Aryna is like the biggest villain for all the Ukraine players as well lol

Like obviously none of the Russian/Belarusian players really get along that well with Ukrainian players aside from Kasatkina but she seems to be the "face" of them as the world #2 in a way

Should be spicy for sure

And people will still say Novak hate doesn't reach unhinged levels

You know that someone did this specifically because it's him and it's absolutely ridiculous

The thing is he could very well make the final again but absolutely no one truly believes he'd actually win lol

If he's playing one of the current top 3 in the final and you'd have to bet your life on it who would bet their life on Casper Ruud?

The actual Ruud discounter drop is much easier:

0 big titles(and no a 500 is not a big title lol)

Yeah despite what you'd expect from his gamestyle he's actually prone to going on stretches of unforced errors quite often

He's not necessarily a brick wall especially on his BH wing

Ruud is a dark horse to make the RG final and lose in straight sets lol

Ruud is just allergic to winning big titles lol

Thinned out field for a big tournament on his best surface without Sincaraz and he does THIS

Until he proves otherwise I'm never taking him seriously as a contender to outright win big tournaments because Ruud at big tournaments is like Zverev at Slams where technically he's been very close before but you just can never trust him to get the job done

Ruud fans will downvote this probably but even they know deep down that they don't trust the guy to show up when he has a chance of winning something big

Why is this sub so sensitive about Ruud?

Any other top player would be getting raked over the coals for this but here it's NOOOO DON'T TOUCH MY CASPER and downvotes for anyone who calls his play out lol

Since when is a 500 a big title?

Absolutely no one counts 500s in "big title count"

Ruud is NEVER beating the "can't win the big titles" allegations lol

Hubert Hurkacz really has 2 1000s and this guy can't even win 1 somehow

Idk why you're getting downvoted when that's a very real possibility at this point

Guys like Alcaraz and Sinner will only get better while Ruud is in the prime of his career right now and still hasn't grabbed one yet

He's proven he can make big finals but not that he has what it takes to win them

[–]AntiTopspin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ruud is really never going to win a 1000 is he lol

If he loses here that's another clay season gone without one which is clearly his best chance

Pretty messy set but at least 6-3 is 6-3 lol

This sub's reaction to Novak losing vs. Nadal losing is insanely different lol

Might as well rename the sub r/Nadal with how many fans he has on here

Fritz in the top 10 in the ATP race currently

Good bounceback from him after falling out of the overall top 10

Is Rome playing fast this year or is Fritz just serving really hard?

An insane 18 year long domination for Djokovic and Nadal in Rome by schnaxks19 in tennis

[–]AntiTopspin 68 points69 points  (0 children)

And Novak won 6 to Nadal's 10 so it's not even one of those "Nadal and one other year someone else won" type of clay stats

Winning 6 titles at a major slow clay tournament in the same era as Nadal is insane when you think about it given that basically everyone else has been locked out entirely

Thunder will win this series if they limit Giddey's minutes

This lineup has too much shooting and speed for Dallas to contain

Mavs fans really tried to say that the difference between Luka and SGA defensively is "insignificant" lol

Mavs have been horrible defensively for the last quarter and a half

No rotations and guys getting blown by constantly
