What a timeline :sick:. Abuserev beating Nadal at RG by getting him indoors in R1 and beating Djokovic at the AO after a cakewalk draw because Djokovic had an injury I really, really hope that is not Djoker’s last match at the AO

The thing is who really cares anymore? Even if the injuries are legit, they’re almost never bad enough to actually materially affect his tennis for more than a set or two. I can think of maybe 2 - the shoulder injury at USO 19 and the one at RG 24 - that have actually had any proper...

He’s clearly prime on grass already (possibly even peaked) and most likely clay. Hard courts… nah. He’s like young Ned in that sense. Not all guys enter their prime on all surfaces at the same time (a fact that our resident Djoker fans cannot compute, ofc)

Dude magically recovers from mystery illness within 2 days! No more shaky carrot boy! Clearly has a good team around him

No one believes Sinner lol. This is like when he had “tonsilitis” which was supposedly so bad that he had to miss the Olympics and then he was filmed kissing his gf’s face off within a day or two and frolicking in the ocean… classic recuperation This is a guy who probably intentionally doped...

Hmmm. Hmmmmm Let’s see how things go in the next few hours. If he really does have f*cking pneumonia, AdM with all his scrambling on a slowish HC should be an absolute drain for him I’m not buying it tbh

All trolling aside, perhaps we can reflect on the performance of a certain 21 year old Roger Federer at the AO, who didn’t even make it to the goddamn QFs, before we cast Raz’s career permanently in the bin Imo he is going to have a perfectly good HC career for an ATG, probably featuring over...

He’s not beating 2018 AO Fed tbh. And considering Raz lost to a Nadal who was 35 years and 10 months old with a cracked rib during Raz’s best hard court season (by results and level) to date, idk if this is much to boast about on HC

Dw Ned fans even if Djoker retires Sinner or Abuserev will just beat Raz instead Although there’s a dark timeline where Alcaraz breaks the youngest CGS record purely because Djoker has retired and Sinner is banned

Lmao donkus, usyk and biotic, all the bots are turning up. Did not expect this to get so good

For f*ck’s sake what a ridiculous and predictable situation

Early prediction here is that Alcaraz never, ever produces anything on HC remotely close to AO 09 or USO 10. They’re in that tier of levels we put in hypotheticals with USO 11 Djoker or USO 06 Fed to generate discussions. Why? Ned was powerful off both wings, fast, deadly on the passing shots...

He should commit to it as his plan A tbh. We’ve seen enough tournaments now to know he can do it well and he will get crushed if Sinner is healthy unless he nukes the ball off both wings

It’s incredible stuff really. We keep trying to shut the door on his career and he keeps changing the trajectory of rivalries or stories about his relationship to surfaces or events

Right now Raz is around where Ned from 06-08 was on HC, perfectly capable of occasionally producing a great Bo3 peak level on outdoor HC but not in a position to do it really in Bo5

I don’t want Alcaraz or Abuserev winning HC slams just because you’re gone

while I disagree that this is the final before the final today, I think it’s fair to say that based on Abuserev’s performance today, this is the de facto semifinal before the final. He ain’t stopping whomever wins today

Another Wambulance Brigade cult post??? Really??

I have changed my vote to Djoker because of Sinner’s weird physical issues today. If he’s carrying something like at Wimbledon then he’s toast against a Djoker, Zverev or Alcaraz

Alcaraz must be the only top, top player whose RoS gets worse on clay compared to other surfaces, it's absolutely ridiculous maybe Federer too with the BH facing heavy topspin, but at least he had an excuse there of sorts

How would you rank these for hype? Imo it went something like 1. RG 2023 - at the time I went nuts for this as did most of the sub as it was their first clash in a slam, a proper generational battle, Alcaraz was the in form clay guy but Djokovic the co-favourite for the title given his history...

Absolutely fuming that the match is night session (as expected) because I’m stuck in an all day workshop from 8am and the match is scheduled to start at 9ish. Would have worked from home otherwise. Watch this be a 5 hour classic now

Let’s see how he approaches Alcaraz and Sinner and then judge. I doubt any fundamental stroke changes have been made but we’ll see how his tactics evolve. Against Alcaraz, Djoker’s never needed help on HC or clay but Sinner is a different prospect - I thought Djoker played well at Shanghai, but...

Mmm it was an aberration until he did it again in his next Bo5 match vs Sinneraz at the Wimbledon 24 F. I know he had the knee problems that time but it’s not a great excuse considering he looked almost flawless in the 2 previous matches. It’s either the case that the rest of the tour can’t...

I saw some pundit comparing Fonseca beating Rublev to Federer beating Sampras and Kyrgios beating Nadal. There was so much wrong with all of these being mentioned in the same sentence lol

This is my feeling too. Beats Alcaraz in 4, Zverev in 4 or 5 and then loses to Sinner in 4. Hope I’m wrong because I want a winner’s trophy of any kind for Murray so badly
