I just hope Rune doesn't end up being what Murray was to Big 3, to Sinner and Alcaraz. Murray was almost as good but achieved way less. Rune is still only 20, and I think he should start winning slams from next year or the year after, otherwise he could end up like Murray to Sinner & Alcaraz.

This article about Tim Henman makes me LOL:
"Come on, Tim." Is there any more depressing sound to be heard in June and July in England? The voice is invariably well-bred and slightly tentative, as if its owner knows that one really should not shout in public unless one happens to be playing a game of beach cricket with the family on the sands of Cromer. It contains a note of uncertainty, the desperate, unmistakeable timbre of anticipated defeat.
The sound of the crowd at Wimbledon has none of the bullying swagger of a decent football chant or the reedy enthusiasm of schoolchildren cheering on athletes at Crystal Palace. Here it is individual, ill-timed and despairing.

Why Tim Henman is a stupid role model
German fans like their heroes to be truculent but effective: we go for nicely brought-up bores

I'm from Germany, and I would have thought the exact opposite. When I was a kid everyone in my family and literally any adult I knew always hated any sportsperson with a "bad boy" image and begged me to never have someone like that as an idol.
On topic here with Rune:
I was very surprised when BeatlesFan started expressing her love for Rune. I mean, she called so many young players "spoiled brat" or predicted them to never win a Slam, being a choker and a waste of talent and so on, and then she loves the one who looks like the EPITOME of all that.
I would have fully expected to find him in her Zverev/Tsitsipas category of dislike.

Sometimes you love despite and not because. BeatlesFan was Rune’s biggest critic.
Let’s hope TTW lets her back in.

Tiger Tim lol. Pros are just people, they make wrong predictions all the time. I still remember when McEnroe predicted Donald Young to win a CYGS.
Never saw that potential in Rune to be honest. Just doesn't strike me as the guy who has the game or attitude to reach #1 and win slams. But hey, he's still young, he might prove me wrong (good for him if he does).

I have a pretty good idea.. At the time I didn’t think anything of it, but I read she posted a link and somebody got malware on the pc - a reinstall fixed it. I don’t think she had any malicious intention and I saw she apologized.
She was something special. I remember a thread where she posted some questions from an Intelligence test and basically told the people in the thread were too stupid to solve it, but she said it in a way that was so indirect, that people didn’t respons to it. I laughed so hard.
I know not all here feel the same way, but I liked her a lot.

She was one of our best posters. I hope she will be allowed to come back!
