Rune is on a 6-match losing streak.

[UnderratedSlam]

Ever since he whined about Ruud at the FO where he got a trashing, RuneGOAT has been losing.

Maybe it's the grass... Or maybe not. He lost both his post-Wimbledon clay matches, so this streak might be the real deal.

Can he hope to overtake Thiem?

Can he match Paire?

In short, can he make a mark on the ATP tour, and at such a young age?

Rune is on a 6-match losing streak.

 

[Rattie]

Karma! You should never speak to your mother like that.

 

[Pass750]

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy!

 

[alexio]

whereas grikspoor is on a 6-match winning..and odds were in rune favor before the match, beautiful

 

[Kralingen]

Hilarious that Pus ended up losing to this guy.

Rune was showing some real nice talent in the clay season though to be fair to him.

 

[Fabresque]

Good. Deserves to be punished for being an idiot.

Yeah he owned Zed (on a bad day, admittedly)

Karma! You should never speak to your mother like that.

I don't know her and can only say that some tennis moms are absolutely obnoxious, so I won't judge on that. In our youth at our local club we said much harder things anyway, and nobody really cared, not even the parents themselves. They rather laughed it off.

However, he said that he could easily imagine to beat Nadal's RG record, and THAT deserves some punishment.

 

[Zardoz7/12]

 

[Tennfan123]

Karma.

 

[Mustard]

He's still got some way to go to get to the Vincent Spadea record. 21 losses in a row there.

Rune had better get a move on to win his first French Open title, then

Ruud cheated him out of it.

It's always everyone else's fault to these kids.

 

[weakera]

Didn't Shapovalov just lose like 7 in a row?

 

[Lauren_Girl']

Give the guy a break. He just turned 19, he is the 2nd best player (under 20) after Alcaraz.

Doesn't matter if he has a losing streek. He already won a title this year (beating the world number #2 6-3 6-2) and reached his first GS Quarterfinal (beating 2 top-15). It was obvious was gonna struggle a bit after this. I'm not too worried about him, he'll be around for a very long time.
How many players have won a title and made a Slam QF before 20?

Speaking of Ruud, he has looked absolutely awfull too since that match. He lost 4 of his last 5 matches (Nadal, Penniston, Humbert, Cerundolo)
Except he is 4 years older than Rune. I would be much more concerned about him.

a peaking Peniston is the hardest challenge in tennis.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Since he "defeated" Nadal he had lost 6 in a row, including one to Rune, but won one match in Wimbledon.

He didn't win a title.

Zandschulp had a panic attack and handed it over to him despite being a break up in the 1st set.

 

[tennis_pro]

I didn't even know who he was until recently, saw some 2-3 highlights from him and I instantly hate him. GOOD.

 

[estigma2001]

He is closer now to break the Rafa´s record on RG lol

 

[Visionary]

I guess his mom has stopped cooking for him

 

[The Guru]

Man people are ruthless dude is 19 and immature and got caught up in the heat of competition. I'm sure all you saints have never done or said something dumb while in the heat of competition.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Good luck to the Dudley Dursley of tennis.

 

[Lozo1016]

Guess we're up to 7 now.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Been a long time since we have seen a strong cast of players from one generation. I think Obama was still in office.

 

[tennisjedi]

Ruud has placed a curse on Rune.

 

[I Am Finnish]

 

[Mainad]

"JAAAA"!!!

 

[Mustard]

Only another 14 to match Spadea. A more achieveable record than Nadal's French Open titles, I think.

 

[Mustard]

Didn't Shapovalov just lose like 7 in a row?

6 in a row, but then he won his first round match at Wimbledon before losing in the second round.

 

[BeatlesFan]

RuneGOAT has been losing.

Isn't this the tool who loudly proclaimed he'd win 15 French Opens?

 

[Sudacafan]

He deserves it (?).

 

[platypus50]

Great news - hope he keeps that streak going

 

[Backspin1183]

Y'all will have eggs on your faces when he wins 15 RG titles.

 

[Lauren_Girl']

He didn't win a title.

Zandschulp had a panic attack and handed it over to him despite being a break up in the 1st set.

So I guess Nadal didn't win RG this year then. Zverev exploded his ankle and let him grap the trophy. And Nadal didn't reach the final in Wimbledon 2007 either, Djokovic won the 1st set and then had a panic attack and couldn't breathe.

 

[ChaelAZ]

7th went down yesterday, without much notice.

 

[jm1980]

He didn't win a title.

Zandschulp had a panic attack and handed it over to him despite being a break up in the 1st set.

And this is Rune's fault... how?!

 

[Aabye5]

"JAAAA"!!!

He gets creamed in the RG final, and picks up yet another 250. There's a real top 10 player...

 

[aldeayeah]

a peaking Peniston is the hardest challenge in tennis.

stiff competition, indeed

Didn't Rafa have to beat your sweetie in order to even get to that semifinal at RG? At least Rafa beat 4 top 10 players to win RG, whereas your Serbian Honey didn't beat a single top 10 player to win the exhibition known as Wimby.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Uhm what

 

[UnderratedSlam]

I simply explained that Rune didn't win the final.

He was down a break, very nervous and tight, but not as tight as Zand who had a panic attack and quit the match. Which part of this confuses thou?

Uhm what

Wut ees confoozing heeeree?

Rune didna winna de final. My speech iss Finnish now.

 

[BeatlesFan]

People here have trashed Carlos for saying in May, "I am ready to win a slam." And he probably will win multiple majors in the future but many thought he made an arrogant statement.

But Rune making the asinine remark that he will win more RG's than Rafa is up there with the most delusional statement ever made by a tennis pro. His exact quote back in February was:

"Rafael Nadal is really inspiring and so bold a character. I work every day to be able to be as good as him. I'm not at his level yet. There's still some way to go, but I believe I can beat his record at the French Open."

What planet is this guy on? Nobody is beating Rafa's record there.

Ever.

Yeah one of the dumbest statements ever by a player. It would be silly even if he had 5 RG titles already. Let's see if he even wins one.

Wow. He actually said that?! Anyway, nvm all that, Nadal is a moving target at RG. He's not done winning titles there yet. Wouldn't shock if he won another 3 or 4 tbh.

 

[jm1980]

You win either by converting match point, or if your opponent is unable to continue for whatever reason

 

[helterskelter]

I’ve said before I think he can contend until around 2028 or 2029. Don’t think more than 3/4 more is likely - he won’t keep winning every year. Do you think he could keep contending even into the 2030s?

 

[Mustard]

Did people trash him for that? I thought that was for the claims by some that he's as good as 2005 Nadal, or that he would go on to achieve more than Nadal, Djokovic and Federer?

What planet is this guy on? Nobody is beating Rafa's record there.

Ever.

Well yeah. He's basically almost out of time to win his first French Open to keep any sort of pace, as Rafa did that at age 19. Rafa won his 9th French Open at age 28.

He's just getting his losses out of the way first so that he can win 16 RGs in a row
