>>153828210
You 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.
>>
>>153828257
It’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
>>
>>153828291
If 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 mate
Fink I'll have a go at this bloke Novak
>>
>>153828338
Well now that I think it was /tennis/ and it was 2017-18
I 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
>>
>>153823335
I 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
>>
>>153828824
Redpill me on why buying the farm is associated with dying?
>>
>>153828924
Buying 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
>>
>>153828342
yea m8 finkin Novak in 3, 2 if Drapah comes bloody faffin 'round out the gate, fit for a cheeky tenner innit
>>
>>153829286
So in the US of A the "farm" is often just a hobby garden? Doesn't sound very farm-like.

>>153831695
Yeah that was a farce but kino watching him dab on the carrot zoomer
>>
>>153831695
so then why doesn't sinner lose in round 1 all the time? because his opponents have all the rest in the world beforehand
>>
>>153831695
Novak hasn't done well at IW in about a decade.
>>
>>153831791
Because 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
>>
>>153831846
so his opponents being fresh have nothing to do with it?
>>
>>153831862
Chance? What chance?

>>153831882
Wimbledon. He can still win there.

>>153830951
Omegaheh

>>153831873
Novak 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.

He can win the first two rounds against Johannus Monday and Jan Choinski before losing to Cameron Norrie

I 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 the fuck is happening, did the IW broadcast end for everyone?
>>
Remember when Jack stole match point on a double bounce against Felix
>>
>>153841604
Didn't something like that happen twice for Draper?
>>
>>153841602
Meddy 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

>>153841625
Wouldn'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 distracted
Lol
I 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
>>
>>153841661
More 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.
>>
>>153841819
Fritz loves to get analytical but man he's got a horrible vocal fry
Tien 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 go
Novak would do pretty well but commentary is probably beneath him
I don't think there are many others mainly because most players aren't fluent enough in English
>>
>>153841899
>Novak
He would probably do it for a short while for like a tourney but never full time

Unironically Kyrgios is a pretty good commentator
Meddy would be funny as hell to listen to
Tien is actually pretty eloquent I agree he'd do bretty good

>>153842468
Well, amorality and debasedness is ubiquitous amongst all and great wealth shields from any consequences whatsoever.

>>
Imagine if Sacha wins IW and he claims he technically won a slam lol
>>
>>153843160
Draper 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.

Nta 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.

I 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.
>>
>>153861647
Him 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.
