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

[ojo rojo]

Worst thread ever

 

[Tallawah Tennis]

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

Nah, man. Roger supported equal earnings for women and helped improve earnings for lower ranked ATP players. He was a popular rep for the players Council.

Rafael Nadal Disagrees With Roger Federer Over Equal Pay For Women

the discussion caught fire again, with the likes of Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer commenting on the issue.

its trolling though

Good ol fashioned banter.

Spoiler: “Context”

View this thread for some more context

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.

Laughable! The tea circulating a while back was that Jelena walked in on Novak having intimate relations with Eugenie Bouchard in a hotel during Wimbledon in his Imaz/Wilderness years. Never mind what other sexual peccadilloes dotted that curious stretch of time. Not that I care about adultery in the slightest.

Is this real tea or biased rumor tea?

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.

Djoke tried to intimidate his 20-year old opponent in a Wimbledon final by breaking his racket on a net post after being broken to unsettle him.

 

[Third Serve]

Carlos is about as classy as Djokovic if not classier for his age. He’s fine, even though this latest outburst was unbecoming. The other three though? Hmm

 

[CHillTennis]

At least we still have Djokovic in there to keep things interesting.

 

[ChaelAZ]

Funny how the asterisks disappeared now, lol.

Anywho, the logic of the argument follows the same silliness of folks bagging on EV's because they can't immediately replace what the auto industry took a century to develop. Either a player starts with 25 grand slams or they are nothing.

FFS.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

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

180 cm propaganda

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Worst part is Chelsea has 115 players but not a single guy in the ATP Top 5.

@Poisoned Slice @Fabresque @Feña14

 

[fedfan24]

Yes Djokovic is such a gentleman, the way he assaults old ladies on court, screams at ball kids, faked injuries to retire when getting beat.

This thread inspired me to select an avatar photo for the first time in 20 years of forum participation.

Good trophy position for a serve... Wait, different axis

 

[jxs653]

I'm not impressed. Today's tennis is just fine.

 

[airchallenge2]

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

Considering the immense achievements Nole has got, I'd say whatever he did on the court (including smashed racquets etc) worked out very well in his favor. Do I think it's okay to lose cool like that? No, of course not. Was it worth it though? Absolutely.

 

[Impetus]

Pffftt.. All the nice things that would be said about Rune if only he was in top 5...

Great legs.. Like really nice legs.. I mean it - legs are fantastic!

it's unbelievable and terrifying at the same time...

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

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

Next up: The Crapocalypse Era

 

[roysid]

djokovic's bad behavior is endless. And its more severe in last 5 years when he plays with more intensity..Gets mad , curses at his box. Screams in court. Breaks racket, netpost what not. And boos the crowd too

 

[J D]

If arrogance and bitterness are virtues, then Novak is a great guy.

Carlos seems to be a class act so far, especially considering his age.

They are all human and subject to making mistakes but…., PED’s and violence against women are never acceptable. How are these two guys not suspended? Ignoring these is passive approval and gives tennis a worse black eye than the bad actors themselves ever could.

I have no dog in this fight, so don’t shoot the impartial observer.

Federer was very arrogant, but that didn't stop him from winning the title of the best guy on the tour for 20 years

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Rather easy to shine amongst that lot, no?
