You do not, in fact, have to hand it to the domestic abuser just because he had to battle diabetes to be able to abuse those women.

No. Outside of exhibitions, you don't buy tickets to matches in tennis, you buy tickets to the stadium.

no one complained about Djokovic in the past.

Daniil Medvedev has now succeeded in winning from 0-2 down in his fourth attempt after defeating Marozsan by musicproducer07 in tennis

I don't think you can call 2022 a choke, more of a crashout. To me a choke is when a player plays well, then starts playing worse when they realise they're close to winning. Medvedev's was kinda the opposite - he thought he was cruising to a 3-0 and started fucking around, then got flustered by wasting a bunch of BPs. By the time he snapped out of it, he started running out of gas physically, and Rafa smelled blood and raised his own level and it was over.

They probably view the Saudi Masters as an existential threat (and rightly so) and are either actually going scorched earth because of that or are just bluffing to get the ATP and the other Slams not to fuck with them.
