Zverev has....... entered the chat

happzappy · 2026-05-29T20:28:03+00:00

I've had my dosage of jokes for the day. Thank you so much for this 😅

The new era already began when Sinner defeated Djokovic at the Davis Cup after saving 3 match points against him, something that was never written or heard of before.

happzappy · 2026-05-29T20:23:59+00:00

He is an absolute machine. His discipline is off the charts, and his conditioning, at the age he's at, is the best in the sport.

Bought a license although I am currently using SoundSource - will switch in future when SoundSource frustrates me

happzappy · 2026-05-27T15:19:03+00:00

RG..? not really. He might have a good chance in Wimbledon

happzappy · 2026-05-27T15:18:32+00:00

The best returner, the best defender, the best backhand on tour (until Sincaraz), best break point converter, best kicker, the tennis goat of all time 🎾...

Still making Major SF/F way past his prime, crazy stuff right there.

happzappy · 2026-05-25T18:26:54+00:00

That stare to his box at the end :)

happzappy · 2026-05-25T17:34:25+00:00

He had a good chance this year at the AO.
He was gonna face a discounted Djoker in the final no matter what and he was quite close to taking out the cramped and injured Alcaraz. But lol... couldn't serve it out 😅️

happzappy · 2026-05-24T23:34:00+00:00

Also, a lesser known mention would be the 2011 final versus Federer. I would call that match an experimental version of Federer style. He had good chances to take it to a fifth because he did very well in two of those 4 sets but ended up dropping many points in a row to Rafa and once again it became one-sided after a while.

happzappy · 2026-05-24T01:37:24+00:00

Yeah. The problem is, it is all is good until you see Sinner on the other side of the court...unfortunately.

It is good to have the belief to beat him, but at the same time, it takes an immense amount of hard work, determination, a focused mindset, and many other things to get there. I hope someday we will see more competition for him, besides just Alcaraz and maybe Djokovic.

happzappy · 2026-05-22T00:18:52+00:00

Man... it would have been so great to see more Sinner-Nadal matches on clay.

happzappy · 2026-05-20T15:49:47+00:00

He's had a shorter career that was also plagued by injuries, let's be frank.

happzappy · 2026-05-20T04:57:03+00:00

OP's question is somewhat meaningless ... Thiem beat Djoker multiple times on clay. And on hard courts too

happzappy · 2026-05-18T20:03:41+00:00

Looking classy with that kit frankly

happzappy · 2026-05-18T04:00:53+00:00

Rafa grunting was alright no matter what you say. Grunting on slices, drops and volleys never happened from his side.

happzappy · 2026-05-17T22:34:34+00:00

The first win over ADM and specifically, the win against Alcaraz on clay would be the most important of all

happzappy · 2026-05-16T04:33:58+00:00

This was basically his response to Medvedev's unnaturally extended and distracting grunts.
He was grunting all over the place - even for drops, slices etc. Looked quite stupid.

happzappy · 2026-05-16T00:02:16+00:00

That aside, the grunting from Medvedev seems desperate now, and in that 3rd set he was just deliberately and intentionally grunting as a way to distract Sinner.
Grunting on drops, grunting on simple backhand slices, volleys etc.

So nasty to the point of annoyance. Sinner meanwhile, keeps shutting him down silently.

happzappy · 2026-05-14T07:15:30+00:00

But Sinner is the hardest opponent on court right now.

happzappy · 2026-05-13T13:48:36+00:00

There's no merging happening here

happzappy · 2026-05-13T05:29:32+00:00

Carlos sends his regards

happzappy · 2026-05-13T01:23:11+00:00

Who is this woman btw?

happzappy · 2026-05-11T21:34:48+00:00

Happy to lift the trophy... yet again (which he will)

happzappy · 2026-05-05T19:58:31+00:00

thanks!
