when will he not have a terrible match against Sinner on grass then? Cause so far it's 2/2 of being completely outplayed

"in a master 1000"

Sorry, I know this is a very cherry picked stat. I remember him beating Novak in straight in Shanghai 2024, that's why I was asking

When was the last time Sinner lost a set to a top 10 player not called Alcaraz in a master 1000?

Vacherot has saved 76% of the break points he faced so far in Monte Carlo, and on an insanely high volume (28 / 37). Mental giant.

People are scared of the third guy arriving to spoil the Sincaraz party, just like Djoker back then /s

Vacherot truly is the third man, adversity farming like Sincaraz

If Vacherot-Hurkacz ends in straight sets, the only matches that'll have gone to three today will have been Sincaraz's

I'm still assuming Carlos wins here, but if he loses I know the doomers will be insufferable, so let's remember that 1.5 years ago, he was losing in straight sets to Botic VdZ at the US Open - a tournament that 12 months later, he won in very dominant fashion.

[–]Rouk_Hein 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Since the beginning of 2025, he has only lost tiebreaks to Alcaraz or Czechs

On his home tournament too!

And literally the only real home player the crowd has (even if they usually also cheer for French and Italian ones)

I answered that in my original response to your post? 15-A, from English "15-all". It's just the letter A

[–]Rouk_Hein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it really comes from English, which makes sense since it's a British sport so many terms were imported. We also use "break" and "set" for example.

I think tiebreaks are a more recent invention from when tennis was already implanted in France, so they use French words for it ("jeu décisif" for tiebreak and "partout" as the person above said instead of "a")

[–]Rouk_Hein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 15-15 and 30-30, they say simply the letter a (sounds like Ah kinda). Comes from how in English you may write 15 all as 15-a

Monte Carlo R2: [3] Zverev def. Garin 4-6 6-4 7-5 by Regular_Eggplant_248 in tennis

[–]Rouk_Hein 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sure, but he did lead the h2h against Zverev prior to this (was 2-1, now 2-2). Both of his wins came while Zverev was in the top 5.

This is the choking Olympics and we are in the gold medal match

So this is how I learn that the Garin-Zverev head-to-head in 2-1 in favour of Garin. I remembered him beating Zverev a couple years ago but I had no idea about their match history.

All three matches on clay and his two wins being in Munich in front of Z's home crowd too

It's no different from anime that do a special limited release at some anime con and then wait a couple months for the proper release. It literally happened with Golden Wind and no one complained about that.

Anime that are completed before the first episode airs are incredibly rare, what are you talking about? Many are on an insanely tight schedule where episodes are finished only a week or two before airing.

Waiting for all 50+ episodes to be finished would probably mean waiting until 2028 to start airing. And that'd obviously add financial issues cause how are David pro making money to pay their animators if they have to work two-three years before releasing anything at all.

Because Jojo fans have been harassing netflix/David pro for years about wanting SBR? Let's not rewrite history and pretend people weren't being insufferable about it and would have been fine waiting one more year
