I agree regarding Federer—but this guy? I've never seen a more slippery tennis player. ☕

Have you actually watched one of his matches when he's losing? He rolls around clutching his "injuries"—acting like he's having some massive "cramps"... honestly, then once the momentum shifts back his way, it’s as if nothing ever happened.
That's just how it works—it's similar to when a player from a small college team grabs a single point and suddenly it's like they've won the whole set (referring to Murray here, just to avoid any confusion 😂).

Of course I've watched him; it's just that I don't follow athletes through that kind of lens. To be perfectly honest, his behavior doesn't really interest me, even if it certainly has the potential to be irritating to others. Personally, I always found that character Koellerer to be quite an entertaining figure. 😁

Djokovic had his own little quirks with those service breaks whenever he was trailing, and Nadal certainly had his habit of taking far too much time on court—which, of course, everyone seemed happy to overlook. But ultimately, isn't all of this just part of being human?

Keith Miller30 said:We aren't going to see that happen. Roger Federer is obviously the GOAT, and I don't just mean in tennis, but as an athlete in general—though I won't even count Totti since he transcends the category of a mere sportsman altogether. However, looking at this younger crop, Andy Murray is my number one; perhaps it’s because I'm not exactly a fan of Djokovic, and while I absolutely adore Nadal, there is just something about Murray that resonates with me more.

Nishikori really needs to prove that last season wasn't a fluke, Milos Raonic will likely never reach his full potential as a complete player, Wawrinka struggles with consistency, and Berdych seems to have hit a ceiling he simply can't break through. Then you have Ferrer, who is a tireless worker but is already pushing 33, and Dimitrov's specific playing style means he'll never be a truly complete player, so we shouldn't expect much from him on the clay courts.

That young kid Coric, though? He actually has the potential to climb to that top spot eventually.

The Top 10 is a given—but as for the rest? We shall see. There is certainly potential here—let’s just hope they can actually pull off that number one spot.

It honestly gets under my skin—and frankly, why shouldn't it? ☕

It’s just sad how things ended with Cantlols. That’s really all there is to say about it.

Poor Nimoy...

Leo 😢

Rest in peace

Watching Mad Max 2 was an unexpectedly heavy experience 🙏

Haha

I mean, I guess... which part of this is supposed to be funny? 🤦

This.

Look at that sun, just beating down on us... honestly, it feels like we might actually get roasted alive today if this keeps up.

There isn't one, but it got the job done. It was clearly offsides. 🎉
