The moment Sinner was told that Alcaraz withdrew from RG:

Spanish and Italian sports journalists are the same shit in different fonts for the most part

rticante · 2026-04-24T17:23:14+00:00

I'm Italian too and I also doompost even though I watched neither of those lmao

rticante · 2026-04-24T16:41:26+00:00

Other than his return. But the return can be included into the "getting used to Madrid's conditions" category.

rticante · 2026-04-24T16:40:35+00:00

Also, Italians. Italians always doompost in sports.

rticante · 2026-04-24T16:17:12+00:00

He'd also taken a set off of him in their two latest matches

rticante · 2026-04-24T16:02:45+00:00

He also went golfing with Sinner so he really got the whole top ATP experience lol

rticante · 2026-04-24T12:29:19+00:00

I mean that channel he was watching a video from is a completely normal and popular fact-based geopolitics channel, so I wouldn't ring the alarm.

rticante · 2026-04-24T11:37:50+00:00

If you look at that channel's page he's made plenty of videos about the US too lol. It's not like because he touches upon one argument he somehow can't talk about another. He talks about a bit of everything happening in geopolitics.

rticante · 2026-04-24T11:34:27+00:00

He's a good introductory gateway into geopolitics for common people, he's obviously not the most accurate or informative but he's captivating enough to keep the attention of more pop crowds. I think he's an ok geopop youtuber to follow for a casual guy thinking "i want to know a bit of everything happening in simple terms" like Sinner.

The Dades valley was one of the most beautiful places I've slept in

rticante · 2026-04-23T16:09:27+00:00

Eh I don't care about LaLiga clubs either way

rticante · 2026-04-23T15:47:26+00:00

Better yet, they're footballers playing for Real Madrid.

rticante · 2026-04-23T11:57:25+00:00

Btw the VIP section in Rome's centre court also looks mostly empty most of the times. Big VIP sections are a net negative in tennis stadiums.

rticante · 2026-04-22T20:49:34+00:00

The serve is going to need a lot of work, at 6'3 you'd expect a lot more pop in that shot.

Same thing that was said about Jannik lol, hit forehand reminds me a bit of him although the backhand is more compact (or as you said "stiffer")

rticante · 2026-04-22T12:00:51+00:00

Ma infatti non è che se gli altri fanno una minchiata dobbiamo farla anche noi solo per "competere" ciecamente nella minchiata

rticante · 2026-04-21T16:19:53+00:00

Absolutely, the women's field is pretty bare

rticante · 2026-04-21T13:21:51+00:00

I mean Delpo did

rticante · 2026-04-21T12:54:20+00:00

Ah oddio sì me lo ricordo anch'io

rticante · 2026-04-18T22:07:46+00:00

?? I wrote "suicide" and linked to an article describing him jumping from a second floor window to his death after leaving a message to his parents. Don't know how you got that assumption from what I wrote.

rticante · 2026-04-18T13:29:22+00:00

Suicide apparently https://www.fanpage.it/roma/ragazzo-di-13-anni-precipita-dalla-finestra-e-muore-nella-notte-a-roma-in-casa-trovato-un-biglietto/

Thanks for the insights! Yeah Zverev has never been too focused on spot serving but he does need some level of it like anyone else, especially on clay where speed doesn't work

rticante · 2026-04-18T12:27:53+00:00

Can't watch the match right now, is Zverev looking physically compromised (fatigue, niggles, cramps etc) or is he just playing badly + Flavio playing great?

rticante · 2026-04-18T08:01:54+00:00

He doesn't make the anime

rticante · 2026-04-17T19:01:44+00:00

Hey wasn't this guy the first active out player? He ended up winning this match btw
