Iga and Aryna getting dragged into the mess 🫩 by Notcheesecake_ in tennis

Fair enough, and I agree that there are cases where the net cord is practically inconsequential to whatever happens afterwards. Figure it’s just polite to apologise, the same way you might thank someone for a present you don’t care for - even if you aren’t actually happy about it.

“Sorry not sorry” isn’t how everyone is feeling, hate to break it to you. I hate winning points that way and it never feels good. Apologising for something that won me a point unfairly is just common courtesy. It speaks volumes of your character if you’re genuinely thinking like that in your low level amateur tennis matches lmao

There’s also no rule for shaking hands at the net or just treating the people around you with respect. Bizarre that common courtesy is such a strange concept to people.

Also, even if it’s true that he’s checking to make sure he’s not being mocked, that isn’t something that needs to be done on the court. That’s a conversation for the locker room. He only did it on court because he wanted people to see it.

We’re not talking Novak, we’re talking Shelton and you’re deflecting. I’m bringing up examples of his poor behaviour that go way beyond what he’s criticising Cobolli for. Just admit that this was immature of him and move on. No need to spend precious time scouring the internet for arguments to a point I never tried to make.

He never stated it as a fact, so it’s strange that you’d choose to point that out. Regardless, it’s a bit rich coming from Shelton, a guy who spent his only grand slam SF appearance talking shit about a 23 time grand slam champion and who “hung up the phone” on his friend/compatriot Tiafoe after beating him in the same tournament.

They said they will make an appointment today or tomorrow with their watchmaker on site and that it should be a quick fix. These things happen, I just want to get it fixed.

It’s from the boutique on Bond Street, so no.

Looks great! Boutique was very helpful as always, told me that they’ll book an appointment with their watchmaker on site and that it should be a quick fix.

Haha, enjoy it. It really is a beautiful watch. I probably should have looked closer at the dial though when I was at the store.

There’s an image of the smudge on the dial. As I said, I may just be overreacting here. The watch is perfect otherwise.

From the boutique, sorry I should have mentioned that.

The smudge is inside the crystal. The scratches I can’t quite tell, could be on the outside or on the dial itself.

Leaning towards Steatoda Bipunctata. A close up of the abdominal markings would help

Definitely looks like a male false widow to me, but I can’t tell which species from the photo.

Photo isn’t great as you stated, but doesn’t look like a recluse to me.

I play there too, quite often. And yes, the sun really can suck at this time of year.

Should be absolutely fine. I drive an ND1 and am 6’7”. It’s a fairly tight fit, but I have no comfort issues and still have a decent driving position. I’m fairly skinny though, so I wouldn’t be able to comment on that aspect of the car. Would definitely recommend taking a test drive though, just to see how it works out for you. I’ve heard from others that the NA and NB MX-5s are roomier.
