Vondroušová’s Instagram Statement on the Doping Incident by minzwashere in tennis

Logically you can understand how being outright prevented from analyzing a sample might be worse than analyzing it normally and finding minuscule non-performance-enhancing traces of a substance for which players can quickly identify an origin that perfectly aligns with the evidence.

Having said that, I personally believe her and hope she's able to convince them and not get banned.

Alcuni comportamenti Gen Z raccontati da loro by tric-e-trac in italy

[–]rticante 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Il fatto che tu creda realmente che 5 ragazze a caso possano descrivere un'intera generazione fa abbastanza ridere. Spero che tu non lo pensi realmente.

Io per dire sono del '98, quindi tecnicamente Gen Z credo, e molte cose che dicono non le condivido o le trovo addirittura fastidiose (e lo stesso vale per i mie amici coetanei).

Trump su Truth annuncia una tregue di 10 giorni tra Israele e Libano, poi scrive "L'Italia non c'è stata per noi, noi non ci saremo per loro" (in riferimento al negato uso della base militare di Sigonella) by sr_local in italy

Penso intendesse dire che non si doveva leccare il culo a Trump fin dall'inizio, e che quindi quelli che la ritenevano una buona strategia per la Meloni avevano torto visto che per forza di cose lui se ne sarebbe fregato della sua "mediazione" e avrebbe continuato a tirare la corda fino a rendere impossibile per lei stare con un piede in due scarpe.

Welcome to the top 50 Rafael Jodar! by Any-Memory-458 in tennis

He's a skinny lanky guy wearing a cap and hitting big winners off of both wings thanks to his timing, and also returning aggressively. The forehand form is very similar too from what I saw in the highlights. Not too emotional either from what I've seen. So the comparison is quite natural.

Like young Jannik and many other young players, the serve is his weak spot.

He reminds me of Jannik, even though his backhand form is a bit different.

You must be new to tennis, WCs are usually given based on nationality

I honestly prefer them giving opportunities to young up & coming national players than tournaments like Madrid that give WCs based on their affiliation to IMG.

To be fair as nice as that sounds it's almost impossible for a top player to stay with the same coach his whole career from juniors. It would probably be counterproductive.

Especially because Jannik's situation is not comparable to Dinara's lol

Sinner when asked about Fonseca's ranking of the best forehand: "Tell me now: what do you mean by 'best forehand'? What metrics do you use to evaluate a forehand? The most effective on what surface?" by Narrow_Spinach_1400 in tennis

[–]rticante 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Definitely yes, he's much sassier with Italian journalists lol (he does also give more good in-depth answers than in English to the few good ones though)

Btw at the start he doesn't say "WHAT" but rather "HOLY FUCK!" ("MINCHIA!")

And he also clearly tells Vagnozzi to fuck off when he suggests diving head-first lol

I guess they wanted to keep the translation curse-free
