Is it just me or does this new gen fist pump every point they win, especially Alcaraz?

It's the combination of the reactions being forced along with often being at odds with the quality and/or importance of the point played that produces an uncanny valley effect.

Sinner's one of the funniest because he'll lean into fist pumps/racket shakes when he's only done half the job in a game then revert to his usual shell shocked, gormless looking self as the game slips away.

Thank you for calling that out. No way can one include Nadal along with Fed or Djoko on the fair play vector.

I wonder why Rafa bashers are constantly cheating readers. What's wrong with them?

Yikes.

Same, this seems to be the recent trend and especially with Rune/Sinner/Tiafoe/Shelton. That’s something I never really saw until this current generation of players
