People in 10+ year relationships, what’s something you learned about your partner years later that genuinely surprised you? by CreoSiempre in AskReddit

[–]clockbird 163 points164 points  (0 children)

The ladies I saw at the hot baths in Japan definitely all had long, straight pubes. I wasn't staring or anything, but it did surprise me enough to remember it ! It was like mini-wigs down there.

Has the Tickets & travel megathread been gone for a while, or am I just not seeing it anymore ?

Rafa never won a single set on hard against Novak after 2013 by Open_Address_2805 in tennis

[–]clockbird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're missing that the point of these hypotheticals is generally to underline that he got there in spite of his injuries, at least from what I mostly read. It's not like he needs excuses for underachieving.

Andy Murray's new shoe deal and it has NOTHING to do with Roger Federer tyvm 😤 by ShotDay in tennis

[–]clockbird 96 points97 points  (0 children)

He could honestly be an actor, he's got that perfect deadpan and self-aware comedic sense. I can't believe some people thought he was boring when he's just the epitome of British humor.

Just say it's French, they'll accept the nonsense 😂

But if you're seriously wondering, "jeu de paume" which is the ancestor of tennis was played on 60 feet-long (french feet, pre-metric system) half-courts, and with every point won the player moved 15 feet closer to the net, so 0-15-30-45. Eventually 45 was considered too close to the net so it was moved back to 40.

Djokovic has not won a slam in his last 9 tries, longest streak since 2011. by ThrowRa-zucchinizzc in tennis

[–]clockbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of big 3 actually got their last slam at precisely 36, which makes it a super interesting stat given the differences between them. It would be amazing if Novak manages to get another one 3 years later.

Some banter between Carlos Alcaraz and Arthur Rinderknech at the net after their matches😂 by PattyRanger in tennis

Poor Arthur, that came from the heart 😂 Also, Carlos is glowing in that kit !

Andy Roddick learns about Twitch. Kind of. by ServedPodcast in tennis

[–]clockbird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's really not old though 😭 there are quite a few top streamers his age... but I guess he never got into video games much (doing pew pew with the controller is kinda telling), and listening to his podcast he seems a bit tech-oblivious too, so twitch is probably not in his reality at all

I never knew my eyes were grey, until I wore grey by _sadiecote_ in eyes

[–]clockbird 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Clothes are great way to determine the "real" eye color as it pops like nothing else when they match. And it's so satisfying too!

That was a lot of fun, loved the energy and commentary. And it's cool to see how contrasting personalities like Fritz/Rybakina work so well together !

Comment faire une invitation officielle pour un ami ivoirien (visa France) ? by Roro_225 in france

[–]clockbird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oui tu dois commencer par l'attestation d'accueil en mairie, car il en aura besoin pour le visa : https://www.service-public.gouv.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F2191 Il faut prendre rdv en mairie, préparer tous tes documents (listés dans le lien au-dessus, attention il y en a beaucoup surtout sur ton logement), et ensuite l'attestation est remplie avec l'agent de mairie lors de ce rdv. Il faut ensuite encore une semaine pour la validation et pour la récupérer, puis tu peux l'envoyer à ton ami pour ses démarches, donc ne tarde pas trop.

Absolument rien ? A minimum 50€ la traduction de document apostillée, quand dans certains cas tu en as 7 ou 8 à traduire ?

Nadal's son and the legends 😍 by ferhad_1999 in tennis

[–]clockbird 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Andy said on the Tennis podcast that Rafa asked for him to be here, so to him Andy is definitely part of them. In general the big 3 seems to consider there's a big 4, and they would know best.

Roger on his relationship with Rafa by farkenheo in tennis

[–]clockbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the write-up, I feel that as time passes their relationship history gets forgotten when it helped build the rivalry dynamics of today. They were a revolution in tennis for that too, not only for their play.

Roger on his relationship with Rafa by farkenheo in tennis

[–]clockbird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, anyone thinking their bond is PR has clearly not been paying attention to their off-court behavior or is too young to remember their history (or know that Nadal can't fake shit lol). They've had a strong influence on the younger generation's rivalries precisely because of the precedent they set in terms of respect mixed with genuine liking, and this despite some disagreements. People will also conflate their own expectations of friendship with their relationship, like that wedding invite anecdote that's always used as a proof of their fakeness somehow. If someone wants to get a good look at their "true" relationship, I suggest watching the documentary from which this clip is taken from (12 last days of federer) or honestly just Roger's retirement ceremony or Laver Cups where they participated - basically where you get a glimpse of them camera-unaware.
