a default/placeholder character from a video game, which sort of fits. pretty much the only things that stick out about him are his elite movement and the truck/finance memes. you would probably habitually forget he exists if he wasn't a fixture at the later rounds of big events
>>153126366>And others happening simultaneously were halted 10 to 15min laterThey only suspend play after an even number of games or at the end of a set. So the matches all stopped at different times.

I fucking hate all Britishers. They RELENTLESSLY glaze this fucking Spaniard and now they're acting like the whole match is foregone. This is what made me hate Grug in the first place and now I'm really remembering>"he hasn't played bad tennis but he just can't match Alcaraz">"he's played some good tennis today but Alcaraz has been on another level entirely">even when Tommy does something good, it's not that Tommy did something good, it's that Alcaraz failed to do something good enough

Reminder that we have no idea, what kind of athletes Nadal or Alcaraz would've been naturally on their own, bc we've never seen it.
>>153137701Only Djoko, Minaur, Zverev and Sinner
>>153139528No way ADM can beat Alcaraz. At best he could maybe annoy him for a set before getting steamrolled.
Let's go Learner let's go *clap clap*
>>153139592He will beat Alcaraz from the back of the court.Aussie crowd will help.
>>153137701Zverev, Sinner, Djoker did multiple times. Meddy would too 2 years ago.I think Bublik could do it, but they've never played against each other.
Medvedev on choke watch
Tien could reach the semis. He already beat Zverlingz before
Is Tien elite?
De Minaur is mentally weak. He's finished
What happened to Medvedev? He looks absolutely JUSTed.
>>153139854No. Medvedev just remembered he is shit
Cute
Absolutely beyond over
Isn’t it about time for a medical time out?
>>153139866Nothing in his game worries Tien. We saw that last year.
>>153139887nonce
Minaur will destroy this greasy haired ethnic Kazhak
>>153138368if you wear a mesh fabric leotard then your balls won't be as sweaty.
>>153139528>Zverev>MinaurNovak when Alcaraz has a bad day, Sinner of course. But the other twos???
Bublik in 3
finish that lanklet up
Meanwhile Meddy is just getting absolutely fucking dogwalked by Learner
I'm always surprised when I see how popular Zverev is outside of Germany, espically in Australia. Here in Germany, doesn't matter if it's Soox, insta or wherever, everybody makes fun of this bum
Bublik in 4
>double fault on set pointholy kwab, that's what you get for being a servebot
>>153140110*Spox not Soox
Easy round for the mine our 6:4, 6:2, 6:2
>>153140110Australia believes Olga and Brenda mate
>>153140053Have you not seen their matches since Alcaraz became a top player? Zverev can definitely push him here if plays well.
>>153139854Yes ignore the ziggers
>>153140110We are big lovers of domestic violence here, thats why
>>153140126What the hell is a spox?
Learner Tien is the first player to bagel Daniil Medvedev in a GS match
>>153140110Many don't know he abuses woman in his private life.
I really hope Tien reaches the semifinals after this demolishing job, we need young blood to challenge for the top
Bublik is stinky ass. No wonder he wants to call this era a strong era.
Damn, no double bagel
>>153140135I have, Alcaraz won most of them and he only gets better, meanwhile Zverev is 29 and only gets worse
>>153140150German sports sitehttps://www.spox.com
Ahhhh Learner lock it inThis does not slip
Medvedev comeback incoming
>>153140247No fucking way
Bunch of short ass matches tonight, bummer
Now that today's matches are over, what do we think of tomorrow's ones?
>>153140283Joker Sinner Ruud Fritz
>>153140283mensik winning
>>153140197>Statistically, if Alexander Zverev doesn't win a Slam tournament this year, he would have to join a club that contains only three people in the last 100 years (Gimeno, Gómez, and Korda) who won their first title after age 30. Even Goran Ivanišević, the most famous "late" winner, grabbed his trophy just a few months before his 30th birthday.Brutal
>>153140262>mfw seen so much tennis I know which tickets to buy and avoid by now
>>153140173I always liked Learner but if he does reach the semis I will officially switch from being a Fonsechad
NEW>>153140308>>153140308>>153140308
Tsitsipas has never been bagelled at a slam that's all I'm saying
