Just an update: he'll come back to Italy to play at Cagliari, who were just promoted to Serie A thanks to Ranieri. Ranieri himself asked their management to get Jankto because he had already coached him at Sampdoria, in what has been Jankto's best season so far. So we'll see how an openly gay...
The thing is that having such a similar game style to Novak's is a disadvantage for Jannik when he plays against him, because then it simply comes down to who can execute that same game better and that relates to mental toughness and focus - and Djokovic is the undisputed best in that. Plus...
From what I've seen of him (i.e. only one match against us as he was injured for the other one), he's decent. He's big, strong, likes to run the length of the pitch to get to the end and cross, he's a good passer of the ball and obviously good in the air thanks to his height. From what I've read...
Lmao why would it be disrespectful to the ball kids? And different balls accumulate different level of wears and tears and fluffiness during the match, you might want to pick the one that is in better condition for you
As I was saying... :down:
It never gets any less devastating, no matter how much you've convinced yourself that you're prepared to see your favourite lose to Djokovic.
Edit: Now I hope Novak plays at least this well in the final, it would be so frustrating if he somehow dropped after this
Eh, if I was trying to stay rational and level-headed I'd say that Djokovic is unbeatable at Wimbledon even this year, and that giving his opponents hope just to crush it in the end is exactly what he does.
But I really have confidence in Jannik this year. He's improved and he's played well in...
Really hope not. I'm alright with any other combination of players, including Sabalenka-Vondrousova and Jabeur-Svitolina. But a Sabalenka-Svitolina final would be terrible, it wouldn't really be a tennis match. All the journos dripping saliva at the mere thought though.
So happy for him! And it doesn't hurt that I don't like Tsitsipas that much. Watching Eubanks against Medvedev will be hilarious, the battle of the tall stick figures :lolol:
Definitely. She's talented and full of spirit, just needs to patiently direct it with the help of a good coach.
On another note, I fear this evening's match between Berrettini and Alcaraz will end up being cut in half because of curfew just like the previous ones on centre court recently. Just...
Yeah but that's the sponsor's own logo design, it unfortunately stays the same however they decide to make our kit. I wish Jeep would revert back to simple black letters instead of plaguing our kits with corny lightning
I really like our away kit this season (last season's black one was also cool.) It's inspired by Monte Rosa's (lit. "Mount Pink") colors and surface, which you can see on clear days if you lift your eyes from Turin, along with the rest of the Alps.
And pink is one of our traditional away kit...
Sad for Murray but he fought well, for some petty irrational reason I can't stand Tsitsipas so I'm glad he had to sweat 5 sets to win this. Only Berrettini and Sinner left in the tournament from the Italian contingent, Berrettini won't go far but I hope he can get the better of Zverev next round...
I live a fair bit farther North and my chronic insecurity/indecisiveness keeps me from permanently decorating my skin, but I'll be sure to track down the girl next time I go to Rome and ask her all about you
As a neutral I'm happy for Eubanks, I remember his emotional reaction at getting into the top 100 for the first time in his life earlier this year; he seems like a great guy, and he's a decent commentator for Tennis Channel as well
Edit: I also missed the reference because I don't follow boxing...
