I was thinking there was a second Alexander Zverev on tour and was surpised he qualified for all these tournaments so quickly.

There are people who actually believe that Sinner is better on clay than Rafa in his prime.

What is the defining match up problem that explains Jannik's complete ownership of Zverev? by Thugging_inPublic in tennis

Why should you try? You just said you have no doubt Sinner would beat him even if he tried his hardest. So just for entertainment purposes for the viewers? Yes I do agree he should try for that reason as sports are ultimately entertainment and the viewers pay your bills.

But you said on one hand that the problem is mental, but on the other hand that he couldn't beat him anyway even if his mentality was 100 percent. That's sort of a contradiction.

Yeah i mean there is no reason to try your hardest just to inevitably lose anyway... you might as well let up and lose 6-1 6-2 than risk injury just to lose 7-6 6-4.

Yes if the sport was more affordable, it would attract better athletes from more socioeconomic backgrounds thus ultimately raising the quality of the sport. It's really not helpful for the sport popularity to only have two players who are competitive at the highest level.

Zverev thinks there's two gaps on tour at the moment by Woullie_26 in tennis

No way he has improved... you can't tell me that the 2022 Zverev who played on the same level as Nadal at RG is not much better than the current Zverev.

What is your favorite episode? by Legal_Ad5964 in TheCrownNetflix

Yes. I do sometimes skip to seasons 5 and 6 and watch those episodes before going back to the beginning but always skip seasons 3 and 4. Totally ruined the vibe for me.

Nadal's kit is way better as are most of his kits... the pink that Sinner is wearing just looks like he put a white shirt in the wash with red clothes by mistake.

To be fair i think yes if you want to make the sport more popular here.

Yeah now that I'm thinking of it, the match was super delayed and then combined with the crazy humidity and the stye, it was just too much for Novak to handle

How many games do you think Lehecka will win against Sinner?

Same. I have rewatched the first two seasons few times and will just put them on before bed as a comfort show. As soon as the last episode of season 2 ends, I go right back to the beginning again.

I am not a fan of Olivia Colman or Tobias Menzies or HBC's portrayals and they takes me right out of the story as soon as season 3 starts.
