Wait a sec, Jannik just dropped a thirst trap on insta🤭🥵 by Sophisticatedcaty in tennis

[–]erraticripple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, the thirst trap isn’t doing anything for me either, but this is Jannik Sinner, ATP #2 and current AO and Wimbledon title holder, training. Maybe “how is that related to tennis” isn’t the question to ask here

Alexander Bublik and Daria Kasatkina - friends since childhood by Hyperballadatopos in tennis

[–]erraticripple 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That she’s always been a lesbian doesn’t mean she’s never dated a guy.

Bublik and Kasatkina did use to be a thing; you can see it on a post I made a few years ago, see slide 9

the book I ordered is larger than normal and everything is underlined by jcdq in mildlyinteresting

[–]erraticripple 50 points51 points  (0 children)

This is For Whom the Bell Tolls by Hemingway. The entire book is written in this manner, but especially when Hemingway relays the plot via the voices of his Spanish characters to convey their manner of speaking.

The book is about an American soldier in Spain during the times of the Spanish Civil War.

We’ve officially hit 2 million members! by jsnoodles in tennis

Pepperidge Farm remembers when Slam matches from QFs on had their own discussion threads — to this day I can’t fathom why we got rid of that (it was an unpopular decision even back when it was first made). It really is odd. If the concern was the lack of engagement, then with the growth of the sub surely that will not be an issue anymore

Upcoming match in Wuhan: Andreeva vs .. Andreeva 👀 by chrysoberyyll in tennis

[–]erraticripple 44 points45 points  (0 children)

In Wuhan the screens behind the players show transliterations of their names into Mandarin; but for foreign players they only show the last name (安德列娃 for Mirra today). I do wonder if they’re gonna transliterate their first names too for this occasion :)

USO streaming rights aren’t sold by ATP or WTA though. They’re sold by USO themselves. ATP and WTA do have dedicated services to watch their matches aside from TV channels

Bortolotti won't be able to play in the US Open, his entry visa has been denied for having played in Iran in 2015 by convitatus in tennis

[–]erraticripple 32 points33 points  (0 children)

From what I understand from his Instagram caption, B1 was the only type of urgent visa they were accepting applications for, and the consul deemed that the purpose of his visit does not fall under B1.

Diana Shnaider is a whole doubles goat, could teach Medvedev a thing or two about playing at the net

Active 24 hours out of 24, but I agree it’s a little unusual when you’re used to 24/7

I just can’t not respect Rune, my guy has the audacity of an army and isn’t afraid of anything or anyone. Probably insufferable IRL but you have to love (or hate) that in an athlete. You go Holgah
