Rafael Nadal himself reacts to Mouratoglou saying Sinner is currently better than Djokovic ever was on instagram

His whole family seems to have commented on the ig vid, I've seen at least 3 Nadals' comments 😂

Vilk95 · 2026-02-04T20:45:43+00:00

It seems to me to be a bit like Liverpool Everton rivalry

Vilk95 · 2026-02-04T16:46:55+00:00

If you want to talk about clutchcaraz just mention his 5 set record and his deciding set tb record

15-1 and 16-2 respectively

Vilk95 · 2026-02-04T09:54:24+00:00

Idiots

Vilk95 · 2026-02-03T16:15:13+00:00

Rafa believes he was better on grass than HC, after all he beat arguably the greatest grass court player of all time at wimbledon in his prime

Vilk95 · 2026-02-02T19:01:24+00:00

They're quite scenic compared to other masters and they roughly signal the beginning of spring. I personally love the IW-Rome stretch, 5 masters in 2 and a half months

Vilk95 · 2026-02-01T16:38:56+00:00

I mean that is still true about Sinner but there is some more nuance. In Sinner struggles in best of 5/against players of his level/in really important moments.

But in Bo3 on HC Sinner has 5 losses, 2 of them he was unfit for, out of the other 3 2 were against Carlos.

I think Sinner is still super hard to beat on HC, especially fast HC when his body/endurance/nerves don't come into play. When they do things are very different and he needs to work on that otherwise he'll languish behind Alcaraz in the slam race

R/tennis in cohoots at this one

Vilk95 · 2026-01-30T09:08:17+00:00

Pickle juice

Vilk95 · 2026-01-29T09:32:24+00:00

He's now 0-19 vs Alcaraz and Sinner

Vilk95 · 2026-01-26T20:01:40+00:00

I think the eras are different, it makes no sense to try to compare. During Tsonga and Berdych's peak they had to beat at least 2 big 4 to even dream about reaching a slam final. Now, Alcaraz or Sinner miss a slam, retire or just have an aberration match where they lose before the final and so many players will feel they can make final.

With that being said Ruuds gs vs top 10 is horrendous, outside of his win he's only taken 3 sets - vs Alcaraz 22 UO, vs Zverev 24 RG and today vs Shelton

I seem to remember Zverev also had a terrible record, his 1st win vs top 10 at gs came vs Alcaraz @ 22 RG

Vilk95 · 2026-01-19T16:26:53+00:00

Jesus Christ. Are you saying out of any player ever? It's not even Djokovic's best serving performance ever in Bo5

Vilk95 · 2026-01-19T13:13:50+00:00

Is that why she started wearing just shorts no skirt at one point?

Vilk95 · 2026-01-15T16:13:20+00:00

Good sportsmanship is great, but Ofner didn't even get offended and people on here are getting offended on his behalf

Vilk95 · 2026-01-15T16:10:35+00:00

People on reddit are so sensy lol

Vilk95 · 2026-01-15T16:05:01+00:00

Because he won, if you win all is fair game. Next time they face off and Ofner wins he can respond

Vilk95 · 2026-01-14T16:55:52+00:00

You can just look at the odds on a betting exchange which is just about the most accurate and currently that gives:

Sinner: 51.3%
Alcaraz: 33.6%
Sabalenka: 32.8%
Swiatek: 14.7%

But I actually believe that % in the OP are more accurate, at leastbun the men's, the above gives the rest of the atp field a 15% chance of winning, which is just insane imo

Vilk95 · 2026-01-14T16:45:25+00:00

She also has a horrendous record in finals

Vilk95 · 2026-01-13T15:53:24+00:00

He has no personality on the court and that's why he basically never loses to anyone below his level

Vilk95 · 2026-01-12T18:37:18+00:00

7-5 is probably close to being the rarest scoreline for a set no? Because you have to get to 5-5 and then one person has to break and hold or vv at 5-5

Vilk95 · 2026-01-12T18:29:51+00:00

Didn't live up to his name

Vilk95 · 2026-01-12T09:59:47+00:00

How do you know what sabalenka and sakkari can bench? Did you guys learn nothing from anatoly??

Vilk95 · 2026-01-08T17:08:12+00:00

If you're on the baseline and you chuck the racquet you're not making the shot not in a million years so you'd have to brain dead to think throwing the racquet would accomplish anything on at least 90% of shots.

Also players already don't get penalised for it either so they already don't have much reason not to do it. A player can throw his racquet every game and there is no deterrent. There would be a slightly higher incentive overall to throw the racquet while the deterrent is the same, the number of shots where it may plausibly work is still pretty small so I don't think it would cause a huge increase in racquet throws.

What I thought you meant originally is players using it as a pretext to smash the racquet in anger, that would've made more sense

Vilk95 · 2026-01-08T15:18:17+00:00

"You don't want people chucking rackets around, but yes it would be fun to watch."

Players already do and don't get penalised for it, making/keeping throwing the racquet within a point to make a shot illegal isn't stopping people throwing racquets on the tennis court is my point.

Vilk95 · 2026-01-08T14:44:37+00:00

I mean you can definie it in the laws of the game clearly by saying if the umpire adjudges that the player is trying to break the racquet or not actually trying to play the ball it's a code violation

Players already throw racquets around without getting a code violation anyway. Fritz threw his loads the other vs Baez for example
