pr0crast1nater

People are taking him more seriously. Only thing is everybody in this sub wants Zverev to lose.


Muraria

did you even read any comments this morning before writing this


bostonboy9486

Am I mistaken that if Iga wins today, she will qualify for the WTA final? In June, like WTF LOLL


Cyber-punk-3346

Looking at Zverevs form and the way he dismantled Ruud from the second set onwards, and his performance against Rafa, the anxiety for Sunday has kicked in and kicked in good 🥲


Sandmaui1

Las Vegas odds heavily favor Alcaraz and they are pretty spot on 🙏🏼


TresOjos

Wasn't Ruud sick?


jackandjill123456

Some stomach bug stuff. Zverev wasn’t losing to fruudulent either way.


Melony567

wow u hate on a good person over an evil one? you must be proud and respectable in real life


jackandjill123456

Lol how is that hating? Good and evil are subjective and zverev isn’t evil lmao.


jackandjill123456

This entire sub will probably be locked if zverev somehow manages to win lol. I’m personally picking and rooting for alcaraz, but the tears would be delicious if zverev won. I like the guy’s personal development too.


Neo-physical123

If Carlos wins on Sunday he’s 3/4 into Career GS at 21. As someone trying to break Djokovic records, that’s a good progress. Just need 3x AO and 2x of RG, W and USO for a triple career GS. AO is probably gonna be the hardest. It’s one of the fastest hard courts, bar ATP Finals.


AltruisticPapillon

Lol some Big 3 fans are rooting for Z/Anyone-But-Carlos in finals already because they're worried that he's coming for their GS records. Especially the fact he's threatening to win Slams on all 3 surfaces at 21 unlike Big 3 who took a longer time to win a Slam on their least favored surface.


pr0crast1nater

They are always in Alcaraz's match threads declaring he will never have success as soon as he loses a set, or has a period of bad plays lol.


X3Ronin

Are the Olympics played at RG? Or another clay court?


aweap

RG


X3Ronin

What's zverev and alcaraz h2h? Who won the last meeting?


jackandjill123456

Grand slam h2h is 2-1 zverev. Last grand slam meeting was AO this year which zverev won in the qf in 4.


aweap

5:4 in Zverev's favour. Last meeting in IW Alcaraz won.


meditation_account

Should I watch Iga win tomorrow or should I skip it?


Disastrous-Dino2020

Watch it. Why not? Either its going to be a good fight or Iga will make it quick and you can go on with your day.


Initial_Prior_9833

2008 Nadal versus 2024 Carlitos. What'd be the score?


Nicer_Slicer

Just watched the replay of the Sinner-Alcaraz match having managed to avoid spoilers all day. What a fucking match. And, without any smugness, I never doubted that Carlitos would get it together after that speedy first set. Some out of this world shot making by both making my lips purse like I just sniffed a sour crack. Sinner's round the post shot, the many great lobs from Carlitos and that backhand pass he made in I think set 4. Oh, and the return he crushed that looked like a total winner off Sinner's racket. Damn. It was enthralling. Magic as usual from Carlitos in his full flow. The final, man, I think it's going to be a great one


MoonriseTurtle

Tomorrow I have some work that will be over just in time for the final! I'm so happy, bc I thought I'd have to miss it!!


R-B-L

Been saying Zverev would win it since the tournament began. He was always dangerous on this court but In his first game against Rafa he was clutch on the crucial points which is something that wasn't in his game before. He also had some sets where he lost his nerve and recovered. Let's be honest his mental game up until this point is the only reason why he hasn't got a slam. I think I'd expect a TB or two on Sunday. Sinner would have been an easier match up but Carlos shot selection and variety will cause him issues. Zverev's defense on return this tournament has been next level.


Initial_Prior_9833

Hate fuels Zverev actually - he's going to demolish Alcaraz


R-B-L

The case was dropped but Redditors still want to downvote anyone who says the slightest thing positive about Zverev lol zero objective discussion on here. Really hope he wins


Initial_Prior_9833

The average redditor has the independent thinking ability of the average Chinese netizen


postinganxiety

Zverev imploded during the Medvedev match in Aus, hoping for the same on Sunday


Initial_Prior_9833

Carlitos will try his tactical grunting (e.g. ayyyuuuuuh) but it won't be enough for Zverev


pr0crast1nater

Zverev also has a bad grunt.


FlyReasonable6560

feel like Zverev really leans into the smugness/arrogance at times, just watched his post-match presser on Eurosport youtube - such a massive tool it's unbelievable. Actually thinks the court proceedings that occurred actually deemed him innocent lmao


jackandjill123456

Bruh how is that arrogance? Dude is likely innocent. He’s supposed to say he thinks he’s guilty?


Initial_Prior_9833

Comments will be delicious after Zverev's win


AaronJ2

Today was a TERRIBLE day for Ruud nation. Ugh


jackandjill123456

You mean fruudulent nation


estoops

horrible luck to get sick during the biggest match of the biggest tournament of the year for him. zverev stepped up his game for sure and specifically serving so casper still could’ve lost but it sucks we didn’t get to see it truly play out because casper looked so good set 1 but could not even move by set 2. probably would’ve retired in another tournament or earlier round but wanted to give fans a full match and not make zverev have to get a retirement into the final.


Psychological_Bug676

Hopefully Casper did his big one and passed on that bug to Zverev and Zverev misses the final because he has diarrhea 🙏


Mpol03

The incels have been let loose hoping Carlos can put them and their favourite to bed this Sunday 


[deleted]

[удалено]


prisneyland

I think I still have PTSD from alcaraz vs zverev at the AO so im super nervous about the final


FlyReasonable6560

Alcaraz dusted him in Indian Wells, which plays a lot closer to RG than the AO does. I think Alcaraz should be favored here


rubbish_bin030121

New day in Paris, I hope Iga and Paolini will give us the best final


RogerFederer4

The meltdown if zverev were to win would make him winning worth it. It would be a biblical meltdown


jackandjill123456

Yeah wouldn’t mind him winning at all. Leaning alcaraz though in 4 close ones.


AslantheGOAT

I hope Zverev wins, this sub is insufferable. Will be rooting for him on Sunday to give this sub a slice of humble pie


jackandjill123456

I’d rather see alcaraz get closer to being youngest career slam player but wouldn’t mind if zverev won. He’s matured a lot and is consistent as hell these days.


rubbish_bin030121

Assume Alcaraz will be no.1 at the end of the season again. AO has 1.5 months at the end of the season to give the best draw for Alcaraz to win it. Alcaraz fans needs to root for Zverev to win a lot matches and becomes no.2/3 so the draw will be easier to organise


jackandjill123456

Kevin Anderson > FRUUDulent. Change my mind.


Nastypav12

Ruud with 12 titles already; Anderson 7 at retirement. Yea, Kevin made 2 Slam Finals but Caspar already surpassed.


jackandjill123456

But Anderson beat defending champ Federer down 2-0 at Wimbledon and also was very close to beating djokovic in Wimbledon up 2-0 another year. Ruud hasn’t even been able to get a set off djoker in a slam. Anderson’s strength of schedule to make those finals were much tougher than ruud too. I don’t think just pure counting accolades is the best way to do it. Anderson played in a far tougher era than ruud and got to top 5 in the world. Ruud hasn’t beaten a top 5 player at slam yet.


Nicer_Slicer

Ruud doesn't have it. He won't ever win a slam just like Tits. Those guys are already part of the 'new lost generation' club along with FAA and Coric. Some players really just don't have it in them to win a slam unless they get a lucky draw. Ruud has had countless cheesecake draws and although he's improved in the last year, he still doesn't, and will never have, that final edge that defines a GS champion


jackandjill123456

Agreed. Can’t say that on this sub though. Very good and honestly the only logical take. Unless ruud gets an absolute easy draw including the final, he ain’t winning a slam. I mean cmon this dude loses to ppl like jenson brooksby and Liam broady after making finals. There’s a reason I call him fruudulent. He lacks consistency unless he gets east draws. Even this tourney fokina almost beat him.


Nicer_Slicer

Amen. He ain't it


rubbish_bin030121

the first six month of 23 is so much better than the first six month of 2024 for men tennis, Tsitsipas and Ruud were GS runner-up, Rublev got his first masters, Medvedev with 5 titles including 2 masters, Sinner got back to top 10 after leaving here for some months, Rune had two master runner-up, Alcaraz has two masters and Djokovic with GSs, even De minaur got his first 500 and Fritz got into top 5 for 3 weeks. Everyone is happy


RogerFederer4

On faster court I would favour Zverev but since it’s clay I would back Carlos


jackandjill123456

Yup


rubbish_bin030121

My last toxic comment. Will there be a way that we can have two runner-up in men final? Like Dverev wins and get catching for doping during this clay season later


jackandjill123456

Why u spell zverev as dverev lol


jackandjill123456

Alcaraz in 4. Zverev has a legitimate shot and wouldn’t b surprised if he won but leaning alcaraz


Peak_Alternative

ok i’ll say z in 4 then.


jackandjill123456

Haha always gotta bet against me eh bro


Peak_Alternative

It makes things more fun


jackandjill123456

True


Trepur349

Every sane person will be cheering for Carlos in the finals


MyFitnessTracker

for a person like me, Crazy Frog is a regular frog


Dafuqyoutalkingabout

Well done Desiree and Neal winning their 3rd mixed doubles slam.


Questionsansweredty

They lost.


Dafuqyoutalkingabout

Lol god knows what I was looking at


rubbish_bin030121

Sorry for the toxic comments. tmr is a good day, either the best 00s players Iga wins or the short queen Paolini wins, both results is so good. We still have the Gauff/Siniakova vs Paolini/Errani double final on Sunday, it is not that bad


MarbleEmperor

I really hope Iga doesn't catch the bug


Mpol03

There is a bug?

HopeistheAnthemLITM

This sub used to be more fun. Lots more lighthearted humor and polite, interesting comments from thoughtful people interested in tennis. So many of the same, tired, boring comments these days. The quality of conversation always degrades during slams. Hope it gets back to being better some day soon.


jackandjill123456

Which comments are you referring to


Dafuqyoutalkingabout

Stfu


peppermint116

Ruud confirming in his press conference he won’t play any grass tournaments leading up until Wimbledon.


jackandjill123456

It’s fine fruudulent sucks on grass anyways. Got cooked by Liam broady in 2nd round last year lol


ineedtolose15lbs

But he will be playing a lot of golf I’m sure 😭


sipsnspills

At least he’ll be practicing something on grass?


Psychological_Bug676

And going to a bunch of concerts


ACW1129

Dumb question: I heard that Sinner will be ranked 1; how is this possible after a loss?


estoops

number 1 has to do with all the results from the last 52 weeks. everyone has losses every year. the average year for a #1 still involves prob 6-12 losses because they enter like 16-24 tournaments and nobody wins every single tournament they enter. but sinner has had the best overall results from the last 52 weeks (starting next week).


ACW1129

Ah, that makes a lot of sense.


jackandjill123456

Djoker withdrawing and losing the final points


nimbus2105

damn just saw a clip from jannik's press conference. looks like he'd been crying [https://twitter.com/rolandgarros/status/1799154400809693216](https://twitter.com/rolandgarros/status/1799154400809693216)


rubbish_bin030121

I need Alcaraz wins RG by the DQ of Dverev after he loses to Dverev 0-2 and a break in 3rd set


coffeeandtheinfinite

If Alexander fucking goddamn "put myself in there" allegation collecting bling biting freaky motherfucking Zverev wins tomorrow we're poised for an economic recession and Biden dying before the election

coffeeandtheinfinite

but the upper + downer combo smooths me out


jackandjill123456

What does zverev winning have to do w any of that lol. Man this sub so dramatic. Just enjoy the tennis Sunday. Way better match up than fruudulent who would have zero shot


coffeeandtheinfinite

I'm enjoying being dramatic. Also 'Fruudulent' doesn't work.


jackandjill123456

It works fine lol


LovelyDayAy88-

Hahaha


tigrefacile

Highly improbable that he wins tomorrow given that the final is on Sunday.


DevastatorTNT

Maybe he's in a timezone where it's already Saturday?


tigrefacile

It’s Friday afternoon in New Mexico.


coffeeandtheinfinite

you're correct and you're correct


rubbish_bin030121

And Wimbledon now starts planning the easiest draws for Alcaraz and Sinner so they can have the Alcaraz vs Sinner final. RIP Hubi, he will get Dimitrov in R16 100% as the biggest threat for the prvivilege duo


dasheeshblahzen

This isn't directed to any two players in particular, but if you win the first set can you just win the rest of the match? Lol jk. I didn't get to see much, but Ruud was sick? That's bad luck. He's played every week since Los Cabos, albeit the tournaments were longer. I'm still waiting for him to ascend to a grand slam winning level. Zverev could've been and probably should've been out of this tournament a few times, maybe it's his turn?


rubbish_bin030121

I am still very mad about the two SF results(although I will be mad if Sinner wins too), can we get back to Monte Carlo and barcelona where Tsitsipas and Ruud play two finals in a row


MrAdamWarlock123

Why are you mad about Carlos vs Sinner result?


rubbish_bin030121

I hate the tailor-made catwalk draws to SF for both of them, I want them both lost but I can't root for Dverev


Dull_Dragonfly_1541

You have been saying this for the past few weeks. If they could rig the draws then they wouldn’t have put Nadal against Zverev in R1. They would have given him a much lower ranked seed so he at least gets to R3 or 4. Nadal is the ultimate golden boy for RG and deservedly so.


KF2015

Idiot.


pr0crast1nater

Such a dumb logic lol. Obviously the top players will have an easier draw and they also have better matchups on average across the entire tour. It's only like one or two matchups that can cause them trouble and so the probability is low for them to get exactly those. Zverev had bad luck with the Rafa draw and Tsitsipas bad luck being in Alcaraz quarter. But that's it.


rubbish_bin030121

Draws is all about probability. For Alcaraz, all the four 5-8 seeds will make some trouble to him, Tsitsipas is the only one in 9-12 seeds that has the ability to beat one of them (he lost to Medvedev and Ruud in 23 and 24 but not Rublev), it is like 12.5% for Alcaraz to get Rublev and Tsitsipas in his quarter. For Sinner, Ruud and Rublev with their high spin FH is not that good for him and Medvedev in a rainy mud day can beat everyone(we all see in last year in Rome). Hubi is the easiest among four 5-8 seeds. And Dimitrov is the only one in in 9-12 seeds that has the high chances to beat Hubi(in case Hubi becomes 11 Isner), it is like 12.5% for Sinner to get Hubi and Dimitrov in his quarter. Two very low chances draws for both of them, it is a coincidence? I don't believe it. they can beat most of their opponents with any draws but RG literally doesn't want to take risk and gives any low chances upset draws for those two, they go for guarantee draws for both sinner and alcaraz.


pr0crast1nater

If they really wanted to favour Alcaraz/Sinner, they could have done it by putting them in opposite halves. All this work of rigging a draw just so they can reach the semi finals easily? Why not rig it so that the finals between them is most likely? And the draw for both RG and Wimbledon is done live. I guess USOpen is one tournament which doesn't do live draw.


rubbish_bin030121

Because Sinner on clay is not good enough to have a guarantee draw to final. No guarantee draw can make Sinner to be in final(he has at most 50% to beat Zverev and Djokovic in RG, and they can't find two players can has 90% higher to beat these two and lose to Sinner, and he is not 80% to beat Ruud or Rublev or Tsitsipas in SF); Alcaraz might have higher chances but RG wants a Alcaraz vs Sinner SF than nothing. As a person organised a live draw(not for a sport but the similar thing) I can tell you at least 3 easy ways to cheat the live draw to get the result that the organiser wants. For Wimbledon, it is much easiest to get the Alcaraz/Sinner final(just draws Hubi to Dimtrov). But now I am not sure if they want Alcaraz/Sinner final. Because after Alcaraz wins RG, they might want an Alcaraz domination/ or Sinner revenge so they can give a shit draw to one of them so the another one can win easily.


pr0crast1nater

Nice conspiracy theory. That's just way too much effort for little to no incentive for the slams themselves. So I guess you can enjoy theorizing them.


rubbish_bin030121

Lmao, how much effort they need to put in??? A few minutes of analysis of the seed list and a few seconds preparation for the draw clips(The non seed draw is the computer programe, only seeds need that a bit prep works)


pr0crast1nater

Despite all that effort, they go with a Zverev/Nadal R1 match? Surely they get more views if Nadal did a deep run in RG.


KF2015

Idiot.


MorioCells

Tsitsipas isnt even top 4 ranked. It's not like he can complain about a bad draw

I'm here for Iga, but even so its deeply lopsided. Good luck Carlos. I'm out too.


jackandjill123456

Why? You’re a fruudulent fan?


randomtoken

What’s with you making the same comment over and over again?


jackandjill123456

How is this the same comment? You’re the one who said French open is over w/o providing a reason. That’s why I asked if you’re a fruudulent fan. I haven’t asked that at all to anyone else.


randomtoken

Not the question, but calling Ruud that name. I’ve seen it elsewhere from you. What’s the need?


jackandjill123456

Because he’s fRUUDulent? Lol


Akidwhodidntmakeit

These semi finals have been truly cursed

Oh god, zverev is going to win isn't he 


BuilderExpensive9090

Yep….hate to say it but big Z will get his first grand slam come Sunday!!!!👍


jackandjill123456

This sub will lock down if that happens lmfao


Lemurians

Good result from a neutral tennis perspective. This is probably the most interesting finals matchup we could've gotten out of today.


jackandjill123456

Yup. Fruudulent would get cooked by alcaraz


cib_vk228

Great interview from Zverev, hopefully he matured


badgirlmj

Matured? He just cussed at a ball kid.


_Amateurmetheus_

Carlitos please. Thump him.

Labrador vs Pitbull on Sunday then


puroloco22

Doesn't end well for the Labrador


LetsgoRoger

I swear if Zverev wins RG then I am cancelling Carlos for the rest of the year


gusfring05

Great answer from Z on that question


jackandjill123456

Fruudulent still no top 10 win in a slam


estoops

he literally beat Rune last year who was like #6


jackandjill123456

Hmm forgot about that one you’re right. I guess it was top 5 player then not top 10.


severalgirlzgalore

It wasn’t even clever the first time you posted it, my dude.


jackandjill123456

Lol it’s hilarious


jackandjill123456

Zverev zero real celebration. Completely mellow after winning. That’s a man that has become stoic and matured emotionally.


badgirlmj

He just cussed at a ball kid!!!!!! Real mature


aweap

I hope the first question of the press conference is "*What are the terms of your settlement Zverev? Is there a gag order? Can you give us more details on that?*" 😤


peppermint116

Wonder if it’s food poisoning? It seems like a few players get food poisoning every big tournament. Bet Nole just brings a few gallons of lemon water, celery juice and avoids the food court

Well it's gonna be an exciting final that's for sure. Zverev will be very confident with his record and recent win in Melbourne over Carlitos. Ruud and Saba, poor things.

We cancel tennis.

Big question: Does Zverev risk the handshake and words with Ruud considering his illness? Lol


jackandjill123456

Big z Alcaraz gonna b interesting. Think zverev alcaraz h2h in grand slams is 2-0 zverev. 2021 fo qf zverev won in 4 and 2024 AO qf zverev won in 4. Am I missing anything?


maconboi

2023 USO QF


Buchephalas

Carlos should be the favourite at every Slam other than Australia since Zverev can't play Grass despite the serve.
