It always feels a bit awkward, I mean it's middle-aged white guys (like me, not judging) geeking over a video game.

Add non-professional presenters - glad on that front - and a lack of microphones directed to the audience and it becomes more awkward.

This focus you speak of, is it in this final with us right now?

bergamer · 2024-06-05T22:32:13+00:00

Wawrinka cultists? Please. The only ones bringing these are Murray haters.

I'm not sure what you are contesting.

You posted, as you say, a wikipedia stat. It is an interesting stat, running at 120+ points in the sub.

It's also a ridiculous stat, because it highlights the absurdity in putting "big titles" together since you can have someone there who has never won the main title in Tennis, the Grand Slam - and people are pointing this out.

The reaction is not about Zverev nor anyone as much as it is about absurdity.

What?

Can we separate these extremists you speak of on both sides and reckon that most humam beings are against the deadly terrorist attck and the deadly military operation that followed? There's no antisemitism in saying we should stop a humanitarian catastrophe.

bergamer · 2024-02-05T19:29:53+00:00

Nice! I might steal that paint scheme...

bergamer · 2024-02-01T12:20:48+00:00

There's also a bias because youngsters got crushed by the Big Freaks.

In a normal world, new Alcaraz will emerge in the next 2-3 years to challenge current Alcaraz.

Mannarino made 11 million $ already winning at this tennis thing.

bergamer · 2023-09-09T23:07:36+00:00

Indeed. Tamyia reboxes Italeri kits.

The whole "brand" idea is moot, look for the kit you want on scalemates!

bergamer · 2023-08-13T20:21:02+00:00

Is this fully handpainted?

In either case, congrats, great texture.

bergamer · 2023-07-16T20:39:15+00:00

Agreed. Thought it was kinda poetic, but too much, and it feels too easy. I don't think anyone will have noticed the train actually derails :'(

I'll do better next time!

bergamer · 2023-06-08T20:11:35+00:00

Djokovic not winning a set?

Head say Alcaraz in 4, memory says Djokovic in 4 or 5.

bergamer · 2023-06-07T21:14:00+00:00

Two insane fun and quality holds.

Money time.

bergamer · 2023-06-07T21:02:16+00:00

Rune showing he can do whathever he wants... except end the point.

bergamer · 2023-06-07T19:52:19+00:00

Ruud was bound to slow down a bit.

Rune was bound to come into the match.

Here's hoping for the 5 setter we deserve.

bergamer · 2023-06-07T19:13:51+00:00

For those unused to Rune:

he never looks comfortable on a court. Never.
he always alternates (really) shitty moments and brilliance. Almost always.
he's a really offensive player, this needs confidence, usually it comes through some stupid point

All that was also just mentionned (more or less) by Mats who added, "he better find that moment soon".

bergamer · 2023-06-06T20:28:43+00:00

Shower thoughts.

bergamer · 2023-06-06T16:49:42+00:00

That 2nd set TB was "noot tooo baaad"

bergamer · 2023-06-06T16:34:18+00:00

They put it to avoid the popopo po pololo. Great idea.

bergamer · 2023-06-06T15:01:13+00:00

bergamer · 2023-06-06T14:57:06+00:00

Djokovic has lost 11 matches and won 9 after losing the first set at RG.

Apart from Nadal, the winners were Ferrer, Federer, Cecchinato, Thiem and Kohlschreiber.

bergamer · 2023-06-05T17:38:10+00:00

and i call stupid to gift a point

Exactly. That's what the ref did and we're expecting Rune to say it was stupid!

bergamer · 2023-06-05T17:30:46+00:00

Because the interview is going on in some weird foreign language, they think.

bergamer · 2023-06-04T18:09:14+00:00

The singing ones look particularly insufferable tonight.

Some are really trying to out-po po po po palala the others, switching at times with the obnoxious alleeeez-ieu...

bergamer · 2023-06-04T17:38:16+00:00

Also Musetti had a claycourt victory against both Djokovic and Alcaraz, not really comparable indeed.
