Can we just give Novak the Miami open title now? Like just give it to him now to appease him and get it over with. It could be like a sacrifice to an ancient tennis god. Y’know like you give the god a gift and they leave you alone for a little while. Something like that

I love that Fritz just really likes competing. I love that he appreciates the smaller tournaments and gives them and all his opponents the care and effort they deserve. I have a lot of respect for him for this

It’s weird because even without a major weapon like a huge serve he still seems good enough to be in the top tier. Maybe he has more off days than on days…?

Yes! Agreed! I think it’s so nice to watch tennis matches that have low stakes. We’re so used to watching matches with incredibly high stakes so it’s a nice change to watch the players perform purely for entertainment

β€ͺWhen native English-speaking tennis commentators pronounce Alcaraz like β€œAl-ca-rathhh” with a hard β€œth” it kinda has the same vibe as an american college student studying abroad in Spain for a semester and coming back and telling everyone β€œum it’s actually pronounced BARTH-elona”‬

Yeah that’s a good point. I feel like his athleticism and movement in rallies are so good that I’m assuming he should be a solidly top 10 player. But you’re right, if he’s having an off day he kinda doesn’t have anything to fall back on

Tommy Paul confuses me a bit. When I watch him play, I think he’s so good and I’m like dang he should be winning everything all the time (or at least be a serious contender for every title). But… he’s not. Why is he not???

I remember when I found out drake was dropping diss tracks about Kendrick. I actually loled. The moment it began I knew how it was gonna end. If even EYE knew that, how did no one on drake’s team know that

Just sitting here thinking about how I still cannot believe drake thought it was a good idea to start beef with Kendrick Lamar. Thee Kendrick Lamar. Renowned Pulitzer Prize winning artist and certified boogeyman Kendrick Lamar. Like… literally anyone could’ve told him that was a horrible idea

I’m fairly sure she meant it how we’re taking it because why the hell else would she feel the need to clarify that 😭

I can’t tell if she meant it to be an overt critique but it was soooo brutal lol

Idk if that was intentional or not but I loled

Watching Montpellier and the commentator was talking about the depth of talent in american tennis right now and she goes β€œthe present is strong and the future is bright in the US!” and then paused for a second and went β€œβ€¦as far as tennis goes” lmaooo

Madi’s win has got me all sorts of emotional today πŸ₯Ή

It was my first time at a tennis tournament and I was emotionally overwhelmed okay lol

This was, and I’m not exaggerating, one of the best days of my life. My parents surprised me with Arthur Ashe stadium us open tickets for my bday and I cried when I got them lol. I got to see Madi and Federer win back to back and I was so happy that I cried again during their matches πŸ™ƒ

I got lucky that the first pro I ever saw play was such an awesome person 😭

She almost feels like an old friend to me. I think that’s what it is

I know this is silly but Madi was the first pro player I ever got to watch live, so I’ve always felt connected to her. It’s like she was the first pro who ever felt real to me. It was like she invited me into this world. To watch her get to this point is just… idk I’m an emotional wreck today
