What would happen if the posters openly disliking each other out there met in real life ?

[Rafa4LifeEver]

I would have a drink with any person on this site and get along great. Nothing here is serious. There is not a single user here that I wouldnt enjoy meeting in real life. Actually it would be fun.

Well, except @I Am Finnish

Basketball: 1pt=free throw, 2= short range shot, 3= long range shot. Ok Makes sense.
Baseball: 1 run scored is for each time a base runner safely touches home plate. Ok. This makes a lot of sense.
American football: 1 point for extra point, 2 pts=2 point conversion, 2 points=safety, 3 points= FG, 6 points= TD. Once again, this makes sense. We are giving different values, based on how important the score was.
Tennis: 15-30-40, deuce, ad in, add out, except in a tie breaker. In a breaker, let's use 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 while ditching 15-30-40,deuce, add in, add out.

Tennis: I before E, except after C, but only when it's a hard E sound. However, words like weird are yet another exception.

As a tennis player, coach and follower, it troubles me that I can win more points and lose a match.



We could simplify tennis to a progressive scoring system like every other sport but nobody wants this.

If anything, TTW is a rather tame and respectful forum. The internet is litered with waaaay more toxic corners. People talk some smack here but its usually pretty chill.

 

[Bubcay]

Posting history here is a reflection of the real nature of people, so there is definitely a proportion of posters I would never have beers with unfortunately.. Someone who is spewing hatered and denigrating people on TTW, can't be that different in real life...

[I Am Finnish]

Everyone is capable of being a bestie Nothing crispy wings and my blended cocktails can’t fix

I would love to hang out with you

 

[Sudacafan]

I never want to make the mistake to talk to anyone in real life about tennis. Not in this lifetime.

Politics or religion are definitely better subjects for a casual conversation.

 

[Kralingen]

If anyone has beef with me, I just got US Open tickets for 2022.

You can fight me if you want, then we can drink Honey Deuce together.

Dude what days? I’m going this year too for the first time.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Same but you know I’d make you catch up on the tournament

 

[Kralingen]

Dude what days? I’m going this year too for the first time.

QFs for now locked in and looking at one of the early rounds as well. Early rounds are incredible, you can see so much tennis from like 10 feet away.

 

[Sudacafan]

It would be interesting.

 

[NeutralFan]

Would it be awkward ? Would they eventually become friends ? Do we really allow ourselves to be more "aggressive" behind a computer ?

Can't speak for others but i am quite friendly off computer as well as on computer. As far as drinking with them is concerned i don't drink, can't waste my money on such useless thing.

 

[ForehandCross]

If I remember correctly, I have heard that a Rafa fan and a Novak fan met in real life from here and got married.

Nice! I’m going to the QF night session on Wednesday and the SF night session on Friday.

 

[NeutralFan]

wow so metal dude

So much of testosterone @Sunny014 will be proud of him.

 

[Zara]

Religion is an interesting subject to me. I hate politics. Hate, hate, hate.

 

[Third Serve]

oh yeah… lol

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

dang that’s deep

True though

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Why what

Why not with her?

 

[Breakpointerer]

I would love to discuss weak eras, time travel tennis, and hypothetical 10 match series over a cup of coffee

I enjoy the silence.

 

[Permitlady]

Alot of disliking is hyperbolic

 

[ForehandCross]

oh yeah… lol

In an alternate universe @vive le beau jeu ! And @clayqueen will follow the same path.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Why not with her?

I was jk.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

I was jk.

Yeah you're just a kid, but why tho?

 

[Sudacafan]

Religion is an interesting subject to me. I hate politics. Hate, hate, hate.

When people talk religion, I start looking at my cellphone.

 

[NeutralFan]

I won't mind meeting anyone who is in to Schopenhauer, Albert Camus, ,Fyodor Dostoevsky , Søren Kierkegaard and any other philosopher.

 

[ChaelAZ]

I’ve met quite a few members, but mostly for tennis. Did some food and drinks as well. Agree or disagree, none of that matters, but we give each other grief as much here too. All in fun and doesn’t matter in real life anyway.
If anything like that REALLY has people getting angry, maybe best to find other things to do.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Yeah you're just a kid, but why tho?

@I Am Finnish is just jealous I'm always right.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

@I Am Finnish is just jealous I'm always right.

I bet she'd beat the s**t out of you lol

 

[Carax]

I had fun going throught this thread. It was a reminder that some of us are just passionate about the sport, and whatever happens here, stays here.

It would be amazing to get some drinks with any of y'all. They don't have to be alcoholic, if someone doesn't drink those.

 

[Federev]

I fight anyone I don’t get along with. None of that turn the other cheek bs. Revenge over forgiveness every time.

Srdan, I’d love to get coffee with you and talk things out face to face.

 

[Cupcake]

Am I one of the ignored ones yet?

You aren't on my list, but Zara is.

 

[Visionary]

OP, are they professional tennis players?

 

[acintya]

The screen emboldens us to behave in a more aggressive manner. We are all far nicer when we meet people in flesh and blood, not abstracted behind the cold blue screens.

this is why i use a lot of yellow color-
im so friendly

 

[Arak]

Nice to see everyone getting along well. I don’t doubt the majority of us are nice people. However, there are a few I would never want to meet in real life.

 

[Mainad]

Let’s talk about quantum physics over the phone.

We can never say for sure where a player will be and how fast he will move at a given moment in time.

The Uncertainty Principle?

 

[Mainad]

I won't mind meeting anyone who is in to Schopenhauer, Albert Camus, ,Fyodor Dostoevsky , Søren Kierkegaard and any other philosopher.

Does that include certain Greek tennis players?

 

[Poisoned Slice]

We would find an understanding that would break once we got back online again.

United supporters to stand in the corner, embarrassed.

 

[Hitman]

Yeah, it would probably be something like this.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Make sure your meetup is at a plant friendly joint.

See what I did there? Yeah, very impressive.

 

[Hitman]

Make sure your meetup is at a plant friendly joint.

And makes sure it happens during the grass season...

 

[D.Nalby12]

I'm sure we wouldn't fight in real life. There are many things in life matter More than Tennis.

 

[ChrisRF]

I think suddenly seeing someone who shares a quite special interest will create much more of a binding than rooting for a different player or having some different views about tennis could divide us.

Because let's be real, a person being that interested in tennis that he/she will write thousands of posts in a forum is a rare occasion.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

@Dominic & Andrey find out that I hate ngbs...

I don't like Sinner too so we could make fun of him together...

 

[I Am Finnish]

@I Am Finnish is just jealous I'm always right.

Egg won't get deported
Egg will play AO
Oh wait
