This might be one of the most degenerate ATP Top 5’s we’ve had in recent history, who’s to like?

Man, with this recent news rocking up it’s been tough, now. Seeing the ATP Top 5 in this shape is horrible, not good for the sport.

We’ve got the world no.1 being accused of doping, the ATP protecting him for 5 months because marketing, and him not even taking responsibility for his actions.

He went from tour darling to the most hated player in the world within a few hours.

Then here’s this fella. Smashing racquets like he’s Marat Safin.

Blaming the court surface for his below par performances.

And of course blowing smoke with huge arrogance before matches. Arrogance that he isn’t called on because “omg Carlitos”.

Just another degenerate.

Probably the worst one of the lot coming up. Been accused of not one, but TWO ex-girlfriends of beating them. One of them had pictures and claimed he put her head through the wall.

He’s also famous for smashing racquets. Not just on the ground, on an umpires foot.

This guy’s teetering on the edge of pure evil.

And finally, we come to an octopus. An absolute pillock. Apparently he cheats on his wife regularly (allegedly, no proof).

He’s screamed at his coach and removed him from the stands.

And worst of all, his playstyle is ultimate degeneracy. Fedfans vomit profusely when they watch him. How dare he.

Geez.

But wait, we missed a spot.

We’ve covered numbers 1, 3, 4, and 5. How about number 2?

This guy stuck to his beliefs. Even when his closest compatriots and peers threw him under the bus.

He accidentally hit a line judge, immediately rushed over to apologize, and took his punishment like a man.

He treats his body like a temple. He’s a loving husband and father.

Not only that, but he’s also the greatest player of all time.

The Top 5 isnt fully degenerate, we’ve got a shining light thanks to Djokovic. Hop the ship Sinner/Alcaraz/Zverev/Medvedev fans. Greatness tastes as sweet as the gold.

God save tennis once Djokovic and Nadal retires. But I have Faith in Razmatazz!

[Lleytonstation]

Give Carlos time. He may grow on some. Could bring us to new heights.

 

[KingCarlitos]

If the universe is infinite then it is bound to repeat and another world exactly like ours shall exist, therefore If tennis goes on forever, Novak is bound to repeat, Novak fans don’t jump boat yet!!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Lol this thread is pure gold.

Well done OP.

 

[GloW]

Zverev has already tasted gold. B)

Earth's Least Degenerate Warrior!

Thank goodness for Djokovic. Imagine if the whole top 5 were racket smashers? That would be unbearable!

Wait, Djokovic has never thrown or broken a racquet?

Musta been Noleg Dorkovich who dented a Wimbledon net post, then.

When Alcaraz breaks a racquet, he’s a beta male.

When Djokovic breaks a racquet, he’s an alpha male animal lionheart.

lol op.. what a thread, you have rendered me speechless!

I've said Trump fans = Djokofans and it's true

When their guy does the bad thing, it's temporarily not the bad thing, was done for the right reasons, and the establishment cucks only wish they could do it so well

Don’t club everyone together. I am a Novak fan and I have loathed Don the Con since the first time I saw him in the Apprentice 2 decades ago and nothing since has changed my opinion of him while my fandom for Novak has increased every day since I first started supporting him.

PavvyG is the ultimate avatar for my theory

 

[atatu]

The most cringe thing that Medvedev ever did was his post match presser after losing to Nadal in Australia, basically whining like a little kid because he didn't get enough fan support against one of the all time greats. His comments that from now on he's only going to play for Russia and that he will play in a Russian Tournament if it's the same time as Wimbledon were so lame. Later when Russians were banned from Wimbledon he was whining about that too.

 

[GabeT]

Give Carlos time. He may grow on some. Could bring us to new heights.

I trust he will rise to the occasion

 

[KingCarlitos]

I trust he will rise to the occasion

Yeah, He is different In a way players like Sinner’s aren’t. He rose to the occasion on days like 2023 Wimbledon F.

Novak has completed yet another incredible milestone that his rivals cannot and will not reach.

You simply cannot stop his greatness.

 

[vokazu]

Tennis will never be the same again after Federer and Nadal. Those two guys were Class Acts all the way from beginning to end.

Federer and Nadal didn't want to help lower ranked players to get more prize money as suggested by Djokovic. Fedal are selfish.

Federer cursed at the umpire on the way to losing to DelPo in US Open final. Federer got fined for cursing in Swiss German at AO. Federer smashed his racquet. Federer threw away his PlayStation controller or of the room after losing a game. Federer threw his racquet in an academy and it tore the curtain there.

Nadal told Bernardes not to umpire him anymore. Nadal told off Sonego at the net not to grunt. Nadal often held his hands up to delay his opponent's serve. Nadal got fined for time wasting and also on court coaching. He's a cheater through and through.

 

[Lleytonstation]

I trust he will rise to the occasion

Or fall short.

 

[NAS]

Give Carlos time. He may grow on some. Could bring us to new heights.

Lol what the hell

 

[KingCarlitos]

Not fall short, already short.

 

[FeroBango]

Except those times when Federer smashed racquets, was blatantly arrogant in ways Alcaraz cannot ever be about other players, and Nadal indulged in good ol gamesmanship.

Everyone has their faults, The media expects people to act perfect but that is not possible, even people like Nadal Fed and Alcaraz are human.

Fed is my favorite ever but this pedestal-placement is sickening because it just isn't true, or consistent for that matter.

Then come the Rafans who somehow find it cringe only when others Bamos and fist-pump, or let out late grunts.

At least the fans of Djokovic embrace him mostly for who he is and not for who he isn't.

 

[NatF]

Is this the end of the road for tennis? We're now entering the Degenerate Era.

Worst thread ever

The God of tennis!

 

[InsuranceMan]

@Fabresque you can keep going down the list there’s more of them

 

[Clay lover]

I know this thread is probably tongue in cheek, but just have the itch to point out that at least currently Alcaraz is MUCH MUCH more honourable than Djokovic.

Like one racquet smash to approximately one million, much fewer questionable MTOs and early retirements (actually conceding he was cramping and was docked a game for that), less time-wasting between points, didn't organize something which endangered public health...the list can go on...

I don't really care about arrogance as at least you're not doing something to gain an unfair advantage

Before someone jumps on me, I consider Djokovic to be better than most, but when compared with Alcaraz... ummm

 

[kevin qmto]

All 5 are horrible. At least none of them are spoiling Winston Salem with their presence.

 

[thaiporean]

we will find carlos carlitosssss

 

[Tallawah Tennis]

Nah, man. Novak guilty too. Wimbly final 2023 when he was broken by Carlitos, one example:

More importantly, were previous decades also not 'degenerate'? No swearing / arguing with umpires and shouting at lines people/ throwing racquets/ shouting and swearing at boxes/ etc. ? I think you'll find there were no such periods of exemplary behaviour.
