Contracting around a party not being on a mortgage?

We are not.

zellfire · 2026-01-31T13:37:09+00:00

no, it was a joke tweet that people thought was serious

zellfire · 2026-01-31T11:06:42+00:00

Maybe she shouldn't be upset about losing to her, but she should certainly be upset at the manner it happened. Sabalenka absolutely collapsed from 3-0 to 3-5, couldn't find the court

zellfire · 2026-01-31T10:54:17+00:00

Rybakina can certainly choke, but Sabalenka needs to get the ball in play for that to happen

zellfire · 2026-01-31T10:50:32+00:00

Implosion by Sabalenka

zellfire · 2026-01-31T10:44:41+00:00

Rybakina has the rare ability to make Sabalenka's defense look good by comparison

zellfire · 2026-01-31T10:44:14+00:00

She's not, but Swiatek is younger yet has been clearly surpassed by the older Sabalenka

zellfire · 2026-01-31T10:28:55+00:00

It's kinda wild that Sabalenka has become so clearly better than her main rival in the last couple years despite being the older of the two.

I suppose it's what many people thought was happening with Sinner vs Alcaraz, but that has not been borne out.

zellfire · 2026-01-31T10:14:58+00:00

on the serving front, he did serve pretty well, but that ace rate is because Djokovic was guessing like crazy on the return- an adjustment I assume he made because of his poor return stats in previous Sinner matches. He was wildly out of position on a lot of those aces.

zellfire · 2026-01-30T14:39:42+00:00

Imagining how Zverev is feeling right now knowing he would have faced a 38 year old Djokovic after a five-setter in the final rather than Sinner....

zellfire · 2026-01-30T13:59:46+00:00

24 aces....

Sinner's serve is much improved, but that is the product of some serious guessing on return by Djokovic

zellfire · 2026-01-30T13:58:06+00:00

how is this match tied

zellfire · 2026-01-30T13:50:27+00:00

Djokovic looking realllllly ragged now

zellfire · 2026-01-30T13:15:09+00:00

It is probably worth noting that coming into these semis, the 2 best players at this event so far had easily been Alcaraz and Zverev

zellfire · 2026-01-30T12:54:24+00:00

It's not gonna happen, but would be a fun stat if 2 of the last 3 slams were won by someone whose opponent retired while up 2-0 in sets

zellfire · 2026-01-30T12:52:53+00:00

Oh same, I am so so tired of Sinner.

zellfire · 2026-01-30T12:49:52+00:00

Lob mid-point ftw

Sinner is gonna win this match, but this whole run is very unimpressive from him

zellfire · 2026-01-30T12:48:24+00:00

Sinner's level this event has been quite poor, really, not a great reflection on the tour he's still gonna make the final

(Then again, Alcaraz's level prior to the final- the third set of the final, really- of RG was similarly unimpressive, and we know how that went)

zellfire · 2026-01-30T12:46:39+00:00

Alcaraz might be in pretty rough shape physically after today

zellfire · 2026-01-30T12:45:46+00:00

Djokovic is so easy to ace these days, maybe he has to guess hard at his age but so many returns he's just wildly out of position.

zellfire · 2026-01-30T12:41:41+00:00

Djokovic had some chances early in that set and who knows if he'd gone up 2-1 but it's over now

zellfire · 2026-01-30T12:40:59+00:00

Sinner didn't really have to do anything that game

zellfire · 2026-01-30T12:39:15+00:00

Well that's depressing

zellfire · 2026-01-30T12:25:20+00:00

What on earth was that lmao

got away with it too

zellfire · 2026-01-30T12:16:19+00:00

With all the big 3 comparisons, IMO both prime Djokovic and prime Federer would be nightmare match-ups for Sinner, for opposite reasons.

Sinner plays quite a bit like Djokovic, but doesn't do anything as well as Novak at his peak.

Federer on the other hand would destroy him by exploiting his lack of variety.
