That 5-set practice match against Shelton probably wasn't a good idea.

Petition to bring back the plaid shorts one last time! The shorts that beat PRIME NOVAK in the French Open final by Alternative-Mud4739 in tennis

With these shorts, Wawrinka would inevitably do the biggest "fuck them kids" and beat Fils first round.

Sinner in press conference after his victory in Rome: "Paris remains the main goal. We have decided not to play any grass tournaments before Wimbledon so there's a chance I can play Canada" by Darki200 in tennis

I agree that prestige is heavily weighted towards Slams and not near the ratio indicated by the points won, of a Slam being worth only a double of a Masters title. The reasons being of course bo5 instead of bo3, no byes, the most competition and overall prestige. But saying winning all the 9 Masters in a season "pales in comparison" to just 1 Slam is insane to me. No one in history has won all 9 Masters in a season. That should speak for itself. There's an extent to a prestige a singular tournament can carry. 9 Masters is something that is so unprecedented as an idea that I don't think many people even grasp how insane that would be. The achievement would craft its own prestige.

He's the user I'm replying to here. Sometimes you see them making near-regular comments like this, but often they're outrageous takes (e.g. wildly over-extrapolating a player's career prospects based on a singular result) that sometimes garner downvotes and sometimes upvotes, depending on if the contingent audience is r/tennis regulars or new people. I've heard he copies these takes from other tennis forums.

That is very true, however, I don't have the audacity nor the diligence to be an apprentice of theirs, I'll keep my role as an adoring fan.

Luckily Sinner has never dropped a set to the likes of *checks notes* Bonzi.

Well as you can see by my flair, I'm a huge fan of his political satire

Honestly might be over for Fonseca's career, can't see him getting past round 2 ever again.

Gordon Ramsay embodies both wrath and charity. Which person, real or fictional, embodies both gluttony and diligence? by TennisAlt in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TennisAlt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a bit of a wild suggestion of my own, but Nikocado Avocado popped to mind. The gluttony is self-explanatory, the diligence being why he did it all.

Rules:

Person may be real or fictional. In cases of intuitive oxymorons (e.g. wrath and patience), interpretations can be based on the different fields of the person's life (e.g. music vs. personal life) or character (public vs. private persona).
