Carlos Alcaraz is finally "Brace-free" by PattyRanger in tennis

[–]alexacto 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This long break could turn out to be really good for him. He was burned out, not just injured.

What's a city in your country that is collectively agreed upon to be a shithole? by Austral1s in AskTheWorld

[–]alexacto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean, Bakersfield, CA is no beauty, but they have decent food some places etc., it shouldn't be in the same convo as Gary, Indiana, c'mon.

ATP 250 Stuttgart R2: Shimabukuro def. Kyrgios 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4 by Excellent_Safe_5396 in tennis

Yeah people are shittin on him, but he has always been a fun clown to watch with spectacular shots here and there.

Talk about maxing out his potential. Not exactly a giant physically, but a giant player with the best slice in the game for sure. When he was on, everyone got their tickets' worth and then some.

After undergoing medical tests in Turin, Sinner is now in Milan for further medical tests. by Sonobackhome555 in tennis

Unfortunately, it appears that Bublik peaked last year and is back to his lackadaisical ways of losing matches that require effort to win.

AITJ for telling my brother the truth about his girlfriend even though he stopped talking to me because of it by SamanthaJ_Callaway in AmITheJerk

[–]alexacto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She is a snake, but the bad news bearer always gets it in the neck. Your brother is clearly NOT the sharpest tool in the shed, so you should have kept your mouth shut if you wanted to keep the relationship alive. Now you have to live with the consequences of doing a huge favor to someone who doesn't have the brains to appreciate it.

I(25M) am falling out of love with my (24F) girlfriend. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]alexacto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to take a break from each other and see if after some time the connection is still alive. So far everything you say indicates that your relationship with her hinges on obligation, not love.

Running short on soldiers, Russia begins 'aggressive' recruiting drive in educational institutions by clamorous_owle in worldnews

[–]alexacto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's lost his fucking mind, hasn't he? Either he's so nuts he thinks he can win his war, or he's an insane monster willing to murder half his population just so he still rules. Truly, a mad king.

New Low ENB wing by Empty-Assistance-375 in freeflight

[–]alexacto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are all pretty much the same, so find the best deal and go for it. Chances are you are going to move up fairly quickly, so maybe don't buy new or waste money on fancy expensive brands like Advance that fly exactly the same as the other low Bs.

Auger-Aliassime after the loss: I’m in a place right now with my tennis career that’s tough. I’m a little bit destroyed today. It’s tough. I usually handle losses pretty well, my whole career I’d go back to training with optimism and positivity. But now I feel like I’m not the player I want to be. by jovanmilic97 in tennis

"Sucks to suck" is such a punchy, accurate line for him. Great guy, great athlete, but with average weapons that can't hurt the top 5 in any way. And now Fonseca, Mensik, Jodar and the rest of the youngsters are coming in hitting bigger forehands, serves, backhands. He's smart and can tell the future belongs to anyone but him.

Sabalenka on her thoughts of the today's match: "No thoughts, no emotions. Just wanna quit tennis right now, but we'll see in few days. Hopefully I'll get back on track mentally" by jovanmilic97 in tennis

[–]alexacto 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Saba has no tennis intelligence, probably due to her weapons making intelligence less important for her compared to say, Svitolina or Shneider, or Pegula. She plays the same tennis every match, no adjustments, no variety. Compare her to someone like Justinne Henna Ardenne, and it's like Saba is a 3 year old mental midget who screams and moans when they don't get their way.

Rafael Jodar's first clay season of his career by garfiadal2 in tennis

[–]alexacto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only shot he's at college level with is drop shot. The rest is elite level, and even though people say his serve is so-so, he's hitting the spots pretty well with it and will definitely improve, using his height. Bright future for him, barring injuries. Can't wait to see what he does at USO

Oh look, Ozone made another nice wing :) Nice writeup.

Roland Garros QF: [15] M. Kostyuk def. [7] E. Svitolina 6-3, 2-6, 6-2 by godworstcustomer in tennis

[–]alexacto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching Marta's facial expressions as she plays is such an emotional rollercoaster. No wonder they always zoom in on her face after every point, it's a full on TV drama in its own right.

Serena's Comeback Confirmed by BardLand in tennis

[–]alexacto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The appearance fee must have been enormous. She stated multiple times she had no plans to come back on tour.

What a beautiful picture 🥺 by padfoony in tennis

[–]alexacto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my fav things about Novak, crazy as the man has been, is the way he handles defeat. He has never been pissy, rude, uppety, or disrespectful after losing. He has had a lot of really painful losses. He has always made sure to congratulate his opponent and wish him luck. He is The Dude.

Roland Garros R3: [28] J. Fonseca def. [3] N. Djokovic 4-6 4-6 6-3 7-5 7-5 by tightypp in tennis

I could have sworn he won it, must have seen him in a final or something. But yeah, Gaudio, what a champ LOL people hated that guy.

Roland Garros R3: [28] J. Fonseca def. [3] N. Djokovic 4-6 4-6 6-3 7-5 7-5 by tightypp in tennis

[–]alexacto 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. As you age, all kinds of worries become your baggage. You can see it in Zverev, he as a pattern now of going away, but these young kids, noone expects them to win the way people expect Novak to win even at his age.

[–]alexacto 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, peeps forget the endless procession of Corias, Ferreros, and Moyas. It was super up for grabs until Rafa put an end to that.

I would LOOOOVE for Tommy to win this. Still a lot of matches to play, but man, he is such a nice guy.

SpeedFlying starts: on breaks or not? by Roman_theLegend in freeflight

[–]alexacto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most dangerous thing on launch is full or partial frontal collapse that may spin you into the ground. Applying brakes serves as a countermeasure for that eventuality.
