Dude is more than a serve-bot. That one-handed backhand is lethal. He drives straight through that one-hander. He should give some lessons on that shot to Tsitsipas.Mensik shook his hand. It was cold but so what. GMP then rolled his eyes.
The boring serve bot must have done something to annoy Mensik.
I don’t know about that.Dude is more than a serve-bot. That one-handed backhand is lethal. He drives straight through that one-hander. He should give some lessons on that shot to Tsitsipas.

That is a great website for tennis analytics.
Kids. No control lolI miss the quick old nod and handshake.
It's ok to be annoyed after a close loss, no one should "demand" a fake smile from anyone IMO.

I agree with this, but it's not even a handshake if the person doesn't look you in the eye briefly. No "fake smile" is required. No contrived warm words are necessary if they don't represent genuine feelings. No hearty pat on the back or the torso has to be part of the ritual. But sticking your hand out sideways for a passing touch while you continue to look and walk forward is not a handshake. It's petulant and unsportsmanlike.I miss the quick old nod and handshake.

Djokovic is by far the most gracious in defeat, no two ways about it.
“Have a nice flight home.” — Taylor Harry FritzI like a cold handshake. It’s a formality. Sometimes just a normal one is considered cold. People arent happy unless there’s smiles, hugs, kisses, tears. Most of that is fake. Cold handshake is just cool, we finished the match, didn’t enjoy it much but whatever, see ya.

Yes, you are among the few people analyzing this issue cleverly here.Because of a few guys that started it everyone expects the winner will give the loser a belly rub or a peck on the cheek at the net but Mensik wasn’t into it. On the WTA Tour you’re lucky if you get any part of a handshake.
I’m not judging what players do or don’t do to comfort their losing opponents. Maybe I would like a little belly rub if I lost that match.Yes, you are among the few people analyzing this issue cleverly here.
Also I add that it's good that men don't kiss each other after the match, same as some WTA players do.
OK, it's a plus not being judgmental.I’m not judging what players do or don’t do to comfort their losing opponents. Maybe I would like a little belly rub if I lost that match.Mensik wasn’t into it and GMP’s expectations were too high. Mensik just wanted to leave.
GMP and Mensik had another chance to kiss and makeup as they played each other in the Brisbane doubles semi final alsoBecause of a few guys that started it everyone expects the winner will give the loser a belly rub or a peck on the cheek at the net but Mensik wasn’t into it. On the WTA Tour you’re lucky if you get any part of a handshake.
Perricard has a lot of power on those forehands. He needs work on the backhand. He has decent slice.He has one of the worst backhands and one of the worst returns on tour. A few power drive backhands (and you can hit a one-handed harder than you can hit a two-hander) doesn’t change that.
Sore loser like nadal
Or maybe Mensik doesn't like Black people. I don't know. It could be anything.
Who won the doubles?GMP and Mensik had another chance to kiss and makeup as they played each other in the Brisbane doubles semi final also
That Dimitrov and Monfils moment is an all-time classic.
GMP and Jarry got thrashed by Lehecka and Jakob Mensik in the SF. I didn’t see the handshake thoughWho won the doubles?
Non era giusto, ma appena sufficiente.“Non era giusto, pero bravo.”![]()
