any ch175 ultras in?
>>153828140You forgot to update the important Sinner counter. It should be at 17 now.
>>153828177how fo I delete an thread Hans
>>153828210You cant delete threads anymore. I think you used to be able to years ago but it's been a long time. Or maybe never actually could. I don't know.
>>153828257It’s always been very opaque. I vaguely remember posting my passport on this general lol and scrambling to delete it, I think I had to report it. Yes I’m sure some autist still has it saved and no I don’t care if you post it, what does it matter? Imagine if Fonz had a 1hbh would be the most kino player in history
>>153828291If it's not that long ago chances are it might actually still be saved in archive sites too depending on how long it was up.
Oi I'm Jack Drapah and I'm bri'ish mateFink I'll have a go at this bloke Novak
>>153828338Well now that I think it was /tennis/ and it was 2017-18I didn’t return to the general for a few days afterwards cause I was panicked but I have very vague recollections of months or years later a German anon talking about some fugly Brit who doxxed themself and I was like, that’s me that was
>>153823335I hadn't even realized IW had mixed doubles. The prize money is actually pretty good for the doubles events. No wonder all those singles players are participating this time.
Why am I not surprised Casper bought the farm
>>153828824Redpill me on why buying the farm is associated with dying?
>>153828924Buying a hobby farm (in American culture I guess) is something you do when you're old and want something to piddle with until you die. Plant garden beds, trees, whatever, as long as you're doing something until you die
>>153828342yea m8 finkin Novak in 3, 2 if Drapah comes bloody faffin 'round out the gate, fit for a cheeky tenner innit
>>153829286So in the US of A the "farm" is often just a hobby garden? Doesn't sound very farm-like.
By the way, why are RBA and Goofy playing a literally who challenger in THE Dominican Republic?
Norriegoat will avenge ARE Casper against Carlitos in the QF
>>153829658Nothing else to do if you aren't still in the Masters

Novak “Roger Federer” Djokovic
real wta hours
Draper bros how we feeling?
Novax told the crowd to shut the fuck up it’s so over for jack
>medvedev>carlos>carrotSo who is he losing to or does he win it all lads?
>>153831273Draper
>>153831158vuorescent
Nov-ACK
It’s Nover Djover
>opponent lands a shot inside the court>djokovic shakes his head and looks offendedWhy is he like this
>>153831430Serena Williams syndrome
Kek Draper is a choker
What a servebot
Shan't be taking Draper seriously if he doesn't win this.
N E T G O D

KNEEL
Retire Novaxx
>djokostitch
Novak won the story
Putting $500 on Djokovic to win Wimbledon
Is Djokovic ill or something? He's movements aren't very motile rn
>>153831629He just emptied the tank last game
He's so gassedIt's over
How is it that he can hang with Sinner for five sets but crumples to this bum after two
>>153831676Making a semifinal without winning a single set for a few days helped
Time to retire old man
>>153831695Yeah that was a farce but kino watching him dab on the carrot zoomer
>>153831695so then why doesn't sinner lose in round 1 all the time? because his opponents have all the rest in the world beforehand
>>153831695Novak hasn't done well at IW in about a decade.
>>153831791Because he gets to play shitters in the first round
You get the feeling novax will injure himself somewhere and blow his chance at majors this year
>>153831846so his opponents being fresh have nothing to do with it?
>>153831862Chance? What chance?
>>153831882Wimbledon. He can still win there.
>>153830951Omegaheh
>>153831873Novak isn't trash but he's older. Being rested helped him out in the semis. Jannik would be rested in 1R and is better than his opponents.
>>153831909He can win the first two rounds against Johannus Monday and Jan Choinski before losing to Cameron Norrie
Kwab
J-ACK
Lmao the absolute fucking state of Sir Jack Draper, esquire
GOAT GOAT
Not even amused, this was within expectations kek
That choke reminded me of the pre sinnercaz zoomer meltdowns against novax
>>153832079Zverev like innit
>>153827406Why is it always like this with these shitters?
that tattoo is satanicjust sayin'
Raped
>>153832089Very much so
Novak Chokeovic
The netGOD has decided.
What a horrid tiebreakBoth of these guys deserve to lose
Don't think Draper will defend here lads
Was gonna post KWAB either way, but still. Entertaining stuff

>>153832392Some say he’s the goat
>>153832421the guy who beat 24 time major winner and career golden slam holder djokovic
>>153832335Kek
i like Tien but can't see him beating Sinner
There has to be some delusion following sports that aren't completely skill based, but I have to give tennis the title of the most delusional following of the past 21 years. Ya'll are pathetic.
Remember when Djokovic was good?
>>153833524No but I remember when everyone else was worse
wonder how long before Drapist gets his rank back
>>153832421For me, it's>Jarritos vs Snorrie>Norwood vs Gumby>too based for me, I'm just copying yours>Peeien vs Semifinal Sinner
Aside from Fritz at the presitigious Laver Cup, the only 2 people to have beaten Grug since like RG are Sinner and THE Cameron Norrie. Are we witnessing the birth of a new big 3?
Djokovic is like a fart in a sealed room you can never get rid of him
>>153833437go on...
Paint the lines with style
How would people rate 90s gen players in a tier list for their skill ceiling/potential? S-F
>>153836428that calf is shooped riht
Fils
If you're as boring and generic as guys like "Arthur Fils" you should be forced to adopt some sort of gimmick.
>broken>hold to love>brokenThe duality of Fils>>153837462His gimmick is that he actually hits the biggest forehands on tour
When will Lahyani finally retire?
>>153836954Some 90s gen players played in the 70s. Would be pretty tough. There's a lot of boys to go through, not just the greats but the regular journeymen too.
these Hong Kong ads are wild
The New York Times is reporting that the Saudis are trying to buy out the tournament licences for Acapulco and Buenos AiresMeanwhile the Financial Times is reporting that the Gulf countries are considering scaling back their foreign investment (including sports sponsorships) to help fund domestic rebuilding after the war
the tennis match is starting soon
holy shit, 35ºC already in Indian Wells

>>153838888shut up and do your check lists itoddler
Imagine Tien's movement and mental game with Fonseca's shotmaking and touch and Mensik's first serve
>>153836954>>153837716I think by 90s gen he means players born in the 90s. I'd say in pure tennis terms Thiem/Kyrgios/Zverev/Tsitsipas had the highest potential. they all could conceivably win 3+ slams if you fixed their glaring issues, most of which were mental aside from Thiem who's just unlucky. outside those four, Medvedev is the gatekeeper, his ceiling is lower but he's also underachieved way less. the remaining players were always the type to cap out at 0 or 1 slam

What will Tien Learn from this match?
The comeback starts now
The comeback ends now
>>153839017>Sinner is his hard counter in tennis and probably will remain that way for the foreseeable future>becoming a contender will require getting a stronger serve and less gambling on 2nd serves>Fonseca has higher potential, at least for nowI get the feeling that Tien might end up with a Nishikori type of career
I will NEVER rate this Tien bozo despite amerishills
Didn't miss much at all. Seems like both had routine wins.
Heh, my boy Learner... he just needs more Tiem.....
College tennis is legit higher level than challengers. If you can't get a scholarship in 2026, you should be a ball boy

Based Meddy
What the fuck is happening, did the IW broadcast end for everyone?
Remember when Jack stole match point on a double bounce against Felix
>>153841604Didn't something like that happen twice for Draper?
>>153841602Meddy painted a line, Jack made a conspicuous shrugging gesture as if the ball was out, play continued, Meddy lost the point but called hindrance and the ump agreed>>153841625Wouldn't surprise me, perfidious Albion just doesn't understand sportsmanship
>no it's fine it's a fair call I just think it was wrong and you lied about being distractedLolI mean Meddy is by far the worst on tour when it comes to sportsmanship but acting like a baby about it is the worst way to respond
>>153841661More like game knows game, he didn't seem too pissed when Meddy beat him
Which guys on the tour now would make a good commentator when they're done? I think Zverev would be alright if he learned to filter his mouth, or Khachanov would be humble to hear
I mean on the flipside, what ELSE should you do in Meddy's situation? Try to play it out anyway, and then once the point is over call it or not play the point at all and call it then, and have the ump say "no, it's not hindrance", and then lose the point.An argument for Meddy's side is that gesture threw him off and he probably would have played the next shot differently if it wasn't for it. It cost him time to react etc.Obviosly Meddy would not have said anything if he won the point because it wouldn't make any difference, I don't think he'd even be allowed to anyway.The umpires and the lack of consistency are a problem of course, but that's exactly why what Meddy did is the best move even if it seems unfair. You don't know what the fuck is the ump gonna say.But yeah this is pretty harsh towards Draper.
>>153841819Fritz loves to get analytical but man he's got a horrible vocal fryTien seems like a smart guy, has good recall and is articulate when describing specific points in post-match interviews but his career still has like 20 years to goNovak would do pretty well but commentary is probably beneath himI don't think there are many others mainly because most players aren't fluent enough in English
>>153841899>NovakHe would probably do it for a short while for like a tourney but never full timeUnironically Kyrgios is a pretty good commentator Meddy would be funny as hell to listen toTien is actually pretty eloquent I agree he'd do bretty good
>noriega
>>153842002Agreed on Nick but he's basically already retired so I didn't mention himMeddy is funny but I think he might be a bit too long-winded for commentary
Grug...
THE Cam Norrie
NorGOAT actually has the same win:loss ratio against Alcaraz as Sinner
>>153842406>Grug>Sinner>NorrieTHE big three
>Bill Gates sitting courtsideAmericans really don't care about the Epstein shit huh
>>153842468Gates has fuck you money
>>153837126nope they're real. saw him at wimbledon vs khachanov. Aslan is built like a fucking tank, he's huge
Last round was better
So was the initial ball even out?
>>153842468Well, amorality and debasedness is ubiquitous amongst all and great wealth shields from any consequences whatsoever.
For me its Sinner and Lacaraz in 2, and we get the first good match of the year with the Sinner 2-1 final being kino
Imagine if Sacha wins IW and he claims he technically won a slam lol
>>153843160Draper vs Meddy? No, all the shots in the rally were in, the final ball Meddy hit went into the net. Then Meddy was awarded the point which is weird considering the amout of audible hinderance allowed in tennis.
>>153846888Pure karma for raper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmJfpGj2rIY
I'm starting to lose hope in the Next Next Gen'ers. Like, Fils looks good sometimes, but still had no chance there. And Mensik has got a lot of problems in his game. I don't know.
>>153846896That ball came as close to hitting the court and racket at the same time as it gets, karma police
>>153846984cope
>>153847079After you
>>153835306This reminds me of a certain group of people that is also hard to get rid of.
>>15384689915 more years of grug domination
tenis is the lowest form of human comunications
>>153847100Nta but I think people had a problem with him playing dumb. Everyone said based off his immediate reaction he knew and was surprised the match was called. Felix was entirely reasonable the whole time so I can see why that other burger would claim karma.
>>153847295Playing dumb would be a problem if you knew that Draper knew he had done wrong. Nobody really knew.
Zverev could beat Grug. Medvedev stands no chance.
>>153847861>ZverevThe opposite. Zverev always folds under any pressures. Meds still has some gumption.

>Sasha vs Yannick>Charles vs DanielDare I say, kino?It's a shame that I won't be at home to watch both matches properly but I'll try to catch what I canBoth H2Hs are very lopsided but the wifebeater and the war criminal have both been playing extremely well by their individual standards so they could potentially put up a good fight this timeRemarkably the doper is the one with the worst (relatively speaking) current form
>>153859806I have Jannik and Daniil winning here. It may finally be time for the war criminal to stop jobbing in R1 to nobodies. A corner has been turned.
>>153860193>A corner has been turned.When?
>>153860701Asian swing last year
>TC commentator complains he wasn't given credit for random meme statWho was in the wrong here?
>>153861505I mean, Haber is a massive cuck for getting this butthurt over something relatively common, and he's getting rightfully ridiculed for it.It is, however, nice of people to give proper credit. Common courtesy, really. Had he been less autistic about it, it would have been a reasonable thing to do.
>>153861647Him using words like "plagiarizing" to refer to this absolute nothingburger tweet makes it hard to take him seriously. So overly histrionic and self-important. If he had just said "Hey, nice that you're enjoying the broadcast but I'd appreciate it if you could give some props." or some shit like that, it definitely would have been more understandable. Deeply insecure and pathetic replies by him.
>>153861779Oh, I bet that in his mind he sounded like an internet badass...
>>153861505he has a point, when I followed tennis xitter it was full of these retarded talking heads like morgado or that faggot french "guy" either doing the same or literally stealing posts from some small users without giving any creditmost of these retards have exactly zero own opinions or input in their own posts
>>153849299you've taken this to psychotic levels, you belong in the women's/nonces thread with the schitzos
>>153861779yes it's very cringe
>>153861812He completely ruins his point by the way he talks about it.
That "rude politeness" tone is everywhere on the internet nowadays, especially reddit, incredibly infuriating. if someone talked to me like that in real life i'd simply punch them in the nose.
Why is the shittier match always first? This is euro discrimination
>>153862726he has nothing to gain there no matter how he words it, people don't care. I don't even think he found that stat himself, but instead some data analyst working for tennis channel did
will Zverev seethe again at a perceived Sincaraz favoritism at some point? I think so
does anyone have a >mixed doubles link?

I've grown to hate Zvereve this past year and a half.
I've grown to tolerate Zvereve this past year and a half.
I was a fool to think the Russian German might ever be competitive
>>153866437Why? He's just a less successful Murray
>>153866543no fight, just accepts his place as 3rd wheel, and his game got even more passive.He should have won a Roland Garros between 2022 and 2025 as well, can't rate him any more.
>>153866648So just like Murray?
>2nd serve pct wonis this the most important stat in tennis
60% first serve rate for Zverev is horrible, he should be at 70% at least
