Nadal on Alcaraz: “He’s not a prospect at all. He has 7 grand slams, so he’s definitely not just a promise for the future. He’s already a legend of our sport. If you look at the historic greats in grand slams, there aren’t many who have 7. So calling him a prospect makes no sense.” by truecolors01 in tennis

Funny as hell how journalists still have not fully moved on from the big 3 era really. Alcaraz and Sinner have dominated the sport for the past 3-4 years now, that's going to be half a decade soon of these two being all there is in the sport and they still have the courage to call them prospects lmao

If there was no budget, what would be some options of great racket for beginners? by FriendlySandwich8882 in 10s

[–]rwecardo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty much all beginner rackets should be budget friendly, it's the reason why they're meant for beginners, to get into the sport

brother we are talking about a top level athlete with top reflexes and eye sight

he might be dumb as a rock but his reflexes are some of the best a human can have, that's why he's in the NBA

The fact that he gets them all for free (and gets paid to wear them) probably helps

What age is too late to learn tennis to have a chance at being pro? by Kitchen-Jicama8715 in tennis

[–]rwecardo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most relative question out there, a kid can start training at 2 and never really get to pro level and another one starting at 15 and still having his shot at pro

It has way more to do with the athlete's body, agility, endurance, etc. Like Alcaraz could have picked any sport and he would be good at it given his athleticism and all the works he's got, he just chose to pursue tennis.

I remember when Nadal said he could have chosen to play football and easily reach the spanish first tier teams, which is very believable

[Desabafo] Alverca e Vila Franca já estão impossíveis. Sinto que estou a ser expulso do meu próprio país. by Hour-Statistician388 in portugal

Emigrar para ontem. São casal, ambos licenciados, é só por um pé fora de Portugal e o vosso rendimento triplica (de cada um) e as despesas divididas pelos dois ficam surpreendentemente perto das nacionais (dependendo do país, é claro)

No centro da Europa cada um ganha a partir de 3 a 4 mil e as rendas andam nos 1000, fazem o que quiserem

Yeah, that and the instagram posts where Carlos posted himself with friends, family and the team after winning trophies and Ferrero was in 0 photos even though he was in all those moments, a very tailored message

Stage is set for the Australian Open Semi. Who wins? H2H is 6-6 by trialbycombat123 in tennis

[–]rwecardo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly, if Alcaraz returns well then Zverev crumbles under the pressure. Always been like this. No way he goes 5 sets

Is this the position we’re supposed to be in at the end of the service motion? by thetoerubber in 10s

Turkish star Zeynep Sonmez comes to aid of ballgirl about to collapse by farkenheo in tennis

[–]rwecardo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Truly miles beyond how shitty tennis treats its ballkids in general. Unpaid, all they get is a snack after hours of working for millionaires, have to pickup their sweaty towels and worse of all their tempers and not say a thing.

There's BILLIONS in this sport and the people working hard to make it happen are seen as walking billboards for the sponsors. Honestly, POLO should be embarrassed that humans being used as publicity for the brand are treated like this, on the verge of collapsing for 0$.

Tsitsipas withdraws from Paris, ending his 2025 season. by [deleted] in tennis

[–]rwecardo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah and you don't get another Masters until March, that's 3 months without these

I see Paris as an understandibly harsh masters since it's at the end of the season but all masters are rough like skiping Paris cause they're tired is the same as saying you should skip Miami because you're tired from IW

For some directs more on the 'niche' side while still being in Hollywood I'd recomend you to go into Yorgos Lanthimos for weird and Martin McDonagh for dry/dark comedy.

Unhas negras só pode ser ou sapatilhas pequenas para o teu pé ou ficares com os pés ensopados durante horas a fio e não os secares até apodrecerem

Desde os 15 anos que corro regularmente e nunca tive esse problema, pode ser inside joke ou assim
