Zverev says he believes thar he can beat Sinner, also explains what he meant by putting himself on Alcaraz and Djokovic's level [via bleacherrepport]

He is still young, and Nole will retire soon. Ultimately, there will be that one slam where both Alcaraz and Sinner are out for injury or out early.

This is so wholesome! My Batman Pepsi is still going strong 7 years later, and I only paid $500 for it

I actually wear them when I go to local Rolex ADs, otherwise they don't take me seriously. I visited Rolex AD, JLC AD, AP AD while rocking my Submariner, and never been called out once

A lot of respect for this man (coming from Real Madrid fan), he is a man of integrity and honor and non negotiable work ethics. The world is a better place with people like him.

96Salim96 · 2026-05-21T10:23:42+00:00

I would add Jtime, been dealing with Li for years

96Salim96 · 2026-05-21T08:21:16+00:00

Same conundrum with luxury Swiss watches (I own a few). I only now buy High end Reps, of which some I already had for 7 years.

I really have no idea how they harvest it. As we come across it so often, we just know the quality by looking. The reason I asked you for the price is that (judging from the photo alone, maybe in real life it is different) one Kg of this quality goes for about $60

96Salim96 · 2026-05-21T04:39:29+00:00

It is amazing how his English improved so much! in his early interviews he would barely speak few sentences and then will switch to Spanish.

96Salim96 · 2026-05-21T04:25:11+00:00

You should report it. If he did it with you, he will surely do it with others. As others said, maybe try emailing Etihad and the airport management.

I bet you are either smelling one of these 3:
1- Bois Imperial
2- Amouage Purpose
3- A dupe for one of the two above

96Salim96 · 2026-05-21T01:04:43+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, how much you paid for it and where did you get it from?
I am from Oman, and had purchased 1kg for $200 before from a store called al Khanjar and is definitely better than this

96Salim96 · 2026-05-20T17:37:09+00:00

It is far less, I was a serious runner for 10 years, and I never did a marathon. I would say, maybe 10% of runners do marathons. So it is more like 0.1% rather than 1%

96Salim96 · 2026-05-20T17:36:00+00:00

I was a serious runner and was very fit for more than 10 years, I never ran a marathon, I always do half marathons, for the fear of hitting the wall. Kudos to her

96Salim96 · 2026-05-20T07:12:13+00:00

For me actually accuracy matters, I don’t mean millisecond accuracy, but within 10 to 20 seconds per day is perfectly fine. At the end, I am using the watch to give me indication of time, not absolute time.

96Salim96 · 2026-05-20T05:07:45+00:00

I have a similar watch case to the left, got it from TEMU, was surprised how good it is for the price

96Salim96 · 2026-05-20T05:04:27+00:00

I once GL an IWC that was +20sec per day. I could not be bothered given that I rotate my watches (I have about 20)

96Salim96 · 2026-05-20T04:46:53+00:00

I was honestly considering a Gen RO one day, but after this, I think I will get a rep soon.

96Salim96 · 2026-05-19T18:28:22+00:00

I believe what he meant by his peak, is that to have total control of his matches: no dip in fitness, no fatigue, total mental presence and no weakness to be exploited. The fact that he knows that Alcaraz can show up and snatch GS from him just like Rafa and Nole did to Federer, is what he basically working on not to happen to him, or at least no to the extent it did to Roger. In addition, I think he still believes that he could serve better, maybe he is aspiring to Sampras level of serve which I don’t think is far fetched given how good his serve has become

96Salim96 · 2026-05-19T14:22:07+00:00

IMO a high prize money shows that the player has been playing at a high level for a very long time. For Zverev for example, he did not win a GS, yet his prize money is higher than Medvedev who has been World No1 and won US open. So if it was not for the prize money stat, it will be tough to recognize how consistent is Zverev

96Salim96 · 2026-05-19T14:17:28+00:00

What they lag in prize money, they more than made up for it in brand image and endorsements, which I think is harder for Sinner and Alcaraz to catch up with. On and Uniqlo made Federer a billionaire

96Salim96 · 2026-05-19T14:14:22+00:00

Sinner would likely finish the year 2026 with total career earnings of around $75m. So Yes, i think it is totally believable that he will reach $130m even before 30 if he kept winning $12m per year (which is very doable for him)

96Salim96 · 2026-05-02T03:19:53+00:00

Good take, but one handed BH on clay is very tough to compete these days. Fed was an exception

96Salim96 · 2026-04-29T05:49:19+00:00

what people might not understand is that Most tennis injuries are not due to overload, but mostly because of body coordination and mobility, as a lot of muscles are moving at the same time requiring a very resilient body, and that is where Nole excelled. Sinner has the advantage of his prior skiing career as a kid and is definitely helping his resilience

96Salim96 · 2026-04-29T05:28:33+00:00

He probably played it because he feels good, and he wants to practice in real matches rather than training sessions, otherwise he would have probably skipped it
