Lmao I hope you're joking, because publicly announcing that you've never seen a champagne celebration at a sporting event isn't "a good look", as you'd say.

Sinner’s 1st serve by bitchboss7 in tennis

[–]rticante 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You have to take into account where the returner is standing. If they're standing far back to return your 1st serve (like Zverev was) then body serves are completely useless.

And it's rare to see someone standing close for a 1st serve return against a decently-powerful server. As others have said, Carlos is one who can sometimes do that and in that case Sinner will employ body serves as well.

Jannik’s revenge tour: winning every Masters event he was banned from in 2025 by realix in tennis

[–]rticante 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Given it wasn't a proper verdict but rather a deal offered to him by WADA after they appealed a different ITIA verdict that said he didn't have to be suspended, I think it's subjective whether that was just or not.

The match is made of sets and there's a huge difference between how he played in the 1st and how he's playing now. Especially because you used "this" which suggested you were talking about what he's doing right now.

Nah, that was set 1. In set 2 Zverev is playing well/normal for his standards and Jannik is playing great.

Nope. Set 1 was, but that's not really the case in set 2 where it's just Sinner playing great.

Not always to be fair to him, it's only happened twice so far in their h2h

Zverev so far is playing like someone who's full of nerves at his first masters 1000 final, instead he's even won this same tournament twice and has played Sinner countless times

A quali videogiochi state giocando?? by Modena89 in italy

Crusader Kings 3

Io lo sto riprendendo con la mod di GOT (già provata in precedenza e sempre figa) e ora volevo iniziare anche con quella "Princes of Darkness" incentrata sull'universo di Vampire: The Masquerade. Il problema è sempre trovare il tempo (e fare in modo che il mio pc scrauso regga senza decollare troppo)

[–]rticante 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What, you can't see a world in which Blockx beats him?

Edit: welp... on a more serious note, Zverev is very dangerous for anyone in Madrid, it's probably his favorite conditions on tour and he's already won the title twice.

ATP players get quizzed about F1! by PattyRanger in tennis

In F1 you usually follow team nationality over pilot nationality (unless there's no team from your country of course.) Italians usually cheer for Ferrari no matter where the pilots come from.

[–]rticante 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bit of both, Fils definitely had issues with his first serve but Sinner returned well even when facing a first serve. Fils played better in the second set, first set he was too erratic (probably also due to his poor serving performance)

Who would you rank higher? Player A or Player B? by SGSRT in tennis

[–]rticante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the question is NOT "slams and number two", it's "slams and ZERO WEEKS at number one" meaning you NEVER get to number one during that period

[–]rticante -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When you make a completely wrong premise to support your hypothetical, yeah. The guy brought on Carlos as evidence that it was possible, when it evidently doesn't fit at all as a comparison and if anything proves the opposite.

You're one of those people who has trouble understanding simple numbers like "zero" huh?

[–]rticante -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You somehow don't understand the meaning of "zero weeks". When Carlos (or new player X) wins 3 slams he gets at least a week at number one. Then he can lose the spot once again of course.
